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'll say, what can make me feel this way?
00:08:20It's my girl.
00:08:21My girl.
00:08:22My girl.
00:08:23My girl.
00:08:23I'm talking about my high girl.
00:08:27My girl.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:29Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:32I got so much honey.
00:08:37Even the bees and for me.
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 just say
00:08:56What can make me feel this way?
00:09:01It's my girl, my girl
00:09:04I'm talking about my girl, my girl
00:09:08Hey, my girl, 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 and I was born in the month of May
00:10:14So it was just always something that was sung in our house
00:10:17It just took me back to great memories
00:10:18And your spin on that, wow
00:10:21Like, talk about main character energy oozing out of everywhere
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch
00:10:28Oh, thank you
00:10:29You just got such an authentic sound
00:10:31I love it
00:10:32Thank you very much
00:10:33Thank you so much
00:10:39You 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 and then you plot as you go
00:10:48But I'm always very interested to hear how you end a song
00:10:53And that was really cool
00:10:54Well done, Charlie
00:10:55Oh, thank you so much
00:10:56Thank you so much
00:11:00Yeah, Charlie, 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

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

00:11:37And it just means so much, you know

00:12:39Okay, 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
00:13:14Because 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
00:13:25Suddenly I See
00:13:26By Katie Tunstall
00:13:27From Devil Wears Prada
00:13:28She's a Grammy-nominated singer
00:13:30And like me
00:13:31She comes from a small town
00:13:32And I've actually been lucky enough
00:13:35To organise a little Zoom chat
00:13:37With Katie herself
00:13:39Hello
00:13:39How are you?
00:13:40Hi, Lily Grace
00:13:42How are you?

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 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 connected with it
00:14:01Is sometimes 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
00:14:12That 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

00:32:40which is all pretty fresh
00:32:41but i'm excited the judges kind of gave me another chance

00:36:19Hey, you know, like I keep saying, you've got one of those really cool rock voices
00:36:24And did you see the response of the audience when you walked down there and you paid them some attention?
00:36:31For sure, yeah, that's great
00:36:32Honey, I would have stayed there myself
00:36:34You know, I mean, you did a great job, Harry
00:36:36And it's really just loosen up, man
00:36:38You know, like, it's rock and roll
00:36:41It's not kind and sweet
00:36:43It's good and nasty
00:36:45For sure
00:36:46Okay, well, yes, because you know it is
00:36:49But well done, Harry
00:36:50Thank you, Marcia
00:36:50You're welcome
00:36:55Ah, Paige, that was
00:36:58So I was nervous because, you know, you're like
00:37:01I was watching the little package put together
00:37:04And you're like, feeling it
00:37:05And I was like, oh, please
00:37:06Like, it's just, it's such a fine line
00:37:08With, like, you know, rock and roll and then cringe
00:37:11And that was the coolest you 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, like, I know you're still, like, hitting marks and stuff
00:37:28But 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 had a really good time watching you
00:37:36Well done
00:37:43She had a really good time watching you
00:37:46That's really what an artist wants to hear
00:37:48They want
00:37:50Because to be really successful in this business
00:37:52You either
00:37:53You either want to be that person on stage
00:37:55Or you want to have sex with that person on stage
00:37:59That's really what being an artist is
00:38:01You think it's about singing and writing
00:38:03No one gives a shit about that
00:38:04Right?
00:38:06You did everything we told you to do from last week
00:38:09Yes
00:38:09You looked like you were having a way better time
00:38:11I still think you could have a better time
00:38:13Yep
00:38:14Without hitting the cringe mark
00:38:15Because 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
00:38:24You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing
00:38:26But it's tough
00:38:27These are the weeks you want to stay in
00:38:29You don't want to be eliminated
00:38:30But very well done man
00:38:32Nice work
00:38:32Thanks so much Kyle
00:38:33Cheers
00:38:36Harry
00:38:36That 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
00:38:47Yeah
00:38:48A long way to go obviously
00:38:49But
00:38:49No you looked really comfortable up here
00:38:51Now Harry you are a barber back home
00:38:53And your parents are manning the barber's chairs while you're here at Idle
00:38:58Is it true that they're busier than ever with people wanting a haircut?
00:39:03It is
00:39:03It's very true
00:39:04I think
00:39:04The phone's ringing off the hook looking for me
00:39:06I've had a few people that are sad that I'm here instead of back home cutting hair
00:39:11Does his parents even cut hair?
00:39:13They do
00:39:13I thought they'd just been there going
00:39:16Just keeping it alive
00:39:18They're not very good haircuts while I'm away
00:39:20But they're fine
00:39:21I just can't stop thinking about the haircut I gave to my husband during COVID
00:39:25Whoa
00:39:26It was the worst thing anyone's ever seen
00:39:28To keep Harry's rock star dream alive
00:39:33You 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

