00:00:15Australian Idol!
00:00:31Hello, I'm Ricky Lee.
00:00:33And I'm Scott Tweedy and this crowd tonight is insane.
00:00:37Wow, what a crowd.
00:00:40Last night we premiered movie week where your idols gave award winning performances with songs from the silver screen.
00:00:47And tonight it's the sequel as more of your idols take centre stage to sing for your votes.
00:00:53Tonight's soundtracks include songs from Pretty Woman, Deadpool, Willy Wonka, Frozen and more.
00:01:00But before we hit play, it's not a movie night without the critics.
00:01:04Let's hear it for your Australian Idol judges!
00:01:13Kyle Sandler!
00:01:16Marsha Hines!
00:01:18And Amy Shark!
00:01:28One more time.
00:01:29Yeah!
00:01:46Woohoo!
00:01:47A very good evening, judges.
00:01:49You all look fantastic tonight.
00:01:51Okay, so here's a little refresh on how the top 12 works.
00:01:55Last night we saw six amazing idols perform.
00:01:59Charlie, Lily Grace, Kalani, Harry, Samela and Jacinta.
00:02:03Samela claimed the judges save, scoring immunity from the public vote and securing herself a coveted place in the top
00:02:1110.
00:02:11Australia.
00:02:13Oh, yeah.
00:02:15Australia, your votes poured in, but time is up.
00:02:21Voting has closed and the results will be revealed live tomorrow night.
00:02:27Right now though, six more idols will hit the stage singing for your votes and their shot at the top
00:02:3310.
00:02:33Yeah.
00:02:33We have got Kesha, our singing skier from Jindalbine.
00:02:38Johnny Jukebox from Bunbury in Western Australia.
00:02:43And brizzy boy Harlan.
00:02:45There he is.
00:02:48Plus, three Victorians vying for victory.
00:02:52Soul singing waitress Juan Wu.
00:02:55Young dad Trey.
00:02:59And our Melbourne model Sophie.
00:03:06Voting is now open for these idols.
00:03:09Text who you want to see in the top 10.
00:03:11It's as simple as that.
00:03:13Details are on the screen right now.
00:03:15Thanks to the all new Jaiku J5 EV powering electric idol performances.
00:03:21Now you can vote up to 10 times.
00:03:22Use them all on one idol.
00:03:24You can spread the love.
00:03:25Text now or you can wait until you've seen everyone perform.
00:03:28It is up to you.
00:03:29And don't forget, after everyone has sung, the judges have the power to save one idol from the public vote.
00:03:37Instantly locking them into a top 10 spot.
00:03:41An invaluable lifeline for one lucky idol tonight.
00:03:45Alright, Kyle and Marsha.
00:03:46In the wake of today's Oscars, in your opinion, what will make a performance truly Oscar worthy for you?
00:03:52Well, I always think the Oscars are the worst films that no one goes to see.
00:03:58Happy Madison never won one Oscar.
00:04:01Such a good movie.
00:04:02It's outrageous, right?
00:04:03Oh.
00:04:04Look, the soundtracks really do make the film.
00:04:07They make the movie, yeah.
00:04:08Like sometimes you remember the music more than you remember the movie, right?
00:04:12That's true.
00:04:12Some amazing ones over the years.
00:04:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:14Amy, what should our idols keep in mind as they step into the spotlight tonight?
00:04:19Well, I think as stressful as it feels, like you're here, you might as well just take a few deep
00:04:25breaths and go for it.
00:04:26For it.
00:04:26You know?
00:04:27Just absolutely go for it.
00:04:28Wise words.
00:04:29Alright, well, let's get into it with our first performance of the night.
00:04:32She's the 22-year-old singing skier from Jindabyne taking on a mega 80s hit from one of the highest
00:04:40grossing films in recent history.
00:04:42This is Kesha!
00:04:52Top 12 is like insane.
00:04:55It's the biggest achievement of my life.
00:04:57So, I'm very, very stoked.
00:05:00Last week, Kyle told me I looked like a superhero.
00:05:04You look incredible.
00:05:05It's Xena Warrior Princess.
00:05:07You're a real contender.
00:05:08That was excellent.
00:05:09I mean, my outfit was very silver and metallic.
00:05:12And actually pretty superhero-like.
00:05:17So, I'm throwing them all the superheroes this week.
00:05:25For Top 12 movie week, I am singing Like a Prayer from the movie Deadpool.
00:05:30This song is from the iconic Deadpool and Wolverine fight scene.
00:05:35So, it's a pretty epic scene in the film.
00:05:38And I want my performance to be epic.
00:05:42How do you relate to this song?
00:05:44I think there's a couple powers that everyone would want to have.
00:05:48You know, power of like being fearless.
00:05:50Everything.
00:05:51Being able to walk onto the stage and not really have a thought.
00:05:54I would just go for it.
00:05:57Thousands of people watching you have to be fearless.
00:05:59You don't have a choice.
00:06:00Otherwise, you crumble under pressure.
00:06:02It's just not an option in this stage of the competition.
00:06:05It's a bit of a genre change for you.
00:06:08Yeah, it definitely is.
00:06:09I mean, it's different from my slower, really, you know, hectic ballads.
00:06:16When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:06:21I'm down on my knees.
00:06:23I want to take you there.
00:06:26Changing the genre.
00:06:28It's definitely a risk.
00:06:32Lean in.
00:06:33Commit, commit, commit, commit.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:35Because other just feels like a steam train.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38This is full crunch time.
00:06:40It's really difficult.
00:06:42If I don't get this song right, 100% my dreams could be over.
00:06:52Life is a mystery.
00:06:58Everyone must stand alone.
00:07:02I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.
00:07:15When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:07:19I'm down on my knees.
00:07:22I want to take you there.
00:07:24In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:07:28Just like a prayer.
00:07:30You know I'll take you there.
00:07:32I hear your voice.
00:07:36It's like an angel flying.
00:07:40I have no choice.
00:07:43I hear your voice.
00:07:47Heaven help me.
00:07:49Just like a prayer.
00:07:51Your voice will take me there.
00:07:53Just like a muse to me.
00:07:55You are a mystery.
00:07:57You are a mystery.
00:07:58Just like a dream.
00:07:59You are on what you seem.
00:08:02Just like a prayer.
00:08:03No choice.
00:08:04Your voice will take me there.
00:08:08When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:08:12I'm down on my knees.
00:08:14I want to take you there.
