00:00:01It's our epic transformation week on Idol and tonight our singers have their eyes on the prize.
00:00:07A place in the top 12.
00:00:09The stakes have never been higher.
00:00:13Brace yourself for mega makeovers and powerful performances.
00:00:17This is...
00:00:19Australian Idol!
00:00:37Hello Australia, I'm Ricky Lee.
00:00:40And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:41It's the second night of Transformation Week and we've already elevated Kesha, Lily Grace, Charlie and Samella into the top
00:00:5012.
00:00:50And four more coveted spots are still up for grabs.
00:00:54Tonight more singers will step onto this stage with a new song, a new look, a new confidence to prove
00:01:01they should sing again at next week's live shows where you begin voting for your Australian Idol.
00:01:08And deciding who gets there are our top tier trio.
00:01:11Give it up for your Australian Idol judges!
00:01:22Daredevil and Scotland!
00:01:24Kyle Sanderlands!
00:01:25Masha Hynnes.
00:01:27Amy Shark!
00:01:33Louder than last night.
00:01:36Crazy crowds tonight.
00:01:40Oh, judges!
00:01:52All right, our singers have been preparing a playlist of hits from legends like Fleetwood
00:02:02Mac, The Killers, Ed Sheeran and many more.
00:02:05And after all of tonight's performances, the judges will decide who deserves a spot in
00:02:10the top 12 live shows.
00:02:12And of course, we can't forget about the Fast Pass Scotty.
00:02:17Oh, that is right.
00:02:18If a judge believes a singer truly belongs in the top 12, they can use their Fast Pass
00:02:22to send them straight there, despite what the other judges may think.
00:02:26Last night, Marsha used her one and only Fast Pass for Charlie and the crowd went wild.
00:02:33Take a look at this.
00:02:36Charlie, I'm going to give you my Fast Pass.
00:02:49Yes!
00:02:50Yes!
00:02:51Yeah!
00:02:52Yeah!
00:02:53Yeah!
00:02:54What?
00:02:54Yes!
00:02:57What a moment!
00:03:01Congratulations, Charlie.
00:03:03Now, Kyle and Amy still have their Fast Pass to use on any singer at any time over the next
00:03:09two nights.
00:03:09Amy, you still have your Fast Pass.
00:03:12How will you know when it's the right time to use it?
00:03:15I was close last night.
00:03:16Were you?
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:17I actually forgot I had it for a second, but no, I feel like I don't want to overthink
00:03:22it.
00:03:22I think it's just going to happen.
00:03:23As soon as I see it, I'm going to know.
00:03:26You're going to feel it.
00:03:27I'm going to feel it.
00:03:28Kyle, the judges are in charge of determining the top 12 and then it's over to Australia
00:03:32to vote.
00:03:33How essential is it to ensure that the right people go through to the top 12?
00:03:37I'm pretty confident in the Australian public.
00:03:39For the last couple of years, they always seem to have got it right.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:42Remember the early years?
00:03:43I think we've got to change the format.
00:03:45These are the public.
00:03:46But we couldn't.
00:03:48But you've got to remember, you want these people to be able to go forward, have a career.
00:03:51They've got to be marketable.
00:03:53They've got to really be into this.
00:03:54This isn't a one year and over thing.
00:03:57They want to make this their living.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00They've got to work hard.
00:04:01Okay, everybody.
00:04:02Are you ready to get into it?
00:04:03Are we good to go?
00:04:06Yes, we are.
00:04:07All right.
00:04:07Well, first up, it's our 19-year-old bartender who is shaking things up for her performance
00:04:13this week.
00:04:14All the way from Fremantle in WA, it's Harriet.
00:04:22Harriet, our bartender from WA.
00:04:26That was amazing.
00:04:31Being in the top 21 is a lot of pressure.
00:04:33But if my younger self could see me right now, I know that she would be very proud.
00:04:42As a kid, I had a very creative mind.
00:04:45I loved dressing up with my sister.
00:04:47It was really good.
00:04:49I like to dress up in a very different way now.
00:04:52I'm not completely opposed to dressing up more, but ball gowns are quite a step for me.
00:04:58Quite a step.
00:04:59Yeah.
00:04:59I'm really excited for Transformation Week and having the help to define my image.
00:05:04If I can manage to get like the 70s boho vibe mixed in with the pop girlies.
00:05:09So we're going to create Harriet's brand.
00:05:11That's the goal.
00:05:12One thing I say is if you look good, you then feel good and you perform.
00:05:16Yeah.
00:05:16I think I'm just really excited to walk out on that stage and look like everything little
00:05:21me ever dreamed of being.
00:05:23And she'd think I'm really cool.
00:05:25Hey Harriet.
00:05:26How are you?
00:05:27How are you going?
00:05:28Good, thanks.
00:05:29How are you?
00:05:30Great.
00:05:30Welcome to Top 21.
00:05:32For Top 21 I'm singing I'm With You by Avril Lavigne, which is really going to be taking
00:05:37it up a notch.
00:05:38That's a big sing.
00:05:39It is a big sing.
00:05:40I'm with you.
00:05:41It's kind of soaring vocals there.
00:05:44Might not be able to hit those top notes.
00:05:45The top notes are worrying me a little bit.
00:05:47I do an octave, so it's higher than the original.
00:05:52I'm with you.
00:05:56I probably never pushed myself this hard.
00:06:00How's it feeling?
00:06:01Can't hit it.
00:06:01Yeah, yeah.
00:06:02Is that because you're not hearing the pitch?
00:06:04It's not because I'm not hearing it.
00:06:06It's just...
00:06:07Each time it's been slightly pitchy, so I want you to come in with complete confidence.
00:06:13I get it's a big sing, but yeah.
00:06:15Just have that in the back of your mind.
00:06:17Okay.
00:06:17This is something that I've wanted since, you know, I was very little.
00:06:21So I just really want to make sure that this next performance is better than anything I've
00:06:25done before.
00:06:25So I want to make it into the top 12.
00:06:30She's used to serving drinks from behind the bar, but tonight she's serving a whole new
00:06:35look for a shot at the top 12.
00:06:38The crowd are loving it.
00:06:40From Fremantle in WA, this is Harriet.
00:06:50I'm standing on the bridge.
00:06:52I'm waiting in the dark.
00:06:55Thought that you'd be here by now.
00:06:58There's nothing but the rain.
00:07:01No footsteps on the ground.
00:07:04I'm listening, but there's no sound.
00:07:10Isn't anyone trying to find me?
00:07:14Won't somebody come take me home?
00:07:20It's a damn cold night.
00:07:24Trying to figure out this life.
00:07:29Won't you take me by the hand?
00:07:32Take me somewhere new.
00:07:34I don't know who you are, but I'm with you.
00:07:43I'm with you.
00:07:49Why is everything so confusing?
00:07:54Maybe I'm just out of my mind.
00:07:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:01Yeah
00:08:07It's a damn cold night
00:08:10Trying to figure out this life
00:08:15Won't you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
00:08:20I don't know who you are but I
00:08:25I'm with you
00:08:29I'm with you
00:08:34I don't know who you are but I
00:08:40I'm with you
00:09:05That's a big song Harriet
00:09:07Certainly is yeah
00:09:08Yeah you know and you voiced how big it was when you did the rehearsals and the patience and the
00:09:18stillness that you can find in rehearsals is a totally different thing than having to come out here, wait for
00:09:24the lights to go right, hear the band and then go for it. You know that was very very difficult
00:09:30and I'm quite aware. How did you feel?
