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.

00:01:13Kyle Sandler!

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.
00:08:58Just like a prayer.
00:09:01You are the director.
00:09:14Oh, thank you, girls.
00:09:20Wow!
00:09:23Oh, my God!
00:09:31I-I know you-I know Marsha's supposed to be speaking first.
00:09:34I know Marsha's supposed to be, but that was a great start to the show.
00:09:39Yeah.
00:09:40Great.
00:09:42And-and-and doing a Madonna song, everyone knows that,
00:09:46so I was like, oh, everyone's gonna compare,
00:09:48and you smashed it, babe.
00:09:50You smashed it.
00:09:53Thank you so much.
00:09:54What about-what about when she-what about when she just flicked the hand
00:09:57because she knew she had that note coming from her sleeve out?
00:10:00It's like we've just, like, been to the Kesha show
00:10:02and now we're just dissecting it.
00:10:03It was-it truly was top-top level.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:06I loved it.
00:10:06Kesha, you know, I-I-me, myself, Bing, and Amy,
00:10:11I-we love strong women.
00:10:12And that's how you present.
00:10:14You-you know, it's 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.
00:10:24Thank you so much.
00:10:28Um,
00:10:30Kesha,
00:10:31like,
00:10:32just,
00:10:33no notes, really.
00:10:35Carry on,
00:10:35as you were.
00:10:36That was-that was fantastic.
00:10:38Yay!
00:10:38Yay!
00:10:42So good.
00:10:43Kesha,
00:10:44you've cast a spell over the judges.
00:10:46I'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,
00:10:52because, like, usually 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-
00:11:01It shows this isn't Timu.
00:11:02I'll give it a go.
00:11:03This 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.
00:11:09I loved it.
00:11:10Kesha, that-that was an incredible performance.
00:11:13I mean, it's a dumb question,
00:11:15but 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.
00:11:25I'm like-
00:11:29Yeah, 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,
00:11:39um, it's, you know-
00:11:40You're gonna be better finishing at the-
00:11:41Finishing at the clap.
00:11:42Oh my gosh.
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44It's amazing.
00:11:45I 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.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:49And my God, you just knocked it out of the park.
00:11:52Australia is voting tonight.

00:12:13you guys in the crowd,

00:13:59I'm singing Pretty Woman from Pretty Woman.
00:14:02Yes.
00:14:03By Roy Orbison.
00:14:04Tell me about how you connect to the song.
00:14:06Just...
00:14:07Pretty Woman.
00:14:10Walking on by.
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12This...
00:14:12Oh, this is so embarrassing.
00:14:14I'm just thinking...
00:14:16Not that anyone should know this, but I'm thinking about my crush.
00:14:20I'm gonna start getting red.
00:14:22Oh, that was so embarrassing.
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.
00:14:41Shit.
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.
00:14:58If I don't get it right this week, I'll be going home.
00:15:03Yeah.
00:15:05Yeah.
00:15:09Yeah.
00:15:10Yeah.
00:15:12Yeah.

00:15:16Pretty Woman.
00:15:17Walking down the street.
00:15:19Pretty Woman.
00:15:20The kind I like to meet.
00:15:22Pretty Woman.
00:15:24I don't believe you.
00:15:27You're not the truth.
00:15:28No one can look at how good is you.
00:15:34Oh.
00:15:38Pretty Woman.
00:15:40Stop a while.
00:15:42Pretty Woman.
00:15:43Talk a while.
00:15:45Pretty Woman.
00:15:47Give your smile to me.
00:15:52Pretty Woman.
00:15:53Yeah.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:55Pretty Woman.
00:15:59Yeah.
00:16:00Pretty Woman.
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:02Yeah.
00:16:02You can say, too.
00:16:05Did you replace me?
00:16:09In the way?
00:16:10tonight
00:16:16Pretty woman, don't walk on by
00:16:20Pretty woman, don't make me cry
00:16:24Pretty woman, don't walk away
00:16:31It's not the way it must be okay
00:16:36But wait, what do I see?
00:16:43Is she walking back to me?
00:16:49Yeah, she's walking back to me
00:16:55Oh, pretty woman
00:17:20Jukebox Johnny
00:17:22Bro, you've done it again
00:17:24You've made another grandma song
00:17:27An absolute classic for the young, the middle, the old
00:17:31The good thing about you is that everyone knows that song
00:17:34And I mean from our nana's age
00:17:36Nana was getting frisky with grandpa during that
00:17:40And it was like
00:17:41Whoa, pretty woman
00:17:42This 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, you'll know
00:17:51That is exactly what you need to do
00:17:54You're a joy to watch
00:17:56You bring every old song
00:17:57You make it modern
00:17:58You make it youthful

