00:00:02Last time on Australian Idol.
00:00:05Let's get this party started!
00:00:07The competition ramped up to a whole new level.
00:00:12Jessie's just here for the show.
00:00:14As our Idol hopefuls played to a live audience
00:00:18backed by a live band for the very first time.
00:00:22And the crowd goes wild!
00:00:25Some revealed superstar potential.
00:00:28There it is! There it is!
00:00:32You give me goosebumps.
00:00:34I think you're an absolute superstar.
00:00:36Welcome to the top 21.
00:00:41But some of your favourites.
00:00:44There's still so much work to do.
00:00:47Struggled to shine.
00:00:49That's the worst I've seen.
00:00:51We're gonna put you on notice.
00:00:54Leaving Cody, Sophie, Harry and Vince on notice.
00:00:59And at risk of leaving the competition.
00:01:03Tonight...
00:01:04Everyone on their feet, let's go!
00:01:06The most sublime performances are still to come.
00:01:10Alright!
00:01:10One of the best voices I've ever heard.
00:01:13Oh! My girl!
00:01:14As our remaining Idol hopefuls sing for survival.
00:01:18Dream crusher, bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire!
00:01:25But not every singer will be celebrating.
00:01:29Your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:01:33It just wasn't where it needed to be.
00:01:36You're gonna be on notice.
00:01:37Oh!
00:01:39Guys, like, this is the toughest part.
00:01:46Three must go home.
00:01:48When I look at all these people on notice,
00:01:51I'm actually shocked at who is there.
00:01:54Australia, by the end of tonight,
00:01:57you'll have your top 21.
00:02:00We have to make some incredibly difficult decisions.
00:02:03Only the strongest will get to the top 21.
00:02:06But there's one final twist no one could have predicted.
00:02:10Two of you left and only one spot into the top 21.
00:02:15And we're still undecided.
00:02:17No!
00:02:29And first to take to the stage tonight
00:02:33is Perth bartender Harriet.
00:02:40I work as a bartender,
00:02:42but I don't want to work behind the bar.
00:02:45I want to work for stage.
00:02:46And she served up an audition to remember.
00:02:49the bar.
00:02:51Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:00Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:03It would be a privilege to have that voice in this contest.
00:03:07You're why this show exists.
00:03:09Talent like you.
00:03:11But now Harriet is feeling shaken by the competition.
00:03:16The talent in this competition is sort of beyond belief.
00:03:20It can be quite intimidating and scary.
00:03:22I think that I've been quite in my head about it.
00:03:27Since, you know, I was very little,
00:03:29I knew I wanted to be a performer.
00:03:32So, everything does ride on this performance.
00:03:35This next performance is a really huge one for me.
00:03:39I'm doing Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo,
00:03:42who is one of my all-time favourite artists.
00:03:45And I am taking vocal risks.
00:03:48I don't know about that run.
00:03:50It's not working.
00:03:51What?
00:03:52Which section?
00:03:53That one high bit at the end.
00:03:54It is a vocally challenging song,
00:03:56and if nerves come in,
00:03:57this could be the finish point for me.
00:04:01Harriet, how are you feeling?
00:04:03I'm a little bit nervous,
00:04:04but I'm just trying to reframe all of that nervous energy
00:04:07into excitement so that I can go and have a good time out there.
00:04:11How do you go with nerves?
00:04:13I...
00:04:14I feel like sometimes I shake a little bit.
00:04:17Once you step up to the microphone,
00:04:19just take that second to take a breath
00:04:21and to centre yourself.
00:04:22It's so important,
00:04:23because there's just so much going on,
00:04:25but just it's always so important
00:04:26to just get yourself centred when you get out there.
00:04:29Yeah.
00:04:53I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now.
00:04:57How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
00:05:00Just what you wanted.
00:05:03Look at you, cool guy, you got it.
00:05:07I see the parties and the diamonds,
00:05:09sometimes when I close my eyes,
00:05:11six months of torture your soul
00:05:12is some forbidden paradise.
00:05:14I loved you truly.
00:05:15You gotta laugh at the stupidity,
00:05:19cause I've made some real big mistakes.
00:05:23You made me look so naive,
00:05:26the way you sold me for parts,
00:05:30cause you sunk your teeth into me.
