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.
00:08:10I guess you say what can make me feel this way?
00:08:20This is my girl.
00:08:21Our girl.
00:08:23I'm talking about my higher girl.
00:08:27Our girl.
00:08:28Your girl.
00:08:29Who?
00:08:33I got so much journe, even the B's empty.
00:08:41Oh, I got a sweeter song
00:08:44Than the birds in the trees
00:08:48Oh, yeah, it's for me, yeah
00:08:51I guess you would 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, yeah
00:09:11I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
00:09:17I even got the month of May
00:09:21I'm talking about my girl, talking about my girl
00:09:27Only my girl can make me feel this way
00:09:33This way
00:09:38I'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
00:10:09I 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
00:10:23Oozing out of everywhere
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch
00:10:28Oh, thank you
00:10:29Thank 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
00:10:39You know, 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
00:10:56You're welcome
00:10:56Thank you so much
00:11:00Yeah, Charlie, everyone 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
00:11:17Well, thank you, Carl
00:11:17Thank you so much, mate
00:11:18Thank you
00:11:22Oh, Charlie
00:11:24That was so cool
00:11:26I love that song so much
00:11:27I love that movie, My Girl
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
00:11:36Who's watching at home
00:11:37And it just means so much, you know
00:11:39You can tell
00:11:39You can tell that every time you sing
00:11:41You sing with your whole heart
00:11:43Now, Charlie, we saw in your video
00:11:45That your life has totally changed
00:11:47Being in the top 12
00:11:48Photo shoots, interviews
00:11:50Are you loving this new life?

00:11:54I'm so happy to be a part of it

00:12:18You have to do it
00:12:18Go check them out
00:12:19All right, Australia

00:12:33Make some noise for Charlie
00:12:34Thank you very much
00:12:35Thank 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
00:12:53Lily Grace
00:13:00The top 12 is great
00:13:01We're here
00:13:02I 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
00:13:38Hello
00:13:39How are you?
00:13:40Hi, Grace
00:13:42How are you?
00:13:44Oh my goodness
00:13:44I'm so excited to talk to you
00:13:47To me, I'm excited to talk to you
00:13:48I know that you
00:13:50You come from a little town as well
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 is
00:14:02Sometimes you do have to make sacrifices
00:14:04To be, you know
00:14:06Like to chase your dreams
00:14:07And I feel like this song
00:14:08Kind of also saying
00:14:09You know, this is what I have to do
00:14:10And this is what I want to do
00:14:11You're in a moment that could change the course of your future
00:14:15But what I will definitely give you some advice about
00:14:17It's always really good
00:14:19To find someone in the crowd
00:14:21Who's having a really good time
00:14:23And actually properly look at them
00:14:25If you really have a minute
00:14:28With one person who's looking at you
00:14:31You have a real human moment
00:14:33Yeah, I love that
00:14:34I definitely think that's something
00:14:35I have to work on a little bit
00:14:36Thank you so much
00:14:38Your advice is actually
00:14:39It's been amazing
00:14:43After speaking to Katie
00:14:44I feel like it's just given me
00:14:46That little bit of edge
00:14:47I want to keep going in this competition
00:14:49I know what I want
00:14:50I know what I want to do
00:14:51And I want to be in top ten
00:14:54Top ten's calling
00:15:09And you can see
00:15:10She's a beautiful girl
00:15:11She's a beautiful girl
00:15:14And everything around her
00:15:16Is a silver pool of life
00:15:18The people who surround her
00:15:21Feel the benefit of it
00:15:23It makes you calm
00:15:25She holds you captivated in her palm
00:15:29Suddenly I see
00:15:32This is what I want to be
00:15:35Suddenly I see
00:15:37Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:42This is what I want to be
00:15:44Suddenly I see
00:15:47Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:54Well I feel like walking the world
00:15:56Like walking the world
00:15:58And you can see
00:16:00And you can see
00:16:00She's a beautiful girl
00:16:01She's a beautiful girl
00:16:03She fills up every corner
00:16:06Like she's warm
00:16:07Like in white
00:16:08Makes you feel warmer
00:16:11And you're trying to remember
00:16:13And you're trying to remember
00:16:13What you heard
00:16:15She rocks the leaf
00:16:17You're hanging on her word
00:16:19Come on
00:16:20Suddenly I see
00:16:21This is what I want to be
00:16:25Suddenly I see
00:16:27Why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:31Suddenly I see
00:16:37Why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:40Suddenly I see
00:16:47Why the hell it means so much
00:16:49Why the hell it means so much to me
00:17:06Great song choice, darling.
00:17:09You're welcome.
00:17:10You know, I mean, you're so far away up on a podium like that.
00:17:14But everything's settled when you walk down here
00:17:18and you saw the kids and the kids gave you that energy.
00:17:22It's all about the energy and you gave them the love, didn't you?
00:17:26Thanks, guys.
00:17:28Yeah, hi.
