00:00:22Welcome to Transformation Week.
00:00:25This is...
00:00:26Australia Rule!
00:00:43Hello, Australia. I'm Rikki Lee.
00:00:46And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:48Tonight, our singers will deliver their most important performance
00:00:51of the competition so far,
00:00:53right here in front of the biggest audience ever.
00:01:00Wow.
00:01:01Wow.
00:01:02They are all getting an incredible makeover
00:01:05and choosing a song to show the judges
00:01:07why they are the total package
00:01:10and worthy of a place in the top 12.
00:01:13Deciding their fate tonight are the biggest names in the biz,
00:01:17your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:27Carl Sandilands.
00:01:29Marsha Hines.
00:01:32And Amy Sharp.
00:01:38Good evening, Scotty.
00:01:40Good evening, Rikki Lee.
00:01:42Here we go again.
00:01:46Is it getting louder in here?
00:01:48Huge.
00:01:49What a crowd.
00:01:51Looking good, judges.
00:01:54Wow.
00:01:56All right.
00:01:58Welcome, judges.
00:02:00Hey.
00:02:00Hi.
00:02:01All right.
00:02:01So, this is how tonight will go.
00:02:04Seven singers will perform.
00:02:05Then the judges will decide which four deserve to go through
00:02:09to next week's all-important live shows.
00:02:13But in this round,
00:02:15we also have the almighty Fast Pass.
00:02:20Yes.
00:02:21It is such a game-changer.
00:02:23With one decision,
00:02:24they can send an artist directly into the top 12,
00:02:27overriding the rest of the panel.
00:02:28All right, Scotty.
00:02:29Who wants a demonstration from Scotty?
00:02:31Scotty.
00:02:32Give us your Fast Pass, Scotty.
00:02:34This is what you're looking out for, everyone.
00:02:36Three, two, one.
00:02:38Fast Pass!
00:02:43You have more sub-office in here tonight?
00:02:45That was beautiful.
00:02:46That was really beautiful.
00:02:47Good graphics.
00:02:47All right.
00:02:48Each judge has only one Fast Pass,
00:02:50which can be used on any singer at any time
00:02:54over the next three nights.
00:02:56Amy, are you looking forward to seeing these amazing makeovers tonight?
00:03:00I am.
00:03:01This is, like, my favourite part because it's, like...
00:03:03I mean, everyone would love to be able to perform
00:03:06in an Adidas track suit.
00:03:07I tried to do it for a while.
00:03:08It doesn't work.
00:03:09You need to elevate.
00:03:09And, um, I think these guys are really going to show up tonight.
00:03:13I'm excited.
00:03:14100%.
00:03:15Marsha, the talent this year, incredible.
00:03:18It's not going to be easy to judge them, right?
00:03:20No, it's not.
00:03:21It's never easy to judge them.
00:03:23But the bottom line is we have done the best we can
00:03:26and I hope that the kids do too.
00:03:29That's what's really important.
00:03:30All we can do is the best we can do
00:03:32and that's exactly what they're going to do tonight.
00:03:35Absolutely.
00:03:35Yeah.
00:03:37Now, Kyle, it is more than just the vocals on Idol.
00:03:41You're looking for stage presence, confidence, charisma,
00:03:44the complete package, right?
00:03:45Plus the reverse energy that they can master from the crowd.
00:03:49Because a lot of people can sing,
00:03:51a lot of people can strut around and do their thing,
00:03:52but do they have the energy and the backing of the audience?
00:03:56That's a big part of making money out of this business.
00:03:58All right, well, we are going to find out tonight for sure.
00:04:01All right, well, let's kick things off
00:04:03with our very first singer of the night.
00:04:05This Adelaide school teacher and mother
00:04:07has blown us away every single time she performs.
00:04:12Her very first audition moved the judges to tears
00:04:15and got millions of views online.
00:04:18Will Samela style up and step up
00:04:21to secure a place in the top 12?
00:04:23Well, let's find out.
00:04:31I have never experienced an audition like that.
00:04:36Yeah, wow.
00:04:38Oh, you guys.
00:04:40Yeah, wow.
00:04:41Hello.
00:04:42How are you?
00:04:42Welcome to Top 21.
00:04:44How's this all looked here?
00:04:45It's huge.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:46I'm excited.
00:04:47Yesterday I was doing kindy drop-off
00:04:49and teaching a Year 7 class
00:04:52and now I'm in the Top 21.
00:04:54I'm living a double life.
00:04:56It's unreal.
00:04:56I'm not sure if you know this yet,
00:04:58but you are our first performer
00:05:02of Top 21, Transformation Week.
00:05:04Good.
00:05:07Oh, my.
00:05:08First one.
00:05:09Yeah, first one.
00:05:10We're good.
00:05:10You got this.
00:05:11You got this.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:12For Transformation Week, I'm singing Alive by Sia.
00:05:15This song is the biggest song I've probably ever sung.
00:05:18Sia does nothing in halves.
00:05:21And neither am I.
00:05:22Yeah?
00:05:23There are a lot of high notes in this song
00:05:25and it's testing me.
00:05:26It's pushing me to my limits.
00:05:28Your face told me that that note was coming.
00:05:31So don't let us know.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Just don't ever think that.
00:05:34This is unlike anything I've ever done before.
00:05:37The band, the massive stage,
00:05:38and I need to be on point.
00:05:40It is a little bit of pressure.
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43But I can't wait to see your transformation.
00:05:45And you'll be the first.
00:05:46Yeah, I bet.
00:05:47I don't get to dress up as a mum.
00:05:50Because it.
00:05:52Nope.
00:05:53This is beautiful.
00:05:54Hello.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:56Look at this Greek.
00:05:57I love them.
00:05:58Last time I wore a gown was definitely my wedding dress.
00:06:02They're a big, fat Greek wedding for sure.
00:06:04We're taking you out of your beautiful blazers.
00:06:06Out of school teacher mode.
00:06:07And we're going to put you in a gorgeous gown,
00:06:09a bit of sparkle,
00:06:10and watch you perform.
00:06:11When I go to work,
00:06:13for me, that's dressing up.
00:06:14Bit of mascara.
00:06:16Oh.
00:06:17Laser on.
00:06:18I'm ready.
00:06:19As a mum,
00:06:21it's this evolving thing
00:06:23to try to feel beautiful
00:06:25after you've had children.
00:06:26I absolutely lost my sense of identity
00:06:29because I was a mum.
00:06:30I put out all my effort into my children
00:06:32and I disappeared
00:06:33because I did that.
00:06:35Light me up.
00:06:37How do you think you'll feel in a gown?
00:06:39Honestly, like Cinderella.
00:06:41It will be the glass slipper moment.
00:06:43What do you think the hubby
00:06:44and the kids are going to feel?
00:06:46They're going to be like,
00:06:47whoa, like this is,
00:06:48who is that,
00:06:49who is that woman?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:50They will be proud, yeah.
00:06:53They've probably never seen mummy like this,
00:06:55so to show off
00:06:57what I look like
00:06:57and who I am
00:06:58will be amazing.
00:06:59It's going to be
00:07:00a transformation
00:07:01that's deeper
00:07:02than a physical transformation,
00:07:04absolutely.
00:07:05I hope they see this
00:07:06and they're like,
00:07:06shivers.
00:07:07Yeah, look at my mum.
00:07:08Like, cool.
00:07:10She's cool.
00:07:11She did great things.
00:07:16She's a mum
00:07:17and schoolteacher
00:07:18stepping up her style.
00:07:20In the classroom,
00:07:21she inspires her students.
00:07:23Tonight,
00:07:23she's inspiring us all.
00:07:25Daring to tackle
00:07:26a sea of power ballad

00:12:34Oh they're here
00:12:35Where are they?
