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 top six!
00:28But upon my heart, and as it fails, you rules 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 knew, 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 been.
00:58But I set fire to the rain, watching more as I turned your face.
01:06Let it burn while I cried, cause I heard it screaming out your name.
01:14When I lay with you, I could stay there, close my eyes.
01:23We're here forever, you and me together, nothing gets better.
01:30Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew.
01:35All the things you'd say they were never true, never true.
01:39In the games you played, you would always, would always win.
01:45But I set fire to the rain, watching more as I touched your face.
01:54When it burned while I cried, cause I heard it screaming out your name.
02:00Your name I set fire to the rain, and I could burst into the flames.
02:10When it burned while something died, cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time.
02:17I set fire to the rain, and I set fire.
02:26When it burned while something died, cause I knew that it's very, very, very fire.
02:39When it burned while something died, cause I knew that it's all right.
02:51Wow!
02:52What?
02:53And keep it going for your Australian Idol judges!
03:00Marsha Hines!
03:01And Amy Sharpe!
03:03So who's ready for a huge night?
03:08We have reached the final stretch of the competition and overnight you voted on who
03:13you want standing on the grand finale stage.
03:15A phenomenal number of votes came in for your top six and any one of them has the potential
03:22to win the title but unfortunately three will leave the competition tonight.
03:29I can confirm voting has closed and will begin revealing your verdict very soon.
03:35Last night delivered both tears and triumphs in equal measures as your top six took to
03:41the stage for their heroes.
03:42Here's a reminder of how it went down.
03:46Our final six idols dug deep with 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 than 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.
04:25I'll be there.
04:27I was choked up.
04:29All dads watching that want to be that sort of father that your dad is.
04:33I love you dad, thank you.
04:34Yeah.
04:37Yeah!
04:38Yeah!
04:38We were in our world.
04:40Making memories that will last forever.
04:43As long as you love me...
04:45That was a beautiful song, from the heart to your Nan.
04:49My favourite place was my Nan's house, and I just think you need to cherish those times,
04:56because that was beautiful, what you just did.
04:59I've been waiting my whole life for a moment like this, 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. I love that town so much.
05:14You've done them really proud.
05:19They left everything on the stage, rising to the moment when it mattered most.
05:28To get us in the palm of your hand, just incredible to watch.
05:34This is it, Australia. My whole life has gone all for this.
05:39I don't want to see anyone leave. If this wasn't a competition, they would all be superstars.
05:44I'm still standing.
05:45You voted.
05:46I'm so keen for it, I'm so hungry for it, and I really hope Australia likes what I've done.
05:50You decided.
05:52I'm hoping that Australia has sought my heart, seized my soul.
05:55Who will make?
05:56And I just want to get to the grand finale so bad.
06:00There's nothing that I want more.
06:01The grand finale.
06:03It would have been the absolute world to get through to the grand finale.
06:07So yeah, I'm praying.
06:12It was such an amazing night, and you can relive all of them right now on iTunes, Spotify, and Apple
06:18Music.
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.
06:27We 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.
06:46Kyle, in addition to the voting results, we also have an ARIA, Hall of Famer, and an all-round
06:53legend hitting the stage tonight, Ms. Marsha Hines is performing.
06:58How exciting is that?
07:01It's pretty exciting to watch Marsha do what she's been doing since she was
07:06born.
07:06It'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, but every person's record would
07:17be so different and unique and worth it.
07:20Yeah, they look like a super group.
07:21Yeah, and can we thank you guys while we're here for one of the best Australian idols we've ever had?
07:27Yes.
07:34Now, we know what our judges think of our idols, but we also love hearing from you,
07:38the critics at home, don't we, Scotty?
07:40We certainly do.
07:41I love looking at all the comments, particularly the ones that we shout in capital letters.
07:45They are my favorite on Facebook and Instagram.
07:47We look at all of them, but right now, Rosie Loves Kelpies on Instagram said she is hosting
07:53an idol watch 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.
08:16Okay.
08:16Yeah, 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
08:28Australian Idol grand finale.
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.
08:37But by the end of the show, only three will remain.
08:41So, Kesha, John and Harlan, how are you all feeling tonight?
08:45Yeah, you know, it's definitely a difficult night to see anyone go home
08:51or 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.
09:05And thank you, Idol, for this opportunity.
09:07I'm so excited.
09:09Very scared.
09:10But let's just rip the bandaid off.
09:13Well, it's really scary.
09:15Yeah.
09:15Yeah, above anything, far out.
09:18But 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.
09:34But 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.
09:46Because, 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.
10:06I mean, we all want to win.
10:07But, yeah, we've all come so far.
10:10And it's, I think, this is a life-changing experience for all of us.
10:14So we're all just stoked to be here.
10:16We've made lifelong friends.
10:17And, yeah, we've got Australia and the judges to thank.
10:21All righty.

