02:56an all aussie music playlist we had songs from farnsey crowded house kylie tones and i so many
03:03more it was banger after banger on sunday night the first half of your top 10 performed and it was
03:10absolutely incredible then last night the second group took to the stage and showed australia why
03:16they are the complete package and deserving of your votes the voting was open for each heat for 24
03:24hours but i can confirm voting has closed and we are now verifying the numbers before we reveal

04:16from coast to coast the country tuned in for an all aussie showdown this one's for you australia let's do
04:23this
04:31what a way to kick off the show man
04:35nice work it was so exciting i just love being on the stage with such a buzz
04:44you just sound like heaven you little sexy bastard too aren't you but then the harshest critic emerged
04:56i hate it
05:00i thought that was rubbish oh what that whole angsty stuff you're a nicer guy than that
05:07artists grow and i think
05:09just too soft to be hard i don't think so i think a soft guy can definitely be a rock
05:14star on stage
05:15look amy she loves rock and roll but look at her that's the real amy there in a pretty little
05:19satin dress
05:20i don't think we've ever seen someone grow so much on this show before
05:28you still look a little nervous strutting around considering that was like my first time moving that much i think
05:34i did
05:35pretty okay yeah
05:36and one idol delivered a performance australia won't forget
05:41i'm hopelessly devoted to you
05:45you've got a great gift you did a brilliant job
05:49scoring our singing skier from jinderbine the judges save
05:53kesha hay
05:55getting the judges saved is like
05:57i can't even comprehend
06:01now the moment has arrived
06:03some of the performances have been so full of hearts
06:06and i hope that's what australia saw
06:08whose idol journey will end tonight
06:11i really hope that australia can see the effort that i've put into that performance
06:14i'm not ready to go home to so much more show
06:16i want to keep living out my dreams on that stage and i don't want to go it's not my

07:12amy the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes will sing again tonight

14:50Are you in the bottom two? Jacinta, how do you feel? Did you expect that?
14:55Look, I mean, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two, but, you know,
15:00I've been in bottom places for a long time, so I'm just going to enjoy the next performance
15:06and have fun if it's my last one, and thanks for voting for me anyway.
15:10That's the way. Good attitude, girlfriend. Come over here and join us, Harry.
15:14Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night, unfortunately you both face elimination,
15:21which means you'll sing again to show Australia why you deserve to be here next week.
15:26Harry and Jacinta, head on backstage and get ready to perform again for what may be the last time.
15:34Amy, some super talented singers in trouble at the moment. How does that sit with you?
15:41I mean, it's just difficult, right, because they got through all these challenges.
15:45I just think that they should try and see this as positive as they can.
15:50You know, we are at the pointy end of the whole competition.
15:53They have done so well, so I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have.
15:57Just remind everyone how great they are.
15:59Absolutely.
16:02Marsha, it's live TV, and this is a crucial moment for Harry and Jacinta.
16:07How much pressure are they under right now?
16:10You know, a lot of pressure.
16:11I was watching the first song, you know, that they sang, you know, the group thing,
16:14and I was saying that, Kyle, you know, we don't have television shows anymore
16:18where people learn the craft of being on television,
16:21and that's one of the best things about the show.
16:24Yeah.
16:25You know, you learn to wait, you learn to sort of step up when you have to,
16:28and I think everyone has done a sterling job.
16:31Not just that, Marsha, but, like, the performances, and they're up early,
16:35and they're learning new songs every week, and they're learning group songs,
16:38and they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight.
16:41It's the best training group.
16:43They're doing charity things, they're doing interviews.
16:44Yeah, it's relentless.
16:46It's 24-7.
16:46They're working, okay?
16:47They're working, and that's totally impressive.
16:50It's wonderful.
16:51Yeah, it is.
16:51Super impressive, yeah.
16:54Kyle, if they're listening backstage right now,
16:56have you got anything to say to Harry and Jacinta before they sing again?
17:00Yes.
17:00You were both the weakest on the show on that Sunday night.
17:05Australia's got it right.
17:06Prove to us why you deserve to stay here,
17:08so best of luck to both of them.
17:10Okay.
17:11Okay, well, Harry and Jacinta, face elimination,
17:14performing under this pressure.
17:16It's just not easy.
17:17No.
17:18First to take to the stage, though,
17:19is our fabulous forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh.
17:23She's given us inspiring performances week after week.
17:28So, to prove why she should stay in the competition
17:30with a new song to show off her talent,
17:33singing Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara,
17:36please welcome Jacinta.
