00:01It's Australian Idol and we are live!
00:05For 24 hours, you voted and your verdict is revealed tonight.
00:10But before that, turn it up for your Top 8!
00:27I was a ghost, I was alone.
00:31You was here, I'll get so gay.
00:35Given the throne, I didn't know to believe I was the queen now I'm meant to be.
00:43I've lived too large, one playful time.
00:47But I couldn't find my own place.
00:50I'm a problem, child, cause I got you out.
00:55But that's just how I'm here to be.
00:58I'll be hiding, shining like I'm born to be.
01:05We're dreaming hard, we came so far now I believe.
01:13We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
01:17You know together we're going.
01:19We're gonna be, gonna be going.
01:28We're waiting so long to break these walls down.
01:33To wake up and feel like me.
01:36With these patterns all in the past now.
01:41And finally live like the girl I'm meant to be.
01:45No more shining, I'll be shining like I'm born to be.
01:52Cause we are heartless boys.
01:56Cause I'm broken, I know I believe.
02:00We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
02:04You know together we're going.
02:06Gonna be, gonna be golden.
02:07We're gonna be golden.
02:08Oh, up, up, up without a voice.
02:12You know together we're going.
02:14Gonna be, gonna be golden.
02:16We're gonna be golden.
02:18I'm shining, now I'm shining like I'm born to be.
02:23Gonna be.
02:24I know how time goes through these gold eyes,
02:28Yet, who and born to be.
02:43And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:52Last night your top eight delivered a spectacle and you delivered the votes the response was
02:59Like nothing we have ever seen before
03:03Voting though is now officially closed and your verdict will be revealed very soon
03:10Last night our idols faced their toughest test yet
03:13Tackling curveball songs chosen by you
03:16From start to finish it was a ride of unexpected and unforgettable performances
03:21Check it out
03:25Idol got turned on its head
03:28As our top eight took on unexpected songs chosen by you
03:32I think you just created a new genre I think it's K-pop jukebox
03:42They rose to the challenge
03:47Our tradie Kalani talking about dancing in his heels is just what I needed
03:52Delivering spectacular moments
04:01Every time you walk on stage you're so pleasant but you're deadly
04:05Show stopping performances
04:08Great energy, great work, loved you tonight, good luck
04:11That lit up the stage
04:14I'm still the one I love, lover, the only one I've dreamed of
04:21To the just one attention I know from the start
04:25Oh here he is
04:28I'm gonna crawl my eyelashes off, it's so good
04:32This was Idol at its absolute finest
04:36Cause I'm your lady
04:40Performing up there today, I felt free
04:43Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy, lord
04:46That's the best we've ever seen you, sensational
04:49But one performance soared above them all
04:59What's the actual
05:01So when it came to the judges say
05:04They only had one choice
05:07This person created a moment we'll never forget
05:10Harlan
05:12You and my friend are straight into the top six
05:17So good
05:18I got the same
05:21I cannot believe what we just witnessed
05:23That we've been insane
05:24It's been huge
05:26Now eight will become six
05:28Everyone's so amazing but I really hope I've done enough
05:31As we count down to the finale
05:34I'm really hoping that I gave Australia what they wanted tonight
05:37I gave them my all and I'm hoping that's enough
05:38And you choose your Australian Idol
05:42I want to stay in this competition so badly
05:44I just have so much more to give
05:50All of those performances can be streamed right now on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes
05:56Go and add them to your playlists right now
05:59I know I will be
06:00Kyle, Australia is voting to support their favourite idol
06:04But with the talent so good this year
06:06The results could swing either way, right?
06:08The votes have gone up like One Nation's takeover, have you noticed?
06:13It's right up there, it's big votes
06:15We just had a chat before
06:17We can't figure out for the life of us
06:20We've got no clue
06:21They're all fantastic
06:22They really are
06:23For sure
06:24Amy, we're almost at the final stages of the competition
06:26And shortly we're going to have to say goodbye to two incredibly talented singers
06:30How are you feeling about that?
06:31It's sad for us because I just love watching these guys perform every week
06:37So it's sad but it's also exciting because they've shown the country just what they're capable of
06:42So no matter what happens, they're set
06:44We know how great they are
06:45So true
06:47Yeah, make some noise
06:50Marsha, later on in the show
06:51Marsha, we have a very special guest performance from Australian Idol winner
06:56Dylan Wright
06:58Are you excited about that?
07:00Oh look, you know, it's just so wonderful
07:02Dylan's doing incredibly well
07:04And he's happy
07:06He's settled
07:06And he's successful
07:08I mean, what more could anybody ask?
07:10I'm so proud of him
07:12He's doing an incredible job
07:14Flying the flag
07:15Now, thousands and thousands of you have been joining the conversation about Australian Idol
07:20We love to see all of your comments
07:23So keep them coming
07:24Scotty, what's everyone saying?
07:25You know I love this part
07:26You really love this part
07:28No, but honestly
07:29Yeah, yeah
07:29Honestly, it was just wall to wall with people predicting who's staying and who's going
07:33Okay
07:33And I can tell you right now, every single Idol has got a mention tonight in the last 24 hours
07:38There's no clear favourite, it's anyone's game
07:40There we go
07:41But also on tonight's show, you can catch us live right now on TikTok
07:45So look us up and you can go behind the scenes, nothing's off limits
07:48They're doing a full tour
07:49Well, there are some things off limits
07:50Nothing's off limits
07:52Ricky, I'm going to go check on the Idols right now in the lounge
07:55All righty, all righty
07:56In just a moment we will learn who is safe
07:59And which four Idols will sing again to prove they should stay in the competition
08:03Then we will reveal your verdict and find out which two will be leaving Idol for good
08:09Scotty, what's the vibe like down there in the lounge?
08:12Oh you know what it's like, there's always nerves here but I'm here with the eight idols that performed last
08:16night
08:16But by the end of tonight we're going to be left with only a top six
08:21Of course our Brizzy boy Harlan, he scored the judges save last night
08:26You're safely through to next week
08:28The thing is, everyone here, you're all really good friends
08:31I mean Jacinta, whether you go tonight or stay, how are you feeling?
08:36Look, I'm feeling really blessed to be here
08:39I've never shared the stage with such talented and special humans
08:43So whatever happens, happens but just know I'm rooting for all of you
08:46Yeah, 100%
08:48And Jukebox Johnny, how are you feeling?
08:50I just think, um, I've learnt so, like, honestly so much from all of you
08:56And, like, I've grown so much as a person being around me for all this time
09:00And I'm so grateful for that
09:01So whatever happens, I love you all
09:04And thank you so much