00:17:32That is so truly what it's all about, honey.
00:17:36Your voice is fine.
00:17:37Your guitar playing is fine.
00:17:38You've got to try and find some confidence
00:17:40in the performance side of things, okay?
00:17:43I think you did a great job.
00:17:44Thank you so much.
00:17:45You're welcome.
00:17:46You're welcome.
00:17:49I thought you did great, too.
00:17:51I mean, it was really good advice from KT
00:17:53because it's that human element
00:17:56that's really hard to find when you're performing,
00:17:59especially when you're elevated.
00:18:00As soon as I'm anywhere where there's steps involved,
00:18:03it's like it's in the back of your head, right?
00:18:06You're just like, oh, my God, okay, the steps are coming up.
00:18:08And it's really hard to, like...
00:18:11Oh, girl, I thought I was going to fold it.
00:18:12Oh, honey, we know.
00:18:13We know.
00:18:14That's what I mean.
00:18:14You did so well.
00:18:15Yeah, we know.
00:18:15Like, considering this is all new to you,
00:18:18that was such a slick performance.
00:18:20Yeah, great song.
00:18:22You still brought it to life.
00:18:24Glad the hat's back.
00:18:26Yeah, you should be really proud of that.
00:18:28Thank you so much, Amy.
00:18:29I really appreciate that.
00:18:36You're 18,
00:18:36so I'm pretty sure you can manage up and down the stairs fine.
00:18:39My three-and-a-half-year-old...
00:18:40Have you seen those heels?
00:18:41He's up and down the stairs pretty good.
00:18:43By 18, you can pretty much...
00:18:44I've seen chicks running down cobblestone roads in Europe.
00:18:48That's because they're running from you.
00:18:49No.
00:18:50They're walking.
00:18:52Now, Lily Grace.
00:18:55Great song choice.
00:18:56You didn't feel like you enjoyed it until about halfway through.
00:18:59Am I sensing something there?
00:19:01Could you hear yourself well?
00:19:03You just didn't seem to be enjoying it
00:19:05until you did step off the stage.
00:19:07Yeah, no.
00:19:08I think I was just...
00:19:09I mean, I was enjoying it.
00:19:10I was.
00:19:10There was just a lot to think about.
00:19:12You know, there's a lot going on.
00:19:12That's like what I said.
00:19:13Yeah, sing the song.
00:19:14Step, step, step.
00:19:15Oh, I've enjoyed the song.
00:19:16Oh, Jesus.
00:19:17Step, step, step.
00:19:17But it's just walking down steps.
00:19:19Kyle, actually...
00:19:20It's in high heels, Kyle.
00:19:22It's in high heels.
00:19:23I've walked down steps in high heels myself.
00:19:25I know you have.
00:19:27Now, sure, it's more of a private situation.
00:19:29I can't unsee it.
00:19:30I'll just get it out of there.
00:19:31And they weren't that well-fitting either.
00:19:33Like, that ugly stepsister, you know.
00:19:35Popping around.
00:19:35Oh, it's my...
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:36Anyway.
00:19:37You did great.
00:19:38But the song is perfect for you
00:19:40because you're always happy and uplifting.
00:19:42But I just didn't feel that you were happy
00:19:44until halfway through.
00:19:45But I still loved it.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:46Still very energetic.
00:19:48Enjoyable.
00:19:53Lily Grace, how are you feeling?
00:19:55I can see that you're not on top of the world right now.
00:19:59No, I'm okay.
00:20:00I am...
00:20:01No, tonight, you know, I will just say
00:20:02in preparation for this week,
00:20:04I did lose someone very special to me.
00:20:06I'm so sorry.
00:20:07My beautiful Auntie Lisa.
00:20:08And tonight, I was just...
00:20:09I had that in my head.
00:20:10And this was for her, you know.
00:20:12Whatever happens going forward, you know,
00:20:14I just wanted to make her proud.
00:20:15And I really hope I did that tonight.
00:20:17So that was what this performance was for.
00:20:21Give me a hug in your hand.
00:20:22Just give me a six, yeah.
00:20:25That's not easy.
00:20:26That is...
00:20:27Forget the stairs and forget the heels.
00:20:29That's not easy to do what you did tonight.
00:20:30So you did an incredible job considering...
00:20:32Thank you, sir.
00:20:33Um, Lily Grace, the original singer of that song,
00:20:36Katie Tunstall,
00:20:37gave you some incredible words of wisdom
00:20:39in the lead-up to tonight.
00:20:41What was that like, being able to talk with her
00:20:43and speak to the person whose song
00:20:45you were singing on this stage?
00:20:46Yeah, you know, honestly, it was amazing.
00:20:48She was so kind of down-to-earth,
00:20:50and it felt like...
00:20:51It kind of just felt like I was catching up
00:20:52with an old friend, which is like...
00:20:54You know, when you're meeting people
00:20:55that are so successful and have had such amazing careers,
00:20:57it's not always like that, you know?