17:59She just wants to be beautiful she does.
18:04I know that she knows no limits.
18:09She craves attention.
18:11She praises an image.
18:14She prays to be sculpted by the sculpture.
18:18There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.
18:23You should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
18:28You won't have to change a thing,
18:31the world could change a time.
18:33No stars, you're beautiful.
18:36We're stars, we're beautiful.
18:48You won't have to change a thing,
18:51the world could change a time.
18:53No stars, you're beautiful.
18:56We're stars, we're beautiful.
19:04That's so beautiful.
19:16Oh Jacinta you know what sometimes you're amazing tonight's one of those nights did
19:22yourself proud that's the perfect song for you don't you think yeah and if you
19:26do go home tonight I'm sure we'll see you again sometime in the future best of
19:31luck Jacinta your transformation has been truly truly something to watch
19:35vocally as well as the way you present yourself now and you should be very
19:41proud of yourself regardless Jacinta thank you so much I second that I just the
19:48transformation is just insane and I think you know when you walked into that
19:53audition room hearing such a unique voice I'm just so proud of you for getting
19:57this far you know I mean it's just it's just incredible and no matter what
20:02happens I think now is the time for you to just become totally unstoppable thank
20:06you
20:10Jacinta you gorgeous thing how did that feel that felt really good I felt like I was
20:15looking at all these beautiful people in the crowd and just being like oh my gosh

20:23really beautiful moment I can't explain it felt great yep you've done an amazing job every step
20:28of the way give it up for Jacinta everybody
20:30all right after the break Harry will perform and then we'll find out which
20:38one of them Jacinta or Harry will be leaving the competition tonight don't go
20:42anywhere idols live verdict show will continue after this
20:55you're locked on the live verdict show and before the break we learned that
21:00Jacinta and Harry from Sunday night's show received the lowest number of votes
21:04Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song on the idol stage in a bid to
21:09prove why she deserves to be here now it's Harry's turn he's our barber from
21:14Ballarat in Victoria singing how to save a life from the fray this is Harry
21:40step one you say we need to talk he walks you say sit down it's just a talk she smiles
21:51politely back at you you step politely right on through some sort of window to
22:00the right she goes left and you'll stay right between the lines of fear and blame you'll begin to wonder
22:12why you came and where did I go wrong I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness and how
22:21would I stay up with you all night had I known how to save a life I would have stayed
22:30up with you all night
22:30I would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save a life
22:50well done Harry I look I I loved I have loved watching watching you grow I remember your audition you
23:00even wrote the
23:00lyrics in your arm remember that I do remember and just to see where you've come like even doing something
23:06like that without guitars or stands or anything like I think I would even struggle
23:11let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two so well done for performing and also well done
23:18for taking criticism on like live television it's like no it's it's one thing to read it as a comment
23:27online because you know we all get that we all it's not always positive but I think I know I'm
23:30going to be
23:30live online but to go like you know to handle that and I think you did it with grace and
23:36maturity and so well done man this has been a real journey for you I'm proud of you
23:40I really appreciate it thanks
23:45you know and Harry as I said from the get go from the very beginning you've got one of the

23:54your journey well done man
23:55thank you Marsha cheers

31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool.
31:57Bujara, your list of accolades is huge for someone so young.
32:02Amongst so many of the things that you've done,
32:04you've performed at the AFL Grand Final,
32:05you've toured with Ed Sheeran, won a stack of awards.
32:08What would you say is the highlight for you?
32:11Oh, you know, I guess this is my highlight.
32:15I used to love watching American Idol as a kid
32:18and my mum used to have dreams that I would be singing on American Idol
32:21and here we are.
32:23Here you are, an Australian Idol, doing your thing,
32:25you suave, gentlemen, you.
32:28The song we just heard, Gentlemen, a suave, sexy R&B number.
32:32Tell us a little bit about it.
32:35Yeah, well, Gentlemen is my new single.
32:37I just wanted to...
32:38I like dressing up, so I thought this would be the perfect song.
32:42And it's out now.
32:44It's from my new album, Gentlemen.
32:46You can pre-order.
32:47It's out on the 24th of July.
32:49Yeah.
32:49Nice.
32:50What did you guys think?
32:51Did you love Bujara's performance?
32:54Of course.
32:55You can download and stream Gentlemen right now
32:58and get the new album on July 24th.
33:01Australia, give it up for Bujara!
33:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:08OK, it's business time.