00:05:33Oh, blood sucker, dream crusher,
00:05:38bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:05:42I tried to help you out,
00:05:44now I know that I care,
00:05:45cause how you think's the kind of thing
00:05:47I'll never understand.
00:05:53I used to think I was smart,
00:05:57you made me look so naive,
00:06:01the way you sold me for parts,
00:06:05cause you sunk your teeth into me.
00:06:08Oh, blood sucker, dream crusher,
00:06:13bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:06:18Wow.
00:06:21Oh, wow.
00:06:23Oh, damn.
00:06:29Harriet, our bartender from WA.
00:06:33Yes.
00:06:34Well done.
00:06:35Thank you so much.
00:06:36Yeah, that was really cool,
00:06:38you know, like,

00:06:39and you did it.

00:06:56Like it was like watching a real professional at work.
00:06:57Well done.
00:06:58That was solid.
00:07:06I have to say that's one of the best voices I've ever heard on the show.
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:24Thank you so much.
00:07:41Thank you so much.
00:07:44That's a second.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51Harriet, you know, you're very solid in who you are.
00:07:55I love the way you present.
00:07:57I really dug your song choice and there's nothing more to be said
00:08:01except welcome to the top 20 I have.
00:08:04Thank you so much.
00:08:23I will through to the top 20 hun.
00:08:26It's kind of crazy, but it's good.
00:08:29All good things.
00:08:35Next to perform is 16 year old fifties fanatic, John.
00:08:40I am feeling a bit nervous.
00:08:44I've never sung for a crowd of this size before.
00:08:48So this is a huge step up.
00:08:53Well, it's one for the money, two for the show.
00:08:56Get ready now, go, get, go.
00:08:58I love my fifties kind of music.
00:09:01It's so upbeat and it's fun.
00:09:03And I feel really happy and have fun when I'm singing it.
00:09:12Well, you know you make me wanna kick my heels up.
00:09:16At his audition, John had the judges jiving at the desk.
00:09:24You know you make me wanna shout.
00:09:31I'm going to call you Johnny Jukebox.
00:09:34That's your new name.
00:09:36How exciting.
00:09:38John, how are you feeling?
00:09:39I'm very nervous.
00:09:40What are you singing?
00:09:41Johnny Be Good.
00:09:42Aw, yeah!
00:09:44Oh, you're going to have the best time.
00:09:45Good luck!
00:09:45Good luck, man.
00:10:18Good luck, man.
00:10:47Good luck, man.
00:11:15Good luck, man.
00:11:46How did that feel you feel good? It's fun. It is so much fun especially with this awesome band behind
00:11:50me. I
00:11:55Really love that. Yeah, I love checking out how the audience responds and they responded to you really well. Thank
00:12:01you
00:12:07Can I can I just say John your yeah your composure is um is really
00:12:12Inviting so um, thank you. I really really
00:12:16Happily enjoyed that. Thank you so much
00:12:27Johnny welcome to the top 21 baby
00:12:40Yes
00:12:42We got one
00:12:47Top 21 what a cool idea to sing go Johnny go
00:12:52After two
00:12:55unforgettable performances we got through
00:12:58Hopeful competing for a spot in the top 21 is ever
00:13:05At her audition ever did something completely original
00:13:10If you want us to choose which song you audition with yeah, but top 30 week has put her to
00:13:17the test
00:13:18Mama
00:13:18Told me not to waste my lap. There's so much going on in top 30 week. I feel like it
00:13:24was a lot more intense than expected
00:13:27Chorus line
00:13:27It was my first time without the guitar these wings were made to fly
00:13:32I didn't do too well
00:13:35So ever
00:13:36Jennifer you're on notice
00:13:38Being put on notice is scary. I do not want to be on notice again
00:13:49For my solo performance. I'm singing crush by Jennifer page. I brought my guitar up. Yes
00:13:56Only because it's a little bit of a comfort zone thing. I just want to see if it works at
00:14:00all with the band if it doesn't
00:14:01Then I'll just take it off and see how I go performing without it. I'm tossing up between
00:14:06Performing without a guitar and performing with my guitar. I find that performing with it really feels like home
00:14:19But it's also like a safety blanket and I don't want to like let that stop me from really performing
00:14:26Yeah, should I just get rid of it?