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

00:19:23I think it went well

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
00:19:44It'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 that you were singing that for a crush
00:19:52Do you want to um
00:19:54I don't know
00:19:55Maybe spill
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's to you?

00:26:48Like that was just incredible
00:26:53I don't know how you compose yourself
00:26:57Thank you
00:26:57You could have heard a pin drop then
00:26:59You had everyone in the palm of your hand
00:27:01It's not like you've been doing this your whole life
00:27:03This is like the early stages of your career
00:27:06That, I mean, well done
00:27:08I don't know what else to say
00:27:10Thank you
00:27:10Thank you
00:27:18Firstly, I'll just apologise to you Harlan for not standing up
00:27:21I can't stand up
00:27:22I can't stand up because like you've got me pinned
00:27:25Thank you
00:27:27In fascination with your voice
00:27:29That is an incredible instrument
00:27:31And it's all about placement
00:27:33And it's all about your choices
00:27:35And your choices are so clever
00:27:37And yes, you might be
00:27:39The black sheep of your family
00:27:42But you are truly the musician in that family
00:27:45You are something else, man
00:27:48Thank you
00:27:50You really, I mean you really are something else
00:27:53And you've stayed true all the while

00:28:00Thank you
00:28:00You're welcome
00:28:07Harlan, great voice
00:28:09You're a wonderful performer
00:28:11Every time we see you
00:28:12We'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
00:28:25But you did a great job

00:28:34Thank you
00:28:34Thank you guys
00:28:44My goodness
00:28:45You know what my favourite thing is
00:28:47Is when Marsha is watching someone
00:28:50And she thinks they're so amazing
00:28:51She almost looks like she's angry with you
00:28:54I can never tell, I'm so scared
00:28:56She looks furious at you during that
00:28:58That was insane
00:28:59Thank you
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:01Um
00:29:02A couple of sound checks
00:29:03I'm like I get to one point
00:29:04I'm like oh my god
00:29:05I'm nearly fainting
00:29:06Because it's like a lot physically
00:29:08Yeah
00:29:08But yeah it felt good
00:29:09I'm so grateful to be here

00:29:22Who literally flew home hours after your catch up
00:29:25And then hit the Oscars stage
00:29:26What was that like meeting him?
00:29:29Um
00:29:30I didn't really know what to expect someone at his level
00:29:33Like he sang with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson
00:29:36Like nearly everyone
00:29:37But he was probably one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life
00:29:41He was such a beautiful, beautiful man
00:29:43Um
00:29:44And the biggest like note I got from him
00:29:48Was to just lead with kindness and be kind
00:29:50And tune everything else out
00:29:52Really, really, really beautiful
00:29:53Amazing
00:29:54Well Josh's new album Cinematic is out on May 8th

