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

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

00:11:52Yeah.

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

00:15:08Pretty Woman.
00:15:17Walking down the street.
00:15:19Pretty Woman.

00:15:22Pretty Woman.
00:15:24I don't believe you.
00:15:27You're not the truth.
00:15:28No one can look as good as you.
00:15:38Pretty Woman.
00:15:40Stop a while.
00:15:42Pretty Woman.
00:15:43Talk a while.

00:15:52Pretty Woman.
00:15:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:55Pretty Woman.
00:15:57Pretty Woman.
00:15:58Look my way.
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:00Pretty Woman.
00:16:01Say you'll stay with me.
00:16:05Cause I need you.
00:16:08Be mine tonight.
00:16:16Pretty Woman.
00:16:18Go walk on by.
00:16:20Pretty Woman.
00:16:22Go make me cry.
00:16:23Pretty Woman.
00:16:26Go walk away.
00:16:29Go walk away.
00:16:32It's not the way it must be.
00:16:34Oh hey.
00:16:37But wait, what do I see?
00:16:44Is she walking back to me?
00:16:49Yeah.
00:16:51She's walking back to me.
00:16:53Behold
00:16:58Pretty woman
00:17:19Jukebox Johnny!
00:17:22Bro, you've done it again.
00:17:24You've made another
00:17:25grandma song
00:17:27an absolute classic for the young,
00:17:30the middle, the old.
00:17:31The good thing about you is that
00:17:33everyone knows that song, and I mean from our
00:17:35Nana's age. Nana was getting
00:17:37frisky with grandpa during that.
00:17:40And he was like,
00:17:41whoa, pretty woman.
00:17:43This will blow you away,
00:17:45but they were doing things that
00:17:47you'll be surprised about.
00:17:49When you get older,
00:17:51you'll know.
00:17:52That is exactly what you need to do.
00:17:55You're a joy to watch.
00:17:56You bring every old song, you make it modern,
00:17:58you make it youthful, you make it powerful.
00:18:00You're a real contender to win this contest,
00:18:03young man.
00:18:13Johnny, you are fearless,
00:18:15you are funky,
00:18:17and you are so on time,
00:18:18because what you're doing is introducing
00:18:20older music to a younger crowd,
00:18:23and what you're doing with it
00:18:25is so cool.
00:18:27And look, I just, you're entertaining,
00:18:29and that's what it's all about.
00:18:37I agree with these guys, Johnny.
00:18:38You're like, I think you're a genius.
00:18:40I think what you have created here is just so smart and fun,
00:18:47and I just wanted to go clubbing,
00:18:48and I haven't been clubbing in a long time,
00:18:51but that music is just so,
00:18:54the arrangement and the energy you put into your show
00:18:58is just, it's addictive, man.
00:19:00You're always so good.
00:19:02I always, like, see your name, and I'm like,
00:19:03yes, Johnny's up.
00:19:05Thank you so much.
00:19:10Johnny, can I just say,
00:19:12the pitch of the screams in here when you perform
00:19:16are next level.
00:19:18It's crazy.
00:19:19That was a huge performance.
00:19:20How do you think that went?
00:19:22It's just, I think it went well,
00:19:24but I'm just so happy I can be here.
00:19:27I'm treating every performance just like another stepping stone,
00:19:30so, yeah, I'm just, it's just so good.
00:19:33It was amazing.
00:19:34What did you guys think?
00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow.
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies screaming.
00:19:45It's the old ladies that are usually doing it.
00:19:46They can't scream that loud.
00:19:47Now, you mentioned in the video
00:19:49that you were singing that for a crush.
00:19:52Do you want to, um, I don't know, maybe spill?
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind, Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's here?
00:19:59Nah.
00:20:00It's not me.
00:20:01I can't say on national television.
00:20:02You're not going to say?
00:20:02What if they're watching?
00:20:03We'll say, say, just say hello.
00:20:04Give a little wink and a little.
00:20:05Hello.
00:20:07You've got to do it a bit more cool.
00:20:09I've got to be cool now.
00:20:09Be cool.
00:20:09Everyone just chill.
00:20:10Be cool.
00:20:11Say hello.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:16That was the opposite.
00:20:18Okay, Johnny.
00:20:20Oh my gosh.
00:20:22I'm going to have to talk to you a bit later.
00:20:23Being an idol gets you perks, right?
00:20:26Like VIP passes to see Pretty Woman.
00:20:28That was pretty cool.
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:29Oh, that was so cool.
00:20:31Got to meet Samantha Jade.
00:20:32It's just neck level.
00:20:33Oh my gosh.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:35Oh, Johnny.