00:09:33I felt good. I honestly think that that time standing there helped me. I just stood there and focused as
00:09:40much as I could and my main thing today was to enjoy it because I so enjoyed my last performance
00:09:45that I did here.
00:09:48And the privilege of being on this stage. I just wanted to be able to enjoy doing that again.
00:09:52Can I just ask, did you really enjoy yourself then? Because I think you are flawless with your singing. Like
00:10:00your singing ability is second to none. But I felt like you were really concentrating on not being nervous. Were
00:10:09you nervous?
00:10:10I was a little bit nervous but I was enjoying myself. I was having a great time.
00:10:15And you know what it was when you were just saying I really wanted to enjoy it. The last time
00:10:18we saw you, you really were enjoying it. So you look incredible. You look so good up there Harriet.
00:10:24Yes.
00:10:24Yes.
00:10:24But don't be scared to like do what's comfortable for you.
00:10:29Okay.
00:10:29Just stand there and let that let that voice soar baby because that that's one hell of a voice.
00:10:34It's a big voice you know and there's nothing wrong with a performer who's still.
00:10:39There's nothing wrong with it. Okay.
00:10:41Yeah.
00:10:41And I think you did a great job but like I said girlfriend that's a big thing. Okay.
00:10:46You're welcome.
00:10:51Harriet.
00:10:55You've always been a beautiful girl but what a transformation guys.
00:10:58You went from beautiful Perth girls to ready for the stage superstar.
00:11:03I thought it was great.
00:11:05And we enjoyed it.
00:11:06Even if you were uncomfortable we loved it.
00:11:09Did we not love it?
00:11:09I thought it was amazing.
00:11:11Well done.
00:11:14Harriet.
00:11:15Stunning.
00:11:16First performer of the night.
00:11:18Some mixed comments from the judges there but all pretty positive.
00:11:21How did you feel?
00:11:22I felt great.
00:11:22I just.
00:11:24Just feel so honored to even be where I'm at now.
00:11:27So.
00:11:27Yeah.
00:11:29You did an amazing job.
00:11:30Okay.
00:11:31Don't be down on yourself.
00:11:32You did an incredible job.
00:11:33Beautiful job.
00:11:34What would it mean to you to make it into the top 12?
00:11:37It would mean everything to me.
00:11:39Like I.
00:11:40The fact that I'm even in the top 21 is beyond what I'd ever imagined.
00:11:45And being in the top 12 would just be.
00:11:49Kind of fuel to the fire that this is what I want to do with my life.
00:11:52I do know that this is what I want to do every time I'm here.
00:11:56I enjoy it so much.
00:11:57And I want to come back.
00:11:58So.
00:11:59It would mean a lot.
00:12:00Alright.
00:12:00Well.
00:12:01Look.
00:12:02Is the bartender from Frio on her way to the live shows you guys?
00:12:08We are going to find out when the judges decide after everyone performs.
00:12:12But for right now everybody in the house please give it up for the beautiful Harriet.
00:12:20Okay.
00:12:21With one performance down we are off and racing.
00:12:24Up next is a teenage rapper from Brisbane.
00:12:27Tonight he's transforming his mental game and firing up his focus to get into the top
00:12:3312.
00:12:33This is Asha.
00:12:41You stepped up.
00:12:42I'm so impressed with you.
00:12:44This week I'm transforming my mindset.
00:12:46So that means three things.
00:12:47Getting rid of my nerves.
00:12:48Getting rid of my stage fright.
00:12:50And remembering my lyrics.
00:12:52And I have chosen a song that I really know.
00:12:54I know this song inside out.
00:12:56I've been practicing it every day.
00:12:58So I'm not forgetting my lyrics.
00:12:59That is gone.
00:13:02Come on.
00:13:03The next thing I've got to work on is no more stage fright.
00:13:10That was horrible.
00:13:12Surely I can make one in.
00:13:14Backstage before I perform I always get ramped up.
00:13:16My heart starts racing.
00:13:17I start sweating.
00:13:18So no more nerves.
00:13:21Goodbye.
00:13:23This is harder than it looks.
00:13:25All the mistakes.
00:13:26All the mistakes that I made in the past.
00:13:27And the other challenges.
00:13:28I'm not even going to think about them anymore.
00:13:29I want to do this.
00:13:31Yes.
00:13:32I made one.
00:13:33I made one.
00:13:34I made one.
00:13:36Hey.
00:13:37Hey.
00:13:38How are you?
00:13:38How are you?
00:13:38How are you going?
00:13:39I'm good.
00:13:40How are you doing?
00:13:41Great.
00:13:42Good to see you.
00:13:43Good to see you too.
00:13:43Welcome to the stage.
00:13:45This looks amazing.
00:13:46No negative thoughts here.
00:13:48No negative thoughts.
00:13:49Here we are at top 21.
00:13:50Tell me what your song is.
00:13:51Oh look.
00:13:52My song is Can't Hold Us by Macklemore.
00:13:54Cause the city can't hold us.
00:13:56Yeah.
00:13:57I'm really happy with this song.
00:13:58Yo.
00:13:59Like the ceiling can.
00:14:02Now.
00:14:03Oh shit.
00:14:06What's happening for you?
00:14:07What do you need?
00:14:08I felt like I was a bit out of time.
00:14:10Timing with rap is probably the most important thing.
00:14:13If you're not on time that causes you to forget your lyrics and then the whole song falls apart.
00:14:19It's a bit overwhelming sometimes.
00:14:22Forgetting lyrics, nerves, stage fright.
00:14:25I'm trying to take away all those negative thoughts and chuck them in the bin.
00:14:29Alright.
00:14:29I'll try and remember it.
00:14:31It makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.
00:14:34That if I mess up again, I could be going home.
00:14:41Our 17 year old rapper is used to dropping beats.
00:14:44But tonight he's making our jaws drop.
00:14:47With the transformation turning up the volume on everything he brings to the stage.
00:14:52Put your hands up for Asha.
00:15:02Yeah.
00:15:04Alright.
00:15:04Let's go.
00:15:05Let's go.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:08Return of the Mac.
00:15:09Get it what it is.
00:15:09What it does.
00:15:10What it is.
00:15:10What it is.
00:15:13What it is.
00:15:18What it is.
00:15:27What it is.
00:15:32What it is.
00:15:43What it is.
00:15:49What it is.
00:15:52What it is.
00:15:54What it is.
00:16:12What it is.
00:16:16What it is.
00:16:17And sing this with me now
00:16:18Y'all sing this with me now

00:16:30And we'll fight till it's over
00:16:32So we put our hands up
00:16:33Like the ceiling can
00:16:36Like the ceiling can
00:16:38Can we go back
00:16:40This is the moment
00:16:41Tonight is the night
00:16:43And we'll fight till it's over, so we put our hands up
00:16:46Like the ceiling can't hold us, hold us
00:16:49Like the ceiling can't hold us
00:17:08Asha, that was sick
00:17:11Thank you
00:17:12You look so, you look great
00:17:16And that was just so much fun
00:17:20And you know why?
