00:00:00The wait is over. Top 12 week has arrived.
00:00:05Australia, now it's your turn. You vote, you decide.
00:00:09This is...
00:00:11Australia!
00:00:28Hello, I'm Ricky Lee. And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:31And there is an epic live audience in the house tonight.
00:00:34Make some noise!
00:00:39Wow!
00:00:41Alright, this week the Top 12 take to the stage with iconic songs from the movies as they compete for
00:00:47your votes.
00:00:48Brace yourself for blockbuster bangers and award-winning performances that you simply cannot miss.
00:00:54But before this movie starts, let's roll out the red carpet for your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:08Cole Sandelers!
00:01:11Marta Hines!
00:01:13And Amy Shaw!
00:01:21Good evening, Scotty. Pretty in pink.
00:01:24Ricky Lee, here we go.
00:01:26You and me in pink tonight.
00:01:43Good evening, judges.
00:01:45Hi there.
00:01:46Good evening.
00:01:46Alright, so tonight you will see the first half of your Top 12 perform for your votes.
00:01:52Tomorrow night the remaining six idols will take to the stage.
00:01:55Then, on Tuesday, we are live with our Top 12 verdict show where one singer from each night will go
00:02:05home.
00:02:06Up until this point, our judges have had the difficult task of narrowing down thousands of singers.
00:02:12But that ends now.
00:02:15Starting this very moment, the power is in your hands as voting is officially open for tonight's idols.
00:02:22They are...
00:02:23Perth's soul man with the trademark beanie, Charlie.
00:02:26CHEERING
00:02:28Northern Rivers country singer, Lily Grace.
00:02:32And Central Coast landscaper, Kalani.
00:02:37CHEERING
00:02:38And the barber from Ballarat, Harry.
00:02:42CHEERING
00:02:44Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella.
00:02:48CHEERING
00:02:50And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta.
00:02:54CHEERING
00:02:57Now remember, you are in the director's seat and will decide which of our singers make it to the Top
00:03:0310.
00:03:04To vote, simply text the name of your favourite idol to the number on the screen.
00:03:08Thanks to the all-new Jaku, J5, Eevee powering electric idol performances.
00:03:15You can vote up to ten times per number or use them all on one idol or you can share
00:03:20the votes around.
00:03:21It is up to you.
00:03:22But voting closes tomorrow at 7pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
00:03:26Now, don't forget, after tonight's performances, the judges will save just one singer from the public vote, putting them straight
00:03:35through to the Top 10.
00:03:36They are facing an enormous decision because this year's talent is truly next level.
00:03:43Amy, voting is officially open, can you believe it?
00:03:48In a cast of unforgettable talent, what can our idols do to stand out as main characters tonight?
00:03:55Well, I think they need to feel like the main character.
00:03:57I mean, they've already made it to the Top 12, which is incredible, and what a night to do it.
00:04:02They've got the sets, the band, they look amazing, so they've just got to feel like the main character, I
00:04:07think.
00:04:07Yeah, 100%. And Marsha, we're expecting big movie anthems tonight.
00:04:13Will you expect our idols to match the original? You want them to make it their own?
00:04:17Well, I think they can't match it, but they can take it to another level.
00:04:22And, you know, like we're saying in the very beginning, we have travelled the whole country to look for singers
00:04:27like this.
00:04:28It is now up to Australia to vote.
00:04:32So, you see somebody you dig, you make sure you vote for them, because if you don't, they can vote
00:04:38it out.
00:04:40Sure words never spoken, Marsha.
00:04:42I know it's true, right?
00:04:42Now, Kyle, are you prepared for cinematic moments and maybe even a few plot twists?
00:04:49I love a plot twist.
00:04:50I know you do.
00:04:51You two wearing pink and purple is giving me bad flashbacks.
00:04:56I spent an hour and a half with my Aunty Jill.
00:04:59She was at Garden City RSL with her friends, talking about the contestants and no one knows who's going to
00:05:06win.
00:05:07And normally by now, we've got an idea if we like one or two.
00:05:09It went on and on.
00:05:11And those women, big fans of all of you guys, good luck tonight.
00:05:14Anyone can still win this right at the beginning.
00:05:17So, best of luck everyone.
00:05:19Alright.
00:05:20Yes.
00:05:21100%.
00:05:22Well, on that note, it's lights, camera, action for our first singer of the night.
00:05:28I felt a bit Formula One there, I got a bit excited.
00:05:30He's the beanie wearing soul man who's loving life in the top 12 fast lane.
00:05:35From Perth in Western Australia, this is Charlie.
00:05:47Movie week, let's go.
00:05:49Life is so different here in the top 12.
00:05:52It's like I should start identifying as a movie star.
00:05:55It is fast paced, doing things all the time.
00:05:58We're doing photo shoots, rehearsals, makeup, wardrobe, hair for the other contestants.
00:06:04It's so different to life back in Perth.
00:06:06Hello.
00:06:07Hey Charlie.
00:06:09Top 12, welcome.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:13Let's talk about it.
00:06:14Let's talk about it.
00:06:14You got through, but now it's Australia voting.
00:06:18Crazy.
00:06:18So the pressure's on.
00:06:19Oh, oh yeah.
00:06:20Big time.
00:06:21You can feel like that pressure just creeping in man.
00:06:24Things, things are getting real.
00:06:25So it's movie week.
00:06:27What song you sing?
00:06:28My Girl by The Temptations.
00:06:30Bit of, bit of a size check?
00:06:31Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
00:06:33I won't, I won't match, I won't match you on that.
00:06:36Can't wait to hear it.
00:06:37Let's do it.
00:06:38Cool.
00:06:39I think the movie to me is remembered for the expression of young love and how beautiful
00:06:45that can be.
00:06:45I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:06:53I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:07:08There's that key change happening just after here.
00:07:11Yeah, the key change.
00:07:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:12Felt a bit like you were unsure of yourself.
00:07:14Yeah, a little.
00:07:15We're trying to, trying to work out the notes.
00:07:17Yeah.
00:07:17So you have to kind of really be on point.
00:07:19Singers tend to just like scoop and let me fly that out.
00:07:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:23But we want like clear steps.
00:07:26It's a big worry to have something like a key change in your performance that you have
00:07:31to nail, especially in front of the nation.
00:07:35There's no room for slip ups, no room for mistakes.
00:07:38If I don't land the key change, it could really fall flat on its face.
00:07:43And that means I can go home.
00:07:51I got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:08:00When it's cold outside, I got the month of May.
00:08:08Yeah, come on.
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:10I guess you'll say
00:08:16What can make me feel this way?
00:08:20It's my girl.
00:08:21My girl.
00:08:23My girl.
00:08:41Oh, I got a sweeter song
00:08:45Than the birds in the trees
00:08:48Oh, yeah, it's for me, yeah
00:08:51I guess you would say
00:08:56What can make me feel this way?
00:09:01It's my girl, my girl
00:09:04I'm talking about my girl, my girl
00:09:08Hey, yeah
00:09:11I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
00:09:17I even got the month of May
00:09:21I'm talking about my girl, talking about my girl
00:09:27Only my girl can make me feel this way
00:09:33This way
00:09:38I'm talking about my girl
00:10:05Oh, Charlie, what a great song for you
00:10:07It's a great song, classic, a classic
00:10:09I mean, I remember when that came out
00:10:11When I was a little girl
00:10:13And I was born in the month of May
00:10:14So it was just always something that was sung in our house
00:10:17It just took me back to great memories
00:10:18And your spin on that, wow
00:10:21Like, talk about main character energy
00:10:23Oozing out of everywhere
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch
00:10:28Oh, thank you
00:10:29Thank you
00:10:29You just got such an authentic sound
00:10:31I love it
00:10:32Thank you very much
00:10:33Thank you so much
00:10:39You know, Charlie, were you singing that for your girl?
00:10:41Yes, I was
00:10:42I felt that
00:10:43Yeah
00:10:43That was really lovely
00:10:44You know, you sing and you sing
00:10:46And then you plot as you go
00:10:48But I'm always very interested to hear how you end a song
00:10:53And that was really cool
00:10:54Well done, Charlie
00:10:55Oh, thank you so much
00:10:56Thank you so much
00:11:00Yeah, Charlie, everyone looks forward to seeing you
00:11:03Because you make it so effortless
00:11:05And it feels like you've been doing this your entire life
00:11:08You make every song that everyone knows
00:11:10They can sing along to it
00:11:11But you give it your own Charlie spin
00:11:13It seems to work every single time
00:11:16Don't change
00:11:17Well, thank you, Carl
00:11:17Thank you so much, mate
00:11:18Thank you
00:11:22Oh, Charlie
00:11:24That was so cool
00:11:26I love that song so much
00:11:27I love that movie, My Girl
00:11:29What a classic
00:11:30You killed it
00:11:32How was that for you?
00:11:33It was incredible
00:11:34You know, incredible to dedicate this to my partner
00:11:36Who's watching at home
00:11:37And it just means so much, you know
00:11:39You can tell
00:11:39You can tell that every time you sing
00:11:41You sing with your whole heart
00:11:43Now, Charlie, we saw in your video
00:11:45That your life has totally changed
00:11:47Being in the top 12
00:11:48Photo shoots, interviews
00:11:50Are you loving this new life?
00:11:52It's crazy, but incredible
00:11:54I'm so happy to be a part of it
00:11:56We're so happy to have you
00:11:57Now, Charlie, I have been loving