00:39:48Put your hands together everybody

00:41:26You did it
00:41:27I 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
00:41:35And 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 12, what song do you see?
00:41:46I'm singing Circle of Life from The Lion King
00:41:48Circle of Life
00:41:50Oh my gosh
00:41:51The most powerful song ever
00:41:53My connection to the Circle of Life is
00:41:55Thinking about the generations of wonderful women in my family
00:41:59I'm so grateful to have been raised by strong, powerful women
00:42:04Lionesses 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
00:42:13Circle 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
00:42:30Like, I feel like you're really thinking about your phrasing
00:42:33You just need to relax into it
00:42:34Yeah, totally
00:42:35It almost feels robotic
00:42:36Too tight
00:42:37Too tight, yeah
00:42:38Yeah
00:42:38This song does not allow for robotics
00:42:41It needs to be emotive
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, powerful women
00:42:48Exactly
00:42:49And just really channeling that
00:42:50It'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 yaya, my grandma
00:43:00I'm thinking about my mum
00:43:01I'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
00:43:10On the day we arrived on the planet
00:43:19And Lincoln stepped into the sun
00:43:25There's more to be seen
00:43:28That could ever be seen
00:43:30More to do
00:43:32That could ever be done
00:43:36That's far too much to take in here
00:43:42More to find they could ever be found
00:43:46But the sun rolling high
00:43:51Through the sapphire sky
00:43:53Meets great in the small endless round
00:43:58And the sun full of life
00:44:03It's the will 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 of wanting
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
00:45:03Circle of life
00:45:29At the beginning
00:45:30The 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
00:45:50Fabulous work

00:46:02Oh thank you
00:46:03Yes she has
00:46:03So you know look
00:46:05I want to say Samila

00:46:07From one of the most populous shows
00:46:10In the world

00:46:14Yes

00:46:17I actually
00:46:17The first time I saw that
00:46:20Stage show
00:46:20I burst into tears
00:46:21It was so moving
00:46:22Oh God you're one of them
00:46:24Oh I know I'm that person
00:46:25Yes I am that person
00:46:27And I'm so happy to be
00:46:29But that was so beautiful
00:46:30And emotive
00:46:31And just
00:46:32It just
00:46:33Yeah

00:47:02I think I had Lion King curtains
00:47:04I was
00:47:05Obsessed with that movie
00:47:06And you just had this way
00:47:07Of always taking me back
00:47:09To these beautiful moments
00:47:10And
00:47:11You have no bells and whistles

00:47:45As you do with everything
00:47:46Look absolutely effortless
00:47:48Thank you Ricky
00:47:48It was such a big song to sing
00:47:51And it's such an iconic song
00:47:53So
00:47:53I 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
00:48:01A 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
00:48:09Lion 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 Ricky
00:48:23The Circle of Life
00:48:25Is my absolute favourite
00:48:26And I cry every time I hear it
00:48:27And I
00:48:28I had all the emotions just then
00:48:30I was really upset
00:48:31That no one
00:48:31Put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh yeah
00:48:33Where's the babies

