00:00:02Last time on Australian Idol.
00:00:05Let's get this party started!
00:00:07The competition ramped up to a whole new level.
00:00:12Jessie's just here for the show.
00:00:14As our Idol hopefuls played to a live audience
00:00:18backed by a live band for the very first time.
00:00:22And the crowd goes wild!
00:00:25Some revealed superstar potential.
00:00:28There it is! There it is!
00:00:32You give me goosebumps.
00:00:34I think you're an absolute superstar.
00:00:36Welcome to the top 21.
00:00:41But some of your favourites.
00:00:44There's still so much work to do.
00:00:47Struggled to shine.
00:00:49That's the worst I've seen.
00:00:51We're gonna put you on notice.
00:00:54Leaving Cody, Sophie, Harry and Vince on notice.
00:00:59And at risk of leaving the competition.
00:01:03Tonight...
00:01:04Everyone on their feet, let's go!
00:01:06The most sublime performances are still to come.
00:01:10Alright!
00:01:10One of the best voices I've ever heard.
00:01:13Oh! My girl!
00:01:14As our remaining Idol hopefuls sing for survival.
00:01:18Dream crusher, bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire!
00:01:25But not every singer will be celebrating.
00:01:29Your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:01:33It just wasn't where it needed to be.
00:01:36You're gonna be on notice.
00:01:37Oh!
00:01:39Guys, like, this is the toughest part.
00:01:46Three must go home.
00:01:48When I look at all these people on notice,
00:01:51I'm actually shocked at who is there.
00:01:54Australia, by the end of tonight,
00:01:57you'll have your top 21.
00:02:00We have to make some incredibly difficult decisions.
00:02:03Only the strongest will get to the top 21.
00:02:06But there's one final twist no one could have predicted.
00:02:10Two of you left and only one spot into the top 21.
00:02:15And we're still undecided.
00:02:17No!
00:02:29And first to take to the stage tonight
00:02:33is Perth bartender Harriet.
00:02:40I work as a bartender,
00:02:42but I don't want to work behind the bar.
00:02:45I want to work for stage.
00:02:46And she served up an audition to remember.
00:02:49the bar.
00:02:51Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:00Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:03It would be a privilege to have that voice in this contest.
00:03:07You're why this show exists.
00:03:09Talent like you.
00:03:11But now Harriet is feeling shaken by the competition.
00:03:16The talent in this competition is sort of beyond belief.
00:03:20It can be quite intimidating and scary.
00:03:22I think that I've been quite in my head about it.
00:03:27Since, you know, I was very little,
00:03:29I knew I wanted to be a performer.
00:03:32So, everything does ride on this performance.
00:03:35This next performance is a really huge one for me.
00:03:39I'm doing Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo,
00:03:42who is one of my all-time favourite artists.
00:03:45And I am taking vocal risks.
00:03:48I don't know about that run.
00:03:50It's not working.
00:03:51What?
00:03:52Which section?
00:03:53That one high bit at the end.
00:03:54It is a vocally challenging song,
00:03:56and if nerves come in,
00:03:57this could be the finish point for me.
00:04:01Harriet, how are you feeling?
00:04:03I'm a little bit nervous,
00:04:04but I'm just trying to reframe all of that nervous energy
00:04:07into excitement so that I can go and have a good time out there.
00:04:11How do you go with nerves?
00:04:13I...
00:04:14I feel like sometimes I shake a little bit.
00:04:17Once you step up to the microphone,
00:04:19just take that second to take a breath
00:04:21and to centre yourself.
00:04:22It's so important,
00:04:23because there's just so much going on,
00:04:25but just it's always so important
00:04:26to just get yourself centred when you get out there.
00:04:29Yeah.
00:04:53I hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now.
00:04:57How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
00:05:00Just what you wanted.
00:05:03Look at you, cool guy, you got it.
00:05:07I see the parties and the diamonds,
00:05:09sometimes when I close my eyes,
00:05:11six months of torture your soul
00:05:12is some forbidden paradise.
00:05:14I loved you truly.
00:05:15You gotta laugh at the stupidity,
00:05:19cause I've made some real big mistakes.
00:05:23You made me look so naive,
00:05:26the way you sold me for parts,
00:05:30cause you sunk your teeth into me.
00:05:33Oh, blood sucker, dream crusher,
00:05:38bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:05:42I tried to help you out,
00:05:44now I know that I care,
00:05:45cause how you think's the kind of thing
00:05:47I'll never understand.