00:12:13Beanie-gate, the dancing
00:12:14So funny
00:12:15If you haven't followed our idols on social media
00:12:18You have to do it
00:12:18Go check them out
00:12:19All right, Australia

00:12:26Text Charlie to 0457-500-700 right now
00:12:33Make some noise for Charlie
00:12:34Thank you very much
00:12:35Thank you
00:12:39Okay, what a way to kick off movie week
00:12:42And it's time to cue the next scene
00:12:44She has chosen a song from the iconic movie
00:12:47The Devil Wears Prada
00:12:48From the northern rivers of New South Wales
00:12:51It's our country gal
00:12:53Lily Grace
00:13:00The top 12 is great
00:13:01We're here
00:13:02I made it
00:13:02I can't
00:13:03I mean, I can't believe it
00:13:04Because I'm here
00:13:04But I also can't believe it
00:13:08I'm just a small-town girl
00:13:10And being in the big city
00:13:11Is a huge change for me
00:13:13It's really exciting
00:13:15Because a career in music
00:13:16Is what I've always wanted
00:13:17So being here
00:13:19And being in the top 12
00:13:20Is like a dream come true
00:13:22It is movie week
00:13:24And I'm singing Suddenly I See
00:13:26By Katie Tunstall
00:13:27From Devil Wears Prada
00:13:28She's a Grammy-nominated singer
00:13:30And like me
00:13:31She comes from a small town
00:13:32And I've actually been lucky enough
00:13:35To organise a little Zoom chat
00:13:37With Katie herself
00:13:38Hello
00:13:39How are you?
00:13:40Hi, Grace
00:13:42How are you?
00:13:44Oh my goodness
00:13:44I'm so excited to talk to you
00:13:47To me, I'm excited to talk to you
00:13:48I know that you
00:13:50You come from a little town as well
00:13:51And so do I
00:13:52I mean, I'm a long way from home
00:13:54I'm like a 10-hour drive from home
00:13:55And I feel like
00:13:56I'm so glad that I have this song
00:13:58You know, because
00:13:58The way that I have somewhat
00:14:00Connected with it is
00:14:02Sometimes you do have to make sacrifices
00:14:04To be, you know
00:14:06Like to chase your dreams
00:14:07And I feel like this song
00:14:08Kind of also saying
00:14:09You know, this is what I have to do
00:14:10And this is what I want to do
00:14:11You're in a moment that could change the course of your future
00:14:15But what I will definitely give you some advice about
00:14:17It's always really good
00:14:19To find someone in the crowd
00:14:21Who's having a really good time
00:14:23And actually properly look at them
00:14:25If you really have a minute
00:14:28With one person who's looking at you
00:14:31You have a real human moment
00:14:33Yeah, I love that
00:14:34I definitely think that's something
00:14:35I have to work on a little bit
00:14:36Thank you so much
00:14:38Your advice is actually
00:14:39It's been amazing
00:14:43After speaking to Katie
00:14:44I feel like it's just given me
00:14:46That little bit of edge
00:14:47I want to keep going in this competition
00:14:49I know what I want
00:14:50I know what I want to do
00:14:51And I want to be in top ten
00:14:54Top ten's calling
00:15:09And you can see
00:15:10She's a beautiful girl
00:15:11She's a beautiful girl
00:15:14And everything around her
00:15:16Is a silver pool of life
00:15:18The people who surround her
00:15:21Feel the benefit of it
00:15:23It makes you calm
00:15:25She holds you captivated in her palm
00:15:29Suddenly I see
00:15:32This is what I want to be
00:15:35Suddenly I see
00:15:37Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:42This is what I want to be
00:15:44Suddenly I see
00:15:47Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:54Well I feel like walking the world
00:15:56Like walking the world
00:15:58And you can see
00:16:00And you can see
00:16:00She's a beautiful girl
00:16:01She's a beautiful girl
00:16:03She fills up every corner
00:16:06Like she's warm
00:16:07Like in white
00:16:08Makes you feel warmer
00:16:11And you're trying to remember
00:16:13And you're trying to remember
00:16:13What you heard
00:16:15She rocks the leaf
00:16:17You're hanging on her word
00:16:19Come on
00:16:20Suddenly I see
00:16:21This is what I want to be
00:16:25Suddenly I see
00:16:27Why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:31Suddenly I see
00:16:37Suddenly I see
00:16:38Why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:40Suddenly I see
00:16:47Why the hell it means so much
00:16:49Why the hell it means so much to me
00:17:06Great song choice, darling.
00:17:09You're welcome.
00:17:10You know, I mean, you're so far away up on a podium like that.
00:17:14But everything's settled when you walk down here
00:17:18and you saw the kids and the kids gave you that energy.
00:17:22It's all about the energy and you gave them the love, didn't you?
00:17:26Thanks, guys.
00:17:28Yeah, hi.
00:17:32That is so truly what it's all about, honey.
00:17:36Your voice is fine.
00:17:37Your guitar playing is fine.
00:17:38You've got to try and find some confidence
00:17:40in the performance side of things, okay?
00:17:43I think you did a great job.
00:17:44Thank you so much.
00:17:45You're welcome.
00:17:46You're welcome.
00:17:49I thought you did great, too.
00:17:51I mean, it was really good advice from KT
00:17:53because it's that human element
00:17:56that's really hard to find when you're performing,
00:17:59especially when you're elevated.
00:18:00As soon as I'm anywhere where there's steps involved,
00:18:03it's like it's in the back of your head, right?
00:18:06You're just like, oh, my God, okay, the steps are coming up.
00:18:08And it's really hard to, like...
00:18:11Oh, girl, I thought I was going to fold it.
00:18:12Oh, honey, we know.
00:18:13We know.
00:18:14That's what I mean.
00:18:14You did so well.
00:18:15Yeah, we know.
00:18:15Like, considering this is all new to you,
00:18:18that was such a slick performance.
00:18:20Yeah, great song.
00:18:22You still brought it to life.
00:18:24Glad the hat's back.
00:18:26Yeah, you should be really proud of that.
00:18:28Thank you so much, Amy.
00:18:29I really appreciate that.
00:18:36You're 18,
00:18:36so I'm pretty sure you can manage up and down the stairs fine.
00:18:39My three-and-a-half-year-old...
00:18:40Have you seen those heels?
00:18:41He's up and down the stairs pretty good.
00:18:43By 18, you can pretty much...
00:18:44I've seen chicks running down cobblestone roads in Europe.
00:18:48That's because they're running from you.
00:18:49No.
00:18:50They're walking.
00:18:52Now, Lily Grace.
00:18:55Great song choice.
00:18:56You didn't feel like you enjoyed it until about halfway through.
00:18:59Am I sensing something there?
00:19:01Could you hear yourself well?
00:19:03You just didn't seem to be enjoying it
00:19:05until you did step off the stage.
00:19:07Yeah, no.
00:19:08I think I was just...
00:19:09I mean, I was enjoying it.
00:19:10I was.
00:19:10There was just a lot to think about.
00:19:12You know, there's a lot going on.
00:19:12That's like what I said.
00:19:13Yeah, sing the song.
00:19:14Step, step, step.
00:19:15Oh, I've enjoyed the song.
00:19:16Oh, Jesus.