00:08:16In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:08:20Just like a prayer.
00:08:22Just like a prayer.
00:08:23You know I'll take you there.
00:08:25Just like a prayer.
00:08:27You know I'll take you there.
00:08:29Just like a muse to me.
00:08:31You are a mystery.
00:08:33Just like a prayer.
00:08:35No choice.
00:08:35You know I'll take you there.
00:08:38Just like a prayer.
00:08:39No choice.
00:08:40Your voice will take me there.
00:08:44Yeah.
00:09:14Oh, thank you, girls.
00:09:20Wow!
00:09:23Oh, my God!
00:09:31I know Marcia's supposed to be speaking first.
00:09:35I know Marcia's supposed to be...
00:09:36That was a great start to the show.
00:09:42And doing a Madonna song, everyone knows that,
00:09:46so I was like, oh, everyone's going to compare,
00:09:48and you smashed it, babe.
00:09:50You smashed it.
00:09:53Thank you so much.
00:09:54What about when she just flicked the hand
00:09:57because she knew she had that note coming?
00:09:59It's like we've just been to the Kesha show
00:10:02and now we're just dissecting it.
00:10:03It was amazing.
00:10:03It truly was top level.
00:10:05I loved it.
00:10:06Kesha, you know, I, me, myself, Bing, and Amy,
00:10:11we love strong women,
00:10:12and that's how you present.
00:10:14You know, obviously you do gigs.
00:10:17It's obviously you know what movements to make.
00:10:20That's what it's all about,
00:10:21and what a great way to start the show.
00:10:23Well done, honey.
00:10:24Well done.
00:10:24Thank you so much.
00:10:28Um, Kesha, like, just no notes, really.
00:10:35Carry on as you were.
00:10:36That was, that was fantastic.
00:10:38Yay, Kesha!
00:10:42So good.
00:10:43Kesha, you've cast a spell over the judges.
00:10:47I've never in my life seen Kyle move that quickly.
00:10:50I was a bit nervous.
00:10:51That was awesome.
00:10:52I was a bit nervous because, like,
00:10:53usually when you go to people's barbecues,
00:10:55who, who else, the big boys here,
00:10:56don't like the white plastic chairs?
00:10:59You know, and this desk, I was like, hmm, I'll give it a go.
00:11:01This isn't Timu.
00:11:02This is real stuff.
00:11:04This is real, this is real wood.
00:11:05It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:08It must be freedom.
00:11:09Oh, I loved it.
00:11:10It's amazing.
00:11:11Kesha, that was an incredible performance.
00:11:13I mean, it's a dumb question,
00:11:14but how do you think that went?
00:11:17Oh, I mean, I felt great.
00:11:20Like, it's just the crowd, my beautiful,
00:11:22always my beautiful friends and family.
00:11:29Like, yeah, I'm obsessed with them.
00:11:32And my, like, everyone who's competing here is so amazing.
00:11:36So when you're surrounded by people that just support you,
00:11:39it's, you know, this band and...
00:11:40You're going to be better finishing at the clap.
00:11:42Oh, my gosh.
00:11:43Yeah.

00:11:44I saw you backstage and you just said,
00:11:46I just want to get out there
00:11:47and I just want to get this done and over with.
00:11:49Yeah.

00:11:52Yeah.

00:14:25Pretty Woman.
00:14:26Pretty Woman.
00:14:29I don't believe you.
00:14:31You're not the truth.
00:14:34Yeah, so there's an extra two beats there.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:37I'm struggling a bit with the timing of this song.
00:14:40It's very tricky.
00:14:41Oh, shit.
00:14:44Grit!
00:14:47Just remembering that timing stuff, okay?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:52There's just a lot going on in my head.
00:14:53It is so critical for your timing to be exactly on point.

00:15:08Pretty Woman.
00:15:17Walking down the street.
00:15:19Pretty Woman.
00:15:20The kind I like to meet.
00:15:22Pretty Woman.
00:15:24I don't believe you.
00:15:27You're not the truth.
00:15:28No one can look as good as you.
00:15:38Pretty Woman.
00:15:40Stop a while.
00:15:42Pretty Woman.
00:15:43Talk a while.

00:15:52Pretty Woman.
00:15:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:55Pretty Woman.
00:15:57Pretty Woman.
00:15:58Look my way.
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:00Pretty Woman.
00:16:01Say you'll stay with me.
00:16:05Cause I need you.

00:16:37But wait...
00:16:38What do I see?

00:16:58Pretty woman
00:17:19Jukebox Johnny!
00:17:22Bro, you've done it again.
00:17:24You've made another
00:17:25grandma song
00:17:27an absolute classic for the young,
00:17:30the middle, the old.
00:17:31The good thing about you is that
00:17:33everyone knows that song, and I mean from our
00:17:35Nana's age. Nana was getting
00:17:37frisky with grandpa during that.
00:17:40And he was like,
00:17:41whoa, pretty woman.
00:17:43This will blow you away,
00:17:45but they were doing things that
00:17:47you'll be surprised about.
00:17:49When you get older,
00:17:51you'll know.
00:17:52That is exactly what you need to do.
00:17:55You're a joy to watch.
00:17:56You bring every old song, you make it modern,
00:17:58you make it youthful, you make it powerful.
00:18:00You're a real contender to win this contest,
00:18:03young man.
00:18:13Johnny, you are fearless,
00:18:15you are funky,
00:18:17and you are so on time,
00:18:18because what you're doing is introducing
00:18:20older music to a younger crowd,
00:18:23and what you're doing with it
00:18:25is so cool.
00:18:27And look, I just, you're entertaining,
00:18:29and that's what it's all about.
00:18:37I agree with these guys, Johnny.
00:18:38You're like, I think you're a genius.
00:18:40I think what you have created here is just so smart and fun,
00:18:47and I just wanted to go clubbing,
00:18:48and I haven't been clubbing in a long time,
00:18:51but that music is just so,
00:18:54the arrangement and the energy you put into your show
00:18:58is just, it's addictive, man.
00:19:00You're always so good.
00:19:02I always, like, see your name, and I'm like,
00:19:03yes, Johnny's up.
00:19:05Thank you so much.
00:19:10Johnny, can I just say,
00:19:12the pitch of the screams in here when you perform
00:19:16are next level.
00:19:18It's crazy.
00:19:19That was a huge performance.
00:19:20How do you think that went?
