00:03:37australian idol and therefore survive the life of an artist after all you say this is your dream
00:03:45step up y'all and um surprise yourselves okay focus focus focus you're here to win
00:03:53well first up is my favorite the chorus line
00:03:58in lines of five you will all sing the same song but you must stand out that is the key
00:04:09best of luck we'll see you all soon off you go thank you
00:04:21the chorus line challenge is simple but simple does not mean easy our singers have been split
00:04:30into six groups with each group allocated a different song hardest part for this for me is
00:04:37the chorus line challenge because i might get assigned the most random song and have to like
00:04:41put my magic into it the goal stand out from your group or risk going home
00:04:49i'm going to work my eyes off to get that top 21 because i want to get in there
00:04:54throughout the day the judges must select one person from each group to be put on notice
00:05:00and at the end of the day three of the singers on notice will leave the competition
00:05:07i want it pretty badly i'm finding that the further you get the more you want it
00:05:11i think that sort of goes for everyone i've spoken to as it goes on you're like oh wait
00:05:15this is kind of cool i don't want to leave while the rest of our singers anxiously await their turn
00:05:21on stage it's time for our first group to front the judges and they'll be singing miley cyrus's
00:05:28grammy award-winning smash hit flowers with ballad singer harlan
00:05:49it's remarkable what you just did thank you the chorus line really has the potential to expose me
00:05:55you are in a very vulnerable position and it is just you and a chuck on that sage
00:05:59which does make me nervous natalie the broom singer you're really good
00:06:13wildcard matt who performed in front of marsha and 30 000 others at idol's biggest ever audition
00:06:40i think men would be pretty proud yeah and horse riding 17 year old lily grace both young country
00:06:47singers looking to set themselves apart it might be a chorus line but i think that i've really made it
00:06:53my
00:06:53own and it's going to be my own little show my own moment you know i'm really going to
00:06:56take take today and just like give it my all

00:34:31Thank you
00:34:32John, Johnny, for a guy that loves the jukebox
00:34:36This is a little bit out of your wheelhouse
00:34:38How are you feeling about this song?
00:34:42Yeah, so I've taken the country genre and changed it into a bit of a jukebox rock and roll
00:34:48Good, good, good, good, good thinking
00:34:52Alright, Johnny jukebox, let's do it
00:34:59Hey!

00:35:33Wow
00:35:33You did what you said you were gonna do
00:35:35You're on a country song
00:35:36You twisted it into the artist you are
00:35:38Excellent work, stand back
00:35:40Thank you
00:35:41Great thinking
00:35:41Okay, now we're just gonna have a little chat
00:35:43Have a bit of a chat
00:35:43Yeah
00:35:44You guys will wait there
00:35:46And then we'll tell you who we like and who we don't like
00:35:53I'm like a boy in the mid plays on the radio
00:35:56Yeah
00:35:58Yeah, circle that up
00:35:59I think you're right
00:36:00So
00:36:01Okay, well, well done
00:36:03It's not easy to do what you just did
00:36:06We had a couple of minor disagreements but in the end obviously we had to choose one person
00:36:12So when I call your name please step forward
00:36:17Kesha
00:36:21John
00:36:26Cody
00:36:29And the last one is going to be
00:36:37Riley
00:36:39Riley
00:36:40You just scraped through
00:36:43Okay guys, you can lead the stage, congratulations, you're through
00:36:53Vince
00:36:57We are such big fans of you
00:37:00Unfortunately you're gonna be put on notice
00:37:02It is just a vocal thing, you just weren't the strongest, especially out of that group
00:37:08And also you know like when you're gonna sing try not to stretch for the notes so much you know
00:37:14just sort of just stay in the pocket
00:37:15Stay in a place of comfort but slight discomfort if that makes sense
00:37:20Yeah
00:37:20So you're not out but you are on notice
00:37:22You're on a notice
00:37:23Understood, thank you guys
00:37:24You are
00:37:24Thanks Vince
00:37:25Good luck man
00:37:25Thank you
00:37:26Thank you
00:37:26We'll let you know later today
00:37:29Yeah
00:37:30But that was a nice refresher of how there was some good voices in there
00:37:33Yeah
00:37:33Some nice strong completely different
00:37:37I'm a bit disappointed but it's a really tough competition
00:37:40Everyone is very talented, we're all talented, I'm talented but they were just out of touch better today than I
00:37:45was
00:37:46It's not the end
00:37:49Just work on those vocals and get them up to scratch
00:37:52Cause I wanna be here and I deserve to be here
00:37:55Coming up
00:37:55What has got Kyle spooked?