00:19:17Step, step, step.
00:19:17But it's just walking down steps.
00:19:19Kyle, actually...
00:19:20It's in high heels, Kyle.
00:19:22It's in high heels.
00:19:23I've walked down steps in high heels myself.
00:19:25I know you have.
00:19:27Now, sure, it's more of a private situation.
00:19:29I can't unsee it.
00:19:30I'll just get it out of there.
00:19:31And they weren't that well-fitting either.
00:19:33Like, that ugly stepsister, you know.
00:19:35Popping around.
00:19:35Oh, it's my...
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:36Anyway.
00:19:37You did great.
00:19:38But the song is perfect for you
00:19:40because you're always happy and uplifting.
00:19:42But I just didn't feel that you were happy
00:19:44until halfway through.
00:19:45But I still loved it.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:46Still very energetic.
00:19:48Enjoyable.
00:19:53Lily Grace, how are you feeling?
00:19:55I can see that you're not on top of the world right now.
00:19:59No, I'm okay.
00:20:00I am...
00:20:01No, tonight, you know, I will just say
00:20:02in preparation for this week,
00:20:04I did lose someone very special to me.
00:20:06I'm so sorry.
00:20:07My beautiful Auntie Lisa.
00:20:08And tonight, I was just...
00:20:09I had that in my head.
00:20:10And this was for her, you know.
00:20:12Whatever happens going forward, you know,
00:20:14I just wanted to make her proud.
00:20:15And I really hope I did that tonight.
00:20:17So that was what this performance was for.
00:20:21Give me a hug in your hand.
00:20:22Just give me a six, yeah.
00:20:25That's not easy.
00:20:26That is...
00:20:27Forget the stairs and forget the heels.
00:20:29That's not easy to do what you did tonight.
00:20:30So you did an incredible job considering...
00:20:32Thank you, sir.
00:20:33Um, Lily Grace, the original singer of that song,
00:20:36Katie Tunstall,
00:20:37gave you some incredible words of wisdom
00:20:39in the lead-up to tonight.
00:20:41What was that like, being able to talk with her
00:20:43and speak to the person whose song
00:20:45you were singing on this stage?
00:20:46Yeah, you know, honestly, it was amazing.
00:20:48She was so kind of down-to-earth,
00:20:50and it felt like...
00:20:51It kind of just felt like I was catching up
00:20:52with an old friend, which is like...
00:20:54You know, when you're meeting people
00:20:55that are so successful and have had such amazing careers,
00:20:57it's not always like that, you know?
00:20:58It's like, oh, it's kind of scary.
00:20:59But I sat down and just like,
00:21:01oh, you know, how are you going?
00:21:02Like, I'm in Scotland.
00:21:04Yeah, we were just...
00:21:05We had a great yarn,
00:21:06and it was really great to talk to her.
00:21:07Amazing.
00:21:08Well, that was, like, the perfect song for you.
00:21:10Katie Tunstall is touring Australia in May.
00:21:12She is absolutely fantastic.
00:21:14Go and look her up and get your tickets right now.
00:21:18And if you want to see Lily Grace sing again,
00:21:21you have to vote for her.
00:21:22Text her name to help her secure a place in the top ten.
00:21:26Give it up, everybody, for the beautiful Lily Grace.
00:21:34Don't forget, you've only got ten votes to use tonight,
00:21:37so spread them out,
00:21:39or you can stack them all on one idol too.
00:21:41Make sure, though, you vote wisely.
00:21:44OK, still to come tonight,
00:21:46we have our Ballarat barber, Harry,
00:21:48Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella,
00:21:50and our forklift driver, Jacinta.
00:21:52But next, it's the Central Coast landscaper Kalani
00:21:55preparing to take your breath away
00:21:58with a power ballad from the blockbuster movie Top Gun.
00:22:01Don't go anywhere.
00:22:03Idol continues after the break.
00:22:14Welcome back.
00:22:15It is movie week on Idol,
00:22:17and the top 12 are singing cinematic classics for your votes.
00:22:21Up next is our landscaper
00:22:23from the central coast of New South Wales, Kalani.
00:22:26This week, Kalani and the rest of the top 12
00:22:29scored a VIP invite to an exclusive movie screening.
00:22:33Check it out.
00:22:41Being in the top 12 has definitely changed my life.
00:22:44We've been invited to some crazy events.
00:22:46Oh, that's so cool.
00:22:48That's massive.
00:22:49We've been invited to a VIP screening of Top Gun
00:22:52to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film.
00:22:54I love this movie, guys.
00:22:55He's ready.
00:22:55Yeah!
00:23:01It's such an iconic movie.
00:23:03It was always in the background growing up at Nan's place.
00:23:06It's a real 80s classic.
00:23:07I feel the need, the need for speed.
00:23:12Being here with the gang and watching Top Gun is an amazing moment,
00:23:16and it made me realise the song I'm going to need to sing for top 12.
00:23:20So it's movie week?
00:23:21Yeah, movie week.
00:23:22What are you singing?
00:23:23I'm going to sing Take My Breath Away from the movie Top Gun.
00:23:26Classic.
00:23:27Yeah, yeah.
00:23:28Classic.
00:23:28What is it about this movie that you like so much?
00:23:30Well, I think, you know, Maverick, he sort of breaks the rules a little bit,
00:23:34I guess, in a sense, and does his own thing,
00:23:36and I feel like that sort of relates to me with my music.
00:23:39Seeing as I never had any lessons or that sort of thing.
00:23:42Which is, like, mind-blowing to me, yep.
00:23:44I've gone more off feel and instinct.
00:23:47There's a lot of pressure to perform this song really well,
00:23:51especially after getting the fast pass into Top 12.
00:23:54I would like to give you my fast pass, Kalani.
00:24:01There's so many great singers in this competition.
00:24:04For me, it's like, how does he...
00:24:07How does he top it every time?
00:24:14I don't know.
00:24:14I mean, I do really need to level up
00:24:17and make sure Australia's going to vote for me
00:24:20and they stay hooked.
00:24:22I really need to find out what I can do
00:24:24to enhance and elevate this next performance
00:24:27because it's getting down to some short numbers now
00:24:29and there's some great voices here and it's getting real.
00:24:33I definitely feel like I've got something to prove with this one.
00:24:36I want to be the Maverick of Idol.
00:24:37I want to win this thing
00:24:39and make my dreams come true.
00:24:53On this endless ocean
00:24:56Finally, love has known, no shame
00:25:02Turning and returning
00:25:05To some secret place inside
00:25:12Watching in slow motion
00:25:14As you turn around
00:25:17And say
00:25:22Take my breath away
00:25:33Watching I keep waiting
00:25:36Still anticipating love
00:25:42Never hesitating
00:25:45To become the faded one
00:25:47Never hesitating to become the faded one
00:25:49Oh
00:25:51Turning and returning
00:25:54To some secret place to hide
00:26:00Take my breath away
00:26:09Take my breath away
00:26:17Take my breath away
00:26:20Take my breath away
00:26:31Take my breath
00:26:37Thank you
00:26:40Thank you
00:26:56Hey buddy

