00:01It's Australian Idol and we are live!
00:05For 24 hours, you voted and your verdict is revealed tonight.
00:10But before that, turn it up for your Top 8!
00:27I was a ghost, I was alone.
00:31Do I say, I'll get so gay.
00:35Given the throne, I didn't know
00:38To believe I was the queen that I'm meant to be.
00:43Live too large from a playful side
00:46I couldn't find my own place
00:50For a problem, child, cause I got you out
00:54But that's just how I'm here to be
00:58I'll be hiding, shining like I'm born to be
01:06We're dreaming hard, we came so far
01:10Now I believe
01:13We're going up, up, up, this our moment
01:17You know together we're glowing
01:19Gonna be, gonna be golden
01:21Oh, up, up, up with our voices
01:25You know together we're glowing
01:27Gonna be, gonna be golden
01:28We waited so long to break these walls down
01:33To wake up and feel like me
01:36With these patterns all in the past now
01:41We finally live like the girl I'm meant to be
01:45No more shining now
01:48We're shining like I'm born to be
01:53Cause we are haunted boys
01:56We're strong and I know I believe
01:59We're going up, up, up, it's our moment
02:04You know together we're glowing
02:06Gonna be, gonna be golden
02:07Oh, up, up, up with our voices
02:11You know together we're glowing
02:13Gonna be, gonna be golden
02:17We're shining, now I'm shining
02:20Like I'm born to be
02:23Gonna be, gonna be
02:24Gonna be, gonna be
02:25You know how I know
02:26You've got to license
02:28Who ever born to be
02:36Your Australian Idol Top 8
02:43And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:46And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:47And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:48Karl Sanderlans
02:49Narsha Hines
02:50And Amy Shark
02:52Last night your Top 8 delivered a spectacle
02:56And you delivered the votes
02:58The response was like nothing we have ever seen before
03:03Voting though is now officially closed
03:07And your verdict will be revealed very soon
03:10Last night our idols faced their toughest test yet
03:13Tackling curveball songs chosen by you
03:16From start to finish it was a ride of unexpected
03:19And unforgettable performances
03:21Check it out
03:25Idol got turned on its head
03:27As our Top 8 took on unexpected songs chosen by you
03:36I think you just created a new genre
03:39I think it's K-pop jukebox
03:42They rose to the challenge
03:47Atreide Kalani talking about dancing in his heels
03:50Is just what I needed
03:52Delivering spectacular moments
04:01Every time you walk on stage you're so pleasant
04:03But you're deadly
04:05Show stopping performances
04:08Great energy, great work, loved you tonight, good luck
04:11That lit up the stage
04:14You're still the one that I love
04:16The only one I've dreamed of
04:21To just pull attention
04:23I know from the start
04:26Oh here he is
04:28I'm gonna crawl my eyelashes off
04:31It's so good
04:32This was Idol at it's absolute finest
04:36Cause I'm your lady
04:40Performing up there today
04:41I felt free
04:43Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
04:45That's the best we've ever seen you
04:47Sensational
04:48But one performance soared above them all
04:52Give somebody to love
04:59What the actual
05:01So when it came to the judges' save
05:04Woah
05:05They only had one choice
05:07This person created a moment we'll never forget
05:10Harlan
05:13You my friend are straight into the top six

05:26Now eight will become six
05:28Everyone's so amazing but I really hope I've done enough
05:31As we count down to the finale
05:34I'm really hoping that I gave Australia what they wanted tonight
05:37I gave them my all and I'm hoping that's enough
05:38And you choose your Australian Idol

17:58Mathematically
17:59Yeah, mathematically

18:02But
18:03I remember the Sunday night performance
18:05All very strong
18:07All fabulous
18:08But it's the nature of the contest
18:10Everyone will go
18:12Except for one
18:13This is on another level though
18:14This is like
18:14I feel like this show has been building and building
18:16And we have some
18:17Just insane talent
18:19Like this season
18:20Yeah
18:20It's been absolutely phenomenal

18:23You can't
18:24Still anyone's game really
18:25Yeah

22:58Next to sing
23:00Is our school teacher
23:01From Adelaide
23:03With I'm like a bird
23:04By Nelly Furtado
23:05So this
23:06Is Samela
23:28You're beautiful
23:30That's for sure
23:32You're never ever
23:36change. You're lovely, but it's not for sure that I won't ever change, and though my love ain't real, and
23:55though my love ain't true, oh, I'm like a bird, I only fly away.