00:38:00And
00:38:01Our chorus line of cool kids
00:38:03The young guns hit the idle stage
00:38:06You're in the fearless years, enjoy, gets worse
00:38:11But one wrong move
00:38:13You stuff some lyrics up there
00:38:15Watch your diction
00:38:17Means it's game over
00:38:19Just leave
00:38:21Take your sock and go
00:38:34They're unedible
00:38:35They're the colours I don't like
00:38:39Send someone to the shop to get the killer pythons
00:38:42Please
00:38:43While the hunt is on for Kyle's killer pythons
00:38:46Our next group is ready to strike
00:38:48And
00:38:49They're the youngest line up of the day
00:38:51And it includes
00:38:53Musical chameleon ever
00:38:55I don't have a song
00:38:56Who took the biggest risk in idle history
00:38:59You've come undecided
00:39:00Yeah
00:39:00So I thought I'd leave the choice up to you guys
00:39:04Whitney Houston saving all my love
00:39:06So I'm saving all my love for you
00:39:11Tennessee whiskey
00:39:13Tennessee whiskey
00:39:16You brought every single genre there
00:39:20And you made it sound like ever
00:39:22Thank you so much
00:39:23Thank you
00:39:23What a joy
00:39:24What a joy
00:39:24That was incredible
00:39:25Well done
00:39:29Back up dancer Locky
00:39:31I'm out of love
00:39:32I'm out of love
00:39:33Set me free
00:39:34Let me out this misery
00:39:3815 year old busker Tayo
00:39:4070s inspired Jamie
00:39:43And pop punk rocker Achille
00:39:45Say it ain't so
00:39:47I will not go
00:39:48Turn the lights off
00:39:50Carry me home
00:39:51They'll be singing Wings by Little Mix
00:39:53I used to listen to Little Mix all the time when I was younger
00:39:56So I feel like I can connect to the song a little bit more
00:40:04Our chorus line of cool kids
00:40:06Yeah
00:40:07You guys must have seen the other lines and thought we're the cool kids
00:40:10Look at that
00:40:11You know this is the young group
00:40:13Y'all ain't scared of nothing
00:40:14I love youth
00:40:16Okay
00:40:16Good luck everybody
00:40:18It's not until you get to my age that you're scared of everything
00:40:20A butterfly comes by
00:40:21Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! It's just a butterfly
00:40:24You're in the fearless years
00:40:26Enjoy
00:40:26Gets worse
00:40:28Okay guys, let's go
00:40:29Eva, you're up first
00:40:37Mama told me not to waste my life
00:40:40She said spread your wings
00:40:43My little butterfly
00:40:45My feet
00:40:46My feet can't touch the ground
00:40:48And I can't hear a sound
00:40:50Cause I'm too fly to care
00:40:52Yeah
00:40:53Oh yeah
00:40:54Oh yeah
00:40:55Your words
00:40:57Don't mean a thing
00:40:58I'm not listening
00:41:00Keep talking
00:41:02All I know is
00:41:04Mama told me not to waste my life
00:41:07She said spread your wings
00:41:10My little butterfly
00:41:11Don't let what they say
00:41:14Keep you off at night
00:41:16Don't matter if I fall from the sky
00:41:20These wings were made to fly
00:41:25Think you have her back in line
00:41:26Thank you
00:41:28Okay
00:41:28How did that feel for you, Eva?
00:41:30It was... it felt different
00:41:32Yeah
00:41:32Yeah
00:41:33I just remember you because you let us pick your audition
00:41:37Yeah
00:41:38Yeah, you said I'll sing any song
00:41:40Yeah, yeah
00:41:40I was pretty impressed by that
00:41:41Yeah, you had your guitar and
00:41:42Yup
00:41:43And it was really cool
00:41:44And that...
00:41:45I don't know
00:41:46It felt...
00:41:47It just didn't feel like you for some reason
00:41:49Oh really?
