00:00:31Hello, I'm Ricky Lee.

00:00:37Wow, what a crowd.
00:00:40Last night we premiered movie week where your idols gave award winning performances with songs from the silver screen.
00:00:47And tonight it's the sequel as more of your idols take centre stage to sing for your votes.
00:00:53Tonight's soundtracks include songs from Pretty Woman, Deadpool, Willy Wonka, Frozen and more.

00:01:29Yeah!
00:01:46Woohoo!
00:01:47A very good evening, judges.
00:01:49You all look fantastic tonight.
00:01:51Okay, so here's a little refresh on how the top 12 works.
00:01:55Last night we saw six amazing idols perform.
00:01:59Charlie, Lily Grace, Kalani, Harry, Samela and Jacinta.
00:02:03Samela claimed the judges save, scoring immunity from the public vote and securing herself a coveted place in the top
00:02:1110.
00:02:11Australia.
00:02:13Oh, yeah.
00:02:15Australia, your votes poured in, but time is up.
00:02:21Voting has closed and the results will be revealed live tomorrow night.
00:02:27Right now though, six more idols will hit the stage singing for your votes and their shot at the top
00:02:3310.
00:02:33Yeah.
00:02:33We have got Kesha, our singing skier from Jindalbine.
00:02:38Johnny Jukebox from Bunbury in Western Australia.
00:02:43And brizzy boy Harlan.
00:02:45There he is.
00:02:48Plus, three Victorians vying for victory.
00:02:52Soul singing waitress Juan Wu.
00:02:55Young dad Trey.
00:02:59And our Melbourne model Sophie.
00:03:06Voting is now open for these idols.
00:03:09Text who you want to see in the top 10.
00:03:11It's as simple as that.
00:03:13Details are on the screen right now.
00:03:15Thanks to the all new Jaiku J5 EV powering electric idol performances.
00:03:21Now you can vote up to 10 times.
00:03:22Use them all on one idol.
00:03:24You can spread the love.
00:03:25Text now or you can wait until you've seen everyone perform.
00:03:28It is up to you.
00:03:29And don't forget, after everyone has sung, the judges have the power to save one idol from the public vote.
00:03:37Instantly locking them into a top 10 spot.
00:03:41An invaluable lifeline for one lucky idol tonight.
00:03:45Alright, Kyle and Marsha.
00:03:46In the wake of today's Oscars, in your opinion, what will make a performance truly Oscar worthy for you?
00:03:52Well, I always think the Oscars are the worst films that no one goes to see.
00:03:58Happy Madison never won one Oscar.
00:04:01Such a good movie.
00:04:02It's outrageous, right?
00:04:03Oh.
00:04:04Look, the soundtracks really do make the film.
00:04:07They make the movie, yeah.
00:04:08Like sometimes you remember the music more than you remember the movie, right?
00:04:12That's true.
00:04:12Some amazing ones over the years.
00:04:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:14Amy, what should our idols keep in mind as they step into the spotlight tonight?
00:04:19Well, I think as stressful as it feels, like you're here, you might as well just take a few deep
00:04:25breaths and go for it.
00:04:26For it.
00:04:26You know?
00:04:27Just absolutely go for it.
00:04:28Wise words.
00:04:29Alright, well, let's get into it with our first performance of the night.
00:04:32She's the 22-year-old singing skier from Jindabyne taking on a mega 80s hit from one of the highest
00:04:40grossing films in recent history.
00:04:42This is Kesha!
00:04:52Top 12 is like insane.
00:04:55It's the biggest achievement of my life.
00:04:57So, I'm very, very stoked.
00:05:00Last week, Kyle told me I looked like a superhero.
00:05:04You look incredible.
00:05:05It's Xena Warrior Princess.
00:05:07You're a real contender.
00:05:08That was excellent.
00:05:09I mean, my outfit was very silver and metallic.
00:05:12And actually pretty superhero-like.
00:05:17So, I'm throwing them all the superheroes this week.
00:05:25For Top 12 movie week, I am singing Like a Prayer from the movie Deadpool.
00:05:30This song is from the iconic Deadpool and Wolverine fight scene.
00:05:35So, it's a pretty epic scene in the film.
00:05:38And I want my performance to be epic.
00:05:42How do you relate to this song?
00:05:44I think there's a couple powers that everyone would want to have.
00:05:48You know, power of like being fearless.
00:05:50Everything.
00:05:51Being able to walk onto the stage and not really have a thought.
00:05:54I would just go for it.
00:05:57Thousands of people watching you have to be fearless.
