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.
00:31You was here, I'll get so gay.
00:35Given the throne, I didn't know to believe I was the queen now I'm meant to be.
00:43I've lived too large, one playful time.
00:47But I couldn't find my own place.
00:50I'm a problem, child, cause I got you out.
00:55But that's just how I'm here to be.
00:58I'll be hiding, shining like I'm born to be.
01:05We're dreaming hard, we came so far now I believe.
01:13We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
01:17You know together we're going.
01:19We're gonna be, gonna be going.
01:28We're waiting so long to break these walls down.
01:33To wake up and feel like me.
01:36With these patterns all in the past now.
01:41And finally live like the girl I'm meant to be.
01:45No more shining, I'll be shining like I'm born to be.
01:52Cause we are hearted boys.
01:56Cause I'm broken, I know I believe.
02:00We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
02:04You know together we're going.
02:06Gonna be, gonna be golden.
02:07We're gonna be golden.
02:08Oh, up, up, up with our voices.
02:12You know together we're going.
02:14Gonna be, gonna be golden.
02:16We're gonna be golden.
02:18I'm hiding, now I'm shining like I'm born to be.
02:24You know how time goes.
02:27You've got lies just who we're born to be.
02:36Your Australian Idol Top 8
02:43And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:46Carl Sanderlans
02:49Karsha 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 and unforgettable performances
03:21Check it out
03:25Idol got turned on its head
03:28As our Top 8 took on unexpected songs chosen by you
03:32I think you just created a new genre
03:39I think it's K-pop jukebox
03:42They rose to the challenge
03:47Our tradie Kalani talking about dancing in his heels is 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
04:14I'm still the one I love
04:16Lover
04:17The only one I've dreamed
04:19Of
04:21To the just one attention
04:23I know from the start
04:25Oh here he is
04:28I'm going to curl my eyelashes off
04:31It's so good
04:32This was Idol at its 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
04:52Somebody to love
04:54Whoa
04:55Yes, yes, yes, yes
04:59What's the actual
05:01So when it came to the judges' save
05:04Whoa
05:05They only had one choice
05:07This person created a moment we'll never forget
05:10Harlan
05:12You and my friend are straight into the top six
05:17So good
05:18I got this
05:19I cannot believe what we're doing
05:22We just win this
05:24It's been huge
05:25It's been huge
05:25Now eight will become six
05:28Everyone's so amazing
05:30But 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
05:42I want to stay in this competition so badly
05:44I just have so much more to give
05:50All of those performances can be seen
05:52Streamed right now on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes

05:59I know I will be
06:00Kyle, Australia is voting to support their favourite idol
06:04But with the talent so good this year
06:06The results could swing either way, right?
06:09The votes have gone up like One Nation's takeover, have you noticed?
06:13It's right up there
06:14It's big votes
06:15We just had a chat before
06:17We can't figure out for the life of us
06:20We've got no clue
06:20They're all fantastic
06:22They really are
06:23For sure
06:24Amy, we're almost at the final stages of the competition
06:26And shortly we're going to have to say goodbye to two incredibly talented singers
06:30How are you feeling about that?
06:31It's sad for us because I just love watching these guys perform every week
06:37So it's sad but it's also exciting because they've shown the country just what they're capable of
06:42So no matter what happens, they're set
06:44We know how great they are
06:45So true
06:47Yeah, make some noise
06:49Marsha, later on in the show
06:51Marsha, we have a very special guest performance from Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright
06:57Are you excited about that?
07:00Oh look, you know, it's just so wonderful
07:02Dylan's doing incredibly well
07:04And he's happy
07:06He's settled
07:06And he's successful
07:08I mean, what more could anybody ask?
07:10I'm so proud of him
07:12He's doing an incredible job
07:14Flying the flag
07:15Now, thousands and thousands of you have been joining the conversation about Australian Idol
07:20We love to see all of your comments
07:23So keep them coming
07:24Scotty, what's everyone saying?
07:25You know I love this part
07:26You really love this part
07:27No, but honestly
07:28Yeah, yeah
07:29Honestly, it was just wall to wall with people predicting who's staying and who's going
07:33Okay
07:33And I can tell you right now, every single Idol has got a mention tonight in the last 24 hours
07:38There's no clear favourite, it's anyone's game
07:40There we go
07:41But also on tonight's show, you can catch us live right now on TikTok
07:45So look us up and you can go behind the scenes
07:47Nothing's off limits
07:48They're doing a full tour
07:49Well, there are some things off limits
07:50Nothing's off limits
07:52Rikki, I'm going to go check on the Idols right now in the lounge
07:55Alrighty, alrighty
07:56In just a moment, we will learn who is safe
07:59And which four Idols will sing again to prove they should stay in the competition
08:03Then we will reveal your verdict
08:06And find out which two will be leaving Idol for good
08:09Scotty, what's the vibe like down there in the lounge?
08:12Oh, you know what it's like, there's always nerves here
08:14But I'm here with the eight Idols that performed last night
08:16But by the end of tonight, we're going to be left with only a top six
08:21Of course, our Brizzy boy Harlan
08:22He scored the judges save last night
08:26You're safely through to next week
08:28The thing is, everyone here, you're all really good friends
08:31I mean, Jacinta, whether you go tonight or stay, how are you feeling?
08:36Look, I'm feeling really blessed to be here
08:39I've never shared the stage with such talented and special humans
08:43So whatever happens, happens
08:45But just know I'm rooting for all of you
08:46Yeah, 100%
08:48And Jukebox Johnny, how are you feeling?
08:50I just think, um, I've learnt so, like, honestly so much from all of you
08:56And, like, I've grown so much as a person being around me for all this time
09:00And I'm so grateful for that
09:01So whatever happens, I love you all
09:04And thank you so much

