00:00:00The wait is over. Top 12 week has arrived.
00:00:05Australia, now it's your turn. You vote, you decide.
00:00:09This is...
00:00:11Australia!
00:00:28Hello, I'm Ricky Lee. And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:31And there is an epic live audience in the house tonight.
00:00:34Make some noise!
00:00:39Wow!
00:00:41Alright, this week the Top 12 take to the stage with iconic songs from the movies as they compete for
00:00:47your votes.
00:00:48Brace yourself for blockbuster bangers and award-winning performances that you simply cannot miss.
00:00:54But before this movie starts, let's roll out the red carpet for your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:08Cole Sandelers!
00:01:11Marta Hines!
00:01:13And Amy Shaw!
00:01:21Good evening, Scotty. Pretty in pink.
00:01:24Ricky Lee, here we go.
00:01:26You and me in pink tonight.
00:01:43Good evening, judges.
00:01:45Hi there.
00:01:46Good evening.
00:01:46Alright, so tonight you will see the first half of your Top 12 perform for your votes.
00:01:52Tomorrow night the remaining six idols will take to the stage.
00:01:55Then, on Tuesday, we are live with our Top 12 verdict show where one singer from each night will go
00:02:05home.
00:02:06Up until this point, our judges have had the difficult task of narrowing down thousands of singers.
00:02:12But that ends now.
00:02:15Starting this very moment, the power is in your hands as voting is officially open for tonight's idols.
00:02:22They are...
00:02:23Perth's soul man with the trademark beanie, Charlie.
00:02:26CHEERING
00:02:28Northern Rivers country singer, Lily Grace.
00:02:32And Central Coast landscaper, Kalani.
00:02:37CHEERING
00:02:38And the barber from Ballarat, Harry.
00:02:42CHEERING
00:02:44Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella.
00:02:48CHEERING
00:02:50And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta.
00:02:54CHEERING
00:02:57Now remember, you are in the director's seat and will decide which of our singers make it to the Top
00:03:0310.
00:03:04To vote, simply text the name of your favourite idol to the number on the screen.
00:03:08Thanks to the all-new Jaku, J5, Eevee powering electric idol performances.
00:03:15You can vote up to ten times per number or use them all on one idol or you can share
00:03:20the votes around.
00:03:21It is up to you.
00:03:22But voting closes tomorrow at 7pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
00:03:26Now, don't forget, after tonight's performances, the judges will save just one singer from the public vote, putting them straight
00:03:35through to the Top 10.
00:03:36They are facing an enormous decision because this year's talent is truly next level.
00:03:43Amy, voting is officially open, can you believe it?
00:03:48In a cast of unforgettable talent, what can our idols do to stand out as main characters tonight?
00:03:55Well, I think they need to feel like the main character.
00:03:57I mean, they've already made it to the Top 12, which is incredible, and what a night to do it.
00:04:02They've got the sets, the band, they look amazing, so they've just got to feel like the main character, I
00:04:07think.
00:04:07Yeah, 100%. And Marsha, we're expecting big movie anthems tonight.
00:04:13Will you expect our idols to match the original? You want them to make it their own?
00:04:17Well, I think they can't match it, but they can take it to another level.
00:04:22And, you know, like we're saying in the very beginning, we have travelled the whole country to look for singers
00:04:27like this.
00:04:28It is now up to Australia to vote.
00:04:32So, you see somebody you dig, you make sure you vote for them, because if you don't, they can vote
00:04:38it out.
00:04:40Sure words never spoken, Marsha.
00:04:42I know it's true, right?
00:04:42Now, Kyle, are you prepared for cinematic moments and maybe even a few plot twists?
00:04:49I love a plot twist.
00:04:50I know you do.
00:04:51You two wearing pink and purple is giving me bad flashbacks.
00:04:56I spent an hour and a half with my Aunty Jill.
00:04:59She was at Garden City RSL with her friends, talking about the contestants and no one knows who's going to
00:05:06win.
00:05:07And normally by now, we've got an idea if we like one or two.
00:05:09It went on and on.
00:05:11And those women, big fans of all of you guys, good luck tonight.
00:05:14Anyone can still win this right at the beginning.
00:05:17So, best of luck everyone.
00:05:19Alright.
00:05:20Yes.
00:05:21100%.
00:05:22Well, on that note, it's lights, camera, action for our first singer of the night.
00:05:28I felt a bit Formula One there, I got a bit excited.
00:05:30He's the beanie wearing soul man who's loving life in the top 12 fast lane.
00:05:35From Perth in Western Australia, this is Charlie.
00:05:47Movie week, let's go.
00:05:49Life is so different here in the top 12.
00:05:52It's like I should start identifying as a movie star.
00:05:55It is fast paced, doing things all the time.
00:05:58We're doing photo shoots, rehearsals, makeup, wardrobe, hair for the other contestants.
00:06:04It's so different to life back in Perth.
00:06:06Hello.
00:06:07Hey Charlie.
00:06:09Top 12, welcome.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:13Let's talk about it.
00:06:14Let's talk about it.
00:06:14You got through, but now it's Australia voting.
00:06:18Crazy.
00:06:18So the pressure's on.
00:06:19Oh, oh yeah.
00:06:20Big time.