00:14:28I'll see how it goes
00:14:30I feel like I shouldn't
00:14:31Yeah, I just wanted to try anyway just in case. It's a massive risk not using my guitar
00:14:36But I feel like I need to prove myself. I need to show the judges that I can do both.
00:14:42I can perform without the guitar
00:14:45Being here at Idol means so much to me
00:14:49Yeah, it means everything to me
00:14:59This performance will either be a ticket to top 21 or a ticket home
00:15:07That feeling it's just it's nerve-wracking
00:15:19This performance will either be a ticket to top 21 or a ticket home
00:15:24That feeling it's just it's nerve-wracking
00:15:27It's just it's nerve-wracking
00:15:30I see you blowing me
00:15:36I guess it doesn't take a scientist to understand what's going on, baby
00:15:41If you see something in my eyelids, not overanalyze
00:15:46Don't go too deep in the middle, baby
00:15:49That's a pitch
00:15:50It's just a little crash
00:15:53It's just a little crash
00:15:54It's just a little crash
00:15:54Not like our face
00:15:55Every time we turn
00:15:57It's just
00:15:59Some little things
00:16:01Not like everything I do
00:16:04Depends on you
00:16:23It's just a little thing
00:16:27Not like our face
00:16:29Not like our face
00:16:30Every time we turn
00:16:31It's just
00:16:33Some little thing
00:16:35Not like our face
00:16:36Not like everything I do
00:16:38Depends on you
00:16:50So Eva
00:16:52You have a good voice
00:16:54And that wasn't terrible to watch
00:16:57But it wasn't polished
00:17:00the truth of the matter is you're up against the best of the best you know what I mean like
00:17:05yeah
00:17:05it's like you've got to come out there so damn confident oh and I don't want to even see a
00:17:11nerve
00:17:11yeah yeah yeah ever it was a bit pitchy you know it was a bit shaky there's a place for
00:17:19grounding
00:17:19as well so if you ever feel like you're getting a bit bumpy stay put ever a couple things I
00:17:29would
00:17:30just say watch your pitch and your intonation we need better than that give us a second
00:17:49okay ever like we said it just wasn't where it needed to be um and for that you're gonna be
00:18:00on
00:18:04notice guys this is like this is the toughest part this is you know what I mean you don't want
00:18:09to
00:18:09send her out into the big bad world being all shaky she's got to be good and this is gonna
00:18:13this is for
00:18:14the best it's because we want you to be great thank you yeah all right yeah you get booed a

00:19:16crowd
00:19:17everything I have I just love jumping around to music I would definitely be doing that when you

00:19:38balancing all this like energy and also like focusing on I'm actually a musician and I have
00:19:43to sing and like actually be good at what I do next up the pop-punk rocker Achille

00:21:15let's go
00:21:18ALANľAğim
00:21:36Achille, man, wow.
00:21:39I'm so happy that you're bringing this genre back into the lounge rooms of Australia, like,
00:21:44because I think everyone knows this is what I live for.
00:21:48I live for this pop-punk music.
00:21:50Thank you so much, Amy.
00:21:51No worries.
00:21:52But we do need to talk.
00:21:54Yeah, yeah.
00:21:55You are just a firecracker.
00:21:57You're such a personality.
00:21:59You know that pop-punk tone really well.
00:22:02You're a great guitarist.
00:22:04You're a great showman.
00:22:05You've got all these great, great, great things.
00:22:07But just then, you overcomplicated it for yourself.
00:22:10I think what happens is you start to lose breath.
00:22:14And that's when, you know, the melody gets lost and sometimes the lyrics in the story
00:22:20gets lost.
00:22:21I understand.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:22Then tell me what you understand.
00:22:24I think sometimes I get carried away with the performance and I just forget that I'm also
00:22:28here to sing and not just hype the crowd up.
00:22:32Honesty.
00:22:33I like it.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:38Okay.
00:22:39Just give us two seconds.
00:22:45Thank you guys so much.
00:22:47What do you think?
00:22:49You should do it.
00:22:50Like here.
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:52I think we should do it.
00:22:53Oh.
00:22:55Achille.
00:22:56My little pop-punk prince.
00:22:58Yes.