00:31:39Hi, Mama
00:31:41Hello, beautiful baby
00:31:44Mama, I was calling you because for Movie Week
00:31:47The 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
00:31:57So I sound like a mecha nerd
00:31:59No one's reading yet
00:32:04Yeah, we're first getting to Australia, yeah
00:32:07So I'm singing holding out for a hero
00:32:09And I was calling you to let you know that you're my hero
00:32:13And the song is for you
00:32:16Oh, Mom, don't cry
00:32:17Oh, Mom
00:32:21My connection to the song is like
00:32:22Not only is it about Shrek and like him being a hero for Fiona
00:32:27For me, my mom is my hero
00:32:30My dad passed away when I was eight
00:32:32So my mom was literally my mom and dad
00:32:37Like she's my idol
00:32:38I am where I am
00:32:40Because of my mom
00:32:42Oh, my kid, let me cry
00:32:43I got makeup on
00:32:46I need a hero
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero
00:32:50To the end of the night
00:32:52I know your mom was very emotional about your top 21 performance
00:32:58And 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 gonna go this week seeing her again?
00:33:11Last week I got so emotional
00:33:12To see how proud she was
00:33:13This week I really don't want to break down in tears
00:33:16And 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 gonna be a full circle moment
00:33:26Like the stakes are higher
00:33:35Where have all the good men gone
00:33:37And where are all the gods
00:33:41Where's the streetwise Hercules
00:33:44To 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
00:34:01I 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
00:34:11And he's gotta be large and alive
00:34:14I need a hero
00:34:16I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
00:34:20To the morning light
00:34:21He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be soon
00:34:24And he's gotta be larger than life
00:34:27Larger than life

00:34:33Hold up, yeah
00:34:34Hold it now, yeah, hold it now, yeah
00:34:36Hero is the end of the night-night
00:34:37Strong fast, he can lodge in the lifeline
00:34:39If I call, do you think he will buy back?
00:34:41See the mountains in the heavens above
00:34:42I feel 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
00:34:54I need a hero
00:34:56I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
00:35:01He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
00:35:04And he's gotta be fresh from his life
00:35:07I need a hero
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
00:35:13He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
00:35:16And he's gotta be larger than life
00:35:19I need a hero
00:35:49And the only way
00:35:50He's gotta be older
00:35:51Your mom is your hero, but I think you are your mother's hero
00:36:02You walk on the stage you own it you know and you know you got so much attitude
00:36:08I love it, you know, and and that's what the show business is about