00:20:36Sorry, I've got to be cool.
00:20:37Johnny.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Don't tell me Samantha Jade's the crush, is it?
00:20:40Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:42Because I know her husband, so it's very awkward.
00:20:44It's very awkward.
00:20:46Well, Pretty Woman the Musical is touring Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this year.
00:20:49Make sure you check it out.
00:20:50It is amazing.
00:20:52Alright, Australia.
00:20:52You know what to do.
00:20:53If you want to see John through to the top ten, the only way to get him there is to
00:20:58vote.
00:20:58Vote.
00:20:59Vote.
00:21:00Give it up for John.
00:21:06Alright, still to make their top 12 debut is Wan Woo, Trey and Melbourne model Sophie.
00:21:13But up next, our 18 year old Brizzy boy Harlan, who had some extra help getting ready for this
00:21:18week's performance.
00:21:19He met with an A-lister who hit the stage at today's Oscars.
00:21:24Just wait until you see who it is.
00:21:37Welcome back to Idol.
00:21:39Look, it's not movie week without your movie snacks.
00:21:42You've got your popcorn, your drinks and you can't forget your choc tops.
00:21:47And speaking of chocolate, this week Harlan is taking on a song from the iconic movie Willy Wonka and the
00:21:52Chocolate Factory.
00:21:53And he had the opportunity to link up with the award winning A-lister Josh Groban to help him prepare
00:22:00for tonight's performance.
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week, it's movie week.
00:22:10I am singing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
00:22:15Today I get the absolute privilege and honour to meet the Josh Groban.
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums.
00:22:22He's a Grammy-nominated artist.
00:22:24And Josh has actually covered this song and I really just want to know how he fine-tuned and tweaked
00:22:28his version of it.
00:22:29Hey.
00:22:30Hi, how are you?
00:22:31Harlan, Josh.
00:22:32Nice to meet you.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:34First of all, congratulations.
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs and you've got such a magnificent instrument.
00:22:39Oh, thank you.
00:22:39You're so good.
00:22:40So this is movie songs.
00:22:42Yes, yes, yes.
00:22:43Oh, man.
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination, which you've done a wonderful cover of.
00:22:46Yes, thank you very much.
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia.
00:22:49It takes you back to that place.
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of inspiration from your amazing cover.
00:22:54So with this song, I like to start it really simple.
00:22:58You can grab people's attention with bigness immediately.
00:23:02But then that overstays its welcome.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:04And people start to get like, okay, my hair's been blown back for a while now.
00:23:08Do you want to just sing just a tiny bit for me?
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:23:22What are you thinking about when you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling of watching that movie.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29Like when you see the doors of this massive factory open.
00:23:32And it's just like that childlike wonder and just like awe.
00:23:36So in fact that joy.
00:23:37If you can tap in to that place, then you're golden.
00:23:41It's always great to kind of dare to let them lean in.
00:23:43Like let them come to you.
00:23:45And an audience just wants to feel this.
00:23:47That's really all they want.
00:23:49Meeting Josh was an incredible experience.
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now that I can apply to my own performance.
00:23:56I really hope I can tap into the feeling of nostalgia.
00:23:59You can get all the notes right, but the notes don't matter if you don't have the feeling.
00:24:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:24:22Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
00:24:34We'll begin with a spin.
00:24:40Traveling in a world of my creation.
00:24:45What we'll see will defy explanation.
00:24:57If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.
00:25:08Anything you want to do it.
00:25:12Anything you want to do it.
00:25:14If you want to change the world, there's nothing to it.
00:25:21There is no life I know.
00:25:28To compare with your imagination.
00:25:34Living there, you'll be free.
00:25:38If you can leave.
00:25:43If you can leave.
00:25:45Wish you'll be.
00:25:48Oh, wish you'll be here.
00:26:03Come with me.
00:26:30Well, Harlan, I have no face because you just melted it off.
00:26:37You are just, I think we're having one of these moments where we're seeing someone with an extreme talent.
00:26:49Like, that was just incredible.
00:26:53I don't know how you compose yourself.
00:26:57You could have heard a pin drop then.
00:26:59Like, you had everyone in the palm of your hand.
00:27:02It's not like you've been doing this your whole life.
00:27:03This is like the early stages of your career.
00:27:07That, I mean, well done.
00:27:08I don't know what else to say.
00:27:59You're welcome.
00:28:01You're welcome.
00:28:02You're welcome.
00:28:06Harlan, great voice.
00:28:09Chris.
00:28:09You're a wonderful performer.
00:28:11Every time we see you, we're always gobsmacked.
00:28:14And I never watched that dumb movie.
00:28:17You haven't seen that one either?
