00:13This is...
00:15Australia!
00:30G'day Australia, I'm Rikki Lee.
00:33And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:35And this crowd tonight is going off!
00:39So good.
00:40Wow!
00:41This week, your idols will have a crack at iconic Aussie bangers.
00:46From pub anthems to you, butte, chart-toppers.
00:49We're talking John Farnham, Kylie, Crowded House, Tones and I, The Kid Leroy and many more.
00:56With a line-up stacked with classics, the stakes are higher than ever as your idols fight to stay in
01:03the competition.
01:04But before we go any further, let's bring out the legends who will be calling the shots tonight.
01:08It's your Australian Idol judges!
01:18Kyle Sanderland!
01:21Marsha Himes!
01:22And Amy Shaw!
01:25Wow!
01:51Good evening, judges!
01:55Alright, so tonight, you'll see the first half of your top ten perform for your votes.
02:01And tomorrow night, the remaining five idols will hit the stage.
02:05Then, on Tuesday, we are 100% live with our top ten verdict show where one idol from each heat
02:12will go home.
02:14And remember, the judges still have a very special power.
02:17At the end of each show, after everyone has performed, they have a save to award to one lucky idol,
02:24sending them directly into the top eight by passing the public vote.
02:27And it can really shake things up.
02:30Oh, yeah.
02:30Marsha, tonight, it is all Aussie music, all night long.
02:35Yes.
02:35How cool is that?
02:36I think it's great and it sort of shows you how strong the Australian music industry is and what incredible
02:41performers we have and we are having.
02:44Amy.
02:45Yeah, 100%.
02:46Well, Amy, from thousands, we're down to just the top ten at this stage of the competition.
02:51It is about playing it safe or taking risks.
02:54What artist has ever made it by playing it safe?
02:57Absolutely.
02:57No one.
02:57I mean, Ricky has ridden a horse naked in a hold.
03:00I did do that.
03:01I did do that.
03:02Yes.
03:02Is that on YouTube?
03:03It is.
03:04There is.
03:04Yes.
03:05Yes.
03:05There's a children-friendly version and then there is a Kyle-friendly version.
03:12I think I'll just answer it with take some risks.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Absolutely.
03:17I agree.
03:18What do you want to say?
03:19Kyle, if you were up here for Aussie Week, what song would you sing?
03:25Oh, I heard the ad where there's Farnham, there's someone singing your song.
03:30I was just like, yes, yes, yes.
03:32Every artist I heard, I was like, yes.
03:34But what about Hoodoo Gurus?
03:36It's been a while since we've heard from the Hoodoo.
03:38Only the old people.
03:39These kids are like, the what?
03:40The who?
03:41What is that?
03:42The Hoodoo Gurus.
03:43The Booboos.
03:44That's what they heard.
03:45They did.
03:46They did.
03:47All right, we'll take into the stage tonight, our 17-year-old Johnny Jukebox from Barkley
03:53W.
03:55Central Coast Landscaper Kalani.
03:58And our fabulous forklift driver Jacinta from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria.
04:04Last, our rocking barber from Ballarat, Harry.
04:08And Kesha, our singing skier from Jindaby.
04:13If you want to keep your favourite idol in the competition, simply text their name to the
04:18number on the screen.
04:20Voting is open now.
04:22Thanks to the all-new JQ, J5, EV, powering electric idol performances.
04:27You have 10 votes per phone number.
04:30You can go all in on one idol or spread them out.
04:33But it's 10 votes.
04:34Your call.
04:35Okay, well, let's kick things off for our first idol of the night from Bumbury in Western
04:41Australia.
04:42This is John.
04:53Good day, mate.
04:54It's Aussie week on Australian Idol.
04:56Let's go give it a crack.
04:57Guys, are we excited for the barbecue?
05:00Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
05:03Having a barbie with the top 10 reminds me of this summer.
05:06Just the fun summertime vibes.
05:08Oh, top 10.
05:11Guys, that'll be excited for the barbie.
05:15How good is the snack, guys?
05:17Yeah.
05:1810 out of 10.
05:19For Aussie week this week, I will be singing none other than In the Summertime by Thirsty
05:23Mac.
05:24Hello.
05:25How's it going, man?
05:27Good.
05:28Hi, J. Good going.
05:30Good to see you.
05:32We've actually got a surprise for you.
05:36Hey, Johnny.
05:37This is Ray Thistlethwaite from the band Thirsty Merc.
05:40Very honoured that you've chosen to do this song.
05:43And, yeah, I hope you go really, really well in everything and keep up the good work.
05:49Oh, my goodness.