00:20:58It's like, oh, it's kind of scary.
00:20:59But I sat down and just like,
00:21:01oh, you know, how are you going?
00:21:02Like, I'm in Scotland.
00:21:04Yeah, we were just...
00:21:05We had a great yarn,
00:21:06and it was really great to talk to her.
00:21:07Amazing.
00:21:08Well, that was, like, the perfect song for you.
00:21:10Katie Tunstall is touring Australia in May.
00:21:12She is absolutely fantastic.
00:21:14Go and look her up and get your tickets right now.
00:21:18And if you want to see Lily Grace sing again,
00:21:21you have to vote for her.
00:21:22Text her name to help her secure a place in the top ten.
00:21:26Give it up, everybody, for the beautiful Lily Grace.
00:21:34Don't forget, you've only got ten votes to use tonight,
00:21:37so spread them out,
00:21:39or you can stack them all on one idol too.
00:21:41Make sure, though, you vote wisely.
00:21:44OK, still to come tonight,
00:21:46we have our Ballarat barber, Harry,
00:21:48Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella,
00:21:50and our forklift driver, Jacinta.
00:21:52But next, it's the Central Coast landscaper Kalani
00:21:55preparing to take your breath away
00:21:58with a power ballad from the blockbuster movie Top Gun.
00:22:01Don't go anywhere.
00:22:03Idol continues after the break.
00:22:14Welcome back.
00:22:15It is movie week on Idol,
00:22:17and the top 12 are singing cinematic classics for your votes.
00:22:21Up next is our landscaper
00:22:23from the central coast of New South Wales, Kalani.
00:22:26This week, Kalani and the rest of the top 12
00:22:29scored a VIP invite to an exclusive movie screening.
00:22:33Check it out.
00:22:41Being in the top 12 has definitely changed my life.
00:22:44We've been invited to some crazy events.
00:22:46Oh, that's so cool.
00:22:48That's massive.
00:22:49We've been invited to a VIP screening of Top Gun
00:22:52to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film.
00:22:54I love this movie, guys.
00:22:55He's ready.
00:22:55Yeah!
00:23:01It's such an iconic movie.
00:23:03It 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, the 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.
00:23:20So it's movie week?
00:23:21Yeah, movie week.
00:23:22What are you singing?
00:23:23I'm going to sing Take My Breath Away from the movie Top Gun.
00:23:26Classic.
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,
00:23:34I guess, in a sense, and does his own thing,
00:23:36and 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,
00:23:51especially after getting the fast pass into Top 12.
00:23:54I would like to give you my fast pass, Kalani.
00:24:01There's so many great singers in this competition.
00:24:04For me, it's like, how does he...
00:24:07How does he top it every time?
00:24:14I don't know.
00:24:14I mean, I do really need to level up
00:24:17and make sure Australia's going to vote for me
00:24:20and they stay hooked.
00:24:22I really need to find out what I can do
00:24:24to enhance and elevate this next performance
00:24:27because it's getting down to some short numbers now
00:24:29and there's some great voices here and it's getting real.
00:24:33I definitely feel like I've got something to prove with this one.
00:24:36I want to be the Maverick of Idol.
00:24:37I want to win this thing
00:24:39and make my dreams come true.
00:24:53On this endless ocean
00:24:56Finally, love has known, no shame
00:25:02Turning and returning
00:25:05To some secret place inside
00:25:12Watching in slow motion
00:25:14As you turn around
00:25:17And say
00:25:22Take my breath away
00:25:33Watching I keep waiting
00:25:36Still anticipating love
00:25:42Never hesitating
00:25:45To become the faded one
00:25:47Never hesitating to become the faded one
00:25:49Oh
00:25:51Turning and returning
00:25:54To some secret place to hide
00:26:00Take my breath away
00:26:09Take my breath away
00:26:18Take my breath away
00:26:20Take my breath away
00:26:22Take my breath away
00:26:25Take my breath away
00:26:28Take my breath away
00:26:31Take my breath through it
00:26:49So cool.
00:26:53Hello, Kalani!
00:26:55Kalani. Hey, buddy.
00:26:57Hello.
00:26:59You know what?
00:27:01You pull this look off really well.
00:27:03I remember you in the high viz and you were like,
00:27:05yeah, g'day, mate, I'm a tradie, whatever.
00:27:06I move rocks around.
00:27:08And this here, beautiful Top Gun, great soundtrack, fantastic.
00:27:12Remember when we were kids, they were playing that stuff.
00:27:14Yeah, that was beautiful.
00:27:15And where did you get them MC Hammer pants?
00:27:17I haven't seen them since Cavill Ave on the Gold Coast.
00:27:19Mate, look, wardrobe, you know.
00:27:211988, Cavill Ave Gold Coast,
00:27:24that's when I last saw those big parachute pants.
00:27:26They're the bomb. I'm digging them.