00:28:19Nor do I like that dumb song at all.
00:28:21But you owned, I've never even heard that song.
00:28:24Just so you know.
00:28:25Never.
00:28:26But you did a great job.
00:28:28It didn't matter that I'd never heard it.
00:28:29I thought you did a remarkable job.
00:28:32You owned the night so far.
00:28:33You're the best so far.
00:28:35Thank you, guys.
00:28:45My goodness.
00:28:46You know what my favourite thing is, is when Marsha is watching someone and she thinks
00:28:50they're so amazing, she almost looks like she's angry with you.
00:28:54I can never tell.
00:28:56I'm so scared.
00:28:56She looked furious at you during that.
00:28:58That was insane.
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:01Um, a couple of sound checks.
00:29:03I'm like, I get to one point, I'm like, oh my God, I'm nearly fainting because it's
00:29:06like a lot physically.
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:08But yeah, it felt good.
00:29:09Um, I'm so grateful to be here and I'm so grateful to be here so young.
00:29:13It's an amazing opportunity.
00:29:14And yeah.
00:29:15It's amazing.
00:29:17We're so lucky to have you.
00:29:18My goodness.
00:29:19And you got the chance to meet the Josh Groban who literally flew home hours after you
00:29:25catch up and then hit the Oscars stage.
00:29:26What was that like meeting him?
00:29:28Um, I didn't really know what to expect someone at his level.
00:29:33Like he's saying with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, like nearly everyone, but he was probably
00:29:38one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life.
00:29:41He was such a beautiful, beautiful man.
00:29:44Um, and the biggest like note I got from him was to just lead with kindness and be kind
00:29:50and tune everything else out.
00:29:52Really, really, really beautiful.
00:29:54Amazing.
00:29:55Well, Josh's new album Cinematic is out on May 8.
00:29:58His voice is incredible.
00:29:59Go and check it out.
00:30:00And if you want to see Harlan sing again, you have to vote Australia.
00:30:04Text Harlan to get him into the top of 10.
00:30:09Put your hands together for Harlan!
00:30:12Thank you, Josh.
00:30:16After the break, we have got our soul singing Waitress Wanwoo taking on a smash hit from
00:30:22a family favourite classic.
00:30:24It is a good one.
00:30:26And then later tonight, just one idol will get the judge saved, which will secure them
00:30:31a spot in the top 10.
00:30:33That major plot twist is coming up.
00:30:45Welcome back to Australian Idol.
00:30:48It's top 12 week and to celebrate the launch of the live shows, our idols have recorded
00:30:52and released their very own single.
00:30:55Check it out.
00:31:07Yes, you can get All Night Long out on iTunes right now.
00:31:11Search for Australian Idol or check out the QR code on screen.
00:31:15You will see them perform it right here on tomorrow night's live results show.
00:31:20Well, it's now time for our next performer.
00:31:23She's our soul singer from Melbourne, taking on a song from the Shrek movies.
00:31:28This is Wanwoo!
00:31:39Hi, Mama.
00:31:41Hello, beautiful baby.
00:31:44Mama, I was calling you because for movie week, the song I'm doing is from Shrek.
00:31:50The green man, yeah?
00:31:51Yes, the green man.
00:31:52I love everything about Shrek.
00:31:55Like, I wrote an essay about Shrek, so I sound like a mecha nerd.
00:32:00No one's reading it.
00:32:04Yeah, well first get to Australia, yeah.
00:32:06So I'm singing, holding out for a hero and I was calling you to let you know that you're my
00:32:12hero.
00:32:13And the song is for you.
00:32:16Oh, Mum, don't cry.
00:32:17Oh, Mum.
00:32:21My connection to the song is like, not only is it about Shrek and like him being a hero for
00:32:26Fiona.
00:32:27For me, my mum is my hero.
00:32:31My dad passed away when I was eight, so my mum was literally my mum and dad.
00:32:37Like, she's my idol.
00:32:39I am where I am because of my mum.
00:32:42I'm like, Kim, let me cry.
00:32:43I got makeup on.
00:32:46I need a hero.
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:32:52I know your mum was very emotional about your top 21 performance and she's so proud of you.
00:33:00When you were small, we proud of you.
00:33:03That's what we are here for.
00:33:06How do you think you're going to go this week seeing her again?
00:33:11Last week, I got so emotional to see how proud she was.
00:33:14This week, I really don't want to break down in tears and like stop in the middle of my performance.
00:33:19It's like she'll be watching me become everything she sacrificed for me to be.
00:33:23So, it's just going to be a full circle moment.
00:33:27Like, the stakes are high.
00:33:35Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
00:33:41Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
00:33:47And isn't there a white night upon the fire's deep?