05:51Thirsty Merc sent me a message, a personalised message to me.
05:56Oh, it's so crazy.
05:57I don't know how to say anything.
05:59Well, he'll be watching for sure.
06:01It's so exciting, but it's definitely put a lot more pressure on me knowing he's going
06:05to be watching to nail this performance.
06:07I was just thinking the start of the song, maybe slowing it down, like, take me back to
06:15the sweet times.
06:18Like, a barbershop vibe.
06:20My version is so different to the original.
06:23It's a huge risk, so we hope Australia likes it and votes.
06:29Take...
06:30Well, let's restart that.
06:34Take, take, take...
06:36If the version of this song that I'm doing doesn't work and doesn't connect to the audience,
06:41this performance could be my last.
06:49Take me back to the sweet times, the happy nights, when everything is gonna be all right in the summertime.
07:00Baby, in the summertime, that is where I'll be.
07:18Don't have a job, I never liked them.
07:24I just want to play in the sunshine.
07:30They said I was wrong, but I know better.
07:37I live my life like I'm dying.
07:43Give me a chance, I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance.
07:50When winter comes, I'll turn around, take me back to the sweet times, the happy nights, when everything is gonna
08:00be all right in the summertime.
08:04Baby, in the summertime, baby, in the summertime, and you and your five, two and two.
08:09Next year, I don't care, all I know is I'll meet you there in the summertime.
08:15Baby, in the summertime, baby, in the summertime, that is where I'll be.
08:25Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime, that is where I'll be.
08:48Oh, Johnny Jukebox.
09:00I love this bloke.
09:01What a way to kick off the show, man.
09:03Far out.
09:06I love that signature high note that you do sometimes, it's just so entertaining, you're so effortless up there.
09:13We love it, it sounds like everyone loves it.
09:15The screams for you are deafening.
09:17Well done, man, that was another brilliant performance.
09:21Thank you so much.
09:23Johnny, actually, just quickly, did I hear that you missed your school dance or something tonight to be here?
09:30Yes, my school form was on tonight.
09:32Oh my god, you're formal?
09:34Yeah.
09:34Wow, that's commitment.
09:36That's commitment.
09:36What's a better place to be than here?
09:38The best excuse as well.
09:41Really cool.
09:43Great choice on your part.
09:45Thirsty and Murak, they're fun, they're musical, and I love that you've introduced that song to an audience that don't
09:52know them.
09:53Well done, darling.
09:54Thank you so much.
09:55You're welcome, Johnny.
09:56You're welcome, Johnny.
09:59You know what I like about you?
10:01That you're a young, wholesome, fun, just a nice energy guy.
10:06Like, you're not trying to be cool, you're not trying to be a badass, you're just a nice, likeable, fun,
10:11hugely entertaining young man.
10:13And my auntie loves you too.
10:15And if an auntie and the young ones are loving you, you pretty much nailed it in between.
10:20Now, you're 17, right?
10:22Yes.
10:23So, those high notes, you've got about six months left before you've got to realise, before you're going to be
10:27down here like this somewhere.
10:29So, just play in that area, because it does happen to all young men that their voice breaks at some
10:34stage.
10:34Just work through it, work around it, get vocal coaches.
10:37But what I saw tonight was fantastic.
10:40Thank you so much.
10:44Yeah.
10:46Johnny's going to be doing some Barry White next week, when it finally happens.
10:51Johnny Jukebox, you brought your 50s flair to an Aussie fave.
10:56How was that for you?
10:57Because we loved it.
10:59I love it so much.
11:01Like, it's, I'm living my dream right now, and it's all coming true.
11:07It's crazy for me to think about, but thank you all so much for really getting behind me,
11:11and thank you to Australia for getting me this far.
11:14It really means so much.
11:15Oh, my.
11:19John, those.
11:20Those high-pitched squeals in this place when you hit the stage are like nothing we have ever heard before.
11:27It's insane.
11:28How are you going with all of this extra attention?
11:31I guess I'm soaking them up, because it doesn't happen that often.
11:36But I'm loving it so much.
11:38In fact, I'm really enjoying putting these young, no, putting, what am I saying?
11:44Putting the older songs to the young people, and I think they're taking it very well.
11:48And I'm pleased just, like, let's keep going.
11:51I've got so much more to show.
11:52What do you guys think of Johnny's performance tonight?
11:58Wow.
12:01Thanks so much, guys.
12:03Now, Johnny, up in the audience tonight, we have your support crew cheering you on.
12:07We've got your mum, Jasmine.
12:09Jasmine, it feels like just a second ago he was your average teenager,
12:13and now he is up on this stage, absolutely crushing it like a superstar.