00:23:05We need to see more of you.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:08So we would like to welcome you to the top 20.
00:23:12Thank you guys.
00:23:17Oh my god.
00:23:19Oh my god.
00:23:20Hey.
00:23:20Hey.
00:23:21I've worked so hard to be here.
00:23:22You know, like doing something that's unique.
00:23:25I know.
00:23:25Trying to be myself, you know.
00:23:26Thank you guys so much.
00:23:40I made it.
00:23:46This is the first time I've ever cried from joy.
00:23:48Like, yeah.
00:23:49They were way too nice to me.
00:23:51Oh.
00:23:52Don't be serious.
00:23:53Like, this is the life I dream of.
00:23:54You know, being on stage.
00:23:55I know the things I need to work on and I'm gonna work hard work harder than anyone now it's
00:24:00like keep going on this journey, but
00:24:02I'm just so glad to be
00:24:05Stepping up next is Natalie. You ready? I'm ready. Yeah, I'm ready
00:24:10The tick-tock broom girl from the Gold Coast fans ready. You're ready. Let's go
00:24:53I'm so
00:25:01I
00:25:16How do you think you went? I think I went good
00:25:20I did fumble a bit at the start with the lyrics which I'm disappointed in myself for doing but
00:25:25Kept it going the show goes on tried to keep the vibes high so
00:25:29Yeah, happy with how I carried through regardless of the mistake
00:25:33That's the important thing about an artist if you mess up or you have a hiccup you must keep going
00:25:39and
00:25:39Find calm and balance through the chaos. That's just happened. Totally. Natalie, you've picked a lane that is the hardest
00:25:47lane
00:25:47It's a genre that unless executed at the highest level
00:25:52False. That definitely just didn't showcase
00:25:56Pop star
00:25:58Just yet
00:26:01Okay, let's we'll just have a quick
00:26:03We'll have excuse us. Thank you
00:26:05You're welcome
00:26:07Oh
00:26:07Oh
00:26:09Oh
00:26:09Oh
00:26:11Oh
00:26:11Oh
00:26:11Oh
00:26:11I don't really want to tell the change.
00:26:15Does that make sense?
00:26:18Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:27With the standard of singers that we have,
00:26:30the mess up at the beginning
00:26:31and taking everything into consideration,
00:26:35unfortunately, we are going to put you on notice.
00:26:39No, I get it.
00:26:42Thank you so much, guys.
00:26:44I don't want to hate these moments.
00:26:46I know you do.
00:26:48I need to keep going.
00:26:51Coming up...
00:26:52My biggest concern is not forget the lyrics.
00:26:55Will the pressure of the solo challenge...
00:26:58What happened?
00:26:59...push our contestants past their breaking point?
00:27:03A lot of your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:27:08I don't want to cry.
00:27:09And the shy forklift driver
00:27:12is about to be tested like never before.
00:27:15Thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit.
00:27:18It's making me anxious and it's making me overthink.
00:27:20I feel like I'm constantly at war with myself in my head.
00:27:23So that's been the hardest thing.
00:27:31Oh, Masha, you look divine, honestly.
00:27:33Oh, thank you.
00:27:35You know, my mother used to say to me,
00:27:37if a girl tells you you look nice, leave it.
00:27:39The solo challenge is where dreams are made or crushed.
00:27:44So our next singer is determined to claim her spot in the top 21.
00:27:49I've realised there is so much talent here and there's a lot of competition.
00:27:54The judges, they're not only looking for the vocals,
00:27:58but they're looking for the stage presence, the performance,
00:28:01like someone who can be an idol.
00:28:02And I think I've got that.
00:28:05If I want to make it to the top 21,
00:28:08I'm going to really have to prove myself.
00:28:10Good luck.
00:28:11Have fun.
00:28:14Next up, it's the 70s chick from the Gold Coast
00:28:17with a disco classic, Jamie.