00:19:22It's just, I think it went well,
00:19:24but I'm just so happy I can be here.
00:19:27I'm treating every performance just like another stepping stone,
00:19:30so, yeah, I'm just, it's just so good.
00:19:33It was amazing.
00:19:34What did you guys think?
00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow.
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies screaming.
00:19:45It's the old ladies that are usually doing it.
00:19:46They can't scream that loud.
00:19:47Now, you mentioned in the video
00:19:49that you were singing that for a crush.
00:19:52Do you want to, um, I don't know, maybe spill?
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind, Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's here?
00:19:59Nah.
00:20:00It's not me.
00:20:01I can't say on national television.
00:20:02You're not going to say?
00:20:02What if they're watching?
00:20:03We'll say, say, just say hello.
00:20:04Give a little wink and a little.
00:20:05Hello.
00:20:07You've got to do it a bit more cool.
00:20:09I've got to be cool now.
00:20:09Be cool.
00:20:09Everyone just chill.
00:20:10Be cool.
00:20:11Say hello.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:16That was the opposite.
00:20:18Okay, Johnny.
00:20:20Oh my gosh.
00:20:22I'm going to have to talk to you a bit later.
00:20:23Being an idol gets you perks, right?
00:20:26Like VIP passes to see Pretty Woman.
00:20:28That was pretty cool.
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:29Oh, that was so cool.
00:20:31Got to meet Samantha Jade.
00:20:32It's just neck level.
00:20:33Oh my gosh.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:35Oh, Johnny.
00:20:36Sorry, I've got to be cool.
00:20:37Johnny.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Don't tell me Samantha Jade's the crush, is it?
00:20:40Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:42Because I know her husband, so it's very awkward.
00:20:44It's very awkward.
00:20:46Well, Pretty Woman the Musical is touring Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this year.
00:20:49Make sure you check it out.
00:20:50It is amazing.
00:20:52Alright, Australia.
00:20:52You know what to do.
00:20:53If you want to see John through to the top ten, the only way to get him there is to
00:20:58vote.
00:20:58Vote.
00:20:59Vote.
00:21:00Give it up for John.
00:21:06Alright, still to make their top 12 debut is Wan Woo, Trey and Melbourne model Sophie.
00:21:13But up next, our 18 year old Brizzy boy Harlan, who had some extra help getting ready for this
00:21:18week's performance.
00:21:19He met with an A-lister who hit the stage at today's Oscars.
00:21:24Just wait until you see who it is.
00:21:37Welcome back to Idol.
00:21:39Look, it's not movie week without your movie snacks.
00:21:42You've got your popcorn, your drinks and you can't forget your choc tops.
00:21:47And speaking of chocolate, this week Harlan is taking on a song from the iconic movie Willy Wonka and the
00:21:52Chocolate Factory.
00:21:53And he had the opportunity to link up with the award winning A-lister Josh Groban to help him prepare
00:22:00for tonight's performance.
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week, it's movie week.
00:22:10I am singing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
00:22:15Today I get the absolute privilege and honour to meet the Josh Groban.
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums.
00:22:22He's a Grammy-nominated artist.
00:22:24And Josh has actually covered this song and I really just want to know how he fine-tuned and tweaked
00:22:28his version of it.
00:22:29Hey.
00:22:30Hi, how are you?
00:22:31Harlan, Josh.
00:22:32Nice to meet you.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:34First of all, congratulations.
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs and you've got such a magnificent instrument.
00:22:39Oh, thank you.
00:22:39You're so good.
00:22:40So this is movie songs.
00:22:42Yes, yes, yes.
00:22:43Oh, man.
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination, which you've done a wonderful cover of.
00:22:46Yes, thank you very much.
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia.
00:22:49It takes you back to that place.
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of inspiration from your amazing cover.
00:22:54So with this song, I like to start it really simple.
00:22:58You can grab people's attention with bigness immediately.
00:23:02But then that overstays its welcome.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:04And people start to get like, okay, my hair's been blown back for a while now.
00:23:08Do you want to just sing just a tiny bit for me?
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:23:22What are you thinking about when you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling of watching that movie.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29Like when you see the doors of this massive factory open.
00:23:32And it's just like that childlike wonder and just like awe.
00:23:36So in fact that joy.
00:23:37If you can tap in to that place, then you're golden.
00:23:41It's always great to kind of dare to let them lean in.
00:23:43Like let them come to you.
00:23:45And an audience just wants to feel this.
00:23:47That's really all they want.
00:23:49Meeting Josh was an incredible experience.
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now that I can apply to my own performance.
00:23:56I really hope I can tap into the feeling of nostalgia.
00:23:59You can get all the notes right, but the notes don't matter if you don't have the feeling.
00:24:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:24:22Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
00:24:34We'll begin with a spin.
00:24:40Traveling in a world of my creation.
00:24:45What we'll see will defy explanation.
00:24:57If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.
00:25:08Anything you want to do it.
00:25:12Anything you want to do it.
00:25:14If you want to change the world, there's nothing to it.
00:25:21There is no life I know.
00:25:28To compare with your imagination.
00:25:34Living there, you'll be free.
00:25:38If you can leave.
00:25:43If you can leave.
00:25:45Wish you'll be.
00:25:48Wish you'll be.
00:25:51Wish you'll be.
00:25:55Yeah.
00:26:03Come.
00:26:04Come.
00:26:06Come.
00:26:30Come.
00:26:31Well, Harlan, I have no face because you just melted it off.
00:26:37Um, you are just, I think we're having one of these moments where we're seeing someone with
00:26:46an extreme talent.
00:26:49Like, that was just incredible.
00:26:53I don't know how you, how you compose yourself.
00:26:57Like, you could have hit, heard a pin drop then.
00:26:59Like, you had everyone in the palm of your hand.
00:27:02It's not like you've been doing this your whole life.
00:27:03This is like the early stages of your career.
00:27:07That, I mean, well done.
00:27:09I don't know what else to say.
00:27:17Firstly, I'll just apologize to you, Harlan, for not standing up.
00:27:21I can't stand up.
00:27:22I can't stand up because, like, you've got me pinned.
00:27:27In fascination with your voice.
00:27:29That is an incredible instrument.
00:27:31And it's all about placement.
00:27:33And it's all about your choices.
00:27:35And your choices are so clever.
00:27:37And yes, you might be the black sheep of your family.
00:27:42But you are truly the musician in that family.