09:43Alright, after last night's show
09:46You voted to save your favourite idol
09:49The singers announced as Safe will breathe a huge sigh of relief
09:54And take their place in the lounge
09:56With last night's judge Save, Harlan
10:02The four who are not safe will sing again

17:55I did not
17:55How's your maths
17:56Going for this now?
17:57What?
17:58Mathematically
17:59Yeah, mathematically
18:00I'm out of my league here
18:01Mathematically
18:02But
18:03I remember
18:04The Sunday night performance
18:05All very strong
18:07All fabulous
18:08But it's the nature
18:10Of the contest
18:10Everyone will go
18:12Except for one
18:13This is on another level
18:14Though
18:14This is like
18:14I feel like this show
18:15Has 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
18:22So
18:23You can't
18:24Still anyone's game
18:25Really
18:25Yeah
18:26Yeah
18:26Marsha
18:27We are at risk of losing
18:28Some serious talent
18:29Aren't we?
18:30Seriously
18:30Serious
18:31Talent
18:32You know
18:33I'm actually speechless
18:34So
18:35All I can do is wait
18:37To hear you guys sing again
18:39As always

19:44Kalani
19:45And Charlie
19:46Now each one
19:48Has a final chance

19:50In this position
19:51Next week
19:52If they survive
19:53Tonight's elimination
19:54This could be
19:56Their final performance

32:02I think U2 or one of them clowns, they own it.
32:06But it's where just, I was there.
32:08Rihanna got up on stage, just smashed out some things.
32:10Justin Timberlake.
32:11It'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.

32:22Thank you, Carl.
32:23Thank you so much.