00:28:33So I don't want to lose here
00:28:35This good thing
00:28:37That I've got
00:28:40Cause if I do

00:30:15I'm gonna be very honest and say a lot of your vocal gymnastics
00:30:21Didn't land, you know, you don't have to do that. Why start messing with something that doesn't need to be
00:30:27messed with
00:30:28Always go back to you know is it necessary you can sing it's very clear. We know that
00:30:35Just sing it straight up. You've got a great voice
00:30:39Okay, I think she might have done it to to claim
00:30:44It looked like you had something to prove
00:30:46Today at the start, you know, I really want to pay respect to the song cuz it's such an amazing
00:30:50song
00:30:51And so I tried to hold it back a little bit and then kind of take it home at the
00:30:55end
00:30:55So that was my goal with it just to let you know and I really wanted to prove myself cuz
00:30:59I I want to be here, you know

00:34:35Hi!
00:34:35The wiggity wiggity wiggity wiggity man!
00:34:40You know, I was looking around the room and we often do that as judges, we look around
00:34:45the room and see how the audience are engaging.
00:34:48Like your vibe, you were bringing it, you had spirit, you were rapping.
00:34:52The beginning got me, I think you were kind of like startled and then that kind of went
00:34:58to 100.
00:34:59Do you know what I mean?
00:35:01Did you?
00:35:01I don't know.
00:35:02Please tell me.
00:35:02How did you feel?
00:35:03Yeah, it was a bit nerve wracking.
00:35:05I just like missed the beat by accident.
00:35:08But then as soon as I hit the next line I was back in and I was just having the
00:35:10time
00:35:10of my life.
00:35:11Honestly.
00:35:12It was great.
00:35:16Let me tell you, I mean, I just came off a show with Snoop Dogg and there was a moment
00:35:26where my pack just literally went mute and I could not hear anything.
00:35:32This was in front of more than 100,000 people.
00:35:35What I had to do was watch him.
00:35:38That's so smart Jess.
00:35:39And just imagine that that was a song, don't get me wrong, I practiced.
00:35:45I made sure that I was prepared for anything to happen and in that moment I just had to
00:35:51keep going and you kept going.
00:35:56You were so ahead of the beat, like you really were rushing it.
00:36:03I felt you being like, okay, I've got the lyrics, yep, it's here, it's here, I just got
00:36:07to get it, get them out because you're always petrified of losing your lyrics, I know that.
00:36:15I don't know if you're there yet, to be honest.
00:36:22It's incredibly exciting to walk on stage and feel the madness of the crowd just push
00:36:28you up to places you never knew you could go, but in amongst all that madness, you've
00:36:33got to find a car.
00:36:37Please excuse us.
00:36:38Yes.
00:36:51You have so much potential and I just, I see it, I'm seeing the future of it.
00:37:07Asha, welcome to the top 20.
00:37:09Yes!
00:37:19Thank you guys so much.
00:37:21Thank you guys so much.
00:37:26Yes!
00:37:37Oh, I'm so relieved.
00:37:39I'm so relieved.
00:37:40I was under so much stress when I forgot that first line and that first line I was off beat.
00:37:44And then I was like I almost fainted I swear and then I managed to get it back and I'm
00:37:48just I
00:37:50Have no words on
00:38:01Next the singing skier steps up ready to deliver one of her most emotional
00:38:07performances yet
00:38:10That was gorgeous your voice is just something else
00:38:15Then
00:38:15They're putting a spin on a classic. I'm gonna be singing a love don't cost a thing
00:38:21But I'm gonna be elite for buying it. I'm singing a little song called Thriller
00:38:26Is it a big risk? I get what you did, but I kind of wish you had or a big
00:38:33reward
00:38:33Welcome to the top 21
00:38:43Top 30 week is tough
00:38:46Brutal and for some the solo performance is the last chance to convince the judges they belong in the top
00:38:5321
00:38:56The top 30 week is pretty intense
00:38:59I'm definitely feeling the pressure especially because I got a golden ticket in the room at the audition
00:39:03But you're only as good as your last performance
00:39:08And Lockie's last performance disappointed
00:39:12That was one of the worst
00:39:14Group performances I have ever seen
00:39:17I was put on notice. I definitely hope that my solo performance is my redemption
00:39:22I'm not afraid to take risks if it means a spot in that top 21
00:39:26Good look
00:39:28Look at this look. Oh my god. I think alike
00:39:30You guys are winning. It's a yes for me
00:39:33Go straight to the top 21. Let's go. What are you gonna be singing?