00:27:27I thought it was a skirt for a minute, but it's actually trousers.
00:27:29Yeah, it's not the first time it's been mistaken for a skirt,
00:27:32but, you know, I think I can pull it off.
00:27:33You can pull it off.
00:27:34You pulled the look off.
00:27:35You pulled the song off.
00:27:36Thanks, dude.
00:27:37Fantastic.
00:27:37I love you.
00:27:38I love everything about you.
00:27:39Good luck, man.
00:27:40I love you, Kal.
00:27:47There's really something quite special about sitting and watching a singer develop his or her style.
00:27:55Come on, you take my breath away.
00:27:57Thank you so much.
00:27:58You're really something.
00:27:59It remains the world.
00:27:59It remains the world.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:01You know, you needed it.
00:28:03You needed it, and you did what you wanted.
00:28:05And I love the lower register, and then I love when you just soar, you know.
00:28:09Yeah, it's a pleasure, Kalani.
00:28:11You're amazing.
00:28:12Thank you so much.
00:28:16Kalani, you're always great.
00:28:18I mean, that voice, you're so blessed with it, and I really enjoyed that.
00:28:24And I think once you go on and people know you as an artist, you'll be able to really nestle
00:28:29in your genre and everything to do with being an artist.
00:28:33But just be careful in the competition.
00:28:36Keep trying to find those pockets and moments to almost shock us because, unfortunately, it is a competition.
00:28:42I don't want you to get forgotten.
00:28:44So just always be on the lookout for that.
00:28:46That was still amazing, but do you know what I mean?
00:28:48Of course, yeah.
00:28:49Always just find where you're going to shine because you've got a real hidden talent.
00:28:54It's amazing.
00:28:55Always an orgasm at the end.
00:28:57Remember that.
00:29:04Breathtaking.
00:29:05Absolutely breathtaking, Kalani.
00:29:07Did you enjoy that?
00:29:08So much fun.
00:29:09I love that song, you know.
00:29:11And I'm living my dream at the moment, so I couldn't ask for anything more.
00:29:15Oh, my gosh, 100%.
00:29:17Now, Kalani, you and the idols got to attend a VIP screening of Top Gun.
00:29:22How was that?
00:29:23It was super fun.
00:29:24It was super fun to, you know, have a little movie night amongst all the madness with my friends.
00:29:28So, yeah, it was beautiful.
00:29:30It was beautiful.
00:29:30So, so good.
00:29:31It is such an iconic film.
00:29:33You can also catch the 40th anniversary of Top Gun in cinemas from May 14.
00:29:38So, it turns out the idol fame isn't just reserved for the Top 12.
00:29:44It can rub off on your family and friends, too.
00:29:48Kalani's Nana Sue is iconic.
00:29:51We can all agree on that.
00:29:53She's in the audience again tonight.
00:29:54And this week, she did her first ever radio interview with Triple M.
00:29:59All right, girlfriend.
00:30:00You.
00:30:02Has all the fame...
00:30:05Hello.
00:30:05Has all the fame gone to your head yet, Nana Sue?
00:30:09Well, I certainly wasn't expecting it at all, that's for sure.
00:30:12But he definitely has put me in the spotlight a bit.
00:30:15You're the star of the show, Nan.
00:30:18We knew that from the moment we met you at auditions.
00:30:21You were the real star of the show here, Nan.
00:30:24It's just been the best thing watching him rise like this.
00:30:29He's just truly incredible.
00:30:30We're all so proud of him up here.
00:30:32I love you.
00:30:32Love all you guys.
00:30:35Well, if you want Kalani to land in the Top 10, it's all in your hands, Australia.
00:30:41Text the number on the screen right now.
00:30:43Remember, you have 10 votes per phone, per voting period.
00:30:48Let's hear it for Kalani.
00:30:56Now, Kalani's song was an Oscar-winning hit.
00:31:00And if you want to know who will win big at the Oscars this year,
00:31:03you can check out all the red carpet action live and exclusive on Sunrise
00:31:07at 5.30 tomorrow morning.
00:31:09OK, tonight, the first half of the Top 12 are singing for your vote.
00:31:14But at the end of the show, one of them will score the Judge Save,
00:31:18which will send them directly into the Top 10.
00:31:20That massive decision for our judges is on the way.
00:31:23But after the break from Ballarat in Victoria,
00:31:27Harry, our singing barber, steps into the spotlight.
00:31:30Idol is back after this.
00:31:43Tonight on Idol, your Top 12 take on songs from the movies.
00:31:48And with voting open, you are the director of their fate.
00:31:52Kyle, I thought maybe to get us in the movie mood,
00:31:54you could give us your best movie trailer voice
00:31:57to introduce our next idol.
00:32:00I'm talking into a mic.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:02I'm a bit nervous.
00:32:04OK.
00:32:05This weekend of the movies,
00:32:07you've seen him with some scissors.