00:06:21You can feel like that pressure just creeping in man.
00:06:24Things, things are getting real.
00:06:25So it's movie week.
00:06:27What song you sing?
00:06:28My Girl by The Temptations.
00:06:30Bit of, bit of a size check?
00:06:31Oh yeah, for sure, for sure.
00:06:33I won't, I won't match, I won't match you on that.
00:06:36Can't wait to hear it.
00:06:37Let's do it.
00:06:38Cool.
00:06:39I think the movie to me is remembered for the expression of young love and how beautiful
00:06:45that can be.
00:06:45I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:06:53I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:07:08There's that key change happening just after here.
00:07:11Yeah, the key change.
00:07:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:12Felt a bit like you were unsure of yourself.
00:07:14Yeah, a little.
00:07:15We're trying to, trying to work out the notes.
00:07:17Yeah.
00:07:17So you have to kind of really be on point.
00:07:19Singers tend to just like scoop and let me fly that out.
00:07:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:23But we want like clear steps.
00:07:26It's a big worry to have something like a key change in your performance that you have
00:07:31to nail, especially in front of the nation.
00:07:35There's no room for slip ups, no room for mistakes.
00:07:38If I don't land the key change, it could really fall flat on its face.
00:07:43And that means I can go home.
00:07:51I got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:08:00When it's cold outside, I got the month of May.
00:08:08Yeah, come on.
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:11I guess you say, what can make me feel this way.
00:08:20It's my girl.
00:08:23I'm talking bout my high, girl.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:32I got so much honey.
00:08:36Even the bees and the leaves
00:08:41Oh, I got a sweeter song
00:08:45Than the birds and the trees
00:08:48Oh, yeah, it's for me, yeah
00:08:51I guess you would just say
00:08:56What can make me feel this way?
00:09:01It's my girl, my girl
00:09:04I'm talking about my girl, my girl
00:09:08Hey!
00:09:10My girl, yeah
00:09:11I got sunshine on a cloudy day
00:09:16With my girl
00:09:18I even got the month of May
00:09:21I'm talking about my girl
00:09:24Talking about my girl
00:09:27Only my girl can make me feel this way
00:09:38I'm talking about my girl
00:09:59I'm talking about my girl
00:10:05Oh, Charlie, what a great song for you
00:10:07It's a great song, classic, a classic
00:10:09A classic, I mean, I remember when that came out
00:10:11When I was a little girl
00:10:13And I was born in the month of May
00:10:14So it was just always something that was sung in our house
00:10:17It just took me back to great memories
00:10:18And your spin on that, wow
00:10:21Like, talk about main character energy oozing out of everywhere
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch
00:10:28Oh, thank you
00:10:29You just got such an authentic sound
00:10:31I love it
00:10:32Thank you very much
00:10:33Thank you so much
00:10:39Yo, Charlie, were you singing that for your girl?
00:10:41Yes, I was
00:10:42I felt that
00:10:43Yeah
00:10:43That was really lovely
00:10:44You know, you sing and you sing
00:10:46And then you plot as you go
00:10:48But I'm always very interested to hear how you end a song
00:10:53And that was really cool
00:10:54Well done, Charlie
00:10:55Oh, thank you so much
00:10:56Thank you so much
00:11:00Yeah, Charlie
00:11:01Everyone looks forward to seeing you
00:11:03Because you make it so effortless
00:11:05And it feels like you've been doing this your entire life
00:11:08You make every song that everyone knows
00:11:10They can sing along to it
00:11:11But you give it your own Charlie spin
00:11:13It seems to work every single time
00:11:16Don't change
00:11:16Well, thank you, Carl
00:11:17Thank you so much, mate

00:11:29What a classic
00:11:30You killed it
00:11:32How was that for you?
00:11:33It was incredible
00:11:34You know, incredible to dedicate this to my partner

00:11:37And it just means so much, you know
00:11:39You can tell

00:12:34Thank you very much, thank you
00:12:39Okay, what a way to kick off movie week
00:12:42And it's time to cue the next scene
00:12:44She has chosen a song from the iconic movie
00:12:47The Devil Wears Prada
00:12:48From the northern rivers of New South Wales
00:12:51It's our country gal, Lily Grace
00:13:00The top 12 is great
00:13:01We're here, I made it
00:13:02I can't
00:13:03I mean, I can't believe it
00:13:04Because I'm here
00:13:04But I also can't believe it
00:13:08I'm just a small-town girl
00:13:10And being in the big city
00:13:11Is a huge change for me
00:13:13It's really exciting
00:13:15Because a career in music
00:13:16Is what I've always wanted
00:13:17So being here
00:13:19And being in the top 12
00:13:20Is like a dream come true
00:13:22It is movie week
00:13:24And I'm singing Suddenly I See
00:13:26By Katie Tunstall
00:13:27From Devil Wears Prada
00:13:28She's a Grammy-nominated singer
00:13:30And like me
00:13:31She comes from a small town
00:13:32And I've actually been lucky enough
00:13:35To organise a little Zoom chat
00:13:37With Katie herself
00:13:39Hello, how are you?

