00:00:22Welcome to Transformation Week.
00:00:25This is...
00:00:26Australia Rule!
00:00:43Hello, Australia. I'm Rikki Lee.
00:00:46And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:48Tonight, our singers will deliver their most important performance
00:00:51of the competition so far,
00:00:53right here in front of the biggest audience ever.
00:01:00Wow.
00:01:01Wow.
00:01:02They are all getting an incredible makeover
00:01:05and choosing a song to show the judges
00:01:07why they are the total package
00:01:10and worthy of a place in the top 12.
00:01:13Deciding their fate tonight are the biggest names in the biz,
00:01:17your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:27Carl Sandilands.
00:01:29Marsha Hines.
00:01:32And Amy Sharp.
00:01:38Good evening, Scotty.
00:01:40Good evening, Rikki Lee.
00:01:42Here we go again.
00:01:46Is it getting louder in here?
00:01:48Huge.
00:01:49What a crowd.
00:01:51Looking good, judges.
00:01:54Wow.
00:01:56All right.
00:01:58Welcome, judges.
00:02:00Hey.
00:02:00Hi.
00:02:01All right.
00:02:01So, this is how tonight will go.
00:02:04Seven singers will perform.
00:02:05Then the judges will decide which four deserve to go through
00:02:09to next week's all-important live shows.
00:02:13But in this round,
00:02:15we also have the almighty Fast Pass.
00:02:20Yes.
00:02:21It is such a game-changer.
00:02:23With one decision,
00:02:24they can send an artist directly into the top 12,
00:02:27overriding the rest of the panel.
00:02:28All right, Scotty.
00:02:29Who wants a demonstration from Scotty?
00:02:31Scotty.
00:02:32Give us your Fast Pass, Scotty.
00:02:34This is what you're looking out for, everyone.
00:02:36Three, two, one.
00:02:38Fast Pass!
00:02:43You have more sub-office in here tonight?
00:02:45That was beautiful.
00:02:46That was really beautiful.
00:02:47Good graphics.
00:02:47All right.
00:02:48Each judge has only one Fast Pass,
00:02:50which can be used on any singer at any time
00:02:54over the next three nights.
00:02:56Amy, are you looking forward to seeing these amazing makeovers tonight?
00:03:00I am.
00:03:01This is, like, my favourite part because it's, like...
00:03:03I mean, everyone would love to be able to perform
00:03:06in an Adidas track suit.
00:03:07I tried to do it for a while.
00:03:08It doesn't work.
00:03:09You need to elevate.
00:03:09And, um, I think these guys are really going to show up tonight.
00:03:13I'm excited.
00:03:14100%.
00:03:15Marsha, the talent this year, incredible.
00:03:18It's not going to be easy to judge them, right?
00:03:20No, it's not.
00:03:21It's never easy to judge them.
00:03:23But the bottom line is we have done the best we can
00:03:26and I hope that the kids do too.
00:03:29That's what's really important.
00:03:30All we can do is the best we can do
00:03:32and that's exactly what they're going to do tonight.
00:03:35Absolutely.
00:03:35Yeah.
00:03:37Now, Kyle, it is more than just the vocals on Idol.
00:03:41You're looking for stage presence, confidence, charisma,
00:03:44the complete package, right?
00:03:45Plus the reverse energy that they can master from the crowd.
00:03:49Because a lot of people can sing,
00:03:51a lot of people can strut around and do their thing,
00:03:52but do they have the energy and the backing of the audience?
00:03:56That's a big part of making money out of this business.
00:03:58All right, well, we are going to find out tonight for sure.
00:04:01All right, well, let's kick things off
00:04:03with our very first singer of the night.
00:04:05This Adelaide school teacher and mother
00:04:07has blown us away every single time she performs.
00:04:12Her very first audition moved the judges to tears
00:04:15and got millions of views online.
00:04:18Will Samela style up and step up
00:04:21to secure a place in the top 12?
00:04:23Well, let's find out.
00:04:31I have never experienced an audition like that.
00:04:36Yeah, wow.
00:04:38Oh, you guys.
00:04:40Yeah, wow.
00:04:41Hello.
00:04:42How are you?
00:04:42Welcome to Top 21.
00:04:44How's this all looked here?
00:04:45It's huge.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:46I'm excited.
00:04:47Yesterday I was doing kindy drop-off
00:04:49and teaching a Year 7 class
00:04:52and now I'm in the Top 21.
00:04:54I'm living a double life.
00:04:56It's unreal.
00:04:56I'm not sure if you know this yet,
00:04:58but you are our first performer
00:05:02of Top 21, Transformation Week.
00:05:04Good.
00:05:07Oh, my.
00:05:08First one.
00:05:09Yeah, first one.
00:05:10We're good.
00:05:10You got this.
00:05:11You got this.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:12For Transformation Week, I'm singing Alive by Sia.
00:05:15This song is the biggest song I've probably ever sung.
00:05:18Sia does nothing in halves.
00:05:21And neither am I.
00:05:22Yeah?
00:05:23There are a lot of high notes in this song
00:05:25and it's testing me.
00:05:26It's pushing me to my limits.
00:05:28Your face told me that that note was coming.
00:05:31So don't let us know.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Just don't ever think that.
00:05:34This is unlike anything I've ever done before.
00:05:37The band, the massive stage,
00:05:38and I need to be on point.
00:05:40It is a little bit of pressure.
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43But I can't wait to see your transformation.
00:05:45And you'll be the first.
00:05:46Yeah, I bet.
00:05:47I don't get to dress up as a mum.
00:05:50Because it.
00:05:52Nope.
00:05:53This is beautiful.
00:05:54Hello.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:56Look at this Greek.
00:05:57I love them.
00:05:58Last time I wore a gown was definitely my wedding dress.
00:06:02They're a big, fat Greek wedding for sure.
00:06:04We're taking you out of your beautiful blazers.
00:06:06Out of school teacher mode.
00:06:07And we're going to put you in a gorgeous gown,
00:06:09a bit of sparkle,
00:06:10and watch you perform.
00:06:11When I go to work,
00:06:13for me, that's dressing up.
00:06:14Bit of mascara.
00:06:16Oh.
00:06:17Laser on.
00:06:18I'm ready.
00:06:19As a mum,
00:06:21it's this evolving thing
00:06:23to try to feel beautiful
00:06:25after you've had children.
00:06:26I absolutely lost my sense of identity
00:06:29because I was a mum.
00:06:30I put out all my effort into my children
00:06:32and I disappeared
00:06:33because I did that.
00:06:35Light me up.
00:06:37How do you think you'll feel in a gown?
00:06:39Honestly, like Cinderella.
00:06:41It will be the glass slipper moment.
00:06:43What do you think the hubby
00:06:44and the kids are going to feel?
00:06:46They're going to be like,
00:06:47whoa, like this is,
00:06:48who is that,
00:06:49who is that woman?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:50They will be proud, yeah.
00:06:53They've probably never seen mummy like this,
00:06:55so to show off
00:06:57what I look like
00:06:57and who I am
00:06:58will be amazing.
00:06:59It's going to be
00:07:00a transformation
00:07:01that's deeper
00:07:02than a physical transformation,
00:07:04absolutely.
00:07:05I hope they see this
00:07:06and they're like,
00:07:06shivers.
00:07:07Yeah, look at my mum.
00:07:08Like, cool.
00:07:10She's cool.
00:07:11She did great things.
00:07:16She's a mum
00:07:17and schoolteacher
00:07:18stepping up her style.
00:07:20In the classroom,
00:07:21she inspires her students.
00:07:23Tonight,
00:07:23she's inspiring us all.
00:07:25Daring to tackle
00:07:26a sea of power ballad

00:12:23The cool teacher at school
00:12:24The coolest
00:12:25That's it
00:12:26What time
00:12:28What time
00:12:28What time do your kids
00:12:29Have to go to bed?
00:12:30Normally like 6.30
00:12:31Okay so they're already
00:12:32Are they watching now?
00:12:34They're here
00:12:34Oh they're here
00:12:35Where are they?