00:27:45You are something else, man.
00:27:49You really, I mean, you really are something else.
00:27:53And you've stayed true all the while.
00:27:56And yeah, I can't get up because I'm blown away.
00:27:59That was well done.
00:28:00You're welcome.
00:28:01.
00:28:07Harlan, great voice.
00:28:09You're a wonderful performer.
00:28:11Every time we see you, we're always gobsmacked.
00:28:14And I never watched that dumb movie.
00:28:17You haven't seen that one either?
00:28:19Nor do I like that dumb song at all.
00:28:21But you owned, I've never even heard that song.
00:28:24Just so you know.
00:28:25Never.
00:28:25But you did a great job.
00:28:28It didn't matter that I'd never heard it.
00:28:29I thought you did a remarkable job.
00:28:31And I think you owned the night so far.
00:28:33You're the best so far.
00:28:34Thank you, guys.
00:29:53So beautiful.
00:29:54Amazing.
00:29:55Well, Josh's new album, Cinematic, is out on May 8.
00:29:58His voice is incredible.
00:29:59Go and check it out.
00:30:00And if you want to see Harlan sing again, you have to vote Australia.
00:30:04Text Harlan to get him into the top of 10.
00:30:09Put your hands together for Harlan.
00:30:11Thank you, Josh.
00:30:13Thank you, Josh.
00:30:17After the break, we have got our soul singing Waitress Wanwoo taking on a smash hit from a
00:30:23family favourite classic.
00:30:24It is a good one.
00:30:26And then later tonight, just one idol will get The Judge saved, which will secure them
00:30:31a spot in the top 10.
00:30:33And that major plot twist is coming up.
00:30:45Welcome back to Australian Idol.
00:30:48It's top 12 week.
00:30:49And to celebrate the launch of the live shows, our idols have recorded and released their very
00:30:54own single.
00:30:55Check it out.
00:31:07Yes, you can get All Night Long out on iTunes right now.
00:31:11Search for Australian Idol or check out the QR code on screen.
00:31:15You will see them perform it right here on tomorrow night's live results show.
00:31:20Well, it's now time for our next performer.
00:31:22She's our soul singer from Melbourne taking on a song from the Shrek movies.
00:31:28This is Wanwoo.
00:31:39Hi, Mama.
00:31:41Hello, beautiful baby.
00:31:44Mama, I was calling you because for movie week, the song I'm doing is from Shrek.
00:31:50The green man, yeah?
00:31:51Yes, the green man.
00:31:53I love everything about Shrek.
00:31:55Like, I wrote an essay about Shrek, so I sound like a mecha nerd.
00:32:00No one's reading it.
00:32:04Yeah, we're first getting to Australia, yeah.
00:32:06So I'm singing, holding out for a hero.
00:32:09And I was calling you to let you know that you're my hero.
00:32:13And the song is for you.
00:32:16Oh, Mom, don't cry.
00:32:17Oh, Mom.
00:32:21My connection to the song is like, not only is it about Shrek and like him being a hero for
00:32:26Fiona.
00:32:27For me, my mom is my hero.
00:32:31My dad passed away when I was eight, so my mom was literally my mom and dad.
00:32:37Like, she's my idol.
00:32:39I am where I am because of my mom.
00:32:42Oh, my kid, let me cry.
00:32:43I got makeup on.
00:32:46I need a hero.
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:32:52I know your mom was very emotional about your top 21 performance and she's so proud of you.
00:33:00When you were small, we proud of you.
00:33:03That's what we are here for.
00:33:06How do you think you're going to go this week seeing her again?
00:33:11Last week, I got so emotional to see how proud she was.
00:33:14This week, I really don't want to break down in tears and like stop in the middle of my performance.
00:33:19It's like she'll be watching me become everything she sacrificed for me to be.
00:33:23So it's just going to be a full circle moment.
00:33:27Like, the stakes are high.
00:33:35Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
00:33:41Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
00:33:47And isn't there a white night upon the fire's deep?
00:33:54Late at night, I touch and I turn and I dream of what I need.
00:34:01I need a hero.
00:34:04I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:34:08He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast and he's gotta be large and alive.
00:34:14I need a hero.
00:34:17I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:34:21He's got to be strong and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.
00:34:27Larger than life.
00:34:29Uh, yeah.
00:34:31You ready?
00:34:33Hold up.
00:34:34Yeah.
00:34:34Hold it now, yeah.
00:34:35Hold it now, yeah.
00:34:36Hero is the end of the night-night.
00:34:38Strong fast, he can lodge in the lifeline.
00:34:39If I call, do you think he will buy back?
00:34:40See the mountains in the heavens above.
00:34:42I see the lightning, thunder and the flood.
00:34:44I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.
00:34:47Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:49Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:50Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51In my blood.
00:34:54I need a hero.
00:34:56I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:35:01He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from life.
00:35:07I need a hero.
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:35:13He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life.
00:35:20I need a hero.
00:35:38I need a hero.
00:35:42I need a hero.
00:35:43I need a hero.
00:35:43Mm-hmm.
00:35:45Uh-huh.
00:35:46Mm-hmm.
00:35:46Go ahead, Wanwu.
00:35:48Go ahead, Wanwu.
00:35:49You know, I think your mom is your hero, but I think you are your mother's hero.
00:36:02You walk on the stage, you own it, you know, and you got so much attitude.
00:36:08I love it, you know.
00:36:09And that's what the show business is about, you know.
00:36:11And I think your performance was very strong, very heartfelt.
00:36:14Well done, Wanwu.
00:36:15I've got nothing to say if you behave.
00:36:22Wanwu.
00:36:22I mean, firstly, the triple top knot.
00:36:25I see what you're doing.
00:36:26Bantu knots gotta represent.
00:36:28That's hot.
00:36:28I like it.
00:36:29Yeah, I...
00:36:31Like, the bar was already here tonight.
00:36:33You just shot it to the moon.
00:36:35Like, that was...
00:36:37That was sensational.
00:36:38Like, I'm such a big fan of you.
00:36:40You have, like, the coolest vibe, tone, personality.
00:36:44Uh, like, I'm just so all in on your artists.
00:36:49Like, yeah, you have no idea how much you've got coming for you,
00:36:52because that was sick.
00:36:54Like, I feel cool just listening to you.
00:36:56And that's what sells records.
00:36:58Oh, man.
00:37:00Is that not cool, Kyle?