00:12:36Hi
00:12:38Hi darling
00:12:41Now I've got to just say quickly to my son
00:12:43He's in Perth visiting his 100 year old great grandfather
00:12:46Oh amazing
00:12:46He's watching
00:12:47You've seen Dada
00:12:48Off to bed now
00:12:49How good is she?
00:12:50She's great
00:12:50Bedtime now
00:12:51I like it
00:12:52Keep these kids up
00:12:53They're rock and roll kids now
00:12:54Time for nanny
00:12:55I love it
00:12:56Alright well Samella has certainly set the bar high
00:12:59But will she make it into the top 12?
00:13:02We will find out from the judges at the end of tonight's show
00:13:07Give it up for Samella
00:13:09Thank you guys
00:13:13What a way to kick off the show
00:13:16It is electric in here
00:13:17How's everyone feeling?
00:13:21Alright up next
00:13:22He is the teenage busker from Manly in New South Wales
00:13:26It is Tayo
00:13:31You're like an actual proper musician at 15
00:13:36Since last week you might have noticed a couple different things that might have changed for me
00:13:43I'm now brace free
00:13:44I've turned 16
00:13:45Means that I can drive
00:13:47I think my life actually has changed quite a lot since I auditioned for Idol
00:13:51People have been recognising me especially at school
00:13:56Yo!
00:13:58My friends Richard and Lachlan are from my school
00:14:00I think they definitely have been very very supportive for me
00:14:03Where do you guys think I am right now?
00:14:04Hey
00:14:05Is that backstage?
00:14:07Yes I am backstage
00:14:08If I were at school right now I'd probably be in math class
00:14:11How was it math class without me?
00:14:13Oh my god
00:14:14It was so long
00:14:15I'm so sorry guys
00:14:16That really sucks
00:14:18I'm so sad
00:14:24And for transformation week I'm going to be singing Forget You by CeeLo Green
00:14:37How was that?
00:14:39Oh that was good but I still felt like I kind of got you know blown away a little bit
00:14:43And then I kind of ran out of breath at some point
00:14:45I need to be careful not to be swallowed by the band
00:14:48Okay
00:14:48So that's definitely something that I have to work on
00:14:50You did get swallowed by the band
00:14:52Yeah
00:14:52I just reckon you can go a little bit
00:14:55Yeah
00:14:55Okay
00:14:56Well the band is definitely pretty loud
00:14:59Which you know has kind of pushed me to you know try to sing you know with more power
00:15:04I think I might just need to focus a bit more on like to have a bit more power in
00:15:08my voice
00:15:08And still have that stability
00:15:09I think that's the hardest part
00:15:10I'm afraid that maybe on the day I might get swallowed up especially with the crowd too
00:15:16So I'm a little bit worried about that
00:15:18Because as soon as you do these these are the kind of microphones that as soon as you take it
00:15:22away
00:15:22It's like you could be anywhere you could be in the shower it's like some far away place
00:15:28My goal is to show that even if I am just the youngest guy here
00:15:33I can transform into something bigger and that I shouldn't be underestimated
00:15:42As a busker he normally performs for pocket money but tonight he's playing for a place in the top 12
00:15:48With his proud family looking on and looking very sharp this evening
00:15:52This is Taiyo
00:16:03I say I'm from and wrong town with the girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:10Yeah
00:16:11I'm sorry I cannot hold a variety
00:16:15But I don't mean I can get you there
00:16:18I guess he's an expert
00:16:20Yeah
00:16:20You're no more Atari
00:16:22But the way he'll play your game's unfair
00:16:25I'm picturing a bird
00:16:28That falls in love with you
00:16:30Yeah
00:16:30Oh
00:16:31Well
00:16:32Just don't just don't
00:16:34Ooh
00:16:34Ooh

00:16:38Yeah
00:16:38She's gonna run and tell your little boyfriend
00:16:40I say you're drowning round town with the girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:47Yeah
00:16:48I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough so I might forget you
00:16:54Yeah
00:16:55Girl now baby baby baby why you wanna wanna hurt me so bad
00:17:00So bad
00:17:02So bad

00:17:13Yeah
00:17:18Yeah
00:17:18Yeah
00:17:19Yeah
00:17:19Yeah
00:17:20Yeah
00:17:20Yeah
00:17:20Yeah
00:17:21Yeah
00:17:22Yeah
00:17:22Yeah
00:17:29Yeah
00:17:36Yeah
00:17:37Yeah
00:17:43Yeah
00:17:44Yeah
00:17:46Yeah
00:17:46Yeah
00:17:47Yeah
00:17:47Yeah

00:17:48Yeah
00:17:48Yeah
00:17:48Yeah
00:17:49Yeah
00:17:50Yeah
00:17:50Yeah
00:17:50Yeah
00:17:52And I'll forget you, ha-ha
00:18:04Well done.
00:18:06Nice work.
00:18:10Tayo, hello. Hello, buddy.
00:18:13It feels like you've doubled in age since the audition.
00:18:17Thank you so much.
00:18:18Time goes quick, but you had the pacifier when we met you.
00:18:22And did you say you can get a licence now?
00:18:25Yes, I can.
00:18:26So driving round town with the girl you love, with an L plate and your mum.
00:18:31Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:33It's not quite the vibe of CeeLo Green,
00:18:35but I think you made that youthful, energetic, young.
00:18:39It's great to see you.
00:18:41And the braces, it makes a big difference.
00:18:43Yes, finally gone.
00:18:44Finally.
00:18:44How long did you have those little babies for?
00:18:46Probably about 19 months and not too long.
00:18:49Yeah, not too long.
00:18:49But, yeah.
00:18:50Parents wouldn't pay for the Invisalign, hey?
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:53Hey.
00:18:54Good work, man.
00:18:55I thought that was, I was worried, you might not be able to pull that off,
00:18:58but you brought a youthful joy to it and I think you did a great job.
00:19:01Thank you so much.
00:19:08When you sat at the piano, the first thing I said to Carl was,
00:19:11this boy, because you are a professional busker,
00:19:14you've got so much idea of the space around you
00:19:18and what you've got to do to entertain.
00:19:20That in itself, my darling, is a gift.
00:19:23Thank you so much.
00:19:24You're welcome.
00:19:26The gift of making someone walk towards your open guitar case
00:19:30and put money into it.
00:19:31It's a gift.
00:19:31That's a big deal.
00:19:32That's a gift.
00:19:32Yeah, and you do it well.
00:19:34You do it very, very well.
00:19:35Thank you so much.
00:19:35And welcome to adulthood, no braces.
00:19:38Yes.
00:19:38At this point in time, yeah?
00:19:40Well done.
00:19:41I went through that too, man.
00:19:43I went through, like, the full-on braces.
00:19:46You had the things on your shoulders with the whole thing.
00:19:47I had everything.
00:19:48A whole helmet, yeah.
00:19:49Yeah, yeah.
00:19:50Real Zoolander vibes you had going.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:52Thanks, Kyle.
00:19:54No one Googled that.
00:19:57Tayo, you are so musically educated
00:20:00and it's really incredible to watch,
00:20:04but I'm confused by you only because a lot of the time
00:20:08in entertainment and in music, you get, like, this one shot.
00:20:13Sometimes people might get two.
00:20:15And in my head, I'm like, well, is his shot now?
00:20:18You could really take over now and really go for it,
00:20:21but then I'm like, but imagine him in a few more years.
00:20:23Like, you're going to be a weapon.
00:20:25And it doesn't mean you're not now.
00:20:27It's just in my mind, I'm like, when is this,
00:20:29when is this guy's shot?
00:20:32You know, because you are like a Bruno Mars.
00:20:35You're like, you could go nuclear.
