00:05For 24 hours, you voted and your verdict is revealed tonight.
00:10But before that, turn it up for your Top 8!
00:27I was a ghost, I was alone.
00:31You was here, I'll get so gay.
00:35Given the throne, I didn't know to believe I was the queen now I'm meant to be.
00:43I've lived too large, one playful time.
00:47But I couldn't find my own place.
00:50I'm a problem, child, cause I got you out.
00:55But that's just how I'm here to be.
00:58I'll be hiding, shining like I'm born to be.
01:05We're dreaming hard, we came so far now I believe.
01:13We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
01:17You know together we're going.
01:19We're gonna be, gonna be going.
01:28We're waiting so long to break these walls down.
01:33To wake up and feel like me.
01:36With these patterns all in the past now.
01:41And finally live like the girl I'm meant to be.
01:45No more shining, I'll be shining like I'm born to be.
01:53Cause we are heartless, boys.
01:56Cause I don't get high, no I believe.
02:00We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
02:04You know together we're going.
02:06We're gonna be, gonna be golden.

38:18So good to see you back on this stage
38:19Good to be back
38:20For old time's sake
38:21Should we get some comments from the judges?
38:23Yes
38:24Should we have to?
38:25Judges, what did you think of Dylan's performance?
38:27How good is it having him back here?
38:29We were actually saying
38:30It must be so surreal for you, you know?
38:33I mean, it's been a while
38:35But it sort of, it all floods back like, whoa
38:38The PTSD, it comes back straight away
38:40Oh, it's good, it's good
38:43Well, Dylan, you've been working so hard
38:45Like, we see each other all the time at airports
38:47And I love seeing you in the Daily Grind
38:50And just touring
38:51That song is fantastic
38:52Like, we couldn't be prouder of you, man
38:54Well done for everything you've done
38:56Thank you very much
38:57Thank you very much
38:59Are you and Amy, are you and Amy gate dwellers at the airport
39:02Or are you like the Virgin Lounge type of
39:04We don't say, you know, we're everyone, you know
39:07I'm a gate dweller
39:09Are you really? That's surprising
39:10I love the little muffin at the cafe
39:12I'm not interested in those free biscuits and cheese
39:14Oh, you don't, oh, so you don't do the Lounge
39:15It's rubbish, the Lounge
39:16Oh no, because he's at the private terminal
39:17Of course
39:18Not anymore, I'm not
39:22I'm lined up on Jetstar
39:23It takes his McDonald's in, yeah
39:25I love it
39:26Dylan, your life changed forever
39:28When you won Australian Idol
39:30Number one album
39:31You've performed in Nashville
39:32You've won a golden guitar with your band Sons of Atticus
39:35The list goes on
39:37Yes
39:38What's been the highlight for you, would you say?
39:41Oh, it's been two years now
39:43So it's been a huge whirlwind
39:45And I've just been writing and recording so much
39:48I've got three different projects
39:50One's an electronic one called Breathe
39:51One's Sons of Atticus
39:52One's me
39:53So, just all of it
39:56Just being on this show
39:57And being able to get onto the road
39:59And see as many people as possible
40:00That's been a huge highlight for me
40:02You're on the hustle
40:03You're on the grind
40:03I love it
40:04Non-stop
40:05It's the way to go
40:06Dylan, you are heading out on tour again this May
40:09And Lily Grace from this year's Top 12
40:12Will be joining you for some of the dates
40:14How cool is that?
40:15Yeah, a Northern Rivers local
40:17Yes
40:17So we had to have her on board
40:18I've watched Lily Grace over the past few years
40:21Go to Tamworth and everything
40:22So I'm so excited to kind of have her around our hometown
40:26Up in the Northern Rivers
40:27Love it
40:27Can't wait to see you live
40:28Got to get out there
40:29Get out there, Australia
40:30Grab your tickets and get behind Dylan Wright
40:32His new album is out in July
40:34But you can pre-order it right now
40:37And we look forward to last year's Idol winner Marshall Hamburger hitting the stage next week too
40:43But for now, give it up for Dylan Wright
40:51All right, business time
40:53Straight after the break
40:54It is the moment of truth
40:56We will reveal which two are safe
40:58And which two will be eliminated from the competition
41:01They are waiting backstage
41:03Ready to find out
41:04So don't go anywhere
41:05Where Australian Idol is back right after this
41:18It's Australian Idol and we are 100% live
41:22For 24 hours, your votes came pouring in as you fought to save your favourite idol from elimination
41:29Earlier tonight, we revealed who you voted as safe and into the top six
41:34We also revealed who you voted in the bottom four
41:36And they sang again to show us why they shouldn't be in this spot next week
41:41If they survive tonight's elimination
41:44Judges, what would you say to the viewers at home
41:46Disappointed to see their favourite on the chopping block tonight?
41:50Well, it's hard because everyone loves someone for something, you know, and that's quite a unique personal thing
41:57That's so true, but all I continue to say is please, you know, if you really dig somebody
42:01You've got to vote and vote hard and get your family to vote for them, you know
42:04Yes
42:05However you get those votes, get those votes
42:08Hustle
42:09All right, Australia
42:10It is time to reveal your verdict
42:13Who is safe and who is in the bottom two and going home tonight?
42:20Hit the lights
42:21Let's do this
42:24In no particular order
42:26Based on the nationwide vote
42:29Australia, you had 24 hours to have your say
42:33You voted and you decided
42:36Four incredible singers are standing up here
42:40But only two spots remain in the top six
42:44The first idol's safe
42:47And through to next week
42:50Is
42:51Kesha!
42:55Kesha!
42:59Kesha!
43:01Kesha!