00:05:59You don't have a choice.
00:06:00Otherwise, you crumble under pressure.
00:06:02It's just not an option in this stage of the competition.
00:06:05It's a bit of a genre change for you.
00:06:08Yeah, it definitely is.
00:06:09I mean, it's different from my slower, really, you know, hectic ballads.
00:06:16When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:06:21I'm down on my knees.
00:06:23I want to take you there.
00:06:26Changing the genre.
00:06:28It's definitely a risk.
00:06:32Lean in.
00:06:33Commit, commit, commit, commit.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:35Because other just feels like a steam train.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38This is full crunch time.
00:06:40It's really difficult.
00:06:42If I don't get this song right, 100% my dreams could be over.
00:06:52Life is a mystery.
00:06:58Everyone must stand alone.
00:07:02I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.
00:07:15When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:07:19I'm down on my knees.
00:07:22I want to take you there.
00:07:24In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:07:28Just like a prayer.
00:07:30You know I'll take you there.
00:07:32I hear your voice.
00:07:36It's like an angel flying.
00:07:40I have no choice.
00:07:43I hear your voice.
00:07:47Heaven help me.
00:07:49Just like a prayer.
00:07:51Your voice will take me there.
00:07:53Just like a muse to me.
00:07:55You are a mystery.
00:07:57You are a mystery.
00:07:58Just like a dream.
00:07:59You are on what you seem.
00:08:02Just like a prayer.
00:08:03No choice.
00:08:04Your voice will take me there.
00:08:08When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:08:12I'm down on my knees.
00:08:14I want to take you there.
00:08:16In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:08:20Just like a prayer.
00:08:22Just like a prayer.
00:08:23You know I'll take you there.
00:08:25Just like a prayer.
00:08:27You know I'll take you there.
00:08:29Just like a muse to me.
00:08:31You are a mystery.
00:08:33Just like a prayer.
00:08:35No choice.
00:08:35You know I'll take you there.
00:08:38Just like a prayer.
00:08:39No choice.
00:08:40Your voice will take me there.
00:08:44No choice.
00:08:56No choice.
00:08:58No choice.
00:08:59Yes, yes, yes.
00:09:14Oh, thank you, girls.
00:09:20Wow!
00:09:23Oh, my God!
00:09:31I know Marcia's supposed to be speaking first.
00:09:35I know Marcia's supposed to be...
00:09:36That was a great start to the show.
00:09:42And doing a Madonna song, everyone knows that,
00:09:46so I was like, oh, everyone's going to compare,
00:09:48and you smashed it, babe.
00:09:50You smashed it.
00:09:53Thank you so much.
00:09:54What about when she just flicked the hand
00:09:57because she knew she had that note coming?
00:09:59It's like we've just been to the Kesha show
00:10:02and now we're just dissecting it.
00:10:03It was amazing.
00:10:03It truly was top level.
00:10:05I loved it.
00:10:06Kesha, you know, I, me, myself, Bing, and Amy,
00:10:11we love strong women,
00:10:12and that's how you present.
00:10:14You know, obviously you do gigs.
00:10:17It's obviously you know what movements to make.
00:10:20That's what it's all about,
00:10:21and what a great way to start the show.
00:10:23Well done, honey.
00:10:24Well done.
00:10:24Thank you so much.
00:10:28Um, Kesha, like, just no notes, really.
00:10:35Carry on as you were.
00:10:36That was, that was fantastic.
00:10:38Yay, Kesha!
00:10:42So good.
00:10:43Kesha, you've cast a spell over the judges.
00:10:47I've never in my life seen Kyle move that quickly.
00:10:50I was a bit nervous.
00:10:51That was awesome.
00:10:52I was a bit nervous because, like,
00:10:53usually when you go to people's barbecues,
00:10:55who, who else, the big boys here,
00:10:56don't like the white plastic chairs?
00:10:59You know, and this desk, I was like, hmm, I'll give it a go.
00:11:01This isn't Timu.
00:11:02This is real stuff.
00:11:04This is real, this is real wood.
00:11:05It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:08It must be freedom.
00:11:09Oh, I loved it.
00:11:10It's amazing.
00:11:11Kesha, that was an incredible performance.
00:11:13I mean, it's a dumb question,
00:11:14but how do you think that went?
00:11:17Oh, I mean, I felt great.
00:11:20Like, it's just the crowd, my beautiful,
00:11:22always my beautiful friends and family.
00:11:29Like, yeah, I'm obsessed with them.
00:11:32And my, like, everyone who's competing here is so amazing.