00:05:53I used to think I was smart,
00:05:57you made me look so naive,
00:06:01the way you sold me for parts,
00:06:05cause you sunk your teeth into me.
00:06:08Oh, blood sucker, dream crusher,
00:06:13bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:06:18Wow.
00:06:21Oh, wow.
00:06:23Oh, damn.
00:06:29Harriet, our bartender from WA.
00:06:33Yes.
00:06:34Well done.
00:06:35Thank you so much.
00:06:36Yeah, that was really cool,
00:06:38you know, like,
00:06:38you knew what you had to do
00:06:39and you did it.
00:06:40Well done.
00:06:40Thank you, I really appreciate that.
00:06:42Yeah.
00:06:44Yeah, I mean, you haven't,
00:06:48you haven't done anything wrong ever since we met you.
00:06:52We're like, it was just so professional.
00:06:55Thank you, I really appreciate it.
00:06:56Like it was like watching a real professional at work.
00:06:57Well done.
00:06:58That was solid.
00:07:06I have to say that's one of the best voices I've ever heard on the show.
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:24Thank you so much.
00:07:41Thank you so much.
00:07:44That's a second.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:51Harriet, you know, you're very solid in who you are.
00:07:55I love the way you present.
00:07:57I really dug your song choice and there's nothing more to be said
00:08:01except welcome to the top 20 I have.
00:08:04Thank you so much.
00:08:23I will through to the top 20 hun.
00:08:26It's kind of crazy, but it's good.
00:08:29All good things.
00:08:35Next to perform is 16 year old fifties fanatic, John.
00:08:40I am feeling a bit nervous.
00:08:44I've never sung for a crowd of this size before.
00:08:48So this is a huge step up.
00:08:53Well, it's one for the money, two for the show.
00:08:56Get ready now, go, get, go.
00:08:58I love my fifties kind of music.
00:09:01It's so upbeat and it's fun.
00:09:03And I feel really happy and have fun when I'm singing it.
00:09:12Well, you know you make me wanna kick my heels up.
00:09:16At his audition, John had the judges jiving at the desk.
00:09:20Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:09:24You know you make me wanna shout.
00:09:31I'm gonna call you Johnny Jukebox.
00:09:34That's your new name.
00:09:36How exciting.
00:09:38John, how are you feeling?
00:09:39I'm very nervous.
00:09:40What are you singing?
00:09:41Johnny Be Good.
00:09:42Oh, yeah!
00:09:44Oh, you're gonna have the best time.
00:09:45Good luck.
00:09:45Good luck, man.
00:10:15Up in wood, I lived a country boy named Johnny Be Good
00:10:19Never ever learned to read and write so hell
00:10:22But you can play the guitar just like a ring and a bell
00:10:25Go, go, go Johnny, go, go
00:10:30Go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:10:33Go, Johnny, go, go
00:10:36Go, Johnny, go, go
00:10:40Johnny Be Good, let's go
00:10:43He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
00:10:46Sit beneath a tree by the railroad track
00:10:49Go, engine ends can see him sitting in the shed
00:10:52Drummer with the rhythm that we drive to spade
00:10:55People passing by, then we're stopping to say
00:10:58Or am I in that little country boy can fade
00:11:01Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:11:05Go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:11:08Go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:11:12Go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:11:16Go, Johnny Be Good
00:11:35Go, Johnny, go, go, go
00:11:37Thank you
00:11:38Wow, do you guys know he's 16?
00:11:46How did that feel?
00:11:47You feel good?
00:11:47It's fun, it is so much fun
00:11:49Especially with this awesome band behind me
00:11:51Man
00:11:54I really love that
00:11:55Yeah, I love checking out how the audience responds
00:11:58And they responded to you really well
00:12:00Thank you
00:12:07Can I just say, John, your composure is really inviting
00:12:13So thank you, I really, really happily enjoyed that
00:12:18Thank you so much
00:12:25Yeah, I am
00:12:26Johnny, welcome to the top 21, baby
00:12:40Yes
00:12:40Yes
00:12:41Yes
00:12:42We got one
00:12:45Yes
00:12:47Top 21
00:12:48What a cool idea to sing Go, Johnny, go
00:12:53After two unforgettable performances
00:12:56We got three
00:12:57The next hopeful competing for a spot in the top 21 is Eva
00:13:06At her audition, Eva did something completely original
00:13:10You want us to choose which song you audition with?