00:13:51And so do I
00:13:52I mean, I'm a long way from home
00:13:54I'm like a 10-hour drive from home
00:13:55And I feel like
00:13:56I'm so glad that I have this song
00:13:58You know, because
00:13:58The way that I have somewhat
00:14:00Connected with it
00:14:01Is
00:14:02Sometimes you do have to make sacrifices
00:14:04To be
00:14:05Yeah
00:14:05You know, like to chase your dreams
00:14:07And I feel like this song kind of

00:20:36Katie Tunstall gave you some incredible words of wisdom in the lead up to tonight what was that like
00:20:42being able to talk with her and speak to the person whose song you were singing on this stage
00:20:46yeah you know honestly it was amazing she was so kind of down to earth and it felt like
00:20:51it kind of just felt like I was catching up with an old friend which is like
00:20:53you know when you're meeting people that are so successful and have had such amazing careers
00:20:57it's not always like that you know it's like oh it's kind of scary but I sat down and just

00:22:54I love this movie guys he's ready
00:23:01it's such an iconic movie it was always in the background growing up at Nan's place
00:23:06it's a real 80s classic
00:23:07I feel the need
00:23:09the need for speed
00:23:12being here with the gang and watching Top Gun is an amazing moment
00:23:16and it made me realise the song I'm going to need to sing for top 12

00:23:27yeah yeah
00:23:28classic
00:23:28what is it about this movie that you like so much
00:23:30well I think you know Maverick he sort of breaks the rules a little bit I guess in a sense
00:23:35and does his own thing and I feel like that sort of relates to me with my music
00:23:39seeing as I never had any lessons or that sort of thing
00:23:42which is like mind blowing to me yep
00:23:44I've gone more off feel and instinct
00:23:47there's a lot of pressure to perform this song really well
00:23:50especially after getting the fast pass into top 12
00:23:53I would like to give you my fast pass Kalani
00:23:58wow holy moly

00:33:22if you go out there
00:33:23and sort of half cook it
00:33:24it's just going to look soft

00:33:26the soft rock stuff
00:33:27if you go

00:35:54I'm going to be wild
00:35:57oh
00:36:19Hey, you know, like I keep saying, you've got one of those really cool rock voices.
00:36:24And did you see the response of the audience when you walked down there and you paid them some attention?
00:36:31For sure, yeah, it was great.
00:36:32Honey, I would have stayed there myself.
00:36:34You know, I mean, you did a great job, Harry.
00:36:36And it's really, just loosen up, man.
00:36:38You know, like, it's rock and roll.
00:36:41It's not kind and sweet.
00:36:44It's good and nasty.
00:36:45For sure.
00:36:46Okay.
00:36:46Well done.
00:36:47Yes, because you know it is.
00:36:49But well done, Harry.
00:36:50Thank you, Marcia.
00:36:50You're welcome.
00:36:55Ah, Paige, that was, I, so I was nervous because, you know, you're like, I was watching the little package
00:37:03put together and you're like, feeling it.
00:37:06And I was like, oh, please.
00:37:06Like, it's just, it's such a fine line with like, you know, rock and roll and then cringe.
00:37:11And that was the coolest you have looked.
00:37:15You looked so relaxed.
00:37:16You didn't, it didn't look forced.
00:37:18You just looked like you were really sinking into it.
00:37:22Did it feel like that?
00:37:23Yeah, for sure.
00:37:24I felt way more relaxed.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26Like, I know you're still like hitting marks and stuff, but you were kind of cruising around.
00:37:29You didn't go too over the top.
00:37:31You know, I actually thought you were really having a good time up there.
00:37:34I was.
00:37:34I had a really good time watching you.
00:37:36Well done.
00:37:36Thanks so much, Harry.
00:37:37Cheers.
00:37:43She had a really good time watching you.
00:37:46That's really what an artist wants to hear.
00:37:49That's amazing.
00:37:50Because to be really successful in this business, you either want to be that person on stage
00:37:56or you want to have sex with that person on stage.
00:37:59That's really what being an artist is.
00:38:01You think it's about singing and writing.
00:38:03No one gives a shit about that.
00:38:05Right?
00:38:06You did everything we told you to do from last week.
00:38:09Yes.
00:38:09You looked like you were having a way better time.
00:38:12I still think you could have a better time.
00:38:14Yep.
00:38:14Without hitting the cringe mark because we don't want cringe and roll.
00:38:17Sure.
00:38:17Yeah.
00:38:17It sounds like something you do with a fire drill.
00:38:19We're not interested.
00:38:20But you're good.
00:38:21You look good.
00:38:22The songs are great.
00:38:23You're singing in your pocket.
00:38:25You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing.
00:38:26But it's tough.
00:38:28These are the weeks you want to stay in.
00:38:30Sure.
00:38:30You don't want to be eliminated.
00:38:31But very well done, man.
00:38:32Nice work.
00:38:32Thanks so much, Kyle.
00:38:33Cheers.
00:38:36Harry, that was rock and roll.
00:38:38Thanks.
00:38:38You had the whole crowd on their feet.
00:38:40That was amazing.
00:38:41How was it for you?
00:38:42It felt really good.
00:38:43Yeah?
00:38:43I had a much better time, I think, this week.
00:38:45Just being able to kind of relax and ease into it a little bit more.
00:38:48Yeah.
00:38:48A long way to go, obviously.
00:38:49No, you looked really comfortable up here.