00:17:21Because I didn't see you thinking it
00:17:24You were just having fun
00:17:25It was like, we're at the Asha show
00:17:26The nerves stopped, I didn't feel nervous for you
00:17:29I was like, this is just fun up in here
00:17:32Well done
00:17:32Thank you very much
00:17:40You did what you need to do
00:17:42As a performer
00:17:42And it's so good to see you so solid Asha
00:17:45You know, because I mean like
00:17:46I wouldn't want to play basketball with you
00:17:48Because you missed all those
00:17:50But you know, but otherwise
00:17:52I just think you did a great job
00:17:54I'm so proud of you man
00:17:55Thank you very much
00:17:56Thank you very much, Masha

00:18:04No mistakes
00:18:06No question
00:18:08That was quite the show
00:18:10Imagine how good it would be if you could hold a tune with the singing part
00:18:13That would have been great
00:18:14The rapping, amazing
00:18:15But people watching at home in the auditorium here in the Coliseum
00:18:19When you throw the mic forward and everyone yells
00:18:22At home, they can't hear that
00:18:24So you just look like
00:18:25Just bear in mind where your audience is
00:18:28Yeah
00:18:28They're not just here
00:18:29They're a lot of them watching through the TV
00:18:32But that was your best performance yet

00:20:21Welcome back to transformation week on Idol
00:20:25Tonight the judges will watch everyone's performances
00:20:28And then decide which four singers will secure a spot into the top 12
00:20:33Next up is our singing forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria
00:20:37It's Jacinta
00:20:44Jacinta, our forklift driver
00:20:46I think you're excellent
00:20:48Hi Jacinta
00:20:50Hello
00:20:50I didn't think that a forklift driver like myself
00:20:54Could be on Australian Idol
00:20:56Being accepted by something as big as Idol
00:20:59I think is a really important milestone for people like me
00:21:02Who don't really get into what people think a singer should be
00:21:06How was that?
00:21:08I just had to get used to the moving
00:21:09But it felt a little bit strange
00:21:11I think I am yet hesitant to really open up
00:21:14And really let myself just be
00:21:15It is scary
00:21:16It's scary
00:21:17I just don't want you to hold back
00:21:19Don't go
00:21:20Oh no it's too much
00:21:21Don't hesitate
00:21:23Jacinta's gone now
00:21:24We just need to let her go
00:21:25I'm going to have to really learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable
00:21:28In order to really connect with the 1500 people
00:21:31But that's the way I grew
00:21:33Confidence
00:21:34Yes confidence
00:21:34Don't hold the shoulders back
00:21:36Face
00:21:36I have spent a lot of time hiding in the shadows
00:21:39Really just trying to get myself out there
00:21:41But I'm ready to step forward and take my spot
00:21:44How open are you to zhuzhing?
00:21:48Oh yeah I'm open
00:21:50Yeah I'm open to zhuzhing
00:21:51Okay great
00:21:52Oh yeah Kyle asked me to zhuzh
00:21:54So it is transformation week
00:21:56And it is definitely the moment to zhuzh
00:21:58Hi
00:21:58Hello
00:21:59How are you?
00:22:00Good how are you?
00:22:01Come over here and have a little look
00:22:03Yes
00:22:03A lot of the pieces on the rack
00:22:05Are very out of my comfort zone
00:22:07This one here
00:22:09What about this?
00:22:11At all?
00:22:12Or are you getting scared?
00:22:13Yeah a little bit
00:22:14Yeah because I'm like oh my gosh I have to show my legs
00:22:17I'm used to wearing you know baggy clothes
00:22:19Because I've always struggled with the way I look
00:22:22So I'm a bit nervous
00:22:23Sequence
00:22:24Um
00:22:24It's definitely scary
00:22:25Stepping into that confident artist persona
00:22:28What about this?
00:22:30Very different for me
00:22:31Very different for you
00:22:31Very different from what I'm used to
00:22:33Yeah
00:22:33I feel like I have walls up
00:22:34So I'm a bit worried
00:22:36Because I'm transforming
00:22:38I think it will definitely
00:22:40Be the biggest change in my life
00:22:42Yeah
00:22:44Do you want to try this one on?
00:22:48Oh my days
00:22:49I feel so out of my comfort zone right now
00:22:54Oh my god
00:22:59By day
00:23:00Forklift driver
00:23:01By night
00:23:03Absolute showstopper
00:23:04She moves pallets at work
00:23:06But tonight
00:23:07She's hoping to move the craft
00:23:08With her incredible transformation
00:23:11This is Jacinta
00:23:24Can you hear me calling?
00:23:27I want your name
00:23:29You know they're not falling
00:23:31And I don't know what to say
00:23:34I'll speak a little louder
00:23:35I'll even shout
00:23:37You know that I'm crying
00:23:40And I can't get the words loud
00:23:42And I
00:23:45I
00:23:46Wanna be with you everywhere
00:23:51And I
00:23:55Wanna be with you everywhere
00:23:57Everywhere
00:23:57Somewhere
00:23:59Something's happening
00:24:01Everything I can't believe
00:24:03My friends say
00:24:05I'm acting peculiarly
00:24:08So come on baby
00:24:09I'd better make it start
00:24:12I'd better make it soon
00:24:14Before you break my heart
00:24:16And I
00:24:19I
00:24:20Wanna be with you everywhere
00:24:23Everywhere
00:24:24And I
00:24:26And I
00:24:26I wanna be with you everywhere
00:24:27Everywhere
00:24:27I wanna be with you everywhere
00:24:31Oh, everywhere
00:24:34And I
00:24:42Can you hear me calling out your name?
00:24:46You know that I'm falling and I don't know what to say
00:24:51I speak a little louder, I'll even shout
00:24:55You know that I'm proud and I can't get the words out
00:24:59And I
00:25:03I wanna be with you
00:25:26Yeah
00:25:29Hard to believe we're looking at the same human being in all honesty
00:25:35Hearing you there saying that you're always in the shadows
00:25:37Let the sun shine in girl
00:25:40That's fantastic
00:25:42You did an amazing, I love the arrangement
00:25:44I love the outfit
00:25:46It's quite saucy even though you've got your arms and legs still covered
00:25:49I know
00:25:50So it's still you
00:25:51And when they're calling out your name, Jacinta
00:25:53They're gonna sing it forever
00:25:55That was brilliant, I loved it
00:25:57Thank you
00:25:57Thank you so much
00:25:59Welcome to show business
00:26:01I, you know, Jacinta, you sure you ain't got a twin?
00:26:04Because I don't think that's you
00:26:05I mean, like, what the, hey, you look wonderful
00:26:09Thank you so much
00:26:11You're more than welcome
00:26:12And you know, look
00:26:13Girlfriend, there's a little sexy happening here
00:26:16You look beautiful
00:26:17And you sung so well
00:26:18I'm so happy for you
00:26:20And the shadows, forget the shadows
00:26:21Welcome to the light, honey
00:26:22Thank you, Martha
00:26:23Thank you
00:26:26I like that
00:26:29I didn't, I, even when you were walking out
00:26:32I was like, is it her?
00:26:34Are we sure we got the right person?
00:26:36Like, you just look phenomenal
00:26:38And you look really comfortable too
00:26:40It's amazing what a brush and a bit of makeup does
00:26:42Yeah, I know, right?
00:26:43It's unbelievable
00:26:44It's like, you're unstoppable now, babe
00:26:47Let's go
00:26:47Thank you so much, Amy
00:26:49Thank you
00:26:50Well done
00:26:53Jacinta, Jacinta, Jacinta
00:26:55Look at you, you're a smoke show
00:26:56This is, you look amazing
00:26:58Thank you, Ricky
00:26:59How are you feeling after that performance?