09:44Alright, after last night's show
09:46You voted to save your favourite idol
09:49The singers announced as Safe will breathe a huge sigh of relief

17:48Judges
17:49Some great singers
17:50In the bottom four
17:51I know it's inevitable
17:52But Kyle and Amy
17:53Did you see this coming?
17:55I did not
17:55How's your maths going for this now?
17:57What?
17:58Mathematically
17:59Yeah mathematically
18:00I'm out of my league here
18:01Mathematically
18:02But
18:03I remember
18:04The Sunday Night Performance
18:05All very strong
18:07All fabulous
18:08But it's the nature of the contest
18:10Everyone will go
18:12Except for one
18:13This is on another level though
18:14This is like
18:14I feel like this show
18:15Has been building and building
18:16And we have some
18:17Just insane talent
18:19Like this season
18:20Yeah
18:20It's been absolutely phenomenal
18:22So
18:23You can't
18:24Still anyone's game
18:25Really
18:25Yeah
18:26Yeah
18:26Marsha
18:27We are at risk of losing
18:28Some serious talent
18:29Aren't we?
18:30Seriously
18:30Serious
18:31Talent
18:32You know
18:33I'm actually speechless
18:34So
18:35All I can do is wait
18:37To hear you guys sing again
18:39As always
18:40From my heart
18:41I wish you all the luck
18:42Do the best you can
18:44That's all you can do guys