00:38:52Now, Harry, you are a barber back home.
00:38:54And your parents are manning the barber's chairs while you're here at Idle.
00:38:58Is it true that they're busier than ever with people wanting a haircut?
00:39:03It is.
00:39:03It's very true.
00:39:04I think the phone's ringing off the hook looking for me.
00:39:06I've had a few people that are sad that I'm here instead of back home cutting hair.
00:39:10Hey, does his parents even cut hair?
00:39:13They do, yeah.
00:39:14Oh, thank God.
00:39:15I thought they'd just been there going.
00:39:17Just keeping it alive.
00:39:17Just keeping it alive.
00:39:18They're not very good haircuts while I'm away, but they're fine.
00:39:21Oh, I just can't stop thinking about the haircut I gave to my husband during COVID.
00:39:26Whoa.
00:39:26It was the worst thing anyone's ever seen in Australia.
00:39:30To keep Harry's rock star dream alive, you have to vote.
00:39:35Text Harry to the number on the screen right now.
00:39:38He could also score tonight's coveted judge save.
00:39:42That will send him directly into the top ten.
00:39:44And then we will find out if he has that at the end of the show.
00:39:48Put your hands together, everybody, for Harry!
00:39:55The atmosphere in the audience tonight is absolutely electric.
00:39:59And if you want to be here, you can get your free tickets at australianidol.com.au.
00:40:03Well, there are more action-packed Movie Week performances still to come, including a favourite of mine, The Lion King.
00:40:10Idol is back after this.
00:40:24You're an Idol!
00:40:25And the first half of the top 12 are singing songs from the movies to score a role in the
00:40:29top ten.
00:40:30Then tomorrow night, these six idols will step into the spotlight.
00:40:34Wanwoo, Harlan, Kesha, John, Trey and Sophie.
00:40:38Wanwoo, are you enjoying the show so far?
00:40:40I'm living and loving it.
00:40:41Beyond grateful to be surrounded by such amazing people.
00:40:44Yeah, absolutely.
00:40:46And Harlan, what do you think of the show so far?
00:40:47I'm so, so, so proud of everyone who's performed so far.
00:40:50Australia, get your phones out and start voting.
00:40:53You heard it here first.
00:40:54Well, it's your turn tomorrow night.
00:40:57But now, she's a busy mum and a school teacher.
00:41:00And just weeks ago, she was in a classroom full of students.
00:41:03And now, she's in the top 12.
00:41:06Tonight, she's singing a song from a Disney film that once cleaned up at the Oscars.
00:41:10This is Samela.
00:41:19Hey Samela, how are you going?
00:41:21Good, how are you?
00:41:22I'm great.
00:41:23So welcome.
00:41:24Oh, welcome to the top 12.
00:41:27You did it.
00:41:27How are you feeling?
00:41:28I can't believe that.
00:41:28Yeah, I'm feeling so happy.
00:41:30My transformation for Transformation Week made me feel a million dollars.
00:41:34Like, I felt beautiful.
00:41:36And it was a really good feeling to be up there standing with confidence and ready to take
00:41:41on the world.
00:41:42It's movie week.
00:41:44Yeah.
00:41:44Top 12.
00:41:45What song do you see?
00:41:46I'm singing Circle of Life from The Lion King.
00:41:49Circle!
00:41:50Oh my gosh.
00:41:51The most powerful song ever.
00:41:53My connection to the Circle of Life is thinking about the generations of wonderful women in my
00:41:58family.
00:42:00I'm so grateful to have been raised by strong, powerful women, lionesses and women that are
00:42:06fearless.
00:42:06And I can't wait to raise a powerful, fearless woman.
00:42:12Like, that's what the world needs.
00:42:13Circle of Life through the sapphire skies.
00:42:18This song is really emotive.
00:42:20It's a powerful song.
00:42:22In the circle of life.
00:42:24So I need to make sure that I'm putting the emotion behind the performance.
00:42:29Just in this section, like, I feel like you're really thinking about your phrasing.
00:42:33You just need to relax into it.
00:42:35Yeah, totally.
00:42:35It almost feels robotic.
00:42:36Too tight.
00:42:37Too tight, yeah.
00:42:38Yeah.
00:42:38This song does not allow for robotics.
00:42:41It needs to be emotive and it needs to flow melodically.
00:42:44We'll sing it one more time and just thinking about the generations.
00:42:47The women, powerful women.
00:42:48Exactly.
00:42:49And just really channeling that.
00:42:51It's incredibly important to forget about the technical side of the scene and remember
00:42:56who I'm singing this for.
00:42:57I'm thinking about my ya-ya, my grandma.
00:43:00I'm thinking about my mum.
00:43:02I'm thinking about my daughter.
00:43:04It is so important that I completely blow this performance out of the water to ensure
00:43:09that I have a spot in the top ten.
00:43:13The day we arrived on the planet and Lincoln stepped into the sun.
00:43:37It's ready for the sun.
00:43:40By the wind.
00:43:49Hey bed, take out his own age.