00:37:02Is that not cool?
00:37:05That's another movie I've not seen.
00:37:07Shrek.
00:37:08I'm not big into the cartoons, obviously.
00:37:09I'm a grown man.
00:37:11Uh, Wanwu.
00:37:13That was great.
00:37:14You're a badass.
00:37:16Yeah.
00:37:17That's what you are.
00:37:17You got all the moves.
00:37:19You got the struts.
00:37:21Like, when you're...
00:37:22You're a very nice girl behind the stage here.
00:37:25Just a sweetie pie.
00:37:26But up here, you got this whole...
00:37:28Vicious.
00:37:29Like, it's on fire, babe.
00:37:31It's you nailing it.
00:37:33Nothing from me.
00:37:34You just keep serving up that shit, because that is excellent.
00:37:41So, in a nutshell, nothing from the judges.
00:37:45Nothing from the judges.
00:37:46No notes.
00:37:47Nothing.
00:37:47That was so, so cool.
00:37:50You are such a vibe, Wanwu.
00:37:51How does it feel for you when you're up here?
00:37:53Because you just look like you are cruising, but having the best time.
00:37:57I get my energy from y'all.
00:38:00Like, without this connection, I would not be.
00:38:04The audience is my fuel, genuinely.
00:38:07All these beautiful people here.
00:38:09My mama.
00:38:10I just...
00:38:11Oh, I'm trying so hard not to be emotional, because everything you've done is why I'm here.
00:38:18Every single thing you've done.
00:38:20No dad, but I didn't even know I didn't have a dad, because I had both of them in you.
00:38:23Mama, I'm telling you.
00:38:26Everything I do, I do it for you.
00:38:31Wow, Wanwu.
00:38:32My gosh.
00:38:33Well, you did sing that.
00:38:35I'm really glad you're pointing your mum out, because my mum was...
00:38:39No, my dad was around, and our problem was, he wouldn't leave us alone.
00:38:42We had to keep running away.
00:38:43And my mum was my hero, and that shit sticks through your whole life.
00:38:48Life, yes it does.
00:38:48That woman there has given up stuff you won't even know about.
00:38:52Like, my mum gave up stuff that I didn't know about, so we could have the best life we possibly
00:38:57could,
00:38:57and you've done an amazing job.
00:38:59Well done.
00:39:01Absolutely.
00:39:03Wanwu, you did sing that song for your mum, Yasa, who is supporting you from the crowd.
00:39:09Yes.
00:39:09Yasa, my goodness, what do you have to say to your beautiful girl?
00:39:15Well, what is adequate to express, because I'm just proud of you.
00:39:22You are my hero.
00:39:24You are my hero.
00:39:29You are blessed.
00:39:31And I want to tell Australia, thank you.
00:39:34Thank you to Australia.
00:39:35We are grateful to be part of this country.
00:39:39Thank you for giving her a sign to be part of this country.
00:39:44Australia, God bless Australia.
00:39:47Australia, God bless Australia.
00:39:49We are happy.
00:39:51Thank you, my mum.
00:39:52My goodness.
00:39:53God bless you, Will.
00:39:55Thank you, Yasa.
00:39:56You're amazing.
00:39:57If you want to see more of our beautiful soul diva, Wanwu, you have to vote for her Australia.
00:40:03Get behind her.
00:40:04Or she could be the one that scores the judge save a little bit later in the show, sending her
00:40:09straight into the top ten.
00:40:11But please, give it up one more time for Wanwu.
00:40:20Remember, you've got just ten votes.
00:40:23Use them all on one idol or spread the love across all of your favourites tonight.
00:40:28OK, up next is our young dad, Trey, taking on, wait for it, Let It Go from Frozen.
00:40:38This bloke is singing a Disney princess song.
00:40:43But let me tell you, it's not what you'll expect.
00:40:47Stick around, you can't miss this.
00:40:58Welcome back.
00:40:59Tonight, Hollywood Hits meets the idol stage as the top 12 perform for your votes.
00:41:05Next to sing is Melbourne dad, Trey, who does everything for his daughters, especially the song he's chosen this week.
00:41:21What is it?
00:41:22Can I do this?
00:41:23Go like, oh.
00:41:27Good job.
00:41:28Today is bring daughter to work day.
00:41:31Can you go popcorn?
00:41:31Oh, thank you very much.
00:41:32Drink.
00:41:33Thank you very much.
00:41:34You can't drink it and eat it now.
00:41:36I need to show up and do this.
00:41:39Oh, OK.
00:41:39For movie week, I'll be singing Let It Go from Frozen.
00:41:42Let it go!
00:41:43I have a special connection to Let It Go.
00:41:45It's a family favourite of ours.
00:41:46Don't we?
00:41:47We sing Frozen Let It Go all the time, don't we?
00:41:49Let it go!
00:41:51Let it go!
00:41:52Let it go!
00:41:52I don't care.
00:41:55Fair by set.
00:41:57Sean Gray John.
00:42:00You sound like an angel.
00:42:01Woo!
00:42:05Let it go!
00:42:07Let it go!
00:42:09I can't hold it back anymore!
00:42:12We're putting a big R&B spin on it.
00:42:14I don't even think I've ever heard an R&B spin on Let It Go before.
00:42:19So, it's going to be new.
00:42:22It's slightly risky doing an R&B version.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:25Of this song.
00:42:27It's a challenge because it's always a risk to switch up such a classic song.
00:42:32Yeah.
00:42:32Especially when it's a Disney ballad, you know, pop song.
00:42:37You just don't want to take it too far away from how people remember it.
00:42:40Remember it.
00:42:41And also Miss Silas.
00:42:42And also the fact, yeah, hopefully Silas loves it.
00:42:46I want to make my daughters proud of this performance because they love it and that's ultimately why I'm doing
00:42:50it, is for them.
00:42:52Yeah, I'm definitely more worried about this little girl's judgement than the three judges on the day, to be honest.
00:42:59Because she'll be brutal.
00:43:01Say it now and I will.
00:43:03Oh, you want me to sing it now and you judge?
00:43:05Now I'm nervous.
00:43:07That's why I'm a little bit scared for this one.
00:43:10Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how she feels about it.
00:43:14Is that thumbs up?
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:16Oh, wow.
00:43:25Let it go.
00:43:27Let it go.
00:43:29I can't hold it back anymore.
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight.
00:43:37Not a footprint till we see.
00:43:41A kingdom of isolation.