00:50:23To be honest

00:50:25The whole town

00:50:26Alright well for movie week

00:50:38All the way
00:50:46This is Jacinta
00:50:50What a transformation
00:50:51You're unstoppable now babe
00:50:53Let's go
00:50:54Being in the top 12
00:50:55Is surreal
00:50:56I am starting to feel like
00:50:58My day to day life
00:51:00Is somewhat
00:51:01Of a famous person
00:51:02But I just feel like
00:51:04Regular Jacinta
00:51:05You know
00:51:06I've had a lot of
00:51:07People reach out to me
00:51:08A lot of
00:51:09Really lovely comments
00:51:11Go Jacinta
00:51:12Do it for the fall cliff girlie
00:51:14You sing me
00:51:15Woohoo
00:51:17Seeing you own who you are
00:51:18Makes me feel confident
00:51:19And makes me want to be myself
00:51:21Even when it's scary
00:51:22I spent a lot of my life alone
00:51:25And not really having anyone
00:51:27Understand me
00:51:28That's really special
00:51:29So if I can inspire
00:51:31So if I can inspire and encourage others
00:51:32To know that they have a place
00:51:34Then I think that's probably the most special thing
00:51:37It's movie week
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:39What are you singing this week?
00:51:41So I'm singing Dreams by the Cranberries
00:51:44From the film You've Got Mail
00:51:45Amazing
00:51:46I 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
00:51:55This 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
00:52:13Okay, cool
00:52:14That's probably not your strongest
00:52:17I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:20I know it's a scary thing
00:52:22Because you're so used to singing in a certain place
00:52:25But in this moment
00:52:27That's when the band are lifting
00:52:28We need you to not disappear into the band either
00:52:31My biggest concern is not fully opening up vocally
00:52:36If I get lost and swallowed up by the band
00:52:39The performance will fall flat
00:52:40Got to keep the intensity of that
00:52:42Because you got there and then you went
00:52:43Yeah
00:52:44I want to do it for the people
00:52:46I'm inspiring
00:52:46I can't let these people down
00:52:48They will be at the forefront
00:52:50When I perform
00:52:58All my life
00:53:00It's changing every day
00:53:05In every possible way
00:53:13In all my dreams
00:53:17It's never quite as it seems
00:53:21Never quite as it seems
00:53:25I know I felt like this before
00:53:31But now I'm feeling it even more
00:53:35Because it came from you
00:53:59I know I felt like this before
00:54:05I know I felt like this before
00:54:09Because it came from you
00:54:14Because it came from you
00:54:39It's never quite as it seems
00:54:43Cause you're gonna dream to me
00:54:47Dream to me
00:55:14I know I felt like this before
00:55:15But now I felt like this before
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
00:55:53You 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 I think she lived
00:56:09An 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 tell 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
00:56:30Vocally but like
00:56:32Physically 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
00:56:55A song like that
00:56:56I have no problem with it
00:56:57But you find your own
00:56:59Interpretation with
00:57:00The instructions that
00:57:02That 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
00:57:10Okay
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
00:57:17To 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
00:57:24Of your ability
00:57:25You know
00:57:26You're worried about
00:57:26The band drawing you out
00:57:27You don't let no band
00:57:28Drawing 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
00:57:37Thank you
00:57:37You're welcome
00:57:46Okay
00:57:46Real talk
00:57:47What's going on
00:57:48Yeah
00:57:48Are you alright
00:57:49Yeah
00:57:49I'm good
00:57:50What's going on
00:57:51Sorry guys
00:57:52Just sit me with the headline
00:57:54What's going on
00:57:54Um
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 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
00:58:15Got 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 swallow you up
00:58:57Don't let it
00:58:58Don't let it win
00:58:59Yeah
00:58:59Thank you
00:59:00Thank you
00:59:08You 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 and into the light
00:59:17Was the most incredibly beautiful thing
00:59:19And you are doing such an incredible job
00:59:21That was a stunning performance
00:59:23Anything
00:59:23You are our fabulous forklift driver
00:59:31How was that performance for you?
00:59:32I know the judges had a lot to say
00:59:34You guys had a
00:59:34Had a little chat
00:59:35But how did it feel
00:59:36That performance for you?
00:59:39It felt
00:59:39Parts 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
01:00:05So we saw in your video package
01:00:07All those letters coming in
01:00:08Kyle's

01:00:11All the forklift drivers
01:00:13From around the country

01:00:15How does it make you feel
01:00:17When you see that support?
01:00:19That's going to make you feel