33:10Right up the break, we find out who you voted
33:12into the top eight from last night's show.
33:16Already there is our doting dad, Trey,
33:18from Melbourne, Victoria.
33:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:21Who the judges...
33:22Who got the judges' say?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela
33:26all facing elimination.
33:28One must go home.
33:30Don't move a muscle.
33:32Idol is back in a moment.
33:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:44This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47and we're about to find out who stays
33:49and who goes from last night's show.
33:52The tension is getting too much, Scotty.
33:54I can't handle it.
33:55It's a lot.
33:55It's a lot in here.
33:56Well, there are a record number of votes
33:57that we received as you voted
33:59for who you wanted to save.
34:02Last night, we saw performances
34:04from our Perth soul man, Charlie.
34:07Brisbane Ballot King, Harlan.
34:10And our all-singing, all-rapping Wanwu.
34:15Plus young dad, Trey.
34:19And Adelaide schoolteacher, Samela.
34:23They went all out and left nothing on the stage.
34:28Let's take a look at how last night played out.
34:33Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
34:36One, two, three, come on!
34:39The Aussie party kept on coming.
34:42And yeah, I had a dream
34:45So individual and so different
34:47and you know what you need to do
34:49and you did it tonight.
34:51Well done.
34:51Hoping I've done enough.
34:52I gave it every single bit of juice that I had.
34:55There's nothing left in the tank, you know?
34:58Some performances were untouchable.
35:03That was Grammy performance right there.
35:07R to the R to the CKR!
35:10Vicky Lee, girl, yeah, you're so fly!
35:14Others brought the house down.
35:18You're very real.
35:20I just want to go and have a beer with you.
35:22Amy and I are going to get a schooner.
35:24Or two schooners.
35:26Double parked.
35:28And one idol dared to take on Aussie music royalty.
35:35For an expensive church of paradise!
35:40What the actual harlot is going on?
35:42Only the bravest or the craziest human being on earth
35:46would get on this stage and sing John Farnham live
35:49and he smacked it.
35:52I'll be messed up if you can't be right here
35:55But one hit song was turned into a moment of idol magic.
36:04You're so ready for the world stage, Trey.
36:07Because you are amazing.
36:08Thank you so much.
36:09Saving our young dad from the public vote.
36:13Trey.
36:17I'm over the moon.
36:19I can't stop smiling.
36:21Tonight's been off its head.
36:24Now it all comes down to this.
36:28Everyone's saying this is the best title ever.
36:30I have to agree.
36:31I really hope Australia has voted for me
36:33because I am just at the beginning of this journey
36:37and I have so much to show.
36:39Who's heading into the top eight?
36:42Wonder who?
36:43I'm the one, two.
36:44And now I'm in the top ten.
36:45Get me through to the top eight.
36:51What a night.
36:53Everyone brought their A game
36:55and every performance was incredible.
36:58I can't pick how this is going to go tonight.
37:00It really is anyone's game.
37:02With Trey scoring the judge save,
37:05he can relax over there in the lounge
37:07knowing he has a guaranteed place in the top eight.
37:11For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela,
37:15their future hangs in the balance.
37:18All right, everybody.
37:19Let's do this.
37:20Hit the lights.
37:23Idols, in no particular order,
37:26when we call your name, come on over.
37:30First up, Samela.
37:38Hello, how are you?
37:40Hello, guys, I'm good.
37:41Samela, our mum and teacher from Adelaide.
37:46Last night, you sang the iconic Aussie classic,
37:50Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it,
37:52but it's Australia who has the final say.
37:57How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy palms test.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:03Confirmed.
38:04Okay, Samela, Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:10you are...
38:16safe.
38:17Safe.
38:19Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:22You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Come on up, Samela.
38:30All right.
38:31Next up, we have got...
38:34Wan Wu.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:40Should we just rip the band-aid off
38:42because that face looks like...
38:44Please, take it off.
38:46Okay, we'll do it gently.
38:47Okay, because you sang Ricky Lee's
38:49Can't Touch It.
38:50I nailed it.
38:51Ricky loved it,
38:53but did Australia.
38:55After the nation voted,
38:57I can confirm
38:59that you are...
39:01...
39:07in the bottom two.
39:10All right, that really isn't
39:12the result that you wanted, right?
39:14Not at all, not at all,
39:15but Australia voted
39:16and I just have to prove
39:18Australia wrong.
39:19Yeah, you do.
39:20100%, yeah.
39:20Yeah, you do.
39:21I can see the judges.