00:27:00I'm buzzing
00:27:02It's, it's so cool to come out
00:27:03And see all these faces here
00:27:05And just, you know
00:27:06Have my moment
00:27:07Because I love being here
00:27:08You know, music is my, my space
00:27:10And my heart
00:27:11And, yeah, it's just
00:27:12It's such a surreal experience, honestly
00:27:14It was amazing
00:27:15You have everyone up on their feet
00:27:17At the end of that performance
00:27:18I mean, you look absolutely incredible
00:27:20And I do reckon you'd be able to bust that out
00:27:23While driving the forklift
00:27:24Like, backing it in somewhere
00:27:26Yeah
00:27:27Yeah
00:27:27Your mum and twin sister, Marsha
00:27:30What? I knew it
00:27:31Are in the audience tonight
00:27:33What did you think of this amazing transformation?
00:27:38I'm just blown away
00:27:39I just cried
00:27:40I can't believe how gorgeous you look, Jacinta
00:27:43And it just compliments your beautiful voice
00:27:45And that performance was next level
00:27:47So proud
00:27:49Thanks
00:27:52All right, everybody
00:27:53One more time
00:27:54Make some noise
00:27:55For Jacinta
00:28:00Wow
00:28:01Well, up next on this very stage
00:28:04He's the singing barber
00:28:06From Ballarat
00:28:07After the break
00:28:08Harry is styling up
00:28:09And sounding out
00:28:10A spot in the top 12
00:28:12Will he get there
00:28:14Only the judges will decide
00:28:26This is Idol Transformation Week
00:28:28And our singers are getting
00:28:30The complete makeover
00:28:31As they fight for a spot
00:28:33In the top 12
00:28:34We're talking brave choices
00:28:36On sound, style, fashion
00:28:38Hairdo's
00:28:40My personal favourite
00:28:40Yes, we have both had
00:28:42Some unique
00:28:44Shall I say
00:28:45Hair styles
00:28:46Over the years
00:28:47I would say
00:28:48This is
00:28:48One of my best
00:28:50Oh my lord
00:28:53Kath and Kim
00:28:54That, right
00:28:56That was supposed to look like
00:28:57Diana Ross hair
00:28:59And they stitched me up
00:29:00Big time
00:29:01That is beautiful
00:29:03Scotty, your mum
00:29:05Sent something to me
00:29:06She slid into my DMs
00:29:08Your mum
00:29:09She sent me this one
00:29:10Oh my god
00:29:13Who's that?
00:29:14What were you thinking
00:29:14Scotty T?
00:29:15The girls were trying
00:29:17To get the girls
00:29:17At the time
00:29:18Did they?
00:29:19No, it didn't work
00:29:20Oh, Scott
00:29:20Yeah, it's pretty retro
00:29:24Isn't it?
00:29:24It looks like
00:29:25It's from like 1952
00:29:27How old are you?
00:29:29Never be revealed
00:29:30Transformation week
00:29:31Can't tell you that
00:29:33Well, speaking of hair
00:29:35Our next singer
00:29:36Is our barber
00:29:37From Ballarat
00:29:38He's normally
00:29:38Styling up others
00:29:40But for Transformation week
00:29:41Let's see how he feels
00:29:43When the shoe
00:29:43Is on the other foot
00:29:45Here's Harry
00:29:52Your voice is stunning
00:29:53You're great
00:29:54I can be
00:29:56So Harry
00:29:57Let's talk all about
00:29:58Your hair
00:29:59It's funny for me
00:30:00To talk about hair
00:30:01Actually
00:30:01Because I'm a barber
00:30:02By myself
00:30:03Yeah, I feel like
00:30:04I've had
00:30:04So many different
00:30:06Hairstyles over the years
00:30:07They've been pretty
00:30:08Experimental
00:30:10Transformation week
00:30:11Is all about
00:30:11Leveling up
00:30:12And sort of
00:30:12Bringing the image
00:30:13To kind of match
00:30:14The internal part
00:30:15Of our performance
00:30:16What are you singing
00:30:17This week?
00:30:18I'm doing
00:30:18Somebody told me
00:30:19About the killers
00:30:20Going a bit more
00:30:21Yeah
00:30:22Down that rockstar
00:30:23Kind of lame
00:30:23Hair thrashing
00:30:24A bit of hair thrashing
00:30:25On stage
00:30:27Go on, show us
00:30:28I'm breaking my back
00:30:29Just to know your name
00:30:34It's one thing
00:30:34To look like a rockstar
00:30:35But if you're not
00:30:36Really feeling like one
00:30:37You're never going to
00:30:38Sort of connect
00:30:39With the audience
00:30:44You look like
00:30:45The most unsure rockstar
00:30:46I know
00:30:47That's what I felt
00:30:48Really?
00:30:49Okay
00:30:49We'll do a little exercise
00:30:51Right now
00:30:51Look me in the eyes
00:30:58Just like this
00:31:01Great
00:31:02The first thing you do
00:31:03Is like
00:31:06I've always found
00:31:07It a little bit hard
00:31:07To sort of resonate
00:31:08With the crowd
00:31:09The judges have been
00:31:10Very critical
00:31:11Of my stage performance
00:31:12We didn't see you
00:31:13You know
00:31:14You were sort of
00:31:14Into the neck
00:31:15Of the guitar
00:31:16We need to see
00:31:17Who you are
00:31:19You've just got to
00:31:20Connect
00:31:21Find somebody
00:31:22To look at
00:31:23Yep
00:31:23It's so rockstar
00:31:24To me
00:31:25I think the physical
00:31:26Transformation
00:31:27Will definitely help me
00:31:28Feel a little bit more
00:31:29Of the part
00:31:29I know I can do it
00:31:31I've watched people
00:31:31Do it my whole life
00:31:32Embody the transformation
00:31:34You've got to feel it
00:31:35In your bones
00:31:36If I can't channel
00:31:37If I can't channel
00:31:37If I can't channel the look
00:31:37To match the sound
00:31:39It's the end of the road
00:31:44He's the ballarat barber
00:31:46That's dropped his scissors
00:31:48To start cutting up the stage
00:31:51With a rockstar song
00:31:53And a rockstar swagger
00:31:55And a rockstar
00:32:23It's Harry
00:32:25close in a place like this anything goes but don't blink you mad me
00:32:34there's nothing close in a place like this i said everything close in a place like this
00:32:41bring it back down bring it back down tonight
00:32:53somebody told me
00:32:55you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that i had in february
00:33:01last year it's not confidential i've got potential i'm rushing around
00:33:07taste yourself for me
00:33:13well i said maybe baby
00:33:19i just don't know now
00:33:27that all i wanna do is try
00:33:32somebody told me
00:33:34you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that i had in february of last year
00:33:41it's not confidential i've got potential i'm rushing around
00:33:45somebody told me
00:33:47you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend that i had in february of last year
00:33:54it's not confidential i've got potential i'm rushing i'm rushing around
00:34:16Harry, wow, I went on a real journey then
00:34:19Because when I saw you were going to do this
00:34:21And you were going for the rock star vibe
00:34:23I got, I just, I don't know
00:34:24I got nervous because you know how we've seen you before
00:34:26And like real folky
00:34:29But when you came out
00:34:30Hearing your voice
00:34:32Man, it's so unique
00:34:34Like if I, any band out there
00:34:37Would just, that
00:34:38To be a front man
00:34:40That was really awesome, okay
00:34:43Thank you so much
00:34:43Like I thought, I actually thought that really suited you