00:12:36Hi
00:12:38Hi darling
00:12:41Now I've got to just say quickly to my son
00:12:43He's in Perth visiting his 100 year old great grandfather
00:12:46Amazing
00:12:46He's watching
00:12:47You've seen Dada
00:12:48Off to bed now
00:12:49How good
00:12:49She's great
00:12:50Bedtime now
00:12:51I like it
00:12:52Keep these kids up
00:12:53They're rock and roll kids
00:12:54Time for nanny
00:12:55I love it
00:12:56Alright well Samella has certainly set the bar high
00:12:59But will she make it into the top 12?
00:13:02We will find out from the judges at the end of tonight's show
00:13:07Give it up for Samella
00:13:09Thank you guys
00:13:13What a way to kick off the show
00:13:16It is electric in here
00:13:17How's everyone feeling?
00:13:21Alright up next
00:13:22He is the teenage busker from Manly in New South Wales
00:13:26It is Tayo
00:13:31You're like an actual proper musician at 15
00:13:36Since last week you might have noticed a couple different things that might have changed for me
00:13:43I'm now brace free
00:13:44I've turned 16
00:13:45Means that I can drive
00:13:47I think my life actually has changed quite a lot since I auditioned for Idol
00:13:51People have been recognising me especially at school
00:13:56Yo!
00:13:58My friends Richard and Lachlan are from my school
00:14:00I think they definitely have been very very supportive for me
00:14:03Where do you guys think I am right now?
00:14:04Hey
00:14:05Is that backstage?
00:14:07Yes I am backstage
00:14:08If I were at school right now I'd probably be in math class
00:14:11How was it math class without me?
00:14:13Oh my god
00:14:14It was so long
00:14:15I'm so sorry guys
00:14:16That really sucks
00:14:18I'm so sad
00:14:24And for transformation week I'm going to be singing Forget You by CeeLo Green
00:14:37How was that?
00:14:39Oh that was good but I still felt like I kind of got you know blown away a little bit
00:14:43And then I kind of ran out of breath at some point
00:14:45I need to be careful not to be swallowed by the band
00:14:48Okay
00:14:48So that's definitely something that I have to work on
00:14:50You did get swallowed by the band
00:14:52Yeah
00:14:52I just reckon you can go a little bit
00:14:55Yeah
00:14:55Okay
00:14:56Well the band is definitely pretty loud
00:14:59Which you know has kind of pushed me to you know try to sing you know with more power
00:15:04I think I might just need to focus a bit more on like to have a bit more power in
00:15:08my voice
00:15:08And still have that stability
00:15:09I think that's the hardest part
00:15:10I'm afraid that maybe on the day I might get swallowed up especially with the crowd too
00:15:16So I'm a little bit worried about that
00:15:18Because as soon as you do these these are the kind of microphones that as soon as you take it
00:15:22away
00:15:22It's like you could be anywhere you could be in the shower it's like some far away place
00:15:28My goal is to show that even if I am just the youngest guy here
00:15:33I can transform into something bigger and that I shouldn't be underestimated
00:15:42As a busker he normally performs for pocket money but tonight he's playing for a place in the top 12
00:15:48With his proud family looking on and looking very sharp this evening
00:15:52This is Taiyo
00:16:03I say I'm from and wrong town with the girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:10Yeah
00:16:11I'm sorry I cannot hold a variety
00:16:15But I don't mean I can get you there
00:16:18I guess he's an expert
00:16:20Yeah
00:16:20You're no more Atari
00:16:22But the way he'll play your game's unfair
00:16:25I'm picturing a bird
00:16:28That falls in love with you
00:16:30Yeah
00:16:30Oh

00:16:40I say you're drowning round town with the girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:47Yeah

00:17:47Yeah
00:17:49You
00:17:51Wish you the best, and I'll forget you, ha-ha.
00:18:04Well done.
00:18:06Nice work.
00:18:10Tayo, hello. Hello, buddy.
00:18:13It feels like you've doubled in age since the audition.
00:18:17Thank you so much.
00:18:18Time goes quick, but you had the pacifier when we met you.
00:18:22And did you say you can get a licence now?
00:18:25Yes, I can.
00:18:26So driving round town with the girl you love, with an L plate and your mum.
00:18:31Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:33It's not quite the vibe of CeeLo Green,
00:18:35but I think you made that youthful, energetic, young.
00:18:39It's great to see you.
00:18:41And the braces, it makes a big difference.
00:18:43Yes, finally gone.
00:18:44Finally.
00:18:44How long did you have those little babies for?
00:18:46Probably about 19 months and not too long.
00:18:49Yeah, not too long.
00:18:49But, yeah.
00:18:50Parents wouldn't pay for the Invisalign, hey?
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:53Hey.
00:18:54Good work, man.
00:18:55I thought that was...
00:18:56I was worried.
00:18:57You might not be able to pull that off, but you brought a youthful joy to it,
00:19:00and I think you did a great job.
00:19:01Thank you so much.
00:19:08Thank you so much.
00:19:08When you sat at the piano, the first thing I said to Carl was,
00:19:11this boy, because you are a professional busker, you've got so much idea of the space
00:19:17around you and what you've got to do to entertain, that in itself, my darling, is a gift.
00:19:23Thank you so much.
00:19:24You're welcome.
00:19:26The gift of making someone walk towards your open guitar case and put money into it.
00:19:31It's a gift.
00:19:31That's a big deal.
00:19:32That's a gift.
00:19:32Yeah, and you do it well.
00:19:34You do it very, very well.
00:19:35Thank you so much.
00:19:35And welcome to Adulthood No Braces.
00:19:38Yes.
00:19:38At this point in time, yeah?
00:19:40Well done.
00:19:41I went through that too, man.
00:19:43I went through, like, the full-on braces.
00:19:46You had the things on your shoulders with the whole thing.
00:19:47I had everything.
00:19:48A whole helmet, yeah.
00:19:49Yeah, yeah.
00:19:50Real Zoolander vibes you had going.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53Thanks, Kyle.
00:19:54No one Googled that.
00:19:57Tayo, you are so musically educated, and it's really incredible to watch,
00:20:04but I'm confused by you only because a lot of the time in entertainment and in music,
00:20:10you get, like, this one shot.
00:20:13Sometimes people might get two.
00:20:15And in my head, I'm like, well, is his shot now?
00:20:18You could really take over now and really go for it.
00:20:21But then I'm like, but imagine him in a few more years.
00:20:23Like, you're going to be a weapon.
00:20:25And it doesn't mean you're not now.
00:20:27It's just, in my mind, I'm like, when is this guy's shot?
00:20:32You know, because you are like a Bruno Mars.
00:20:35You're like, you could go nuclear.
00:20:37Thank you so much.
00:20:37Like, you have got so much talent.
00:20:41It's so...
00:20:44Or you could go home at the end of the show.
00:20:46It's hard to tell.
00:20:47I think what I'm trying to say is, like, no matter what,
00:20:50you deserve to be here.
00:20:52But no matter what, you are...
00:20:54For your age, man, it's scary.
00:20:57Like, you are...
00:20:58You're wild.
00:20:58I think he's been reincarnated or something.
00:21:01Like, he's done this before in a previous life.
00:21:02You're really weird today.
00:21:04Why are you being weird?
00:21:06Tayo, that was amazing.
00:21:07Well done.
00:21:08Thank you so, so much.
00:21:10Tayo!
00:21:11Tayo!
00:21:12Tayo!
00:21:13Tayo!
00:21:13Did that feel good?
00:21:15That was amazing.
00:21:16Yeah, yeah.
00:21:17I mean, you're normally busking out on the street,
00:21:20but this is a whole new level.
00:21:23This is incredible.
00:21:25Normally, busking is, like, maximum maybe 50 people.
00:21:28This is 1,500.
00:21:31And listen to them!
00:21:34Hey, hey, pass the hat around before the ad break.
00:21:38Pass the hat out.
00:21:38Go to Kyle first, I promise.
00:21:40You guys could do a little duo with what you're wearing.
00:21:43It's like you guys are...
00:21:44A little do-up situation.
00:21:46I mean, your biggest fans are here in the audience.
00:21:50Your parents and your sister, Saya.
00:21:52Fam, what did we think?
00:21:57Thumbs up!
00:21:58What did you think?
00:22:00That was awesome.
00:22:01Tayo, I'm so proud that you made it all the way to Top 21.
