00:00:22Welcome to Transformation Week.
00:00:25This is...
00:00:26Australia Rule!
00:00:43Hello, Australia. I'm Rikki Lee.
00:00:46And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:48Tonight, our singers will deliver their most important performance
00:00:51of the competition so far,
00:00:53right here in front of the biggest audience ever.
00:01:00Wow.
00:01:01Wow.
00:01:02They are all getting an incredible makeover
00:01:05and choosing a song to show the judges
00:01:07why they are the total package
00:01:10and worthy of a place in the top 12.
00:01:13Deciding their fate tonight are the biggest names in the biz,
00:01:17your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:27Carl Sandilands.
00:01:29Marsha Hines.
00:01:32And Amy Sharp.
00:01:38Good evening, Scotty.
00:01:40Good evening, Rikki Lee.
00:01:42Here we go again.
00:01:46Is it getting louder in here?
00:01:48Huge.
00:01:49What a crowd.
00:01:51Looking good, judges.
00:01:54Wow.
00:01:56All right.
00:01:58Welcome, judges.
00:02:00Hey.
00:02:00Hi.
00:02:01All right.
00:02:01So, this is how tonight will go.
00:02:04Seven singers will perform.
00:02:05Then the judges will decide which four deserve to go through
00:02:09to next week's all-important live shows.
00:02:13But in this round,
00:02:15we also have the almighty Fast Pass.
00:02:20Yes.
00:02:21It is such a game-changer.
00:02:23With one decision,
00:02:24they can send an artist directly into the top 12,
00:02:27overriding the rest of the panel.
00:02:28All right, Scotty.
00:02:29Who wants a demonstration from Scotty?
00:02:31Scotty.
00:02:32Give us your Fast Pass, Scotty.
00:02:34This is what you're looking out for, everyone.
00:02:36Three, two, one.
00:02:38Fast Pass!
00:02:43You have more sub-office in here tonight?
00:02:45That was beautiful.
00:02:46That was really beautiful.
00:02:47Good graphics.
00:02:47All right.
00:02:48Each judge has only one Fast Pass,
00:02:50which can be used on any singer at any time
00:02:54over the next three nights.
00:02:56Amy, are you looking forward to seeing these amazing makeovers tonight?
00:03:00I am.
00:03:01This is, like, my favourite part because it's, like...
00:03:03I mean, everyone would love to be able to perform
00:03:06in an Adidas track suit.
00:03:07I tried to do it for a while.
00:03:08It doesn't work.
00:03:09You need to elevate.
00:03:09And, um, I think these guys are really going to show up tonight.
00:03:13I'm excited.
00:03:14100%.
00:03:15Marsha, the talent this year, incredible.
00:03:18It's not going to be easy to judge them, right?
00:03:20No, it's not.
00:03:21It's never easy to judge them.
00:03:23But the bottom line is we have done the best we can
00:03:26and I hope that the kids do too.
00:03:29That's what's really important.
00:03:30All we can do is the best we can do
00:03:32and that's exactly what they're going to do tonight.
00:03:35Absolutely.
00:03:35Yeah.
00:03:37Now, Kyle, it is more than just the vocals on Idol.
00:03:41You're looking for stage presence, confidence, charisma,
00:03:44the complete package, right?
00:03:45Plus the reverse energy that they can master from the crowd.
00:03:49Because a lot of people can sing,
00:03:51a lot of people can strut around and do their thing,
00:03:52but do they have the energy and the backing of the audience?
00:03:56That's a big part of making money out of this business.
00:03:58All right, well, we are going to find out tonight for sure.
00:04:01All right, well, let's kick things off
00:04:03with our very first singer of the night.
00:04:05This Adelaide school teacher and mother
00:04:07has blown us away every single time she performs.
00:04:12Her very first audition moved the judges to tears
00:04:15and got millions of views online.
00:04:18Will Samela style up and step up
00:04:21to secure a place in the top 12?
00:04:23Well, let's find out.
00:04:31I have never experienced an audition like that.
00:04:36Yeah, wow.
00:04:38Oh, you guys.
00:04:40Yeah, wow.
00:04:41Hello.
00:04:42How are you?
00:04:42Welcome to Top 21.
00:04:44How's this all looked here?
00:04:45It's huge.
00:04:46Okay.
00:04:46I'm excited.
00:04:47Yesterday I was doing kindy drop-off
00:04:49and teaching a Year 7 class
00:04:52and now I'm in the Top 21.
00:04:54I'm living a double life.
00:04:56It's unreal.
00:04:56I'm not sure if you know this yet,
00:04:58but you are our first performer
00:05:02of Top 21, Transformation Week.
00:05:04Good.
00:05:07Oh, my.
00:05:08First one.
00:05:09Yeah, first one.
00:05:10We're good.
00:05:10You got this.
00:05:11You got this.
00:05:12Okay.
00:05:12For Transformation Week, I'm singing Alive by Sia.
00:05:15This song is the biggest song I've probably ever sung.
00:05:18Sia does nothing in halves.
00:05:21And neither am I.
00:05:22Yeah?
00:05:23There are a lot of high notes in this song
00:05:25and it's testing me.
00:05:26It's pushing me to my limits.
00:05:28Your face told me that that note was coming.
00:05:31So don't let us know.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33Just don't ever think that.
00:05:34This is unlike anything I've ever done before.
00:05:37The band, the massive stage,
00:05:38and I need to be on point.
00:05:40It is a little bit of pressure.
00:05:42Yeah.
00:05:43But I can't wait to see your transformation.
00:05:45And you'll be the first.
00:05:46Yeah, I bet.
00:05:47I don't get to dress up as a mum.
00:05:50Because it.
00:05:52Nope.
00:05:53This is beautiful.
00:05:54Hello.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:55Yasu.
00:05:56Look at this Greek.
00:05:57I love them.
00:05:58Last time I wore a gown was definitely my wedding dress.
00:06:02They're a big, fat Greek wedding for sure.
00:06:04We're taking you out of your beautiful blazers.
00:06:06Out of school teacher mode.
00:06:07And we're going to put you in a gorgeous gown,
00:06:09a bit of sparkle,
00:06:10and watch you perform.
00:06:11When I go to work,
00:06:13for me, that's dressing up.
00:06:14Bit of mascara.
00:06:16Oh.
00:06:17Laser on.
00:06:18I'm ready.
00:06:19As a mum,
00:06:21it's this evolving thing
00:06:23to try to feel beautiful
00:06:25after you've had children.
00:06:26I absolutely lost my sense of identity
00:06:29because I was a mum.
00:06:30I put out all my effort into my children
00:06:32and I disappeared
00:06:33because I did that.
00:06:35Light me up.
00:06:37How do you think you'll feel in a gown?
00:06:39Honestly, like Cinderella.
00:06:41It will be the glass slipper moment.
00:06:43What do you think the hubby
00:06:44and the kids are going to feel?
00:06:46They're going to be like,
00:06:47whoa, like this is,
00:06:48who is that,
00:06:49who is that woman?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:50They will be proud, yeah.
00:06:53They've probably never seen mummy like this,
00:06:55so to show off
00:06:57what I look like
00:06:57and who I am
00:06:58will be amazing.
00:06:59It's going to be
00:07:00a transformation
00:07:01that's deeper
00:07:02than a physical transformation,
00:07:04absolutely.
00:07:05I hope they see this
00:07:06and they're like,
00:07:06shivers.
00:07:07Yeah, look at my mum.
00:07:08Like, cool.
00:07:10She's cool.
00:07:11She did great things.
00:07:16She's a mum
00:07:17and schoolteacher
00:07:18stepping up her style.
00:07:20In the classroom,
00:07:21she inspires her students.
00:07:23Tonight,
00:07:23she's inspiring us all.
00:07:25Daring to tackle
00:07:26a sea of power ballad