00:33:54Later night, I touch and I turn and I dream of what I need.
00:34:00I need a hero.
00:34:03I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:34:08He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast and he's got to be larger than life.
00:34:14I need a hero.
00:34:16I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:34:20He's got to be stronger and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.
00:34:27Larger than life.

00:34:36He brought with the end of the night night.
00:34:38Strong fast.
00:34:38He can lodge in the lifeline.
00:34:39If I call, do you think he will buy back?
00:34:41See the mountains and the heavens above.
00:34:42I see the lightning thunder and the flood.
00:34:44I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.
00:34:47Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:49Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:50Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51In my blood.

00:35:07I need a hero.
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:35:13He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.

00:41:39Okay, for movie week. I'll be singing let it go from frozen
00:41:43I have a special connection to let it go. It's a family favorite of ours
00:41:46We sing frozen let it go all the time, don't we
00:41:49Let it go let it go let it go
00:41:53Let it go let it go
00:41:53I don't care
00:41:55Fair by said
00:41:56Sean Gray John
00:41:59You sound like an angel
00:42:01Whoooo
00:42:05Let it go
00:42:07Let it go
00:42:08Let it go
00:42:08I can't hold it back anymore
00:42:12We're putting a big R&B spin on it
00:42:15I don't even think i've ever heard an R&B spin on let it go before so it's going to
00:42:21be new
00:42:22Slightly risky doing an R&B version
00:42:25Yeah of this song
00:42:27It's a challenge because it's always a risk to switch up such a classic song
00:42:31Especially when it's a disney ballad pop song
00:42:36You just don't want to take it too far away from how people remember it
00:42:40Remember it and also miss silas
00:42:42And also the fact yeah hopefully silas loves it
00:42:45I want to make my daughters proud of this performance because they love it and that's ultimately why i'm doing
00:42:50it is for them
00:42:52Yeah, i'm definitely more worried about this little girl's judgment and the three judges on the day to be honest
00:42:59because she'll be brutal
00:43:03Oh
00:43:03You want me to sing it now and you judge now i'm nervous
00:43:08That's why i'm a little bit scared for this one
00:43:10Yeah, it's um it'll be interesting to see how she feels about it
00:43:13Is that yeah thumbs up?
00:43:15Yes
00:43:17Oh
00:43:19Wow
00:43:25Let it go
00:43:27Let it go
00:43:28I can't hold it back anymore
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight
00:43:37Not a footprint to be seen
00:43:41A kingdom of isolation
00:43:45And it looks like i'm the king
00:43:49The wind is silent like the swirling storm inside
00:43:57I couldn't keep it in
00:43:59Heaven knows i've tried
00:44:03Let it go
00:44:05Let it go
00:44:06I can't hold it back anymore
00:44:11Let it go
00:44:13Let it go
00:44:16Because the cold never bothered me
00:44:20It's time to see what i can do
00:44:24To test the limits and breakthroughs
00:44:27No right, no wrong
00:44:29No rules for me
00:44:31I'm free
00:44:33Let it go
00:44:35Let it go
00:44:37Let it go
00:44:38Let it go
00:44:38I can't hold it back anymore
00:44:40Let it go
00:44:43Let it go
00:44:45Let it go
00:44:46Turn away and slam the door
00:44:48I don't care what they're gonna say
00:44:53I don't care what they're gonna say
00:44:53Let the storm rage on
00:44:55Let the storm rage on
00:44:56Baby, baby
00:44:57Let it go
00:44:58Let it go
00:45:00Let it go
00:45:02Let it go
00:45:06Let it go
00:45:12Because the cold never bothered me anyway
00:45:44Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:45:47Believe in you
00:45:48And if you're a likable person
00:45:50You are so believable
00:45:51You're so likable
00:45:53You're such a good guy
00:45:54But you are also a genius
00:45:56That was so good
00:45:59Thank you
00:45:59That's gonna stream off its head
00:46:01Thank you so much
00:46:03Thank you
00:46:05So good man
00:46:06Yeah
00:46:07It would be almost impossible
00:46:09For most moms and dads
00:46:11Godparents grandparents
00:46:13Not to know that song honey
00:46:15Because when it was all happening
00:46:17I heard it so many times