00:22:05So proud.
00:22:05Thank you so much.
00:22:05Merci beaucoup.
00:22:06Oh, I love it.
00:22:07Merci beaucoup.
00:22:08He's speaking in another language.
00:22:09Oh my gosh.
00:22:11Oh my gosh.
00:22:12What can't he do?
00:22:13All right.
00:22:14Well, is Tayo going to make it into the Top 12?
00:22:17Yes!
00:22:18Stay tuned to hear what the judges decide at the end of the show.
00:22:22Give it up one more time, everybody, for Tayo!
00:22:28Congratulations.
00:22:29All right.
00:22:30Later in the show, it's our singing skier from Jindabyne, Kesha, and our pop punk Prince Achille.
00:22:39But next, she's our teenage country singer from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:22:44Lily Grace is putting a country spin on one of the biggest rock hits of all time.
00:22:52That's after the break.
00:22:53Don't go anywhere.
00:23:04This is Transformation Week, where our singers are powering up every aspect of their performance
00:23:10for a sought-after spot in the Top 12.
00:23:13Up next is our horse-riding country singer from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:23:18It's Lily Grace.
00:23:21What you getting here to want you to see?
00:23:24There ain't nothing more to do.
00:23:26Drop my name, Lily Grace Graham.
00:23:30It's Top 21.
00:23:31It's Transformation Week.
00:23:34This is my favourite week to watch.
00:23:37Mmm, bit of hair and make-up today.
00:23:39This is so exciting.
00:23:41I feel like every time, it's like, they look amazing.
00:23:45So now being here, it's like, oh, what are they gonna do to me?
00:23:50I've been in Tamworth for the Country Music Festival.
00:23:54It's the country music capital.
00:23:56You know, I've been performing and just, like, learning as much as I can,
00:24:00just getting involved as much as I can.
00:24:02I'm a country music girl.
00:24:05Yeah, I mean, I love my hat.
00:24:07It really is my look, like, when I get out on a stage and I perform.
00:24:12This is it.
00:24:17This is pretty nuts.
00:24:18Hello!
00:24:20Hi!
00:24:20Hey, Grace!
00:24:21How are you?
00:24:22It's really real now, you know, like, this is like a, you know,
00:24:26a stage that any kind of huge famous person in this country
00:24:28or other countries could perform on, you know.
00:24:30It's a small crowd.
00:24:31There's 1,500 people here and everyone at home.
00:24:33So you're doing one of the most iconic rock songs ever.
00:24:38I'm gonna be singing I Can't Get No Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones.
00:24:42Literally Grace Seasoning.
00:24:43You know how it is.
00:24:54Everyone wants to connect with you.
00:24:57From the very back there.
00:24:58Yeah.
00:24:59To the people at the front here.
00:25:01The comments have been to connect and all those kinds of things.
00:25:05Eye contact is just, like, it's everything.
00:25:07I think it's important that you own that space.
00:25:11Yes.
00:25:12I'm just gonna throw a thought in there.
00:25:15Mm-hmm.
00:25:16Think about maybe losing the hat.
00:25:21I don't know how...
00:25:21Do you reckon?
00:25:23I mean, does that freak you out a little bit?
00:25:25A little bit.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:28When I'm singing, my hat can kind of do these ones with my eyes.
00:25:31And it's like it's...
00:25:32I can't, like, deeply kind of connect with people from what I'm saying
00:25:36and, like, get people to believe it.
00:25:37You know, if I'm...
00:25:38That's blocked.
00:25:39I don't want you to hide behind and I get that it's your look.
00:25:42I just...
00:25:43Just...
00:25:44Think about it.
00:25:45Think about it.
00:25:45That's all I'm saying.
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:47I'm not saying that I'm not gonna do it, but...
00:25:50I want to be in top 12 so bad
00:25:52and I want to continue this journey, but it's a little bit scary.
00:25:55But who knows?
00:25:55Who knows?
00:25:57Top 21, it's Transformation Week.
00:26:02Giddy up!
00:26:03This country girl has glammed up, ditched the hat
00:26:07and looks absolutely gorgeous.
00:26:10Putting on a bootin' scootin' spin on a Rolling Stones classic.
00:26:13This is Lily Grace.
00:26:28I can't get no satisfaction here.
00:26:36I can't get no satisfaction.
00:26:42Cause I tried, and I tried, and I tried.
00:26:46I can't get no.
00:26:51I can't get no.
00:26:55I can't get no.
00:26:55When I'm drivin' in my car, and a man comes on the radio, tellin' me more and more.
00:27:05About some useless information.
00:27:08About some useless information.
00:27:09Supposed to find my imagination.
00:27:13I can't get no.
00:27:15No.
00:27:16No, no, no.
00:27:18No, no, no.
00:27:19No, no, no.
00:27:20Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's what I say.
00:27:27I can't get no satisfaction.
00:27:32Satisfaction
00:27:34I can't get no satisfaction
00:27:40Cause I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and I tried
00:27:46I can't get no
00:27:50I can't get no
00:27:53I can't get no
00:27:56No, no, no, no
00:27:57No satisfaction
00:28:00I can't get no
00:28:01I can't get no
00:28:02Listen to me when I'm saying
00:28:04I can't get no
00:28:06I can't get no
00:28:09No, no, no
00:28:11No, no, no
00:28:24Thank you so much
00:28:26Oh my, oh my
00:28:33Well, Miss Lily Grace talk about a transformation
00:28:40Oh, wow, you're bigger than that hat
00:28:42I mean, the hat's cute and everything, but Lord have mercy, you look good
00:28:46Thank you so much, Martha
00:28:48You look really good, you know, and you look really comfortable doing it
00:28:51I'm so glad that you came from behind the microphone and showed us who you were
00:28:54Do you know what I mean?
00:28:55It's all about your performance, you know what I mean?
00:28:58You can't, you don't have to do every song
00:29:00But when it comes to a song like that, the Rolling Stones, you better represent
00:29:04Well done, honey
00:29:05Thank you so much
00:29:08That was so awesome, Lily Grace
00:29:11Thank you
00:29:12I mean, and I know a thing or two about having a look that's really hard to detach from
00:29:18The thing is, you've gotta lose something in order for people to miss it, you know what I mean?
00:29:22So I think, um
00:29:24I lost my good looks
00:29:26No, you've still got them, Kyle, don't worry
00:29:27I agree with Marsha, you just look like an absolute professional out there
00:29:32What I really loved seeing was the little package beforehand
00:29:35They played, you were still playing gigs
00:29:38You're doing Australian Idol and you're still working
00:29:40And that's like, that's the key thing to dominate this show
00:29:44Is like, we can only do so much, we can present you to the country
00:29:48They can see how great you are, but if you're not doing the extra leg work
00:29:51Like, you're shooting yourself in your foot
00:29:54And I think you're, you know this
00:29:57And I can see how seriously you take it
00:29:59I, I would be confident just sending you out into the big bad world on tour
00:30:04And making records already
00:30:06Thank you so much
00:30:06You were so ready for this lifestyle
00:30:13I, I also was nervous because I liked the hat
00:30:17And I know it's you
00:30:18And I, and then you're like, I'm a country girl
00:30:20It's like a badge
00:30:21Yeah
00:30:21Um, but it was the right choice to lose the hat
00:30:25You've still got your country vibe
00:30:27You're still doing an amazing job
00:30:29Great big vocal
00:30:31And even in this room with 1,500 people in it
00:30:33It's a big auditorium
00:30:35Make some noise, everyone
00:30:38It's, it's, it's sometimes hard in the room
00:30:42Sometimes hard sitting here
00:30:43When the crowd get, go crazy and start roaring
00:30:46I'm, I'm, I'm, it'll mix nice on TV
00:30:48But I thought it was great
00:30:50Powerful
00:30:50You're still you
00:30:52Without the hat
00:30:53And we still loved every minute of it
00:30:55Look at you, bro
00:30:55I still want to say that
00:30:56I still love the hat
00:30:57Just...
00:30:57Yeah, don't, don't lose the hat forever
00:30:59Don't lose the hat forever
00:30:59It's not gone forever, but it's transformation week
00:31:02So...