00:20:37Thank you so much.
00:20:38You have got so much talent.
00:20:40It's so.
00:20:44Or you could go home at the end of the show.
00:20:46It's hard to tell.
00:20:47I think what I'm trying to say is, like, no matter what,
00:20:50like, you deserve to be here, but no matter what,
00:20:53you are, for your age, man, it's scary.
00:20:57Like, you are, you're wild.
00:20:58Like, he's been reincarnated or something.
00:21:01Like, he's done this before in a previous life.
00:21:02You're really weird today.
00:21:03Why are you being weird?
00:21:06Tayo, that was amazing.
00:21:07Well done.
00:21:08Thank you so, so much.
00:21:10Tayo!
00:21:11Tayo!
00:21:12Tayo!
00:21:12Tayo!
00:21:13Tayo!
00:21:13Did that feel good?
00:21:15That was amazing.
00:21:16Yeah.
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:17I mean, you're normally busking out on the street,
00:21:20but this is a whole new level.
00:21:23This is incredible.
00:21:25Normally busking is, like, maximum maybe 50 people.
00:21:28This is 1,500.
00:21:30And listen to them.
00:21:34Hey, hey.
00:21:35Pass, pass the hat around before the ad break.
00:21:38Pass the hat out.
00:21:38Go to Kyle first, I promise.
00:21:40You guys could do a little duo with what you're wearing.
00:21:43It's like you guys are...
00:21:44A little duo-up situation.
00:21:45That's funny.
00:21:46I mean, your biggest fans are here in the audience.
00:21:49Your parents and your sister, Saya.
00:21:52Fam, what did we think?
00:21:57Thumbs up?
00:21:58What did you think?
00:22:00That was awesome.
00:22:02Tayo, I'm so proud that you made it all the way to Top 21.
00:22:05So proud.
00:22:05Thank you so much.
00:22:05Merci beaucoup.
00:22:06Oh, I love it.
00:22:07Merci beaucoup.
00:22:08He's speaking in another language.
00:22:09Oh, my gosh.
00:22:11Oh, my gosh.
00:22:12What can't he do?
00:22:13All right.
00:22:14Well, is Tayo going to make it into the Top 12?
00:22:17Yes, yes.
00:22:18Stay tuned to hear what the judges decide at the end of the show.
00:22:22Give it up one more time, everybody, for Tayo.
00:22:28Congratulations.
00:22:29All right.
00:22:30Later in the show, it's our singing skier from Jindabyne, Kesha, and our pop punk Prince Achille.
00:22:38But next, she's our teenage country singer from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:22:45Lily Grace is putting a country spin on one of the biggest rock hits of all time.
00:22:52That's after the break.
00:22:53Don't go anywhere.
00:23:04This is Transformation Week, where our singers are powering up every aspect of their performance
00:23:10for a sought-after spot in the Top 12.
00:23:13Up next is our horse-riding country singer from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:23:18It's Lily Grace.
00:23:30It's Top 21, it's Transformation Week.
00:23:34This is my favourite week to watch.
00:23:38Mmm, bit of hair and make-up today.
00:23:39This is so exciting.
00:23:41I feel like every time, it's like, they look amazing.
00:23:45So now being here, it's like, oh, what are they gonna do to me?
00:23:50I've been in Tamwa for the country music festival.
00:23:54It's the country music capital.
00:23:56You know, I've been performing and just, like, learning as much as I can, just getting involved as much as
00:24:01I can.
00:24:02I'm a country music girl.
00:24:05Yeah, I mean, I love my hat.
00:24:07It really is my look, like, when I get out on a stage and I perform.
00:24:12This is it.
00:24:17This is pretty nuts.
00:24:18Hello.
00:24:20Hello.
00:24:20Hey, Grace.
00:24:21How are you?
00:24:22It's really real now.
00:24:23You know, like, this is like a, you know, a stage that any kind of huge famous person in this
00:24:28country or other countries could perform on, you know.
00:24:30It's a small crowd.
00:24:31There's 1,500 people here and everyone at home.
00:24:33So you're doing one of the most iconic rock songs ever.
00:24:38I'm gonna be singing, I Can't Get No Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones.
00:24:41Literally Grace Seasoning, you know how it is.
00:24:55Everyone wants to connect with you from the very back there to the people at the front here.
00:25:01The comments have been to connect and all those kinds of things.
00:25:05Eye contact is just, like, it's everything.
00:25:07I think it's important that you own that space.
00:25:11Yes.
00:25:12I'm just gonna throw a thought in there.
00:25:15Think about maybe losing the hat.
00:25:21Do you reckon?
00:25:23I mean, does that freak you out a little bit?
00:25:25A little bit.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:28When I'm singing, my hat can kind of do these ones with my eyes and it's like it's, I can't,
00:25:32like, deeply kind of connect with people from what I'm saying and, like, get people to believe it.
00:25:37You know, if I'm, that's blocked.
00:25:38I don't want you to hide behind and I get that it's your look.
00:25:42I just, just think about it.
00:25:45I think about it.
00:25:45That's all I'm saying.
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:47I'm not saying that I'm not gonna do it, but I want to be in top 12 so bad and
00:25:52I want to continue this journey, but it's a little bit scary.
00:25:55But who knows?
00:25:55Who knows?
00:25:56It's top 21.
00:25:57It's transformation week.
00:26:02Giddy up.
00:26:03This country girl has glammed up, ditched the hat and looks absolutely gorgeous.
00:26:09putting on a boot, scoot and spin on a Rolling Stones classic.
00:26:14This is Lily Grace.
00:26:28I can't get no satisfaction.
00:26:35I can't get no satisfaction.
00:26:41Cause I tried.
00:26:43I tried.
00:26:45And I tried.
00:26:47And I tried.
00:26:48And I tried.
00:26:49And I tried.
00:26:49I can't get no.
00:26:51I can't get no.
00:26:55When I'm driving in my car.
00:26:59Then a man comes on the radio
00:27:03Telling me more and more
00:27:05About some years left's information
00:27:09Supposed to find my imagination
00:27:12I can't get no
00:27:16No, no, no
00:27:21Hey, that's what I say
00:27:27I can't get no
00:27:32Satisfaction
00:27:33I can't get no
00:27:39Satisfaction
00:27:40Cause I tried
00:27:41And I tried
00:27:43And I tried
00:27:45And I tried
00:27:46I can't get no
00:27:49I can't get no
00:27:53I can't get no
00:27:56No, no, no, no
00:27:58I can't get no
00:27:59No satisfaction
00:28:00I can't get no
00:28:02Listen to me when I'm saying
00:28:04I can't get no
00:28:06I say it to you every day
00:28:08I can't get no
00:28:09No, no, no
00:28:11No, no, no
00:28:12No, no, no, no, no
00:28:20No, no, no, no, no, no
00:28:21Thank you so much
00:28:25Oh my, oh my
00:28:32Well, Miss Lily Grace talk about a transformation
00:28:40Oh, wow, you're bigger than that hat
00:28:42I mean, the hat's cute and everything
00:28:44But Lord have mercy
00:28:45You look good
00:28:46Thank you so much
00:28:47You look really good
00:28:49You know, and you look really comfortable
00:28:50Doing
00:28:51I'm so glad that you came
00:28:52From behind the microphone
00:28:53And showed us who you were
00:28:54Do you know what I mean?
00:28:55It's all about your performance
00:28:57You know what I mean?
00:28:58You can't
00:28:59You don't have to do that
00:29:00Every song
00:29:00But when it comes to a song like that
00:29:02The Rolling Stones
00:29:03You better represent
00:29:04Well done, honey
00:29:05Thank you so much
00:29:08That was so awesome, Lily Grace
00:29:11Thank you
00:29:12Like, I, um
00:29:13I mean, and I know a thing or two about having a look
00:29:15That's really hard to, um, detach from
00:29:18The thing is, you've got to lose something
00:29:20In order for people to miss it
00:29:21You know what I mean?