00:13:13Yeah
00:13:14But top 30 week has put her to the test
00:13:18Mama told me not to waste my life
00:13:21There's so much going on in top 30 week
00:13:23I feel like it was a lot more intense than expected
00:13:25In chorus line
00:13:27It was my first time without the guitar
00:13:29These wings were made to fly
00:13:33I didn't do too well
00:13:34So Eva, you're on notice
00:13:38Being put on notice is scary
00:13:40I do not want to be on notice again
00:13:46Yay!
00:13:48Wow, yeah
00:13:49For my solo performance, I'm singing Crush by Jennifer Page
00:13:53I brought my guitar up
00:13:54Yes
00:13:56Only because it's a little bit of a comfort zone thing
00:13:58I just want to see if it works at all with the band
00:14:00And if it doesn't, then I'll just take it off
00:14:02And see how it goes performing without it
00:14:04I'm tossing up between performing without a guitar
00:14:07And performing with my guitar
00:14:09I find that performing with it really feels like home
00:14:19But it's also like a safety blanket
00:14:21And I don't want to like let that stop me from really performing
00:14:26Yeah, should I just get rid of it?
00:14:28I'll see how it goes
00:14:29It's up to you
00:14:30I feel like I should
00:14:31Yeah
00:14:32I just wanted to try anyway
00:14:33Just in case
00:14:34It's a massive risk not using my guitar
00:14:36But I feel like I need to prove myself
00:14:39I need to show the judges that I can do both
00:14:42I can perform without the guitar
00:14:45Being here at Idol means so much to me
00:14:49Yeah, it means everything to me
00:14:59This performance will either be a ticket to Top 21 or a ticket home
00:15:07That feeling
00:15:09It's just, it's nerve-wracking
00:15:24It's just, it's nerve-wracking
00:15:33I see you're blowing me
00:15:36Because it doesn't take a scientist to understand what's going on, baby
00:15:41If you see something in my eye, let's not overanalyze
00:15:46Don't go too deep in your face
00:15:48Let's pitch
00:15:50It's just a little crash
00:15:53Not like I'll face every time we turn
00:15:57It's just a little thing
00:16:01Not like everything I do
00:16:04Depends on you
00:16:06When you look at the moon
00:16:07Look at the moon in the skies
00:16:10Look at the moon in the skies
00:16:11Why pick a fence up in your eyes
00:16:15A vision of you and me
00:16:28A vision of you and me
00:16:32It's just a little thing
00:16:35It's just a little thing
00:16:36It's just a little thing
00:16:37It's just a little thing
00:16:50And I know everything I do
00:17:02You're up against the best of the best
00:17:04You know what I mean?
00:17:05Yeah, yeah
00:17:06It's like you've got to come out there so damn confident
00:17:09I don't want to even see a nerve
00:17:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:17:14Ever
00:17:14It was a bit pitchy
00:17:16You know, it was a bit shaky
00:17:18There's a place for grounding as well
00:17:20So if you ever feel like you're getting a bit bumpy
00:17:24Stay put
00:17:27Ever, a couple things
00:17:29I would just say watch your pitch and your intonation
00:17:32We need better than that
00:17:35Give us a second
00:17:39It's hot because
00:17:41I see
00:17:42I see
00:17:43I see
00:17:44I see
00:17:44I see
00:17:45I see
00:17:45I see
00:17:49Okay, Ever
00:17:51Like we said, it just wasn't where it needed to be
00:17:55Yeah
00:17:56Um
00:17:57And for that
00:17:59You're gonna be on notice
00:18:04Guys, this is like
00:18:05This is the toughest part
00:18:07This is, you know what I mean?
00:18:08You don't want to send her out into the big bad world
00:18:10Being all shaky
00:18:11She's got to be good
00:18:12And this is gonna
00:18:13This is for the best
00:18:14It's because we want you to be great
00:18:15Yeah, thank you
00:18:16Yeah, alright?
00:18:17We really do it
00:18:27Yeah, you get booed a lot

00:18:40I was just so excited
00:18:41And I was really hoping
00:18:42That I would do a lot better
00:18:46Yeah
00:18:49And I've got so many people to make proud
00:18:52Including myself

00:19:15And just giving the crowd
00:19:17Everything I have

00:19:22I will definitely be doing that
00:19:25Oh!