12:17How do you feel?
12:18I know.
12:19Honestly, it just felt like the other day it was our little John running around the house,
12:23singing at the top of his voice, and his siblings telling him to shush.
12:27And now he's Johnny Jukebox, an Australian Idol.
12:30We're just so, so proud of him.
12:33Like, every day he tells us how much he's loving this experience
12:39and everything he's learning.
12:40He's definitely not ready to go home.
12:42So, please, Australia, vote for John, our friends in Adelaide,
12:47the community of Burberry.
12:48Give it to John!
12:50I love this.
12:51She's campaigning.
12:52She's going to take my job next.
12:53If you want to see John sing again next week, you have to vote.
12:58Text JOHN to 0457 500 700 to make sure he secures a place in next week's show.
13:06Remember, you have 10 votes per phone voting period.
13:10Let's hear those screams again for Johnny Jukebox!
13:18Up next, Kalani, our Central Coast landscaper,
13:23is taking on a chart-topping smash hit
13:25that's considered to be one of the greatest songs of all time
13:28with over one billion streams and counting.
13:32No pressure at all, Kalani, all right?
13:34See that and more when Idol returns after the break.
13:48Welcome back.
13:49It's Aussie Week on Idol,
13:50and our top ten are singing Pure Aussie Anthem for your votes.
13:54Next to hit the stage is our landscaper
13:56from the central coast of New South Wales.
13:59This is Kalani.
14:12The Australian Idol schedule is super busy.
14:16It's a very tough competition,
14:17so I don't get a lot of time to get in the water,
14:20but any chance I get, I'm there.
14:24Surfing has always been a part of who I am
14:26growing up around the beach.
14:30Whenever I'm in the ocean,
14:31I get to find a sense of clarity,
14:32which tends to help a lot when I'm on stage.
14:41After the top 12 performance,
14:43Amy did have a comment to keep surprising people.
14:45Keep trying to find those pockets and moments
14:48to almost shock us because, unfortunately,
14:51it is a competition.
14:52I don't want you to get forgotten.
14:53I agree with her.
14:55I need to show that I'm not just a one-trick pony.
14:57So this week, that is what I'll be working on.
15:00Aussie Music Week.
15:01Aussie Music Week.
15:02It's like, yes.
15:02What's your song?
15:03Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.
15:05It's a classic.
15:06He's got his guitar today.
15:08Got the guitar back, yeah.
15:09All right.
15:10Add a bit of sauce.
15:11Yeah, I love it.
15:13Playing with the guitar is going to elevate my performance
15:15because it shows that I'm not just a singer,
15:17but I can perform in other ways as well.
15:18When I watch you, you have a very calm,
15:21kind of cool exterior,
15:23but I know that you feel deeply
15:26because I can just tell by the way that you sing.
15:29But I was just like, I want to see it on his face.
15:32I think this is really a moment for you to connect,
15:35especially eye contact.
15:36I'm not just singing this song.
15:38I'm storytelling.
15:39And I hate now, don't dream it's over.
15:45I can't use the guitar as a shield to hide behind.
15:48It was very important for me to be present
15:51and connect in this performance.
15:53I think it's time to just lock in now.
15:55Yeah.
15:55Especially for you.
15:56Especially after Amy's comments as well.
15:59Definitely, yeah.
16:00Yeah, yeah.
16:00I think it's very important to keep people hooked.
16:03It's up to the public now,
16:04so I've got to show that I can do more
16:07than just stand there and sing.
16:14There is freedom within.
16:18There is freedom without.
16:20Trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup.
16:27There's a battle ahead.
16:30Many battles are lost.
16:33But you'll never see the end of the road
16:35while you're traveling with me.
16:39And I hate now, don't dream it's over.
16:46And I hate now, when the world comes in.
16:52They'll come, they'll come
16:54To build a war between us.
16:58We know that they won't win.
17:05Now I'm torn in my car.
17:08There's a hole in the room.
17:10My possessions are causing me suspicion,
17:13but there's no truth.
17:27And I hate now, don't dream it's over.
17:35And I hate now, when the world comes in.
17:40And they'll come, they'll come
17:44To build a war between us.
17:47We know that they won't win.
17:52Now I hate now, don't dream it's over.
18:00They'll come, they'll come
18:02To build a war between us.
18:06We know that they won't win.
18:14Thank you so much.
18:20Thanks, guys.
18:29You know, Uncle Lani,
18:32you've got a beautiful voice,
18:33but I've not heard you open up your voice like that before.
18:38And gosh, that's a nice place where you just placed it.