00:31:03Aw, that's good attitude
00:31:04Good attitude
00:31:05Very good
00:31:05Thank you so much
00:31:08Yee-haw, Lily Grace
00:31:11I watched you in rehearsals
00:31:13But that just took it up to a whole other level
00:31:16You are made for the stage, girlfriend
00:31:18How do you think that went?
00:31:20I couldn't, I mean, good
00:31:21This is insane
00:31:22Like, this is crazy
00:31:23I can't really get over it
00:31:25Like...
00:31:25Yeah, I could
00:31:26I'm...
00:31:26I'm just, I'm a bit starstruck by you and everyone
00:31:29And everyone here
00:31:30But it's good
00:31:30And, and ditto
00:31:31Ditto
00:31:32That was incredible
00:31:33Now, your mum is your best friend
00:31:35Which I just think is adorable
00:31:36And she goes to all of your gigs
00:31:38So, of course, she is here tonight
00:31:41Susie, what did you think of Lily Grace's transformation
00:31:45And that performance?
00:31:48Oh, I'm just gonna get my heart out of my mouth
00:31:50I'm just, like, blown away
00:31:52I'm shaking and the heart's going crazy
00:31:54But that was incredible, darling
00:31:55You know, congratulations
00:31:57It runs in the family
00:32:00Oh, beautiful
00:32:02That's all

00:33:33So much real emotion
00:33:37It's Transformation Week
00:33:39And that means for me
00:33:40Leveling up
00:33:41What do we got?
00:33:43Transforming to something different
00:33:45Spins
00:33:45That is interesting
00:33:47Cool
00:33:49Okay
00:33:50Just as long as it's subtle
00:33:53That's great
00:33:53Can we keep this for the whole show?
00:33:55Whoa
00:33:57Orange beanie man
00:33:58Tried on some different looks
00:34:00And
00:34:02It can't be the classic
00:34:05Good to see you
00:34:07How's it all feel?
00:34:08Pretty surreal
00:34:09Yeah
00:34:09Yeah
00:34:10The top 21 of Australian Idol
00:34:11It's really exciting
00:34:12But at the same time
00:34:13I feel like it's a lot of pressure
00:34:14What's your song?
00:34:16My song's got a little help from my friends
00:34:17What a great song
00:34:18It's an amazing song
00:34:19What's your connection?
00:34:20The song's very poignant to me
00:34:22Because
00:34:22I've had some really tough times
00:34:24In the last couple of years
00:34:25With my parents
00:34:26And my friends have been just
00:34:27Huge supporters through that time
00:34:29They're really there for me
00:34:30And I'm using this performance in a way
00:34:33To let them know that
00:34:35I'm so grateful for them
00:34:38My friend
00:34:46It can feel a bit aggressive and shouty
00:34:48If you stay on that one note
00:34:50I see I see
00:34:50Yeah
00:34:51It might feel like you're being joyous
00:34:52Because you feel joy inside
00:34:55But
00:34:56Your face
00:34:57Your face
00:34:57Your face
00:34:57Your face says
00:34:58Aggressive
00:34:59Yeah
00:34:59I've been told that I'm resting serious face
00:35:02And you know people are like
00:35:02You okay?
00:35:03I'm like no no no
00:35:03I'm fine
00:35:04But I just have to learn to turn that off
00:35:07I want everyone to feel the hope
00:35:09So just don't go into yourself too much
00:35:12Okay yeah yeah
00:35:12Closing your eyes
00:35:13As soon as you close your eyes
00:35:14You close people off
00:35:15This is more than just a song for me
00:35:18I need to translate
00:35:21The love and gratitude I have for my friends in this performance
00:35:23And work on bringing that joy out
00:35:26It's life changing doing this stuff man
00:35:29So it's like I gotta bust my ass to make sure I get in there
00:35:33I want to make my friends super proud of this performance
00:35:35They were there for me when nobody else was
00:35:38You know they have my back
00:35:40I don't want them to see how much I value them having my back
00:35:48Looking a million bucks and still rocking his signature beanie
00:35:52Taking on a song by the most successful band in the world
00:35:56The Beatles
00:35:57From Perth, Western Australia
00:35:59This is Jolly
00:36:14What would you do if I sang how to tune?
00:36:20Would you stand up and walk out on me?
00:36:26Let me lend me your ears
00:36:28And I'll sing you a song
00:36:30And I'll try not to sing
00:36:33At a key

00:36:54Oh I get far with my friends
00:37:01Do you need anybody?
00:37:07I just need someone to love
00:37:13I couldn't date anybody
00:37:16Always gotta be somebody
00:37:19Oh, who knows just where I'm going, yeah
00:37:22Somebody who knows just what I'll show them

00:38:43And a great message
00:38:44We all need to get by with a little help from our friends
00:38:46Yes we do, we do for sure
00:38:48This week's been tough for me, I've had a falling out with a very close friend
00:38:53And how's your dad by the way?
00:38:54My dad, he's really good
00:38:56He's rooting for me at home, he's a fighter
00:38:58I love it, I love it
00:39:00He'd be so proud, it was brilliant, Charlie
00:39:02I totally enjoyed it
00:39:03Oh, thank you so much
00:39:04Thank you very much
00:39:04Thank you
00:39:06I agree, Kyle
00:39:07That was something else, man
00:39:11Thank you
00:39:11I have had, you know, a few, well, lots of moments on this show since I've been on it
00:39:17But like, that is something I will never forget
00:39:19Just because you've got this, you've got this miracle tone that people just want to hear you sing
00:39:27Wow
00:39:28And that's what you did, and you just did it so beautifully
00:39:32Thank you
00:39:33There's no tricks with you, it's just so who you are
00:39:37Yeah
00:39:38Like, it's just so who you are, and I won't forget that
00:39:41That was really, really incredible, man
00:39:44Well, thank you so much, thank you so much
00:39:46You know, it's said in life, you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends
00:39:51Yes, ma'am
00:39:52You know, and friends get you through stuff thick or thin
00:39:55You know, they'll love you regardless
00:39:57I think there's something incredible about you, and Kyle actually said it, it's just effortless, you know
00:40:03And one of the most important things you guys are about a performer is, you're honest
00:40:10Yeah
00:40:10No frills, I don't want frills, I just want heart
00:40:14Charlie, I'm gonna give you my fast pass
00:40:29Yes
00:40:30Yes
00:40:31Yeah
00:40:31Yeah
00:40:32Yeah
00:40:33Yeah
00:40:34Yes
00:40:37Congratulations, Charlie
00:40:39Wow
00:40:41Thank you so much
00:40:42Oh wow
00:40:43I want to say some words I shouldn't say on TV
00:40:46Please don't
00:40:47Please don't
00:40:47Let me take it from here
00:40:48Charlie, you just received Marsha's fast pass
00:40:52You are automatically straight through to the top 12
00:40:57Congratulations my friend, how does that feel?
00:41:00Unbelievable
00:41:01Unbelievable
00:41:01I'm in shock
00:41:05This is crazy, this is crazy for me, you know
00:41:09I'm in my 30s, this is the last roll of the dice, it means the world to me
00:41:12Thank you so much, you know, thank you
00:41:16You deserve it Charlie, that was, when, when Marsha closes her eyes and sits back in her chair, you know
00:41:24she's really feeling something
00:41:26What would you like to say to Marsha?
00:41:28Oh, I'm just so in honour of your decision, you know, it's so wonderful to hear these comments from you
00:41:35guys, it just, it means the world to me, thank you so much
00:41:38You deserve it man
00:41:39Oh no, thank you, thank you
00:41:42Alright, well Charlie, we cannot wait to see you perform again live next week in the top 12
00:41:53Now, head on over to the lounge and celebrate with the others, Australia, officially in the top 12, it's Charlie
00:42:03Oh, how good is that?
00:42:05Okay, so far we've seen Samela, Tayo, Lily Grace and Charlie perform for the judges
00:42:11But next, it's Jamie's turn
00:42:13She is straight out of the 70s in style and sound
00:42:17And our Gold Coast girl Jamie is transforming and taking on an iconic anthem
00:42:22We cannot wait to see this one, Australian Idol is back in a moment
00:42:38It's Transformation Week on Idol and we are halfway through tonight's show with just a few singers left to perform
00:42:45And then, we find out who will make the top 12 and sing at next week's live shows
00:42:51Our next singer vying for one of those spots is someone who lives and breathes all things 70s
00:42:58From the Gold Coast, this is Jamie!