00:46:19I could kill somebody
00:46:20You know what I mean
00:46:22But your rendition of that
00:46:24Was just so beautiful
00:46:25Trey, you know
00:46:27And yeah
00:46:28There's nothing much I can say
00:46:29Except I think that was a very
00:46:31Very clever choice on your part
00:46:32Thank you so much, Marcia
00:46:33I appreciate it
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song
00:46:39Trey, of course
00:46:41I don't
00:46:43That's another cartoon
00:46:44Rubbish movie
00:46:45That I haven't watched
00:46:46Being a grown man
00:46:48Obviously the song's rubbish as well
00:46:50But your version of it
00:46:52You made it all chocolate
00:46:54And it's beautiful
00:46:55And ooh
00:46:56With a nougar-y
00:46:58Caramel-y
00:46:59Ooh
00:47:00I was eating that up
00:47:02And that
00:47:02Mate
00:47:03You're up there with
00:47:04The greatest
00:47:05Like you make
00:47:06Every song you sing
00:47:07Like the forbidden
00:47:08Ooh
00:47:10Ooh, I've gone home
00:47:11Without me shoes again
00:47:12You know the time
00:47:13You're that bloke
00:47:14That was
00:47:16Very clever
00:47:17As Amy said
00:47:18All the kids love that
00:47:19Every stupid little girl
00:47:20With the head
00:47:21They all love it
00:47:23The guy can't be beat
00:47:24I need you to stop
00:47:26Everything was bad
00:47:27That was sick
00:47:27Everything
00:47:28Everything
00:47:29Thank you
00:47:30Everything
00:47:31Hi Ricky
00:47:32The guy that's seen nothing
00:47:34Has all the opinions
00:47:35On the things he's never seen
00:47:36I love it
00:47:37I've never seen any of these
00:47:39Rubbish things
00:47:39And I loved every song so far
00:47:41I love it
00:47:41Trey
00:47:42That was a girl dad
00:47:43Power move
00:47:44If I ever saw one
00:47:46Absolutely
00:47:46My goodness
00:47:50What a cool spin on that song
00:47:52How do you think it went?
00:47:53It was fun
00:47:54It was really fun
00:47:54To put a twist on this song
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous
00:47:57Because it is such a big song
00:47:59You know
00:48:00It's known in
00:48:01Probably majority of every household
00:48:02Every kid loves that song
00:48:03So yeah
00:48:04It was scary
00:48:05But I felt good
00:48:06With the performance
00:48:07And I'm happy the judges felt
00:48:09The same way
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:10Yeah we did
00:48:11Thank you
00:48:12I think all the
00:48:13The mums and dads
00:48:14That would have been hearing that song
00:48:15Would be so excited
00:48:16To hear it done in a different way
00:48:18Now Trey
00:48:18Your beautiful wife Victoria
00:48:20Is here tonight
00:48:21And your gorgeous daughters
00:48:22Have had to go to bed
00:48:23It's past their bedtime
00:48:24Yeah
00:48:25But I need to ask you
00:48:27Do you think
00:48:27Your biggest critic Silas
00:48:30Would have loved that performance
00:48:33Thumbs up now
00:48:33She would have loved it
00:48:34But her favourite is John
00:48:35So
00:48:38She doesn't care about my performances
00:48:40She just wants to see John
00:48:41At the moment
00:48:42So she saw John
00:48:43And then she went home
00:48:44She looked really comfy
00:48:45I love that
00:48:46You can't
00:48:47The kids
00:48:47They're so honest
00:48:48What do you do
00:48:49She looked really comfy
00:48:50She looked really comfy in this chair
00:48:51I'm a bit worried
00:48:51She really did
00:48:52Watch out
00:48:53Watch out
00:48:55She's coming for your job
00:48:56Trey it's up to the public now
00:48:58To keep you in the competition
00:48:59Tell Australia why they should vote for you
00:49:02Well I've been working on my craft
00:49:04For a very long time now
00:49:06And you know
00:49:07The main reason
00:49:07I just want Australia
00:49:09To you know
00:49:09Witness growth
00:49:10I still have a lot to learn
00:49:11And I breathe music
00:49:13So it's forever my goal
00:49:15To you know
00:49:16Become the greatest version
00:49:17Of myself
00:49:17I can be musically
00:49:18And as a human
00:49:19So
00:49:21That's why I think
00:49:23Of Australia
00:49:23Yeah
00:49:24Marsha's lost it
00:49:26Well another heartfelt performance
00:49:29From Trey

00:49:35Text Trey
00:49:36To the number
00:49:37On the screen
00:49:38Let's hear it

00:49:56From a Hollywood legend
00:49:58Plus our judges decide
00:50:00Who they'll save
00:50:01From the public vote

00:50:04Australian Idle
00:50:05Will be back in just a moment
00:50:16Welcome back to movie week