24:05I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is, baby, all I need for you
24:11to know.
24:15I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is, baby, all I need for you
24:22to know.
24:33Thank you so much.
24:38Once again, beautiful and deadly. You know, you put your own spin on it, and that's what it's all about,
24:43and look, Samila, you're a fine, fine, fine vocalist. You need to own that. I wish you all the luck.
24:51Thank you, Marsha. Thank you.
24:56How good has this season of Australian Idol been, if that's in the bottom? You know what I mean? Like,
25:02this is just insane. You were just, you've been so fantastic from the second we met you.
25:07This is a really, you know, hard part of the competition, and you're just so talented. I mean, you know
25:14that, everyone knows that, so no matter what happens tonight, you've got a whole bright future ahead of you.
25:20Totally.
25:21No doubt about it.
25:23Well done.
25:26Yes, Samila, gorgeous, beautiful, your own version. You won't be forgotten. You belong on that stage. Good luck tonight, hun.
25:34Thanks, Kai. Thank you, guys.
25:35Thank you, everyone.
25:38Alright, everyone, make some noise for Samila. Head on off stage, Samila. We'll soon find out whether you're safe or
25:46leaving Idol tonight.
25:47Kesha and Samila really have set a high standard. Will Kalani and Charlie step up to the challenge? It's their
25:56very last chance to prove themselves when they perform after the break.
26:01Australian Idol is back in just a moment.
26:13You are watching the Australian Idol live results, and tonight, our top eight will become a top six. Earlier, we
26:22found out which singers you voted safe and who landed in the bottom four.
26:26The unlucky four, Kesha, Samila, Kalani and Charlie, have one final chance to sing on the Idol stage again. They
26:34want to show why they deserve to remain in the running for the Idol title.
26:38There are only two more weeks until we crown our Idol champion, and all four want this more than ever.
26:46Kesha and Samila have already performed, but now it's time for Kalani and Charlie.
26:52Next up is our landscaper from the Central Coast singing Breakeven by the script. This is Kalani.
27:25I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing.
27:30Just praying to a God that I don't believe in.
27:35Well, I've got time while she's got freedom.
27:40Cause when her heart breaks, no, it don't break even, even.
27:45No, what am I supposed to do when the best part of me is always you?
27:51And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're okay?
27:56I'm falling to pieces.
28:01I'm falling to pieces.
28:06I'm falling to pieces, yeah.
28:12I'm falling to pieces.
28:38I'm falling to pieces.
28:43the landscaper, Nana Sue, and you sung that beautiful Natalie Imbrillia song, it's just
28:50like seeing you now, the performer you are, it's just, it's so impressive, man.
28:56You've really, really taken this whole experience and made it just beautiful for this country
29:02to watch.
29:03Thank you so much.
29:03And no matter what happens tonight, you are a one in a million.
29:07Thank you so much.
29:08I appreciate that.
29:14Kalani, each time you sing, I just wait to hear what you're going to do and how you're
29:19going to place your notes, and you've got the most beautiful voice I think I've heard
29:24for some time.
29:26Wow.
29:26It's really rough seeing you down here, but I wish you once again all the luck, my brother.
29:33Thank you so much.
29:34Appreciate you.
29:39Yeah, I heard all those little tricks you were doing in there.
29:42You made that song even better.
29:43Oh, that song's fantastic.
29:44You nailed it.