00:09:57I mean, sometimes
00:09:59you know, in audition rooms
00:10:00we take a risk on people
00:10:01You were never a risk
00:10:03You were just like

00:10:25Absolutely
00:10:25I remember you being really nervous about
00:10:28it taking too long

00:11:09Thank you
00:11:12Truly a remarkable transformation
00:11:14You've always been a beautiful woman
00:11:16But this is like Queen Mary's showing up at some sort of gala event
00:11:20And then when you flipped the script and started strutting your stuff
00:11:24And the strength and the power and the vocal
00:11:28And you as a woman
00:11:29Thank you
00:11:30It was everything it was supposed to be

00:11:42My goodness
00:11:43Our first performer of the night
00:11:46I mean you look sensational
00:11:48Thank you
00:11:48But you sounded amazing
00:11:50How did you feel?
00:11:52Oh, unreal
00:11:53This is unreal
00:11:54Yeah?
00:11:55Yeah
00:11:56It's surreal
00:11:57For sure
00:11:59That was incredible
00:12:00Thank you
00:12:01It really was
00:12:02Now you are a busy mum and a school teacher
00:12:05This is like a world away from your day to day life
00:12:09Right?
00:12:09Day and night
00:12:10Day and night
00:12:11Well you absolutely smashed it
00:12:13You look so comfortable up here
00:12:14Thank you
00:12:14You just look so at home
00:12:16Your audition has absolutely blown up online
00:12:19Millions of views and counting
00:12:22Surely that's going to make you the cool teacher at school
00:12:24The coolest
00:12:25That's it
00:12:26What time do your kids have to go to bed?
00:12:30Normally like 6.37
00:12:31Okay, so they're already
00:12:32Are they watching now?
00:12:34They're here
00:12:34Oh, they're here
00:12:35Where are they?
00:12:36Hi
00:12:37Oh, hi darling
00:12:40Now, I've got to just say quickly to my son
00:12:43He's in Perth
00:12:44Visiting his 100 year old great grandfather
00:12:46Oh, amazing
00:12:46He's watching
00:12:47You've seen Dada
00:12:48Off to bed now
00:12:50She's great
00:12:50Bedtime now
00:12:51I like it
00:12:52Keep these kids up
00:12:53They're rock and roll kids
00:12:53Time for nothing
00:12:54I love it
00:12:56Alright, well Samila has certainly set the bar high
00:12:59But will she make it into the top 12?
00:13:02We will find out from the judges at the end of tonight's show
00:13:07Give it up for Samila
00:13:09Thank you guys
00:13:13What a way to kick off the show
00:13:16It is electric in here
00:13:17How's everyone feeling?
00:13:21Alright, up next
00:13:22He is the teenage busker from Manly in New South Wales
00:13:26It is Tayo
00:13:31You're like an actual proper musician at 15
00:13:36Since last week, you might have noticed a couple different things that might have changed for me
00:13:43I'm now brace free
00:13:44I've turned 16
00:13:45It means that I can drive
00:13:47I think my life actually has changed quite a lot since I auditioned for Idol
00:13:51People have been recognising me, especially at school
00:13:56Yo!
00:13:58My friends Richard and Lachlan are from my school
00:14:00I think they definitely have been very, very supportive for me
00:14:03Where do you guys think I am right now?
00:14:04Whoop whoop
00:14:05Whoop whoop
00:14:06Whoop whoop
00:14:06Whoop whoop
00:14:07Yes, I am backstage
00:14:08If I were at school right now, I'd probably be in math class
00:14:11How was it math class without me?
00:14:13Oh my god
00:14:14It was so long
00:14:15I'm so sorry guys
00:14:16That really sucks
00:14:18I'm so sad
00:14:24I'm so sad
00:14:24And for transformation week, I'm going to be singing Forget You by CeeLo Green
00:14:37How was that?
00:14:39Oh, that was good but I still felt like I kind of got, you know, blown away a little bit
00:14:43And then I kind of ran out of breath at some point
00:14:46I need to be careful not to be swallowed by the band
00:14:48Okay
00:14:48So that's definitely something that I have to work on
00:14:50You did get swallowed
00:14:51Yeah
00:14:51By the band
00:14:52I just reckon you can
00:14:54Go a bit more
00:14:54Yeah
00:14:55Okay
00:14:55Okay
00:14:57Well, the band is definitely pretty loud
00:14:58Which, you know, has kind of pushed me to, you know, try to sing, you know, with more power
00:15:04I think I might just need to focus a bit more on, like, to have a bit more power in
00:15:08my voice
00:15:08And still have that stability
00:15:09Yeah
00:15:09I think that's the hardest part
00:15:10I'm afraid that maybe on the day, I might get swallowed up, especially with the crowd too
00:15:16So I'm a little bit worried about that
00:15:18Because as soon as you do these, these are the kind of microphones that as soon as you take it
00:15:22away
00:15:22It's like, you could be anywhere, you could be in the shower, it's like some far away place
00:15:28My goal is to show that even if I am just the youngest guy here, I can transform into something
00:15:36bigger
00:15:36And that I shouldn't be underestimated
00:15:42As a busker, he normally performs for pocket money, but tonight he's playing for a place in the top 12
00:15:48With his proud family looking on and looking very sharp this evening
00:15:52This is Tayo
00:16:03I say I'm from and wrong town with a girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:10Ooh, yeah
00:16:11I'm sorry
00:16:12I can't hold a Ferrari
00:16:15But that don't mean I can get you there
00:16:18I guess he's an Xbox
00:16:20You're no more Atari
00:16:22But the way you play your game's unfair
00:16:26I'm petain a bird
00:16:27And falls in love with you
00:16:30Yeah
00:16:31Oh
00:16:32Well
00:16:32Just don't just don't
00:16:34Ooh
00:16:34I got some nails for you
00:16:38Yeah
00:16:38I'm just gonna run and tell your little boyfriend
00:16:40I say, you're driving round town with a girl I love and I might forget you
00:16:47Yeah
00:16:48I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
00:17:03I try to tell my mama, but she told me this was one boy.
00:17:07You're dead.
00:17:08Yeah, she did.
00:17:11You're dead.
00:17:11I'm like, why?
00:17:14Why?
00:17:16Why?
00:17:18Yeah.
00:17:19I love you.
00:17:21I really love you.
00:17:22I love you.
00:17:25I say you're drunk and frantic.
00:17:28But the good I love, forget you.
00:17:33I just got change in my pocket.
00:17:36Wasn't enough, so I might forget you.
00:17:39And forget how to say, if I was a great child,
00:17:43I'd still be with you.
00:17:45Knowing that's some shit.
00:17:48That's some shit.
00:17:48And though there's pain in my chest,
00:17:50I still wish you the best.
00:17:52And I'll forget you.
00:17:54Ha-ha.
00:18:04Well done.
