00:01It's Australian Idol and we are live!
00:05For 24 hours, you voted and your verdict is revealed tonight.
00:10But before that, turn it up for your Top 8!
00:27I was a ghost, I was alone.
00:31You was here, I'll get so gay.
00:35Given the throne, I didn't know to believe I was the queen now I'm meant to be.
00:43I've lived too large, one playful time.
00:47But I couldn't find my own place.
00:50I'm a problem, child, cause I got you out.
00:55But that's just how I'm here to be.
00:58I'll be hiding, shining like I'm born to be.
01:05We're dreaming hard, we came so far now I believe.
01:13We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
01:17You know together we're going.
01:19We're gonna be, gonna be going.
01:28We're waiting so long to break these walls down.
01:33To wake up and feel like me.
01:36With these patterns all in the past now.
01:41And finally live like the girl I'm meant to be.
01:45No more shining, I'll be shining like I'm born to be.
01:52Cause we are heartless boys.
01:56Cause I'm broken, I know I believe.
02:00We're going up, up, up this hour moment.
02:04You know together we're going.
02:06We're gonna be, gonna be golden.
02:11We're gonna be golden.
02:14We're gonna be golden.

02:43And make some noise for your Australian Idol judges
02:46Karl Sanderlans
02:49Tasha Hines
02:50And Amy Shark
02:52Last night your top 8 delivered a spectacle
02:56And you delivered the votes
02:58The response was like nothing we have ever seen before
03:03Voting though is now officially closed
03:06And your verdict will be revealed very soon
03:10Last night our idols faced their toughest test yet
03:13Tackling curveball songs chosen by you
03:16From start to finish it was a ride of unexpected and unforgettable performances
03:21Check it out
03:25Idol got turned on its head
03:27As our top 8 took on unexpected songs chosen by you
03:37I think you just created a new genre I think it's K-pop jukebox
03:42They rose to the challenge
03:47Our tradie Kalani talking about dancing in his heels is just what I needed
03:52Delivering spectacular moments
04:01Every time you walk on stage you're so pleasant but you're deadly
04:05Show stopping performances
04:08Great energy, great work, loved you tonight, good luck
04:11That lit up the stage
04:14I'm still the one I love, lover
04:17The only one I've dreamed of
04:21We'll just pull attention
04:23I know from the start
04:25Oh here he is
04:28I'm gonna crawl my eyelashes off, it's so good
04:32This was Idol at its absolute finest
04:36Cause I'm your lady
04:40Performing up there today, I felt free
04:43Lordy, lordy, lordy, lord
04:45That's the best we've ever seen you, sensational
04:48But one performance soared above them all
04:52Somebody to love
04:59What the actual
05:01So when it came to the judges say
05:04They only had one choice
05:07This person created a moment we'll never forget
05:10Harlan
05:12You, my friend, are straight into the top six
05:17So good
05:18I got the same
05:20I cannot believe what we just witnessed
05:23That we're seeing the same
05:24It's been huge
05:25Now eight will become six
05:28Everyone's so amazing but I really hope I've done enough
05:31As we count down to the finale
05:34I'm really hoping that I gave Australia what they wanted tonight
05:37I gave them my all and I'm hoping that's enough
05:38And you choose your Australian Idol
05:42I want to stay in this competition so badly
05:44I just have so much more to give
05:50All of those performances can be streamed right now on Spotify, Apple Music and iTunes
05:56Go and add them to your playlists right now
05:59I know I will be
06:00Kyle, Australia is voting
06:03To support their favourite idol
06:04But with the talent so good this year
06:06The results could swing either way, right?
06:09The votes have gone up like One Nation's takeover, have you noticed?
06:13It's right up there
06:14It's big votes