18:41And that happens to be one of my favorite songs.
18:43So what can I say?
18:45But yeah, well done.
18:46Thank you so much.
18:46I appreciate that.
18:48Thanks a lot.
18:50Oh, Uncle Lani.
18:51I mean, thank you for taking my feedback so seriously.
18:54Yeah.
18:55I wish other people would.
18:55Of course.
18:56What was your feedback?
18:57No, I'm sorry.
18:57I'm joking.
19:00You're perfect without a guitar.
19:02You're perfect with a guitar.
19:04You just look like you are having so much fun up there.
19:07It still doesn't look like a job.
19:09It just looks like this is something this guy
19:11was put on this earth to do.
19:13Oh, wow.
19:14And I just could watch you for hours.
19:16And I can't wait for you to put out albums
19:18because you just sound like heaven.
19:20That was magical.
19:21Thank you so much.
19:22That was so magical.
19:23That means everything.
19:25I had a lot of fun.
19:31You're a little sexy bastard too, aren't you?
19:34I've got nothing on you, mate.
19:36Up there like Harry Styles.
19:39The girls love it.
19:41But great song choice.
19:43Magic is the exact word I would use to describe.
19:46Well done, Amy.
19:47That is.
19:47It was magical.
19:48And at the end, everyone was just with you there.
19:52It felt like I was in one of those, you know,
19:54those sort of regional churches where everyone's singing
19:57and it's all about love.
19:59I felt love.
20:00I felt that was fantastic, man.
20:02Amazing, mate.
20:02Good luck tonight, buddy.
20:03Thanks a lot.
20:03Good luck.
20:04Cheers.
20:07Hello.
20:08That was beautiful, Kalani.
20:09Thank you so much.
20:10Wow.
20:10Massive performance.
20:12The crowded house in here loved it too.
20:14Didn't you?
20:14Ah, man, man.
20:18So corny.
20:19Nana Sue loved it too.
20:21Look at her up there looking very, very proud.
20:24Hi, Nana Sue.
20:26Kalani, how do you feel after that performance?
20:28Look, I love that song.
20:30I try and play that song all the time.
20:33It's one of my favourites to play.
20:34So, you know, I hope that that showed in that performance.
20:38And, yeah, I'm honoured to be able to sing that song on a show like this
20:41and give my rendition.
20:42But, yeah, just so much fun.
20:44Love you guys.
20:45And thank you, all my friends and family out the back there,
20:48just for giving me an opportunity, you know,
20:51to pursue my dreams.
20:54And, yeah, just it's everything.
20:56So thanks, guys.
20:57Love yous all.
20:58Beautiful.
20:58Now, Kalani, we did see in your video that you love the great Aussie
21:02pastime surfing.
21:04Is it true you were named after a pro surfer?
21:06Yes, it is true.
21:08It is true.
21:08I was named after a Hawaiian surfer called Kalani Rob, actually.
21:12Ah, old mate.
21:13Old mate, yeah.
21:14Old mate Kalani.
21:15I don't know if Mum had much of a choice, to be honest.
21:18Dad's sort of diehard surfer.
21:20And he was like, yep, Kalani it is.
21:22Love it, love it.
21:23So your dad is into surfing.
21:25Does he, like, does he sing as well?
21:27Oh, you know what's hilarious?
21:29I grew up for, like, ten years of my life with him.
21:35He's laughing because he's like, no, don't say it.
21:38He told me he was in the top ten of Australian Idol
21:41for a lot of my early upbringing until I was about ten years old.
21:45And I believed it.
21:47I believed it until, you know.
21:50Like yesterday?
21:51Yeah, until yesterday.
21:54Oh, wow.
21:55But, yeah, no.
21:56Full stitcher.
21:56Well, he's inspired you to be here on this very stage.
21:59Exactly, that's right, yeah.
22:00Even if it was a sit-up, it was very well done.
22:03He's not a singer, though.
22:04Not a singer, okay.
22:07If you want Kalani to ride the wave into the top eight,
22:10you've got to vote Australia.
22:12Text Kalani right now.
22:14Or will he be the lucky one that scores the judges' save,
22:17helping him skip the public vote?
22:19We will find out at the end of the show.
22:22But for now, please, give it up for Kalani.
22:29On the other side of the break gets our forklift driver
22:33from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta,
22:35and she's taking on a song from Aussie pop princess,
22:38Kylie Minogue.
22:40Don't go anywhere.
22:41Idol is back in a moment.
22:56You're locked on Idol, where it's all Aussie music
23:00all the way, all for your vote.