00:43:53Mates great in the small and let's ride
00:43:58In the circle of life
00:44:03Is the wheel of fortune
00:44:09Is the leap of faith
00:44:15Is the path of hope
00:44:20Till we find a place
00:44:26On the path unwinding
00:44:33In the circle
00:44:38Circle of life
00:44:45Oh yeah
00:44:50In the circle
00:44:55Circle of life
00:45:01Circle of life
00:45:06Circle of life
00:45:29At the beginning, the video at the back, I thought I was looking at my colonoscopy report
00:45:35Shivers
00:45:36Wow
00:45:37That was fantastic
00:45:39Now I'm not a Lion King fan
00:45:40I didn't even see it when I was a kid
00:45:43But my kid loves it
00:45:45And that was just done beautifully
00:45:47Thank you, Colin
00:45:48Very, very proud of you
00:45:49Thank you so much
00:45:50Big voice
00:45:51Fabulous work
00:45:51Excellent
00:45:52Thank you
00:45:55Have you heard the colonoscopy done, Marsha?
00:45:58Actually
00:45:58At a certain age, we've all got to get the camera
00:46:00Well
00:46:01You've got a couple of decades to go, Amos
00:46:02Oh, thank you
00:46:03Yes, she has
00:46:03So, you know, look
00:46:05I want to say, Samila
00:46:06You just sang a song from one of the most populous shows in the world
00:46:10That's just about to be played in Sydney
00:46:13Live
00:46:14Yeah, the musical
00:46:14Yes
00:46:15And it's one of...
00:46:17Actually, the first time I saw that stage show, I burst into tears
00:46:21It was so moving
00:46:22Oh, God, you're one of them
00:46:24Oh, I know I'm that person
00:46:25Oh
00:46:26Yes, I am that person
00:46:27So emotional
00:46:27And I'm so happy to be
00:46:29But that was so beautiful and emotive
00:46:31And just
00:46:32It just
00:46:33Yeah
00:46:34Yeah
00:46:35That's all I can say
00:46:35Well done to me
00:46:36Thank you so much
00:46:36Thank you
00:46:37It felt really good
00:46:39I agree
00:46:41Um
00:46:42You're like a
00:46:44You're a teleporter
00:46:45Like you've got this nostalgic
00:46:47You've got this way of just
00:46:49I mean, you did it with Dawson's Creek with me
00:46:52And then you did it
00:46:53I mean, I had a Lion King duvet
00:46:56You what?
00:46:57A Lion King...
00:46:57A Lion King...
00:46:57Yeah, honestly, a Lion King like...
00:46:59Like doing a cover
00:47:01Oh, my God
00:47:02I think I had Lion King curtains
00:47:04I was obsessed with that movie
00:47:06And you just had this way of always taking me back to these beautiful moments
00:47:10And you have no bells and whistles up there
00:47:13It's just you and you are so real
00:47:16I love...
00:47:17She had to be calling
00:47:17What else could you get?
00:47:18Stop interrupting everyone tonight
00:47:20You don't get bigger than that
00:47:22It was gorgeous
00:47:24I don't want to talk about your anal anymore, okay?
00:47:27Thank you, Amy
00:47:28Thank you, Amy
00:47:29Finally
00:47:33Hi, Ricky
00:47:34Samella, just...
00:47:36Wow
00:47:37Absolute class actor
00:47:38Tears in my eyeballs
00:47:40Yeah
00:47:41That is such a huge sing
00:47:43But you just made it, as you do with everything, look absolutely effortless
00:47:48Thank you, Ricky
00:47:48It was such a big song to sing
00:47:51And it's such an iconic song
00:47:53So I felt the pressure
00:47:55But I felt really privileged to be given that song
00:47:57And to have sung that song, so yeah
00:47:59Oh, it was such a beautiful performance
00:48:04Samella, I'm with Amy
00:48:06I am such a huge fan of the OG Lion King movie
00:48:10I was obsessed
00:48:11I used to, like, put shows on in my lounge room for my parents and my grandparents and all my
00:48:15little cousins
00:48:16And I played all the characters, they weren't allowed to do anything
00:48:19And I'm sure we all did that
00:48:20Doesn't sound like you at all, Ricky
00:48:23The Circle of Life is my absolute favourite and I cry every time I hear it
00:48:27And I had all the emotions just then
00:48:30I was really upset that no one put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh, yeah
00:48:33Where's the babies?
00:48:34Where's the baby?
00:48:35Where's the baby?
00:48:36Who's your favourite character in the movie?
00:48:39I mean, I would say Simba
00:48:41Yes
00:48:42Because I'm Sim
00:48:44You are
00:48:44I am like Simba
00:48:46Samella
00:48:47Everything the light touches in our kingdom
00:48:51Don't stop, we won't stop
00:48:52No, we'll never stop
00:48:53I don't get it, I've not seen it
00:48:55You have not seen The Lion King?
00:48:57Sit down with your son on the weekend and watch it
00:48:59You guys were at Birch, Carol and Corley
00:49:01You have a lovely house and a lovely TV nation, pop it on
00:49:04I've never seen it
00:49:05Pop it on
00:49:05Oh, please do
00:49:06Oddo will love it
00:49:07Oddo, I'm not interested nor
00:49:08You'll love it
00:49:09Next please
00:49:09Well done
00:49:10Another iconic performance from Simella
00:49:14And if you think she should stay in the competition
00:49:17Then vote for her right now
00:49:21Will she be the one that scores the judge save later in the show
00:49:25Sending her straight into the top 10?