00:43:15It feels amazing to be in the Australian Idol Top 21, I'm so excited to be here
00:43:21This has always been my number one passion, to have this opportunity is awesome
00:43:26I'm really wanting to transform my vocals this week
00:43:29Okay, what song are you singing?
00:43:31I'm singing I'm Every Woman by Shaka Khan
00:43:33What a great song, yes
00:43:35She is my style icon, vocal icon, all of it
00:43:39I'm pretty sure if my information and my sources are correct
00:43:43Marsha opened for Shaka Khan in about 2008
00:43:47Oh my god
00:43:47Just a little
00:43:48No pressure
00:43:49Yeah, the pressure is on with that knowledge
00:43:53Marsha gave me some criticism on the last performance
00:43:57A lot of your vocal gymnastics didn't land
00:44:01You know, you don't have to do that
00:44:05She's scared of you
00:44:06I do
00:44:08Marsha is on my mind this whole week
00:44:11Like I just want to impress her so bad
00:44:13I'm going to take on Marsha's advice
00:44:16And not need to do all the vocal gymnastics
00:44:18I can just sing the song
00:44:24So I think it's finding that balance between like what Marsha said
00:44:28Which is not going too much
00:44:29But I think you should
00:44:30I think you can throw something in there
00:44:32She wants this crazy good
00:44:33I'm not sure if I'm playing it too safe
00:44:35Or if I need to add more
00:44:37Like everyone's telling me stuff
00:44:38And I'm like
00:44:39Yep
00:44:40Yep
00:44:40Yep
00:44:41Got it
00:44:41Got it
00:44:42Got it
00:44:42Okay
00:44:44I can add a little bit of Jamie
00:44:45Like I don't want to go to the opposite end of the scale
00:44:49If I fail to impress Marsha
00:44:50It could be the end of the road for me
00:44:52So it
00:44:52This show means a lot to me
00:44:54And I
00:44:55Praying that I go well
00:45:01She's bringing the 70s groove, grit and glamour to the idle stage
00:45:05Tonight she's dialling up the disco with an iconic hit from the legendary Shaka Khan
00:45:11Looking oh so chic
00:45:13This is Jamie
00:45:29I am every woman
00:45:32It's all in me
00:45:35Everything I want done baby
00:45:38I turn that train
00:45:43I turn that train
00:45:52I turn that train
00:45:58I would be a girl
00:46:00I am every woman
00:46:03It's all in me
00:46:06Anything you want I'm raising
00:46:09I turn that train
00:46:10Naturally
00:46:13Oh
00:46:14Oh
00:46:19I ain't trying again
00:46:22Cause I own the world
00:46:24Dispired to me
00:46:25And it shall be done
00:46:28For my life
00:46:30To compare
00:46:31Oh my God
00:46:34Oh my God
00:46:36I'm better
00:46:39I'm Yoshi
00:46:43I'm

00:46:48I'm
00:46:49Every two
00:46:52I'm

00:47:05Every one
00:47:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:25Jamie, far out.
00:47:27She means business.
00:47:29That was, that was great.
00:47:31I, I, it's hard to like watch this season because everyone is just so good.
00:47:39Like everyone has really stepped up.
00:47:42You should be really proud of that.
00:47:44That was confident.
00:47:44You look incredible.
00:47:46You know, you know, you know your genre.
00:47:50Well done.
00:47:51I don't really have anything else to say.
00:47:53Thank you so much.
00:47:53That just, that was, that was really strong.
00:47:55Thank you so much.
00:48:02Jamie, I say this to you from my heart.
00:48:05If I criticize you, it's to try and make you a better singer.
00:48:10You know, I, I don't enjoy telling another singer what to do, but I have a vague idea of how
00:48:17it's done.
00:48:18Right?
00:48:19So whatever I did say to you, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings because I didn't mean to.
00:48:23You know, and look, you know, most of the time in performance, when someone does criticize you, take what you
00:48:30can from it and learn to step up.
00:48:33Don't take it personal.
00:48:34Okay, honey.
00:48:35Yeah, for sure.
00:48:36I've just learned so much from you.
00:48:38Oh, God bless you.
00:48:38And I appreciate every single thing that you have said to me because it's just been a life changing experience.
00:48:43And I'm a better singer because of you and the judges.
00:48:46So I appreciate you so much.
00:48:48You're also so mean, Marsha.
00:48:50Oh, so mean.
00:48:52So mean.
00:48:52You look great.
00:48:54The shimmering, the vocal was great.
00:48:56The only thing I'm worried about, vocally, nothing wrong.
00:48:59You performed well.
00:49:00You used up all the stage.
00:49:02You shimmied and danced.
00:49:03Everything was good.
00:49:04But I just worry that I don't want you to slip through the cracks on a night like tonight.
00:49:10Was, I'm not saying boring is not the word, but is it forgettable?
00:49:15Because you're not forgettable.
00:49:16You've got everything that you need.
00:49:19I just don't know whether you're going to stand out from the pack tonight.
00:49:22I hope you do because you're a great artist.
00:49:25Sure.
00:49:25But we'll find out at the end of the night.
00:49:27Good luck.
00:49:31Jamie, that performance was awesome.
00:49:32And you're a whole lot of woman.
00:49:34That was awesome.
00:49:35How did that feel for you?
00:49:36Oh, it felt so amazing to sing one of my idols songs.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:39This is my song.
00:49:40I love this song to bits.
00:49:42So this has just been such a privilege to come out here and perform it on television, you know?
00:49:46So you look amazing and you look so comfortable up here on stage.
00:49:50Jamie, what would it mean to get through to the top 12?
00:49:53Oh, this would be life changing.
00:49:55Honestly, I've been singing since I was a kid.
00:49:57I would be proving this to her, you know, that she can do this.
00:50:02So honestly, it would just be life changing.
00:50:04It means so much.
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:05All right.
00:50:06Well, you put it all on the line on this stage tonight.
00:50:10But let's hope it was enough to get you into next week's live shows.
00:50:14And we're going to find out at the end of the night.
00:50:16Everybody, give it up one more time for Jamie.
00:50:22Well, it is vibing in here tonight.
00:50:24And if you want to be in here, you can get your free tickets at Australianidol.com.au.
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:30Up next, he is the pop punk rocker bidding to become the next Australian Idol.
00:50:35For Transformation Week, Achille linked up with some megastar VIPs to power up his performance.
00:50:42It's a surprise you won't see coming.
00:50:44Idol is back in a moment.
00:50:56You're watching Idol and tonight our singers are hoping to secure a spot in the top 12.
00:51:03Then, next week, we hand over the reins to you to start voting for your winner.
00:51:09Could our next singer go all the way?
00:51:11Well, Achille from Sydney chose a song by pop punk rocker's Good Charlotte and get this.
00:51:18He had the amazing opportunity to meet them for tips and tricks on levelling up for Transformation Week.
00:51:26Check it out.
00:51:26Woo!
00:51:28Turn the lights off, carry me home.
00:51:31Achille.
00:51:33Pop punk.
00:51:34My kind of guy.
00:51:37This week is Top 21 Transformation Week and I'm going to be singing Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
00:51:43by Good Charlotte.
00:51:44Yeah, and I'm actually off to meet the guys.
00:51:47They're a massive pop punk band and, like, these are people I grew up listening to and, like, the fact
00:51:51that I get this opportunity to, like, go see them.
00:51:54Oh, it's actually, it's mental to me, like, even being in the same space as them, you know?
00:51:59I'm here to get advice from them for my song, how I can perform it better and maintain my energy
00:52:04but also control the performance and make sure it's all-rounded.
00:52:07I'd love to see Good Charlotte, baby!
00:52:17They're a massive, massive band, you know?
00:52:20They're just where I want to be in life.
00:52:22Wow.
00:52:23What's up, man?
00:52:24Hey, guys.
00:52:25Can I give you guys a big hug?
00:52:26Yeah.
00:52:27Of course, yeah.
00:52:28Right now, I feel like I'm in a dream. Like, this doesn't feel real.