00:41:49Okay
00:41:49You don't usually have trouble with your pitch
00:41:52But you have trouble with your pitch
00:41:53Yeah
00:41:53Yeah
00:41:54The song I felt did get away from you a bit
00:41:56Okay
00:41:57Who's next?
00:41:58Toyo
00:41:59This song I think is cool and current
00:42:03But you weren't even born when this song came out, is that right?
00:42:06I was two years old then
00:42:08Oh, so you know it?
00:42:11Uh...
00:42:11I'm not sure if I was listening to Little Mix when I was two
00:42:14Okay, maybe your mum liked it
00:42:15Good luck, bro
00:42:16Mm-hmm
00:42:17All right
00:42:17Kill it, go for gold
00:42:18Thank you so much
00:42:19You're welcome
00:42:36Mama told me not to waste my life
00:42:40Oh, Jesus
00:42:40Spread your wings, my little butterfly
00:42:44My feet, me can't touch the ground
00:42:47And I can't hear a sound
00:42:50So I'll just keep on running off your mouth
00:42:53Yeah, walk, walk on over there
00:42:56Cause I can't really care
00:42:58Oh yeah
00:43:00Lockheed.
00:43:17Jamie.
00:43:44Jamie, thank you.
00:43:46Yeah.
00:43:47Nice work.
00:43:47I forgot how powerful you are.
00:43:50It's always a surprise.
00:43:52Oh, Killy.
00:43:54Step forward, my friend.
00:43:55Hey, guys.
00:43:56I'm wondering how is our little punk boy going to do a UK girl band song?
00:44:03What are you going to do to it?
00:44:06I workshopped the song a little bit with the music team,
00:44:08and I gave them the idea that I can turn this song into pop punk.
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:12Have my own spin on it.
00:44:14I like the sound of this.
00:44:15Already I like it, but we haven't seen it yet.
00:44:18Go for it, Barry.
00:44:30Let's go.
00:44:30Mama told me not to waste my life.
00:44:33She says, get your wings, my little butterfly.
00:44:37Don't like what they say.
00:44:38Keep you up in life.
00:44:40And if they give you, they can walk on by.
00:44:43My feet can touch the ground, and you just keep on running your mouth.
00:44:48Yeah.
00:44:48Walk.
00:44:49Walk on over there.
00:44:50And I'm too fly to care.
00:44:53Oh, yeah.
00:44:54You words don't mean a thing.
00:44:57I'm not listening.
00:44:58Keep talking.
00:45:01Mama told me not to waste my life.
00:45:03She says, build your wings, my little butterfly.
00:45:07Don't like what they say.
00:45:08Keep you up in life.
00:45:10And they can entertain you.
00:45:12These wings are made to fly.
00:45:15And we don't let nobody in the sky.
00:45:18No matter what they say, it won't hurt me.
00:45:21No matter if they fall from the sky.
00:45:24These wings are made to fly.
00:45:28Wow.
00:45:29There you go.
00:45:30Go ahead with your angst.
00:45:31That's some serious angst.
00:45:33Without your electric guitar, that was pretty cool.
00:45:39I've never heard that version.
00:45:41And I was thinking, what is Achille going to do with this thing?
00:45:44You, that was exactly what you should have done.
00:45:47Nicely done.
00:45:47So you just chat amongst yourself.
00:45:49Yeah.
00:45:50Good job.
00:45:52That was...
00:45:52Yeah, I think you did a good job.
00:45:54I was watching it too.
00:45:55I was like, is that...
00:45:56Can I hear that?
00:45:56And I was like, no, he's giving it some.
00:45:58Yeah, that's what I was...
00:45:58I couldn't tell.
00:45:59His throat, yeah.
00:46:01All right, guys.
00:46:03Um...
00:46:03Tough group.
00:46:04When I call your name, you can stand forward.
00:46:11Jamie.
00:46:16Achille.
00:46:20Tayo.
00:46:24And...
00:46:26Lockie.
00:46:29Congratulations, guys.
00:46:30You are through to the next round.
00:46:34You may leave the stage.
00:46:36Some of you look shocked.
00:46:37Just leave.
00:46:38Take your shock and go.
00:46:40Well done.
00:46:45Ever.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:46I kind of was expecting a little more.