00:49:27We'll find out a little bit later
00:49:29But let's hear it one more time for Simella
00:49:31Thank you guys, thank you
00:49:35Next, our forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh
00:49:37Jacinta performs with a heartfelt take on a song from the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan rom-com
00:49:44You've Got Mail
00:49:45Movie week continues after this short break
00:49:57Welcome back to Idol
00:49:58Up next to perform is our forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria
00:50:02And here to support her is Jacinta's mum, dad and twin sister Chantelle
00:50:07Chantelle, paint the picture
00:50:09Bacchus Marsh right now, are you feeling the love for your sister?
00:50:11Oh 100%
00:50:13Everyone from Bacchus Marsh is on board with her
00:50:15Like a news agency, cafes, radio and even festivals that she's performed at in the past
00:50:20Everyone's giving so much support and it's truly a blessing to be honest
00:50:24How good is that? The whole town
00:50:26Yeah
00:50:26Alright well for movie week, Jacinta chose a song from the 90s rom-com
00:50:30You've Got Mail
00:50:31And boy, she's been getting some mail
00:50:33Lots and lots of notes, emails, beautiful messages and support backing her all the way
00:50:46This is Jacinta
00:50:50What a transformation
00:50:51You're unstoppable now babe, let's go
00:50:54Being in the top 12 is surreal
00:50:57I am starting to feel like my day-to-day life is somewhat of a famous person
00:51:02But I just feel like regular Jacinta, you know
00:51:06I've had a lot of people reach out to me
00:51:09A lot of really lovely comments
00:51:11Go Jacinta, do it for the forklift girlie
00:51:14You kick me
00:51:17Seeing you own who you are makes me feel confident
00:51:19And makes me want to be myself even when it's scary
00:51:22I spent a lot of my life alone
00:51:24And not really having anyone understand me
00:51:28That's really special
00:51:29So if I can inspire and encourage others to know that they have a place
00:51:34Then I think that's probably the most special thing
00:51:38It's movie week
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:39What are you singing this week?
00:51:41So I'm singing Dreams by the Cranberries from the film You've Got Mail
00:51:45Amazing, I love this song
00:51:47Right now I am living my dreams
00:51:49And this song is a celebration of that
00:51:52All my life
00:51:56This song starts really soft
00:51:58Which is what people are used to hearing from me
00:52:00In every possible way
00:52:05And then it hits that build
00:52:07And that intensity
00:52:08And it requires me to really vocally bring it
00:52:12Okay, cool
00:52:14That's probably not your strongest
00:52:17I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:20I know it's a scary thing because you're so used to singing in a certain place
00:52:25But in this moment, that's when the bands are lifting
00:52:28We need you to not disappear into the band either
00:52:31My biggest concern is not fully opening up vocally
00:52:36If I get lost and swallowed up by the band
00:52:39The performance will fall flat
00:52:40Got to keep the intensity of that
00:52:42Because you got there and then you went
00:52:43Yeah
00:52:44I want to do it for the people
00:52:46I'm inspiring
00:52:46I can't let these people down
00:52:48They will be at the forefront when I perform
00:52:56All my light
00:53:00Is changing every day
00:53:04In every possible way
00:53:13And all my dreams
00:53:17It's never quite as it seems
00:53:21Never quite as it seems
00:53:25I know I felt like this before
00:53:31But now I'm feeling it even more
00:53:36Because it came from you
00:53:59I know I felt like this before
00:54:05But now I'm feeling it even more
00:54:09Because it came from you
00:54:18And all my life is changing every day
00:54:26And every part of the way
00:54:35And all my dreams
00:54:39It's never quite as it seems
00:54:43Because you're gonna dream to me
00:54:47Dream to me
00:55:06That's like one of my favourite songs
00:55:09I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries play
00:55:11Like one of the last times they played in this country
00:55:14And it was funny because obviously Dolores' voice is so different and iconic
00:55:20And it really made sense for you to do something like that
00:55:24I was worried
00:55:25It's just such a big song to tackle
00:55:27I was worried in the big notes
00:55:29But you really are such an individual
00:55:34And you've just got this voice that I want it to stay
00:55:37I could just listen to you in that register
00:55:40That sort of lower register all day
00:55:42I was worried about when you took on the high notes there
00:55:45But I just love what you're about
00:55:47And I think Australia loves what you're about
00:55:49So keep going
00:55:51Keep challenging yourself
00:55:52You should be proud
00:55:59I'll just say this
00:56:00I met Dolores way back in the day
00:56:02With she and her husband
00:56:03A very unusual human being
00:56:05That's why she sang that way
00:56:07You know, I think she lived an incredibly tortured life
00:56:10I think you chose well with the song
00:56:14I think the big notes really kind of tripped you up a bit
00:56:18You know
00:56:19Tell me, talk to me
00:56:20How did you feel about the big notes?