00:40:11But please give it up one more time for one
00:40:20Remember you've got just 10 votes use them all on one idol or spread the love across all of your
00:40:27favorites tonight
00:40:29Okay up next is our young dad trey taking on wait for it let it go from frozen
00:40:38This bloke is singing a disney princess song but let me tell you it's not what you'll expect stick around
00:40:47you can't miss this
00:40:58Welcome back tonight hollywood hits meets the idol stage as the top 12 perform for your votes
00:41:05Next to sing is melbourne dad trey who does everything for his daughters especially the song he's chosen this week
00:41:21What is it do this
00:41:22Good job today is bring daughter to work day
00:41:31Hello popcorn. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much
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
00:42:11You sound like an angel
00:42:14it. I don't even think I've ever heard an R&B spin on Let It Go before so it's gonna
00:42:21be new.
00:42:22It's slightly risky doing an R&B version of this song. It's a challenge because it's always a risk
00:42:29to switch up such a classic song, especially when it's a Disney ballad, pop song. You just don't
00:42:37want to take it too far away from how people remember it. And also Miss Salas. And also the
00:42:43fact, yeah, hopefully Silas loves it. I want to make my daughters proud of this performance
00:42:48because they love it and that's ultimately why I'm doing it, is for them. Yeah, I'm definitely
00:42:53more worried about this little girl's judgement than the three judges on the day, to be honest,
00:42:59because she'll be brutal. Oh, you 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. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how she feels
00:43:12about it. Is that a thumbs up? Yes.
00:43:18Oh, wow.
00:43:25Let it go, let it go. I can't hold it back anymore.
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight.
00:43:37Not a footprint to be seen.
00:43:40To be seen.
00:43:41A kingdom of isolation.
00:43:45And it looks like I'm the king.
00:43:47Oh, the wind is silent like the swirling storm inside.
00:43:57I couldn't keep it in. Heaven knows I've tried.
00:44:03Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. I can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:11Let it go. Let it go.
00:44:14Let it go.
00:44:15Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:44:17Cause the cold never bothered me.
00:44:20It's time to see what I can do.
00:44:24To test the limits and break through.
00:44:27No right, no wrong.
00:44:29No rules for me.
00:44:32I'm free.
00:44:34Let it go.
00:44:36Let it go.
00:44:37I can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:42Let it go.
00:44:43Let it go.
00:44:45Turn away and slam the door.
00:44:49I don't care what they're gonna say.
00:44:53Let the storm rage on.
00:44:56Baby, baby, let it go.
00:44:59Let it go.
00:45:00Let it go.
00:45:02Let it go.
00:45:04Let it go.
00:45:06Let it go.
00:45:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:45:12Cause the cold never bothered me anyway.
00:45:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:33Oh, Trey.
00:45:36Look, I mean, the only way to win this thing is to get the country to vote for you.
00:45:43And the only way the country votes for you is if they believe in you.
00:45:48And if you're a likable person, you are so believable.
00:45:52You're so likable.
00:45:53You're such a good guy, but you are also a genius.
00:45:56That was so good.
00:45:59That's gonna stream off its head.
00:46:07It would be almost impossible for most moms and dads, godparents, grandparents, not to
00:46:14know that song, honey.
00:46:15Because when it was all happening, I heard it so many times I could kill somebody.
00:46:21You know what I mean?
00:46:22But your rendition of that was just so beautiful, Trey, you know, and yeah, there's nothing much
00:46:29I can say except I think that was a very, very clever choice on your part.
00:46:32Thank you so much, Marcia.
00:46:34I appreciate it.
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song.
00:46:40Trey, of course, I don't.
00:46:43That's another cartoon rubbish movie that I haven't watched, being a grown man.
00:46:48Obviously, the song's rubbish as well, but your version of it, you made it all chocolate
00:46:54and beautiful and ooh, with a nougari, caramelly, ooh, I was eating that up.
00:47:02And that, mate, you're up there with the greatest.
00:47:05Like, you make every song you sing, like, the forbidden, ooh, ooh, I've gone home without
00:47:11me shoes again.
00:47:12You know the time.
00:47:14You're that bloke.
00:47:15That was very clever, as Amy said.
00:47:18All the kids love that.
00:47:19Every stupid little girl with the head, they 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.
00:47:31Hi, Ricky.
00:47:32The guy that's seen nothing has all the opinions on the things he's never seen.
00:47:36I love it.
00:47:37I've never seen any of these rubbish things and I loved every song so far.
00:47:41I love it.
00:47:42Trey, that was a girl, dad, power move if I ever saw one.
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 to put a twist on this song.
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous because it is such a big song.
00:47:59You know, it's known in probably the majority of every household and every kid loves that song.
00:48:04So yeah, it was scary, but I felt good with the performance and I'm happy the judges felt the same
00:48:09way.
00:48:38Yeah, we did.