00:11:36So when you're surrounded by people that just support you,
00:11:39it's, you know, this band and...
00:11:40You're going to be better finishing at the clap.
00:11:42Oh, my gosh.
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44It's amazing.
00:11:44I saw you backstage and you just said,
00:11:46I just want to get out there
00:11:47and I just want to get this done and over with.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:49And, my God, you just knocked it out of the park.
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:52Australia is voting tonight.
00:11:54Why should they get behind our skiing singer?
00:12:01Why do you reckon they should get behind you?
00:12:03Oh, hey, music is my life.
00:12:06It's my passion.
00:12:07It's my love.
00:12:07And if I can do that and have a job that I love and share that
00:12:12with amazing people like you guys in the crowd,
00:12:14that's just, like, everything you could ask for as a musician.
00:12:19So...
00:12:19Oh, yeah.
00:12:20Well, if you want to see Kesha in the top ten,
00:12:24you need to vote Australia.

00:14:23Oh, that was so embarrassing.
00:14:25Pretty Woman.
00:14:26Pretty Woman.
00:14:29I don't believe you.
00:14:31You're not the truth.
00:14:34Yeah, so there's an extra two beats there.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:37I'm struggling a bit with the timing of this song.
00:14:40It's very tricky.
00:14:41Oh, shit.
00:14:44Grit!
00:14:47Just remembering that timing stuff, okay?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:52There's just a lot going on in my head.

00:15:22Pretty Woman.
00:15:24I don't believe you.
00:15:27You're not the truth.
00:15:28No one can look as good as you.
00:15:38Pretty Woman.
00:15:40Stop a while.
00:15:42Pretty Woman.

00:15:55Pretty Woman.
00:15:57Pretty Woman.

00:16:23Pretty Woman.
00:16:25Pretty Woman.

00:17:25grandma song
00:17:27an absolute classic for the young,
00:17:30the middle, the old.
00:17:31The good thing about you is that
00:17:33everyone knows that song, and I mean from our
00:17:35Nana's age. Nana was getting
00:17:37frisky with grandpa during that.
00:17:40And he was like,
00:17:41whoa, pretty woman.
00:17:43This will blow you away,
00:17:45but they were doing things that
00:17:47you'll be surprised about.
00:17:49When you get older,
00:17:51you'll know.
00:17:52That is exactly what you need to do.
00:17:55You're a joy to watch.
00:17:56You bring every old song, you make it modern,
00:17:58you make it youthful, you make it powerful.
00:18:00You're a real contender to win this contest,
00:18:03young man.
00:18:13Johnny, you are fearless,
00:18:15you are funky,
00:18:17and you are so on time,
00:18:18because what you're doing is introducing
00:18:20older music to a younger crowd,
00:18:23and what you're doing with it
00:18:25is so cool.
00:18:27And look, I just, you're entertaining,
00:18:29and that's what it's all about.
00:18:37I agree with these guys, Johnny.
00:18:38You're like, I think you're a genius.
00:18:40I think what you have created here is just so smart and fun,
00:18:47and I just wanted to go clubbing,
00:18:48and I haven't been clubbing in a long time,
00:18:51but that music is just so,
00:18:54the arrangement and the energy you put into your show
00:18:58is just, it's addictive, man.
00:19:00You're always so good.
00:19:02I always, like, see your name, and I'm like,
00:19:03yes, Johnny's up.
00:19:05Thank you so much.
00:19:10Johnny, can I just say,
00:19:12the pitch of the screams in here when you perform
00:19:16are next level.
00:19:18It's crazy.
00:19:19That was a huge performance.
00:19:20How do you think that went?
00:19:22It's just, I think it went well,
00:19:24but I'm just so happy I can be here.
00:19:27I'm treating every performance just like another stepping stone,
00:19:30so, yeah, I'm just, it's just so good.
00:19:33It was amazing.
00:19:34What did you guys think?
00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow.
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies screaming.
00:19:45It's the old ladies that are usually doing it.
00:19:46They can't scream that loud.
00:19:47Now, you mentioned in the video
00:19:49that you were singing that for a crush.
00:19:52Do you want to, um, I don't know, maybe spill?
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind, Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's here?
00:19:59Nah.
00:20:00It's not me.
00:20:01I can't say on national television.
00:20:02You're not going to say?
00:20:02What if they're watching?
00:20:03We'll say, say, just say hello.
00:20:04Give a little wink and a little.
00:20:05Hello.
00:20:07You've got to do it a bit more cool.
00:20:09I've got to be cool now.
00:20:09Be cool.