43:22Congratulations, Kesha.
43:24You're safe for another week.
43:26How do you feel?
43:27Kyle just...

43:29Yeah.
43:30Yeah.
43:30Yeah.
43:34That's my girl.
43:37Hey, nice.
43:38Well done.
43:39Thank the Lord.
43:40Although you're all great, but I did say she's my favourite, so cat's out of the bag.
43:45Kesha, why don't you talk for a second?
43:48Oh, I don't have any words that can describe the feeling that I feel.
43:53Kyle, over to you.
43:54No.
43:55No, thank you.
43:56Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, I had a tough week with that song and I was, yeah,
44:02it was rough to kind of get through it and do my best and be positive about myself and
44:08about my performance and just trying not to, you know, make it a bad thing that you've
44:15got to challenge yourself.
44:16So I'm happy I challenged myself.
44:17Thank you so much, guys.
44:19I am so excited to show you what I've got.
44:21Kesha, well done.
44:23You can join the others in the lounge now.
44:25Congrats, beautiful.
44:26Take a sigh of relief.
44:28All right.
44:31One spot left in the top six.
44:34You really can feel how important this moment is right now for everyone up on this stage.
44:40Sadly, though, two of them are about to leave the competition for good.
44:45Congrats to all of you.

45:49Um, yeah.

45:56and I can't thank yous enough.

46:13Get down there to the lounge.
46:15Well done.
46:17Sadly though,
46:19it does mean we say goodbye to Samela and Charlie.
46:24My goodness.
46:25Samela, is there anything you'd like to say?
46:28Yeah, I'm gonna try not to cry, hey?
46:30Um, thank you so much for all the support, all the love back home.
46:34My family, my friends.
46:35All the mums that like stopped dreaming.
46:39Dream, hey?
46:44Beautiful words, Samela.
46:45Charlie, it's been a pleasure to watch you.
46:47Any words from you?
46:49You know, I'm just so thankful to be a part of this journey.
46:52There's so much amazing work that goes on behind the scene,
46:55from the band to costume.
46:57You know, and I just feel so grateful to be here.
46:59I'd like to thank the hair department, they've done so much for me.
47:02Um, thank you so much to all my friends and family
47:04and my partner who's come to support me.
47:06You know, this has been a mean, a world to me.
47:09I've been dreaming of this since 2003 when Guy Sebastian won.
47:12So, thank you, thank you so much.
47:13Good stuff.
47:14Hey, judges.
47:15Any final words of wisdom?
47:17Oh, Samela, you melted my heart then.
47:21The kids are lucky to have you back, but the dream's not over.
47:24You've still, you've made this platform.
47:26Take advantage of it, honey.
47:27Well done, Charlie.
47:28We're gonna miss you, bro.
47:30Yes, we are, Charles.
47:31See, you should've kept the orange beanie.
47:33I have no way.
47:36A lot of love.
47:38There's a lot of cuddling and touching.
47:39You know, Amy doesn't really touch people, so that's really big.
47:43Yeah.
47:44Yes.
47:44No, there's a lot of love.
47:46There's a lot of love.
47:47We love you guys.
47:48Thank you so much for your contribution during this.
47:50It's been an amazing idol.
47:52And girlfriend, I'm a mother.
47:54You keep dreaming.
47:55Keep going.
47:56I will.
47:57I will.
47:58It's just the start.
48:00Samela, I'll never forget meeting you at auditions
48:03and you saying that you had put music to the side to be a mum
48:07and that this was your chance to do the thing that you had always wanted to do
48:11and you did it.
48:12Yeah.
48:12You really did it.
48:13And you showed your babies to follow their dreams
48:16and you did an incredible job and you should be so proud of yourself.
48:19Thanks so much.
48:20And Charlie, since the second I met you at auditions, my gosh, I could tell that you were a true
48:26musician
48:28and then I heard you sing through the little creak in the door and your heart was on display
48:32and it has been every step of the way in every note that you sing.
48:35So thank you so much for joining us and putting so many amazing performances here on this stage.
48:41Of course.
48:41Thank you guys.
48:42Thank you so much as well.
48:43We love you.
48:44We have loved having both of you on Idol.
48:47Australia, hit up Samela and Charlie on socials and please get behind them.
48:53Give it up one more time for Samela and Charlie.
48:59Well done, brother.
49:04Samela.
49:07Awesome stuff.
49:08Alrighty.
49:10Okay.
49:10Well, that is a wrap on another live verdict show and just like that the top eight has become
49:16the top six.
49:18Australia, here is your top six.
49:23Next week, this one will perform for your votes as we celebrate heroes and tributes.
49:30Your Idol finalists will be dedicating their song to someone or somewhere special in their life.
49:36I cannot wait for that.
49:38The grand finale is just two weeks away.
49:41I couldn't be more excited if I tried.
49:43A big thank you to our superstar judges, Kyle Sanderlands.
49:47Goodnight.