00:50:18On Idle
00:50:18The final singer of the night
00:50:20Is our model
00:50:21Sophie
00:50:21And I'm here with her mum
00:50:23Kim
00:50:23Who's cheering her on tonight
00:50:25Now Kim
00:50:25When did you realise
00:50:27Little Sophie
00:50:28Was going to be
00:50:28A big star
00:50:29From a very young age
00:50:31She's always been
00:50:32A performer
00:50:33She's grown up
00:50:34In a very busy house
00:50:36And she's kept us
00:50:37Entertained for years
00:50:39And now I heard
00:50:40That you were the one
00:50:41That convinced her
00:50:42To audition for Idle
00:50:43You must be glad
00:50:44You did that
00:50:44Oh absolutely
00:50:45Yeah
00:50:46Yes
00:50:47Absolutely
00:50:47Look at her
00:50:48She's a star
00:50:49She's sparkling tonight
00:50:51Well we are so glad
00:50:52That you did that
00:50:52Alright well let's see
00:50:54How Sophie
00:50:55Our model from Melbourne
00:50:56Prepared for her performance
00:50:57This week
00:51:09I'm great
00:51:10How are you feeling
00:51:11I'm good
00:51:11And it's movie week
00:51:14Yep
00:51:14Tell me what song you're doing
00:51:15I'm doing
00:51:16Diamonds Are Girls Best Friends
00:51:17One of my favourite songs
00:51:19In the movie
00:51:19Gentlemen prefer blondes
00:51:21Yes
00:51:21Iconic
00:51:22Just iconic
00:51:24Top 21
00:51:25Kyle was particularly impressed
00:51:28That was the best stage work
00:51:30I've pretty much ever seen
00:51:31On this show
00:51:32If you're wondering
00:51:33What do they mean
00:51:34By the whole package
00:51:34That's what I mean
00:51:35The whole package
00:51:37Kyle's saying that
00:51:37I had the best stage work
00:51:38That was such a green light
00:51:40To just
00:51:40Let's even
00:51:41Do it even more
00:51:43Thank you so much
00:51:45You made it
00:51:46I made it
00:51:47Just to elevate
00:51:49Yeah
00:51:49Your performance
00:51:50How do you feel
00:51:52About two male dancers
00:51:53Really?
00:51:55Yes
00:51:55Actually
00:51:56Actually
00:51:57Oh my god
00:51:57That is like my dream
00:51:59Yeah
00:51:59That is literally my dream
00:52:01We're going to have to really step up
00:52:02Yeah
00:52:02Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes
00:52:04There is going to be a bit more on my plate
00:52:07For this performance
00:52:09You've just gone here
00:52:10Full
00:52:10Yeah
00:52:13Tying everything in
00:52:14And making it still sound amazing
00:52:18Because at the end of the day
00:52:19This is a singing show
00:52:20Yeah
00:52:20Then from here you're going to run
00:52:22Left, right, left
00:52:23Oh, left, right, left
00:52:24Left, right
00:52:24So much dancing
00:52:25Can really get in the way
00:52:26Of your vocal work
00:52:27And the breath control
00:52:29And your delivery
00:52:30It is a risk
00:52:32To add all your movement
00:52:33But taking risks
00:52:35Lead to better results
00:52:37Yeah
00:52:37So let's just go from
00:52:38The high note
00:52:39Just before the dance break
00:52:40Okay
00:52:41Yeah
00:52:41So we got
00:52:42Diamond
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure
00:52:45Is definitely on
00:52:46For this performance
00:52:47Diamond
00:52:48I've got a lot to prove
00:52:50To Australia
00:52:51And myself
00:52:52If I could complete
00:52:53That full package
00:52:54And make the top ten
00:52:57It would just be
00:52:58Truly a dream come true
00:53:15Diamond
00:53:18A girl's best friend
00:53:24A girl on the hand
00:53:27May be quite continental
00:53:29But diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:53:32And gifts may be grand
00:53:35But I won't pay the rental
00:53:37On your humble flat
00:53:38Or help you at the auto max
00:53:42Cause men grow cold
00:53:43And girls grow old
00:53:45And we all lose our charms
00:53:47In the end
00:53:49A square cut
00:53:51Or pair shapes
00:53:52These rocks don't lose their shape
00:53:54Diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:53:59And diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:54:09Tiffany
00:54:14Cardia
00:54:16Talk to me Australia
00:54:18Tell me all about it
00:54:22As time rolls on
00:54:25And youth is gone
00:54:26And you can't straighten up
00:54:29When you bend
00:54:31But stiff back
00:54:32Or stiff knees
00:54:33You'll stare straight
00:54:34At stiff knees
00:54:36Diamonds
00:54:37Are a girl's best friend
00:54:40And a girl's best friend
00:54:50Best friend
00:55:12Sophie, little Sophie, look at you sparkling away up there.
00:55:17I know, shining.