00:19:30When you come back on
00:19:31I felt like everything just went
00:19:33Like
00:19:34Chaotic
00:19:36Coming into the solo challenge
00:19:37It's about balancing
00:19:38All this like
00:19:39Energy
00:19:40And also like

00:25:19um i think i went good i did fumble a bit at the start with the lyrics which i'm disappointed
00:25:23in myself for doing but kept it going the show goes on tried to keep the vibes high so
00:25:30yeah happy with how i carried through regardless of the mistake that's the important thing about an
00:25:35artist if you mess up or you have a hiccup you must keep going and find calm and balance through
00:25:41the chaos that's just happened totally natalie you've picked a lane that is the hardest lane
00:25:48it's a genre that unless executed at the highest level
00:25:52falls that definitely just didn't showcase a pop star just yet
00:26:01okay let's we'll just have a quick we'll have a quick talk thank you
00:26:18okay okay okay okay okay okay
00:26:27with the standard of singers that we have the mess up at the beginning and taking everything
00:26:33into consideration unfortunately we are going to put you on notice no i i get it thank you thank you
00:26:42so much guys
00:26:44i don't want to hate these moments i know you do when you get people
00:26:50coming up my biggest concern is not forget the lyrics will the pressure of the solo challenge
00:26:58what happened push our contestants past their breaking point a lot of your vocal gymnastics
00:27:05didn't land i don't want to cry and the shy forklift driver is about to be tested like never before
00:27:15thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit it's making me anxious and that's
00:27:19making me overthink i feel like i'm constantly at war with myself in my head so that's been the hardest
00:27:25scene
00:27:31oh marsha you look divine honestly
00:27:33you know my mother used to say to me if a girl tells you you look nice leave it the
00:27:39solo challenge
00:27:40is where dreams are made or crushed so our next singer is determined to claim her spot in the top
00:27:4821. i've realized there is so much talent here and there's a lot of competition
00:27:54the judges they're not only looking for the vocals but they're looking for the the stage presence the
00:28:00performance like someone who can be an idol and i think i've got that if i want to make it
00:28:07to the top
00:28:0721 i'm gonna really have to prove myself good luck have fun
00:28:14next up it's the 70s chick from the gold coast with a disco classic jamie
00:28:38one of the best people that i've got
00:28:40because if i do i would surely
00:28:45Surely you lose a lie
00:28:48Cause your love is better
00:28:52Than any love I know

00:30:48respect to the song because it's such an amazing song and so i tried to hold it back a little

00:34:35Hi.
00:34:36The wiggity, wiggity, wiggity, wiggity man.
00:34:40You know, I was looking around the room, and we often do that.
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:44You know, as judges, we look around the room and see how the audience are engaging.
00:34:48Like, your vibe, you were bringing it, you had spirit, you were rapping.
00:34:52The beginning got me.
00:34:54I think you were kind of, like, startled, and then that kind of went to 100.
00:34:59Do you know what I mean?
00:35:01Did you, I don't know, please tell me, how did you feel?
00:35:03Yeah, it was a bit nerve-wracking.
00:35:05I just, like, missed the beat by accident.
00:35:08But then as soon as I hit the next line, I was back in it.
00:35:10I was just having the time of my life, honestly.
00:35:12Yeah, it was great.
00:35:16Let me tell you, I mean, I just came off a show with Snoop Dogg.
00:35:21Oh, night drop.
00:35:23Right.
00:35:24And there was a moment where my pack just literally went mute, and I could not hear anything.
00:35:32This was in front of more than 100,000 people.
00:35:35What I had to do was watch him.
00:35:38That's so smart, Jess.
00:35:39And just imagine that that was a song.
00:35:43Don't get me wrong, I practiced.
00:35:45I made sure that I was prepared for anything to happen.
00:35:48And in that moment, I just had to keep going, and you kept going.
00:35:54Thank you, John.
00:35:57You were so ahead of the beat.
00:35:59Like, you really were rushing it.
00:36:03I felt you being like, okay, I've got the lyrics, yep, it's here, it's here.
00:36:06I've just got to get it, get them out, because you're always petrified of losing your lyrics.
00:36:10I know that.
00:36:15I don't know if you're there yet, to be honest.
00:36:21It's incredibly exciting to walk on stage and feel the madness of the crowd just push you up to places
00:36:29you never knew you could go.
00:36:30But in amongst all that madness, you've got to find...
00:36:37Please excuse us.
00:36:38Yes.
00:36:51You have so much potential, and I just, I see it.