00:27:11Remember when we were kids they were playing that stuff
00:27:14Yeah that was beautiful
00:27:15And where did you get them MC Hammer pants
00:27:17I haven't seen them since Cavalav on the Gold Coast
00:27:19Mate look wardrobe
00:27:211988 Cavalav Gold Coast
00:27:23That's when I last saw those big parachute pants
00:27:26They're the bomb
00:27:26I thought it was a skirt for a minute
00:27:28But it's actually trousers
00:27:29Yeah it's not the first time it's been mistaken for a skirt
00:27:32You know I think I can pull it off
00:27:33You pull the look off
00:27:35You pull the song off
00:27:36Thanks dude
00:27:36Fantastic I love you
00:27:38I love everything about you
00:27:39Good luck then
00:27:39I love you Carl
00:27:47There's really something quite special about sitting and watching
00:27:52A singer develop his or her style
00:27:55Come on you take my breath away
00:27:57Thank you so much
00:27:58You're really something
00:27:59It means the world
00:27:59It means the world
00:28:00Yeah you know you needed it
00:28:02You needed it
00:28:03And you did what you wanted
00:28:05And I love the lower register
00:28:06And then I love when you just saw you know
00:28:08Yeah it's a pleasure Kalani
00:28:11You're amazing
00:28:12Thank you so much
00:28:13Thank you
00:28:16Kalani you're always great
00:28:18I mean that voice
00:28:19You're so blessed with it
00:28:22And I really enjoyed that
00:28:24And I think once you go on
00:28:26And people know you as an artist
00:28:27You'll be able to really nestle in your genre
00:28:30And everything to do with being an artist
00:28:33But just be careful in the competition
00:28:36Keep trying to find those pockets and moments
00:28:38To almost shock us
00:28:40Because unfortunately it is a competition
00:28:42I don't want you to get forgotten
00:28:44So just always be on the lookout for that
00:28:46That was still amazing
00:28:47But do you know what I mean?
00:28:48Of course yeah
00:28:49Always just find where you're going to shine
00:28:51Because you've got a real hidden talent
00:28:54It's amazing
00:28:55Always an orgasm at the end
00:28:56Remember that
00:28:59Thank you
00:29:03Breathtaking
00:29:05Absolutely breathtaking Kalani
00:29:07Did you enjoy that?
00:29:08So much fun
00:29:09I love that song you know
00:29:11And I'm living my dream at the moment
00:29:13So couldn't ask for anything more
00:29:15Oh my gosh 100%

00:29:40Isn't just reserved for the top 12
00:29:44It can rub off on your family and friends too

00:29:51We can all agree on that

00:30:09I certainly wasn't expecting it at all
00:30:11That's for sure
00:30:12But he definitely has put me in the spotlight a bit
00:30:15You're the star of the show Nan
00:30:18We knew that
00:30:19From the moment we met you at auditions
00:30:21You were the real star of the show here Nan
00:30:24It's just been the best thing
00:30:26Watching him rise like this
00:30:28He's just truly incredible
00:30:30We're all so proud of him up here