00:18:06Nice work.
00:18:10So, I-oh, hello.
00:18:12Hello, buddy.
00:18:13It feels like you've doubled in age since the audition.
00:18:17Thank you so much.
00:18:17Like, I know time goes quick, but you had the pacifier when we met you.
00:18:22And did you say you can get a licence now?
00:18:25Yes, I can.
00:18:26So driving around town with the girl you love,
00:18:28with an L plate and your mum.
00:18:31Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:33It's not quite the vibe of CeeLo Green,
00:18:35but I think you made that youthful, energetic, young.
00:18:39It's great to see you.
00:18:40You've really...
00:18:41And the braces, it makes a big difference.
00:18:43Yes, finally gone.
00:18:44Finally.
00:18:44Freedom!
00:18:45How long did you have those little babies for?
00:18:47Probably about 19 months, so not too long.
00:18:49Yeah, not too long.
00:18:50Parents wouldn't pay for the Invisalign, hey?
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:54Hey, good work, man.
00:18:55I thought that was...
00:18:56I was worried you might not be able to pull that off,
00:18:58but you brought a youthful joy to it,
00:19:00and I think you did a great job.
00:19:01Thank you so much.
00:19:08When you sat at the piano,
00:19:10the first thing I said to Carl was,
00:19:11this boy, because you are a professional busker,
00:19:14you've got so much idea of the space around you
00:19:18and what you've got to do to entertain.
00:19:20That, in itself, my darling, is a gift.
00:19:23Thank you so much.
00:19:24You're welcome.
00:19:25The gift of...
00:19:25Yeah.
00:19:26The gift of making someone walk towards your open guitar case
00:19:30and put money into it.
00:19:31It's a gift.
00:19:31That's a big deal.
00:19:32That's a gift.
00:19:32Yeah, and you do it well.
00:19:34You do it very, very well.
00:19:35Thank you so much.
00:19:35And welcome to adulthood, no braces.
00:19:38Yes.
00:19:38At this point in time, yeah?
00:19:40Well done.
00:19:42I went through that too, man.
00:19:43I went through, like, the full-on braces.
00:19:46You had the things on your shoulders with the whole thing.
00:19:47I had everything, a whole helmet, yeah.
00:19:49Yeah, yeah.
00:19:50Real Zoolander vibes you had going.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:53Thanks, Kyle.
00:19:54No one Google that.
00:19:56Um, Tayo, you are so musically educated,
00:20:00and it's really incredible to watch.
00:20:04But I'm confused by you only because a lot of the time
00:20:08in entertainment and in music, you get, like, this one shot.
00:20:12Sometimes people might get two.
00:20:14And in my head, I'm like, well, is his shot now?
00:20:19You could really take over now and really go for it.
00:20:21But then I'm like, but imagine him in a few more years.
00:20:23Like, you're going to be a weapon.
00:20:25And it doesn't mean you're not now.
00:20:28It's just, in my mind, I'm like, when is this guy's shot?
00:20:32You know, because you are like a Bruno Mars.
00:20:35You're like, you could go nuclear.
00:20:37Thank you so much.
00:20:37Like, you have got so much talent.
00:20:41It's so cool.
00:20:44Or you could go home at the end of the show.
00:20:46It's hard to tell.
00:20:47I think what I'm trying to say is, like, no matter what,
00:20:51like, you deserve to be here.
00:20:52But no matter what, you are, for your age, man,
00:20:56it's scary.
00:20:57Like, you are, you are wild.
00:20:58I think he's been reincarnated or something.
00:21:01Like, he's done this before.
00:21:02You're really weird today.
00:21:04Why are you being weird?
00:21:06Tayo, that was amazing.
00:21:07Well done.
00:21:08Thank you so, so much.
00:21:10Tayo.
00:21:11Tayo.
00:21:12Tayo.
00:21:13Tayo.
00:21:13Tayo.
00:21:13Did that feel good?
00:21:15That was amazing.
00:21:16Yeah.
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:18I mean, you're normally busking out on the street,
00:21:20but this is a whole new level.
00:21:23This is incredible.
00:21:25Normally, busking is, like, maximum maybe 50 people.
00:21:28This is 1,500.
00:21:31And listen to them.
00:21:34Hey, hey, pass the hat around before the ad break.
00:21:38Pass the hat out.
00:21:38Go to Kyle first, I promise.
00:21:40You guys could do a little duo with what you're wearing.
00:21:43It's like you guys are...
00:21:44A little duo-op situation.
00:21:46I mean, your biggest fans are here in the audience,
00:21:50your parents and your sister, Saya.
00:21:52Fam, what did we think?
00:21:57Thumbs up.
00:21:58What did you think?
00:22:00That was awesome.
00:22:02Tayo, I'm so proud that you made it all the way to Top 21.
00:22:04Thank you so much.
00:22:05Merci beaucoup.
00:22:06Oh, I love it.
00:22:07Merci beaucoup.
00:22:08He's speaking in another language.
00:22:09Oh, my gosh.
00:22:11Oh, my gosh.
00:22:12What can't he do?
00:22:13All right, well, is Tayo going to make it into the Top 12?
00:22:18Stay tuned to hear what the judges decide at the end of the show.
00:22:22Give it up one more time, everybody, for Tayo.
00:22:27Congratulations.
00:22:29All right, later in the show,
00:22:32it's our singing skier from Jindabyne, Kesha,
00:22:35and our pop-punk Prince Achille.
00:22:39But next, she's our teenage country singer
00:22:42from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:22:45Lily Grace is putting a country spin
00:22:48on one of the biggest rock hits of all time.
00:22:52That's after the break.
00:22:53Don't go anywhere.
00:23:04This is Transformation Week,
00:23:06where our singers are powering up
00:23:08every aspect of their performance
00:23:10for a sought-after spot in the Top 12.
00:23:13Up next is our horse-riding country singer
00:23:16from Lennox Head in New South Wales.
00:23:18It's Lily Grace.
00:23:30It's Tom 21.
00:23:31It's Transformation Week.
00:23:34This is my favourite week to watch.
00:23:38Mm, a bit of hair and makeup today.
00:23:39This is so exciting.
00:23:41I feel like every time, it's like,
00:23:43they look amazing.
00:23:45So now being here, it's like,
00:23:46oh, what are they going to do to me?
00:23:49Like...
00:23:50I've been in Tamworth
00:23:52for the Country Music Festival.
00:23:54It's the country music capital.
00:23:56You know, I've been performing
00:23:57and just, like, learning as much as I can,
00:24:00just getting involved as much as I can.
00:24:02I'm a country music girl.
00:24:05Yeah, I mean, I love my hats.
00:24:07It really is my look.
00:24:08Like, when I get out on a stage and I perform,
00:24:12this is it.
00:24:22It's really real now, you know?
00:24:24Like, this is, like, a, you know,