00:55:17Once again, great to see you.
00:55:19You always do a fabulous job.
00:55:21You are a born entertainer.
00:55:22You look the part.
00:55:23The outfit is spot on.
00:55:25I like the dancing.
00:55:26I like the macho-y or whatever, the men vibe there.
00:55:31That was great.
00:55:32All of the stuff on the screens, great song.
00:55:36And you are a little character.
00:55:39The thing I like about you is that you sort of morph.
00:55:43You forget that it's you.
00:55:44You actually just turn into an actress, a singer, an entertainer.
00:55:49You're doing it all.
00:55:50And I just really want you to stay in the contest.
00:55:53Because you're so good.
00:55:55And you just are very believable.
00:55:56Every time I see you, I just fall into the performance, whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, girl.
00:56:01And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right now.
00:56:05And let me tell you, I spent a lot of money on diamonds.
00:56:08A lot.
00:56:09Good.
00:56:10The girl loves them.
00:56:11Yeah, love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, girl.
00:56:16Oh, yes.
00:56:17We love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:22You look fantastic.
00:56:22Are they boots?
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24No, they're boots.
00:56:25No, they're boots.
00:56:25Oh, they were on one big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl.
00:56:27You look fantastic.
00:56:29Thank you so much.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's, that's...
00:56:37It's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39And that's old, okay?
00:56:42So, that was...
00:56:42Because you look so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe, you know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50You look great.
00:56:50And I just like your show business prowess.
00:56:54You know what to do, you know?
00:56:56I mean, just to stand there and just sing and do nothing, uh-uh.
00:56:59But to actually perform, way to go.
00:57:01Well done, Sophie.
00:57:01Thank you so much, Marshall.
00:57:02That means a lot.
00:57:04Thank you all.
00:57:07I know, um, that was like the Marilyn Monroe, but one of my favourite movies of all time
00:57:12is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15And burlesque.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:17That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see, like, you're like one of these people that you, um, you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like, once you start hitting your stride, like, we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:32That, that was like such an amazing performance that you did then so effortlessly with dancers
00:57:40and, and singing and, and just being like Kyle said, this character.
00:57:44It's like, that's what Australia wants.
00:57:47They don't want anyone boring.
00:57:48They want to see someone who they're like, wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So, well done.
00:57:56Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:03Sophie, looking like a million bucks up here, serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:11And that arrangement was insane.
00:58:14Did you enjoy that?
00:58:15I had a fabulous, amazing time, of course.
00:58:18How could I not?
00:58:19Oh, my gosh.
00:58:20Look at this opportunity.
00:58:21It's just insane.
00:58:23I'm so grateful.
00:58:23You, you, you absolutely took over the stage.
00:58:26You brought everything to that performance.
00:58:28Two backup dancers.
00:58:30I mean, where did you pull them from?
00:58:32A blessing.
00:58:33So cool.
00:58:34Is it, like, how important is it for you to put on a show with all of the bells and
00:58:38whistles?
00:58:38Like, is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah.
00:58:40I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is, like, it's just me.
00:58:45I really want to entertain people.
00:58:47And I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality.
00:58:49And I've been gifted this gift to do this.
00:58:52And that's really how I feel.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54So, yeah, I want to make the most of it, of course.
00:58:55And it's all just to connect with people and entertain them and make their life any easier if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:01You know, hear laughs or...
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:03Yeah.
00:59:04Well, if you want to see Sophie again next week, you have to vote for her, Australia.
00:59:10Text Sophie to the number on the screen to help her lock in a top ten spot.
00:59:16Make some noise, everybody, for Sophie!
00:59:18Thank you all so much.
00:59:20I love you all.
00:59:21I love you all, okay?
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make that will be a total game changer for one
00:59:33of tonight's performers.
00:59:34They'll decide who will skip the public vote and be sent directly into the top ten.
00:59:40An advantage like that at this stage in the competition is invaluable.
00:59:45That decision is coming up on Australian Idol.
00:59:48Don't go anywhere.
00:59:59You're watching Idol and the judges are currently deciding which of tonight's performers will score the coveted judge save,
01:00:07which will lock one Idol into the top ten, skipping the public vote.
01:00:11While they mull over that massive decision, we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol and about to head on a national tour.
01:00:21But before he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top 12.
01:00:27Singing his ARIA award-winning song, Choir.
01:00:31This is Carl Sebastian.
01:00:37I know it's weird to say this, but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas, drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages, and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life, the ones I got to share with you are
01:00:57probably my favorite.
01:00:59I know you're looking down on us.
01:01:01I'm missing you, bro.
01:01:02I hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home.
01:01:06And I know you're not alone.