00:31:15One of them will score
00:31:17The judge save
00:31:18Which will send them directly
00:31:19Into the top 10
00:31:20That massive decision
00:31:22For our judges is on the way
00:31:23But after the break
00:31:24From Ballarat in Victoria
00:31:26Harry our singing barber
00:31:28Steps into the spotlight
00:31:30Idol is back after this
00:31:43Tonight on Idol
00:31:45Your top 12 take on songs from the movies
00:31:47And with voting open
00:31:49You are the director of their fate
00:31:51Kyle I thought maybe to get us in the movie mood
00:31:54You could give us your best movie trailer voice
00:31:57To introduce our next idol
00:32:00Talking into a mic
00:32:01Yeah
00:32:02Bit nervous
00:32:03Okay
00:32:05This weekend of the movies
00:32:07You've seen him with some scissors
00:32:10You've seen him with a comb
00:32:12But you've never seen him like this
00:32:16Put your hands together
00:32:18Our barber from Ballarat
00:32:19Ladies and gentlemen
00:32:20Give it up for Harry
00:32:30Harry welcome to the top 12
00:32:31Thank you so much
00:32:32How are you feeling?
00:32:33I'm stoked
00:32:34I'm really happy
00:32:34Talk to me about top 21
00:32:36It was a whole new thing for me
00:32:38Obviously the whole transformation
00:32:39And the rock kind of thing
00:32:40Which is all pretty fresh
00:32:41But I'm excited the judges
00:32:42Kind of gave me another chance
00:32:44So all you've got to do
00:32:45Is instead of being a gentle little boy
00:32:47Putting the microphone
00:32:49Flip that stare
00:32:50That's all you need
00:32:51A little bit of tweaking
00:32:54I've taken the judges feedback on board
00:32:56And this week I really want to show them
00:32:57That I can be a rock star
00:32:58And that I can really own the stage
00:33:00Movie week
00:33:01What song are you singing?
00:33:02I'm doing Born to be Wild
00:33:03From Easy Rider
00:33:04Oh nice
00:33:05You really are leaning into the rock and roll
00:33:08Super rocky
00:33:08It's going to be fun
00:33:09It's like really upbeat
00:33:10And it's going to be a vibe
00:33:12I love smoking light
00:33:16Heavy metal thunder
00:33:18A song like this requires you
00:33:20To really give it your all
00:33:22If you go out there
00:33:23And sort of half cook it
00:33:24It's just going to look soft
00:33:25And no one likes the soft rock stuff
00:33:27If you go get out on the highway
00:33:29And then you smile
00:33:31Kind of kills the mood
00:33:32Exactly
00:33:32The song's called Born to be Wild
00:33:35So I think I need to get wild with it
00:33:36And get loose
00:33:37Without looking like a serial killer
00:33:39Theme for you this week
00:33:40Is just 100% commitment
00:33:42Leaning into the rock and roll Harry
00:33:45That's it
00:33:46I'm excited
00:33:53I really have to perform this one with conviction
00:33:55So I'm really letting loose
00:33:57Getting wild
00:33:59Rock stars aren't gentle
00:34:00And I really need to let loose on the stage this week
00:34:02I'm going to really rock out
00:34:03And show this reality
00:34:04What I can do
00:34:15Get your motor running
00:34:18Head out on the highway
00:34:21Looking for adventure
00:34:24And whatever comes our way
00:34:27Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
00:34:31Take the world in a love embrace
00:34:34Fire all of your guns at once
00:34:38And explode into space
00:34:40Like a true nature child
00:34:43We were born, born to be wild
00:34:46We can climb so high
00:34:49I never wanna die
00:34:54Oh, it shall be wild
00:35:00I'm a smoking light
00:35:04Heavy metal thunder
00:35:07Rissing with the wind
00:35:10And the feeling that I'm under
00:35:14Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
00:35:17Take the world in a love embrace
00:35:20Fire all of your guns at once
00:35:24And explode into space
00:35:26Like a true nature child
00:35:29We were born, born to be wild
00:35:32We can climb so high
00:35:35I never wanna die
00:35:40I'm born to be wild
00:35:46I'm born to be wild
00:35:53Oh, I'm gonna be wild
00:36:19Hey, you know, like I keep saying, you've got one of those really cool rock voices and did you see
00:36:26the response of the audience?
00:36:27When you walked down there and you paid them some attention?
00:36:31For sure, yeah, it was great
00:36:32Honey, I would have stayed there myself
00:36:34You know, I mean, you did a great job, Harry
00:36:36And it's really just loosen up, man
00:36:38You know, like it's rock and roll
00:36:40It's not kind and sweet
00:36:43It's good and nasty
00:36:45For sure
00:36:46Okay, well done
00:36:47Yes, honey, because you know it is
00:36:49But well done, Harry
00:36:50Thank you, Marcia
00:36:50You're welcome
00:36:51Yeah
00:36:55Ah
00:36:57Hey, that was
00:36:58I
00:36:59So I was nervous because, you know, you're like
00:37:01I was watching the little package put together and you're like feeling it
00:37:05And I was like, oh, please
00:37:06Like it's just
00:37:07It's such a fine line
00:37:08With like, you know, rock and roll and then cringe
00:37:11And that was the coolest you have looked
00:37:14You looked so relaxed
00:37:16You didn't
00:37:17It didn't look forced
00:37:18You just looked like you were really sinking into it
00:37:22Did it feel like that?
00:37:23Yeah, for sure
00:37:24I felt way more relaxed
00:37:25Yeah, like I know you're still like hitting marks and stuff
00:37:28But you were kind of cruising around
00:37:29You didn't go too over the top
00:37:31You know, I actually thought you were really having a good time up there
00:37:34I was
00:37:34I had a really good time watching you
00:37:36Well done
00:37:36Thanks so much, Amy
00:37:37Cheers
00:37:43She had a really good time watching you
00:37:46That's really what an artist wants to hear
00:37:48They want
00:37:49That's amazing
00:37:49Because to be really successful in this business
00:37:52You either want to be that person on stage
00:37:55Or you want to have sex with that person on stage
00:37:59That's really what being an artist is
00:38:01You think it's about singing and writing
00:38:03No one gives a shit about that
00:38:05Right?
00:38:06You did everything we told you to do from last week
00:38:09Yes
00:38:09You looked like you were having a way better time
00:38:11I still think you could have a better time
00:38:13Yep
00:38:14Without hitting the cringe mark
00:38:15Because we don't want cringe and roll
00:38:17Sure
00:38:17It sounds like something you do with a fire drill
00:38:19We're not interested
00:38:20But you're good
00:38:21You look good
00:38:22The songs are great
00:38:23You're singing in your pocket
00:38:24You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing
00:38:26But it's tough
00:38:28These are the weeks you want to stay in
00:38:29You don't want to be eliminated
00:38:30But very well done, man
00:38:32Nice work
00:38:32Thanks so much, Kyle
00:38:33Cheers
00:38:36Harry, that was rock and roll
00:38:38Thanks
00:38:38You had the whole crowd on their feet
00:38:40That was amazing
00:38:41How was it for you?
00:38:42It felt really good
00:38:43Yeah
00:38:43I had a much better time, I think, this week
00:38:45Just being able to kind of relax and ease into it a little bit more
00:38:47Yeah
00:38:48A long way to go, obviously
00:38:49But
00:38:49No, you looked really comfortable up here
00:38:51Now, Harry, you are a barber back home
00:38:53And your parents are manning the barber's chairs
00:38:56While you're here at Idle
00:38:58Is it true that they're busier than ever
00:39:00With people wanting a haircut?
00:39:03It is
00:39:03It's very true
00:39:04I think
00:39:04The phone's ringing off the hook
00:39:06Looking for me
00:39:06I've had a few people that are sad that I'm here
00:39:09Instead of back home cutting hair
00:39:11Does his parents even cut hair?
00:39:13They do
00:39:13They do, yeah
00:39:14Oh, thank God
00:39:15I thought they'd just been there
00:39:17Just keeping it alive
00:39:18They're not very good haircuts while I'm away
00:39:20But they're fine
00:39:21Oh, I just can't stop thinking about the haircut I gave to my husband during COVID
00:39:25Whoa
00:39:26It was the worst thing anyone's ever seen
00:39:28In Australia
00:39:30To keep Harry's rock star dream alive
00:39:33You have to vote
00:39:35Text Harry to the number on the screen right now
00:39:38He could also score tonight's coveted judge save
00:39:42That will send him directly into the top ten
00:39:44We will find out if he has that at the end of the show
00:39:48Put your hands together, everybody
00:39:49For Harry
00:39:55The atmosphere in the audience tonight is absolutely electric
00:39:58And if you want to be here
00:40:00You can get your free tickets at australianidol.com.au
00:40:04Well, there are more action-packed movie week performances still to come
00:40:07Including a favourite of mine
00:40:09The Lion King
00:40:10Idol is back after this
00:40:24You're an idol
00:40:25And the first half of the top 12 are singing songs from the movies
00:40:28To score a role in the top ten
00:40:30Then tomorrow night, these six idols will step into the spotlight
00:40:34Wanwoo, Harlan, Kesha, John, Trey and Sophie
00:40:38Wanwoo, are you enjoying the show so far?
00:40:40I'm living and loving it
00:40:41Beyond grateful to be surrounded by such amazing people
00:40:44Yeah, absolutely
00:40:45And Harlan, what do you think of the show so far?
00:40:47I'm so, so, so proud of everyone who's performed so far
00:40:50Australia, get your phones out and start voting
00:40:52You heard it here first
00:40:54Well, it's your turn tomorrow night
00:40:57But now, she's a busy mum and a school teacher
00:41:00And just weeks ago, she was in a classroom full of students
00:41:03And now, she's in the top 12
00:41:05Tonight, she's singing a song from a Disney film
00:41:08That once cleaned up at the Oscars
00:41:10This is Samela
00:41:19Hey Samela, how are you doing?
00:41:21Good, how are you?
00:41:22I'm great
00:41:22So welcome
00:41:23Oh, welcome to the top 12
00:41:26You did it
00:41:27How are you feeling?
00:41:28Yeah, I'm feeling so happy
00:41:29My transformation for Transformation Week made me feel a million dollars
00:41:34Like, I felt beautiful
00:41:35And it was a really good feeling to be up there
00:41:38Standing with confidence and ready to take on the world
00:41:41It's movie week
00:41:44Yeah
00:41:44Top 12, what song do you see?
00:41:46I'm singing Circle of Life from The Lion King
00:41:48Circle of Life
00:41:50Oh my gosh
00:41:51The most powerful song ever
00:41:53My connection to the Circle of Life is thinking about the generations of wonderful women in my family
00:41:59I'm so grateful to have been raised by strong, powerful women
00:42:04Lionesses and women that are fearless
00:42:06And I can't wait to raise a powerful, fearless woman
00:42:11Like, that's what the world needs
00:42:13Circle of Life
00:42:29Just in this section
00:42:30Like, I feel like you're really thinking about your phrasing
00:42:33You just need to relax into it
00:42:34Yeah, totally
00:42:35It almost feels robotic
00:42:36Too tight
00:42:37Too tight, yeah
00:42:38Yeah
00:42:38This song does not allow for robotics
00:42:41It needs to be emotive
00:42:42And it needs to flow melodically
00:42:44We'll sing it one more time
00:42:45And just thinking about the generations
00:42:47The women, powerful women
00:42:48Exactly
00:42:49And just really channeling that
00:42:50It's incredibly important to forget about the technical side of the scene
00:42:55And remember who I'm singing this for
00:42:57I'm thinking about my yi-ya
00:42:59My grandma
00:43:00I'm thinking about my mum
00:43:01I'm thinking about my daughter
00:43:04It is so important that I completely blow this performance out of the water
00:43:08To ensure that I have a spot in the top ten
00:43:14From the day we arrived on the planet
00:43:19And Lincoln stepped into the sun
00:43:25There's more to be seen
00:43:28That could ever be seen
00:43:30More to do
00:43:32That could ever be done
00:43:36There's far too much to take in here
00:43:42More to find
00:43:44That could ever be found
00:43:46That the sun rolling high
00:43:51Through the sapphire sky
00:43:53Mates great in the small and let's ride
00:43:58And the sun rolling high
00:44:02It's the will of fortune
00:44:09It's the leap of faith
00:44:14It's the path of hope
00:44:20Till we find a place
00:44:26On the path unwinded
00:44:32In the circle
00:44:38Circle of life
00:44:54Circle of life
00:45:01Circle of life
00:45:29At the beginning
00:45:30The video at the back
00:45:31I thought I was looking at my colonoscopy report
00:45:35Shivers
00:45:36Wow
00:45:37That was fantastic
00:45:39Now I'm not a Lion King fan
00:45:40I didn't even see it when I was a kid
00:45:43But my kid loves it
00:45:45And that was just done beautifully
00:45:47Thank you
00:45:47Very very proud of you
00:45:49Thank you so much
00:45:50Big boys
00:45:50Fabulous work
00:45:51Excellent
00:45:52Thank you

