00:01It's go time Australia, we are live and tonight we find out which idols are bound for grand finale glory.
00:09You voted, you decided, your verdict revealed shortly.
00:13But before that, make some noise for your COP6!
00:32And as it fell, you rose to claim it.
00:36It was dark, and it was over, until you kissed my lips and you saved me.
00:44But there's a side to you that I never, never knew.
00:49All the things you'd say they were never true, never true.
00:53In the games you played, you would always been, always win.
00:57But I set fire to the rain, watching more as I touch your face.
01:06Let it burn while I cry, cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name.
01:14When I lay with you, I could stay there, close my eyes.
01:22To be here forever, you and me together, nothing gets better.
01:30Cause there's a side to you that I never, never knew.
01:35All the things you'd say they were never true, never true.
01:39In the games you played, they would always, would always win.
01:45But I set fire to the rain, watching more as I touch your face.
01:54Well, it burned while I cried, cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name.
02:01I set fire to the rain.
02:06And I could burst into the rain, when something died.
02:12Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time.
02:18And I set fire to the rain, when something died.
02:26And I set fire to the rain, when something died.
02:26Let it burn while I cry, cause I'm not your name.
02:33And I set fire to the rain, when something died.
02:34Let it burn while I cry.
02:45Let it burn while I cry.
02:47That's all I'm in there.
02:50What are you?
02:55Let it burn.
02:59Let it burn while I cry, and I'm not sorry, but it's okay.
03:06We got your stand.
03:11Good.
03:11Good, good, good.
03:13on who you want standing on the grand finale stage.
03:16A phenomenal number of votes came in for your top six,
03:20and any one of them has the potential to win the title.
03:23But unfortunately, three will leave the competition tonight.
03:29I can confirm.
03:30Voting has closed,
03:31and we'll begin revealing your verdict very soon.
03:35Last night delivered both tears and triumphs in equal measures
03:39as your top six took to the stage for their heroes.
03:42Here's a reminder of how it went down.
03:46Our final six idols dug deep.
03:51With tributes to the loved ones in their lives.
03:56My dad's playing for me on stage.
03:59I feel like a little girl again.
04:01I can't imagine anything more emotional
04:04than what you just did with your dad.
04:06Delivering a night of heartfelt performances.
04:13It's so lovely that you dedicated that song to your ma.
04:16And nobody puts Jacinta in the corner.
04:19That's what I wanted to say.
04:22Filled with love and raw emotion.
04:27I was choked up.
04:28All dads watching that want to be that sort of father that your dad is.
04:33I love you, Dad.
04:40Making memories that will last forever.
04:42As long as you love me.
04:45That was a beautiful song.
04:47From the heart to your Nan.
04:49My favourite place was my Nan's house.
04:52And I just think you need to cherish those times.
04:56Because that was beautiful, what you just did.
04:58I've been waiting my whole life for a moment like this.
05:01It's the pinnacle of my career now.
05:04And with the grand finale just one week away.
05:10And I love that you're doing this for Bunbury.
05:12I love that town so much.
05:14You've done them really proud.
05:16Oh, I'm still standing.
05:19They left everything on the stage.
05:22Rising to the moment when it mattered most.
05:25Oh, I'm still standing.
05:28To get us in the palm of your hand.
05:31Just incredible to watch.
05:34This is it, Australia.
05:36My whole life has gone all for this.
05:39I don't want to see anyone leave.
05:40If this wasn't a competition, they would all be superstars.
05:45You voted.
05:46I'm so keen for it.
05:47I'm so hungry for it.
05:48And I really hope Australia likes what I've done.
05:50You decided.
05:52I'm hoping that Australia saw my heart, sees my soul.
05:55Who will make?
05:56And I just want to get to the grand finale so bad.
05:59There's nothing that I want more.
06:01The grand finale.
06:03It would mean the absolute world to get through to the grand finale.
06:07So, yeah, I'm praying.
06:12It was such an amazing night.
06:14And you can relive all of them right now on iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music.
06:19And you can look them up and add them to your playlist now.
06:21So, Amy, we have got a top six, but only three spots available in the grand finale.
06:26We are in for a heartbreaking night.
06:29Aren't we ever.
06:30I don't know what to expect tonight.
06:32I'm really scared, but I'm also so proud of all of them.
06:36So, yeah, no matter what happens, you guys have done so well.
06:40So, good luck tonight.
06:45Kyle, in addition to the voting results, we also have an aria, hall of famer and an all-round legend
06:53hitting the stage tonight.
06:54Miss Marsha Hines is performing.