00:46:49I think I just felt a bit more nervous and I could...
00:46:51Yeah, I felt like I had to perform, obviously, a bit more.
00:46:55You know, you've got to learn not to rest on your laurels, you know?
00:46:58And I don't believe that is the performer that you are.
00:47:02Yeah.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:02So I think it's important that you know we are very...
00:47:07We believe in you, but at this point in time,
00:47:09we don't know quite what to do with you.
00:47:10Okay.
00:47:10Okay?
00:47:11So, Eva, you're on notice.
00:47:14All right.
00:47:15Um, and we will see what happens at the end of the day.
00:47:18Three people have to go home.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:20All right?
00:47:21Okay.
00:47:23Bye.
00:47:34I don't know.
00:47:36I don't know.
00:47:36Sorry.
00:47:39I feel like I take criticism pretty badly, too.
00:47:42I don't know why.
00:47:46Um, I know I do still have that confidence in me, though, and I want to bring her out.
00:47:50Yeah.
00:47:51Because I know I can make it so much further in this competition.
00:47:59After the break, it's the final chorus line.
00:48:03Hello.
00:48:03Which brings some amazing talent.
00:48:06What a team.
00:48:07What a group.
00:48:08But one abysmal performance.
00:48:11Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:48:13That tips Kyle.
00:48:14Cut.
00:48:15Over the edge.
00:48:16Quite presumptuous to think that you can rewrite a worldwide song.
00:48:21You are on notice.
00:48:22And later, for soulful Kalani, could this be the end of the line?
00:48:30Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer to have to say this, but, um...
00:48:41The four chorus lines so far have left trucker Rochelle, landscaper Kalani, Nicholas, and now
00:48:49are shocked, ever, on notice, nervously waiting to hear if they will progress in the competition.
00:48:56Now it's time for the final line-up of the day, which includes part-time carer and full-time soul
00:49:03man, Charlie.
00:49:09Charlie, that was beautiful.
00:49:14The comeback kid, 16-year-old rapper Asher.
00:49:19The fuck he fits, he'll save your lips and tricks for the music, hip-hop, hooray, ho!
00:49:24I'm so impressed with you.
00:49:26Not taking no for an answer.
00:49:27That's right.
00:49:29Doting dad, Trey.
00:49:31R&B, princess, Alita.
00:49:34And Kalia, the makeup artists from Sydney who put her spin on an Amy Winehouse classic.
00:49:41I was thinking about the days you were old with me.
00:49:43Back when everything was a joke with me.
00:49:45We'd stay up and talk till the song will rise.
00:49:48Now it's just memory stock all for one.
00:49:50I think being the only female rapper in the show definitely gives me, you know, my own lane
00:49:55and just gives me that one step that I need to be in.
00:49:59Hello.
00:50:00Hello.
00:50:00What a team.
00:50:01What a group.
00:50:03Yeah, you all look amazing, but you're going to need to do a lot more than that to get through
00:50:08to the next round.
00:50:09I'll tell you the song.
00:50:10This is a great song.
00:50:11Guy Sebastian battles scars.
00:50:13Sounds easy.
00:50:14Not that easy, right?
00:50:15He's got a lot going on in this song.
00:50:18An OG Australian Idol winner.
00:50:21And this was the big song that helped him sort of get noticed in the US.
00:50:26Best of luck, guys.
00:50:29Alita, looking all hip-hop and cool.
00:50:32Are you in Adelaide as well?
00:50:34Yeah, I'm in Adelaide.
00:50:34Oh my goodness, that's where Guy's from.
00:50:37Imagine two idols out of Adelaide represent your city of churches, my friend.
00:50:42Good luck, Alita, when you're ready.
00:50:44Thank you very much.