00:34:45Until you started moving
00:34:48And the only reason I say it
00:34:51Is because in my head I'm like
00:34:52Oh, that was his stage directions
00:34:54And I don't want to think that
00:34:55Like sometimes when you move around
00:34:58The goal is to make it look like no one said
00:35:00Go, hit this point
00:35:02Hit this point
00:35:03Look, I don't want to think about that
00:35:05And this is what this show does
00:35:06This is how, this is why this show is great
00:35:08Is because by the time you finish it
00:35:10You, you, you master that
00:35:12And people don't notice that
00:35:14People like us don't notice that
00:35:15Because we're like, wow
00:35:16They're just in the zone
00:35:17They know their marks
00:35:18And it's not obvious
00:35:19Until you did that, right
00:35:21It was so solid, man
00:35:23Awesome
00:35:23Like you really
00:35:24You've got something really cool going on
00:35:27So just
00:35:27I know that's a bit of both
00:35:29Yeah
00:35:29But all in all
00:35:31Really, really great show
00:35:33Thanks so much, Amy
00:35:34Cheers
00:35:40Harry, in many ways
00:35:42I disagree with Amy
00:35:45Because I'm so glad you came out from behind that microphone
00:35:48You know, the guitar's a great thing
00:35:49But so many people hide behind it
00:35:52And I said that to you
00:35:53I want to see you, Harry
00:35:55And you actually stepped out
00:35:57Okay, you've been told what to do and how to do it
00:35:59But welcome to the industry
00:36:01That is the industry that we're in
00:36:03And it's all new to you
00:36:05And your voice is the bomb
00:36:08That's a great rock and roll voice, man
00:36:10Thank you so much
00:36:11Like fantastic
00:36:13It's one of the most interesting and exciting rock and roll voices I've heard for a long time
00:36:19And I really did appreciate and adore you
00:36:22You did great, man
00:36:23Thank you so much
00:36:24You're welcome
00:36:24You're welcome
00:36:25I appreciate it
00:36:28Harry
00:36:29Great haircut
00:36:30Let me just say
00:36:31Far better than the last time we saw you
00:36:33Not that you were ever ugly
00:36:34But that's a good looking boy
00:36:36Good looking boy
00:36:37Yeah
00:36:39Listen
00:36:41I'm with Amy and Marsha
00:36:43So what you did wrong is
00:36:45When Amy said
00:36:45When you moved
00:36:46And it looked like you were following stage direction
00:36:49You were
00:36:49Yeah
00:36:49So all you've got to do is
00:36:51Instead of being a gentle little boy
00:36:53Putting the microphone
00:36:54Flip that stand
00:36:55Oh
00:36:57You know what I mean
00:36:58You don't see Bon Jovi gently placing
00:37:01Like when you move
00:37:02You'd lean into that microphone
00:37:04And when you're down with the audience
00:37:05You feel the music
00:37:07You get down with them
00:37:08Go ahead, Kyle
00:37:08And feel that music
00:37:09Yeah
00:37:09Yeah, get down
00:37:10That's the only difference
00:37:11Because it looked like you were doing a walkthrough rehearsal
00:37:14That's all you need
00:37:15Just going off what Marsha said
00:37:18When you go on
00:37:20There are like award shows
00:37:21That you need to be able to hit those marks
00:37:23But
00:37:24And I'm glad you did it too
00:37:26But all I was saying was just
00:37:28Make it look like we're not
00:37:30Sing
00:37:30Make it look like you wanted to do
00:37:32And keep it sexy, Harry
00:37:33You know
00:37:34I mean
00:37:35Because you're a good looking guy
00:37:36Work that stage, honey
00:37:37Work those women
00:37:38Work that ass
00:37:44It's getting all hot and steamy up here
00:37:46My goodness
00:37:47Harry, how was that for you?
00:37:49It was good
00:37:50I definitely understood what Amy and Kyle were saying about the stage
00:37:53I felt like I was a little bit
00:37:55Sort of unnatural with it
00:37:57So I definitely have to work on that
00:37:58But I really felt happy with how my voice was
00:38:01Yeah, other than that
00:38:02Did it feel good?
00:38:02Yeah, it felt great
00:38:03I really liked this change of style
00:38:05And it's been a lot of fun
00:38:06What did you guys think?
00:38:11So far
00:38:12You've been
00:38:12You know
00:38:13The more slow
00:38:14Indie guitar guy
00:38:15But tonight
00:38:16You transformed into a rock star
00:38:19Do you think we should
00:38:20We'll be seeing
00:38:21Like more of this Harry
00:38:22As you progress further
00:38:23In the competition
00:38:24If you progress further
00:38:25Yeah, absolutely
00:38:26I really loved it
00:38:27I had like a lot of fun
00:38:28Kind of getting out
00:38:29And even though it was a little bit unnatural
00:38:30I had a great time
00:38:31I'm kind of getting in and around everyone
00:38:32And I love that style
00:38:34Alright, well
00:38:34Fingers crossed
00:38:35We get to see rock star Harry hit the stage again
00:38:39If the judges decide to put him through to the top 12
00:38:41Give it up for Harry
00:38:48Alright, well
00:38:49We are over the halfway mark
00:38:51Four singers down
00:38:52Three to go
00:38:53Then we'll find out who's through to next week's live shows
00:38:57Don't forget
00:38:58The judges each have one fast pass
00:39:01To instantly send their favourite into the next round
00:39:04Marsha used hers last night
00:39:06But there's still two more at play
00:39:09Coming up on Transformation Week
00:39:12It's Harlan
00:39:15He's the 18 year old
00:39:17Big ballad singer from Brizzy
00:39:20He has chosen an epic song
00:39:23And I can guarantee
00:39:24You have never heard it sound like this
00:39:27His must-see performance is next on Idol
00:39:41Welcome back to Idol
00:39:42Where it's been a big night
00:39:43But it's about to get a whole lot bigger
00:39:46I'm here with Harlan's family
00:39:48Mum and Dad
00:39:49Mariah and Rowan
00:39:50Mariah, you must be so excited to see
00:39:53And so proud of Harlan
00:39:54Can't wait to see him perform tonight
00:39:56And his transformation
00:39:57It's going to be incredible
00:39:59But I've got to ask Dad
00:40:00He's got such a big voice
00:40:02His stage presence is top-notch
00:40:04Does he get it from you?
00:40:05Definitely not
00:40:07Are you sure?
00:40:08Yep, definitely not
00:40:09Alright, well let's check out
00:40:11How Harlan's went with his preparation
00:40:13For Transformation Week
00:40:19The audience was mesmerized by you
00:40:22It's remarkable what you just did
00:40:24Being in the top 21 of Australian Idol
00:40:26Was amazing
00:40:27My Australian Idol
00:40:29Opens my fruit shop
00:40:30It's not really mine
00:40:31Since my audition
00:40:32I started working
00:40:33At Skippy's Farmhouse
00:40:34A fruit shop in Cleveland
00:40:35What is this called?
00:40:37A juice bar
00:40:40I love the people there
00:40:42I've been really appreciative of
00:40:43Yeah, their help and their support
00:40:45But the dream is to be on stage
00:40:47Not packing fruit
00:40:48That's why I'm here
00:41:02Hey Harlan
00:41:03What are you thinking for this song?