06:59How exciting is that?
07:01It's pretty exciting.
07:02To watch Marsha do what she's been doing since she was born, it's remarkable.
07:08And good luck to you guys.
07:09We were just talking earlier in the ads.
07:11We don't even know any idea who's got a chance to get through.
07:15We can't call it, you know.
07:16But every person's record would be so different and unique and worth buying.
07:19Yeah, they look like a super group.
07:21And can we thank you guys while we're here for one of the best Australian idols we've ever had?
07:27Yes.
07:33Now, we know what our judges think of our idols, but we also love hearing from you, the critics at
07:39home, don't we, Scotty?
07:40Certainly do.
07:41I love looking at all the comments, particularly the ones where you shout in capital letters.
07:45They are my favourite on Facebook and Instagram.
07:47We look at all of them, but right now, Rosie Loves Kelpies on Instagram said she is hosting an idol
07:53watch party tonight and wants a shout-out on TV.
07:55Well, here's your shout-out, Rosie.
07:57What's up, Rosie?
07:58Over on Facebook, we've got Lele from Bondi.
08:01She says she wishes all the top six could go through the grand finale.
08:04And a lot of people have been saying the same thing.
08:06It doesn't work like that, guys, unfortunately.
08:08We wish, but no, it couldn't do that.
08:10Keep the comments coming in.
08:11We absolutely love them.
08:12But, Ricky, I'm going to go check on the top six.
08:14All righty.
08:15Okay, yeah, guys, we are doing things a little differently tonight.
08:18You will hear all of your top six perform again.
08:22And along the way, we'll reveal your verdict and find out which three are headed into the Australian Idol grand
08:29finale.
08:30Scotty is in the lounge with our top six.
08:32How are they doing down there, Scotty?
08:33They're doing good, all things considered.
08:35We've got six here right now, but by the end of the show, only three will remain.
08:41So, Kesha, John and Harlan, how are you all feeling tonight?
08:45Oh, yeah, you know, it's definitely a difficult night to see anyone go home or yourself go home.
08:52But I think we've all just embraced this amazing opportunity.
08:56And, you know, my heart is with every single one of you here.
08:59And I'm so lucky to experience this.
09:01So, I'm just feeling more grateful than anything.
09:03So, thank you, guys, and thank you, Idol, for this opportunity.
09:07I'm so excited.
09:09Very scared.
09:09But let's just rip the band-aid off.
09:13Well, it's really scary.
09:15Yeah, above anything, far out, I'm just so proud to be here with all you guys.
09:21Like, it's been truly an amazing experience.
09:23And, yeah, we've all come so far.
09:25So, yeah.
09:26Awesome stuff, yeah.
09:28All right, Trey, Jacinta Kalani, how are the nerves doing?
09:32Yeah, definitely feeling the nerves.
09:33But I just feel very lucky to be here with such an incredible top six.
09:37Yeah, feeling blessed.
09:39Feeling blessed.
09:41I'm feeling a mixture of being terrified and blessed.
09:45It's sort of a bittersweet moment because, you know, there's some, like, we're all so amazing.
09:49And it's so cool to see us all going for our dreams.
09:52But, you know, sadly, three of us will go.
09:54So, I'm just, yeah, my heart's a little bit there at the moment.
09:58Definitely, I think, you know, as we all said, we're all so grateful for this experience.
10:03And anything beyond this point is a huge bonus.
10:05I mean, we all want to win, but, yeah, we've all come so far.
10:10And it's, I think, this is a life-changing experience for all of us.
10:13So, we're all just stoked to be here.
10:15We've made lifelong friends.
10:16And, yeah, we've got Australia and the judges to thank.
10:21All righty.
10:23Well, everyone is performing this evening.
10:26And the first two to sing are...
10:36John and Harlan.

12:09Woods dancing to the jailhouse rock.
12:12Spider-Murvy played his tennis saxophone.
12:14Me and the joy blown on his spot trombone.

13:07Another classic from you.
13:08You know what, I forget, you're always fun,
13:11but I forget you've got a little voice on you there too.
13:14It's not to be forgotten.
13:15If you get through, it's a blessing for you, man.
13:19It's always been great since day one.
13:21Wouldn't you agree, Mark?
13:21You're just the best.
13:23You know, and you bring such...
13:29You bring such joy, and I wish you all the luck.
13:32Thank you so much.
13:33You're welcome, Dalton.
13:36I love how, like, you're in the top six,
13:39and Kyle's like,
13:39you've actually got a little voice on you there.
13:43Johnny, wow.