00:36:55I'm seeing the future of it.
00:37:07Asha?
00:37:08Welcome to the top 21.
00:37:10Yes!
00:37:13Yes!
00:37:19Thank you guys so much.
00:37:21Thank you guys so much.
00:37:23Thank you guys so much.
00:37:25Thank you so much.
00:37:31Yes!
00:37:34Top 21!
00:37:37Oh, I'm so relieved.
00:37:39I'm so relieved.
00:37:40I was under so much stress when I forgot that first line, and that first line I was off beat.
00:37:45And then I was like, I almost fainted, I swear.
00:37:47And then I managed to get it back, and I'm just...
00:37:50I have no words, honestly.
00:37:52Top 21!
00:37:54Yeah!
00:37:56Yeah!
00:37:57It's so good.
00:38:10That was gorgeous.
00:38:12That was gorgeous.
00:38:12Your voice is just something else.
00:38:15Then, they're putting a spin on a classic.
00:38:18I'm going to be singing Love Don't Cost A Thing,
00:38:21but I'm going to be elitifying it.
00:38:24I'm singing a little song called Thriller.
00:38:27Is it a big risk?
00:38:28I get what you did, but I kind of wish you hadn't.
00:38:32Or a big reward?
00:38:34Welcome to the Top 21.
00:38:43Top 30 week is tough, brutal.
00:38:47And for some, the solo performance is the last chance
00:38:50to convince the judges they belong in the Top 21.
00:38:56The Top 30 week is pretty intense.
00:38:58I'm definitely feeling the pressure,
00:39:00especially because I got a golden ticket in the room at the audition,
00:39:04but you're only as good as your last performance.
00:39:08And Lockie's last performance, disappointed.
00:39:12That was one of the worst group performances
00:39:15I have ever seen.
00:39:17I was put on notice.
00:39:19I definitely hope that my solo performance is my redemption.
00:39:22I'm not afraid to take risks
00:39:24if it means a spot in that Top 21.
00:39:26Good look.
00:39:28Look at this look.
00:39:29Oh, my God.
00:39:29You guys are joining.
00:39:31It's a yes for me.
00:39:33Anyway, straight to the Top 21.
00:39:34Let's go.
00:39:35What are you going to be singing?
00:39:37I'm singing a little song called Thriller.
00:39:40It's a bit more of a, like, modern twist on it,
00:39:43so I'm excited to, yeah, present that for the judges.
00:39:46Wow, I can't wait to see where you take this song.
00:39:48Are you ready to go?
00:39:49I am.
00:39:49Because I think they're almost ready for you.
00:39:50OK.
00:40:11It's close to midnight.
00:40:13There's something else lurking in the dark
00:40:19Under the moonlight
00:40:22You see a sight that almost tops your heart
00:40:26You try to speak
00:40:29You tell me to take the sound before you make it
00:40:34You start to freeze
00:40:37But I look so right between the eyes
00:40:41You're paralyzed
00:40:47Thriller, thriller night
00:40:50No one's gonna save you from the beast about to shine
00:40:55Thriller, thriller night
00:40:59You're fighting for your life inside a killer, killer tonight
00:41:04You're fighting for your life
00:41:05You're fighting for your life
00:41:05You're fighting for your life
00:41:15Lucky
00:41:19You know, you heard that song
00:41:21Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
00:41:24You can't touch this
00:41:26Michael Jackson, the genius
00:41:29Sometimes when you know a song so well
00:41:32Your head just won't take you to the other place
00:41:35But creatively, I get what you did
00:41:40But I kind of wish you hadn't
00:41:42No, I'm only telling the truth
00:41:47Loughlin, you're a dancer
00:41:48Who really wants to sing
00:41:50And I get it
00:41:51And you can sing
00:41:52But that was really fraught with danger
00:41:54With what you just did then