00:41:04Are we going to do the original
00:41:05Get Down and Boogie disco version?
00:41:08Maybe not
00:41:09I'm feeling power ballad
00:41:12Wow, okay
00:41:13Yeah, so transforming the song
00:41:16That's your transformation
00:41:17Yeah
00:41:18Well, it's definitely a risk
00:41:20Because everyone knows it as a disco song
00:41:27I've got a lot of big holding parts
00:41:29And a lot of long phrases
00:41:31In a very high part of my range
00:41:33And it is very, very, very hard to sing
00:41:37I do feel like this is probably the biggest song you've sung
00:41:42Yeah
00:41:42It's not easy
00:41:43At the end, yeah
00:41:44It's a real stretch
00:41:46Yeah
00:41:47Yeah
00:41:48What's the worst that could happen?
00:41:51Um, I was leaving a voice crack
00:41:53Okay, you ready to give it a go?
00:41:54Yes, ma'am
00:41:56And they're the most humiliating thing ever
00:41:59You can blow your voice in a sound check
00:42:01Or a rehearsal
00:42:01And do stuff for the performance
00:42:03So it's that stamina and agility
00:42:05That you need to focus on
00:42:06I don't know
00:42:06I went too hard that one
00:42:08I think you need to
00:42:09Yeah
00:42:10Just pull back when you need to
00:42:12I mean, we are at rehearsals
00:42:13And obviously you want to practice
00:42:15As hard as you can
00:42:16But you just need to
00:42:17Stay in that safe place
00:42:19Yeah, it's a big song
00:42:20It's a big sing
00:42:21I can blow it out
00:42:22And it's very scary
00:42:23Like, especially when you're taking such a big risk
00:42:27But
00:42:28Big risk, big reward, hopefully
00:42:30I really want to make it to top 12
00:42:33This is what I want
00:42:40He's the 18-year-old frizzy boy
00:42:42Who works in the fruit and veg shop by day
00:42:45But tonight
00:42:45He wants to own this stage
00:42:48Singing a Diana Ross classic
00:42:50Like you've never heard it before
00:42:52Give it up for Harlan
00:43:00You took a mystery and you made me want it
00:43:05You got a pistol and put me on it
00:43:09You made me love you out of feeling nothing
00:43:13Something that you knew
00:43:17And there I was not dancing with anyone
00:43:22You took a little then you took me over
00:43:27You set your mouth on stealing my heart awake
00:43:31Crying, trying everything for you
00:43:35I'm in the middle of a train reaction
00:43:39You give me all the after midnight action
00:43:44I want to get you where I can let you make all that love to me
00:43:51Talking about love, love, love
00:43:55Talking about love
00:44:02I'm in the middle of a train reaction
00:44:06And don't pass me by
00:44:10I want to get you where I can let you make all that love
00:44:24I want to get you where I can let you know
00:44:54Oh, my God!
00:45:00Thank you, guys.
00:45:11Yes!
00:45:19Oh, my God.
00:45:24Oh, my...
00:45:33Oh, my goodness.
00:45:36Aren't you something, Andrew?
00:45:40I want you to know that a very close friend of mine
00:45:43is a very, very personal friend of Frida from ABBA,
00:45:49and we sent that audition that you did to them,
00:45:54and they were blown away.
00:45:55You're something, man.
00:45:56You really are something.
00:45:59And I think this is all very new to you,
00:46:02and everybody out here should be scared
00:46:05because we ain't seen nothing yet, okay?
00:46:09That performance was stupid good.
00:46:15Yeah.
00:46:17I am so very proud of you
00:46:21because, to me, that's what youth is, man.
00:46:23Be scared of nothing, honey.
00:46:25Just go for it.
00:46:26Well done.
00:46:26That's all I got to say.
00:46:27Thank you so much.
00:46:31What the hell was that?
00:46:34You are freaking incredible.
00:46:38Like, I have a song that says
00:46:42feeling like blood go through the veins in my throat,
00:46:46but I was just a bit full of shit.
00:46:47I've never actually done it.
00:46:48I just saw it done.
00:46:50Your veins, like, everything was working.
00:46:53Like, every...
00:46:53You just have such control.
00:46:56I've never seen that before.
00:46:57Like, in someone that's just in their early stages
00:47:01of their career.
00:47:02How old are you again?
00:47:0318.
00:47:04Like, get out.
00:47:10That was really good, by the way.
00:47:13It was, wasn't it?
00:47:15Um...
00:47:15Harlan.
00:47:16Wow.
00:47:18That was...
00:47:19Everyone knows that was beautiful.
00:47:21Sam Smith might as well retire.
00:47:23That's like Sam Smith before he got fat and weird.
00:47:27That was beautiful.
00:47:29You're 18 years old.
00:47:30You know exactly what sort of an artist you want to be.
00:47:34Um...
00:47:35I can't fault that in any way, shape, or form.
00:47:37The only thing I think I can do is...
00:47:39Give me an F!
00:47:40Fast!
00:47:41Give me a P!
00:47:42Oh!
00:47:53There you go.
00:47:55Wow.
00:48:00Bravo, my friend.
00:48:02Wow.
00:48:04Like there was any questioning that was going to happen, right?
00:48:07It was the best of the night.
00:48:10It was unbelievable.
00:48:11I mean, wow, Harlan.
00:48:14Wow is all I can say.
00:48:15But you just received Kyle's fast pass.
00:48:18That means, everybody, Harlan is straight through to the top 12.
00:48:24How does it feel to know you are in the top 12 of Australian Idol?
00:48:30A relief.
00:48:31Yeah.
00:48:32Um, yeah.
00:48:34Yeah, I'm so grateful.
00:48:35Thank you, Kyle.
00:48:36You're very welcome and very deserving.
00:48:39Yeah.
00:48:40I mean, with a voice like that, were you ever worried
00:48:42that you were not going to make it to the top 12?
00:48:44Yes!
00:48:45Wow!
00:48:47You are incredible.
00:48:48And, I mean, 18 years old, like the judges said, you are a freak.
00:48:52And we can't wait to see you perform again live next week.
00:48:56Congratulations.
00:48:57Head on over to the lounge.
00:49:01Australia directly into the top 12 with a fast pass.
00:49:05It's Harlan!
00:49:10With limited spots left in the top 12,
00:49:13our next performer knows it's all or nothing.
00:49:17This girl with the curl oozes style and sophistication.
00:49:22Right now, she's backstage preparing for the performance of her life.
00:49:26Our model from Melbourne, Sophie, is up next.
00:49:29Don't go anywhere.
00:49:40Welcome back to Idol where our judges are deciding who should sing again at next week's live shows.
00:49:46Already safely there are these four.
00:49:49Kesha, Lily, Grace, Charlie, and Samela, who made it through last night.
00:49:54Kesha, how are you feeling?
00:49:55Safely into the top 12?
00:49:57Oh, my gosh.
00:49:57I feel a sense of relief.
00:49:59And I'm just so grateful and excited to be on this journey with these amazing contestants.
00:50:04Isn't it cool to watch?
00:50:06And Lily Grace, you've got one of the best seats in the house right up here.
00:50:09Any thoughts on the competition tonight?
00:50:11Scotty, I do have one of the best seats.