13:43I mean, like I said it last night,
13:46you came into that audition room,
13:47and we were like,
13:48I mean, he's got such a vibe.
13:50Let's see how many tricks he's got up his sleeve.
13:51Apparently, you have many tricks.
13:53You keep going,
13:53and that was another fine one.
13:55Well done.
13:56Good luck tonight.
14:01Let's hear it for John, everybody.
14:06Very soon, we'll find out
14:07if you are heading into the grand finale
14:09or heading home.
14:10Head off stage for now, Johnny.
14:12Well done.
14:15Next to sing is Harlan,
14:17our ballad king from Brisbane.
14:19Proudly looking on are his parents,
14:21Mariah and Rowan,
14:23singing the chart-topper,
14:24scared to be lonely.
14:26Give it up for Harlan.
14:47It was great at the very start.
14:51Hands on each other,
14:54couldn't stand to be far apart.
14:58And the closer, the better.
15:01And now we're picking fights
15:03and slamming doors,
15:06magnifying all our flaws.
15:09And I wonder why,
15:11wonder what for,
15:13why we keep coming back for more.
15:18Is it just our bodies?
15:22Are we both losing our minds?
15:26Is the only reason you're holding me tonight?
15:29Because we're scared to be lonely.
15:32And do we need somebody
15:35just to feel like we're all right?
15:39Is the only reason you're holding me tonight?
15:44Cause we're scared to be lonely.
16:09Harlan, you, you have been a joy
16:11since the first day we heard you
16:14and laid eyes on you.
16:15And I have to agree
16:17with your music teacher.
16:19I really hope that
16:20the world gets to see you.
16:22Quite a talent.
16:23Thank you so much.
16:25They'll see him.

38:28Judges, what did you think?
38:30Girlfriend.
38:30Queen.
38:32You crushed it.
38:34That was enough to make me go and see a musical.
38:37You know I'm not a musical person.
38:38I know you're not.
38:38You've got to come see us.
38:39If that's the feeling, that's electrifying.
38:41I loved it.
38:42That was so good.
38:43Incredible, right?
38:44So good.
38:45That was just insane.
38:46Marsha, that was a little sample of your new stage show, Velvet Inferno,
38:50which kicks off at the Sydney Opera House in July.
38:53Tell us about the show.
38:53The show is about disco.
38:55It's about circus.
38:56Great bodies in it, by the way.
38:58Good looking.
38:59Eye candy.
38:59One right here, right?
39:00Eye candy.
39:01But you've got to come see it.
39:02Wear some stuff.
39:04You know, wear your disco clothes and stuff.
39:06And, you know, just come and enjoy the night.
39:08Of course.
39:08That was such a vibe.
39:09That's going to be such a fun show.
39:12If you want to see Marsha live in Velvet Inferno,
39:15get your tickets now at MarshaHynes.com.
39:18Everybody on your feet.
39:19And give it up for Marsha Hynes.
39:27Okay.
39:27Right after the break, we've got Kesha and Trey.
39:30They're going to perform,
39:31and we'll find out which one of them
39:32will be voted into next week's grand finale.
39:35Don't go anywhere.
39:36Australian Idol is back right after this.
39:50Australian Idol is live,
39:52and so far tonight,
39:53we have confirmed Harlan and Kalani
39:58as the first two heading into next week's grand finale.
40:02That means there is just one spot left.
40:06Which of our last two singers,
40:08Kesha or Trey,
40:09have you voted to take the final spot?
40:12Let's hear them sing again,
40:13and then we will reveal your verdicts.
40:16First to take to the stage is Kesha,
40:19our singing skier from Jindabyne in New South Wales.
40:22Proudly watching on from the audience
40:24are her family and friends,
40:27singing Dancing Queen by Ava.
40:28But this is Kesha.
40:51Friday night and the lights are low
40:57looking now for a place to go
41:02where they play the rock music.
41:05Everything is fine.
41:08You're in the mood for a dance.
41:12And when you get the chance,
41:17you are the dancing queen.
41:21Feel the beat from the tambourine.
41:27Oh, yeah.
41:30You can dance.
41:33You can chive.
41:36Having the time of your life.
41:40Oh, see that girl.
41:44Watch that scene.
41:47Digging the dancing queen.
41:58Thank you, everyone.
42:08You know, Kesha, through it all,
42:10there's something I'd like to say to you,
42:12and I'd like to say that I want to thank you for your grace,
42:15because you've been so gracious and so nice during this whole thing,
42:19and I know this is madness, you know,
42:22and I spoke to you a little bit earlier,
42:24and you just said,
42:25look, regardless, it's just been a great experience,
42:28and for that I thank you.