00:24:26a stage that any kind of huge,
00:24:27famous person in this country
00:24:28or other countries could perform on,
00:24:30you know?
00:24:30It's a small crowd.
00:24:31There's 1,500 people here
00:24:32and everyone at home.
00:24:33So you're doing one of the most iconic
00:24:35rock songs ever.
00:24:38I'm going to be singing
00:24:38I Can't Get No Satisfaction
00:24:40by the Rolling Stones.
00:24:41Literally Grace Seasoning.
00:24:43You know how it is.
00:24:45LAUGHTER
00:24:55Everyone wants to connect with you
00:24:56from the very back there
00:24:58to the people at the front here.
00:25:01The comments have been
00:25:02to connect and all those kinds of things.
00:25:05Eye contact is just, like, it's everything.
00:25:07I think it's important
00:25:09that you own that space.
00:25:11Yes.
00:25:12I'm just going to throw a thought in there.
00:25:15Mm-hmm.
00:25:16Think about maybe
00:25:18losing the hat.
00:25:21I don't know how...
00:25:21Do you reckon?
00:25:23I mean, does that freak you out a little bit?
00:25:25A little bit.
00:25:26OK.
00:25:28When I'm singing,
00:25:29my hat can kind of do these ones
00:25:30with my eyes
00:25:31and it's like it's...
00:25:32I can't, like, deeply kind of connect
00:25:34with people
00:25:34from what I'm saying
00:25:36and, like, get people to believe it.
00:25:37You know, if I'm...
00:25:38That's blocked.
00:25:39I don't want you to hide behind
00:25:40and I get that it's your look.
00:25:42I just...
00:25:44I'll think about it.
00:25:45Think about it.
00:25:45That's all I'm saying.
00:25:46Yeah.
00:25:47I'm not saying
00:25:48that I'm not going to do it,
00:25:49but I want to be in Top 12 so bad
00:25:52and I want to continue this journey
00:25:54but it's a little bit scary.
00:25:55But who knows?
00:25:55Who knows?
00:25:56Top 21, it's Transformation Week.
00:26:02Giddy up.
00:26:03This country girl has glammed up,
00:26:06ditched the hat
00:26:07and looks absolutely gorgeous.
00:26:09Putting on a boot-and-scoot-and-spin
00:26:12on a Rolling Stones classic.
00:26:13This is Lily Grace.
00:26:28I can't get no
00:26:34satisfaction
00:26:35I can't get no
00:26:39satisfaction
00:26:41Cause I tried
00:26:43And I tried
00:26:45And I tried
00:26:47And I tried
00:26:48I can't get no
00:26:51I can't get no
00:26:54When I'm driving in my car
00:26:59And a man comes on the radio
00:27:02Telling me more and more
00:27:05About some years left's information
00:27:09Supposed to find my imagination
00:27:12I can't get no
00:27:15No, no, no
00:27:17No, no, no
00:27:22That's what I say
00:27:27I can't get no
00:27:32Satisfaction
00:27:33I can't get no
00:27:39Satisfaction
00:27:40Because I tried
00:27:41And I tried
00:27:43And I tried
00:27:45And I tried
00:27:46And I tried
00:27:47I can't get no
00:27:50I can't get no
00:27:53I can't get no
00:27:56No, no, no, no
00:27:58No satisfaction
00:28:00I can't get no
00:28:02Listen to me when I'm saying
00:28:05I say it to you every day
00:28:08Can't get no
00:28:09No, no, no
00:28:11No, no, no
00:28:23Thank you so much
00:28:25Oh my, oh my
00:28:32Well, Miss Lily Grace
00:28:35Talk about a transformation
00:28:40Oh, wow
00:28:41You're bigger than that hat
00:28:42I mean, the hat's cute
00:28:43And everything
00:28:44But Lord have mercy
00:28:45You look good
00:28:46Thank you so much
00:28:47You look really good
00:28:49You know
00:28:49And you look really comfortable
00:28:50Doing
00:28:51I'm so glad
00:28:51That you came
00:28:52From behind the microphone
00:28:53And showed us who you were
00:28:54Do you know what I mean
00:28:55It's all about your performance
00:28:57You know what I mean
00:28:58You can't
00:28:59You don't have to do that
00:29:00Every song
00:29:00But when it comes to a song
00:29:02Like that
00:29:02The Rolling Stones
00:29:03You better represent
00:29:04Well done, honey
00:29:05Thank you so much
00:29:08That was so awesome
00:29:10Lily Grace
00:29:11Thank you
00:29:12Like I, um
00:29:13I mean
00:29:13And I know a thing or two
00:29:14About having a look
00:29:15That's really hard to, um
00:29:17Detach from
00:29:18The thing is
00:29:19You've got to lose something
00:29:20In order for people to miss it
00:29:21You know what I mean
00:29:22So I think, um
00:29:24I lost my good looks
00:29:25I
00:29:26No, you've still got them, Kyle
00:29:27Don't worry
00:29:27Don't worry
00:29:28I agree with Marsha
00:29:29You, you just look like
00:29:30An absolute professional out there
00:29:32What I really loved seeing
00:29:33Was the little package beforehand
00:29:35They played
00:29:36You were still playing gigs
00:29:38You're doing Australian Idol
00:29:39And you're still working
00:29:40And that's like
00:29:41That's the key thing
00:29:42To dominate this show
00:29:44Is like
00:29:44We can only do so much
00:29:47We can present you to the country
00:29:48They can see how great you are
00:29:49But if you're not doing
00:29:50The extra leg work
00:29:51Like
00:29:52You're shooting yourself in your foot
00:29:54And I think
00:29:54You're
00:29:55You know this
00:29:56And I can see how seriously
00:29:58You take it
00:29:59I
00:29:59I would be confident
00:30:00Just sending you out
00:30:02Into the big bad world
00:30:03On tour
00:30:03And making records already
00:30:06Like that's
00:30:06You were so ready
00:30:07For this lifestyle
00:30:13I
00:30:14I
00:30:14I also
00:30:15Was nervous
00:30:16Because I liked the hat
00:30:17And I know it's you
00:30:18And I
00:30:18And then you're like
00:30:19I'm a country girl
00:30:20It's like a badge
00:30:21Yeah
00:30:21Um
00:30:22But
00:30:22It was the right choice
00:30:24To lose the hat
00:30:25You still got your country vibe
00:30:27You're still doing
00:30:28Doing an amazing job
00:30:29Great big vocal
00:30:31And even in this room
00:30:31With 1500 people in it
00:30:33It's a big auditorium
00:30:35Make some noise everyone
00:30:38It's
00:30:38It's
00:30:39It's
00:30:39It's sometimes hard in the room
00:30:41Sometimes hard sitting here
00:30:43When the crowd
00:30:44Get
00:30:45Go crazy
00:30:45And start roaring
00:30:46I'm
00:30:46It'll mix nice on TV
00:30:48But I thought it was great
00:30:50Powerful
00:30:50You're still you
00:30:52Without the hat
00:30:53And we still loved
00:30:54Every minute of it
00:30:55Look at you bro
00:30:55I still want to say that
00:30:56I still love the hat
00:30:57Just
00:30:57Yeah don't
00:30:58Don't lose the hat forever
00:30:59Don't lose the hat forever
00:31:00It's not gone forever
00:31:00But it's transformation week
00:31:02So
00:31:02Oh that's good attitude
00:31:04Good attitude