00:50:54These battle scars don't look like they're fading
00:50:58Don't look like they're ever going away
00:51:02They're never going to change
00:51:05These battles
00:51:07Charlie
00:51:07Never let a wound
00:51:09Rue with me
00:51:10But it feels like this wound
00:51:12Rue with me
00:51:13But the holes are never closed
00:51:15And you're just being full of stupid
00:51:16Because I know
00:51:17It ain't knowing you and me
00:51:19Yeah
00:51:19Trey
00:51:20When you're trying to beat the odds up
00:51:21Trying to keep your odds up
00:51:23And you know that you know
00:51:24Trying to write yourself a rightful
00:51:26Maybe sharpen up a song
00:51:27And fight the battles
00:51:28Of you being alone
00:51:29Wish you weren't the best
00:51:30Best I ever had
00:51:32Wishing you the blue
00:51:33Never had
00:51:34Cause it'll never be over
00:51:37Until you tell me it's over
00:51:39Asha
00:51:40Yo, I wish you weren't the best
00:51:41The best I ever had
00:51:43I wish I never looked
00:51:44I wish I never touched
00:51:46Cause I
00:51:46Yeah
00:51:47And I just wish that these battle scars
00:51:49These battle scars
00:51:51Would go away
00:51:57Interesting
00:51:59Because you rewrote it, right?
00:52:01Yeah, slightly
00:52:02Using the original lyrics
00:52:03Wow
00:52:05Okay
00:52:05Kalia
00:52:15I missed
00:52:16I missed
00:52:22Oh no, she missed the intro
00:52:24Start again
00:52:26Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
00:52:27Cut, cut, cut
00:52:33Start again
00:52:34Start again
00:52:43These battle scars
00:52:46Don't look like they're fading
00:52:48Don't look like they're ever gone away
00:52:51They ain't never gonna change
00:52:54These battle
00:52:58Never let a roar
00:52:59Ruin me
00:53:00Even though it ruins, ruins me
00:53:02Rub the hose when it goes
00:53:05Let's stop
00:53:09And when it's time to get your minds up
00:53:11I know that you should go
00:53:18Cut
00:53:21No forgetting lyrics
00:53:24It's 101 of what you guys want to do
00:53:27For a living
00:53:29Excuse us
00:53:33I mean
00:53:35She's pretty
00:53:35She can't stay
00:53:36She's not
00:53:38Okay
00:53:39Look you guys
00:53:40Some of you got stuff you need to really work on
00:53:43And get a bit more solid in your performances
00:53:49Trey, you stuffed some lyrics up there
00:53:51Yes, a lot of syllables
00:53:52It wasn't solid
00:53:53But we'll see if it's enough to get you through in a moment
00:53:58Alita, please do me a favour
00:54:00Watch your diction
00:54:02It's so important that people hear what you're singing
00:54:05I'm just gonna read you notes that I wrote
00:54:08Alita
00:54:08Looks great, sounds great
00:54:10Boring
00:54:10Charlie
00:54:11Just a little pitchy
00:54:13But overall, it's okay
00:54:15Asha
00:54:16Quite presumptuous of a young man to think that he can rewrite a big worldwide song
00:54:21But did you stand out for the right reasons?
00:54:31You four can go
00:54:34Thank you
00:54:35You, Kalia, are on notice
00:54:37See you next time
00:54:39Next round
00:54:39Good luck
00:54:42Kalia, we gave you a second chance
00:54:44It still wasn't perfect
00:54:46In this challenge
00:54:47You needed to stand out
00:54:48And maybe you did just for the wrong reasons
00:54:51You're dismissed as well
00:54:52See you this afternoon
00:54:53Thank you so much
00:54:54No worries
00:55:00I'm feeling like
00:55:01I could have done better
00:55:02I think once I was blanked the first time
00:55:05And I lost the mark
00:55:06I think it just threw me off
00:55:07Yeah, I just couldn't pick myself back up from there
00:55:15Coming up
00:55:15The bottom line is we all have bad days
00:55:18Six on notice
00:55:23But at this stage, you really can't afford them
00:55:26Yeah
00:55:26At the end of the day, the performance was just not up to scratch
00:55:29But only three will survive
00:55:32Today, this is the end of your idle journey
00:55:42The honeymoon is over
00:55:45Six of our best are officially on notice
00:55:50And three will go home
00:55:53Those at risk
00:55:54Cowboy Vince
00:55:56Trucker Rochelle
00:55:58Musical chameleon
00:56:00Ever
00:56:00Small town heartthrob
00:56:02Nicholas
00:56:03Landscaper Kalani
00:56:05And make-up artist Kalia
00:56:08The judges must now make the harshest of decisions
00:56:12Who stays and who goes home
00:56:15It has been a day
00:56:16A few disappointments
00:56:16A few surprises
00:56:18Yeah
00:56:18Three have got to go
00:56:19Whilst the judges deliberate backstage
00:56:22The reality of the situation is sinking in
00:56:26Yeah, I think I just overthought it in that moment
00:56:28And let it get the better of me
00:56:30I put too much pressure on myself
00:56:32And it kind of, it let me down
00:56:34You all went out there
00:56:36You gave your best
00:56:38Nobody's perfect
00:56:38But you left it all on the stage
00:56:40And now it's up to the judges
00:56:41And I wish you all the best of luck
00:56:44Thanks for here
00:56:44All right
00:56:45You ready to go out there and find out?