00:29:22So I think, um
00:29:24I lost my good looks
00:29:26No, you've still got them, Kyle
00:29:27Don't worry
00:29:27Don't worry
00:29:28I agree with Marsha
00:29:29You, you just look like an absolute professional out there
00:29:32What I really loved seeing
00:29:33Was the little package beforehand
00:29:35They played
00:29:36You were still playing gigs
00:29:38You're doing Australian Idol
00:29:39And you're still working
00:29:40And that's like
00:29:41That's the key thing to dominate this show
00:29:44Is like
00:29:44We can only do so much
00:29:47We can present you to the country
00:29:48They can see how great you are
00:29:49But if you're not doing the extra leg work
00:29:51Like, you're shooting yourself in your foot
00:29:54And I think you're
00:29:55You know this
00:29:56And I can see how seriously you take it
00:29:59I, I would be confident
00:30:00Just sending you out
00:30:02Into the big bad world on tour
00:30:03And making records already
00:30:06Thank you so much
00:30:06You were so ready for this lifestyle
00:30:08Thank you so much
00:30:13I, I also was nervous
00:30:16Because I liked the hat
00:30:17And I know it's you
00:30:18And I, and then you're like
00:30:19I'm a country girl
00:30:20It's like a badge
00:30:21Yeah
00:30:21Um, but
00:30:22It was the right choice
00:30:24To lose the hat
00:30:25You've still got your country vibe
00:30:27You're still doing an amazing job
00:30:29Great big vocal
00:30:31And even in this room
00:30:31With 1500 people in it
00:30:33It's a big auditorium
00:30:35Make some noise everyone
00:30:38It's, it's, it's
00:30:39Sometimes hard in the room
00:30:41Sometimes hard sitting here
00:30:43When the crowd get, go crazy
00:30:45And start roaring
00:30:46I'm, I'm, it'll mix nice on TV
00:30:48But I thought it was great
00:30:50Powerful
00:30:50You're still you
00:30:52Without the hat
00:30:53And we still loved every minute of it
00:30:55Look at you, bro
00:30:55I still want to say that
00:30:56I still love the hat
00:30:57Just
00:30:57Yeah, don't, don't lose the hat forever
00:30:59Don't lose the hat forever
00:30:59It's not gone forever
00:31:00But it's transformation week
00:31:02So
00:31:02Oh, that's good attitude
00:31:04Good attitude
00:31:05Very good
00:31:05Thank you so much
00:31:08Yeehaw
00:31:09Lily Grace
00:31:11I watched you in rehearsals
00:31:13But that
00:31:13Just took it up
00:31:15To a whole other level
00:31:16You are made for the stage, girlfriend
00:31:18How do you think that went?
00:31:20I couldn't
00:31:20I mean, good
00:31:21This is insane
00:31:22Like, this is crazy
00:31:23I can't really get over it
00:31:24Like, I could
00:31:27I'm just, I'm a bit starstruck
00:31:28By you and everyone
00:31:29And everyone here
00:31:30But it's good
00:31:30And, and, ditto
00:31:31Ditto
00:31:32That was incredible
00:31:33Now, your mum
00:31:34Is your best friend
00:31:35Which I just think is adorable
00:31:36And she goes to all of your gigs
00:31:38So, of course
00:31:39She is here tonight
00:31:41Susie
00:31:42What did you think
00:31:44Of Lily Grace's transformation
00:31:45And that performance?
00:31:48I'm just going to get my heart
00:31:49Out of my mouth
00:31:50I'm just like
00:31:51Blow it away
00:31:52I'm shaking
00:31:52And the heart's going crazy
00:31:54But that was incredible, darling
00:31:55You know

00:33:21Orange beanie
00:33:22From Perth
00:33:24Western Australia
00:33:25This is Charlie
00:33:31That was beautiful
00:33:33So much real emotion
00:33:37It's transformation week
00:33:39And that means for me
00:33:40Leveling up
00:33:41What do we got
00:33:42Transforming to something different
00:33:44Spins
00:33:46That is interesting
00:33:47Cool
00:33:49Okay
00:33:50Just as long
00:33:51As it's subtle
00:33:52That's great
00:33:53Can we keep this
00:33:54For the whole show
00:33:55Whoa
00:33:57Orange beanie man
00:33:58Tried on some different looks
00:34:00And
00:34:01It can't be the classic
00:34:05Good to see you
00:34:07How's it all feel
00:34:08Pretty surreal
00:34:09Yeah
00:34:10The top 21 of Australia
00:34:11It's really exciting
00:34:12But at the same time
00:34:13I feel like it's
00:34:14It's a lot of pressure
00:34:14What's your song
00:34:15My song's got a little help
00:34:16From my friends
00:34:17What a great song
00:34:18It's an amazing song
00:34:19What's your connection
00:34:20The song's very poignant to me
00:34:22Because
00:34:22I've had some really tough times
00:34:24In the last couple years
00:34:25With my parents
00:34:26And my friends have been
00:34:27Just shoe supporters
00:34:28Through that time
00:34:29They're really there for me
00:34:30And
00:34:30I'm using this
00:34:32Performance in a way
00:34:33To let them know
00:34:33That
00:34:35I'm so
00:34:36So grateful for them
00:34:46It can feel a bit aggressive
00:34:47And shouty
00:34:48If you stay on that one note
00:34:49I see, I see
00:34:50Yeah
00:34:51It might feel like
00:34:51You're being joyous
00:34:52Because you feel joy inside
00:34:55But
00:34:55Your face
00:34:56Your face
00:34:57Your face says
00:34:58Aggressive
00:34:59Yeah
00:34:59I've been told that
00:35:00I'm resting serious face
00:35:02And you know
00:35:02People are like
00:35:02You're okay
00:35:03I'm like
00:35:03No, no
00:35:03I'm fine
00:35:04But I just have to learn
00:35:05To turn that off
00:35:07I want everyone to feel
00:35:08The hope
00:35:09So just
00:35:10Don't go into yourself
00:35:12Too much
00:35:12Okay, yeah, yeah
00:35:12Closing your eyes
00:35:13As soon as you close your eyes
00:35:14You close people off
00:35:15This is more than
00:35:17Just a song for me
00:35:18I need to
00:35:20Translate
00:35:21The love and gratitude
00:35:22I have for my friends
00:35:22In this performance
00:35:23And work on
00:35:24Bringing that
00:35:25That joy out
00:35:26It's life changing
00:35:27Doing this stuff, man
00:35:29So it's like
00:35:30I've got to
00:35:31Bust my arse
00:35:32To make sure
00:35:32I get in there
00:35:33I want to make my friends
00:35:34Super proud of this performance
00:35:35They were there for me
00:35:36When nobody else was
00:35:38You know
00:35:39They have my back
00:35:40I don't want them to see
00:35:41How much
00:35:41I value them
00:35:43Having my back
00:35:48Looking a million bucks
00:35:49And still rocking
00:35:51His signature beanie
00:35:52Taking on a song
00:35:53By the most successful band
00:35:55In the world
00:35:56The Beatles
00:35:56From Perth
00:35:58Western Australia
00:35:59This is
00:36:00Charlie
00:36:14What would you do
00:36:16If I sang
00:36:18How to tune
00:36:19Would you stand up
00:36:21And walk
00:36:22Out on me
00:36:26Lemme your ears
00:36:28And I'll sing you a song
00:36:30And I'll try not to sing
00:36:33At a key
00:36:36Oh, I can't buy
00:36:38I'm gonna get high with my friends
00:36:44I'm gonna get high with my friends
00:36:47I'm gonna get high with my friends
00:36:49I'm gonna get high with my friends
00:36:59I'm gonna get high with my friends
00:37:19Somebody, oh, who knows just where I'm going, yeah.