00:39:37I'm singing a little song called Thriller
00:39:40It's a bit more of a like modern modern twist on it, so I'm excited to yeah present that for
00:39:45the judges
00:39:46Wow, I can't wait to see where you take this song. Are you ready to go?
00:39:49Because I think they're almost ready for you, okay
00:40:10It's close to midnight
00:40:13There's something else lurking in the dark
00:40:19Under the moonlight
00:40:22You see a sight that almost tops your heart
00:40:26You try to speak
00:40:28The terror takes the sound before you make it
00:40:35You start to freeze
00:40:37The hyperluxure and between the eyes
00:40:41You're paralyzed
00:40:47Thriller
00:40:49Thriller night
00:40:50No one's gonna save you from the beast about to try
00:40:55Thriller
00:40:58Thriller night
00:40:59You start to work alive inside a killer
00:41:03Thriller tonight
00:41:15Lucky
00:41:15You know you heard that song
00:41:23You can't touch this
00:41:26Michael Jackson the genius
00:41:29Sometimes when you know a song so well
00:41:32Your head just won't take you to the other place
00:41:35But creatively I get what you what you did
00:41:40But I kind of wish you hadn't
00:41:42No, I'm only telling the truth
00:41:47Loughlin you're a dancer who really wants to sing and I get it and you can sing
00:41:52But that was really fraught with danger with what you just did then
00:41:57Yeah, no, definitely it is like such an iconic song and I'm such a big fan of Michael Jackson and
00:42:01that song in particular
00:42:02So yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from absolutely and I think
00:42:06Maybe because I'm such a big fan of that song. That's why I wanted to perform it
00:42:09But yeah, I absolutely see what you're saying for sure
00:42:13Lucky
00:42:15That song is so technical, you know
00:42:18And if you're going to do a technical song you will you really want to hit those points because it's
00:42:22so people are so familiar with it
00:42:24It was just very left field
00:42:28Yeah vocally it didn't cut through and that was just the wrong song
00:42:32Thank you. Thank you appreciate that
00:42:36It's so, you know, it's so difficult, you're in danger though, you know what I mean it's like it becomes
00:42:41danger and risky
00:42:45So Loughlin, you know
00:42:49It's an unfortunate thing, but you are now put on notice
00:42:55Thank you
00:43:03I've been put on notice it's a little bit disappointing um being put on notice again two days in a
00:43:10row
00:43:12You have all those like voices in the back of your head saying like do I really deserve to be
00:43:16here?
00:43:17I don't think top 30 week has really shown the best to me at all
00:43:21I'd definitely love to be given another chance. We're not ready to go home yet
00:43:27Next up is Kesha the singing skier from Jindaby who's hoping to somersault straight into your top 21
00:43:42My first composition was on Jindy Idol
00:43:48It's a bit bigger than Jindy Idol, but this opportunity is just unreal. It's really cool. This is a world
00:43:54away from where you've come from
00:43:55How's it feel? Yeah, cool
00:43:57It's all the seats. Yeah, this will be all very full mosh pits
00:44:03Mosh pits
00:44:06It's pretty cool to be here let alone singing like on a stage with you know
00:44:11Hectic band and all the lights and the seats and there's a lot of people that can fill up that
00:44:17space
00:44:19And that's where the judges will be perfect. I'm doing a bit more of a kind of ballady type songs,
00:44:24so
00:44:25Hope I don't bore the judges and the audience members
00:44:29With that so if I can really connect to them on the air storytellers level and that'll be that'll be
00:44:34really cool achievement
00:44:35So yeah fingers toes crossed
00:44:38Okay
00:44:42Give it up for Kesha
00:45:05I can't write one song
00:45:08It's not about you can't drink without thinking about you
00:45:15Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you
00:45:23I'm in Toronto and I've got this view
00:45:27But I might as well be in a hotel room
00:45:33It doesn't matter cause I'm so consumed
00:45:37Spending all my nights reading takes from you
00:45:41And oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
00:45:46I know
00:45:47I know
00:45:48You're the feeling I'm missing
00:45:50You know
00:45:52I hate to admit it
00:45:55But everything means nothing if I can't have you
00:45:59Oh
00:46:01I can't write one song that's not about you
00:46:07Can't drink without thinking about you
00:46:12Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you