00:50:13And I just want to say that everyone has just been, like, ridiculously good.
00:50:17Can we have a round of applause again for how good everyone is tonight?
00:50:20Ultimate hype woman.
00:50:22Well, hoping to join this lot into the top 12 is our next singer.
00:50:26She's our model from Melbourne.
00:50:28It's Sophie.
00:50:36I love your style.
00:50:38I love you.
00:50:40My journey on Idol has not really been an easy one.
00:50:43Yeah, it's been pretty difficult from the start.
00:50:46I didn't expect a young, beautiful, vibrant, structured, model-looking girl to come in and
00:50:52sing old, sad lady songs.
00:50:54That's just not going to cut it.
00:50:56In top 30 weeks, I got put on notice twice.
00:50:59When you are on television, you actually need to lift a little more.
00:51:04You have such an amazing look and a demanding presence.
00:51:08What's going wrong is your conviction.
00:51:11I may seem like a confident person, but that really rocked me.
00:51:15Getting put up twice, yeah, this is definitely kind of like third strike.
00:51:19So I definitely have a little bit to prove.
00:51:23Hi.
00:51:24Oh, hey girl.
00:51:25How are you?
00:51:25Good, how you doing?
00:51:26Good, thanks.
00:51:27So yeah, my song this week is Betty Davis Eyes.
00:51:29Okay.
00:51:30Sung by Kim Karns.
00:51:31I think Betty Davis Eyes has such an attitude to it and a sass that I definitely connect with.
00:51:37And yeah, just drawing inspiration from her.
00:51:39Okay, I'm trying to like draw a conceptual idea of transformation week outfit.
00:51:44What are you thinking?
00:51:45I mean, I'm thinking we have to kind of shift the look a little bit.
00:51:48Because I think this transformation could mean a lot of things.
00:51:51I really want to more take on the inspiration from the title Betty Davis.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:56And kind of who she is.
00:51:57There's definitely qualities of like just having so much power being a woman.
00:52:01And I think that's just really beautiful, I think, to go on stage and kind of step into that kind
00:52:06of character.
00:52:16So we want icon Sophie, we want model Sophie in all of those moments.
00:52:22If you're going to do something, you just got to commit.
00:52:24Yeah.
00:52:25You walk with purpose always.
00:52:28There is of course part of me that's doubting a little bit.
00:52:30Sometimes hearing feedback that I need to be more, more, more.
00:52:34I'm like, okay, okay.
00:52:37Thought I was doing that, but I keep hearing it.
00:52:44Go nuts.
00:52:44All the sass.
00:52:45All the Betty Davis.
00:52:46All right, cute.
00:52:47All the Betty Davis.
00:52:48I'm going to be her.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:49You won't even recognise me for it.
00:52:52She's got Betty Davis out.
00:52:55The road definitely has been a little bit bumpy in my journey for sure.
00:52:58And like constantly fighting to, you know, prove myself.
00:53:05Knowing this could be my last chance, I'm just going to give it everything I've got and I don't give
00:53:11up easy.
00:53:11She turns the music on.
00:53:15If I can't prove conviction tonight, my top 12 dreams are over and I'm going home.
00:53:25She's our Melbourne model looking fierce, fearless and absolutely fabulous.
00:53:32Her mum is proudly cheering her on from the audience singing the global smash hit Betty Davis eyes.
00:53:59She's got Betty Davis eyes.
00:54:04She'll turn her music on, yeah.
00:54:07She'll turn her music on, yeah.
00:54:08You won't have to think twice.
00:54:12She's pure as New York snow.
00:54:15She's got Betty Davis eyes.
00:54:19She'll turn her music on.
00:54:20She'll turn her music on, yeah.
00:54:21And she'll tease you.
00:54:23She'll underneath you.
00:54:25All the better just to please you.
00:54:29She's she knows.
00:54:32She knows just what it takes to make a process
00:54:36She's got Greta Gambo stand-up style
00:54:40She's got Betty Davis eyes
00:54:49She'll let you take her home
00:54:53It whets her appetite
00:54:57She'll let you on her throne
00:55:00She's got Betty Davis eyes
00:55:05She'll expose you when she's known you
00:55:09Off your feet with the crown
00:55:12She throws you, she's ferocious
00:55:15And she knows just what it takes to make a road blush
00:55:22All the boys say she's a spy
00:55:25She's got Betty Davis eyes
00:55:32Yeah, yeah
00:55:35Oh, you've got, yeah, I've got
00:55:39Oh, you've got Betty Davis eyes
00:55:44Off your feet with Meli
00:55:49You, she, she, she, she, she
00:56:11I like it.
00:56:11I don't kiss and tell.
00:56:14That was really cool, man.
00:56:17Yeah.
00:56:18I mean, the thing is, we have put you through it.
00:56:23Just a little.
00:56:24We've run you around a little bit, but I think it's paid off
00:56:27because I thought that was slick.
00:56:29I thought you looked really confident.
00:56:31You should be really proud of that.
00:56:33Yeah.
00:56:34Thank you, guys.
00:56:35You were great.
00:56:36You were great.
00:56:37You were great.
00:56:42Performance is everything, and, you know,
00:56:44you walked out here and you owned the stage.
00:56:46You just owned, and you look fantastic, Sophie.
00:56:49Thank you so much.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Look, there's nothing much I can say,
00:56:53and that happens to be one of my favorite songs in the world.
00:56:56No way.
00:56:56Yeah, way.
00:56:57It's just one of those great songs.
00:56:59I kind of grew up with that song,
00:57:00and I think you did a great job.
00:57:02You're welcome.
00:57:03Thank you so much.
00:57:03Thank you so much.
00:57:09You owned every inch of that stage.
00:57:12You came out like a spider,
00:57:14and everyone was like, whoa, what's going on here?
00:57:17That was the best stage work I've pretty much ever seen on this show.
00:57:21You obviously bring that from your background.
00:57:24You've got a great voice,
00:57:25and I'd play that version of that song on the radio.
00:57:28I can hear it at a festival.
00:57:30I can hear it working again.
00:57:32It's always a great song.
00:57:33We were also really impressed that you, like, designed your own costume.
00:57:37Yes.
00:57:38I said, do they all have to draw their own outfit?
00:57:40Because I didn't see it.
00:57:41But that's a level of expertise you bring from your previous life into this
00:57:46that can only be very rewarding for you.
00:57:49Yeah, you're a real contender as well.
00:57:51You got the whole package.
00:57:53If you're wondering, what do they mean by the whole package?
00:57:56That's what I mean.
00:57:57The whole package.
00:57:59Thank you so, so much, guys.
00:58:03Sophie, that was amazing.
00:58:05I want to get, like, walking lessons from Sophie.
00:58:07I got you.
00:58:08That strut.
00:58:10Wasn't that amazing?
00:58:11Talk to me.
00:58:12How was that for you?
00:58:13That was the best thing ever.
00:58:15You guys are amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing.
00:58:18And I know, I feed off your energy and I give energy.
00:58:20So, thank you.
00:58:22That was awesome.
00:58:23Yep.
00:58:25Sophie, you have your mum, Kim, in the crowd tonight.
00:58:29Yes, I do.
00:58:29Kim, how proud are you of your girl?
00:58:31Oh, I'm just going to ask Kylie if he thinks I look like Sophie's sister.
00:58:37You do, Mum.
00:58:37What a gorgeous...