00:45:58At a certain age
00:45:59We've all got to get the camera

00:46:15And it's one
00:46:17Actually the first time I saw that
00:46:20Stage show
00:46:20I burst into tears

00:46:22And you performed
00:46:23Oh God you're one of them
00:46:24Oh I know I'm that person
00:46:25Yes I am that person
00:46:27And I'm so happy to be
00:46:29But that was so beautiful
00:46:30And emotive
00:46:31And just
00:46:32It just
00:46:33Yeah
00:46:34Yeah
00:46:35That's all I can say
00:46:35Well done

00:46:36Thank you
00:46:37It felt really good
00:46:39I agree

00:47:02I think I had Lion King curtains
00:47:04I was
00:47:05Obsessed with that movie
00:47:06And you just had this way
00:47:07Of always taking me back
00:47:09To these beautiful moments
00:47:10And
00:47:11You have no bells and whistles
00:47:13Up there
00:47:13It's just you
00:47:14And you are
00:47:15So real
00:47:16She had to be calling
00:47:17What else could you get
00:47:18Stop interrupting everyone's night
00:47:20You don't get bigger than that
00:47:22It was gorgeous

00:47:46Look absolutely effortless
00:47:48Thank you Ricky
00:47:48It's um

00:47:50Um
00:47:51And it's such an iconic song
00:47:53So
00:47:53I felt the pressure
00:47:55But I felt really privileged
00:47:56To be given that song
00:47:57And
00:47:57And to
00:47:58To have sung that song
00:47:59So yeah

00:48:08Of the OG
00:48:09Lion King movie

00:48:14For my parents
00:48:14And my grandparents
00:48:15And all my little cousins
00:48:16And I played all the characters
00:48:17They weren't allowed to do anything
00:48:19And
00:48:19I'm sure we all did that
00:48:20Doesn't sound like you at all Ricky
00:48:23The circle of life
00:48:25Is my absolute favourite
00:48:26And I cry every time I hear it
00:48:27And I
00:48:28I had all the emotions just then
00:48:30I was really upset
00:48:31That no one
00:48:31Put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh yeah
00:48:33Where's the babies
00:48:34Where's the baby