18:48Good stuff.
18:49You are in the grand finale.
18:51We'll talk to you in just a second.
18:54I can't believe I am saying this.
18:57Unfortunately, John, that does mean you are out of the competition.
19:01You were so close.
19:05How are you feeling?
19:07Honestly, I've gotten this far.
19:08I expected nothing to come of this experience.
19:10And to be paired up with Harlan is the biggest compliment.
19:13He's seriously, I've learnt so much from him, this whole thing.
19:17Everything about my voice, I just go straight to Harlan.
19:21And so I've had the best experience, like the band, the lighting,
19:25just everything has been out of this world
19:28and I'm so happy for how far we've got.
19:34Judges, any words for Johnny Jukebox?
19:37Yes, John, you've been a pleasure.
19:39You've got such a nice message.
19:41You're a young man.
19:42You've got a lot of faith.
19:43You've got a lot of belief.
19:44And I think a lot of people are going to show up and pay tickets
19:47to see you anywhere you perform.
19:49Thank you so much.
19:52Yeah, we're going to really miss you, John.
19:55But you've done so well, man.
19:57And I would be hitting up so many DJs with that style
20:01because it's got real legs, man.
20:03You should go for it.
20:04And you said earlier, nothing much comes out of Bunbury.
20:09Well, look, Johnny did.
20:11Yeah.
20:12Thank you so much.
20:14Johnny, you are, as the judges said,
20:17from your first audition,

20:20and you really are such a positive energy around here
20:23and we really are going to miss you.

20:27Thank you so much for coming and supporting your boy.
20:30He is amazing.
20:31You've done incredibly well, Johnny.
20:33You should be really proud of yourself.
20:34Thank you so much.

21:06It's, yeah.
21:07I don't really think anyone can prepare you
21:10for this whole experience.
21:12Like, it was absolutely nothing like I expected
21:14and it's amazing.
21:15But I don't know, the only thing I can think of right now
21:18is just no matter what happens in the end,
21:21it's how you treat people behind closed doors.
21:23You can be amazing on the stage.
21:24It doesn't matter.
21:26It's who you are, you know?
21:28Yeah, that's what I said, Harlan.
21:30Hey, well, Mum and Dad,

50:19Kesha, what is going... No, stay here, stay here, stay here, stay here.
50:23Kesha, right now, what's going through your minds?
50:26Oh, I mean, far out, guys. Thank you, honestly, from the bottom of my heart. I'm always lost for words.
50:33It's like my beautiful family, my friends who show up every single week.
50:41I do this for them. You know, last week I did this for my dad and I do this for
50:44my friends and family just to, you know, give back what I can. So, thank you so much.
50:51It's a privilege, you know, to share the stage with Trey. It's a privilege. It's always a privilege, the band,
50:57the judges, everyone, you guys. Not with the ad break thing.
51:00I'm sorry about that. It was really fun, though.
51:04Absolute privilege.
51:05Likewise.
51:05Kesha, I've got some good news for you. You can go down to the lounge now. You can celebrate. Well
51:09done.
51:10Congratulations, girlfriend.

51:49Yeah, I just feel like I've grown a lot. I get to stand next to Ricky and Scotty every day.
51:53So, it's cool, man. And thank you to Australia for voting for me and my family and my beautiful wife.
52:00Yeah, I just feel very lucky.
52:04Judges, do you have any words for Trey?
52:06We'll see you somewhere, on some stage, shining bright. Go and kiss your girls.
52:12Absolutely.

52:13And get back in the studio.
52:14Yeah.
52:15Oh, yeah.
52:15Absolutely. Thank you.
52:18Trey, I'm really not supposed to have favourites, but you really have been one of my favourites from the start.
52:23You're such a star. Your voice is smooth and sexy and all the things, but you just deliver. And for
52:28all of us R&B girlies that love R&B, it's just been amazing to have you on the show.
52:33Yeah.
52:33Because I don't think we've ever had anyone like you. So, thank you for bringing that to this stage.
52:37That means a lot. Thank you.
52:38Yeah. Trey, you stole my mum's heart. So, well done for that, buddy. You're an amazing talent. We can't wait
52:45to follow you.
52:46Australia, if you're not following Trey already on social media, go and do that. Give it up one more time,
52:51everyone, for Trey.