00:20:09Everyone just chill.
00:20:10Be cool.
00:20:11Say hello.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:12Be cool.
00:20:15Okay.
00:20:16Okay.
00:20:16That was the opposite.
00:20:18Okay, Johnny.
00:20:20Oh my gosh.
00:20:22I'm going to have to talk to you a bit later.
00:20:23Being an idol gets you perks, right?
00:20:26Like VIP passes to see Pretty Woman.
00:20:28That was pretty cool.
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:29Oh, that was so cool.
00:20:31Got to meet Samantha Jade.
00:20:32It's just neck level.
00:20:33Oh my gosh.
00:20:34Okay.
00:20:35Oh, Johnny.
00:20:36Sorry, I've got to be cool.
00:20:37Johnny.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Be cool.
00:20:37Don't tell me Samantha Jade's the crush, is it?
00:20:40Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:41Could be.
00:20:42Because I know her husband, so it's very awkward.
00:20:44It's very awkward.
00:20:46Well, Pretty Woman the Musical is touring Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this year.
00:20:49Make sure you check it out.
00:20:50It is amazing.
00:20:52Alright, Australia.
00:20:52You know what to do.
00:20:53If you want to see John through to the top ten, the only way to get him there is to
00:20:58vote.
00:20:58Vote.
00:20:59Vote.
00:21:00Give it up for John.
00:21:06Alright, still to make their top 12 debut is Wan Woo, Trey and Melbourne model Sophie.
00:21:13But up next, our 18 year old Brizzy boy Harlan, who had some extra help getting ready for this
00:21:18week's performance.
00:21:19He met with an A-lister who hit the stage at today's Oscars.
00:21:24Just wait until you see who it is.
00:21:37Welcome back to Idol.
00:21:39Look, it's not movie week without your movie snacks.
00:21:42You've got your popcorn, your drinks and you can't forget your choc tops.
00:21:47And speaking of chocolate, this week Harlan is taking on a song from the iconic movie Willy Wonka and the
00:21:52Chocolate Factory.
00:21:53And he had the opportunity to link up with the award winning A-lister Josh Groban to help him prepare
00:22:00for tonight's performance.
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week, it's movie week.
00:22:10I am singing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
00:22:15Today I get the absolute privilege and honour to meet the Josh Groban.
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums.
00:22:22He's a Grammy-nominated artist.
00:22:24And Josh has actually covered this song and I really just want to know how he fine-tuned and tweaked
00:22:28his version of it.
00:22:29Hey.
00:22:30Hi, how are you?
00:22:31Harlan, Josh.
00:22:32Nice to meet you.
00:22:34Yeah.
00:22:34First of all, congratulations.
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs and you've got such a magnificent instrument.
00:22:39Oh, thank you.
00:22:39You're so good.
00:22:40So this is movie songs.
00:22:42Yes, yes, yes.
00:22:43Oh, man.
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination, which you've done a wonderful cover of.
00:22:46Yes, thank you very much.
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia.
00:22:49It takes you back to that place.
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of inspiration from your amazing cover.
00:22:54So with this song, I like to start it really simple.
00:22:58You can grab people's attention with bigness immediately.
00:23:02But then that overstays its welcome.
00:23:04Yeah.
00:23:04And people start to get like, okay, my hair's been blown back for a while now.
00:23:08Do you want to just sing just a tiny bit for me?
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:23:22What are you thinking about when you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling of watching that movie.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:29Like when you see the doors of this massive factory open.
00:23:32And it's just like that childlike wonder and just like awe.
00:23:36So in fact that joy.
00:23:37If you can tap in to that place, then you're golden.
00:23:41It's always great to kind of dare to let them lean in.
00:23:43Like let them come to you.
00:23:45And an audience just wants to feel this.
00:23:47That's really all they want.
00:23:49Meeting Josh was an incredible experience.
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now that I can apply to my own performance.
00:23:56I really hope I can tap into the feeling of nostalgia.
00:23:59You can get all the notes right, but the notes don't matter if you don't have the feeling.
00:24:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.
00:24:22Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
00:24:34We'll begin with a spin.
00:24:40Traveling in a world of my creation.
00:24:45What we'll see will defy explanation.
00:24:57If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it.
00:25:08Anything you want to do it.
00:25:12Anything you want to do it.
00:25:14If you want to change the world, there's nothing to it.
00:25:21There is no life I know.
00:25:28To compare with your imagination.
00:25:34Living there, you'll be free.
00:25:38If you can leave.
00:25:43If you can leave.
00:25:45Wish you'll be.