18:57All four
18:57Will perform

19:51Next week

33:28Thank you, mate
33:28Job well done
33:29Everyone, give it up for Charlie
33:33So Kesha, Samela, Kalani and Charlie
33:37Have done what they can to show us
33:38Why they should stay in the competition
33:40Yes, very shortly we will find out
33:43Who will take the last two spots in the top six
33:47And which two will immediately exit the competition
33:51But before all of that
33:53We have an exclusive performance
33:56From Dylan Wright
33:59Yes
34:00The Aussie Idol winner
34:01Is now an Aria chart topper
34:04And golden guitar winner
34:05And he is returning to the Idol stage
34:08Right after the break
34:20You're watching the Australian Idol live verdict show
34:23A massive number of votes came in
34:26For your idols
34:27And we are moments away from revealing
34:29Who will stay
34:30And who will go
34:31But first
34:32In 2024
34:33He was crowned the winner
34:35Of Australian Idol
34:36And since then
34:37He's won awards
34:38Top the charts
34:39And toured Australia
34:40And overseas
34:41Here to perform a single
34:42From his brand new album
34:44This is Dylan Wright
34:50Those nights
34:52Those nights
34:53Are not what I think about
34:58When we were younger
35:01Sitting in my car
35:06We'd watch the colors
35:09We'd watch the colors
35:11Dance in the darkness
35:13We had nowhere to be
35:16No need to run
35:23I want to go back to when we were wild and free
35:31We didn't know what the future would make us be
35:39We're on the streets
35:41And we're never alone
35:43Each day
35:44I'll repeat
35:45Every thought
35:46If we go
35:48When the stars are burning bright
35:53I'm thinking of those nights
36:01I'm thinking of those nights
36:10There's various things on the counter
36:12Old laundry on the line
36:14Builds stacked on the table
36:16That I do all the time
36:18Things ain't been the same
36:20Since they were way back then
36:23Sometimes I wish I could trade this all in
36:27I want to go back to when we were wild and free
36:34And we didn't know what the future would make us be
36:43We're on the streets
36:45And we're never alone
36:47Each day
36:48Are we ever thought it'd be gone
36:52When the stars are burning bright
36:57I'm thinking of those nights
37:01Oh
37:05I'm thinking of those nights
37:08Oh
37:15Memories will never fail
37:17It'll be alright
37:19They keep us coming back
37:21I'm thinking of those nights
37:24Oh
37:26Oh
37:27I'm thinking of those nights
37:32Oh
37:36Yeah
37:37I'm thinking of those nights
37:41Oh
37:42Yeah
37:45I'm thinking of those nights
37:53I'm thinking of those nights
38:04Australia, make some noise for Dylan Wright
38:09Come on, it's so good to see you again
38:13Oh my gosh
38:14That song
38:14Dylan Wright
38:15And that brand new song
38:16Those nights
38:17My gosh
38:18So good to see you back on this stage
38:19Good to be back
38:20For old time's sake
38:21Should we get some comments from the judges?
38:23Yes
38:24Do we have to?
38:25Judges
38:25What did you think of Dylan's performance?
38:27How good is it having him back here?
38:29We were actually saying
38:30It must be so surreal for you
38:33You know
38:33I mean
38:34It's been a while
38:35But it sort of
38:36It all floods back
38:38Like whoa
38:38Yeah
38:39PTSD
38:39It comes back
38:40Straight away
38:40Oh it's good
38:41It's good
38:43Well
38:43Dylan
38:44You've been working so hard
38:45Like we see each other all the time at airports
38:47Yes
38:48And I love seeing you in the Daily Grind
38:50And just touring
38:51That song is fantastic
38:52Like we couldn't be prouder of you men
38:54Thank you
38:54Well done for everything you've done
38:56Thank you very much
38:58Hey um
38:59Are you and Amy
39:00Are you and Amy gate dwellers at the airport
39:02Or are you like the Virgin Lounge type of
39:04We don't say
39:06You know
39:06We're everyone
39:07You know
39:07I'm a gate dweller
39:09Are you really
39:10That's surprising
39:10I love the little muffin at the cafe
39:12I'm not interested in those free biscuits and cheese
39:14Oh you don't
39:14Oh so you don't do the Lounge
39:15It's rubbish
39:15The Lounge
39:16Oh no because he's at the private terminal
39:17Of course
39:18Not anymore I'm not
39:21I'm lined up on Jetstar
39:23It takes his McDonald's in
39:25Yeah
39:25I love it
39:26Dylan
39:26Your life changed forever
39:28When you won Australian Idol
39:30Number one album
39:31You've performed in Nashville
39:32You've won a golden guitar
39:33With your band Sons of Atticus
39:35The list goes on
39:37Yes
39:38What's been the highlight for you would you say
39:41It's been two years now
39:43So it's been a huge whirlwind
39:45And I've just been writing and recording so much
39:48I've got three different projects
39:50One's an electronic one called Breathe
39:51One's Sons of Atticus
39:52One's me
39:53So
39:54Just all of it
39:56Just being on this show
39:57And being able to get onto the road
39:59And see as many people as possible
40:00That's been a huge highlight for me
40:02You're on the hustle
40:03You're on the grind
40:03I love it
40:04Non-stop
40:05It's the way to go
40:06Dylan you are heading out on tour again this May
40:09And Lily Grace
40:11From this year's Top 12
40:12Will be joining you for some of the dates
40:14How cool is that?
40:15Yeah
40:15A Northern Rivers local
40:17Yes
40:17So we had to have her on board
40:18I've watched Lily Grace over the past few years
40:21Go to Tamworth and everything
40:22So I'm so excited to kind of have her around our hometown
40:26Up in the Northern Rivers
40:26Love it
40:27Can't wait to see you live
40:28Got to get out there
40:29Get out there Australia
40:30Grab your tickets and get behind Dylan Wright
40:32His new album is out in July
40:34But you can pre-order it right now
40:37And we look forward to last year's Idol winner
40:40Marshall Hamburger
40:41Hitting the stage next week too
40:43But for now
40:44Give it up for Dylan Wright
40:51All right
40:52Business time
40:53Straight after the break
40:54It is the moment of truth
40:56We will reveal which two are safe
40:58And which two will be eliminated from the competition
41:01They are waiting backstage
41:03Ready to find out
41:04So don't go anywhere
41:05Australian Idol is back
41:07Right after this
41:18It's Australian Idol
41:19And we are 100% live
41:23For 24 hours
41:24Your votes came pouring in
41:26As you fought to save your favourite Idol from elimination
41:29Earlier tonight
41:30We revealed who you voted as safe
41:32And into the top six
41:34We also revealed who you voted in the bottom four
41:36And they sang again to show us
41:38Why they shouldn't be in this spot next week
41:41If they survive tonight's elimination
41:43Judges
41:44What would you say to the viewers at home
41:46Disappointed to see their favourite on the chopping block tonight
41:50Well it's hard
41:51Because everyone loves someone for something
41:54You know
41:55And that's quite a unique personal thing
41:56That's so true
41:58But all I continue to say is
41:59Please you know
42:00If you really dig somebody
42:01You've got to vote
42:02Vote hard
42:03And get your family to vote for them
42:04Yes
42:05However you get those votes
42:06Get those votes
42:08Hustle
42:09All right
42:09Australia
42:10It is time to reveal
42:11Your verdict
42:13Who is safe
42:14And who is in the bottom two
42:17And going home
42:18Tonight
42:19Hit the lights
42:21Let's do this
42:24In no particular order
42:27Based on the nationwide vote
42:29Australia
42:30You had 24 hours to have your say
42:33You voted
42:34And you decided
42:36Four incredible singers
42:39Are standing up here
42:40But only two spots remain
42:42In the top six
42:44The first idol safe
42:47And through to next week
42:51Is
42:55Kesha
43:14Kesha
43:16Oh!
43:16Oh!
43:18Thank God.
43:19Isn't that a penis?
43:21Wow!
43:22Congratulations, Kesha.
43:24You're safe for another week.
43:26How do you feel?
43:27Kyle just...
43:28Made love to the death, yes.
43:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:34That's my girl.
43:37Hey, nice.
43:38Well done.
43:39Thank the Lord.
43:40Yes.
43:40Although you're all great, but I did say she's my favourite,
43:42so cat's out of the bag.
43:45Kesha, why don't you talk for a second?
43:48Oh, I don't have any words that can describe the feeling that I feel.
43:53Kyle, over to you.
43:54No.
43:55No, thank you.
43:56Honestly, from the bottom of my heart,
43:58I had a tough week with that song and I was...
44:01Yeah, it was rough to kind of get through it and do my best
44:05and be positive about myself and about my performance
44:09and just trying not to, you know, make it a bad thing
44:14that you've got to challenge yourself.
44:16So I'm happy I challenged myself.
44:17Mm-hm.
44:18Thank you so much, guys.
44:19I am so excited to show you what...
44:21Kesha, well done.
44:23You can join the others in the lounge now.
44:25Congrats, beautiful.
44:26Let's take a sigh of relief.
44:28All right.
44:31One spot left in the top six.
44:34You really can feel how important this moment is right now
44:38for everyone up on this stage.
44:40Sadly, though, two of them are about to leave the competition for good.
44:45Congrats to all of you.