00:56:46Yeah
00:56:47Thank you
00:56:47All right
00:56:47Good luck everyone
00:56:49Thank you
00:56:50You want to prove yourself that you've got this and you can do it
00:56:53But at the same time it's
00:56:56Yeah, you just never know
00:56:57It's the unknown now
00:57:00I disappointed myself
00:57:02But I feel like I gave it everything I could
00:57:04Hopefully I scrape through
00:57:06And I can prove even better tomorrow
00:57:10Welcome back
00:57:13Six of you here
00:57:14And three are going home
00:57:19You know, the bottom line is we all have bad days
00:57:25But at this stage of the competition
00:57:28You really can't afford them, guys
00:57:30Okay
00:57:33Kalani, you're our Central Coast landscaper
00:57:36Can you step forward?
00:57:41Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer to have to say this
00:57:43But um
00:57:46You forgot the lyrics
00:57:48You know, we all get wake-up calls
00:57:50And this has been a big one for you
00:57:52Yeah
00:57:52Okay
00:57:54So um
00:57:58You have just
00:58:02Made it through
00:58:02To the next round
00:58:04Thank you so much
00:58:05It means the world, honestly
00:58:06It's your tone that I like
00:58:08But bro
00:58:09Thank you so much
00:58:09Don't get it twisted in your head
00:58:11Stay how we met you
00:58:13You're great how you are
00:58:14Don't overthink it
00:58:14Okay
00:58:15Off you go to the winner's room
00:58:17Thank you so much, guys
00:58:18And we'll see you next round
00:58:18Well done, buddy
00:58:19Well done
00:58:20Congrats
00:58:20Okay
00:58:25Now the odds are worse
00:58:29Kalia, step forward please
00:58:32We thought you were fantastic at the auditions
00:58:36Thank you
00:58:36Today
00:58:37We saw
00:58:38A derailed version
00:58:41Of someone that we really believed in
00:58:43What happened today?
00:58:46I think I just let the nerves
00:58:48Get the best of me
00:58:49Honestly
00:58:50My brain went blank
00:58:51I was in pain for you
00:58:53It sucks
00:58:54At this stage of the competition
00:58:56Some people do have to go home
00:58:59Yeah
00:59:00And unfortunately today
00:59:02This is the end of your idol journey
00:59:05Thanks so much
00:59:06Thank you so much
00:59:07Thank you
00:59:07Bye, guys
00:59:08Good luck
00:59:08Okay
00:59:11Ever from Brizzy
00:59:12Take a step forward
00:59:15The song took you over today
00:59:19And we didn't get to see the ever that we know
00:59:24It was a bit pitchy and there were nerves
00:59:28And we just didn't see your creativity
00:59:29That we saw in that audition
00:59:32Yeah, I feel like I had to overperform
00:59:35And that's something now that I know not to do
00:59:38And really focus on my voice
00:59:40And I'm really ready to step forward
00:59:42And put it all in
00:59:44Because I'm ready to be here
00:59:48Well, we're actually going to
00:59:57Give you another chance
01:00:00Because we do believe in you
01:00:04So well done
01:00:06Hopefully that girl that we saw that day
01:00:08Just bounces back
01:00:09Because she was awesome
01:00:11Yeah
01:00:12Congratulations and we'll see you in the next round
01:00:13Thank you so much
01:00:14No worries
01:00:15You're welcome
01:00:18So relieved
01:00:19That I made it through
01:00:20Yep
01:00:22I am here to stay
01:00:23And I am here to put in so much more effort
01:00:28And that leaves three
01:00:31And only one spot left
01:00:45And that leaves three
01:00:49And only one spot left
01:00:59A female truckie, Michelle
01:01:02Come forward
01:01:02Yeah, you had an okay
01:01:06Audition
01:01:06It was okay
01:01:07Yeah
01:01:08You know
01:01:08And I mean