00:56:24Um, yeah, I mean
00:56:26Doing the big notes
00:56:27I think was
00:56:28Not only me stepping out vocally
00:56:31But like physically and mentally
00:56:33And it's so hard to like
00:56:35Sorry
00:56:36It's so hard to break
00:56:39From those walls
00:56:45It's like I'm fighting myself
00:56:47But Jacinta, you know
00:56:48It's kind of like
00:56:49You know, you go hard or you go home
00:56:51Okay
00:56:51So like if you're going to sing a song like that
00:56:54And you want to sing a song like that
00:56:56I have no problem with it
00:56:57But you find your own interpretation
00:57:00With the instructions that
00:57:02That Carmen gives you, you know
00:57:03And so
00:57:04When a note doesn't feel right in you
00:57:07Guess what?
00:57:08It's not right
00:57:10Okay
00:57:10So I think you did a very good job
00:57:13Don't cry, honey
00:57:14Sorry
00:57:14I'm not
00:57:15No, don't be sorry
00:57:16But I'm not here to tear you down either
00:57:18I'm here to encourage you
00:57:19Okay
00:57:20Of course
00:57:20So when you sing
00:57:22You sing for yourself
00:57:23And sing to the best of your ability
00:57:25You know, you're worried about the band drawing you out
00:57:27You don't let no band drawing you out, honey
00:57:29You sing on top of the band
00:57:31You sing through the band if you're able
00:57:32Okay
00:57:33But I think you did a good job
00:57:35But don't cry
00:57:36No need
00:57:37Thank you
00:57:37You're welcome
00:57:46Okay, real talk
00:57:47What's going on?
00:57:48Yeah
00:57:48Are you alright?
00:57:49Yeah, I'm good
00:57:50What's going on?
00:57:51Sorry, guys
00:57:52Be honest
00:57:52Just sit me with the headline
00:57:54What's going on?
00:57:55Um, anxiety
00:57:56A lot of anxiety
00:57:58Yeah
00:57:58I understand
00:57:59Yeah
00:57:59You know what?
00:58:00This business
00:58:01Nearly every person you see on TV
00:58:03Or on stage
00:58:04Or in films
00:58:05Nearly everyone
00:58:07Has got anxiety
00:58:08Yeah
00:58:08This will shock you
00:58:10Welcome to the anxiety ridden business
00:58:13We're all riddled with it
00:58:14Where every bastard's got the anxiety
00:58:16Except for me
00:58:19And you'd think
00:58:20After this week
00:58:21Why hasn't he got anxiety?
00:58:24I just don't have it
00:58:25I'm lucky
00:58:25But I know about it
00:58:27I've dealt with artists before
00:58:29I've dealt with partners before
00:58:30That have had anxiety
00:58:32You nailed it
00:58:33When you're up there
00:58:34You don't see it
00:58:35You cloaked it
00:58:36Um
00:58:37I think we've seen you perform better
00:58:39But I love your voice
00:58:41I do think that's a great song
00:58:43That
00:58:44The anxiety
00:58:45We can't see it
00:58:46Okay
00:58:46Until you cried
00:58:47I didn't even know
00:58:48So whatever little shower curtain
00:58:50You've got hanging up from the roof there
00:58:51That was enough to mask it
00:58:54So you're killing it
00:58:55Don't let anxiety swallow you up
00:58:57Don't let it
00:58:58Don't let it win
00:59:08You know what the most amazing thing though was to see
00:59:11Is to see
00:59:11I feel like this is a little bit of a representation of what you've been feeling
00:59:15And to see you walk out and into the light
00:59:17Was the most incredibly beautiful thing
00:59:19And you are doing such an incredible job
00:59:21That was a stunning performance
00:59:23Anything
00:59:23You are our fabulous forklift driver
00:59:31How was that performance for you
00:59:32I know the judges had a lot to say
00:59:34You guys had a
00:59:34Had a little chat
00:59:35But how did it feel
00:59:36That performance for you
00:59:39It felt
00:59:40Parts of it felt good
00:59:41And then parts of that
00:59:42I felt like I was a bit trapped
00:59:43I was scared to take that step
00:59:45Because for me
00:59:46I feel like taking that step
00:59:47Is now like
00:59:48Like this is it
00:59:49Like you can't go back into that box
00:59:51Like
00:59:52So I think it was just a bit overwhelming
00:59:54Taking that step
00:59:55Yeah
00:59:55But you did it
00:59:56And that's what this show is all about
01:00:04Now Jacinta
01:00:05We saw in your video package
01:00:07All those letters coming in
01:00:08Kyle's doing the forklift driving
01:00:11All the forklift drivers
01:00:13From around the country
01:00:14Are really getting behind you
01:00:15How does it make you feel
01:00:17When you see that support
01:00:19That's going to make you feel
01:00:21Yeah
01:00:21It makes me feel
01:00:22It makes me feel really whole
01:00:24And really blessed
01:00:25And really grateful
01:00:26That people are backing me
01:00:28In that way
01:00:28Like you can't
01:00:29You can't put a price on that
01:00:31You focus on that
01:00:32And that's the good
01:00:33In what this business is
01:00:34You find your people
01:00:35And your supporters
01:00:36And the people that love you
01:00:37And you listen to them
01:00:38And if you want to make sure
01:00:40Jacinta stays in the competition

01:00:59All right
01:01:00Well we have come to the end
01:01:02Of the performances for tonight