42:30Thank you so much, Kesha.
42:31The best experience ever.
42:36I've started getting fed a lot of your TikToks,
42:39and it's just really funny because you're, you know,
42:42you're such a vibe and you're so funny,
42:44and then you come out here and you're such a boss
42:47and you're such a professional,
42:48and that's exactly how to play it.
42:50You know exactly who you are when you're not on the stage,
42:53but when you get on the stage, man,
42:54it's just like all eyes on me,
42:56and they are.
42:58We're just obsessed with you,
42:59and whatever happens tonight,
43:01you have got such a bright future, no doubt.
43:05Thank you, Amy.
43:06I appreciate it.
43:07I really do.
43:10Yeah, beautifully done.
43:12That's everyone's favourite song,
43:14and you somehow made it better than the original.
43:17That's very hard to do.
43:18And, man, yes, it's nice that you're this and you're that,
43:22but you're frickin' hot up on that stage.
43:26And it's going to be tough.
43:28You or Trey, that's not fair to this country.
43:32No, it's not.
43:32I think we're going through enough struggle
43:34without putting this pressure on the public.
43:37Don't you think?
43:38It's terrible.
43:39Good luck, honey.
43:40Well done.
43:40Thank you, Carl.
43:44Have another snake, Carl.
43:46You'll be right.
43:46Just pop another little snake in your mouth there.
43:49We've had so many pythons tonight.
43:50This is his big.
43:50It always seems to make me feel wet.
43:52Just keep eating things.
43:53Yes.
43:54It makes you feel better.
43:55I know the feeling.
43:56Give some love to Kesha, everybody.
43:59Thank you, guys.
44:00Thank you, guys.
44:01In just a few moments,
44:02we're going to reveal if Australia has voted you
44:04into next week's grand finale.
44:07Well done.
44:08Head off stage.
44:09Well done, Kesha.
44:09Thank you, everyone.
44:10Thank you, guys.
44:13Next to sing is Trey, our R&B dad from Melbourne.
44:18In the audience, as always, is his beautiful wife, Victoria,
44:22singing Ordinary People by John Legend.
44:25And this is Trey.
44:49Girl, I'm in love with you.
44:50This ain't the honeymoon.
44:53We're past the infatuation phase.
44:58We're right in the thick of love.
45:00At times we get sick of love.
45:03It seems like we argue every day.
45:05Although love sometimes hurts, I still put you first.
45:11And we'll make this thing work.
45:13But I think we should take it slow.
45:17We're just ordinary people.
45:21We don't know which way to go.
45:26Because we're ordinary people.
45:31Maybe we should take it slow.
45:34Take it slow.
45:36Oh, oh, oh, oh.
45:40And next time we'll take it slow.
45:43Oh, oh, oh, oh.
45:59Trey, oh, man.
46:02This is just, like you said, this is just a really crappy situation tonight.
46:06But I think obviously winning this competition would be a life-changing experience for anyone.
46:15But you have to know that no matter what happens, like, you have got so much ahead of you.
46:23I know you've got so much music ready to go.
46:25I hear that through the grapevine.
46:27So just know whatever happens tonight, it's not the end.
46:31That's all I want to say.
46:32Absolutely.
46:32Thank you, Amy.
46:33I appreciate it.
46:37You know, as Kyle's already stated, this is so hard.
46:42The two of you up against each other, this really stinks, you know?
46:46But only one person can win.
46:49And, you know, Trey, I know that most of your life you've wanted to do this.
46:53And I really, as God is my witness, I wish you all the luck of my brother.
46:58Thank you, Marshal.
47:03Wouldn't it be nice to have a silky, urban voice like yours win Australian Idol for once?
47:08That would be quite remarkable.
47:09But you've already had a little taste of this business.
47:13You put yourself on hold for the good of your family.
47:16Maybe it's about time you had your shot.
47:19Good luck.
47:19Good luck tonight.
47:20Thank you, Kyle.
47:20Good luck.
47:25That was awesome.
47:26So good, Trey.
47:27Everyone, make some noise for Trey.
47:30And welcome back up here, Kesha.
47:37This is hard.
47:40This one is hard.
47:41All right.
47:43Kesha and Trey.
47:44It's been an absolute honor having you both in the competition.
47:50There's only one thing left to do.
47:54And that is to reveal which one is the third and final singer heading into the grand finale.
48:05So let's reveal the verdict.
48:10The last grand finalist confirmed for Australian Idol 2026 is...