32:32lovely, but that's what you are.
32:34Oh, yeah, you can.
32:36Can I?
32:36You can.
32:37I just think you're such a lovely soul, you know, and you've shown us yourself with
32:43your unusual and cool voice ever since the day we met you.
32:48And for that, I thank you, and I wish you all the luck, Charlie.
32:50Oh, thank you, Marcia.
32:51Thank you so much.
32:54Beanie boy.
32:56Man, you've just honestly, this whole brand has been amazing.
33:00And 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
33:08and my little brother's getting married and you're his favourite.
33:12And he was like, can he sing at my wedding?
33:14And I've already said you're really expensive, so no matter what happens, you're going to
33:19be very busy when this show finishes.
33:21Thank you, thank you.
33:24Our soul man, Charlie.
33:26Well 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 and he
34:06is returning to the Idol stage right after the break.
34:20You're watching the Australian Idol live verdict show.
34:24A 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 and since then he's won awards,
34:38topped 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
35:01And sitting in my car
35:06We'd watch the colors
35:09Dance in the darkness
35:13We had nowhere to be
35:16No need to run
35:23I want to go back to when we were wild and free
35:31We didn't know
35:32We didn't know what the future would make us be
35:39We'd roam the streets
35:41And we're never alone
35:43Each day
35:44I'll repeat
35:44Every thought
35:46If we go
35:48When the stars
35:50Are burning bright
35:53I'm thinking of those nights
36:01I'm thinking of those nights
36:10There's obvious things on the counter
36:12Old laundry on the line
36:14Bill stacked on the table
36:16That I do all the time
36:18Things 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 you're in being ever thought it'd be gone
36:52When the stars are burning bright
36:57I'm thinking of those nights
37:05I'm thinking of those nights
37:15Memories will never fail
37:17It'll be alright
37:19They keep us coming back
37:21I'm thinking of those nights
37:29I'm thinking of those nights
37:37I'm thinking of those nights
37:44I'm thinking of those nights
37:53I'm thinking of those nights
38:05Australia make some noise for Dylan Wright
38:10Come on, it's so good to see you again
38:13Oh my gosh, that song Dylan Wright and that brand new song those nights
38:17My gosh, so good to see you back on this stage
38:19Good to be back
38:20For old time's sake, should we get some comments from the judges?
38:23Yes, do 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
38:30It must be so surreal for you, you know?
38:33I mean, it's been a while
38:35But it sort of, it all floods back
38:38Like, whoa
38:38The PTSD, it comes back straight away
38:41It's good, it's good
38:43Well, Dylan, you've been working so hard
38:45Like, we see each other all the time at airports
38:47And I love seeing you in the Daily Grind
38:50And just touring
38:51That song is fantastic
38:52Like, we couldn't be prouder of you, man
38:54Well done for everything you've done
38:56Thank you very much
38:59Are you and Amy gate dwellers at the airport
39:02Or are you like the Virgin Lounge type of
39:04We don't say, you know
39:06We're everyone, you know
39:07I'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, so you don't do the Lounge?
39:15It's rubbish, the Lounge
39:16Oh no, because he's at the private terminal
39:17Of course
39:18Not anymore, I'm not
39:22I'm lined up on Jetstar
39:23It takes his McDonald's in, yeah
39:25I love it
39:26Dylan, your life changed forever
39:28When you won Australian Idol
39:30Number one album
39:31You've performed in Nashville
39:32You've won a golden guitar
39:33With your band Sons of Atticus
39:35The list goes on
39:37Yes
39:38What's been the highlight for you
39:40Would you say?
39:41Oh, it's been two years now
39:43So it's been a huge whirlwind
39:45And I've just been writing and recording so much
39:48I've got three different projects
39:50One's an electronic one called Breathe
39:51One's Sons of Atticus
39:52One's me
39:53So, just all of it
39:56Just being on this show
39:57And being able to get onto the road
39:59And see as many people as possible
40:00That's been a huge highlight for me
40:02You're on the hustle
40:03You're on the grind
40:03I love it
40:04Non-stop
40:05It's the way to go
40:06Dylan, you are heading out on tour again this May
40:09And Lily Grace
40:10From this year's Top 12
40:12Will be joining you for some of the dates
40:14How cool is that?
40:15Yeah, a Northern Rivers local
40:17Yes
40:17So we had to have her on board
40:18I've watched Lily Grace over the past few years
40:21Go to Tamworth and everything
40:22So I'm so excited to kind of have her
40:24Around 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
40:31And get behind Dylan Wright
40:32His new album is out in July
40:34But you can pre-order it right now
40:37And we look forward to last year's Idol winner
40:40Marshall Hamburger
40:41Hitting the stage next week too
40:43But for now
40:44Give it up for Dylan Wright
40:51Alright, business time
40:53Straight after the break
40:54It is the moment of truth
40:56We will reveal which two are safe
40:58And which two will be eliminated from the competition
41:01They are waiting backstage
41:03Ready to find out
41:04So don't go anywhere
41:05Australian Idol is back
41:07Right after this
41:18It's Australian Idol
41:19And we are 100% live
41:23For 24 hours
41:24Your votes came pouring in
41:26As you fought to save your favourite idol
41:28From elimination
41:29Earlier tonight
41:30We revealed who you voted as safe
41:32And into the top six
41:34We also revealed who you voted in the bottom four
41:36And they sang again to show us
41:38Why they shouldn't be in this spot next week
41:41If they survive tonight's elimination
41:44Judges, what would you say to the viewers at home
41:46Disappointed to see their favourite
41:49On the chopping block tonight
41:50It's hard because everyone loves someone for something
41:54You know, and that's quite a unique personal thing
41:56That's so true
41:58But all I continue to say is
41:59Please, you know
42:00If you really dig somebody
42:01You've got to vote
42:02And vote hard
42:03And get your family to vote for them
42:04Yes
42:05However you get those votes
42:06Get those votes
42:08Hustle
42:09Alright, Australia
42:10It is time to reveal
42:12Your verdicts
42:13Who is safe
42:14And who is in the bottom two
42:17And going home
42:18Tonight
42:20Hit the lights
42:22Let's do this
42:24In no particular order
42:26Based on the nationwide vote
42:29Australia
42:30You had 24 hours to have your say
42:33You voted
42:34And you decided
42:36Four incredible singers
42:39Are standing up here
42:40But only two spots remain
42:42In the top six
42:44The first idol safe
42:47And through to next week
42:51Is

43:38Well done.
43:39Thank the Lord.
43:40Although you're all great, but I did say she's my favourite, so cat's out of the bag.
43:45Kesha, why don't you talk first?
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, honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I had a tough week with that song
44:00and I was, yeah, it was rough to kind of get through it and do my best
44:05and be positive about myself and about my performance
44:09and just trying 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 comes up.
44:21Kesha, well done.
44:23You can join the others in the lounge now.