00:46:20Everything means nothing if I can't have you
00:46:40Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you
00:46:41Thank you
00:46:48Wow
00:46:50Kesha our skier from the snowy mountains
00:46:54That was gorgeous
00:46:56I mean
00:46:58It's not very often I watch someone and I think to myself wow that could be your song
00:47:02I was just lost in it
00:47:04Yeah
00:47:04Thank you so much
00:47:05Thank you
00:47:10Kesha I'm quite aware that you gig

00:47:14Oh I love singing with a band
00:47:16I just I love sharing the stage with other musicians
00:47:20It's the coolest feeling ever
00:47:22It's so cool and having everyone here is just like unreal
00:47:25It's awesome
00:47:32Your voice is just yeah it is it is something else it's like
00:47:36It's crackly and it's like it's emotional
00:47:39Yeah I cannot fault anything

00:48:04She's cool man
00:48:06Oh here we go
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:15As Kesha celebrates
00:48:18Our next performer is determined to put her top 30 week struggles behind her
00:48:24And continue on her idol journey
00:48:27Alita I wrote looks great sounds great boring
00:48:30In the group challenge Amy mentioned that I didn't stand out
00:48:35Although there were moments in that I feel like it was the Jamie show
00:48:40You're all going to be on notice
00:48:42If I'm put on notice again I'll be getting sent home so this is so intense
00:48:49This has been my dream so I'm not going to give up anytime soon
00:48:55I'm going to have to do whatever I can do to stand out
00:48:58I've done a little tweaking to see how it goes
00:49:01Yeah you've got to make it your own for sure
00:49:04For the solo challenge I'm going to be singing Love Don't Cost A Thing by JLo
00:49:08But I'm going to be Alitifying it
00:49:12I'm going to make little changes to the melody
00:49:16Bringing Alita into the song
00:49:19I know you've changed up the verse melody
00:49:21I think that you need to find a halfway point
00:49:25Just work on that first verse in terms of melody
00:49:27Yeah
00:49:28Okay
00:49:28Yes
00:49:31I need to take that risk
00:49:33I'm just going to put everything into it
00:49:35To stand out
00:49:42When you were to pitch the escalate
00:49:45Saw the W gate to the valley
00:49:47Do that it was scary
00:49:48When you look for me
00:49:49Pulling up his hips
00:49:51So I could see a holy flame
00:49:52Stay laden in the corner booth
00:49:54Raising up a toe
00:49:55So I would notice you
00:49:57But you're out there
00:49:58You think you're out of no
00:49:59Doesn't matter if you're pulling out of control
00:50:01All that fantasies
00:50:03That you're dreaming right
00:50:05Give me all the things
00:50:07I need
00:50:08That money in my head
00:50:11Think you've got to keep me out
00:50:13You don't think I'm going to spend your cash
00:50:30What happened?
00:50:31I think I felt good there
00:50:33I felt like I was vibing with the crowd
00:50:36And I just gave it my all
00:50:38My energy
00:50:38It was feeling good
00:50:40Okay
00:50:42Because it didn't sound as if you'd found the note
00:50:46In the beginning
00:50:47You got it in the end
00:50:49But the beginning of the song
00:50:50It sounded like two totally different sounds
00:50:53Yeah I thought you might have lost the lyrics
00:50:54For a second
00:50:55Do you know that you did that?
00:50:58I mean I thought I was on um
00:51:01Like pitch
00:51:02But maybe I was wrong
00:51:04To lose it and not know
00:51:05That's a worry
00:51:07Yeah
00:51:09Anyway we're going to have a chat
00:51:10About it
00:51:23Um
00:51:26At this point in time
00:51:27I have to be very honest
00:51:28I have to put you on notice
00:51:31Okay

00:51:33But it is what it is

00:52:22You kind of don't know where you fit
00:52:24That will melt your heart
00:52:27I've been denied so many opportunities because I'm different
00:52:30The fact that I'm here right now
00:52:32And this is really really really special
00:52:36Then for the singers on notice
00:52:39The judges have a massive twist
00:52:42We have decided that it's time for
00:52:48No
00:52:55With eight performers on notice and facing elimination from the competition
00:53:01Tonight's final singer is forklift driver Jacinta
00:53:05Whose unique voice caught the judge's attention
00:53:17It's a cool voice it's really cool it's really authentic and different
00:53:22You just are you which is the trick
00:53:26Just had a lot of rejection and a lot of no so this means a lot
00:53:31To have made it this far has already been such a blessing
00:53:35Is that a golden ticket?