01:01:09I think you're far better than you showed
01:01:11I just
01:01:12I want you to know that
01:01:13You're a fine talent
01:01:15Thank you
01:01:16You're welcome
01:01:17And know that
01:01:18You own that, okay
01:01:21But unfortunately
01:01:24At this point in time
01:01:25I have to say
01:01:26That you'll be leaving the competition
01:01:28Thank you very much
01:01:29Thank you
01:01:30You're welcome, sweetie
01:01:31Thank you for the
01:01:31Constructive criticism and everything
01:01:33I really appreciate it
01:01:34Good luck in your career
01:01:35Thank you very much
01:01:36We hope we see you again one day
01:01:37Thank you
01:01:42Obviously a bit disappointed
01:01:44Disheartened, but
01:01:45At the same time
01:01:46Yeah, I just appreciate that
01:01:47I've been given this opportunity anyway
01:01:49And it's good enough
01:01:50To get into the top 30
01:01:51And yeah
01:01:52It's been a journey
01:01:53And an experience
01:01:54And I hope I have made Longridge proud
01:01:59And that leaves
01:02:00Nicholas and Vince
01:02:04You two can group together
01:02:06If you like
01:02:07For some moral support
01:02:10I'll come to you, mate
01:02:14It's a scary situation to be in
01:02:17Because you know that
01:02:1750-50 you're going in
01:02:1950-50 you're not
01:02:20With the vocals that I had
01:02:22It was
01:02:22I did the best of my ability
01:02:24I'm just not feeling that confident about it
01:02:27Okay
01:02:28Whilst both of you
01:02:29Tick a lot of boxes
01:02:30What we look for
01:02:32At the end of the day
01:02:34The performance from both of you
01:02:35Was just not up to scratch
01:02:39Vince
01:02:39I just wish your vocals
01:02:41Were just
01:02:43Up another level
01:02:45And Nicholas
01:02:45I know you weren't feeling well
01:02:47You weren't at your best
01:02:48And I really appreciate that
01:02:50The end of your performance
01:02:51Really just fell to pieces
01:02:53And that was nothing to do with the illness
01:02:55That was you in your head
01:02:59And unfortunately for you
01:03:02Today is
01:03:04The final idle day
01:03:07Nicholas
01:03:08You're off home
01:03:11Boy
01:03:12You got this
01:03:13Hopefully we see you again one day
01:03:16You're going really far in life
01:03:18Appreciate it
01:03:18Thank you
01:03:19You can exit these stairs, man
01:03:21Thanks so much, Nicholas
01:03:22Thanks, Nick
01:03:22Take care of yourself
01:03:23Thank you, you too
01:03:27Bit upset
01:03:29So I'm just going to cop it
01:03:30And just, you know, use that
01:03:32To be better next time
01:03:35I don't think I'll get an experience like this again
01:03:37Unless I come back next year
01:03:39Which I'm going to try my hardest to
01:03:42I just want to say one thing, Vince
01:03:45I'm going to be watching you
01:03:47Okay
01:03:48And I know you can do it
01:03:51I want to prove to you guys
01:03:52And prove to myself that
01:03:53I deserve this
01:03:54I'm still here
01:03:55I'm not going home
01:03:57Congratulations
01:03:58You can leave
01:03:59Thanks, Jamie
01:04:00Yeah
01:04:06I didn't think I was going to swing that way
01:04:09I'm relieved
01:04:10I didn't want to go home
01:04:11There's such an amazing group here
01:04:12I'm still in, baby
01:04:14Don't worry about that
01:04:24Oh, no
01:04:30Okay
01:04:32Tomorrow, 7.30
01:04:33Idol will shock Australia
01:04:36The best part of that was the end
01:04:38Oh, okay
01:04:41While some will blow us all away
01:04:44We found love in a hopeless place
01:04:48Stop it
01:04:50Now that's what I'm talking about
01:04:52Only the best will make it to the live performances
01:04:56There it is
01:04:57There it is