00:25:48Wish you'll be.
00:25:51Wish you'll be.
00:25:55Yeah.
00:26:03Come with me.
00:26:30Well, Harlan, I have no face because you just melted it off.
00:26:37You are just, I think we're having one of these moments where we're seeing someone with an extreme talent.
00:26:49Like, that was just incredible.
00:26:53I don't know how you compose yourself.
00:26:57You could have heard a pin drop then.
00:26:59Like, you had everyone in the palm of your hand.
00:27:02It's not like you've been doing this your whole life.
00:27:03This is like the early stages of your career.
00:27:07That, I mean, well done.
00:27:08I don't know what else to say.
00:27:59Thank you, Lord.
00:28:00You're welcome.
00:28:01You're welcome.
00:28:06Harlan.
00:28:08Great voice.
00:28:09You're a wonderful performer.
00:28:11Every time we see you, we're always gobsmacked.
00:28:14And I never watched that dumb movie.
00:28:17You haven't seen that one either?
00:28:19Nor do I like that dumb song at all.
00:28:21But you owned, I've never even heard that song, just so you know.
00:28:25Never.
00:28:25But you did a great job.
00:28:28It didn't matter that I'd never heard it.
00:28:29I thought you did a remarkable job.
00:28:31And I think you owned the night so far.
00:28:33You're the best so far.
00:28:35Thank you, guys.
00:28:45My goodness.
00:28:46You know what my favourite thing is, is when Marsha is watching someone
00:28:50and she thinks they're so amazing, she almost looks like she's angry with you.
00:28:54I can never tell.
00:28:56I'm so scared.
00:28:57Furious at you during that.
00:28:58That was insane.
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:02A couple of sound checks.
00:29:03I'm like, I get to one point, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm nearly fainting
00:29:06because it's, like, a lot physically.
00:29:08But, yeah, it felt good.
00:29:10I'm so grateful to be here and I'm so grateful to be here so young.
00:29:13It's an amazing opportunity.
00:29:14Oh, wow.
00:29:15It's amazing.
00:29:17We're so lucky to have you.
00:29:18My goodness.
00:29:19And you got the chance to meet the Josh Groban
00:29:22who literally flew home hours after you catch up
00:29:25and then hit the Oscars, Sage.
00:29:26What was that like meeting him?
00:29:30Um, I didn't really know what to expect someone at his level.
00:29:33Like, he's saying with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, like, nearly everyone.
00:29:37But he was probably one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life.
00:29:41He was such a beautiful, beautiful man.
00:29:45And the biggest, like, note I got from him
00:29:48was to just lead with kindness and be kind
00:29:50and tune everything else out.
00:29:52Really, really, really beautiful.
00:29:54Amazing.
00:29:55Well, Josh's new album, Cinematic, is out on May 8th.
00:29:58His voice is incredible.
00:29:59Go and check it out.
00:30:00And if you want to see Harlan sing again,
00:30:03you have to vote Australia.
00:30:04Text Harlan to get him into the top of ten.
00:30:09Put your hands together for Harlan!
00:30:12Thank you, Josh.
00:30:16After the break, we have got our soul-singing Waitress Wanwoo
00:30:21taking on a smash hit from a family favourite classic.
00:30:24It is a good one.
00:30:26And then later tonight, just one idol will get the judge saved,
00:30:30which will secure them a spot in the top ten.
00:30:33That major plot twist is coming up.
00:30:45Welcome back to Australian Idol.
00:30:48It's top 12 week.
00:30:49And to celebrate the launch of the live shows,
00:30:51our idols have recorded and released their very own single.
00:30:55Check it out.
00:31:07Yes, you can get All Night Long out on iTunes right now.
00:31:11Search for Australian Idol or check out the QR code on screen.
00:31:15You will see them perform it right here on tomorrow night's live results show.
00:31:20Well, it's now time for our next performer.
00:31:23She's our soul singer from Melbourne taking on a song from the Shrek movies.
00:31:28This is Wanwoo.
00:31:39Hi, Mama.
00:31:41Hello, beautiful baby.
00:31:44Mama, I was calling you because for Movie Week,
00:31:47the song I'm doing is from Shrek.
00:31:50The Green Man, yeah?
00:31:51Yes, the Green Man.
00:31:53I love everything about Shrek.
00:31:55Like, I wrote an essay about Shrek, so I sound like a mecha nerd.
00:32:00No one's reading it.
00:32:04Yeah, well, first get to Australia, yeah.
00:32:07So, I'm singing, holding out for a hero,
00:32:09and I was calling you to let you know that you're my hero,
00:32:13and the song is for you.