00:37:23Somebody who knows just what I'll show them.
00:37:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:37:31Oh, I get fire with a little help from my friends.
00:37:36You know I'm gonna get high with.
00:37:39Fire with a little help from my friends.
00:37:42You know I'm gonna try.
00:37:45Fire with a little help from my friends.
00:37:48Oh, I get fire with a little help from my friends.
00:37:54You know I get by, my friends.
00:38:14Wow.
00:38:25Charlie, you're like an accomplished artist.
00:38:29I feel that watching you tonight,
00:38:32it's like you've been doing this for 20 years,
00:38:35week in, week out, effortless.
00:38:37Great performance, great song choice.
00:38:41Beautiful delivery and a great message.
00:38:44We all need to get by with a little help from our friends.
00:38:47Yes, we do.
00:38:47We do, for sure.
00:38:48This week has been tough for me.
00:38:49I've had a falling out with a very close friend.
00:38:53And how's your dad, by the way?
00:38:55My dad, he's really good.
00:38:56He's rooting for me at home.
00:38:57He's a fighter.
00:38:58I love it.
00:38:59I love it.
00:39:00He's so proud.
00:39:01It was brilliant, Charlie.
00:39:02I totally enjoyed it.
00:39:03Thank you so much.
00:39:04Thank you very much.
00:39:06I agree, Kyle.
00:39:07That was, that was something else, man.
00:39:11Like, I have had, you know, a few, well, lots of moments on this show
00:39:16since I've been on it.
00:39:17But, like, that is something I will never forget.
00:39:19Just because you've got this, you've got this miracle tone
00:39:25that people just want to hear you sing.
00:39:28Wow.
00:39:28And that's, that's what you did.
00:39:29And you just did, you just did it so beautifully.
00:39:33Like, there's no tricks with you.
00:39:35It's just so who you are.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:38Like, just, it's just so who you are.
00:39:40And I won't forget that.
00:39:41That was, that was really, really incredible, man.
00:39:44Well, thank you so much.
00:39:45Thank you so much.
00:39:46You know, it said in life, you can't choose your family,
00:39:50but you can choose your friends.
00:39:51Yes, ma'am.
00:39:52You know, and friends get you through stuff thick or thin.
00:39:56You know, they'll love you regardless.
00:39:57I think there's something incredible about you.
00:40:01And Kyle actually said it.
00:40:02It's just effortless, you know.
00:40:04And one of the most important things, you guys,
00:40:06about a performer is you're honest.
00:40:10Yeah.
00:40:11No frills.
00:40:12I don't want frills.
00:40:13I just want heart.
00:40:16Charlie, I'm going to give you my fast pass.
00:40:30Yeah.
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:38Congratulations, Charlie.
00:40:40Wow.
00:40:42Thank you so much.
00:40:43Oh, wow.
00:40:44I want to say some words I shouldn't say on TV.
00:40:46Please don't.
00:40:46Please don't.
00:40:47Please don't.
00:40:47Let me take it from here.
00:40:48Charlie, you just received Marsha's fast pass.
00:40:52You are automatically straight through to the top 12.
00:40:57Congratulations, my friend.
00:40:58How does that feel?
00:41:00Unbelievable.
00:41:01I'm in shock.
00:41:05This is crazy.
00:41:06This is crazy for me, you know.
00:41:09I'm in my 30s.
00:41:10This is the last roll of the dice.
00:41:11It means the world to me.
00:41:13Thank you so much, you know.
00:41:16You deserve it, Charlie.
00:41:17That was...
00:41:20When Marsha closes her eyes and sits back in her chair,
00:41:24you know she's really feeling something.
00:41:26What would you like to say to Marsha?
00:41:28Oh, I'm just so in honour of your decision, you know.
00:41:32It's so wonderful to hear these comments from you guys.
00:41:35It just...
00:41:36It means the world to me.
00:41:37Thank you so much.
00:41:38You deserve it, man.
00:41:40Oh, no.
00:41:42Alright.
00:41:43Well, Charlie, we cannot wait to see you perform again live
00:41:48next week in the top 12.
00:41:53Head on over to the lounge and celebrate with the others.
00:41:56Australia officially in the top 12.
00:41:59It's Charlie.
00:42:03Oh, how good is that?
00:42:05Okay.
00:42:06So far, we've seen Samela, Tayo, Lily Grace and Charlie perform
00:42:10for the judges.
00:42:11But next, it's Jamie's turn.
00:42:13She is straight out of the 70s in style and sound.
00:42:17And our Gold Coast girl, Jamie, is transforming
00:42:20and taking on an iconic anthem.
00:42:22We cannot wait to see this one.
00:42:25Australian Idol is back in a moment.
00:42:37It's Transformation Week on Idol and we are halfway through
00:42:42tonight's show with just a few singers left to perform.
00:42:45And then we find out who will make the top 12 and sing at next week's live shows.
00:42:51Our next singer vying for one of those spots is someone who lives and breathes all things 70s.
00:42:58From the Gold Coast, this is Jamie.
00:43:04I feel the earth, whoo, I love my feet.
00:43:08You've got those from your vibe.
00:43:09That's who you are.
00:43:15It feels amazing to be in the Australian Idol Top 21.
00:43:19I'm so excited to be here.
00:43:21This has always been my number one passion.
00:43:24To have this opportunity is awesome.
00:43:26I'm really wanting to transform my vocals this week.
00:43:30What song are you singing?
00:43:31I'm singing I'm Every Woman by Shaka Khan.
00:43:34What a great song.
00:43:35Yeah.
00:43:36She is my style icon, vocal icon, all of it.
00:43:39I'm pretty sure if my information and my sources are correct.
00:43:43Marsha opened for Shaka Khan in about 2008.
00:43:47Oh my God.
00:43:48Just a little.
00:43:49No pressure.
00:43:50Yeah, the pressure is on with that knowledge.
00:43:53Marsha gave me some criticism on the last performance.
00:43:57A lot of your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:44:02You know, you don't have to do that.
00:44:05She's scared of you.
00:44:07I do.
00:44:08Marsha is on my mind this whole week.
00:44:11Like I just want to impress her so bad.
00:44:14I'm going to take on Marsha's advice and not need to do all the vocal gymnastics.
00:44:18I can just sing the song.
00:44:24So I think it's finding that balance between like what Marsha said,
00:44:28which would not go too much, but I think you should.
00:44:30I think you can throw something in there.
00:44:32She wants this crazy good.
00:44:33I'm not sure if I'm playing it too safe or if I need to add more.
00:44:37Like everyone's telling me stuff and I'm like, yep, yep, yep.
00:44:41Got it.
00:44:42Got it.
00:44:42Got it.
00:44:42Okay.
00:44:44I can add a little bit of Jamie.
00:44:46Like I don't want to go to the opposite end of the scale.
00:44:49If I fail to impress Marsha, it could be the end of the road for me.
00:44:52So this show means a lot to me and I'm praying that I go well.
00:45:01She's bringing the 70s groove, grit and glamour to the idle stage.
00:45:06Tonight, she's dialling up the disco with an iconic hit from the legendary Shaka Khan.
00:45:11Looking oh so chic.
00:45:13This is Jamie.
00:45:15She's in 있습니다.