00:32:10You've seen him with a comb.
00:32:13But you've never seen him like this.
00:32:16Put your hands together.
00:32:18Our barber from Ballarat, ladies and gentlemen.
00:32:21Give it up for Harry!
00:32:23CHEERING
00:32:30Harry, welcome to the Top 12.
00:32:32Thank you so much.
00:32:32How are you feeling?
00:32:33I'm stoked. I'm really happy.
00:32:35Talk to me about Top 21.
00:32:37It was a whole new thing for me,
00:32:38obviously, the whole transformation
00:32:39and the rock kind of thing,
00:32:41which is all pretty fresh,
00:32:41but I'm excited the judges kind of gave me another chance.
00:32:44So all you've got to do is,
00:32:45instead of being a gentle little boy
00:32:47putting the microphone,
00:32:49flip that stand.
00:32:50That's all you need.
00:32:52A little bit of tweaking.
00:32:54I've taken the judges' feedback on board
00:32:56and this week I really want to show them
00:32:57that I can be a rock star
00:32:58and that I can really own the stage.
00:33:00Movie week.
00:33:01What song are you singing?
00:33:02I'm doing Born to be Wild from Easy Rider.
00:33:04Oh, nice.
00:33:06You really are leaning into the rock and roll.
00:33:08Super rocky.
00:33:09It's going to be fun.
00:33:09It's like really upbeat.
00:33:10And it's going to be a vibe.
00:33:12I love smoking lightning.
00:33:16Heavy metal thunder.
00:33:18A song like this requires you
00:33:20to really give it your all.
00:33:22If you go out there and sort of half cook it,
00:33:24it's just going to look soft
00:33:25and no one likes the soft rock stuff.
00:33:27If you go, get out on the highway
00:33:29and then you smile.
00:33:31Kind of kills the mood.
00:33:32Exactly.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:33The song's called Born to be Wild,
00:33:35so I think I need to get wild with it
00:33:36and get loose
00:33:37without looking like a serial killer.
00:33:39Theme for you this week
00:33:40is just 100% commitment.
00:33:42I'm leaning into the rock and roll Harry.
00:33:45That's it.
00:33:46Yeah?
00:33:53I really have to perform this one with conviction,
00:33:55so I'm really letting loose, getting wild.
00:33:59Rock stars aren't gentle
00:34:00and I really need to let loose on the stage this week.
00:34:02I'm going to really rock out
00:34:03and show Australia what I can do.
00:34:14It's a motor running
00:34:18Yeah, out on the highway
00:34:21Looking for adventure
00:34:24And whatever comes our way
00:34:27Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
00:34:31Take the world in a love embrace
00:34:34Fire all of your guns at once
00:34:38And explode into space
00:34:40Like a true nature child
00:34:43We were born, born to be wild
00:34:46We can climb so high
00:34:49I never want to die
00:34:54Born to be wild
00:35:01I'm a smoking light
00:35:04Heavy metal thunder
00:35:07Racing with the wind
00:35:10And the feeling that I'm under
00:35:14Yeah, darling, gonna make it happen
00:35:17Take the world in a love embrace
00:35:21Fire all of your guns at once
00:35:24And explode into space
00:35:26Like a true nature child
00:35:29We were born, born to be wild
00:35:32We can climb so high
00:35:35I never want to die
00:35:39Born to be wild
00:35:46Born to be wild
00:35:49I never want to die
00:35:53Oh!
00:35:55I'm gonna be wildvoyant
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
00:36:30some attention?
00:36:31For sure.
00:36:31Honey, I would have stayed there myself.
00:36:34You know, I mean, you did a great job, Harry, and it's really just loosen up, man, you know,
00:36:39like it's rock and roll, it'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, honey, because you know it is.
00:36:49But well done, Harry.
00:36:50Thank you, Marcia.
00:36:50You're welcome.
00:36:51Yeah.
00:36:56Ah, Paige, that was, I, so I was nervous because, you know, you're like, I was watching the little
00:37:03package put together and you're like feeling it and I was like, oh, please, like it's just,
00:37:07it's such a fine line with like, you know, rock and roll and then cringe and that was the coolest
00:37:14you have looked.
00:37:14You 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, Amy.
00:37:43She had a really good time watching you.
00:37:46That's really what an artist wants to hear.
00:37:49They want, because to be really successful in this business, you either, you either want
00:37:54to be that person on stage or you want to have sex with that person on stage.
00:37:59That's, that'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, you, you 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.
00:38:17It 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.
00:38:29Sure.
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.
00:38:48Long way to go, obviously.
00:38:49No, you looked really comfortable up here.
00:38:52Now, Harry, you are a barber back home and your parents are manning the barber's chairs
00:38:56while 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.
00:39:07I'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.
00:39:14Oh, thank God.
00:39:15I thought they'd just been there going.
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.
00:39:44We 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.