00:32:16Oh, Mom, don't cry.
00:32:17Oh, Mom.
00:32:21My connection to the song is, like,
00:32:23not only is it about Shrek and, like, him being a hero for Fiona,
00:32:28for me, my mom is my hero.
00:32:31My dad passed away when I was eight,
00:32:32so my mom was literally my mom and dad.
00:32:37Like, she's my idol.
00:32:39I am where I am because of my mom.
00:32:42Oh, my kid, let me cry.
00:32:43I got makeup on.
00:32:46I need a hero.
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero
00:32:50till the end of the night.
00:32:52I know your mom was very emotional
00:32:54about your top 21 performance,
00:32:58and she's so proud of you.
00:33:00When you were small, we're proud of you.
00:33:03That's what we are here for.
00:33:06How do you think you're going to go this week,
00:33:08seeing her again?
00:33:11Last week, I got so emotional.
00:33:12Did you see how proud she was?
00:33:13This week, I really don't want to break down in tears
00:33:16and, like, stop in the middle of my performance.
00:33:19It's like she'll be watching me become everything
00:33:21she sacrificed for me to be,
00:33:23so it's just going to be a full-circle moment.
00:33:27Like, the stakes are high.
00:33:35Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
00:33:41Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
00:33:47And isn't there a white night upon the fire's deep?
00:33:54Later night, I touch and I turn and I dream of what I need.
00:34:01I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero to the end of the night.
00:34:08He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast and he's gotta be large and alive.
00:34:13I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero to the morning light.
00:34:20He's got to be strong and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.
00:34:27Larger than life.
00:34:28Uh, uh, yeah, you ready?
00:34:33Hold up, yeah, holding out, yeah, holding out, yeah.
00:34:36Hero is the end of the night-night.
00:34:38Strong, fast, he can't lodge in the lifeline.
00:34:39If I call, do you think he'll buy back?
00:34:41See the mountains in the heavens above, I see the light and thunder and the flood.
00:34:44I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.
00:34:47Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood.
00:34:50Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51In my blood.
00:34:54I need a hero.
00:34:56I'm holding out for a hero.
00:34:58To the end of the night, he's got to be strong, he's got to be fast and he's got to
00:35:05be fresh from the life.
00:35:07I need a hero.
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero to the morning light.
00:35:13He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.
00:35:19I need a hero.
00:35:21I need a hero.
00:35:50I need a hero.
00:35:51Your mom is your hero, but I think you are your mother's hero
00:36:02You walk on the stage you own it you know and you know you got so much attitude
00:36:08I love it, you know, and and that's what the show business is about, you know

00:41:30Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much
00:41:36I need to push show on let it get this okay for movie week. I'll be singing let it go

00:41:46Don't we sing frozen let it go all the time don't we
00:41:49Let it go let it go let it go
00:42:04Let it go let it go
00:42:09Let it go I can't hold it back anymore
00:42:12We're putting a big R&B spin on it
00:42:15I don't even think i've ever heard an R&B spin on let it go before so it's going to
00:42:21be new
00:42:22Slightly risky doing an R&B version
00:42:25Yeah of this song
00:42:27It's a challenge because it's always a risk to switch up such a classic song
00:42:31Yeah, especially when it's a disney ballad, you know pop song
00:42:36You just don't want to take it too far away from how people remember it remember it and also miss
00:42:42silas and also the fact
00:42:43Yeah, hopefully silas loves it
00:42:45I want to make my daughters proud of this performance because they love it and that's ultimately why i'm doing
00:42:50it is for them
00:42:52Yeah, i'm definitely more worried about this little girl's judgment and the three judges on the day to be honest
00:42:59because she'll be brutal
00:43:03Oh, you want me to sing it now and you judge now i'm nervous
00:43:08That's why i'm a little bit scared for this one
00:43:10Yeah, it's um it'll be interesting to see how she feels about it
00:43:13Is that yeah thumbs up yes
00:43:18Oh wow
00:43:25Let it go let it go i can't hold it back anymore
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight not a footprint till we see
00:43:40A kingdom of isolation and it looks like i'm the king

00:45:34Trey
00:45:36Look I mean
00:45:38the only way to win this thing is to get the country to vote for you and the only way
00:45:44the country votes for you is if they
00:45:47Believe in you and if you're a likable person you are so believable you're so likable you're such a good
00:45:54guy
00:45:54But you are also a genius that was so good thank you that's gonna stream off its head
00:46:07It would be almost impossible for most moms and dads godparents grandparents not to know that song honey
00:46:15Because when it was all happening
00:46:17I heard it so many times I could kill somebody
00:46:20You know what I mean
00:46:22But your rendition of that was just so beautiful Trey you know and um

00:47:53It was fun it was really fun to put a twist on this song
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous because it is such a big
00:47:59Song you know it's known in probably majority of every household every kid loves that song so yeah
00:48:04It was scary, but um I felt good with the performance and I'm happy the judges felt the same way
00:48:09Yeah, yeah, we did
00:48:11Thank you
00:48:12I think all the uh the mums and dads that would have been hearing that song would be so excited

00:49:10I still have a lot to learn, um, and I breathe music
00:49:13So it's it's forever my goal to you know become the greatest version of myself I can be musically and
00:49:18as a human so
00:49:21That's uh, that's why I think about Australia
00:49:24Marsha's lost it
00:49:26Well another heartfelt performance from Trey and if you think he should stay in the competition vote for him right
00:49:34now
00:49:35Text Trey to the number on the screen. Let's hear it one more time for Trey

00:50:16Welcome back to movie week on idol the final singer of the night is our model sophie
00:50:22And i'm here with her mum kim who's cheering her on tonight now kim
00:50:26When did you realize little sophie was going to be a big star?