00:43:43And it looks like I'm the king.
00:43:48Ooh, the wind is silent like the swirling storm inside.
00:43:57I couldn't keep it in.
00:43:59Heaven knows I've tried.
00:44:03Let it go.
00:44:05Let it go.
00:44:07I can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:10Let it go.
00:44:13Let it go.
00:44:17Cause the cold never bothered me.
00:44:20It's time to see what I can do.
00:44:24To test the limits and break through.
00:44:27No right, no wrong.
00:44:29No rules for me.
00:44:32I'm free.
00:44:34Let it go.
00:44:36Let it go.
00:44:37Let it go.
00:44:38I can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:42Let it go.
00:44:43Let it go.
00:44:51Let it go.
00:44:58Let it go.
00:45:01Let it go.
00:45:11Let it go.
00:45:15Let it go.
00:45:16Let it go.
00:45:17Let it go.
00:45:25Let it go.
00:45:35Let it go.
00:45:38The only way to win this thing is to get the country to vote for you.
00:45:43And the only way the country votes for you is if they believe in you
00:45:48and if you're a likable person.
00:45:50You are so believable.
00:45:52You're so likable.
00:45:53You're such a good guy, but you are also a genius.
00:45:56That was so good.
00:45:59That's going to stream off its head.
00:46:02Thank you so much.
00:46:05So good, man.
00:46:06Yeah.
00:46:07It would be almost impossible for most moms and dads,
00:46:12godparents, grandparents, not to know that song, honey,
00:46:15because when it was all happening,
00:46:17I heard it so many times I could kill somebody.
00:46:21You know what I mean?
00:46:22But your rendition of that was just so beautiful, Trey, you know?
00:46:27And yeah, there's nothing much I can say,
00:46:29except I think that was a very, very clever choice on your part.
00:46:33Thank you so much, Marsha.
00:46:33I appreciate it.
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song.
00:46:40Trey, of course, I don't.
00:46:43That's another cartoon rubbish movie that I haven't watched,
00:46:46being a grown man.
00:46:48Obviously, the song's rubbish as well, but your version of it,
00:46:52you made it all chocolate and beautiful and, ooh,
00:46:56with a nougar-y, caramel-y, ooh.
00:47:00I was eating that up.
00:47:02And that, mate, you're up there with the greatest.
00:47:05Like, you make every song you sing, like, the forbidden, ooh.
00:47:09Ooh, ooh, I've gone home without me shoes again.
00:47:12You know the time.
00:47:14You're that bloke.
00:47:15That was very clever, as Amy said.
00:47:18All the kids love that.
00:47:19Every stupid little girl with the head, they all love it.
00:47:23The guy can't be beat.
00:47:24I need you to stop.
00:47:25Well done.
00:47:26Everything was bad.
00:47:27That was sick.
00:47:27Everything.
00:47:28Everything.
00:47:30Everything.
00:47:31Hi, Ricky.
00:47:32The guy that's seen nothing has all the opinions
00:47:35on the things he's never seen.
00:47:36I love it.
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:37I've never seen any of these rubbish things,
00:47:39and I loved every song so far.
00:47:41I love it.
00:47:41Oh, Trey, that was a girl dad power move if I ever saw one.
00:47:46My goodness.
00:47:50What a cool spin on that song.
00:47:52How do you think it went?
00:47:53It was fun.
00:47:54It was really fun to put a twist on this song.
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous because it is such a big song.
00:47:59You know, it's known in probably the majority of every household.
00:48:03Every kid loves that song.
00:48:04So, yeah, it was scary, but I felt good with the performance,
00:48:07and I'm happy the judges felt the same way.
00:48:09Yeah.
00:48:10Yeah, we did.
00:48:12I think all the mums and dads that would have been hearing that song
00:48:15would be so excited to hear it done in a different way.
00:48:18Now, Trey, your beautiful wife, Victoria, is here tonight,
00:48:21and your gorgeous daughters have had to go to bed.
00:48:23It's past their bedtime.
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:25But I need to ask you,
00:48:27do you think your biggest critic, Silas,
00:48:30would have loved that performance?
00:48:31Oh, yeah.
00:48:33Thumbs up now?
00:48:33She would have loved it, but her favourite is John.
00:48:36Oh.
00:48:38She doesn't care about my performances.
00:48:40She just wants to see John at the moment.
00:48:42So, she saw John and then she went home.
00:48:44She looked really comfy.
00:48:45I love that.
00:48:46You can't...
00:48:47The kids, they're so honest.
00:48:48What do you do?
00:48:49She looked really comfy in this chair.
00:48:51I'm a bit worried.
00:48:51She really did.
00:48:52Watch out.
00:48:55She's coming for your job.
00:48:56Trey, it's up to the public now to keep you in the competition.
00:49:00Tell Australia why they should vote for you.
00:49:02Well, I've been working on my craft for a very long time now,
00:49:06and, you know, the main reason,
00:49:07I just want Australia to, you know, witness growth.
00:49:10I still have a lot to learn,
00:49:11and I breathe music,
00:49:13so it's forever my goal to, you know,
00:49:16become the greatest version of myself.
00:49:17I can be musically and as a human, so...
00:49:21That's why I think about Australia.
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:24Marsh has lost it.
00:49:27Well, another heartfelt performance from Trey,
00:49:30and if you think he should stay in the competition,
00:49:33vote for him right now.
00:49:35Text Trey...
00:49:37..to the number on the screen.
00:49:38Let's hear it one more time for Trey.
00:49:41Thank you so much.
00:49:42Thank you, Ricky.
00:49:42Killed it.
00:49:46Up next, our model from Melbourne, Sophie,
00:49:49will bring us glamour, glitter,
00:49:51and a whole lot of sparkle
00:49:53when she hits the idle runway
00:49:55with an iconic hit from a Hollywood legend.
00:49:58Plus, our judges decide
00:50:00who they'll save from the public vote.
00:50:02How's that for a cliffhanger?
00:50:04Australian Idol will be back in just a moment.
00:50:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:50:16Welcome back to Movie Week on Idol.
00:50:18The final singer of the night is our model, Sophie,
00:50:22and I'm here with her mum, Kim,
00:50:23who's cheering her on tonight.
00:50:25Now, Kim, when did you realise little Sophie
00:50:28was going to be a big star?
00:50:30From a very young age.
00:50:31She's always been a performer.