23:02Next on the playlist is a song from one of the biggest stars
23:05this country has ever produced.
23:08I'm talking 18 ARIA Awards, Grammys, and global hit records.
23:13Kylie Minogue is an absolute legend,
23:16and taking on one of her most iconic hits
23:18is our fabulous forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh.
23:22This is Jacinta.
23:33Welcome to the top ten.
23:35Yes, top ten.
23:36Woo-hoo!
23:37It feels really cool to be in the top ten.
23:40Oh, I'm excited.
23:41You should be excited.
23:42You're in the top ten.
23:43My cheeks, I feel like, are so chiseled
23:45from the amount of smiling I've been doing.
23:48Aussie music way?
23:49Mm-hmm.
23:50What song are you singing?
23:51I'm singing On a Night Like This by Kylie Minogue.
23:54My dad is the biggest Kylie Minogue fan.
23:56Oh, really?
23:57He loves Kylie.
23:58We grew up listening to Kylie.
24:00On The Sing Star, we'd always sing Kylie as well.
24:02Dad has always supported me, no matter what.
24:06And I believe I have one of the best families.
24:09They are my biggest supporters, ride or die.
24:11They are the best people on the planet.
24:14Definitely massive connection to this song.
24:16Your dad has great taste.
24:17Yes.
24:17This is one of the classics.
24:20Dad will definitely be shedding a tear listening to this performance.
24:29I saw a glimpse of the disco fun in you.
24:32Yeah.
24:33I just would love to see more.
24:35This is a bit of a challenge for you.
24:38Yeah, definitely.
24:39Yeah.
24:39The song is upbeat and fast, which is not what I normally sing at all.
24:43So it's going to challenge me.
24:44I'm hoping to, like, connect with the crowd along here.
24:48I do want to, like, dance with them and party with them, you know?
24:51Yeah, Jacinta.
24:51In my quirky, odd little way.
24:53I think I'm going to be channeling sing-star Jacinta, who, you know, would sing Kylie on sing-star and
24:58just not have a care in the world.
25:02I've shown Australia the emotional side of myself.
25:04So now showing the fun side is a whole other side.
25:08If I don't have fun, no one else is going to have fun.
25:10And it'll just be one of those performances that's going to be forgettable.
25:21And it'll just be one of those performances that's going to be fun.
25:44I want you, just like I've always known you.
25:51On a night like this, I want to stay forever.
25:59On a night like this, just want to be together.
26:06On a night like this.
26:23On a night like this.
26:33On a night like this.
26:36Stay forever, on a night like this
26:45Just wanna be together, together
26:50On a night like this, I wanna stay forever
26:56On a night like this, just wanna be together
27:05On a night like this
27:22Hi Jacinta, nice work
27:24You know what I like about you, every time you come out
27:26it's always surprising because you seem to nail every genre that you take on
27:31and I thought, hmm, how's she gonna be with this Kylie thing
27:34and you just sort of invoked that disco prancing type of artist
27:39and I thought it was remarkable
27:41I thought you did a great job
27:42Thank you
27:43You still look a little nervous strutting around
27:46but I like that you're giving it a go
27:48Yes
27:49And practice makes perfect
27:51Strut, own that stage, the vocals great, nice song choice
27:55You did your dad proud
27:56Thank you, thank you so much
28:02Jacinta, you were really freaking out about opening up notes
28:06the last time you performed for us
28:08Look what you just did
28:10You opened up the notes and that was great
28:12You can do this
28:14Yes, thank you
28:15Okay, well done Jacinta, well done
28:17Thank you Marcia
28:18I don't think we've ever seen someone like grow so much on this show before
28:25Like I just always think about your audition and your hoodie
28:28and just coming in and we just saw something super special
28:31You know honestly the hoodie looked like it was from Lost and Found, that hoodie
28:35Like it's a transformation
28:38It is
28:38Yeah, it's just incredible
28:40And then to watch you tonight I was just like so proud of you
28:43for like really taking everything on and it was a good song choice for you
28:48because Kylie has that sort of soft sound as well
28:51So you put your spin on it and I just think
28:53I think you should be really proud of that
28:55as well as your dad with big Kylie fan
28:57Yeah
28:59Nice work
28:59Thank you so much Amy
29:00Thank you
29:02Jacinta, Ricky
29:03Great comments from the judges
29:05The crowd absolutely loved it
29:08How did that feel?