01:00:59Alright
01:00:59Well we have come to the end
01:01:02Of the performances for tonight
01:01:03That means it's time for our judges
01:01:06To deliberate on who they'll save
01:01:07From the public vote
01:01:08And send directly into the top ten
01:01:11And that Mission Impossible
01:01:13Is coming up
01:01:14Don't go anywhere
01:01:24Welcome back
01:01:25All tonight's idols have performed
01:01:27And shortly the judges must make
01:01:29The tough decision
01:01:30On who they will save
01:01:32From the viewer vote
01:01:33And send directly
01:01:34Into the top ten
01:01:35Kyle
01:01:36You guys are finding it
01:01:37Really tough tonight
01:01:38Aren't you
01:01:39Because everyone has stepped up
01:01:40Well nearly everyone
01:01:42Has stepped up tonight
01:01:43I think
01:01:44It's obvious who hasn't
01:01:45But it's still anyone's game
01:01:47It's anyone's contest
01:01:48This is the hardest part
01:01:50And a lot of people's favourites
01:01:52Every week someone goes home
01:01:53Unfortunately
01:01:54Yeah it is the hard part
01:01:56Now while they hash it out
01:01:57Let's check in
01:01:59On what your top twelve
01:02:00Have been up to this week
01:02:01It hasn't just been rehearsals
01:02:03Far from it
01:02:04They've been living
01:02:05The full idol experience
01:02:07Flashing cameras
01:02:09Luxury rides
01:02:10Recording studios
01:02:11And VIP events
01:02:12They have stepped into the spotlight
01:02:14And totally owned it
01:02:19Top twelve's insane
01:02:20I feel like there's just
01:02:22Always something that's going on
01:02:24Today we are getting
01:02:25The best opportunities
01:02:27Like workshops with Sony
01:02:29Workshops with the Annex
01:02:31Recording studio with the Hive
01:02:33It is just like creme de la creme
01:02:36Top twelve everyone
01:02:37Yeah I mean the fact
01:02:38We're travelling
01:02:39And riding in a limo
01:02:40I feel luxurious
01:02:43Has anyone ever been in a limo before?
01:02:46Not 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 to be looking after people like
01:03:01Sia, Five Seconds of Summer
01:03:03ACDC
01:03:04I'm feeling so so damn lucky to be here
01:03:07For this private songwriting workshop
01:03:09Such a blessing
01:03:09I think just write what you want to write
01:03:11And say what you want to say
01:03:12That's always the ultimate goal when it comes to writing a song
01:03:15Is how can we make your experience come alive
01:03:18I never had this kind of expertise
01:03:21Or this kind of like knowledge about the industry so much before Idol
01:03:25We're heading to the Annex to 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 to growing your audience
01:03:35So that when people land they immediately can get an understanding of who you are
01:03:39There is a lot to learn
01:03:41Got to keep up with these Gen Z's
01:03:43Working on the gram
01:03:45Working on the 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 the top 12 single
01:03:56Who's Excited?
01:04:01I've definitely got a taste of what being a recording artist could be
01:04:04And I will do whatever it takes for this to be my life
01:04:09This is such a good look into the music industry
01:04:12Seeing how it all works has really made me want this even more
01:04:15Well done guys, I think we've got it
01:04:22How cool
01:04:23It's 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, it'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 this 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 gigging
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
01:05:21That's what they say
01:05:21Well everyone
01:05:22As you saw in the video
01:05:24The Top 12 were recording their debut single all night long
01:05:28You can download that right now on iTunes
01:05:31And get it pumping
01:05:32The Top 12 will perform that live
01:05:35For the very first time on Tuesday's live results show
01:05:39Oh yeah
01:05:40I can see the judges have come to a decision
01:05:43So up next they will announce who they'll save from this week's public vote
01:05:48The decision you've been waiting for right after this
01:06:00You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026
01:06:05They'll win a life changing $100,000
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
01:06:29At Sydney's Hive Sound Studios
01:06:36Yeah that is all waiting for the winner
01:06:38Studio Time Songwriting Camp
01:06:40Tickets to the 40th anniversary of the Aria Awards
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
01:07:07Six incredible singers
01:07:08But only one judge saved to use
01:07:11Such 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
01:07:23Their next Australian Idol
01:07:24Or their Top 10
01:07:25Yeah I think
01:07:26I mean I'm really proud of everyone
01:07:28That is here
01:07:30So yeah it's all up to Australia now
01:07:33This is our last little bit
01:07:34That 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
01:07:40Who 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
01:07:54But we're only allowed to save one
01:07:56And the person we're saving today
01:07:59Is someone who made us feel
01:08:02An 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