00:52:31Can you do a performance so that we can watch and we can sort of give you sort of our
00:52:35best, like, help?
00:52:37100%.
00:52:38Yeah, okay.
00:52:38Okay, cool.
00:52:39I genuinely care. I'm performing your song in front of you guys.
00:52:42Yeah, yeah.
00:52:42Great. Let's do it.
00:52:43It is super, super important that I get advice from these guys.
00:52:46Always see it on TV, read it in the magazine.
00:52:50Because they know the best and they're going to help me out a lot in terms of performing on Australian
00:52:54Idol.
00:52:55I think that some of these judges are sensing from you. You're staying in the chaos mode.
00:52:59Yes.
00:53:00Through the whole song.
00:53:01Last time, I did not live up to the expectations because I was doing too much.
00:53:04I think what happens is you start to lose breath. The melody gets lost. The lyrics in the story gets
00:53:11lost.
00:53:12So what I would do is I would just, I would calm down. On that verse, I would take the
00:53:17opportunity to connect with some people. And then on the chorus, that's when you hype everybody up. Do you know
00:53:23what I mean?
00:53:24Yeah, 100%.
00:53:25It's finding your moments. You don't need to hype everybody all the time.
00:53:28Obviously, like, I feel a lot of pressure in the back of my head when I'm hearing all the advice
00:53:32and everything that I can improve on.
00:53:33Because at this stage of the competition, like, there's no room for mistakes. It's all up to me now.
00:53:38You practice, practice, practice, but then...
00:53:42up, bro.
00:53:43All right, brother.
00:53:44I really appreciate it.
00:53:45We'll see you at the show tonight.
00:53:47I'm, wait, I'm actually...
00:53:49So you'll be our guest at the show tonight?
00:53:51I'm going to the show tonight as well. That's, that's nuts, like...
00:53:54We'll do the show.
00:53:56We'll make sure you have the best vantage point and maybe, maybe you learn something, maybe you learn some things
00:54:00you don't want to do. All right?
00:54:01Yeah.
00:54:02They have, like, 30 years of experience in this industry and it's, like, an incredible opportunity to learn how to
00:54:07conform well and really deliver the song.
00:54:11You know, I really want to stay in this competition because there's nothing in the world that gives me the
00:54:15same feeling as being on stage.
00:54:16So I have to balance jumping around stage and also singing at the same time.
00:54:20If I mess up for this performance, like, I'm going home and I know that, so I have to, like,
00:54:25make sure it's 100%.
00:54:31A new edge, new attitude and zero holding back.
00:54:35Tonight, he's unlocked his inner rebel to claim his spot in the top 12.
00:54:40This isn't a makeover, it's a takeover.
00:54:43From Sydney, this is Achille!
00:54:53I know, make some noise!
00:54:57Here we go!
00:55:00Oh, I see it on TV, reading in the magazine.
00:55:04Celebrities, they want sympathy.
00:55:09They do his pissing moan inside the rolling stone, talking about a hard life can be.
00:55:18I'd like to see them spend a week living life out on the street.
00:55:23I don't think they would survive.
00:55:25But they'd spend a day or two walking in someone else's shoes.
00:55:32I feel they stumble and they'd fall.
00:55:35They would fall sick.
00:55:39Life styles of the rich and the famous.
00:55:43They're always complaining.
00:55:46Always complaining.
00:55:49If money is such a problem.
00:55:53Well, make our actions think we should drop them.
00:56:00Make some noise out there!
00:56:03Make some noise out there!
00:56:05Okay, let's jump, jump, jump, jump.
00:56:07Lights styles of the rich and the famous.
00:56:11They're always complaining.
00:56:13Always complaining.
00:56:16If money is such a problem.
00:56:19Because any problem.
00:56:22Think we could solve them.
00:56:25Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
00:56:30Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
00:56:34Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
00:56:48Lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
00:56:57Achille, what you bring to Australian Idol this year is this incredible lust for life and youth.
00:57:04And it's beautiful to see, you know.
00:57:05I mean, that's what rock and roll is to me.
00:57:08You know what I mean?
00:57:09It's important that, you know, you settled eventually.
00:57:12But you were breathless from the very beginning.
00:57:16Work it out.
00:57:17Pace yourself, boyfriend.
00:57:19Okay?
00:57:20And I think it was wonderful that the guys from Good Charlotte spoke to you and gave you some pointers.
00:57:26But just take your time.
00:57:28We know you're here.
00:57:29We want to see you be the best you can be.
00:57:31Okay?
00:57:32That was great, man.
00:57:34I appreciate it.
00:57:34Thank you so much.
00:57:36Thank you, Marshall.
00:57:37You're welcome.
00:57:39Achille, I just honestly thank you because I never thought I would ever see
00:57:45pop punk on this kind of stage.
00:57:48And I'm enjoying every time I see you.
00:57:50You're just like, you love it so much.
00:57:53I can see how much you love this genre.
00:57:57I just think the passion is there.
00:57:59And I don't know what to do with you because it's such a unique thing to witness.
00:58:04But I love it.
00:58:05I don't know about you guys.
00:58:06But I just think you spinning around out there.
00:58:10The best thing about this show is, we say this all the time, but it isn't about the voice.
00:58:16It's about, do we believe that people are going to watch Achille and buy into what you're selling and be
00:58:23addicted to that energy?
00:58:24And I honestly kind of think they would because I just can't stop.
00:58:28When you start those spin arounds, I'm just like, this guy is a tornado.
00:58:32And I just, it's impressive.
00:58:35I think you need to still, like what Marsha said, and even what Benji and Joel said, the timings of
00:58:41things.
00:58:42You know, when to burst into energy and when to be still.
00:58:46I think that's still something you need to concentrate on.
00:58:48But the real stuff's there.
00:58:50The passion's there.
00:58:52And that's, you can't teach that.
00:59:00So, when Benji and Joel were first signed in the United States, the first port of call was Australia.
00:59:08And two young boys walked into my Hot 30s studio back then and they were loose.
00:59:14I mean, they had the big hair and they were wild.
00:59:17And I was like, look at these characters.
00:59:20They had a huge success with multiple bands.
00:59:24They've both done extremely well.
00:59:26But yeah, the tough bit is that you sucked up the energy, the fans, you had everyone behind you.
00:59:34But the vocal was not the strongest.
00:59:36But it doesn't have to be in that world.
00:59:39But where you probably went is I saw you trying too hard to do a good vocal.
00:59:44And I think you maybe came a little unstuck on yourself.
00:59:47You should have just gone full hectic.
00:59:49Yeah, I agree.
00:59:49And when you do all this, I'm expecting something big to happen.
00:59:52But nothing happened.
00:59:53It was like a Jesus moment.
00:59:55But there was no rising.
00:59:56There was...
00:59:57I thought about jumping into the crowd, but I don't want to kill anyone.
01:00:00So...
01:00:00Listen, if you think it'll keep you in the contest, feel free to kill someone.
01:00:05Do whatever you need to do to stay in.
01:00:07Great energy, rubbish vocal, but that doesn't mean you're not going to keep in the contest.
01:00:12Good luck.
01:00:13Thank you, thank you.
01:00:14You're welcome.
01:00:16You're such a vibe, Achille.
01:00:19I don't know if I want to see him go to the next level.
01:00:22Go to the next level.
01:00:23That's tornado, hurricane level.
01:00:25You are such a vibe, Achille.
01:00:27My goodness.
01:00:28What was it like getting mentored by Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte?
01:00:32I tried to take on the advice.
01:00:33You know, they're like some people that have been in the business for so long.
01:00:36Like, for example, looking at the crowd, connecting with them, you know, in specific moments.
01:00:40I tried to do that.
01:00:41And yeah, I just appreciate the boys for giving me advice, you know.
01:00:44Did you have fun?
01:00:45I had so much fun.
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:47All right.
01:00:47Well, the boys are so cool, aren't they?
01:00:49Their latest album is amazing.
01:00:51You've got to go check it out.
01:00:52Now, Achille, I hear that your mum, dad and brother Attila are in the audience tonight.
01:01:00And I hear it's their first time ever seeing you perform live.
01:01:02Is that right?
01:01:03It actually is.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:04My goodness.
01:01:05Attila.
01:01:06What did you think of Achille?