29:09It felt really good
29:10Yeah
29:10Yeah, I mean it is scary
29:12I'm so used to just like standing in the one spot when I performed
29:15That's the most I've ever moved
29:16But you know having the crowd
29:18And you guys and my family
29:20Just really you know made it that much better
29:22So I loved it
29:23Thanks guys
29:27Now Jacinta
29:28We know you as the forklift driver
29:31Our fabulous forklift driver
29:33And I've noticed on socials
29:35It's really becoming a thing that people do
29:37People are doing the Jacinta forklift driver moves
29:40It's really people are doing
29:41Kyle's at it
29:42Everyone's doing it
29:42Look
29:45Everyone's doing the move
29:47That's not a very good angle there
29:48It doesn't look like I'm
29:51I am actually doing a forklift maneuver
29:53You're doing this
29:54It's a circular motion
29:55From the wrong angle
29:56That doesn't
29:59Well Australia
30:00If you loved that performance
30:01And want to see Jacinta in the top 8
30:04Then you have to vote for her Australia

31:43Tomorrow these 5 will sing for your votes
31:46Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu, Trey and Samela
31:48The pressure is off all of you tonight
31:51And is well and truly on for our next singer
31:53Harry is the barber from Ballarat
31:56Who rocks the stage every time he performs
31:58Let's see how he's prepared for Aussie week
32:09It's Aussie week here at Idol
32:10The Top 10
32:11It's super exciting
32:12I've been really lucky to sort of travel around Australia
32:15And see how diverse our landscape is
32:17And how diverse the people are
32:18When I was 18 I started building camper vans
32:21And driving around for gigs
32:25I've played in tiny little venues
32:27And massive auditoriums
32:28Everywhere really
32:31For Aussie week I'm singing White Noise by The Living End
32:34I really think I need to bring my drive into this song
32:37Because I feel like I've got the vocals there
32:39But I just feel like I look so nervous on stage
32:41And I really want to be able to control that
32:43All that I'm hearing from you
32:46Being in the bottom 2 definitely kind of shook my confidence a little bit
32:49That's what's driving me this week
32:50To kind of not be in that position again
32:52So Harry talk to me about top 12
32:55Kyle's comment is kind of the one that stood out to me
32:59You just look too terrified every time you're up there
33:02But you've got everything that it takes
33:04You've just got to get rid of those nerves
33:07I just want to know what's stopping you from just embracing full rock and roll
33:11I think I'm a little bit nervous about going to over the top and being cringe with it
33:15Who were you worried about?
33:18I suppose growing up in regional Victoria, yeah
33:20Everyone's sort of pretty in their box a little bit
33:23And I just sort of always wanted
33:24Never wanted to sort of step too far out of my comfort zone
33:27I think you are concentrating so much on not being cringe
33:31That you're actually doing yourself a disservice
33:34I don't want you to be your own worst enemy
33:38I think I have a tendency to self-sabotage by pulling back a little bit
33:41When I think things are getting over the top
33:43I think I just need to get out of my head about it and just do it
33:46And if it's over the top, then it will be over the top
33:48You have to believe it first for everyone else
33:50Yep
33:51To believe it
33:51For sure
33:52And you don't want to look back at it going
33:54Oh, I should have done this and this and this
33:56It's all or nothing now
33:57It's so important that I give it my all
33:59Because it couldn't be my last time on stage
34:00Okay, and no more overthinking it
34:03No more overthinking it
34:04You've got to embrace it
34:05Block out the white noise
34:06Hey, you said it
34:13All that I'm hearing from you
34:16Is white noise
34:18White noise
34:19White noise
34:20White noise
34:26If it looks good, girl
34:30I'd be in trouble right now
34:33Time stands still when you're around
34:40Well, I give you all my time
34:44And you gave me all your lies
34:47Now you've just come around to say goodbye
34:55Now here we stand with our hearts in our hands
34:58Dreaming out of the light
35:02All that I hear is a message unclear
35:05What else is there to decide?
35:10All that I'm hearing from you
35:13Is white noise
35:15White noise
35:16All that I'm hearing from you
35:20Is white noise
35:21White noise
35:23The operator comes on the light
35:27He said hurry up, man
35:29Cause we ain't got no sound
35:31White noise
35:33White noise
35:37All that I'm hearing from you
35:41Is white noise
35:45White noise
35:47White noise
35:50White noise
35:51All that I'm hearing from you
35:55Is white noise
35:56White noise
36:20You know, Harry, I am so happy
36:22that you took some of the notes from Kyle
36:24because him being a sex symbol himself
36:27Very good looking one
36:28Yeah
36:29Thank you, Marsha
36:30Finally, it's being recognized
36:31Well, you know, I mean, you look so sexy
36:33and like you stood there and you stuck
36:36Somebody whistled back there
36:38Okay
36:38But, you know, you look so sexy
36:40and you sort of like
36:41and you open your shirt and stuff
36:43and yeah, baby
36:47Thank you
36:49Well done, Harry
36:50And that first note was really cool
36:53and I've said to you
36:54and I've said to you, you've got one of the best rock voices
36:56I've heard for a long time
36:57and I know it's not comfortable to do all that you did
37:00but you know what?