00:45:43I can cast a spell of secrets you can't tell
00:45:48Makes a special proof of fire inside of you
00:45:53But any time you feel danger or fear
00:45:56Insolent, I will be a god
00:46:00I'm everyone, it's all about me
00:46:06Anything if I'm done crazy, I'll do it naturally
00:46:18I ain't cracking, cause I don't know what
00:46:24Dispire to me, and it shall be done
00:46:28To compare, I've got it
00:46:35I'm everyone, I'm everyone
00:46:44I'm every woman
00:46:48I'm every woman
00:46:52I'm every woman
00:46:54I'm every woman
00:46:55I'm every woman
00:47:03I'm every woman
00:47:07I'm every woman
00:47:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:21Whoa.
00:47:26Jamie, far out.
00:47:27She means business.
00:47:29That was, that was great.
00:47:32I, I, it's hard to like, watch this season
00:47:36because everyone is just so good.
00:47:38Like everyone has really stepped up.
00:47:42Um, you should be really proud of that.
00:47:44That was confident.
00:47:44You look incredible.
00:47:46You know, you know, you know your genre.
00:47:49Um, well done.
00:47:51I don't really have anything else to say.
00:47:53Thank you so much.
00:47:53That just, that was, that was really strong.
00:47:55Thank you so much.
00:48:02Jamie, I say this to you from my heart.
00:48:05If I criticize you, it's to try and make you a better singer.
00:48:10You know, I, I don't enjoy telling another singer what to do,
00:48:15but I have a vague idea of how it's done.
00:48:18Right?
00:48:19So whatever I did say to you, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings
00:48:22because I didn't mean to, you know.
00:48:24And look, you know, most of the time in performance,
00:48:27when someone does criticize you, take what you can from it
00:48:31and learn to step up.
00:48:33Don't take it personal.
00:48:34Okay, honey?
00:48:35Yeah, for sure.
00:48:36I've just learned so much from you.
00:48:38Oh, God bless you.
00:48:38And I appreciate every single thing that you have said to me
00:48:40because it's just been a life-changing experience.
00:48:43And I'm a better singer because of you and the judges.
00:48:46So I appreciate you so much.
00:48:48You're also so mean, Marsha.
00:48:50So mean.
00:48:53You look great.
00:48:54The shimmering, the vocal was great.
00:48:56The only thing I'm worried about, vocally, nothing wrong.
00:48:59You performed well.
00:49:00You used up all the stage.
00:49:02You shimmied and danced.
00:49:03Everything was good.
00:49:04But I just worry that I don't want you to slip through the cracks
00:49:08on a night like tonight.
00:49:10Was, I'm not saying boring is not the word, but is it forgettable?
00:49:15Because you're not forgettable.
00:49:16You've got everything that you need.
00:49:19I just don't know whether you're going to stand out from the pack tonight.
00:49:22I hope you do because you're a great artist.
00:49:25Sure.
00:49:25But we'll find out at the end of the night.
00:49:27Good luck.
00:49:31Jamie, that performance was awesome.
00:49:32And you're a whole lot of woman.
00:49:34That was awesome.
00:49:35How did that feel for you?
00:49:36Oh, it felt so amazing to sing one of my idols' songs.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:39This is my song.
00:49:40I love this song to bits.
00:49:42So this has just been such a privilege to come out here
00:49:44and perform it on television, you know?
00:49:47You look amazing and you look so comfortable up here on stage.
00:49:50Jamie, what would it mean to get through to the top 12?
00:49:53Oh, this would be life-changing, honestly.
00:49:55I've been singing since I was a kid.
00:49:57I would be proving this to her, you know, that she can do this.
00:50:02So, honestly, it would just be life-changing.
00:50:04It means so much, yeah.
00:50:05All right.
00:50:06Well, you put it all on the line on this stage tonight.
00:50:10But let's hope it was enough to get you into next week's live shows.
00:50:14And we're going to find out at the end of the night.
00:50:16Everybody, give it up one more time for Jamie!
00:50:22Well, it is vibing in here tonight.
00:50:24And if you want to be in here, you can get your free tickets
00:50:27at australianidol.com.au.
00:50:30OK, up next, he is the pop-punk rocker bidding to become
00:50:33the next Australian Idol.
00:50:35For Transformation Week, Achille linked up with some megastar VIPs
00:50:39to power up his performance.
00:50:41It's a surprise you won't see coming.
00:50:44Idol is back in a moment.
00:50:56You're watching Idol, and tonight our singers are hoping
00:51:00to secure a spot in the top 12.
00:51:03Then, next week, we hand over the reins to you
00:51:06to start voting for your winner.
00:51:09Could our next singer go all the way?
00:51:11Well, Achille from Sydney chose a song by pop-punk rocker's
00:51:16Good Charlotte, and get this.
00:51:18He had the amazing opportunity to meet them
00:51:21for tips and tricks on levelling up for Transformation Week.
00:51:26Check it out.
00:51:27Woo!
00:51:31Achille, pop-punk.
00:51:33My kind of guy.
00:51:37This week is Top 21 Transformation Week,
00:51:40and I'm going to be singing Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
00:51:43by Good Charlotte.
00:51:44Yeah, and I'm actually off to meet the guys.
00:51:47They're a massive pop-punk band, and, like,
00:51:49these are people I grew up listening to,
00:51:51and, like, the fact that I get this opportunity to, like,
00:51:53go see them, oh, it's actually, it's mental to me, like,
00:51:56even being in the same space as them, you know?
00:51:59I'm here to get advice from them for my song,
00:52:01how I can perform it better,
00:52:03and maintain my energy, but also control the performance
00:52:06and make sure it's all-rounded.
00:52:07I'm off to see Good Charlotte, baby!
00:52:17They're a massive, massive band, you know?
00:52:20They're just where I want to be in life.
00:52:22Wow.
00:52:23What's up, man?
00:52:24Hey, guys.
00:52:25Can I give you guys a big hug?
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27Of course, yeah.
00:52:28Right now, I feel like I'm in a dream.
00:52:29Like, this doesn't feel real.
00:52:31Can you do a performance so that we can watch
00:52:33and we can sort of give you sort of our best, like, help?
00:52:37100%, man.
00:52:38Yeah, okay, okay.
00:52:39I genuinely care.
00:52:40I'm performing your song in front of you guys.
00:52:42Yeah, yeah.
00:52:42Great. Let's do it.
00:52:43It is super, super important that I get advice from these guys.
00:52:46Always see it on TV, read it in the magazine.
00:52:50Because they know the best, and they're gonna help me out a lot
00:52:53in terms of performing on Australian Idol.
00:52:55I think that some of these judges are sensing from you
00:52:58you're staying in the chaos mode.
00:52:59Yes.
00:53:00Through the whole song.
00:53:01Last time, I did not live up to the expectations
00:53:03because I was doing too much.
00:53:05I think what happens is you start to lose breath.
00:53:08The melody gets lost, the lyrics in the story gets lost.
00:53:12So what I would do is I would just, I would calm down.
00:53:16On that verse, I would take the opportunity to connect
00:53:18with some people.
00:53:19And then on the chorus, that's when you hype everybody up.
00:53:23Do you know what I mean?
00:53:24Yeah, 100%.
00:53:25It's finding your moments.
00:53:26You don't need to hype everybody all the time.
00:53:28Obviously, like, I feel a lot of pressure in the back of my head
00:53:31when I'm hearing all the advice and everything that I can improve on
00:53:33because at this stage of the competition, like,
00:53:35there's no room for mistakes.
00:53:37It's all up to me now.
00:53:38You practice, practice, practice, but then...
00:53:42go, bro.
00:53:43All right, brother.
00:53:44I really appreciate it.
00:53:45We'll see you at the show tonight.
00:53:47I'm, wait, I'm actually...
00:53:49So you'll be our guest at the show tonight?
00:53:51I'm going to the show tonight as well.
00:53:53That's, that's nuts, like...
00:53:54No, I think I'm...