00:41:56Yeah, no, definitely
00:41:58It is, like, such an iconic song
00:41:59And I'm such a big fan of Michael Jackson
00:42:01And that song in particular
00:42:02So, yeah, I definitely understand
00:42:04Where you're coming from, absolutely
00:42:05And I think maybe because I'm such a big fan of that song
00:42:08That's why I wanted to perform it
00:42:09But, yeah, I absolutely see what you're saying
00:42:11For sure
00:42:13Lucky
00:42:15That song is so technical, you know
00:42:17And if you're going to do a technical song
00:42:20You really want to hit those points
00:42:22Because it's so
00:42:23People are so familiar with it
00:42:24It was just very left field
00:42:27Yeah, vocally, it didn't cut through
00:42:29And that was just the wrong song
00:42:32Thank you
00:42:33Thank you, appreciate that
00:42:36It's so, yeah
00:42:37It's so good
00:42:38You're in danger though
00:42:40And it's like
00:42:41It becomes danger
00:42:42And risky
00:42:45So, Loughlin, you know
00:42:49It's an unfortunate thing
00:42:50But you are now put on notice
00:42:55Thank you
00:42:58Thank you
00:43:03I've been put on notice
00:43:05It's a little bit disappointing
00:43:07Being put on notice again
00:43:09Two days in a row
00:43:12You have all those, like, voices
00:43:13In the back of your head
00:43:14Saying, like
00:43:15Do I really deserve to be here
00:43:17I don't think Top 30 Week
00:43:18Has really shown the best to me at all
00:43:21I'd definitely love to be given another chance
00:43:24We're not ready to go home yet
00:43:27Next up is Kesha
00:43:29The singing skier
00:43:31From Jindaby
00:43:31Who's hoping to somersault straight
00:43:34Into your Top 21
00:43:42My first competition was on Jindy Idol
00:43:48It's a bit bigger than Jindy Idol
00:43:50But this opportunity is just unreal
00:43:52It's really cool
00:43:53This is a world away from where you've come from
00:43:55How's it feel?
00:43:56Yeah, cool
00:43:57It's all the seats
00:44:22It's cool
00:44:23Ballad-y type songs
00:44:24So
00:44:25I hope I don't bore the judges
00:44:27And the audience members
00:44:29With that
00:44:30So I hope I can really connect to them
00:44:31On the storytellers level
00:44:33And that'll be
00:44:33That'll be a really cool achievement
00:44:35So, yeah
00:44:36Fingers, toes crossed
00:44:38Okay, Kesha
00:44:39Thank you
00:44:42Give it up
00:44:43For Kesha
00:45:05I can't write one song
00:45:08It's not about you
00:45:11Can't drink without
00:45:13Thinking about you
00:45:15Is it too late
00:45:17To tell you that
00:45:19Everything means nothing
00:45:21If I can't have you
00:45:23In Toronto
00:45:25When I've got this view
00:45:27But I might as well be in a hotel room
00:45:33Doesn't matter
00:45:34Cause I'm so consumed
00:45:37Spending all my nights
00:45:39Reading takes from you
00:45:41And oh
00:45:43I'm good at keeping my distance
00:45:46I know
00:45:47You're the feeling
00:45:49I'm missing
00:45:50You know
00:45:52I hate to admit it
00:45:55But everything means nothing
00:45:57If I can't have you
00:46:14Everything means nothing
00:46:18Everything means nothing
00:46:27If I can't have you
00:46:37If I can't have you
00:46:40Thank you
00:46:48Wow
00:46:50Kesha, our skier from the snowy mountains
00:46:54That was gorgeous
00:46:56I mean
00:46:58It's not very often
00:46:59I watch someone
00:47:00And I think to myself
00:47:01Wow, that could be your song
00:47:02I was just lost in it
00:47:04Yeah
00:47:04Thank you so much
00:47:05Thank you
00:47:10Kesha, I'm quite aware
00:47:12That you gig
00:47:12Yeah
00:47:13How'd that feel?