37:01Go hard or go home
37:03Okay?
37:04Well done
37:04Thank you
37:05Yeah, you are
37:08I know I said that last time was my favorite
37:11that you just took it up another level, man
37:14that felt really comfortable, really fun
37:17and Carmen is so right
37:18and you were, you know, focusing on being cringe
37:22it's like, who cares?
37:24If you want to be in entertainment
37:26there's no such thing as embarrassment
37:28No
37:28Because otherwise you'll just never do anything
37:30You look way cooler going for it
37:33than trying to be cool
37:35People who try to be cool don't look cool
37:37So that to me just looked like Harry up there
37:40with that epic voice
37:42really going for it and having a good time
37:44Well done, man
37:45That was really cool
37:46I really did have a great time
37:53I often say things that get me into trouble
37:57No, really?
37:58And sometimes I tell people the honest truth
38:02and they don't like hearing it
38:03Oh, Jesus
38:04And I thought that was rubbish
38:06Oh, what?
38:08I didn't like it
38:09You did everything we asked you to do
38:11I just think, like Marcia said
38:13go hard or go home
38:14Like, it's go hard or go soft
38:17You're soft
38:18You're a softer bloke
38:19You can't do that hard stuff
38:21That's where I think the problem is
38:23That whole angsty stuff
38:25You're a nicer guy than that
38:26Are we having a pile?
38:29Is it a case that you don't like the song?
38:31I don't like the song
38:32You're not an angsty guy
38:34You're a sweetie
38:35I feel that you'd kiss girls on the neck
38:37Not yell
38:38You know what I mean?
38:39You're not an angsty guy
38:41Full of anger
38:42It doesn't always have to be like that though
38:44You know, I want to hear Harry
38:45But you know
38:47You hear us talk all the time
38:48Harry, I want you to tell us
38:50Who are you, Harry?
38:52Like, do you want to be that mad rock guy?
38:54Do you want to be the guy behind the guitar?
38:56What do you want to do?
38:57I really, yeah
38:58I've loved the transformation
38:59To be honest
38:59I've had a great time with these songs
39:01Okay
39:01So you want to be the hard rock guy?
39:03Sure
39:03Well, what I think is
39:05Good luck
39:06Great fans
39:07What I like is that
39:10We have seen Harry
39:12Like, especially in the packages before
39:14We saw him
39:15He can be that folk singer
39:16Looking at his feet
39:17But I want to be the hot skinny guy too
39:19But we can only do so much
39:20He's just a different artist
39:21Like, artists grow
39:23And I think
39:23He's just too soft to be hard
39:26I don't think so
39:28I don't think that'll come across like that on TV
39:30All right
39:33Mixed comments there
39:34From the judges, Harry
39:35How do you feel?
39:36Yeah, I had a great time with it
39:37So I could kind of see what Kyle was saying
39:40But I really enjoyed myself
39:41Yeah
39:42What did you guys think?
39:47There you go
39:47It was great
39:48Now, you have a big crew here
39:51Who have travelled out from Ballarat
39:52To support you
39:53Hello, guys
39:54Hello
39:56Now, I know there are plenty more fans
39:58Watching at home too
39:59So why don't you tell Australia
40:01Why they should vote
40:02For the barber from Ballarat
40:04Yeah, it's always been
40:06A massive dream of mine
40:07To be the next Australian Idol
40:08And I've worked really hard
40:10For ten years on my music
40:12So I've always really wanted
40:13To kind of just put that into the world
40:14And have people kind of see it
40:16And receive it well
40:17So that would be my
40:18You don't get harder than that
40:19That's some hard words
40:21Well, not everyone has to be hard
40:23Not everyone has to be hard
40:25I'm just saying
40:25The guy's too nice
40:27Do you know how much you've cried
40:28On this show?

40:40I don't mind a soft song
40:42See?