00:53:56We'll make sure you have the best vantage point
00:53:58and maybe, maybe you learn something,
00:54:00maybe you learn some things you don't want to do, all right?
00:54:01Yeah.
00:54:02They have, like, 30 years of experience in this industry
00:54:04and it's, like, an incredible opportunity to learn how to conform well
00:54:07and really deliver the song.
00:54:11You know, I really want to stay in this competition
00:54:12because there's nothing in the world that gives me the same feeling
00:54:15as being on stage.
00:54:17So I have to balance jumping around stage
00:54:19and also singing at the same time.
00:54:20If I mess up for this performance, like, I'm going home
00:54:23and I know that, so I have to, like, make sure it's 100%.
00:54:31A new edge, new attitude and zero holding back.
00:54:35Tonight, he's unlocked his inner rebel
00:54:37to claim his spot in the top 12.
00:54:40This isn't a makeover, it's a takeover.
00:54:43From Sydney, this is Achille!
00:54:52I know, make some noise!
00:54:57Here we go!
00:55:00Oh, I see it on TV
00:55:02Reading in the magazine
00:55:05Celebrities, they want sympathy
00:55:09What they do is piss and moan
00:55:11Inside the rolling stone
00:55:13Talking about a hard life can be
00:55:18I'd like to see them spend a week
00:55:20Living life out on the street
00:55:22I don't think they will survive
00:55:25But they'd spend a day or two
00:55:29Walking in someone else's shoes
00:55:31A feeling stumble and they'd fall
00:55:34They would fall
00:55:37Sick!
00:55:41Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
00:55:43They're always complaining
00:55:45Always complaining
00:55:48If money is such a problem
00:55:52If money is such a problem
00:55:53We'll make our actions
00:55:54Think we should drop them
00:56:00Make some noise out there!
00:56:07Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:10Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:11They're always complaining
00:56:12Always complaining
00:56:14Always complaining
00:56:15If money is such a problem
00:56:19Because any problem
00:56:21Because any problem
00:56:21Think we can solve them
00:56:24Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:29Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:34Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:47Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:51Oh, man.
00:56:57Achille, what you bring to Australian Idol this year
00:57:00is this incredible, like, lust for life and youth.
00:57:04And it's beautiful to see, you know?
00:57:05I mean, it is, that's what rock and roll is to me.
00:57:08You know what I mean?
00:57:09It's important that, you know, you settled eventually,
00:57:12but you were breathless from the very beginning.
00:57:16Work it out, pace yourself, boyfriend, okay?
00:57:20And I think it was wonderful that the guys from Good Charlotte
00:57:23spoke to you and gave you some pointers.
00:57:26But just take your time.
00:57:28We know you're here.
00:57:29We want to see you be the best you can be, okay?
00:57:32That was great, man.
00:57:34I appreciate it.
00:57:34Thank you so much.
00:57:36Thank you, Marshall.
00:57:37You're welcome.
00:57:39Achille, I just honestly thank you
00:57:42because I never thought I would ever see pop punk
00:57:46on this kind of stage.
00:57:48And I'm enjoying every time I see you,
00:57:50you're just like, you love it so much.
00:57:53I can see how much you love this genre.
00:57:57I just think the passion is there.
00:57:59And I don't know what to do with you
00:58:01because it's such a unique thing to witness,
00:58:04but I love it.
00:58:05I don't know about you guys,
00:58:06but I just think you spinning around out there.
00:58:10The best thing about this show is we say this all the time,
00:58:15but it isn't about the voice.
00:58:16It's about do we believe that people are going to watch Achille
00:58:19and buy into what you're selling
00:58:22and be addicted to that energy?
00:58:24And I honestly kind of think they would
00:58:26because I just can't stop.
00:58:28When you start those spin arounds,
00:58:29I'm just like, this guy is a tornado.
00:58:32And I just, it's impressive.
00:58:35I think you need to still like what Marsha said
00:58:37and even what Benji and Joel said,
00:58:40the timings of things, you know,
00:58:42when to burst into energy and when to be still.
00:58:46I think that's still something you need to concentrate on,
00:58:48but the real stuff's there.
00:58:50The passion's there.
00:58:52And that's, you can't teach that.
00:59:00So, when Benji and Joel were first signed in the United States,
00:59:05the first port of call was Australia
00:59:08and two young boys walked into my Hot 30s studio back then
00:59:12and they were loose.
00:59:14I mean, they had the big hair and they were wild
00:59:17and I was like, look at these characters.
00:59:20They had a huge success with multiple bands.
00:59:24They'd both done extremely well.
00:59:27But, yeah, the tough bit is that you sucked up the energy,
00:59:32the fans, you had everyone behind you,
00:59:34but the vocal was not the strongest.
00:59:36But it doesn't have to be in that world.
00:59:39But where you probably went is,
00:59:41I saw you trying too hard to do a good vocal
00:59:44and I think you maybe came a little unstuck on yourself.
00:59:47You should have just gone full hectic.
00:59:49And when you do all this,
00:59:50I'm expecting something big to happen,
00:59:52but nothing happened.
00:59:53It was like a Jesus moment,
00:59:55but there was no rising.
00:59:56There was...
00:59:57I thought about jumping into the crowd,
00:59:58but I don't want to kill anyone, so...
01:00:00Listen, if you think it'll keep you in the contest,
01:00:03feel free to kill someone.
01:00:05Do whatever you need to do to stay in.
01:00:07Great energy, rubbish vocal,
01:00:09but that doesn't mean you're not going to keep in the contest.
01:00:12Good luck.
01:00:13Thank you, thank you.
01:00:14You're welcome.
01:00:16You're such a vibe, Achille.
01:00:19I don't know if I want to see him go to the next level.
01:00:22Go to the next level.
01:00:23That's tornado, hurricane level.
01:00:25You are such a vibe, Achille.
01:00:27My goodness.
01:00:28What was it like getting mentored
01:00:29by Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte?
01:00:32I tried to take on the advice, you know,
01:00:33there are, like, some people that have been in the business
01:00:35for so long, like, for example,
01:00:37looking at the crowd, connecting with them, you know,
01:00:39in specific moments.
01:00:40I tried to do that.
01:00:41Yeah.
01:00:41Yeah, I just appreciate the boys for giving me advice, you know.
01:00:44Did you have fun?
01:00:45I had so much fun.
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:47All right.
01:00:47Well, the boys are so cool, aren't they?
01:00:49Their latest album is amazing.
01:00:51You've got to go check it out.
01:00:52Now, Achille, I hear that your mum, dad, and brother Attila
01:00:58are in the audience tonight,
01:00:59and I hear it's their first time ever seeing you perform live.
01:01:03Is that right?
01:01:03It actually is, yeah.
01:01:04My goodness.
01:01:05Attila, what did you think of Achille?
01:01:08Um, so, yeah, it was our very first time watching him perform live
01:01:11and let alone perform on such a prestigious stage
01:01:14like Australian Idol,
01:01:15and we were just so, so extremely proud of him
01:01:18for finally, you know, reaching his dreams
01:01:20and chasing his dreams and shining so brightly on stage
01:01:23and being unapologetically himself.
01:01:25Thank you, fam.
01:01:26However, we've never supported him before.
01:01:30Tonight's the first time we've shown support.
01:01:34Mum, what did you think of his performance?
01:01:36It was amazing, Achille.
01:01:37It was amazing.
01:01:38I love you.
01:01:40I love you too, Mum.
01:01:42All right.
01:01:42Well, Achille, fingers crossed,
01:01:43you scored yourself a spot in the top 12 tonight.
01:01:47Everyone, give it up for Achille.
01:01:55Oh, how good was that?
01:01:56OK, surely the judges will make the impossible decision
01:02:00on who makes it to the top 12.
01:02:02Before that, we've got our final singer of the night.