00:58:38Where do you guys come from?
00:58:40Oh, Melbourne, Victoria.
00:58:41Oh, against all the better judgment, yeah, you look gorgeous.
00:58:45Light her up, guys.
00:58:46Let's have a real good look at my nickel step lights.
00:58:50Oh, God.
00:58:50Fabulous.
00:58:51How good is she?
00:58:51That was a great performance.
00:58:54We've been practising that a lot over the last 24 hours,
00:58:57and that was the best she's done.
00:58:59So, I'm just so happy for her.
00:59:00You must be so proud.
00:59:02She did a great job.
00:59:03That was beautiful.
00:59:04Thank you, Kim.
00:59:05Well, not long now, and we will find out who the judges decide
00:59:09to put through to the top 12 live shows.
00:59:12Let's hear it one more time for Sophie.
00:59:19Okay, the last to sing tonight is the kid from Karratha.
00:59:2320-year-old Cody is determined to prove he has what it takes
00:59:26to go all the way.
00:59:28His idol transformation is truly remarkable
00:59:31and is one that you cannot miss.
00:59:35Then, with only four singers going through tonight,
00:59:38and already the fast pass given to Harlan,
00:59:40we'll find out who will get the last three spots
00:59:43into next week's live shows.
00:59:46Don't go anywhere.
00:59:47This is Australian Idol.
00:59:58It is Transformation Week on Idol,
01:00:00and every one of tonight's singers is desperate
01:00:03to get their hands on a top 12 spot.
01:00:05With Kyle giving Harlan his fast pass,
01:00:08it means there's only three spots still up for grabs.
01:00:11Our very last singer of the evening is fighting for a place,
01:00:15and it's our kid from Karratha.
01:00:17This is Cody.
01:00:24Your voice is a stunner.
01:00:26This is why I love Idol.
01:00:27Cody's just hanging out in Karratha.
01:00:30So this is where I'm getting my hair and makeup done.
01:00:34It's a bit over my head, to be honest.
01:00:36I don't really even know what all of it's for.
01:00:41Oh, I don't know if I was meant to do that.
01:00:44I've seen a cone before.
01:00:46You don't see any guys, like,
01:00:48walking around with makeup on in Karratha.
01:00:50Not that that's a problem, but you just don't.
01:00:53I'm just a kid from a small town.
01:00:56Not long ago, I was just, like, fishing with my dad,
01:00:59and now from my audition,
01:01:02Vance Joy knows who I am.
01:01:04Hey, Cody.
01:01:05You sounded amazing, man, singing Fire in the Flood.
01:01:07Um, congrats, and just wishing you the best
01:01:09for the rest of the competition, man.
01:01:11Really uplifting.
01:01:12Go, go get him.
01:01:13That's pretty crazy.
01:01:14That's pretty cool to me, yeah.
01:01:16How you going, Cody?
01:01:18Hi.
01:01:18How you going?
01:01:20I'm great, yeah.
01:01:21Transformation week.
01:01:22Tell me about your song.
01:01:23What are you singing?
01:01:24I'm singing Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran.
01:01:27Great.
01:01:27Ed Sheeran's, like, my idol.
01:01:29The song speaks a lot about going home and old memories,
01:01:32and I'm kind of, like, dedicating this song to back home.
01:01:37I was younger then.
01:01:40Take me back to an eye.
01:01:46This point, you're kind of, like, you're playing it,
01:01:48and you love the song, and that's great,
01:01:51but now we just need to know how you connect to it.
01:01:54We just want that to come across.
01:01:56If I kind of ground myself in this performance,
01:01:58it would go exactly like the solo performance did.
01:02:01You're dreaming big.
01:02:02You're trying to chase that,
01:02:03and I don't think I saw that on the stage today.
01:02:08You need to take it back to the smell of home,
01:02:11the people that you come from.
01:02:13Thanks very much.
01:02:14Who are the people that ground you and anchor you?
01:02:17Yeah, I kind of, like, I always, like,
01:02:20have my mum and my sister with me.
01:02:24They made this for me, so...
01:02:26That's beautiful.
01:02:27I love that.
01:02:28So, yeah.
01:02:29I come from, like, a calm place,
01:02:31and I just need to, like, remind myself who I am
01:02:34and where I come from in those massive moments,
01:02:38and that is what I'm going to be doing
01:02:40for this next performance, and this is so important.
01:02:47He may be from Outback Australia,
01:02:50but tonight he's headed for centre stage
01:02:52with an incredible transformation.
01:02:54From the dusty roads of remote Western Australia
01:02:57to the dazzling lights of Idol,
01:02:59this is Cody.
01:03:07When I was six years old, I broke my leg.
01:03:14I was running from my brother and his friends.
01:03:21And I tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass,
01:03:26and the star rolled down.
01:03:28And I was younger then, take me back to when I,
01:03:35I found my heart and I broke it here,
01:03:39made friends and lost them through the years.
01:03:42I've not seen the roaring fields in so long.
01:03:48I know I've grown, but I can't wait to go home.
01:03:53And I'm on my way, driving at 90 down those country lanes,
01:04:05singing to a tiny dancer.
01:04:08And I miss the way you make me feel, it's rip when we watch this sunset,
01:04:19over the castle on the hill.
01:04:26Over the castle on the hill, over the castle on the hill.
01:04:37Mmm, mmm, oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, hmm, oh no, no, no.
01:04:45And I miss the way you make me feel, it's rip when we watch this sunset
01:04:56over the castle on the hill.
01:05:18now you are the same bloke we met at the auditions because it feels like there's only half of you
01:05:23have you have you have you done training weight loss like you look completely different
01:05:28it has been like a goal of mine to you know take this seriously well i can't have someone showing
01:05:33me up like that because i've been pretending to lose weight for decades yeah i've just did a lot
01:05:37of running you know man well done that that's commitment that i love that you kept the eyebrows
01:05:42i appreciate it thank you so much really good um look i've got to be honest i i think you're
01:05:49great
01:05:50i think you've got a great voice i really love your energy and everything that you bring to the
01:05:53program i didn't really like the beginning the the spoken word bit no fan of that spoken word
01:05:59thing and when you got into it and you're like you're out there on the corrugated dirt road
01:06:04that was the whole thing i sort of liked that bit and then what so once you got into the
01:06:08vocal and
01:06:09you were singing and performing i loved it but i didn't i wasn't i wasn't i was i was worried
01:06:14at
01:06:15the beginning when you were doing that spoken word rhyme rubbish amy what do you think i kind of see
01:06:21what kyle is trying to say i think it was just um it the the start was a bit shaky
01:06:28when you when
01:06:29you hit your stride you you really you brought the cody that we know back um but we've definitely seen
01:06:37you do a little better but we all know what you're capable of like when i just watch you as
01:06:44an artist
01:06:45um there is a lot of ed resemblance because you're you're you're so proud of where you're from
01:06:54and when i think about especially the song you sang like i don't mean to flex but i was in
01:06:59ed's car
01:06:59when he like pointed and he said see that over there that's the castle on the hill he drives us
01:07:04all past that castle no you weren't there this is one flex i have we've all been in ed's car
01:07:09looking at the freaking castle nobody writes about his hometown that's what makes it so real cody you're
01:07:13so real you're such a real artist we want everyone to win up there um i don't know if that
01:07:20was your
01:07:21strongest performance but i know what you're capable of i i just like it was just i have to agree