29:45You proved why you belong here.
29:47Hopefully you get to stay.
29:48Good luck, buddy.
29:49Thank you, mate.
29:49Thank you guys so much.
29:50Cheers.
29:53Kalani, that's one of my favourite songs, and you just, oh my gosh, took it to a whole other
29:57level.
29:57Well done.
29:58Thank you so much.
29:58From here, you will either head into the top six or head home.
30:02Best of luck.
30:03Give it up for Kalani, everybody.
30:05Cheers.
30:05Oh my God.
30:06Beautiful.
30:09Last to sing is our soul man from Perth, WA with Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder.
30:16This is Charlie.
30:36Yeah, come on, let's have some fun.
30:40Isn't she lovely?
30:44Isn't she wonderful?
30:48Say, isn't she precious?
30:51Oh yeah, Justin, what made that whole?
30:56And I can't believe what God has done through us, He's given life to one.
31:04But isn't she lovely, made from love?
31:12Isn't she pretty?
31:16Truly the angel's best.
31:20And I can't believe what God has done through us, He's given life to one.
31:28Isn't she lovely, made from love?
31:39Thank you so much, guys.
31:49Charlie, I love you.
31:50That was magical.
31:51I loved it.
31:52Let's have some fun because it did bring the energy up.
31:54I felt it lift in the room.
31:55You did a great job.
31:56It's Marshall's favourite song.
31:58Mine too.
31:58Mine too.
31:59It reminded me, I went to this place, Amy, you might know what it is.
32:01It's in New York.
32:02I think U2 or one of them clowns, they own it.
32:06But it's where, I was there.
32:08Rihanna got up on stage, just smashed out some things.
32:10Justin Timberlake, it's one of those places where...
32:12Oh, the hotel bar.
32:13Yeah, yeah.
32:14It's called the hotel.
32:14It's incredible.
32:15Just all these megastars come on there.
32:17It reminded me of that night.
32:18You just, you own the energy, man.
32:20Good luck tonight.
32:21You deserve to stay.
32:22Thank you, Carl.
32:23Thank you so much.
32:24Yeah.
32:28Oh, you know how I feel about you, Charlie, but I don't know if I can refer to her man
32:32as
32:32lovely, but that's what you are.
32:34Oh, yeah, you can.
32:36You're, can I?
32:36You can.
32:37I just think you're such a lovely soul.
32:40You know, and you've shown us yourself with your unusual and cool voice ever since the
32:47day we met you.
32:48And for that, I thank you and I wish you all the luck, Charlie.
32:50Oh, thank you, Mark.
32:51Thank you so much.
32:54Beanie boy.
32:56Man, you've just, honestly, this whole brand has been amazing.
32:59And from day one, again, with that orange beanie and just being so open about your stories.
33:04Again, I know I've said this to you before, but I can't wait to hear an album of yours.
33:09And my little brother's getting married and you're his favorite.
33:12And he was like, can he sing at my wedding?
33:14And I've already said you're really expensive.
33:16So no matter what happens, you're going to be very busy when this show finishes.
33:24Our soul man, Charlie, well done, mate.
33:27You can head off stage.
33:28Thank you, mate.
33:29Job well done.
33:29Everyone, give it up for Charlie.
33:33So Kesha, Samela, Kalani and Charlie have done what they can to show us why they should
33:39stay in the competition.
33:41Yes.
33:41Very shortly, we will find out who will take the last two spots in the top six and which
33:47two will immediately exit the competition.
33:51But before all of that, we have an exclusive performance from Dylan Wright.
33:59Yes, the Aussie Idol winner is now an ARIA chart-topper and golden guitar winner.
34:05And he is returning to the Idol stage right after the break.
34:20You're watching the Australian Idol Live Verdict Show.
34:23A massive number of votes came in for your idols and we are moments away from revealing
34:29who will stay and who will go.
34:32But first, in 2024, he was crowned the winner of Australian Idol.