01:02:06She's the singing skier from Jindabyne
01:02:09in the snowy mountains.
01:02:11Tonight, Kesha is taking on a global chart topper,
01:02:14one of the biggest songs of the last decade.
01:02:18Australian Idol is back in a moment.
01:02:30Welcome back to Transformation Week here on Idol.
01:02:33We have got just one singer left to perform.
01:02:37She's a small-town girl with Mum and Dad
01:02:41and half the ski town here tonight in the audience.
01:02:43I'm talking about our singing skier from Jindabyne.
01:02:47It is Kesha!
01:02:54Kesha, our skier from the snowy mountains.
01:02:58That was gorgeous.
01:03:02We're from a little country ski bum town.
01:03:05Jindy town is so supportive
01:03:08in sending me gorgeous messages.
01:03:10Go, Kesha!
01:03:11Do it for Jindabyne!
01:03:13Go, Kesha!
01:03:14Go, Kesha, sing your best.
01:03:17Yay!
01:03:18Kesha, you made the local paper.
01:03:20We're very excited to watch you in the Australian Idol.
01:03:23You!
01:03:24Hello!
01:03:27Hi!
01:03:28Hi, Kesha!
01:03:29How are you?
01:03:29Oh, this means the world.
01:03:31This has just been what I wanted to do
01:03:33since I could walk.
01:03:35Little seven-year-old Kesha
01:03:37who picked up her first red guitar
01:03:39and sung at Jindy Idol
01:03:41would be over the moon.
01:03:44Jindy Idol, this section was like...
01:03:46That was it?
01:03:47That was the stage?
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:48Okay.
01:03:48Talk to me about your song.
01:03:50I've got Take Me to Church.
01:03:51Josie Air.
01:03:52Josie Air, one of my favourite songs.
01:03:54Have you ever used...
01:03:56No.
01:03:56...these in ears?
01:03:57I've never used them.
01:03:58Okay, don't panic yourself.
01:04:00This is a new experience, having these ears.
01:04:03But it's super important
01:04:04because once a crowd's in here,
01:04:06you won't hear them
01:04:07if you don't have those in.
01:04:10How do I do it?
01:04:12Oh, my God.
01:04:20A lot going on in my ears.
01:04:23So, what are you focusing on in your ears?
01:04:26Are you listening for your pitch?
01:04:27Like, I'm not listening for anything.
01:04:29The ears are wigging me out.
01:04:31I think I'm thinking about
01:04:33trying to listen to too many things.
01:04:35The ears are a bit...
01:04:37It's a bit, like, hectic
01:04:39having to listen to 50 things at once.
01:04:41I've never really used that before.
01:04:45Don't panic yourself.
01:04:48It's too much.
01:04:51I can't cope.
01:04:57Stupid.
01:05:01There's just no room for muck-ups or mistakes.
01:05:05This is all I've ever wanted.
01:05:08I really want to make it to the top 12.
01:05:14She's the singing skier
01:05:16transforming on the Idol stage.
01:05:19Usually, she's conquering the slopes,
01:05:21but tonight, she's hoping for a peak performance.
01:05:24She's bold.
01:05:25She's fearless.
01:05:26She's about to hit top speed.
01:05:28This is Kesha.
01:05:36My love has got humor.
01:05:40She's a giggle at a funeral.
01:05:43Knows everybody's disapproval.
01:05:45I should have worshipped her sooner
01:05:48If the heavens ever did to speak
01:05:51She's the last true mouthpiece
01:05:54Every Sunday's getting more bleak
01:05:57A fresh poison each week
01:06:00I was born sick
01:06:02But I love it
01:06:04Command me to be well
01:06:19Take me to church
01:06:21I'll worship like a dog
01:06:23At the shrine of your lies
01:06:25I'll tell you my sins
01:06:27So you can sharpen your knife
01:06:29Offer me that deathless death
01:06:32Oh, good God
01:06:33Let me give you my life
01:06:36If I'm a pagan of the good times
01:06:40My love is the sunlight
01:06:42To keep the goddess on my side
01:06:45She demands a sacrifice
01:06:48This looks tasty
01:06:50This looks plenty
01:06:52This is hungry work
01:06:55Take me to church
01:06:59I'll worship like a dog
01:07:01At the shrine of your lies
01:07:03I'll tell you my sins
01:07:04So you can sharpen your knife
01:07:07Offer me that deathless death
01:07:09Oh, good God
01:07:10Let me give you my life
01:07:13Take me to church
01:07:14I'll worship like a dog
01:07:17At the shrine of your lies
01:07:18I'll tell you my sins
01:07:20So you can sharpen your knife
01:07:22Offer me that deathless death
01:07:25Good God
01:07:27Good God
01:07:27Let me give you my life
01:07:32Good God
01:07:41Let me give you my life
01:07:45Thank you
01:07:57Kesha
01:07:59Firstly
01:08:00Outfit, babe
01:08:02It's
01:08:03Killing it
01:08:04That looks amazing
01:08:05You're my inspiration
01:08:06Oh, damn
01:08:10Look, those ears
01:08:11In ears can be so isolating
01:08:14I was terrified of them
01:08:16For so long
01:08:17Me too
01:08:17And it's going to take you a minute
01:08:19To work out just the mix you want
01:08:22And I think for the singer that you are
01:08:25It's just always
01:08:26As long as you can hear your vocals
01:08:28All the time
01:08:29And I'm sure you got told that by Carmen
01:08:31And everyone
01:08:31But I think for someone who has not used them
01:08:35You crush that
01:08:36Thank you
01:08:37Like that would have been scary
01:08:40But
01:08:40It was different
01:08:41It was different
01:08:42Yeah
01:08:42And I think like considering
01:08:45Considering that
01:08:46That still to me
01:08:48Looked so effortless
01:08:50And I love that you just stood there
01:08:51Some people get really overwhelmed
01:08:53When they get to this part of the competition
01:08:55And they feel like they need to look like
01:08:57They've been doing it for years
01:08:58When we know they haven't
01:09:00So
01:09:00But you didn't try and do that
01:09:02You just focused
01:09:03And you stood still
01:09:04And you knew that you had this new problem
01:09:07And you were just like wanting to focus
01:09:08And I could see you doing that
01:09:10And I think
01:09:11I think it was just amazing
01:09:13I think you should be really proud of yourself
01:09:14Thank you so much
01:09:15That means a lot
01:09:16Thank you
01:09:20You know Kesha
01:09:21It's a new world
01:09:22When it comes to the in ear thing
01:09:25And I will drop
01:09:26One of the biggest names in the industry
01:09:28And his name is Tom Jones
01:09:30Tom Jones was the person
01:09:32Who told me 20 years ago
01:09:34Girlfriend you want to keep your voice
01:09:38Learn how to use in ears
01:09:39And I'm so sorry that it was frustrating
01:09:42And you've got to come here and perform
01:09:44But you've got to learn as you go honey
01:09:46And I think you tore that up
01:09:48Well done
01:09:49Thank you
01:09:50Thank you so much
01:09:55You ready for the truth?
01:09:57Do you say anything other than the truth?
01:09:59True, true
01:10:00So ready
01:10:01If that was your performance level
01:10:04While you're struggling
01:10:06To deal with that new
01:10:07Bit of technical equipment
01:10:09Then you're killing it in life
01:10:11Because that is freaking
01:10:13My favourite performance of the night
01:10:16You look incredible
01:10:17It's Xena Warrior Princess
01:10:19The vocal was great
01:10:20You put a very popular radio song in
01:10:23You gave it a little bit of a twitch
01:10:24And a flick
01:10:25But I loved it
01:10:26I ate up every bit of it
01:10:28You're a real contender
01:10:29That was excellent work