01:01:08So, yeah, it was our very first time watching him perform live and let alone perform on such a
01:01:13prestigious stage like Australian Idol.
01:01:15And we are just so, so extremely proud of him for finally, you know, reaching his dreams
01:01:20and chasing his dreams and shining so brightly on stage and being unapologetically himself
01:01:25while adding.
01:01:26Thank you, fam.
01:01:26However, we've never supported him before.
01:01:30Tonight's the first night we've shown support.
01:01:34Mum, what did you think of his performance?
01:01:36It was amazing, Achille.
01:01:37It was amazing.
01:01:38I love you.
01:01:40Oh, I love you too, Mum.
01:01:41All right.
01:01:42Well, Achille, fingers crossed you score yourself a spot in the top 12 tonight.
01:01:47Everyone.
01:01:48Thank you so much.
01:01:49Give it up for Achille!
01:01:55Oh, how good was that?
01:01:57Okay.
01:01:57Surely the judges will make the impossible decision on who makes it to the top 12.
01:02:02Before that, we've got our final singer of the night.
01:02:06She's the singing skier from Jindabyne in the snowy mountains.
01:02:11Tonight, Kesha is taking on a global chart topper, one of the biggest songs of the last decade.
01:02:18Australian Idol is back in a moment.
01:02:30Welcome back to Transformation Week here on Idol.
01:02:33We have got just one singer left to perform.
01:02:37She's a small town girl with mum and dad and half the ski town here tonight in the audience.
01:02:44I'm talking about our singing skier from Jindabyne.
01:02:47It is Kesha.
01:03:02We're from a little country ski bum town.
01:03:05Jindy town is so supportive in sending me gorgeous messages.
01:03:10Go Kesha!
01:03:11Do it for Jindabyne!
01:03:13Go Kesha!
01:03:14Go Kesha, sing your best.
01:03:17Yay!
01:03:18Kesha, you made the local paper.
01:03:19We're very excited to watch you in the Australian Idol.
01:03:23You!
01:03:24Hello!
01:03:27Hi!
01:03:28Hi Kesha!
01:03:29How are you?
01:03:29Oh, this means the world.
01:03:31This has just been what I wanted to do since I could walk.
01:03:35Little seven-year-old Kesha who picked up her first red guitar and sung at Jindy Idol would be over
01:03:43the moon.
01:03:43Jindy Idol.
01:03:44This section was like the stage.
01:03:46That was it?
01:03:47That was the stage?
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:48Okay.
01:03:48Talk to me about your song.
01:03:50I've got Take Me to Church.
01:03:51Josier.
01:03:52Josier, one of my favourite songs.
01:03:54Have you ever used these in ears?
01:03:57I've never used them.
01:03:58Okay.
01:03:58Don't panic yourself.
01:04:00This is a new experience having these ears.
01:04:03But it's super important because once a crowd's in here, you won't hear them if you don't have those in.
01:04:10How do I do it?
01:04:11Oh my God.
01:04:20A lot going on in my ears.
01:04:23So what are you focusing on in your ears?
01:04:26Are you listening for your pitch?
01:04:27I'm not listening for anything.
01:04:29The ears are wigging me out.
01:04:31I think I'm thinking about trying to listen to too many things.
01:04:35The ears are a bit, just a bit like hectic having to listen to 50 things at once.
01:04:41I've never really used that before.
01:04:44Don't panic yourself.
01:04:48It's too much.
01:04:51I can't cope.
01:04:57Stupid.
01:05:01There's just no room for mock-ups or mistakes.
01:05:05This is all I've ever wanted.
01:05:08I really want to make it to the top 12.
01:05:11I really want to make it to the top 12.
01:05:14She's the singing skier transforming on the idle stage.
01:05:19Usually she's conquering the slopes, but tonight she's hoping for a peak performance.
01:05:24She's bold.
01:05:25She's fearless.
01:05:26She's about to hit top speed.
01:05:28This is Kesha.
01:05:36My love has got humor.
01:05:40She's a giggle at a funeral.
01:05:42Knows everybody's disapproval.
01:05:46I should have worshipped her sooner.
01:05:49If the heavens ever did speak.
01:05:52She's the last true mouthpiece.
01:05:55Every Sunday's getting more bleak.
01:05:58A fresh poison each week.
01:06:00I was born sick.
01:06:03I was born sick.
01:06:03But I love it.
01:06:05Command me to be well.
01:06:10Amen.
01:06:11Amen.
01:06:13Amen.
01:06:16Amen.
01:06:19Amen.
01:06:19Take me to church.
01:06:21I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
01:06:25I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife.
01:06:29Offer me that deathless temple.
01:06:32Good God.
01:06:33Let me give you my life.
01:06:37If I'm a pagan of the good times.
01:06:40My love is the sunlight.
01:06:43To keep the goddess on my side.
01:06:46She demands a sacrifice.
01:06:49This looks tasty.
01:06:51This looks plenty.
01:06:52This is hungry work.
01:06:55Take me to church.
01:06:59I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
01:07:03I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife.
01:07:07Offer me that deathless temple.
01:07:10Good God.
01:07:11Let me give you my life.
01:07:13Take me to church.
01:07:15I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies.
01:07:19I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife.
01:07:22Offer me that deathless death.
01:07:26Good God.
01:07:28Let me give you my life.
01:07:43The shrine.
01:07:48Mm-hmm.
01:07:50Yes.
01:08:00Firstly, outfit, babe.
01:08:02It's...
01:08:03Killing it.
01:08:04That looks amazing.
01:08:05You're my inspiration.
01:08:06Oh, damn.
01:08:09Look, though ears, in ears can be so isolating.
01:08:14I was terrified of them for so long.
01:08:17And it's going to take you a minute to work out just the mix you want.
01:08:22And I think for the singer that you are,
01:08:25it's just always as long as you can hear your vocals all the time.
01:08:29And I'm sure you got told that by Carmen and everyone.
01:08:31But I think for someone who has not used them, you crush that.
01:08:37Like, that would have been scary.
01:08:40It was different.
01:08:41It was different.
01:08:42Yeah.
01:08:42And I think, like, considering that,
01:08:47that still, to me, looked so effortless.
01:08:50And I love that you just stood there.
01:08:51Some people get really overwhelmed when they get to this part of the competition.
01:08:55And they feel like they need to look like they've been doing it for years.
01:08:59When we...
01:08:59We know they haven't.
01:09:00So...
01:09:00But you didn't try and do that.
01:09:02You just focused.
01:09:03And you stood still.
01:09:04And you knew that you had this new problem.
01:09:07And you were just, like, wanting to focus.
01:09:09And I could see you doing that.
01:09:10And I think...
01:09:11I think it was just amazing.
01:09:13I think you should be really proud of yourself.
01:09:14Thank you so much.
01:09:15That means a lot.
01:09:20You know, Kesha, it's a new world when it comes to the in-ear thing.
01:09:24And I will drop one of the biggest names in the industry.
01:09:29And his name is Tom Jones.
01:09:31Tom Jones was the person who told me 20 years ago,
01:09:35girlfriend, you want to keep your voice?
01:09:38Learn how to use in-ears.
01:09:39And I'm so sorry that it was frustrating.
01:09:42And you've got to come here and perform.
01:09:44But you've got to learn as you go, honey.
01:09:46And I think you tore that up.
01:09:48Well done.
01:09:50Thank you so much.
01:09:55You ready for the truth?
01:09:57Do you say anything other than the truth?
01:09:59True, true.
01:10:00So ready.
01:10:01If that was your performance level
01:10:04while you're struggling to deal with that new bit of technical equipment,
01:10:09then you're killing it in life.
01:10:11Because that is freaking my favourite performance of the night.
01:10:16You look incredible.
01:10:17It's Xena Warrior Princess.
01:10:19The vocal was great.
01:10:20You put a very popular radio song in.
01:10:23You gave it a little bit of a twitch and a flick.
01:10:25But I loved it.
01:10:26I ate up every bit of it.
01:10:28You're a real contender.
01:10:29That was excellent work.
01:10:31I loved every second of it.
01:10:32Thank you so much.
01:10:36Kesha.
01:10:37Kyle loves a twitch and a flick, doesn't he?
01:10:39Oh, don't we all, darling?