06:15We just had a chat before
06:17We can't figure out for the life of us
06:20We've got no clue
06:20They're all fantastic
06:22They really are
06:23For sure
06:24Amy, we're almost at the final stages of the competition
06:26And shortly we're going to have to say goodbye to two incredibly talented singers
06:30How are you feeling about that?
06:31It's sad for us because I just love watching these guys perform every week
06:37So it's sad but it's also exciting because they've shown the country just what they're capable of
06:42So no matter what happens, they're set
06:44We know how great they are
06:45So, so true
06:47Yeah, make some noise
06:49Marsha, later on in the show
06:51Marsha, we have a very special guest performance from Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright
06:57Are you excited about that?
07:00Oh look, you know, it's just so wonderful
07:02Dylan's doing incredibly well
07:04And he's happy
07:06He's settled
07:06And he's successful
07:08I mean, what more could anybody ask?
07:11I'm so proud of him
07:12He's doing an incredible job
07:14Flying the flag
07:15Now, thousands and thousands of you have been joining the conversation about Australian Idol
07:20We love to see all of your comments
07:23So keep them coming
07:24Scotty, what's everyone saying?
07:25You know I love this part
07:26You really love this part
07:28No, but honestly
07:28Yeah, yeah
07:29Honestly, it was just wall to wall with people predicting who's staying and who's going
07:33Okay
07:33And I can tell you right now, every single Idol has got a mention tonight in the last 24 hours
07:38There's no clear favourite, it's anyone's game
07:40There we go
07:41But also on tonight's show, you can catch us live right now on TikTok
07:45So look us up and you can go behind the scenes
07:47Nothing's off limits
07:48They're doing a full tour
07:49Well, there are some things off limits
07:50Nothing's off limits
07:52Ricky, I'm going to go check on the idols right now in the lounge
07:55All righty, all righty
07:56In just a moment, we will learn who is safe and which four idols will sing again to prove they
08:02should stay in the competition
08:03Then we will reveal your verdict and find out which two will be leaving Idol for good
08:09Scotty, what's the vibe like down there in the lounge?
08:12Oh, you know what it's like?
08:13There's always nerves here, but I'm here with the eight idols that performed last night
08:16But by the end of tonight, we're going to be left with only a top six
08:21Of course, our Brizzy boy Harlan, he scored the judges save last night
08:26You're safely through to next week
08:28The thing is, is everyone here, you're all really good friends
08:31I mean, Jacinta, whether you go tonight or stay, how are you feeling?
08:36Look, I'm feeling really blessed to be here
08:39I've never shared the stage with such talented and special humans
08:43So, whatever happens, happens, but just know I'm rooting for all of you
08:46Yeah, 100%
08:48And Jukebox Johnny, how are you feeling?
08:50I just think, um, I've learnt so, like, honestly so much from all of you
08:56And, like, I've grown so much as a person being around me for all this time
09:00And I'm so grateful for that
09:01So, whatever happens, I love you all
09:04And thank you so much
09:07You look like an idol family here

09:31Okay, sorry, sorry
09:32I've been doing this to entertain the audience

09:41You start to hang things
09:41Okay
09:43Oh, my God
09:44Alright, after last night's show, you voted to save your favourite idol
09:49The singers announced as safe will breathe a huge sigh of relief
09:54And take their place in the lounge with last night's judge save, Harlan
10:03The four who are not safe will sing again to demonstrate why they should get your votes next week
10:10If they survive tonight's elimination
10:12Alright, it is Verdict Time Australia