00:31:13But that
00:31:13Just took it up
00:31:15To a whole other level
00:31:16You are made for the stage girlfriend
00:31:18How do you think that went
00:31:19I mean good

00:33:40Leveling up
00:33:41What do we got
00:33:42Transforming to something different
00:33:44Spin
00:33:46That is interesting
00:33:47Cool
00:33:49Okay
00:33:50Just as long as it's subtle
00:33:53That's great
00:33:53Can we keep this
00:33:54For the whole show
00:33:55Whoa
00:33:57Orange beanie man
00:33:58Tried on some different looks
00:34:00And
00:34:02It can't be the classic
00:34:05Good to see you
00:34:07How's it all feel
00:34:08Pretty surreal
00:34:09Yeah
00:34:09Yeah
00:34:10The top 21 of Australian Idol
00:34:12It's really exciting
00:34:12But at the same time
00:34:13I feel like
00:34:13It's a lot of pressure
00:34:14What's your song
00:34:15My song's
00:34:16A little help from my friends
00:34:17What a great song
00:34:18It's an amazing song
00:34:19What's your connection
00:34:20The song's very poignant to me
00:34:22Because
00:34:22I've had some really tough times
00:34:24In the last couple years
00:34:25With my parents
00:34:26And my friends have been
00:34:27Just shoe supporters
00:34:28Through that time
00:34:29They're really there for me
00:34:30And
00:34:30I'm using this
00:34:32Performance in a way
00:34:33To let them know
00:34:34That
00:34:35I'm so
00:34:36So grateful for them
00:34:46It can feel a bit aggressive
00:34:47And shouty
00:34:48If you stay on that one note
00:34:49I see, I see
00:34:50Yeah
00:34:51It might feel like you're being joyous
00:34:52Because you feel joy inside
00:34:55But
00:34:55Your face
00:34:56Your face
00:34:57Your face says
00:34:58Aggressive
00:34:59Yeah
00:34:59I've been told that I'm resting
00:35:01Serious face
00:35:02And you know
00:35:02People be like
00:35:02You're okay
00:35:03I'm like
00:35:03No, no
00:35:03I'm fine
00:35:04But I just have to learn
00:35:05To turn that off
00:35:07I want everyone to feel
00:35:08The hope
00:35:09So just
00:35:10Don't go into yourself
00:35:12Too much
00:35:12Okay, yeah, yeah
00:35:12Closing your eyes
00:35:13As soon as you close your eyes
00:35:14You close people off
00:35:15This is more than
00:35:17Just a song for me
00:35:18I need to
00:35:20Translate
00:35:21The love and gratitude
00:35:22I have for my friends
00:35:22In this performance
00:35:23And work on
00:35:24Bringing that
00:35:25That joy out
00:35:26It's life changing
00:35:27Doing this stuff, man
00:35:29So it's like
00:35:30I've got to
00:35:31Bust my arse
00:35:32To make sure
00:35:32I get in there
00:35:33I want to make my friends
00:35:34Super proud of this performance
00:35:35They were there for me
00:35:36When nobody else was
00:35:38You know