00:53:37I think to make the top 21 would be really special
00:53:45The biggest challenge has been my confidence
00:53:47I just I really struggled to back myself
00:53:52Yeah I feel like I know it but I'm scared I'm gonna miss it
00:53:55Did I? Okay maybe I got it and I'm just in my head
00:53:58I know that there's an immense amount of pressure coming with this solo performance
00:54:03Being in the theatre seeing all the seats knowing they're all going to be filmed
00:54:06Is a bit daunting
00:54:10Thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit
00:54:12It's making me anxious and it's making me overthink
00:54:15I feel like I'm constantly at war with myself in my head
00:54:18I've had more doors closed than open and so I really yeah hid in the shadows really
00:54:25Pushed myself back got in my little box opportunities like this don't come around
00:54:30Often especially for people like me
00:54:36Coming into the solo challenge I really want to prove that I can back myself I can be confident
00:54:43I can own a stage and own a moment and not hide away from it
00:54:49If I'm not supporting myself or rooting for myself how can I expect anyone else to do that?
00:54:53Thank you
00:55:30Oh, I really feel that I'm illusion, my best friend.
00:55:40I can't believe this could be the end.
00:55:46It looks so slow, you're letting go.
00:55:52And if it's real, then I don't want to know.
00:55:58Don't speak, I know just what you're saying, so please stop explaining.
00:56:06Don't tell me cause it hurts.
00:56:11Don't speak, I know what you're thinking, I don't need a reason.
00:56:19Don't tell me cause it hurts.
00:56:25I know what you're thinking, I don't need a reason.
00:56:32Don't tell me cause it hurts.
00:56:50Oh, God.
00:56:51Oh, Jacinta, our forklift driver from Victoria.
00:56:56Yeah.
00:56:57She's our forklift driver.
00:56:59You, honestly, that haunting voice is so gorgeous.
00:57:04And I actually, everyone's like, oh, we'd love to see Jacinta when we do the big glow-ups
00:57:10and like, you know, we get to that stage and stuff.
00:57:12But I kind of like that you dress like Kurt Cobain.
00:57:14I think it's sick.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:16Um, your voice is so, like, it's so fragile.
00:57:22Mm, yep.
00:57:23It's a real niche sound and I love it, but I do wonder where it's going to go.
00:57:30I've been denied so many opportunities because I'm different and I don't really fit anywhere.
00:57:36Um, so the fact that I'm here right now and you're listening to me and giving me the time
00:57:40is, is really, really, really special.
00:57:46Um, I think inside you there's, there's just fire.
00:57:55You know, I think each time you step out and we give you an opportunity, you, you do rise
00:58:00and you light up.
00:58:01You kind of don't know where you fit.
00:58:03You fit just right.
00:58:04My girl.
00:58:06Yeah, it's way cooler not fitting in.
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:08Way cooler.
00:58:09Yeah, for sure.
00:58:11All right, give us two seconds.
00:58:18Yeah.
00:58:23Um.
00:58:26When you said I don't fit anywhere, my heart really hurt because it actually took me so long
00:58:32to find my place as well and it's unbelievable what music can do because the second I was
00:58:43launched into it, I'm like, oh my God, I found my people.
00:58:46I can see that that's, that's going to happen to you eventually.
00:58:51It's going to open so many doors for you and, um, we would like to open the door of welcoming
00:58:57you to the top 21.
00:59:00Oh my gosh, thank you so much.

00:59:46every performance I'm slowly just getting more and more confident more myself just more sure
00:59:51myself the judges have seen all of the solo performances and now they must decide who
01:00:06will be eliminated from the competition eight singers have been put on notice and
01:00:15for three of them their idle journey will end tonight this has been tough it's been full of
01:00:24surprises when I look at all these people on notice I'm actually shocked at who is there
01:00:29so I've got to be really honest I cannot believe that he's on the board because I yes I expected
01:00:36so much yes also she was really cool I know yeah as soon as she walked out I was like