00:47:14Oh, I love singing with a band
00:47:16I just
00:47:16I love sharing the stage
00:47:18With other musicians
00:47:20It's the coolest feeling ever
00:47:22It's so cool
00:47:23And having everyone here
00:47:24Is just like
00:47:25Unreal
00:47:25It's awesome
00:47:32Your voice is just
00:47:33Yeah, it is
00:47:34It is something else
00:47:35It's like
00:47:36It's crackly
00:47:38And it's like
00:47:38It's emotional
00:47:39Yeah
00:47:40I cannot fault anything
00:47:43Thank you so much
00:47:44I appreciate it so much
00:47:45No worries

00:48:16As Kesha celebrates
00:48:18Well done
00:48:18Our next performer
00:48:20Is determined
00:48:21To put her
00:48:22Top 30 week struggles
00:48:23Behind her
00:48:24And continue
00:48:25On her idle journey
00:48:27Alita, I wrote
00:48:28Looks great
00:48:28Sounds great
00:48:29Boring
00:48:30In the group challenge
00:48:32Amy mentioned
00:48:33That I didn't stand out
00:48:35Although there were
00:48:36Moments in that
00:48:37I feel like it was
00:48:38The Jamie show
00:48:39You're all gonna be on notice
00:48:42If I'm put
00:48:43On notice again
00:48:45I'll be getting sent home
00:48:46So this is so intense
00:48:49This has been my dream
00:48:50So I'm not gonna give up
00:48:52Anytime soon
00:48:55I'm gonna have to
00:48:55Do whatever I can do
00:48:57To stand out
00:48:58I've done a little
00:48:59Tweaking
00:49:00To see how it goes
00:49:01Yeah, you gotta make it your own
00:49:02For sure
00:49:03A little bit, yeah
00:49:03For the solo challenge
00:49:05I'm gonna be singing
00:49:06Love Don't Cost A Thing
00:49:07By J-Lo
00:49:08But I'm gonna be
00:49:09Alita-fying it
00:49:12I'm gonna make
00:49:13Little changes
00:49:14To the melody
00:49:15Bringing Alita
00:49:17Into the song
00:49:18I know you've changed up
00:49:20The verse
00:49:21Melody
00:49:22I think
00:49:23That you need
00:49:23To find a halfway point
00:49:25Just work on that
00:49:26First verse
00:49:26In terms of melody
00:49:27Yeah, okay
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:31I need to
00:49:32Take that risk
00:49:33I'm just gonna put
00:49:34Everything into it
00:49:35To stand out
00:49:42When you were the pitch
00:49:44The escalate
00:49:45Saw the W gate
00:49:46To the valley
00:49:47To daddy was gay
00:49:48When you look for me
00:49:49Pulling up his hips
00:49:51So I could see a holy flame
00:49:52Stay a lady in
00:49:53The corner booth
00:49:54Raising up her toes
00:49:55So I would notice you
00:49:57What you have done
00:49:58You're thinking
00:49:58I don't know
00:49:59Doesn't matter
00:50:00If you're pulling out
00:50:01I'm out of control
00:50:01All that fantasy
00:50:03That you're dreaming right
00:50:05Give me all the things
00:50:07I need
00:50:08That money
00:50:09Give back
00:50:10Yeah
00:50:10Think you gotta keep me out
00:50:13You don't
00:50:14Think I'm gonna spend
00:50:14You guess I won't
00:50:16Even if you won't
00:50:17My love
00:50:18Don't pass a thing
00:50:30What happened?
00:50:32I think I felt good there
00:50:33I felt like I was vibing with the crowd
00:50:36And I just gave it my all
00:50:38My energy
00:50:38It was feeling good
00:50:40Okay
00:50:42Because it didn't sound as if you'd found the note
00:50:45In the beginning
00:50:47You got it in the end
00:50:49But the beginning of the song
00:50:50It sounded like
00:50:51Two totally different sounds
00:50:53Yeah I thought you might have lost the lyrics
00:50:54Yes
00:50:54For a second
00:50:55Do you know that you did that?
00:50:58I mean I thought I was on
00:51:01Like pitch
00:51:02But maybe I was wrong
00:51:04To lose it and not know
00:51:05That's a worry
00:51:07Yeah
00:51:09Anyway we're gonna have a chat
00:51:10Yeah
00:51:10About it
00:51:11Yeah
00:51:11Yeah
00:51:12Yeah
00:51:23Um
00:51:26At this point in time I have to be very honest
00:51:28I have to put you on notice
00:51:31Okay
00:51:32I'm so sorry
00:51:33But it is what it is
00:51:35Mm-hmm
00:51:35Okay thank you
00:51:36Thank you
00:51:40That's good
00:51:41I'm gonna be direct
00:51:41Come on
00:51:44Yeah
00:51:45Yay
00:51:45Woo
00:51:49Ah
00:51:49Ah
00:51:55Don't cry
00:51:56Don't ruin that gorgeous face
00:51:58Yeah
00:52:01Don't ruin that gorgeous face
00:52:03I don't want to cry
00:52:05Music is my whole life
00:52:06So I just hope I will make him
00:52:12yeah it's not over
00:52:16next the cinderella story your voice is so so fragile you kind of don't know where you fit
00:52:24that will melt your heart i've been denied so many opportunities because i'm different
00:52:30the fact that i'm here right now and this is really really really special
00:52:35then for the singers on notice the judges have a massive twist we have decided that it's time
00:52:47for no
00:52:54with eight performers on notice and facing elimination from the competition
00:53:01tonight's final singer is forklift driver jacinta whose unique voice caught the judge's attention
00:53:17it's a cool voice it's really cool it's really authentic and different you just are you which