34:36And since then, he's won awards, topped the charts and toured Australia and overseas.
34:41Here to perform a single from his brand new album, this is Dylan Wright.
34:50Those nights are not what I think about.
34:58When we were younger, sitting in my car.
35:05We'd watch the colors, dance in the darkness.
35:13We had nowhere to be, no need to run.
35:23I want to go back to when we were wild and free.
35:31We didn't know what the future would make us be.
35:39We're on the streets and we're never alone.
35:42Each day on repeat and we thought it'd be gone.
35:48When the stars are burning bright.
35:53I'm thinking of those nights.
36:01I'm thinking of those nights.
36:10There's various things on the counter, old laundry on the line.
36:15Bill's stacked on the table, that I do all the time.
36:19Things ain't been the same since they were way back then.
36:23Sometimes I wish I could trade this all in.
36:27I want to go back to when we were wild and free.
36:34And we didn't know what the future would make us be.
36:43We're on the streets and we're never alone.
36:47Each day on repeat and we thought it'd be gone.
36:52When the stars are burning bright.
36:57I'm thinking of those nights.
37:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
37:05I'm thinking of those nights.
37:09Oh, oh, oh, oh.
37:15Memories will never fail.
37:18It'll be all right.
37:19They keep us coming back.
37:21I'm thinking of those nights.
37:25Oh, oh, oh.
37:29I'm thinking of those nights.
37:33Oh, oh, oh.
37:36Yeah, I'm thinking of those nights.
37:41Oh, oh, oh.
37:44Yeah, I'm thinking of those nights
37:53I'm thinking of those nights
38:04Australia, make some noise for Dylan Wright!
38:09Come on, it's so good to see you again!
38:13Oh my gosh, that song, Dylan Wright and that brand new song
38:16Those Nights, my gosh, so good to see you back on this stage.
38:20Good to be back.
38:20For old time's sake, should we get some comments from the judges?
38:24Do we have to?
38:25Judges, what did you think of Dylan's performance?
38:27How good is it having him back here?
38:29We were actually saying, it must be so surreal for you, you know?
38:33I mean, it's been a while, but it all floods back like, whoa!
38:39Yeah, the PTSD, it comes back straight away.
38:40Oh, it's good, it's good.
38:43Well, Dylan, you've been working so hard.
38:46Like, we see each other all the time at airports.
38:48Yes.
38:48And I love seeing you in the Daily Grind and just touring.
38:51That song is fantastic.
38:53Like, we couldn't be prouder of you, man.
38:54Well done for everything you've done.
38:56Thank you very much.
38:58Hey, um, are you and Amy, are you and Amy gate-dwellers at the airport or are you like the
39:03Virgin Lounge type of...?
39:05Uh, we don't say.
39:06You know, we're everyone, you know?
39:08I'm a gate-dweller.
39:09Are you really?
39:10That's surprising.
39:10I love the little muffin at the cafe.
39:12I'm not interested in those free biscuits and cheese.
39:14Oh, you don't, oh, so you don't do the lounge?
39:15It's rubbish, the lounge.
39:16Oh no, because he's at the private terminal.
39:18Of course.
39:19Not anymore, I'm not.
39:21I'm lined up on Jetstar.
39:24It takes this McDonald's in, yeah.
39:25I love it.
39:26Dylan, your life changed forever when you won Australian Idol.
39:30Number one album.
39:31You've performed in Nashville.
39:32You've won a golden guitar with your band Sons of Atticus.
39:35The list goes on.
39:37Yes.
39:38What's been the highlight for you, would you say?
39:41Oh, it's been two years now.
39:43So it's been a huge whirlwind and I've just been writing and recording so much.
39:48I've got three different projects.
39:50One's an electronic one called Breathe, one's Sons of Atticus, one's me.
39:53So just all of it.
39:56Just being on this show and being able to get onto the road and see as many people as
40:00possible, that's been a huge highlight for me.