00:50:33She's grown up in a very busy house,
00:50:36and she's kept us entertained for years.
00:50:39And now I heard that you were the one
00:50:41that convinced her to audition for Idol.
00:50:43You must be glad you did that.
00:50:44Oh, absolutely.
00:50:46Yeah?
00:50:46Yes, absolutely.
00:50:47Look at her.
00:50:48She's a star.
00:50:49She's sparkling tonight.
00:50:51Well, we are so glad that you did that.
00:50:52All right, well, let's see how Sophie,
00:50:55our model from Melbourne,
00:50:56prepared for her performance this week.
00:50:59There's something in the world,
00:51:01you're mine, yeah.
00:51:09I'm great.
00:51:10How are you feeling?
00:51:11I'm good.
00:51:12And it's movie week.
00:51:14Tell me what song you're doing.
00:51:15I'm doing Diamonds Are Girls Best Friends.
00:51:17One of my favourite songs in the movie,
00:51:20Gentleman Before Blondes.
00:51:21Yes.
00:51:22Iconic.
00:51:23Just iconic.
00:51:24In top 21, Kyle was particularly impressed.
00:51:28That was the best stage work
00:51:30I've pretty much ever seen on this show.
00:51:32If you're wondering,
00:51:33what do they mean by the whole package?
00:51:35That's what I mean.
00:51:36The whole package.
00:51:37Kyle's saying that I had the best stage work.
00:51:38That was such a green light to just,
00:51:40let's even, do it even more.
00:51:44Thank you so much.
00:51:45You made it.
00:51:46I made it.
00:51:48Just to elevate your performance,
00:51:50how do you feel about two male dancers?
00:51:54Really?
00:51:55Yes.
00:51:56Actually?
00:51:56Oh my God.
00:51:57That is like my dream.
00:51:59Yeah?
00:51:59That is literally my dream.
00:52:01We're going to have to really step up.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:03Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:05There is going to be a bit more on my plate
00:52:07for this performance.
00:52:09Are you just going here?
00:52:10Full?
00:52:13Tying everything in and making it still sound amazing
00:52:18because at the end of the day,
00:52:19this is a singing show.
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21Then from here,
00:52:21you're going to run left, right, left.
00:52:23Oh, left, right, left.
00:52:24Left, right.
00:52:24So much dancing can really get in the way
00:52:26of your vocal work
00:52:27and the breath control
00:52:29and your delivery.
00:52:31It is a risk to add all your movement,
00:52:33but taking risks lead to better results.
00:52:37So let's just go from the high note
00:52:39just before the dance break.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:41Yeah?
00:52:41So we got...
00:52:42Diamond!
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure is definitely on
00:52:46for this performance.
00:52:47Diamond!
00:52:48I've got a lot to prove to Australia and myself.
00:52:52If I could complete that full package
00:52:54and make the top ten,
00:52:57it would just be truly a dream come true.
00:53:01Thank you, guys.
00:53:33The gifts may be grand, but I won't pay the rental on your humble flat or help you at the
00:53:41automats. Men grow cold and girls grow old and we all lose our charms in the end. A square cut
00:53:51or pear-shaped, these rocks don't lose their shape. Diamonds are a girl's best.
00:53:58Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:09Tiffany.
00:54:13Cartier.
00:54:16Talk to me, Australia. Tell me all about it.
00:54:22As time rolls on and youth is gone and you can't straighten up when you bend.
00:54:30But stiff back or stiff knees, you'll stare straight at his knees. Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:50Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:52That's great!
00:55:12Sofie, little Sofie.
00:55:15Hey, hey, hey.
00:55:15Look at you sparkling away up there.
00:55:16I know, shining.
00:55:17Once again, great to see you.
00:55:19You always do a fabulous job.
00:55:21You are a born entertainer.
00:55:22You look the part.
00:55:23The outfit is spot on.
00:55:25I like the dancing.
00:55:26I like the macho-y or whatever, the men vibe there.
00:55:31Mm-hmm.
00:55:31That was great.
00:55:32All of the stuff on the screens.
00:55:35Great song.
00:55:36And you, you, you are a little character.
00:55:39You, the thing I like about you is that you sort of morph, you forget that it's you.
00:55:44You actually just turn into a, into an actress, a singer, an entertainer.
00:55:49You're doing it all.
00:55:50And I just really want you to stay in the contest because you're so good.
00:55:55And you just, I very believe, every time I see you, I just fall into the performance,
00:55:59whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, Val.
00:56:01And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right there, right?
00:56:05And let me tell you, I spent a lot of money on diamonds.
00:56:08A lot.
00:56:09Good.
00:56:09And every girl loves them.
00:56:11Yeah, love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, Carl.
00:56:16Oh, yes, we love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20How come?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:21You look fantastic.
00:56:22Oh, are they boots?
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:24No, they're like...
00:56:25No, they're boots.
00:56:25One big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl, you look fantastic.
00:56:28Thank you so much.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that, and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's...
00:56:37It's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:40And that's old.
00:56:41All right?
00:56:42So that was...
00:56:43Because you look so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But you know, that was Marilyn Monroe, you know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Oh, thank you.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50You look great.
00:56:50And I just like your show business prowess.
00:56:54You know what to do, you know?
00:56:56I mean, just to stand there and just sing and do nothing.
00:56:58Uh-uh.
00:56:59But to actually perform, way to go.
00:57:01Well done, Sophie.
00:57:01Thank you so much, Marshall.
00:57:02That means a lot.
00:57:04Thank you all.
00:57:06Woo!
00:57:07I know that was like the Marilyn Monroe, but one of my favourite movies of all time is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:12I love this.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15I love this.
00:57:15And burlesque.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:16That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see like you're like one of these people that you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like once you start hitting your stride, like we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:33That was like such an amazing performance that you did then so effortlessly with dancers
00:57:40and singing and just being like Kyle said, this character.
00:57:44It's like that's what Australia wants.
00:57:47They don't want anyone boring.
00:57:48They want to see someone who they're like, wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So, well done.
00:57:56That was great.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:03Sophie, looking like a million bucks up here serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn.
00:58:10Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:11And that arrangement was insane.
00:58:14Did you enjoy that?
00:58:15I had a fabulous, amazing time, of course.
00:58:18How could I not?
00:58:19Oh, my gosh.
00:58:20Look at this opportunity.
00:58:21It's just insane.
00:58:23I'm so grateful.
00:58:24You absolutely took over the stage.