00:50:16Cafes, radio
00:50:18And even festivals
00:50:19That she's performed at
00:50:20In the past
00:50:20Everyone's giving
00:50:21So much support
00:50:22And it's truly a blessing
00:50:23To be honest
00:50:24How good is that
00:50:25The whole town
00:50:26Yeah
00:50:26Alright well for movie week
00:50:27Jacinta chose a song
00:50:28From the 90s romcom
00:50:30You've Got Mail
00:50:31And boy
00:50:31She's been getting some mail
00:50:33Lots and lots of notes
00:50:35Emails
00:50:35Beautiful messages
00:50:36And support
00:50:37Backing her
00:50:38All the way
00:50:46This is Jacinta
00:50:50What a transformation
00:50:51You're unstoppable now babe
00:50:53Let's go
00:50:54Being in the top 12
00:50:55Is surreal
00:50:56I am starting to feel like
00:50:58My day to day life
00:51:00Is somewhat
00:51:01Of a famous person
00:51:02But I just feel like
00:51:04Regular Jacinta
00:51:05You know
00:51:06I've had a lot of
00:51:07People reach out to me
00:51:09A lot of really lovely comments
00:51:11Go Jacinta
00:51:12Do it for the fallcliff girlies
00:51:14Ding ding
00:51:17Seeing you own who you are
00:51:18Makes me feel confident
00:51:19And makes me want to be myself
00:51:21Even when it's scary
00:51:22I spent a lot of my life alone
00:51:24And not really having anyone
00:51:27Understand me
00:51:28That's really special
00:51:29So if I can inspire
00:51:31And encourage others
00:51:32To know that they have a place
00:51:34Then I think that's probably
00:51:37The most special thing
00:51:37It's movie week
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:39What are you singing this week?
00:51:41So I'm singing
00:51:42Dreams by the Cranberries
00:51:44From the film
00:51:45You've Got Mail
00:51:45Amazing
00:51:46I love this song
00:51:47Right now
00:51:48I am living my dreams
00:51:49And this song is a celebration of that
00:51:52All my life
00:51:56This song starts really soft
00:51:58Which is what people are used to hearing from me
00:52:00In every possible way
00:52:05And then it hits that build
00:52:07And that intensity
00:52:08And it requires me to really vocally bring it
00:52:14That's probably not your strongest
00:52:18I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:21I know it's a scary thing
00:52:22Because you're so used to singing in a certain place
00:52:25But in this moment
00:52:27That's when the bands are lifting
00:52:28We need you to not disappear into the band either
00:52:31My biggest concern is not fully opening up vocally
00:52:36If I get lost and swallowed up by the band
00:52:39The performance will fall flat
00:52:40Got to keep the intensity of that
00:52:42Because you got there
00:52:43And then you went
00:52:43Yeah
00:52:44I want to do it for the people
00:52:46I'm inspiring
00:52:46I can't let these people down
00:52:48They will be at the forefront
00:52:50When I perform
00:52:56All my life
00:53:00Is changing every day
00:53:04In every possible way
00:53:12In all my dreams
00:53:17It's never quite as it seems
00:53:21Never quite as it seems
00:53:25I know I felt like this before
00:53:31But now I'm feeling it even more
00:53:35Because it came from you
00:53:59I know I felt like this before
00:54:05But now I'm feeling it even more
00:54:09Because it came from you
00:54:14Because it came from you
00:54:19And all my life
00:54:22Is changing every day
00:54:27In every possible way
00:54:35And all my dreams
00:54:39In all my dreams
00:54:39It's never quite as it seems
00:54:43Cause you're gonna dream to me
00:54:47Dream to me
00:55:07That's like one of my favorite songs
00:55:09I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries play
00:55:11Like one of the last times
00:55:12They played in this country
00:55:14And it was funny
00:55:15Because obviously
00:55:16Dolores' voice is so different
00:55:19And iconic
00:55:20And it really made sense
00:55:22For you to do something like that
00:55:24I was worried
00:55:25It's just such a big song to tackle
00:55:27I was worried
00:55:27In the big, big notes
00:55:29But you really are such an individual
00:55:34And you've just got this voice
00:55:36That I want it to stay
00:55:37I could just listen to you
00:55:38In that register
00:55:40That sort of lower register
00:55:41All day
00:55:42I was worried about
00:55:43When you took on the high notes there
00:55:45But I just love what you're about
00:55:47And I think Australia loves what you're about
00:55:49So keep going
00:55:51Keep challenging yourself
00:55:53You should be proud
00:55:59I'll just say this
00:56:00I met Dolores way back in the day
00:56:02With she and her husband
00:56:03A very unusual human being
00:56:05That's why she sang that way
00:56:07You know
00:56:08I think she lived an incredibly tortured life
00:56:10I think you chose well with the song
00:56:14I think the big notes really
00:56:16Kind of tripped you up a bit
00:56:18You know
00:56:19Tell me
00:56:20Talk to me
00:56:20How did you feel about the big notes?
00:56:24Um
00:56:24Yeah
00:56:25I mean
00:56:26Doing the big notes
00:56:27I think was
00:56:28Not only me stepping out
00:56:30Vocally
00:56:31But like
00:56:32Physically
00:56:33And mentally
00:56:33And
00:56:34It's so hard to like
00:56:35Sorry
00:56:36It's so hard to break
00:56:39From those walls
00:56:45It's like I'm fighting myself
00:56:47But Jacinta
00:56:48You know
00:56:48It's kind of like
00:56:49You know
00:56:49You go hard
00:56:50Or you go home
00:56:51Okay
00:56:51So like
00:56:52If you're going to sing a song like that
00:56:54And you want to sing a song like that
00:56:56I have no problem with it
00:56:57But you find your own interpretation
00:57:00With the instructions that
00:57:02That Carmen gives you
00:57:03You know
00:57:03And so
00:57:04When a note doesn't feel right
00:57:06In you
00:57:07Guess what
00:57:08It's not right
00:57:10Okay
00:57:10So I think you did a very good job
00:57:13Don't cry honey
00:57:14Sorry
00:57:14I'm not
00:57:15Don't be sorry
00:57:16But I'm not here to tear you down either
00:57:18I'm here to encourage you
00:57:19Okay
00:57:20Of course
00:57:20So when you sing
00:57:22You sing for yourself
00:57:23And sing to the best of your ability
00:57:25You know
00:57:26You're worried about the band drawing you out
00:57:27You don't let no band drown you out honey
00:57:29You sing on top of the band
00:57:31You sing through the band
00:57:32If you're able
00:57:32Okay
00:57:33But I think you did a good job
00:57:35But don't cry
00:57:36No need
00:57:36Thank you
00:57:37You're welcome
00:57:46Okay real talk
00:57:47What's going on
00:57:48Yeah
00:57:48Are you alright
00:57:49Yeah I'm good
00:57:50What's going on
00:57:51Sorry guys
00:57:52Just sit with the headline
00:57:54What's going on
00:57:55Um
00:57:56Anxiety
00:57:56A lot of anxiety
00:57:58Yeah
00:57:58I understand
00:57:59Yeah
00:57:59You know what this business
00:58:01Nearly every person you see on TV
00:58:03Or on stage
00:58:04Or in films
00:58:05Nearly everyone
00:58:07Has got anxiety
00:58:08Yeah
00:58:08This will shock you
00:58:10Welcome to the
00:58:11Anxiety ridden business
00:58:13We're all riddled with it
00:58:14Where every bastard's got the anxiety
00:58:16Except for me
00:58:19And you'd think
00:58:20After this week
00:58:21Why hasn't he got anxiety
00:58:24I just don't have it
00:58:25I'm lucky
00:58:25But I know about it
00:58:27I've dealt with artists before
00:58:29I've dealt with partners before
00:58:30That have had anxiety
00:58:32You nailed it
00:58:33When you're up there
00:58:34You don't see it
00:58:35You cloaked it
00:58:36Um
00:58:37I think we've seen you perform better
00:58:39But I love your voice
00:58:41I do think that's a great song
00:58:43That
00:58:44The anxiety
00:58:45We can't see it
00:58:46Okay
00:58:46Until you cried
00:58:47I didn't even know
00:58:48So whatever little shower curtain
00:58:50You've got hanging up from the roof there
00:58:51That was enough to mask it
00:58:54So you're killing it
00:58:55Don't let anxiety swallow you up
00:58:57Don't let it
00:58:58Don't let it win
00:58:59Thank you
00:59:07You know what the most amazing thing though
00:59:10Was to see
00:59:11Is to see
00:59:11I feel like this is a little bit of a representation
00:59:14Of what you've been feeling
00:59:15And to see you walk out and into the light
00:59:17Was the most incredibly beautiful thing
00:59:19And you are doing such an incredible job
00:59:21That was a stunning performance
00:59:23Anything
00:59:27You are our fabulous forklift driver
00:59:31How was that performance for you?
00:59:32I know the judges had a lot to say
00:59:34You guys had a little chat
00:59:35But how did it feel
00:59:36That performance for you?
00:59:39It felt
00:59:39Parts of it felt good
00:59:41And then parts of that
00:59:42I felt like I was a bit trapped
00:59:43I was scared to take that step
00:59:45Because for me
00:59:46I feel like taking that step
00:59:47Is now like
00:59:48Like this is it
00:59:49Like you can't go back
00:59:50Into that box
00:59:51So I think it was just a bit overwhelming
00:59:54Taking that step
00:59:55Yeah
00:59:55But you did it
00:59:56And that's what this show is all about
01:00:04Now Jacinta
01:00:05We saw in your video package
01:00:07All those letters coming in
01:00:08Kyle's doing the forklift driving
01:00:11All the forklift drivers
01:00:13From around the country
01:00:14Are really getting behind you
01:00:15How does it make you feel
01:00:17When you see that support?
01:00:19That's going to make you feel
01:00:21Yeah
01:00:21It makes me feel
01:00:22It makes me feel really whole
01:00:24And really blessed
01:00:25And really grateful
01:00:26That people are backing me
01:00:28In that way
01:00:28Like you can't
01:00:29You can't put a price on that
01:00:31You focus on that
01:00:32And that's the good
01:00:33In what this business is
01:00:34You find your people
01:00:35And your supporters