00:40:04Well, there are more action packed movie week performances still to come,
00:40:07including 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 twelve are singing songs from the movies
00:40:28to score a role in the top 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 twelve.
00:41:06Tonight she's singing a song from a Disney film
00:41:08that once cleaned up at the Oscars.
00:41:10This is Samela.
00:41:19Hello.
00:41:20How are you?
00:41:21How are you?
00:41:21How are you?
00:41:22I'm great.
00:41:25Welcome to the top twelve.
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.
00:41:29My transformation for Transformation Week made me feel a million dollars.
00:41:34Like I felt beautiful and it was a really good feeling to be up there,
00:41:38standing with confidence and ready to take on the world.
00:41:42It's movie week.
00:41:44Yeah.
00:41:44Top twelve.
00:41:45What song do you singing?
00:41:46I'm singing Circle of Life from The Lion King.
00:41:49Circle of Life.
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 family.
00:41:59I agree.
00:42:00I'm so grateful to have been raised by strong, powerful women, lionesses and women that are fearless.
00:42:06And I can't wait to raise a powerful, fearless woman.
00:42:11Like that's what the world needs.
00:42:13In the circle of life.
00:42:15Through 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.
00:42:37Too 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.
00:42:42And it needs to flow melodically.
00:42:44We'll sing it one more time.
00:42:45And just thinking about the generations.
00:42:47The women.
00:42:48Powerful women.
00:42:49And just really channeling that.
00:42:51It's incredibly important to forget about the technical side of the scene.
00:42:55And remember who I'm singing this for.
00:42:57I'm thinking about my grandma.
00:43:00I'm thinking about my mom.
00:43:02I'm thinking about my daughter.
00:43:04It is so important that I completely blow this performance out of the water.
00:43:08To ensure that I have a spot in the top ten.
00:43:13The day we arrived on the planet.
00:43:19And Lincoln stepped into the sun.
00:43:25There's a tangly left one.
00:43:27There's a mother piece me.
00:43:28That can ever be seen.
00:43:31What you do.
00:43:32They can never be done.
00:43:36There's far too much to take in here
00:43:42More to find they can ever be found
00:43:47But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
00:43:53Meets great in the small endless wrap
00:43:57In the circle of life
00:44:03It's the wheel of fortune
00:44:09It's the leap of faith
00:44:14It's the path of hope
00:44:20Till we find our 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
00:45:29At the beginning the video at the back
00:45:31I 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
00:45:47Very 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
00:45:58At a certain age we've all got to get the camera
00:46:00You've got a couple of decades to go
00:46:02Thank you
00:46:03So you know look
00:46:05I want to say Samila you 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
00:46:13Yeah
00:46:13Live
00:46:14The 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 it was so moving
00:46:22And your performance
00:46:23Oh God you're one of them
00:46:24Oh I know I'm that person
00:46:25Yes 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 it just
00:46:33Yeah
00:46:34Yeah
00:46:35That's all I can say
00:46:35Well done
00:46:36Thank you so much
00:46:36Thank you
00:46:37It felt really good
00:46:40I agree
00:46:40Um
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
00:46:50With Dawson's Creek
00:46:51With me
00:46:52And then you did it
00:46:53Then I
00:46:54I mean I had a Lion King duvet
00:46:55You what?
00:46:57Bring it back
00:46:57A Lion King
00:46:58Yeah honestly
00:46:58A Lion King like
00:46:59Like doing a cover
00:47:00Like a she
00:47:01Oh my God
00:47:02I think I had Lion King curtains
00:47:03I was obsessed with that movie
00:47:06And you just had this way of
00:47:08Always taking me back
00:47:09To these beautiful moments
00:47:10And you have no bells and whistles up there
00:47:13It's just you
00:47:14And you are so real
00:47:16She had the big colon
00:47:17What else could you get
00:47:18Stop interrupting everyone's night
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
00:47:26Okay?
00:47:27Thank you Amy
00:47:28Thank you Amy
00:47:29Finally
00:47:33Hi Rikki
00:47:34Samella
00:47:34Just
00:47:36Wow
00:47:36Absolute 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
00:47:45As you do with everything
00:47:46Look absolutely effortless
00:47:48Thank you Rikki
00:47:48It's um
00:47:49It was such a big song to sing
00:47:50Um
00:47:51And it's such an iconic song
00:47:53So I felt the pressure
00:47:55But I felt really privileged
00:47:56To be given that song
00:47:57And to have sung that song
00:47:59So yeah
00:47:59Oh it was such
00:48:02A beautiful performance
00:48:04Samella
00:48:05I'm with
00:48:05I'm with Amy
00:48:06I am such a huge fan
00:48:08Of the OG Lion King movie
00:48:10I was obsessed
00:48:11I used to like
00:48:12Put shows on in my lounge room
00:48:14For my parents
00:48:14And my grandparents
00:48:15And all my little cousins
00:48:16And I played all the characters
00:48:17They 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 Rikki
00:48:23The Circle of Life is my absolute favourite
00:48:26And 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
00:48:31Put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh yeah
00:48:33Where's the babies?