40:02You're on the hustle.
40:03You're on the grind.
40:04I love it.
40:04Non-stop.
40:05It's the way to go.
40:07Dylan, you are heading out on tour again this May and Lily Grace from this year's
40:12Top 12 will be joining you for some of the dates.
40:14How cool is that?
40:15Yeah.
40:15A Northern Rivers local.
40:17Yes.
40:18So we had to have her on board.
40:19I've watched Lily Grace over the past few years, go to Tamworth and everything.
40:22So I'm so excited to kind of have her around our hometown up in the Northern Rivers.
40:27Love it.
40:27Can't wait to see you live.
40:28Got to get out there.
40:29Get out there, Australia.
40:30Grab your tickets and get behind Dylan Wright.
40:33His new album is out in July, but you can pre-order it right now.
40:37And we look forward to last year's Idol winner, Marshall Hamburger, hitting the stage next
40:43week too.
40:44But for now, give it up for Dylan Wright.
40:51All right, business time, straight after the break.
40:54It is the moment of truth.
40:56We will reveal which two are safe and which two will be eliminated from the competition.
41:01They are waiting backstage, ready to find out.
41:04So don't go anywhere.
41:05Australian Idol is back right after this.
41:18It's Australian Idol and we are 100% live.
41:23For 24 hours, your votes came pouring in as you fought to save your favourite Idol from
41:29elimination.
41:29Earlier tonight, we revealed who you voted as safe and into the top six.
41:34We also revealed who you voted in the bottom four and they sang again to show us why they
41:39shouldn't be in this spot next week if they survive tonight's elimination.
41:43Judges, what would you say to the viewers at home disappointed to see their favourite on
41:49the chopping block tonight?
41:50Well, it's hard because everyone loves someone for something, you know, and that's quite
41:55a unique personal thing.
41:57That's so true, but all I continue to say is please, you know, if you really dig somebody,
42:01you've got to vote and vote hard and get your family to vote for them, you know.
42:05Yes.
42:05However you get those votes, get those votes.
42:08Hustle.
42:09All right, Australia, it is time to reveal your verdict.
42:13Who is safe and who is in the bottom two and going home tonight?
42:20Hit the lights.
42:21Let's do this.
42:24In no particular order, based on the nationwide vote, Australia, you had 24 hours to have your
42:32say.
42:33You voted and you decided.
42:37Four incredible singers are standing up here, but only two spots remain in the top six.
42:44The first idol safe and through to next week is...
42:52Kesha!
42:58Kesha!
43:07Congratulations!
43:25You're safe for another week, how do you feel?
43:27Kyle just...
43:28Made love to the death, yes.
43:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:34That's my girl.
43:37Hey, nice.
43:38Well done.
43:39Thank the Lord.
43:40Although you're all great, but I did say she's my favourite,
43:42so cat's out of the bag.
43:45Kesha, why don't you talk for a second?
43:48Oh, I don't have any words that can describe the feeling that I feel.
43:53Kyle, over to you.
43:55No, thank you.
43:56Honestly, from the bottom of my heart,
43:58I had a tough week with that song,
44:00and I was, yeah, it was rough to kind of get through it
44:05and do my best and be positive about myself
44:08and about my performance
44:09and just try not to, you know, make it a bad thing
44:14that you've got to challenge yourself.
44:16So I'm happy I challenged myself.
44:18Thank you so much, guys.
44:19I'm so excited to show you what I've got.
44:21Kesha, well done.
44:23You can join the others in the lounge now.
44:25Congrats, beautiful.
44:26Take a sigh of relief.
44:28All right.
44:31One spot left in the top six.
44:34You really can feel how important this moment is right now
44:38for everyone up on this stage.
44:40Sadly, though, two of them are about to leave the competition for good.
44:45Congrats to all of you.
44:47The results are in, and here we go.
44:51The final singer, safe, and into the top six
44:55after a very, very close result is...