00:50:30From a very young age she's always been a performer she's grown up in a very busy house and she's
00:50:37kept us entertained for years
00:50:39And now i heard that you were the one that convinced her to audition for idol you must be glad
00:50:44you did that
00:50:44Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yes, absolutely. Look at her. She's a star. She's sparkling tonight. Well, we are so glad that
00:50:52you did that
00:50:52All right. Well, let's see how sophie our model from melbourne prepared for her performance this week
00:51:09I'm great. How are you feeling? I'm good. And it's movie week. Yeah. Tell me what song you're doing
00:51:15I'm doing diamonds are a girl's best friends now one of my favorite songs in the movie gentlemen prefer blondes.
00:51:21Yes
00:51:21um iconic just iconic in top 21 kyle was particularly impressed
00:51:28That was the best stage work i've pretty much ever seen on this show if you're wondering what do they
00:51:33mean by the whole package that's what i mean
00:51:36The whole package i was saying that i had the best stage work that was such a green light to
00:51:40just let's even do it even more
00:51:43Thank you so much
00:51:45You made it i made it
00:51:48Just to elevate yeah your performance how do you feel about two male dancers
00:51:54Really yeah actually actually oh my god that is like my dream yeah
00:52:00We're gonna have to really step up yeah are you ready for that yes there is going to be a
00:52:05bit more on my
00:52:07Plate for this performance yeah you just don't hear full yeah
00:52:11There may come a time tying everything in and
00:52:15Making it still sound amazing because at the end of the day this is a singing show
00:52:20Yeah then from here you're gonna run left right left left right left right so much dancing can really get
00:52:26in the way of your vocal work
00:52:27And the breath control and your delivery it is a risk to add all your movement but
00:52:34Taking risks lead to better results yeah so let's just go from the high note just before the dance
00:52:40break okay yeah so we got
00:52:42Yeah i think pressure is definitely on for this performance
00:52:48I got a lot to prove to australia and myself if i could complete that full package and make the
00:52:54top 10
00:52:57It would just be truly a dream come true
00:53:00It's a dream come true
00:53:15Diamonds are your girl's best friend
00:53:24A gift on the hand may be quite continental
00:53:29But diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:53:32A gift may be grand
00:53:35But I won't pay the rental on your humble flat
00:53:39Or help you at the automats
00:53:42Men grow cold as girls grow old
00:53:45And we all lose our charms in the end
00:53:48A square cut or pear-shaped
00:53:52These rocks don't lose their shape
00:53:54Diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:53:59Said diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:54:09Tiffany
00:54:13Cartier
00:54:16Talk to me, Australia
00:54:18Tell me all about it
00:54:22As time rolls on and youth is gone
00:54:26And you can't straighten up when you bend
00:54:30But step back or step knees
00:54:33You'll stare straight at Tiffany's
00:54:36Diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:54:44And now
00:54:50Thank you
00:54:53Thank you
00:55:12Sophie, little Sophie, look at you sparkling away up there.
00:55:17I know, shining.
00:55:17Once again, great to see you.
00:55:19You always do a fabulous job.
00:55:21You are a born entertainer.
00:55:22You look the part.
00:55:23The outfit is spot on.
00:55:25I like the dancing.
00:55:26I like the macho-y or whatever, the men vibe there.