00:48:34Where'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
00:48:43You are
00:48:44And I'm like Simba
00:48:45Samella
00:48:47Everything that like touches
00:48:48The light touches
00:48:49Sour Kingdom
00:48:50No
00:48:51Don't stop
00:48:52We won't stop
00:48:52No we won't stop
00:48:53I don't get it
00:48:54I've not seen it
00:48:55You have not seen The Lion King?
00:48:57Sit down with your son on the weekend
00:48:58And watch it
00:48:59I think I was eating out of the games
00:48:59When you guys were at Birch, Carol and Corley
00:49:01You have a lovely house and a lovely TV nation
00:49:03Pop it on
00:49:04I've never seen it
00:49:05Pop it on
00:49:05Oh please do
00:49:06I'm not interested
00:49:08You'll love it
00:49:09Next please
00:49:09Well done
00:49:10Another iconic performance from Simela
00:49:14And if you think she should stay in the competition
00:49:17Then vote for her right now
00:49:19Yes
00:49:20Yeah
00:49:21Or
00:49:21Will she be the one that scores the judge save later in the show
00:49:25Sending her straight into the top ten
00:49:27We'll find out a little bit later
00:49:29But let's hear it one more time for Simela
00:49:31Thank you guys
00:49:32Thank you
00:49:35Next our forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh
00:49:37As Jacinta 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
00:49:56Welcome back to Idle
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
00:50:10Are you feeling the love for your sister?
00:50:12Oh 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 You'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
00:51:15Woohoo
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
00:52:18I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:21I 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, the performance will fall flat
00:52:40You've got to keep the intensity of that because 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 life
00:53:00It's 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've felt like this before
00:53:31But now I'm feeling it even more
00:53:35Because it came from you
00:53:59I know I've 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
00:54:23It's 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 favorite songs
00:55:09I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries play
00:55:11Like one of the last times they played
00:55:13In this country
00:55:14And it was funny because
00:55:15Obviously Dolores' voice is so different and iconic
00:55:20And it really made sense
00:55:22For 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
00:55:28Big notes
00:55:29But you really are such an individual
00:55:34And you've just got this voice
00:55:36That I want it to stay
00:55:37I could just listen to you
00:55:38In that register
00:55:40That sort of lower register
00:55:41All day
00:55:42I was worried about the
00:55:44When 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
00:55:53Thank you so much
00:55:54You should be proud
00:55:54Thank you
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
00:56:08I 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
00:56:16Kind of tripped you up a bit
00:56:18You know
00:56:19Tell me
00:56:20Talk to me
00:56:20How did you feel about the big notes?
00:56:24Yeah 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 hot
00:56:50Or you go home
00:56:51Okay
00:56:51So like if you're going to sing
00:56:53A 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
00:57:01That Carmen gives you
00:57:03You know
00:57:03And so
00:57:04When a note doesn't feel right
00:57:06In you
00:57:07Guess what
00:57:08It's not right
00:57:09Okay
00:57:10So I think you did
00:57:12A very good job
00:57:13Don't cry honey
00:57:14Sorry
00:57:14I'm not
00:57:15Don'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
00:57:20So
00:57:20When you sing
00:57:21You sing for yourself
00:57:23And sing to the best of your ability
00:57:25You know
00:57:26You're worried about the band
00:57:27Drown you out
00:57:27You don't let no band
00:57:28Drown you out honey
00:57:29You sing on top of the band
00:57:31You sing through the band
00:57:32If 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
00:57:36Thank you
00:57:37You're welcome
00:57:40Okay
00:57:46Real 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
00:57:52Just sit with the headline
00:57:54What's going on
00:57:55Um
00:57:56Anxiety
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
00:58:02You'll 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
00:58:11Anxiety 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
00:58:39Perform 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
00:58:51From the roof there
00:58:52That was enough to mask it
00:58:54So you're killing it
00:58:55Don't let anxiety
00:58:56Swallow you up
00:58:57Don't let it
00:58:58Don't let it win
00:58:59Thank you
00:59:07You know what the most amazing thing though
00:59:10Was to see
00:59:11Is to see
00:59:11I feel like this is a little bit of a representation
00:59:14Of what you've been feeling
00:59:15And to see you walk out
00:59:16And 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
00:59:27You 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
00:59:39Parts 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 we saw in your video package
01:00:07All those letters coming in
01:00:08Kyle's
01:00:09Doing 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?