40:42You can be hard and soft
40:44At the same time
40:44We can't have phonies up here
40:46Pretending to be hard asses
40:47When they're not
40:48I just see it
40:49I can't
40:49You're a nicer guy
40:50Get rid of that rubbish

43:13By the woman herself
43:14Olivia Newton-John
43:15Me and Grease
43:17I like that
43:18I did a musical
43:19When I was actually
43:20In year 9
43:22And I was one of
43:22The T-bird dudes
43:24That I was by
43:27I love Grease
43:28It's one of my
43:29Most watched movies
43:30Okay
43:31I'm gasped
43:32Thinking about
43:32I guess
43:33It was Australia's
43:35Vote
43:35Last week
43:36So how are you feeling
43:38After you know
43:39Being in the bottom two
43:43Being in the bottom two
43:44Definitely
43:47Stirred up
43:48A lot of emotions
43:50It's not a position
43:51You want to be in
43:52And it's not one
43:53You want to be in twice
43:53I just need to
43:55You know
43:57Put it all on the table
43:58Yeah
43:58I've got so much more
44:00To show
44:00I want to be here
44:02More than anything
44:03In the world
44:04So from now on
44:06It's just proving
44:08To Australia
44:09That I need to be here
44:11Since you pushed
44:12My love aside
44:14I'm out of my head
44:17You tend to like
44:18Rush the phrasing there
44:20And come in early
44:21Shall we try that again?
44:22Let's go from that verse
44:24Yeah
44:24It is all I ever wanted
44:26And having a chance
44:29Of that getting ripped away
44:30It's rough
44:33If I don't nail this
44:34I could be in the bottom two again
44:36And I could be going home
44:38Definitely
44:42Yes mine is not the first
44:45Heart broken
44:49My eyes are not the first
44:52To cry
44:53I'm not the first
44:57To know
44:58There's just no
45:00Getting over you
45:04I'm hopelessly devoted
45:07To you
45:11But now
45:14There's no
45:15Out of heart
45:17Since you pushed
45:18My love aside
45:20I'm out of my head
45:23I'm hopelessly devoted
45:26To you
45:29I'm hopelessly devoted
45:33To you
45:35To you
45:39And my head
45:41Is saying
45:41Fool
45:42Forget him
45:44But my heart
45:47Is saying
45:48Don't let go
45:52Hold on
45:54Till the end
45:55And that's what I
45:57Intend to do
45:59I'm hopelessly devoted
46:19I'm hopelessly devoted
46:23To you
46:27Hopelessly devoted
46:30To you
46:37Hopelessly devoted
46:43To you
46:52I'm hopelessly devoted
46:53Thank you so much
46:57Thank you everyone
47:04Thank you
47:09Oh Kesha
47:09I didn't know
47:10What was going to happen
47:10Then I thought
47:11We might have had
47:11Another desk
47:13Dance
47:13They told me
47:14We're only insured
47:14For one
47:15Standing desk
47:16Situation
47:18Kesha
47:18Whoa
47:19I mean
47:20That song
47:21I think it means
47:22So much
47:22To so many people
47:24Around the world
47:25Not just Australia
47:27But that
47:28I mean
47:29It's usually
47:30Such a soft
47:30Sweet song
47:31And when
47:32I guess when Sandy
47:33Sings it in the movie
47:34She's like still
47:35In that era
47:36Of like pretty girl
47:37Softness
47:37You kind of
47:39Did it from another
47:40Angle where she'd
47:41Already turned
47:41Into bad bitch
47:42And that was like
47:44I felt like I was
47:45Watching like
47:46The coolest girl
47:48In the world
47:49Who had finally
47:50Gotten her heart broken
47:51Like I believed
47:52Every word you said
47:53But you just looked
47:54So awesome doing it
47:56And that just
47:57Sounded incredible
47:58You always are
47:59Just so incredible
48:00I appreciate that
48:02So much
48:02Thank you
48:07I'm proud to say
48:08That I knew Olivia
48:09And I just did a play
48:11Some time ago
48:13Called Grease
48:14Where I heard that song
48:15Every night
48:16Lord have mercy
48:17It never sounded like that
48:18Okay
48:19You know
48:20And I mean
48:20I'm a great believer
48:21There's nothing wrong
48:22With doing a rendition
48:23Of a song
48:24As long as
48:25You change it up
48:26You kept it soft
48:27And pretty
48:28In the bits
48:28That needed to be
48:29Kesha
48:30And you've got
48:31A great gift
48:32You know
48:32Like and you can
48:33Belt too
48:33You know
48:34And to me
48:35That's what it's
48:35Really all about
48:36As well
48:36But I really believe
48:38If you're gonna do
48:38A rendition of a song
48:39You treat it
48:40As if it was written
48:41For you
48:41Or you wrote it
48:42With that respect
48:44In the middle
48:44Well done honey
48:45Thank you
48:46Thank you very much
48:47I really appreciate it
48:48Thank you
48:52Who are you singing