00:35:40I don't want them to see
00:35:41How much

00:41:13You know
00:41:14Thank you
00:41:16You deserve it Charlie
00:41:17That was
00:41:19When
00:41:19When Marsha closes her eyes
00:41:22And sits back in her chair
00:41:24You know she's really feeling something
00:41:26What would you like to say to Marsha
00:41:28Oh I'm just

00:41:44We cannot wait
00:41:45To see you perform again
00:41:47Live
00:41:48Next week
00:41:49In the top 12
00:41:53Head on over to the lounge
00:41:55And celebrate with the others
00:41:56Australia
00:41:57Officially in the top 12
00:41:59It's Charlie
00:42:03Oh how good is that
00:42:05Okay
00:42:06So far we've seen
00:42:07Samela
00:42:08Tayo
00:42:08Lily Grace
00:42:09And Charlie
00:42:10Performed for the judges
00:42:11But next
00:42:12It's Jamie's turn
00:42:13She is straight out of the 70s
00:42:16In style and sound
00:42:17And our Gold Coast girl Jamie
00:42:19Is transforming
00:42:20And taking on an iconic anthem
00:42:22We cannot wait
00:42:24To see this one
00:42:25Australian Idol
00:42:25Is back in a moment
00:42:37It's transformation week on Idol
00:42:40And we are halfway through tonight's show
00:42:43With just a few singers left to perform
00:42:45And then we find out who will make the top 12
00:42:49And sing at next week's live shows
00:42:51Our next singer vying for one of those spots
00:42:54Is someone who lives and breathes all things 70s
00:42:58From the Gold Coast
00:43:00From the Gold Coast
00:43:00This is Jamie
00:43:14It feels amazing to be in the Australian Idol top 21
00:43:19I'm so excited to be here
00:43:21This has always been my number one passion
00:43:24To have this opportunity is awesome
00:43:26I'm really wanting to transform my vocals this week
00:43:29What song are you singing?
00:43:30I'm singing I'm Every Woman by Shaka Khan
00:43:33What a great song
00:43:35Yes
00:43:35She is my style icon
00:43:37Vocal icon
00:43:38All of it
00:43:39I'm pretty sure if my information and my sources are correct
00:43:43Marsha opened for Shaka Khan in about 2008
00:43:47Just a little
00:43:48No pressure
00:43:49Yeah the pressure's on with that knowledge
00:43:53Marsha gave me some criticism on the last performance
00:43:56A lot of your vocal gymnastics
00:44:00Didn't land
00:44:01You know you don't have to do that
00:44:05She's scared of you
00:44:08Marsha is on my mind this whole week
00:44:11Like I just want to impress her so bad
00:44:13I'm going to take on Marsha's advice
00:44:16And not need to do all the vocal gymnastics
00:44:18I can just sing the song
00:44:24So I think it's finding that balance
00:44:26Between like what Marsha said
00:44:28Which would not go too much
00:44:29But I think you should
00:44:30I think you can throw something in there
00:44:32Because the horse is crazy
00:44:33I'm not sure if I'm playing it too safe
00:44:35Or if I need to add more
00:44:37Like everyone's telling me stuff
00:44:38And I'm like
00:44:40Yep
00:44:40Yep
00:44:40Yep
00:44:41Got it
00:44:41Got it
00:44:42Got it
00:44:42Okay
00:44:44I can add a little bit of Jamie
00:44:45Like I don't want to go to the opposite end of the scale
00:44:49If I fail to impress Marsha
00:44:50It could be the end of the road for me
00:44:52So this show means a lot to me
00:44:54And I'm praying that I go well
00:45:01She's bringing the 70s groove, grit and glamour to the idle stage
00:45:05Tonight she's dialling up the disco
00:45:08With an iconic hit from the legendary Shaka Khan
00:45:11Looking oh so chic
00:45:13This is Jamie
00:45:15I am every woman
00:45:32It's all in me
00:45:36Everything you want don't bring
00:45:38I do it naturally
00:45:43I can cast a spell
00:45:46Of secrets you can tell
00:45:48Makes a special proof
00:45:50Of fire inside of you
00:45:53But anytime you feel
00:45:54Danger or fear
00:45:56Instantly
00:45:57I will be a god
00:46:00I'm every woman
00:46:03It's all in me
00:46:06Anything you want don't bring
00:46:09I do it naturally
00:46:13Oh
00:46:19I ain't wrecking
00:46:21Cause I own the world
00:46:24Despite me
00:46:26And it shall be done
00:46:28Don't mind me
00:46:29Truths don't pay
00:46:31I cannot hear
00:46:33Oh my god
00:46:35I'm every woman
00:46:40I'm every woman
00:46:48I'm every woman