01:10:43Kesha, you look amazing.
01:10:45You sounded incredible.
01:10:46How was that for you?
01:10:47Oh, my gosh.
01:10:48Performing to this amazing crowd,
01:10:50to my beautiful friends and family.
01:10:52Like, I've not had a funner time.
01:10:55This is the best thing ever.
01:10:57That was amazing.
01:10:57I'm so excited to be here.
01:10:58Kesha, I could see that your hometown of Jindabyne
01:11:02has been so supportive of you in this idol competition.
01:11:06Like, what's been happening in Jindy?
01:11:08I have never felt so much love and support in my life.
01:11:12And it's so special when you're doing something that you love
01:11:15and the people back you.
01:11:17And my community and my friends and family,
01:11:19I could not have done this without them.
01:11:21So this I do for them and with them.
01:11:23And I'm just...
01:11:26I love it.
01:11:27I love it.
01:11:28Well, it is all in the hands of the judges now.
01:11:31We will find out very soon
01:11:32if you have made it through to the top 12 live shows.
01:11:36But one more time, everybody.
01:11:37Give it up for Kesha!

01:13:22What an epic prize there for anyone kick-starting their career out of Idol.
01:13:27Oh, yeah.
01:13:28It is top 21 week and tonight,
01:13:30the first seven singers have performed for a shot
01:13:33at making it to next week's live shows.
01:13:37But already, Charlie is sitting over in the lounge
01:13:40as he was awarded a spot in the top 12
01:13:44thanks to Marsha's Fast Pass.
01:13:46So that means only three more singers can be chosen
01:13:49by the judges to make it through.
01:13:51In the break, our judges conferred
01:13:53and have come to a decision.
01:13:56Here we go.
01:13:57The moment of truth.
01:14:02All of these incredible singers have come so far,
01:14:06but there's just three spots available for the live shows.
01:14:11Amy, who is through to the top 12?
01:14:17The first person that we have decided to put through.
01:14:24The second we met this person,
01:14:26we knew we'd found someone really special.
01:14:31And like I said, there was no arguments for this one.
01:14:36It was a very clear choice from all three of us.
01:14:42And that person is...
01:14:50Samela.
01:14:57Thank you so much.
01:14:58You have made it into the top 12.
01:15:01Well done.
01:15:01How are you feeling right now?
01:15:03I'm over the moon.
01:15:03This is a dream come true.
01:15:05So thank you so much.
01:15:06Wow.
01:15:06Well done, Samela.
01:15:08We are so excited to hear you sing again next week.
01:15:11Head on over to the lounge
01:15:12and go and celebrate with Charlie.
01:15:14Yes.
01:15:15Congratulations.
01:15:18All right.
01:15:19Well, that is two singers into the top 12.
01:15:23Two spots to go.
01:15:25It's a really tough decision for the judges tonight.
01:15:28They watched carefully, took it all into account.
01:15:31But unfortunately, not everyone can go through.
01:15:35Marsha, the tough decision is on you.
01:15:39Who is the next pick from the judges?
01:15:42I mean, super tough because we did talk and, you know...
01:15:49I've got to say to all of you, thank you.
01:15:54You know, because this has been a very exciting year for Australian Idol.
01:16:00And that's because of your contributions
01:16:02and that's because of what people have been watching on television.
01:16:05You know what I'm saying?
01:16:07It's about, it's, you know, taking yourself to the next level regardless.
01:16:13You just got to go there.
01:16:14You know what I mean?
01:16:15You got to learn to push when you didn't think you could push as much as you actually have.
01:16:21Your performances have been great.
01:16:22I mean, the person that we've chosen is...
01:16:39Kesha.
01:16:44Kesha!
01:16:47Yes.
01:16:49Kesha!
01:16:50Congratulations!
01:16:51So good.
01:16:53Kesha, you've made it through to the top 12 and it's really an idol.
01:16:57How do you feel, Kesha?
01:16:58Oh, my God.
01:17:00You guys already seen me cry.
01:17:02I don't need to see it again.
01:17:03Um, oh, my gosh.
01:17:05The bottom of my heart.
01:17:07I'm so appreciative for all of you and my friends and family
01:17:11and everyone in the crowd and you guys.
01:17:12And I'm so excited for this journey and it's just begun.
01:17:16I can't wait.
01:17:17Well done.
01:17:18Yes.
01:17:18Well done, Kesha.
01:17:19Go on over and celebrate.
01:17:23All righty.
01:17:25Here we go.
01:17:27The final chance for these four amazing singers.
01:17:32They all left their heart and soul on the stage tonight,
01:17:36but did they do enough to win the judges over?
01:17:40It has been a massive journey for each and every one of them,
01:17:43but now is the moment of truth.
01:17:47Kyle, who are the judges sending through to the top 12 live shows?
01:17:54Well, the final person that we have decided to put through to the top 12,
01:18:00and this is not going to give too much away.
01:18:03Everyone up there has a different genre,
01:18:05but I feel that this genre belongs on this show,
01:18:09especially after the performance that I saw tonight.
01:18:12And you all did pretty well,
01:18:16but unfortunately one stood out more than the others of these four.
01:18:22And that final person that we're putting through to the Australian Idol top 12 is...
01:18:35Ding-Dang, it's Lily Grace, everyone.
01:18:38You've got it.
01:18:42Lily Grace.
01:18:43Lily Grace.
01:18:45Congratulations.
01:18:46So good.
01:18:46You did it.
01:18:48You all right?
01:18:50I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
01:18:52I can't believe it, actually.
01:18:53Thank you guys so much.
01:18:55I don't actually have words.
01:18:57Well, did you ever expect, you know, as a little girl,
01:19:00did you ever expect that you would be in the top 12 of Australian Idol?
01:19:04Not at all.
01:19:05I mean, tonight, like, I've been sitting here, you know,
01:19:07when I knew who I was singing with,
01:19:09this group has just been, like, out of this world.
01:19:12And I feel so sorry for you guys having to choose,
01:19:14but, like, so grateful that you've put, you know, your trust in me,
01:19:17and I really, really appreciate that.
01:19:19And thank you to everyone that came to watch me tonight.
01:19:21Right.
01:19:22The massive achievement, Lily Grace.
01:19:24Congratulations.
01:19:24We are looking forward to seeing you next week.
01:19:26Go on over there to the lounge.
01:19:28Congratulations.
01:19:32Unfortunately, though, this means for Achille, Jamie, and Tayo,
01:19:38your time on Australian Idol ends right here.
01:19:40I'm so sad to see the three of you go.
01:19:43Achille.
01:19:48What's the Australian Idol experience been like for you?
01:19:51Hey, look, I stepped out of my comfort zone, you know,
01:19:55I came into this show, like, doing my own thing,
01:19:57doing my pop-punk thing, and I'm just glad I got this far,
01:20:00like, I got this opportunity.
01:20:01I'm going to keep doing my thing, and you guys know it.
01:20:04Yeah, that's Achille.
01:20:06Well done.
01:20:06Jamie, it's so great to see you on stage tonight.
01:20:09How are you feeling?
01:20:10Oh, I'm feeling just so privileged that I was able to come up here
01:20:14and perform my passion, you know.
01:20:17I want to do this for the rest of my life,
01:20:18and, again, I don't think it will be the end of seeing us.
01:20:22So, yeah, it's just been amazing.
01:20:23It's only the beginning.
01:20:24It's only the beginning.
01:20:26And Tayo, our little star over here,
01:20:29you rocked it on stage tonight.
01:20:31Any standout moments for you?
01:20:33Honestly, I think meeting everyone throughout Australian Idol
01:20:37has been probably the best part.
01:20:38I've met a lot of really great people, and, yeah,
01:20:41I hope you guys see me in the future, too.
01:20:42And thank you all so much.
01:20:44Yeah, 100%.
01:20:45Just the beginning for you.
01:20:46Just the beginning.
01:20:47Well, it has been so good to meet all of you
01:20:50and hear you sing.
01:20:52It's been a privilege for us to see that,
01:20:54and I'm sure this is not the last we'll hear from you.
01:20:56This is only the beginning for all of you.
01:20:58Give it up one last time for Achille, Jamie, and Tayo.
01:21:06Well done, Tayo.