01:01:04That means it's time for our judges
01:01:06To deliberate on who they'll save
01:01:07From the public vote
01:01:08And send directly into the top 10
01:01:11That Mission Impossible
01:01:13Is coming up
01:01:14Don't go anywhere
01:01:24Welcome back
01:01:25All tonight's idols have performed
01:01:27And shortly the judges
01:01:28Must make the tough decision
01:01:30On who they will save
01:01:32From the viewer vote
01:01:33And send directly
01:01:34Into the top 10
01:01:35Carl
01:01:36You guys are finding it
01:01:37Really tough tonight
01:01:38Aren't you
01:01:39Because everyone has stepped up
01:01:40Well nearly everyone
01:01:42Has stepped up tonight
01:01:43I think
01:01:44It's obvious who hasn't
01:01:45But it's still anyone's game
01:01:47It's anyone's contest
01:01:48This is the hardest part
01:01:50And a lot of people's favourites
01:01:52Every week someone goes home
01:01:53Unfortunately
01:01:54Yeah it is the hard part
01:01:56Now while they hash it out
01:01:57Let's check in
01:01:59On what your top 12
01:02:00Have been up to this week
01:02:01It hasn't just been rehearsals
01:02:03Far from it
01:02:04They've been living
01:02:05The full idol experience
01:02:07Flashing cameras
01:02:09Luxury rides
01:02:10Recording studios
01:02:11And VIP events
01:02:12They have stepped into the spotlight
01:02:14And totally owned it
01:02:18Top 12's insane
01:02:20I feel like there's just
01:02:22Always something that's going on
01:02:24Today we are getting
01:02:25The best opportunities
01:02:27Like workshops with Sony
01:02:29Workshops with the Annex
01:02:31Recording studio with the Hive
01:02:33It is just like creme de la creme
01:02:36Top 12 everyone
01:02:37Yeah I mean the fact
01:02:38We're travelling
01:02:39And riding in a limo
01:02:41I feel luxurious
01:02:43Has anyone never been
01:02:44In a limo before?
01:02:46Not me
01:02:49We've all been travelling
01:02:50Around by limo
01:02:51Which has been crazy
01:02:52And now we're at
01:02:52Sony Music Publishing
01:02:53And we're doing
01:02:54The songwriting course
01:02:55Love the orange
01:02:57Sony is really really proud
01:02:59To be looking after people
01:03:00Like Sia
01:03:01Five seconds of summer
01:03:03ACDC
01:03:04I'm feeling so, so damn lucky
01:03:06To be here
01:03:07For this private songwriting workshop
01:03:09Such a blessing
01:03:09I think just write what you want to write
01:03:11And say what you want to say
01:03:12That's always the ultimate goal
01:03:14When it comes to writing a song
01:03:15Is how can we make your experience
01:03:17Come alive
01:03:18I never had this kind of expertise
01:03:21Or this kind of like knowledge
01:03:22About the industry
01:03:22So much before Idle
01:03:25We're heading to the Annex
01:03:27To the social media workshop
01:03:28Social media is still new to me
01:03:30Because I only recently
01:03:31Just got a phone
01:03:32So your phone is a direct connection
01:03:34To growing your audience
01:03:35So that when people land
01:03:37They immediately can get
01:03:38An understanding of who you are
01:03:39There is a lot to learn
01:03:41Got to keep up with these Gen Z's
01:03:43Working on the gram
01:03:45Working on the ticky tock
01:03:47We're on the way to the studio
01:03:51We are at the Hive Studios
01:03:53Now we're going to record
01:03:55The top 12 single
01:03:56Who's Excited?
01:04:01I've definitely got a taste
01:04:02Of what being a recording artist
01:04:03Could be
01:04:04And I will do whatever it takes
01:04:05For this to be my life
01:04:09This is such a good look
01:04:11Into the music industry
01:04:12Seeing how it all works
01:04:13Has really made me want this
01:04:15Even more
01:04:15Well done guys
01:04:16I think we've got it
01:04:22How cool is all of that
01:04:24You don't come on idle
01:04:26Just to sing
01:04:27You're getting real world experience
01:04:29Working with industry professionals
01:04:31It's such a great way
01:04:33To boost your career
01:04:33No matter where you place
01:04:35In the competition
01:04:36Amy and Marsha
01:04:37It's true though right
01:04:38An artist has to work
01:04:39So hard on their craft
01:04:41To make it in this business
01:04:43It's not easy
01:04:44But it's worth it
01:04:45Because you're creating
01:04:46Your brand
01:04:47You have to work hard
01:04:48I mean I always say
01:04:49This is a great
01:04:50Great platform
01:04:51For people who want
01:04:52To be in the industry
01:04:53But once you're here
01:04:55People know you
01:04:56So you've got to bang on doors
01:04:57Yeah a lot of like
01:04:58Discipline and sacrifices
01:05:00Yes
01:05:01Anything to sort of
01:05:03Yeah make the dream come alive
01:05:04Absolutely
01:05:05I mean you two are the perfect example
01:05:06Of that still
01:05:07Like still banging down doors
01:05:09Still killing it
01:05:09Still doing your thing
01:05:10It never ends
01:05:11You've got a gig

01:06:56Giving them immunity
01:06:58From the nationwide vote
01:07:00It could be the idol
01:07:01They believe
01:07:02Was the best on the night
01:07:03Or someone they think
01:07:04Deserves a second chance