00:55:31That was great.
00:55:32All of the stuff on the screens, great song.
00:55:36And you are a little character.
00:55:39The thing I like about you is that you sort of morph.
00:55:43You forget that it's you.
00:55:44You actually just turn into an actress, a singer, an entertainer.
00:55:49You're doing it all.
00:55:50And I just really want you to stay in the contest because you're so good.
00:55:55And you just are very believable.
00:55:56Every time I see you, I just fall into the performance, whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, Carl.
00:56:00And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right now.
00:56:05And let me tell you, I spent a lot of money on diamonds, a lot.
00:56:09And every girl loves them.
00:56:11You love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, Carl.
00:56:16Oh, yes, we love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:21You look fantastic.
00:56:22Oh, they're boots.
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24No, they're boots.
00:56:25Oh, they were.
00:56:26Not a one big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl, you look fantastic.
00:56:29Thank you so much.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's great.
00:56:37There's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39Free for you.
00:56:39And that's old.
00:56:41Okay?
00:56:42So that was.
00:56:42Because you look so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe.
00:56:46You know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50You look great.
00:56:50And I just like your show business prowess.
00:56:54You know what to do, you know?
00:56:56I mean, just to stand there and just sing and do nothing.
00:56:58Uh-uh.
00:56:59But to actually perform, way to go.
00:57:01Well done, Sophie.
00:57:01Thank you so much, Marshall.
00:57:02That means a lot.
00:57:04Thank you all.
00:57:07I know that was like the Marilyn Monroe,
00:57:10but one of my favourite movies of all time is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15And burlesque.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:17That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see like you're like one of these people that you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like once you start hitting your stride,
00:57:28like we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:32That was like such an amazing performance that you did then so effortlessly
00:57:38with dancers and singing and just being, like Kyle said, this character.
00:57:44It's like that's what Australia wants.
00:57:47They don't want anyone boring.
00:57:48They want to see someone who they're like, wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So well done.
00:57:56That was great.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:02Girl.
00:58:03Sophie looking like a million bucks up here serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:11And that arrangement was insane.
00:58:14Did you enjoy that?
00:58:15I had a fabulous, amazing time.
00:58:17Of course.
00:58:18How could I not?
00:58:19Oh, my gosh.
00:58:20Look at this opportunity.
00:58:21It's just insane.
00:58:24You absolutely took over the stage.
00:58:26You brought everything to that performance.
00:58:28Two backup dancers.
00:58:30I mean, where did you pull them from?
00:58:32A blessing.
00:58:33So cool.
00:58:34Like, how important is it for you to put on a show with all of the bells and whistles?
00:58:38Like, is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah, I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is.
00:58:45Like, it's just me.
00:58:45I really want to entertain people.
00:58:47And I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality.
00:58:49And I've been gifted this gift to do this.
00:58:52And that's really how I feel.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54So, yeah, I want to make the most of it, of course.
00:58:55And it's all just to connect with people and entertain them and make their life any easier if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:04Well, if you want to see Sophie again next week, you have to vote for her Australia.
00:59:10Text Sophie to the number on the screen to help her lock in a top ten spot.
00:59:16Make some noise, everybody, for Sophie.
00:59:18Thank you all so much.
00:59:20I love you all.
00:59:21I love you all.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make that will be a total game changer for one
00:59:33of tonight's performers.
00:59:34They'll decide who will skip the public vote and be sent directly into the top ten.
00:59:40An advantage like that at this stage in the competition is invaluable.
00:59:45That decision is coming up on Australian Idol.
00:59:48Don't go anywhere.
00:59:59You're watching Idol and the judges are currently deciding which of tonight's performers will score the coveted judge save,
01:00:07which will lock one Idol into the top ten, skipping the public vote.
01:00:11While they mull over that massive decision, we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol and about to head on a national tour.
01:00:21But before he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top 12.
01:00:27Singing his Aria award-winning song, choir.
01:00:31This is Carl Sebastian.
01:00:37I know it's weird to say this, but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas, drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages, and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life, the ones I got to share with you are
01:00:57probably my favorite.
01:00:59I know you're looking down on us.
01:01:01I'm missing you, bro.
01:01:02I hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home.
01:01:06And I know you're not alone.

01:04:19And look, it's 23 years since Idol
01:04:23Wow
01:04:23And what is crazy is that's older than some of those idols in the Top 12
01:04:31Isn't it?
01:04:31But I've been lucky enough to have so much support
01:04:33And that's what this is all about
01:04:35And these guys are experiencing it with all their own fans now