00:48:39My performance is she just wanted to see John at the moment.
00:48:42She saw John and then she went home.
00:48:44She looked really comfy.
00:48:45I love that.
00:48:46You can't.
00:48:47The kids, they're so honest.
00:48:48What do you do?
00:48:49She looked really comfy in this chair.
00:48:51I'm a bit worried.
00:48:51She really did.
00:48:52Watch out.
00:48:53Yeah, next year.
00:48:53Watch out.
00:48:54Yeah, she'll be there next year.
00:48:55She's coming for your job.
00:48:56Trey, it's up to the public now to keep you in the competition.
00:49:00Tell Australia why they should vote for you.
00:49:02Well, I've been working on my craft for a very long time now.
00:49:06And, you know, the main reason I just want Australia to, you know, witness growth.
00:49:10I still have a lot to learn and I breathe music.
00:49:13So, it's forever my goal to, you know, become the greatest version of myself.
00:49:17I can be musically and as a human.
00:49:21So, that's why I think about Australia.
00:49:24Yeah.
00:49:24Marsh has lost it.
00:49:27Well, another heartfelt performance from Trey.
00:49:30And if you think he should stay in the competition, vote for him right now.
00:49:35Text Trey to the number on the screen.
00:49:39Let's hear it one more time for Trey.
00:49:41Thank you so much.
00:49:42Thank you, Ricky.
00:49:42Killed it.
00:49:46Up next, our model from Melbourne.
00:49:48Sophie will bring us glamour, glitter and a whole lot of sparkle
00:49:53when she hits the idle runway with an iconic hit from a Hollywood legend.
00:49:58Plus, our judges decide who they'll save from the public vote.
00:50:02How's that for a cliffhanger?
00:50:04Australian Idol will be back in just a moment.
00:50:16Welcome back to Movie Week on Idol.
00:50:19The final singer of the night is our model, Sophie.
00:50:22And I'm here with her mum, Kim, who's cheering her on tonight.
00:50:25Now, Kim, when did you realise little Sophie was going to be a big star?
00:50:30From a very young age.
00:50:31She's always been a performer.
00:50:33She's grown up in a very busy house and she's kept us entertained for years.
00:50:39And now I heard that you were the one that convinced her to audition for Idol.
00:50:43You must be glad you did that.
00:50:44Oh, absolutely.
00:50:45Yeah?
00:50:46Yes, absolutely.
00:50:47Look at her.
00:50:48She's a star.
00:50:49She's sparkling tonight.
00:50:51Well, we are so glad that you did that.
00:50:53All right.
00:50:53Well, let's see how Sophie, our model from Melbourne, prepared for her performance this week.
00:50:58There's something in the world, your mum, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:18One of my favourite songs in the movie, Gentleman Before Blondes.
00:51:21Yes.
00:51:21Um, iconic, just iconic.
00:51:23In top 21, Kyle was particularly impressed.
00:51:27Yes.
00:51:28That was the best stage work I've pretty much ever seen on this show.
00:51:32If you're wondering what do they mean by the whole package, that's what I mean.
00:51:36The whole package.
00:51:37Kyle was saying that I had the best stage work.
00:51:39That was such a green light to just let's even do it even more.
00:51:44Thank you so much.
00:51:45You made it.
00:51:46I made it.
00:51:48Just to elevate your performance, how do you feel about two male dancers?
00:51:54Really?
00:51:55Yes.
00:51:56Actually?
00:51:56Actually.
00:51:57Oh, my God.
00:51:58That is like my dream.
00:51:59Yeah?
00:51:59That's literally my dream.
00:52:01We're going to have to really step up.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:03Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:04There is going to be a bit more on my plate for this performance.
00:52:09Uh, you've just gone here.
00:52:10Full.
00:52:13Tying everything in and making it still sound amazing because at the end of the day, this is a singing
00:52:19show.
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21Then from here, you're going to run left, right, left.
00:52:23Oh, left, right, left.
00:52:24Left, right.
00:52:24So much dancing can really get in the way of your vocal work and the breath control
00:52:29and your delivery.
00:52:31It is a risk to add all your movement, but taking risks lead to better results.
00:52:37So let's just go from the high note just before the dance break.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:41Yeah.
00:52:41So we've got.
00:52:43Diamonds.
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure is definitely on for this performance.
00:52:48I've got a lot to prove to Australia and myself.
00:52:52If I could complete that full package and make the top 10, it would just be truly a dream come
00:53:00true.
00:53:15Diamonds are your girl's best friend.
00:53:24A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:53:33A kiss may be grand, but I won't pay the rental on your humble flat or help you at the
00:53:41auto max.
00:53:42Because men grow cold and girls grow old and we all lose our charms in the end.
00:53:49A square cut or pear shapes, these rocks don't lose their shape.
00:53:54Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:53:59Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:09Tiffany.
00:54:13Cartier.
00:54:16Talk to me, Australia.
00:54:19Tell me all about it.
00:54:22As time grows on and youth is gone and you can't straighten up when you bend.
00:54:31But step back or step knees, you'll stare straight at Tiffany's diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:44I don't know.
00:54:45I don't know.
00:54:49I don't know.
00:54:52It's been a break.
00:54:53But I've seen a break.