39:22Marsha's pointing right now.
39:24Do you want to say something, Marsha?
39:25Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
39:27You know, this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have anything
39:30to do with this and people are watching
39:32and this is what they're voting for
39:34and I think at this point in time,
39:36mm-mm, they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:38Oh, there she goes.
39:38We see it a lot.
39:39Good people on this show go home.
39:42Over to the danger zone there, Wanwoo.
39:44Crossing our fingers for you.
39:46Oh, damn.
39:47All right, lucky last.
39:48Come on over, Harlan and Charlie.
39:51One of you will make it safely
39:55into the top eight
39:56while the other will be singing
39:58for your life alongside
39:59Wanwoo.
40:01Harlan, you took on
40:02the mighty John Farnham last night.
40:06Yes.
40:07A risky move
40:08that may or may not have paid off.
40:11You know how protective
40:12Aussies are of Farnsey,
40:14don't you?
40:15Yes.
40:15Yes.
40:16All right.
40:17Charlie, you were a little bit
40:19under the weather last night
40:20but you still powered
40:21through your performance.
40:23Let's hope your cold
40:24didn't impact your chances there.
40:27Hopefully not.
40:27All right.
40:28The next name
40:29I read out
40:31is safe
40:31and through
40:32to the top
40:33eight.
40:35And that person
40:38is...
40:50Harlan!
40:52Thank you, guys.
40:55Well done, Harlan.
40:57You, my friend,
40:58are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived another week.
41:01Go and celebrate
41:02with the others.
41:03Yes.
41:06So, unfortunately, Charlie,
41:08you have been voted
41:08into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make of that?
41:11You know, it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold
41:14and I felt disappointed
41:15that I couldn't give it
41:16everything I had
41:16the other night
41:17and sometimes
41:17that's the way that it is.
41:19But you did.
41:20You gave it everything
41:20you possibly could.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah.
41:23Wan-woo,
41:24come over here
41:25and join us.
41:26Wan-woo and Charlie,
41:28you both need
41:29to sing for us again,
41:31which I'm personally
41:31excited about.
41:33For one of you, though,
41:34it will be the last time
41:35on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage,
41:37both of you,
41:38and get ready
41:39to perform
41:41tense times
41:42for Wan-woo
41:42and Charlie,
41:44both receiving
41:45the least amount
41:46of votes
41:47from last night's
41:49shot.
41:50Amy,
41:51I can see
41:51that you're a little
41:52shocked with that result there.
41:53Well, it's funny, Scotty,
41:55because then I look over
41:56and I'm like,
41:57who would I have
41:58expected to go?
41:59I don't know
41:59who I would have
42:01ever expected to go.
42:02You know,
42:02it's just a really
42:03crappy part
42:04of the competition.
42:05I wish we didn't
42:06have to go through.
42:06I also didn't mean
42:07to wear the horrible
42:08red colour
42:09of the verdict.
42:10Every time it goes red,
42:11I feel like I'm
42:11triggering everyone.
42:13Sorry.
42:14I mean,
42:14it is the reality
42:15of this part
42:16of the competition.
42:17Everyone is
42:17so amazingly talented,
42:19so we are going
42:19to be losing
42:20really talented people
42:21every night.
42:22Kyle,
42:23no doubt
42:23there have been
42:24some times
42:24in your career
42:25where you've had
42:26some high-pressure
42:27moments like this.
42:28How do you stay focused
42:29when it matters most?
42:31What a week
42:32to bring that up.
42:33I can't think of anything.
42:36Ricky just went
42:37off script then.
42:38She just wanted to talk.
42:39I've had a few moments.
42:41High stakes.
42:42It is high stakes.
42:43High pressure.
42:44You know what?
42:44Last night
42:45was the toughest one.
42:46We couldn't figure out.
42:48I think Sunday nights
42:49we all figured out
42:50who was going to be
42:51in the bottom two,
42:51but last night
42:52that was anyone's race.
42:53Yes, it was.
42:54You know, but Ricky,
42:55you've been here.
42:56You know what this is like
42:57more than anybody,
42:58you know,
42:59and so it's not easy,
43:01but you just got
43:01to keep going, girlfriend.
43:02You sure do.
43:03That's the name of the game.
43:04That's true.
43:05OK, well,
43:06their future
43:06is far from certain.
43:08Both will perform again
43:09to show that they have
43:10what it takes
43:10to remain in the competition.
43:12One will go through
43:13to the top eight
43:14and the other one
43:15will leave for good.