01:00:59Alright
01:00:59Well we have come to the end
01:01:02Of the performances for tonight
01:01:03That means it's time
01:01:05For our judges
01:01:06To deliberate
01:01:06On who they'll save
01:01:07From the public vote
01:01:08And send directly
01:01:10Into the top 10
01:01:11That
01:01:12Mission Impossible
01:01:13Is coming up
01:01:14Don't go anywhere
01:01:24Welcome back
01:01:25All tonight's idols
01:01:26Have performed
01:01:27And shortly
01:01:28The judges
01:01:28Must make
01:01:29The tough decision
01:01:30On who they will save
01:01:32From the viewer
01:01:33Vote
01:01:33And send directly
01:01:34Into the top 10
01:01:35Kyle
01:01:36You guys are finding it
01:01:37Really tough tonight
01:01:38Aren't you
01:01:39Because everyone
01:01:39Has stepped up
01:01:40Well nearly everyone
01:01:42Has stepped up
01:01:43Tonight I think
01:01:44It's obvious
01:01:45Who hasn't
01:01:45But it's still
01:01:46Anyone's game
01:01:47It's anyone's contest
01:01:48This is the hardest part
01:01:50And a lot of people's favourites
01:01:52Every week someone goes home
01:01:53Unfortunately
01:01:54Yeah it is the hard part
01:01:56Now while they hash it out
01:01:57Let's check in
01:01:59On what your top 12
01:02:00Have been up to
01:02:01This week
01:02:01It hasn't just been rehearsals
01:02:03Far from it
01:02:04They've been living
01:02:05The full idol experience
01:02:07Flashing cameras
01:02:09Luxury rides
01:02:10Recording studios
01:02:11And VIP events
01:02:12They have stepped
01:02:14Into the spotlight
01:02:14And totally owned it
01:02:18Top 12's insane
01:02:20I feel like
01:02:21There's just always
01:02:22Something that's going on
01:02:24Today
01:02:24We are getting
01:02:25The best opportunities
01:02:27Like workshops
01:02:28With Sony
01:02:29Workshops with The Annex
01:02:31Recording studio
01:02:32With The Hive
01:02:33It is just like
01:02:33Creme de la creme
01:02:35Top 12 everyone
01:02:37Yeah I mean
01:02:38The fact that we're travelling
01:02:39And riding in a limo
01:02:41I feel luxurious
01:02:43Has anyone ever been in a limo before?
01:02:45Not me
01:02:49We've all been travelling around by limo
01:02:51Which has been crazy
01:02:52And now we're at Sony Music Publishing
01:02:53And we're doing the songwriting course
01:02:55Love the orange
01:02:57Sony is really really proud
01:02:59To be looking after people like
01:03:01Sia
01:03:01Five seconds of summer
01:03:03ACDC
01:03:04I'm feeling so so damn lucky
01:03:06To be here for this private songwriting workshop
01:03:09Such a blessing
01:03:09I think just write what you want to write
01:03:11And say what you want to say
01:03:12That's always the ultimate goal
01:03:14When it comes to writing a song
01:03:15Is how can we make your experience
01:03:17Come alive
01:03:18I never had this kind of expertise
01:03:21Or this kind of like knowledge
01:03:22About the industry so much
01:03:23Before Idle
01:03:24We're heading to the annex
01:03:27To the social media workshop
01:03:28Social media is still new to me
01:03:30Because I only recently just got a phone
01:03:32So your phone is a direct connection
01:03:34To growing your audience
01:03:35So that when people land
01:03:37They immediately can get an understanding
01:03:39Of who you are
01:03:39There is a lot to learn
01:03:41Got to keep up with these Gen Z's
01:03:43Working on the gram
01:03:45Working on the ticky tock
01:03:47We're on the way to the studio
01:03:51We are at the Hive Studios
01:03:53Now we're going to record
01:03:55The top 12 single
01:03:56Who's Excited?
01:04:01I've definitely got a taste
01:04:02Of what being a recording artist could be
01:04:04And I will do whatever it takes
01:04:05For this to be my life
01:04:09This is such a good look
01:04:11Into the music industry
01:04:12Seeing how it all works
01:04:13Has really made me want this even more
01:04:15Well done guys
01:04:16I think we've got it
01:04:22How cool is all of that?
01:04:24You don't come on Idle just to sing
01:04:27You're getting real world experience
01:04:29Working with industry professionals
01:04:31It's such a great way to boost your career
01:04:33No matter where you place in the competition
01:04:36Amy and Marsha
01:04:37It's true though right
01:04:38An artist has to work so hard on their craft
01:04:41To make it in this business
01:04:43It's not easy but it's worth it
01:04:45Because you're creating your brand
01:04:47You have to work hard
01:04:48I mean I always say
01:04:49This is a great great platform
01:04:51For people who want to be in the industry
01:04:53But once you're here
01:04:55People know you
01:04:56So you've got to bang on doors
01:04:57Yeah a lot of like discipline
01:04:59And sacrifices
01:05:00Yes
01:05:01Anything to sort of
01:05:03Yeah make the dream come alive
01:05:04Absolutely
01:05:05I mean you two are the perfect example of that
01:05:06Still
01:05:07Like still banging down doors
01:05:09Still killing it
01:05:09Still doing your thing
01:05:10It never ends
01:05:10Still giving
01:05:11You've got to gig
01:05:12Yeah
01:05:12Hey and you can be here one minute
01:05:13And go on the next
01:05:14They say
01:05:16Just like that
01:05:17You're there
01:05:17And then you're gone
01:05:18Thanks for the reminder
01:05:19That's what they say
01:05:20That's what they say
01:05:21Well everyone
01:05:22As you saw
01:05:23In the video

01:05:34For the very first time
01:05:36On Tuesday's live results show

01:05:40I can see the judges have come to a decision
01:05:43So up next
01:05:44They will announce who they'll save
01:05:46From this week's public vote
01:05:48The decision you've been waiting for

01:06:00You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026
01:06:05They'll win a life changing $100,000
01:06:10Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards
01:06:13And the TV Week Logie Awards
01:06:16Boost their brand with the annex
01:06:18The experts in marketing and social media
01:06:22Attend a songwriting camp
01:06:24With Sony Music Publishing
01:06:25And score an exclusive package
01:06:28To record new music

01:06:47Have performed
01:06:48And now it is over
01:06:49To the judges
01:06:50To decide
01:06:52Which one lucky idol
01:06:54Will be catapulted into the top 10
01:06:56Giving them immunity
01:06:58From the nationwide vote
01:07:00It could be the idol
01:07:01They believe was the best on the night
01:07:03Or someone they think
01:07:04Deserves a second chance
01:07:06So Amy and Marsha
01:07:07Six incredible singers
01:07:08But only one judge
01:07:10Saved to use
01:07:11Such a difficult decision
01:07:13Yeah this is when
01:07:14It gets really real
01:07:15You know
01:07:16It's so real
01:07:16Now like I keep saying