01:00:20That'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

01:00:59All right
01:01:00Well we have come to the end
01:01:02Of the performances for tonight
01:01:04That means it's time
01:01:05For our judges
01:01:06To deliberate
01:01:06On who they'll save
01:01:07From the public vote
01:01:08And send directly
01:01:10Into the top 10
01:01:11That
01:01:12Mission Impossible
01:01:13Is coming up
01:01:14Don't go anywhere
01:01:24Welcome back
01:01:25All tonight's idols
01:01:26Have performed
01:01:27And shortly the judges
01:01:28Must make
01:01:29The tough decision
01:01:30On who they will save
01:01:32From the viewer
01:01:33Vote
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
01:01:39Has stepped up
01:01:40Well nearly everyone
01:01:42Has stepped up
01:01:43Tonight I think
01:01:44It's obvious
01:01:45Who hasn't
01:01:45But it's still
01:01:46Anyone'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
01:02:01This 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
01:02:14Into the spotlight
01:02:14And totally owned it
01:02:19Top 12 is insane
01:02:20I feel like
01:02:21There's just always
01:02:22Something that's going on
01:02:24Today
01:02:24We are getting
01:02:25The best opportunities
01:02:27Like workshops
01:02:28With Sony
01:02:29Workshops with The Annex
01:02:31Recording studio
01:02:32With The Hive
01:02:33It is just like
01:02:33Creme de la creme
01:02:35Top 12 everyone
01:02:37Yeah I mean
01:02:38The fact that we're travelling
01:02:39And riding in a limo
01:02:41I feel luxurious
01:02:43Has anyone ever been in a limo before?
01:02:45Not me
01:02:49We've all been travelling around by limo
01:02:51Which has been crazy
01:02:52And now we're at Sony Music Publishing
01:02:53And we're doing the songwriting course
01:02:55Love the orange
01:02:57Sony is really really proud
01:02:59To be looking after people like
01:03:01Sia
01:03:01Five seconds of summer
01:03:03ACDC
01:03:04I'm feeling so so damn lucky
01:03:06To be here for 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 so much
01:03:23Before I do
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 just 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 an understanding
01:03:39Of 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 tiki-tok
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 could be
01:04:04And I will do whatever it takes
01:04:05For this to be my life
01:04:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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 even 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 Idol just to sing
01:04:27You're getting real world experience
01:04:29Working with industry professionals
01:04:31It's such a great way to boost your career
01:04:33No matter where you place in the competition
01:04:36Amy and Marsha
01:04:37It's true though, right
01:04:38An artist has to work so hard on their craft
01:04:41To make it in this business
01:04:43It's not easy but it's worth it
01:04:45Because you're creating your brand
01:04:47You have to work hard
01:04:48I mean I always say
01:04:49This is a great, great platform
01:04:51For people who want to 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 discipline
01:04:59And 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 of that
01:05:06Still
01:05:07Thank you
01:05:07Like still banging down doors
01:05:09Still killing it
01:05:09Still doing your thing
01:05:10It never ends
01:05:11Still giving
01:05:11You've got to gig
01:05:12Yeah
01:05:12Hey and you can be here one minute and go on the next they say
01:05:16Just like that
01:05:17You're there and then you're gone
01:05:18Thanks for the reminder Kyle
01:05:20That's what they say
01:05:21Well everyone

01:05:40I can see the judges have come to a decision
01:05:43So up next
01:05:44They will announce who they'll save
01:05:46From this week's public vote
01:05:48The decision you've been waiting for

01:06:10Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards
01:06:13And the TV Week Logie Awards
01:06:16Boost their brand with the annex
01:06:18The experts in marketing and social media
01:06:22Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing
01:06:25And score an exclusive package to record new music

01:06:43What an amazing prize
01:06:44Oh yeah
01:06:45And the first half of your Top 12 have performed
01:06:48And now it is over to the judges
01:06:50To decide which one lucky idol
01:06:54Will be catapulted into the Top 10
01:06:56Giving them immunity from the nationwide vote
01:07:00It could be the idol they believe was the best on the night
01:07:03Or someone they think deserves a second chance
01:07:06So Amy and Marsha, six incredible singers
01:07:08But only one judge saved to use such a difficult decision
01:07:13Yeah this is when it gets really real
01:07:15You know it's so real
01:07:16Now like I keep saying
01:07:18We found you guys
01:07:19Now Australia is going to decide
01:07:21Who they believe should be their next Australian idol
01:07:24Or their Top 10
01:07:25Yeah I think
01:07:26I mean I'm really proud of everyone that is here
01:07:30So yeah it's all up to Australia now
01:07:33This is our last little bit that we can do right
01:07:35That's it
01:07:36And it was really really tough
01:07:37Yeah
01:07:37Alright well
01:07:38It is time to find out who the judges have selected
01:07:42To save from the public vote
01:07:43And send straight into the Top 10
01:07:47Kyle who have you chosen tonight?
01:07:52They're all so good but we're only allowed to save one
01:07:56And the person we're saving today is someone
01:08:00Who made us feel an emotion when we watched them perform
01:08:04Someone whose vocal soared
01:08:09And we've got to give our save tonight
01:08:16To Smella

01:08:55Your place in the idol competition is not guaranteed