00:48:09you a better
00:48:09singer you know I I don't enjoy telling another singer what to do but I have a vague idea of
00:48:17how

00:48:22mean to

00:48:47appreciate you so much you're also so mean Marsha you look great the shimmering the vocal was great
00:48:56the only thing I'm worried about vocally nothing wrong you performed well you used up all the stage

00:51:52to
00:51:53like go see them oh it's actually it's mental to me like even being in the same space as them
00:51:58you know
00:51:59i'm here to get advice from them for my song how i can perform it better and maintain my energy
00:52:04but

00:52:23wow what's up man okay can i give you guys a big hug yeah of course yeah right now i
00:52:28feel like i'm in a
00:52:29dream like this like this doesn't feel real can you do a performance so that we can watch and we
00:52:34can
00:52:34sort of give you sort of our best like help 100 yeah okay okay i genuinely i'm i'm performing your
00:52:41song in front of you guys yeah yeah great let's do it it is super super important that i get
00:52:45advice
00:52:45from these guys always see it on tv read it in the magazine because they know the best and they're
00:52:52gonna help me out a lot in terms of performing on australian idol i think that some of these judges
00:52:57are sensing from you you're staying in the chaos mode yes through the whole song last time i did not
00:53:02live up to the expectations because i was doing too much i think what happens is you start to lose
00:53:08breath the melody gets lost the lyrics in the story gets lost so what i would do is i would
00:53:14just i would
00:53:15calm down on that verse i would take the opportunity to connect with some people and then on the chorus
00:53:20that's when you hype everybody up you know what i mean yeah 100 it's finding your moments you don't
00:53:26need to hype everybody all the time obviously like i feel a lot of pressure in in the back of
00:53:30my head
00:53:30when i'm hearing all the advice and everything that i can improve on because at this stage of
00:53:34the competition like there's no room for mistakes it's all up to me now you sure you practice practice
00:53:39practice but then go bro all right brother i really appreciate it and we'll see you at the show tonight
00:53:47i'm wait i'm actually so you'll be our guest at the show tonight i'm going to the show tonight as
00:53:52well that's that's nuts like no i think i'll make sure you have the best vantage point and uh maybe
00:53:59maybe you learn something maybe you learn things you don't want to do all right yeah they have like
00:54:0230 years of experience in this industry and it's like an incredible opportunity to learn how to
00:54:07perform well and really deliver the song you know i really want to stay in this competition because
00:54:13there's nothing in the world that gives me the same feeling as being on stage so i have to balance
00:54:18jumping around stage and also singing at the same time if i mess up for this performance like i'm
00:54:23going home and i know that so i have to like make sure it's 100 a new edge new attitude
00:54:33and zero holding
00:54:34back tonight he's unlocked his inner rebel to claim his spot in the top 12. this isn't a makeover
00:54:41it's a takeover it's a takeover from sydney this is a killie
00:54:51i don't make some noise
00:55:00in the magazine celebrities they want sympathy
00:55:09they do is pissing moan inside the rolling stone talking about a hard life can be
00:55:18i'd like to see them spend a week living life out on the street i don't think they would survive
00:55:27but they'd spend a day or two walking in someone else's shoes
00:55:31i'm feeling stumble and they'd fall
00:55:34they would fall
00:55:36they would fall
00:55:38shake it
00:55:38oh
00:55:40lifestyles of the rich and the famous
00:55:44they're always complaining
00:55:45always complaining
00:55:48if money is such a problem
00:55:52we'll make our actions
00:55:54think we should drop them
00:55:59make the noise
00:56:01make the noise
00:56:18pick it
00:56:20No problem, think we could solve them
00:56:24Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:29Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:34Lifestyles of the rich and famous
00:56:57Achille, what you bring to Australian Idol this year is this incredible lust for life and youth
00:57:03And it's beautiful to see, you know
00:57:05I mean, that's what rock and roll is to me, you know what I mean
00:57:08It's important that, you know, you settled eventually
00:57:12But you were breathless from the very beginning
00:57:15Work it out, pace yourself, boyfriend, okay
00:57:19And I think it was wonderful that the guys from Good Charlotte spoke to you
00:57:24And gave you some pointers
00:57:26But just take your time
00:57:27We know you're here
00:57:29We want to see you be the best you can be, okay?
00:57:32That was great, man
00:57:33I appreciate it
00:57:34Thank you so much
00:57:35Thank you, Marshall
00:57:36You're welcome
00:57:38Achille, I just honestly thank you
00:57:42Because I never thought I would ever see pop punk on this kind of stage