43:16First up to sing
43:17is our soul man
43:19from Perth,
43:20Charlie.
43:21Our beanie boy
43:22has wowed the judges
43:24with every soulful song
43:26he has performed
43:27on this stage.
43:28With another soulful spin
43:30on Dancing on My Own,
43:32make some noise
43:33for Charlie.
43:54Somebody said
43:56you got a new friend
44:03Does he love you?
44:05You better than I can.
44:11Yeah, I know
44:13it's stupid,
44:15but I just gotta see it
44:18for myself.
44:20I'm in the corner
44:21watching you kiss her.
44:24Oh, no, no.
44:27And I've given him up
44:30I'm not the guy
44:32you're taking home
44:34Oh, ho, ho, ho
44:37I keep dancing
44:38on my own
44:40Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
44:45But you don't see me
44:47He's standing here.
45:03I'm Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.
45:05You're a great guy.
45:07Always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You still got a little bit of it today?
45:11Just a smidge, but we're pretty much topside.
45:13We're feeling a lot better.
45:14A lot better.
45:15Hey, sorry you're in the bottom two, but great job tonight.
45:19If you get through, more of that, more of the same, more of that, Charlie, we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:29Charlie, your consistency is one of the best things.
45:32And, you know, as Amy and I are so aware, and I think I would be, when you're not 100%,
45:38it's so hard to give a performance.
45:40But you know what?
45:40The audience don't know that.
45:42So you've just got to step up and do what you've got to do.
45:45Okay, and that's what you did well, Charlie.
45:47Really well.
45:48You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marsha.
45:51Um, Charlie, you're just like one of these artists that is, you're just so real.
45:58I said this to Trey the other night.
45:59You've got, I can just feel it in your conviction.
46:03Like, you've got stories to tell.
46:04You've, you've seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, and I can see the love
46:09and happiness, but also the pain you've been through and everything.
46:13And I just, no matter what happens, I really hope you get in the studio and tell all these
46:18stories because I'm excited for your career.
46:21Oh, thank you, thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie, how you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good, you know.
46:31I'm kind of glad I got a chance to sing again and be like, hey, look, this is what I
46:35can
46:35do when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah, we love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie, if you want to head over there right now, we're moments away from finding
46:43out Charlie's fate, but before that, we've got to hear from Wan-Wu on the other side of
46:48the break, then we'll find out who is leaving Idle for good, Charlie or Wan-Wu.
46:54Stay with us, Idle.
46:55We'll be back right after this.
47:06You're watching Idle, and we are live.
47:08Before the break, we found out Wan-Wu and Charlie received the fewest votes from last night's
47:13show.
47:13In a last bid sing-off to show that they should stay in the competition, Charlie just gave
47:18us a performance from Dancing on My Own by Callum Scott.
47:22Yes, and now it's Wan-Wu's moment.
47:25Wan-Wu is our all-singing, all-rapping star performer.
47:30We have been amazed by her performances week after week, with Mum Yasser always cheering
47:37her on from the crowd to show she is worthy of continuing her Idle journey, singing Christ
47:43Tag by Jessie J.
47:44This is Wan-Wu.
48:13It seems like everybody's got a crowd.
48:16And I wonder how to sleep at night.
48:19When Brazil comes first and the truth comes second, just stop for a minute and smile.
48:24Why is everybody so serious?
48:27You're acting so damn mysterious.
48:30You got your hands on top and your heels so high that you can't even have a good time.
48:36Everybody look to the rock.
48:39Everybody look to the rock.
48:41Can you feel that?
48:43Yeah.
48:43You're playing with love tonight.
48:45And it's not about the money, money, money.
48:47We don't need your money, money, money.
48:50We just want to make the world dance, forget about the price, yeah.
48:56We don't want your arms to change, we don't need your care.
49:01We're playing with pain.
49:02We want to make the world dance, forget about the price, yeah.
49:24Thank you, everyone.
49:26One-Wu.
49:28Just up there doing what you were born to do.
49:33Um...
49:34I mean, I...
49:35We say it each week just how effortless you make it look.
49:39But I think, you know, what I've really learnt about you and loved about you is just your empathy
49:45and just you're such a kind-hearted person.
49:48You were doing the challenges, you were so good with Jacinta, I remember that.
49:52And the other night, you shouted out Sophie.
49:54And I just think that that's just such a, um...
49:57It's such an important thing as an artist to never lose that.
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package.
50:03So, um, good luck tonight, another amazing performance.