00:54:54I don't know.
00:54:58I don't know.
00:55:06You were gonna have to break the road.
00:55:07It's been a break before.
00:55:10The next film was already.
00:55:12Mariah from the Youngest Now.
00:55:15Look 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 because 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, Val.
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, a lot.
00:56:09And every girl loves them.
00:56:11You love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, Carl.
00:56:16Oh, yes, we love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:21You look fantastic.
00:56:22Oh, they're boots.
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24No, they're like.
00:56:25No, they're boots.
00:56:25Oh, they're right up there.
00:56:26One big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl, you look fantastic.
00:56:29Thank you so much.
00:56:29Your 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.
00:56:37Is that a lot older than you?
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39Free for you.
00:56:39And that's old.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:42So that was.
00:56:43Because you look so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe.
00:56:46You know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:49You look great and I just like your show business prowess.
00:56:53You 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 that was like the Marilyn Monroe,
00:57:10but one of my favorite movies of all time is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15And burlesque.
00:57:16Yeah, it was.
00:57:16That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see, like, you're like one of these people
00:57:22that you, um, you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like, once you start hitting your stride,
00:57:28like, we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:33That was, like, such an amazing performance
00:57:36that you did then so effortlessly with dancers and singing
00:57:41and 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,
00:57:51wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So, well done.
00:57:56That was great.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:02Girl.
00:58:03Sophie, looking like a million bucks up here,
00:58:06serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:12And 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 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
00:58:37with all of the bells and whistles?
00:58:38Like, is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah, I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is.
00:58:45Like, 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.
00:58:51And that's really how I feel.
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
00:58:58and make their life any easier if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:04Well, if you want to see Sophie again next week,
00:59:08you have to vote for her, Australia,
00:59:10text Sophie to the number on the screen
00:59:12to help her lock in a top 10 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, OK?
00:59:23OK, Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make
00:59:30that will be a total game-changer
00:59:32for one of tonight's performers.
00:59:34They'll decide who will skip the public vote
00:59:37and be sent directly into the top 10.
00:59:40An advantage like that at this stage in the competition
00:59:43is invaluable.
00:59:46That 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
01:00:02which of tonight's performers will score the coveted judge save,
01:00:07which will lock one Idol into the top 10,
01:00:10skipping the public vote.
01:00:12While they mull over that massive decision,
01:00:14we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol
01:00:19and about to head on a national tour.
01:00:21But before he hits the road,
01:00:23he's stopped by for an exclusive performance
01:00:25with your top 12.
01:00:27Singing his ARIA award-winning song,
01:00:30Choir, this is Class of Estran.
01:00:38I know it's weird to say this,
01:00:40but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas,
01:00:45drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages,
01:00:51and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life,
01:00:55the ones I got to share with you
01:00:57are probably my favorite.
01:00:58I 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.
01:01:18No one can put out your fire.
01:01:21Nobody feeling your shoes.
01:01:23Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:25Yeah, we all riding with you.
01:01:29Hey, hey.
01:01:31See, we fill up all our days with
01:01:33working and grinding just to make ends meet.
01:01:36Too busy to call.
01:01:37We'll catch up next week,
01:01:38and then it gets to next week,
01:01:39and we say maybe next week.
01:01:42And then before you know,
01:01:43we are feeling old,
01:01:45asking ourselves,
01:01:46where did my friends go?
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 choir.
01:01:55You ain't doing this solo.
01:01:58We all riding with you.
01:02:01Yeah, no one can put out your fire.
01:02:04Nobody feeling your shoes.
01:02:06Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:02:09We all riding with you.
01:02:12Yeah, yeah.
01:02:13Someday I know my friend,
01:02:15I'm gonna see you again.
01:02:17And when I do,
01:02:17you better have a part for me.
01:02:19You sing the melody,
01:02:21and I'll take the harmony.
01:02:24We ain't done making music yet.
01:02:26We got some more short checks.