17:47Wow
17:48Judges
17:49Some great singers
17:50In the bottom four
17:51I know it's inevitable
17:52But Kyle and Amy
17:53Did you see this coming?
17:55I did not
17:55How's your maths going for this now?
17:57What?
17:58Mathematically
17:59Yeah mathematically
18:00I'm out of my league here
18:01Mathematically
18:02But
18:03I remember
18:04The Sunday night performance
18:05All very strong
18:07All fabulous
18:08But it's the nature of the contest
18:10Everyone will go
18:12Except for one
18:13This is on another level though
18:14This is like
18:14I feel like this show
18:15Has been building and building
18:16And we have some
18:17Just insane talent
18:19Like this season
18:20It's been absolutely phenomenal
18:22So
18:23You can't
18:24Still anyone's game
18:25Really
18:25Yeah
18:26Yeah
18:26Marsha
18:27We are at risk of losing
18:28Some serious talent
18:29Aren't we?
18:30Seriously
18:30Serious
18:31Talent
18:32You know
18:33I'm actually speechless
18:35So
18:35All I can do is wait
18:37To hear you guys sing again
18:39As always
18:40From my heart
18:41I wish you all the luck
18:42Do the best you can
18:44That's all you can do guys

18:57All four
18:57Will perform

18:59Their last time
19:01On the idol stage
19:02Then
19:02We'll reveal

19:44Kalani
19:45And Charlie
19:46Now each one
19:48Has a final chance

19:50In this position
19:51Next week

33:53We have
33:54An exclusive performance
33:56From Dylan Wright
33:59Yes
34:00The Aussie Idol winner
34:01Is now an Aria
34:03Chart topper
34:04And Golden Guitar winner
34:05And he is returning
34:06To the Idol stage
34:08Right after the break
34:20You're watching the Australian Idol
34:22Live verdict show
34:23A massive number of votes
34:26Came in for your idols
34:27And we are moments away
34:28From revealing
34:29Who will stay
34:30And who will go
34:31But first
34:32In 2024
34:33He was crowned
34:34The winner
34:35Of Australian Idol
34:36And since then
34:37He's won awards
34:38Top the charts
34:39And toured Australia
34:40And overseas
34:41Here to perform
34:42A single from his
34:43Brand new album
34:44This is Dylan Wright
34:50Those nights
34:53Are not what I think about
34:57When we were younger
35:00Sitting in my car
35:05We'd watch the colors
35:09Dance in the darkness
35:14We had nowhere to be
35:16No need to run
35:23I want to go back
35:25To when we were
35:26Wild and free
35:31We didn't know
35:32What the future
35:34Would make us be
35:39We'd roam the streets
35:41And we're never alone
35:43Each day
35:44I'll repeat
35:44Every thought
35:46If we go
35:48When the stars
35:50Are burning bright
35:53I'm thinking
35:54Of those nights
36:01I'm thinking
36:02Of those nights
36:10There's precious things
36:12On the counter
36:12Old laundry on the light
36:14Bill stacked on the table
36:16That I do all the time
36:18Things ain't been the same
36:20Since they were way back then
36:23Sometimes I wish
36:24I could trade this
36:26All in
36:27I want to go back
36:29To when we were
36:30Wild and free
36:34And we didn't know
36:37What the future
36:38Would make us be
36:43We're on the streets
36:45And we're never alone
36:47Each day
36:48Are we ever going to be gone
36:52When the stars
36:54Are burning bright
36:57I'm thinking
36:58Of those nights
37:01Oh-oh
37:05I'm thinking
37:06Of those nights
37:09Oh-oh-oh
37:15Memories
37:16Will never fail
37:17It'll be alright
37:19They keep us coming back
37:21I'm thinking
37:22Of those nights
37:25Oh-oh
37:29I'm thinking
37:30Of those nights
37:33Oh-oh-oh
37:36Yeah, I'm thinking
37:38Of those nights
37:41Oh-oh-oh
37:44Yeah, I'm thinking
37:46Of those nights
37:53I'm thinking
37:54Of those nights
38:05Australia, make some noise for Dylan Wright!
38:10Come on, it's so good to see you again!
38:13Oh my gosh, that song Dylan Wright and that brand new song Those Nights, my gosh, so good
38:18to see you back on this stage.
38:20Good to be back.
38:20For old time's sake, should we get some comments from the judges?
38:24Yes, do we have to?
38:25Judges, what did you think of Dylan's performance?