01:01:08Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:10Now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:13You ain't doing this solo.
01:01:15We all riding with you, boo-boo.

01:01:29Hey, hey.
01:01:31See, we fill up all our days with working and grinding just to make ends meet.
01:01:36Too busy to call, we'll catch up next week.
01:01:38And then it gets to next week, and we say maybe next week.
01:01:41And then before you know, we are feeling old.
01:01:45Asking ourselves, where did my friends go?
01:01:47When they go home.
01:01:48Don't wait till they go home.
01:01:51Now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:53Now you're dancing in a crew.

01:03:59What a choir.
01:04:01Wow, well, well.
01:04:02That's an expensive choir.
01:04:03The OG Australian Idol, showing us how it's done.
01:04:07My goodness, Guy, you are amazing.
01:04:10And you are about to head out on the road for the 100 Times Around the Sun tour.
01:04:14Tell us what we can all expect.
01:04:16Well, I'll be there, obviously, and my band.
01:04:20And look, it's 23 years since Idol.
01:04:23Wow.
01:04:25And what is crazy is that's older than some of those idols in the Top 12.
01:04:31Isn't it just, yeah.
01:04:31But I've been lucky enough to have so much support, and that's what this is all about.
01:04:35And these guys are experiencing it with all their own fans now.
01:04:38So thank you for being along for the ride.
01:04:4123 years, 10 albums.
01:04:43There'll be a lot of music at the show.
01:04:45Huge.
01:04:46Now, this tour is going from coast to coast.
01:04:48There's 16 dates around the country.
01:04:50Tickets are selling fast, so get yours now at guysebastian.com.
01:04:54Tonight is the first time Australia is voting.
01:04:57You know more than anyone how important it is to get behind your favourite idols, right?
01:05:00Oh, yeah.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:01I was in the bottom two, I think, a couple of times.
01:05:04And, yes, I know.
01:05:06But, you know, a lot of the times you get complacent.
01:05:09You think, oh, they're so good, they'll get through.
01:05:11And then they get out and everyone cries.
01:05:13So let's save the crying.
01:05:14Vote for your favourite.
01:05:16Get them through.
01:05:17Absolutely.
01:05:17Guy, it is so good to have you back at home on the idol stage.
01:05:21Give it up one more time for Guy Sebastian.
01:05:28Of course.
01:05:30Up next, the judges will announce who they'll save from this week's public vote
01:05:35and send directly into the top 10.
01:05:37That moment of truth right after the break.
01:05:47You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:05:52They'll win a life-changing $100,000.
01:05:57Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards.
01:06:03Boost their brand with the Annex, the experts in marketing and social media.
01:06:09Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing and score an exclusive package to record new music at Sydney's Hive
01:06:17Sound Studios.
01:06:22What an awesome way to kickstart a career.
01:06:27OK, all night, your idols have poured their hearts onto the stage.
01:06:33Now, the moment of truth has arrived.
01:06:36The judges have made their impossible choice.
01:06:40Who will they save from the public vote and send straight into the top 10?
01:06:46Yes, Marsha and Kyle.
01:06:49How difficult was tonight's decision?
01:06:52Quite difficult.
01:06:53Yeah.
01:06:53Because tonight, I loved everyone.
01:06:56Buddy, you guys really stepped up.
01:06:58Please, you know, you've got to own that, OK?
01:07:00It's been so impressive how you've changed and how you've taken your notes
01:07:05and how you've just decided, OK, so at this point in time, this is who I am.
01:07:10There's a lot more to come, but, gee, I am so impressed.
01:07:14We are very impressed with you guys.
01:07:17OK, it's time to find out who will be instantly locked into the top 10.
01:07:22All right, Amy, who have the judges decided to send through to the top 10?
01:07:32Seriously, one of the best nights of Idol ever, you guys, like, ever.
01:07:38What a night.
01:07:40It was so tough.
01:07:44Really, really, really tough decision.
01:07:50But this person has a trajectory in this competition that tells us they're far from done.
01:08:02They have connection, emotion, star power.
01:08:12Incredible heart, most importantly, you know.
01:08:15And I think the audience can actually see your hearts.
01:08:19I don't know if you guys are aware of that, but that's what performance is,
01:08:23when people actually see you show who you are.
01:08:28So the person we are saving.
01:08:42The person going straight through isn't the one or the two.
01:08:49It's the one, whoo.
01:08:51Yeah!
01:08:57The one, whoo!
01:08:59Congratulations!
01:09:04Look what you did to her, judges!
01:09:07Wow!
01:09:08You are safe.
01:09:09You are safe from this week's elimination and straight into the top 10.
01:09:15What do you want to say to the judges?