46:45Charlie, it's been a pleasure to watch you.
46:47Any words from you?
46:49You know, I'm just so thankful to be a part of this journey.
46:52There's so much amazing work that goes on behind the scene.
46:55From the band to costume.
46:57You know, and I just feel so grateful to be here.
46:59I'd like to thank the hair department.

47:11So, thank you, thank you so much.
47:13Good stuff.
47:14Hey, judges.
47:16Any final words of wisdom?

47:31You should've kept the orange beanie.
47:33I have no words.
47:36A lot of love.
47:37Normally, Amy does a lot of cuddling and touching.
47:39You know, Amy doesn't really touch people, so that's really big.
47:43Yeah.
47:44Yeah.
47:44No, there's a lot of love.
47:46There's a lot of love.
47:47We love you guys.

47:55Keep going.
47:56I will.
47:57I will.
47:57I will.
47:58It's just the start.
48:00Samela, I'll never forget meeting you at auditions and you saying that you had put music
48:05to the side to be a mum and that this was your chance to do the thing that you had
48:10always
48:10wanted to do.
48:11And you did it.
48:12Yeah.
48:12You really did it.
48:13And you showed your babies to follow their dreams and you did an incredible job and you
48:18should be so proud of yourself.
48:19Thanks so much.
48:20And Charlie, since the second I met you at auditions, my gosh, I could tell that you were a true
48:26musician.
48:28And then I heard you sing through the little creak in the door and your heart was on display
48:32and it has been every step of the way in every note that you sing.
48:36So thank you so much for joining us and putting so many amazing performances here on this stage.
48:41Of course.
48:41Thank you guys.
48:42Thank you so much as well.
48:43We love you.
48:44We have loved having both of you on Idol.
48:47Australia, hit up Samella and Charlie on socials and please get behind them.
48:53Give it up one more time for Samella and Charlie.
48:59Well done, brother.