38:27How good is it having him back here?
38:29We were actually saying, it must be so surreal for you, you know?
38:33I mean, it's been a while, but it sort of, it all floods back like, whoa!
38:39The PTSD, it comes back straight away.
38:41It's good, it's good.
38:43Well, Dylan, you've been working so hard, like we see each other all the time at airports,
38:48and I love seeing you in the Daily Grind and just touring.
38:51That song is fantastic, like we couldn't be prouder of you, man.
38:54Well done for everything you've done.
38:56Thank you very much.
38:58Hey, are you and Amy gate dwellers at the airport, or are you like the Virgin Lounge type of...?
39:05We don't say, you know, we're everyone, you know?
39:08I'm a gate dweller.
39:09Are you really?
39:10That's surprising.
39:10I love the little muffin at the cafe.
39:12I'm not interested in those free biscuits and cheese.
39:14Oh, so you don't do the lounge?
39:15It's rubbish, the lounge.
39:16Oh no, because he's at the private terminal.
39:18Of course.
39:18Not anymore, I'm not.
39:21I'm lined up on Jetstar.
39:23It takes us McDonald's in, yeah.
39:25I love it.
39:26Dylan, your life changed forever when you won Australian Idol, number one album.
39:31You've performed in Nashville.
39:32You've won a golden guitar with your band, Sons of Atticus.
39:35The list goes on.
39:37Yes.
39:38What's been the highlight for you, would you say?
39:41Oh, it's been two years now, so it's been a huge whirlwind, and I've just been writing
39:47and recording so much.
39:48I've got three different projects.
39:50One's an electronic one called Breathe, one's Sons of Atticus, one's me, so just all of it.
39:56Just being on this show and being able to get onto the road and see as many people as possible,
40:00that's been a huge highlight for me.
40:02You're on the hustle.
40:03You're on the grind.
40:04I love it.
40:04Non-stop.
40:05It's the way to go.
40:07Dylan, you are heading out on tour again this May, and Lily Grace,
40:10from this year's Top 12, we'll be joining you for some of the dates.
40:14How cool is that?
40:15Yeah, a Northern Rivers local.
40:17Yes.
40:17So we had to have her on board.
40:19I've watched Lily Grace over the past few years, go to Tamworth and everything,
40:22so I'm so excited to kind of have her around our hometown up in the Northern Rivers.
40:27Love it.
40:27Can't wait to see you live.
40:28Got to get out there.
40:29Get out there, Australia.
40:30Grab your tickets and get behind Dylan Wright.
40:33His new album is out in July, but you can pre-order it right now.
40:37And we look forward to last year's Idol winner, Marshall Hamburger,
40:41hitting the stage next week, too.
40:44But for now, give it up for Dylan Wright.
40:51All right, business time.
40:53Straight after the break, it is the moment of truth.
40:56We will reveal which two are safe
40:58and which two will be eliminated from the competition.
41:01They are waiting backstage, ready to find out.
41:04So don't go anywhere.
41:05Australian Idol is back right after this.
41:18It's Australian Idol and we are 100% live.
41:22For 24 hours, your votes came pouring in
41:26as you fought to save your favourite Idol from elimination.
41:29Earlier tonight, we revealed who you voted as safe
41:32and into the top six.
41:34We also revealed who you voted in the bottom four
41:36and they sang again to show us
41:38why they shouldn't be in this spot next week
41:41if they survive tonight's elimination.
41:44Judges, what would you say to the viewers at home
41:46disappointed to see their favourite on the chopping block tonight?
41:50Well, it's hard because everyone loves someone for something,
41:54you know, and that's quite a unique personal thing.
41:57That's so true, but all I continue to say is,
42:00please, you know, if you really dig somebody,
42:01you've got to vote and vote hard
42:03and get your family to vote for them, you know?
42:05Yes.
42:05However you get those votes, get those votes.
42:08Hustle.