00:58:26You brought everything to that performance.
00:58:28Two backup dancers.
00:58:30I mean, where did you pull them from?
00:58:32A blessing.
00:58:33So cool.
00:58:34Is it like how important is it for you to put on a show with all of the bells and
00:58:38whistles?
00:58:38Like, is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:40I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is.
00:58:45Like, it's just me.
00:58:45I really want to entertain people.
00:58:47And I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality.
00:58:49And I've been gifted this gift to do this.
00:58:51And that's really how I feel.
00:58:54So, yeah, I want to make the most of it, of course.
00:58:56And it's all just to connect with people and entertain them and make their life any easier
00:59:00if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:01You know, hear laughs or...
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04Well, if you want to see Sophie again next week, you have to vote for her Australia.
00:59:10Text Sophie to the number on the screen to help her lock in a top 10 spot.
00:59:16Make some noise, everybody, for Sophie!
00:59:18Thank you all so much.
00:59:20I love you all.
00:59:21I love you all, okay?
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make that will be a total game-changer
00:59:32for one of tonight's performers.
00:59:34They'll decide who will skip the public vote and be sent directly into the top 10.
00:59:40An advantage like that at this stage in the competition is invaluable.
00:59:46That decision is coming up on Australian Idol.
00:59:48Don't go anywhere.
00:59:59You're watching Idol and the judges are currently deciding which of tonight's performers will
01:00:04score the coveted judge save, which will lock one Idol into the top 10, skipping the public
01:00:11vote.
01:00:12While they mull over that massive decision, we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol and about to head on a national tour, but before
01:00:22he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top 12.
01:00:27Singing his ARIA award-winning song, Choir.
01:00:38I know it's weird to say this, but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas, drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages, and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life, the ones I got to share with you are
01:00:57probably
01:00:57my favorite.
01:00:59I know you're looking down on us.
01:01:01I'm missing you, bro.
01:01:02Hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home.
01:01:06And I know you're not alone.
01:01:08Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:10Now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:13You ain't doing this solo.
01:01:15We all riding with you, boo-boo.

01:01:38And then it gets to next week.
01:01:39And we say maybe next week.
01:01:41And then before you know, we are feeling old.
01:01:45Asking ourselves, where did my friends go?
01:01:48Don't wait till they go home.
01:01:51Now you're singing in a choir.

01:03:58What a choir.
01:04:01Well, well, well.

01:04:10you are about to head out on the road for the 100 times around the sun tour.
01:04:14Tell us what we can all expect.
01:04:16Well, I'll be there, obviously, and my band, and look, it's 23 years since Idol.
01:04:23Wow.
01:04:23And what is crazy is that's older than some of those idols in the Top 12.
01:04:31Isn't it just, yeah.
01:04:31But I've been lucky enough to have so much support and that's what this is all about
01:04:35and these guys are experiencing it with all their own fans now, so thank you for being
01:04:39along for the ride, 23 years, 10 albums.
01:04:43There will be a lot of music at the show.
01:04:45Huge.
01:04:46Now, this tour is going from coast to coast.
01:04:48There's 16 dates around the country.
01:04:50Tickets are selling fast, so get yours now at guysebastian.com.
01:04:54Yes.
01:04:54Tonight is the first time Australia is voting.
01:04:57You know more than anyone how important it is to get behind your favourite idols, right?
01:05:00Oh, yeah.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:01I was in the bottom two, I think, a couple of times.
01:05:04Ooh.
01:05:04And, yes, I know.
01:05:06But, you know, a lot of the times you get complacent and you think, oh, they're so good,
01:05:10they'll get through, and then they get out and everyone cries.
01:05:13So, let's save the crying.
01:05:14Vote for your favourite.
01:05:16Get them through.
01:05:17Absolutely.
01:05:18Guy, it is so good to have you back at home on the idol stage.
01:05:21Give it up.
01:05:22One more time for Guy Sebastian.
01:05:28Of course.
01:05:30Up next, the judges will announce who they'll save from this week's public vote and send
01:05:35directly into the top ten.
01:05:37That moment of truth right after the break.
01:05:47You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:05:52They'll win a life-changing $100,000.
01:05:57Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards.

01:06:08Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing.
01:06:13And score an exclusive package to record new music at Sydney's Hive Sound Studios.
01:06:22What an awesome way to kickstart a career.
01:06:27Okay.
01:06:28All night, your idols have poured their hearts onto the stage.
01:06:32Now, the moment of truth has arrived.
01:06:35The judges have made their impossible choice.
01:06:40Who will they save from the public vote and send straight into the top ten?
01:06:46Yes.
01:06:47Marsha and Kyle.
01:06:49How difficult was tonight's decision?
01:06:52Quite difficult.
01:06:53Yeah.
01:06:53Because tonight, I loved everyone.
01:06:56Buddy.
01:06:56You guys really stepped up.
01:06:58Please.
01:06:58You know, you gotta own that, okay?
01:07:00It's been so impressive how you've changed and how you've taken your notes and how you've
01:07:06just decided, okay, so at this point in time, this is who I am.
01:07:10There's a lot more to come, but gee, I am so impressed.
01:07:14We are very impressed with you guys.
01:07:17Okay, it's time to find out who will be instantly locked into the top ten.
01:07:22All right, Amy, who have the judges decided to send through to the top ten?
01:07:32Seriously, one of the best nights of Idol ever.
01:07:36You guys, like ever.
01:07:39What a night.
01:07:40It was so tough.
01:07:44Really, really tough decision.
01:07:50But this person has a trajectory in this competition that tells us they're far from
01:08:00done.
01:08:03They have connection, emotion, star power.
01:08:12Incredible heart, most importantly.
01:08:15You know, and I think the audience can actually see your hearts.
01:08:19I don't know if you guys are aware of that, but that's what performance is when people actually
01:08:24see.
01:08:25You show who you are.
01:08:28So the person we are saving.
01:08:43The person going straight through isn't the one or the two.
01:08:49It's the one woo.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:57One woo.
01:08:59Congratulations.
01:09:04Look what you did to her judges.
01:09:07Wow.
01:09:08You are safe.
01:09:09You are safe from this week's elimination and straight into the top ten.
01:09:15What do you want to say to the judges?
01:09:19People used to tell me they would pay me to shut up, but now I can't even have words
01:09:23to...
01:09:24Whoa.
01:09:28You're welcome.