00:53:24is the trick just had a lot of rejection and a lot of no so this means a lot yeah
00:53:32to have made it this far has already been such a blessing
00:53:35is that a golden ticket
00:53:36i think to make the top 21 would be really special
00:53:45the biggest challenge has been my confidence
00:53:47i just i really struggled it back myself yeah i feel like i know it but i'm i'm scared i'm
00:53:54gonna
00:53:55miss it did i okay maybe i got it and i'm just in my head i know that there's an
00:53:59immense amount
00:54:00of pressure coming with this solo performance being in the theater seeing all the seats knowing
00:54:05they're all going to be filmed is uh a bit daunting
00:54:10thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit it's making me anxious and it's making
00:54:14me overthink i feel like i'm constantly at war with myself in my head i've had more doors closed
00:54:20than open and so i really yeah hid in the shadows really pushed myself back got in my little box
00:54:27opportunities like this don't come around often especially for people like me
00:54:36coming into the solo challenge i really want to prove that i can back myself i can be confident
00:54:43i can own a stage and own a moment and not hide away from it if i'm not supporting myself
00:54:50or rooting
00:54:51for myself how can i expect anyone else to do that
00:55:20you and me
00:55:22you and me
00:55:31i really feel that i'm losing my best friend i can't believe this could be the end it looks so
00:55:48slow you're letting go and if i can't believe this could be the end it looks so slow you're letting
00:55:53go
00:55:53if it's real then i don't want to know
00:55:58don't speak i know just what you're saying so please stop explaining don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:11don't speak i know what you're thinking i don't need a reason don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:25i know what you're thinking i don't need a reason don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:46thank you thank you
00:56:49thank you
00:56:50thank you
00:56:51thank you
00:56:52it hurts
00:56:52Jacinta our forklift driver from victoria
00:56:55yeah
00:56:56the forklift driver
00:57:00you honestly that haunting voice is so gorgeous and i i actually everyone's like oh we'd love to
00:57:08see jacinta when we do the big glow-ups and like you know we get to that stage and stuff
00:57:12but i
00:57:12kind of like that you dress like kirk cobain i think it's sick yeah um your voice is so like
00:57:19it's so fragile yeah it's a real niche sound and i love it but i do wonder where it's gonna
00:57:29go
00:57:30i've been denied so many opportunities because i'm different and i don't really fit
00:57:35anywhere um so the fact that i'm here right now and you're listening to me and giving me the time
00:57:40is really really really special
00:57:51um i think inside you there's there's just fire you know i think each time you step out and we
00:57:58give you an opportunity you you do rise and you light up you kind of don't know where you fit
00:58:03you fit just right my girl yeah it's way cooler not fitting in yeah way yeah for sure all right
00:58:11give us two seconds
00:58:26when you said i don't fit anywhere my heart really hurt because it actually took me so long to find
00:58:32my place as well and it's unbelievable what music can do
00:58:40because the second i was launched into it i'm like oh my god i found my people i can see
00:58:47that
00:58:47that's that's gonna happen to you eventually it's gonna open so many doors for you

00:59:37could ever dream of i feel like every challenge i put up against every every performance i'm
00:59:47slowly just getting more and more confident more myself just more sure of myself
00:59:58the judges have seen all of the solo performances
01:00:02and now they must decide who will be eliminated from the competition
01:00:12eight singers have been put on notice and for three of them their idle journey will end tonight
01:00:21this has been tough it's been full of surprises when i look at all these people on notice i'm
01:00:27actually shocked at who is there so i've got to be really honest i cannot believe that he's on the
01:00:34board because i yes i expected so much yeah and also she was really cool i know yeah as soon
01:00:40as
01:00:41she walked out i was like oh we've got we've got a good one yeah and then it just it
01:00:44the wheels really
01:00:45fell off it's true yeah and this girl that worried me yeah a lot yes so we've got these two
01:00:51girls yes
01:00:52all right they are super similar they they want this exact same lane lane yeah and i don't think
01:00:59we can take both no let's do this let's go all right next
01:01:07i'm hoping with everything in me that i make it through because this is what i've worked so hard for

01:01:18the rest of my
01:01:19life who will survive and take their place in your top 21 and whose idle dreams are over