00:57:47And I'm enjoying every time I see you
00:57:50You're just like
00:57:51You love it so much
00:57:53I can see how much you love this genre
00:57:57I just think
00:57:58I just think the passion is there
00:57:59And I don't know what to do with you because it's such a unique thing to witness
00:58:04But I love it
00:58:05I don't know about you guys
00:58:06But I just think
00:58:07You spinning around out there
00:58:09Thank you
00:58:10The best thing about this show is
00:58:12It
00:58:13We say this all the time
00:58:14But it isn't about the voice
00:58:16It's about
00:58:16Do we believe that people are going to watch Achille
00:58:19And buy into what you're selling
00:58:22And be addicted to that energy
00:58:24And I honestly kind of think they would
00:58:26Because I just can't stop
00:58:28When you start those spin arounds
00:58:29I'm just like
00:58:30This guy is a tornado
00:58:31And I just
00:58:34It's impressive
00:58:35I think you need to still
00:58:36Like what Marsha said
00:58:37And even what Benji and Joel said
00:58:40The timings of things
00:58:42You know
00:58:42When to burst into energy
00:58:44And when to be still
00:58:46I think that's still something you need to concentrate on
00:58:48But the real stuff's there
00:58:50The passion's there
00:58:51Thank you
00:58:52You can't teach that
00:58:54Thank you
00:59:00So when Benji and Joel were first signed in the United States
00:59:05The first port of call was Australia
00:59:08And two young boys walked into my Hot 30s studio back then
00:59:12And they were loose
00:59:14I mean they had the big hair and they were wild
00:59:17And I was like look at these characters
00:59:20They had a huge success with multiple bands
00:59:24They've both done extremely well
00:59:25But yeah
00:59:28The tough bit is that you sucked up the energy
00:59:31The fans
00:59:32You had everyone behind you
00:59:33But the vocal was not the strongest
00:59:36But it doesn't have to be in that world
00:59:39But where you probably went is
00:59:41I saw you trying too hard to do a good vocal
00:59:44And I think you maybe came a little unstuck on yourself
00:59:47You should have just gone full hectic
00:59:49Yeah
00:59:49And when you do all this
00:59:50Yeah I agree
00:59:50I'm expecting something big to happen
00:59:52But nothing happened
00:59:53It was like a Jesus moment
00:59:54But there was no rising
00:59:56There was
00:59:56I thought about jumping into the crowd
00:59:58But I don't want to kill anyone
01:00:00Listen
01:00:00If you think it'll keep you in the contest
01:00:03Feel free to kill someone
01:00:05Do whatever you need to do to stay in
01:00:07Great energy
01:00:08Rubbish vocal
01:00:09But that doesn't mean you're not going to
01:00:11You're not going to keep in the contest
01:00:12Good luck
01:00:13Thank you
01:00:13You're welcome
01:00:16You're such a vibe Akili
01:00:19I don't know if I want to see him go to the next level
01:00:22Go to the next level
01:00:23That's tornado hurricane level
01:00:25You are such a vibe Akili
01:00:27Yeah
01:00:27My goodness
01:00:28What was it like getting mentored by Joel and Benji from Good Charlotte?
01:00:32I tried to take on the advice
01:00:33You know
01:00:33They're like some people that have been in the business for so long
01:00:36Like for example
01:00:37Looking at the crowd
01:00:38Connecting with them
01:00:38Yeah
01:00:39In specific moments
01:00:40Yeah
01:00:40I tried to do that
01:00:41Yeah
01:00:41I just appreciate the boys for giving me advice you know
01:00:44Did you have fun?
01:00:45I had so much fun
01:00:45Thank you
01:00:46Yeah
01:00:46Alright well the boys are so cool aren't they?
01:00:49Their latest album is amazing

01:01:15And we were just so so extremely proud of him for finally you know reaching his dreams
01:01:20And chasing his dreams and shining so brightly on stage
01:01:23And being unapologetically himself
01:01:25I'll add it

01:02:02Before that we've got our final singer of the night
01:02:06She's the singing skier from Jindabyne in the snowy mountains
01:02:10Tonight Kesha is taking on a global chart topper

01:03:22You
01:03:23Hello
01:03:27Hi
01:03:28Hi Kesha
01:03:29Hi you
01:03:29Oh this means the world
01:03:31This has just been what I wanted to do since I could walk
01:03:34Little seven-year-old Kesha who picked up her first red guitar and sung at Jindy Idol would be over
01:03:43the moon
01:03:43Jindy Idol
01:03:44This section was like
01:03:46That was it?
01:03:47That was the stage?
01:03:48Yeah
01:03:48Okay, talk to me about your song
01:03:50I've got Take Me to Church
01:03:51Hosier
01:03:52Hosier
01:03:53One of my favourite songs
01:03:54Have you ever used
01:03:55No
01:03:56I've never used them
01:03:58Okay
01:03:58Don't panic yourself
01:04:00This is a new experience having these ears
01:04:02But it's super important because once the crowd's in here
01:04:06You won't hear them if you don't have those in
01:04:10How do I do it?
01:04:11Oh my god
01:04:20A lot going on in my ears
01:04:22So what are you focusing on in your ears?
01:04:26Are you listening for your pitch?
01:04:27Like
01:04:27I'm not listening for anything
01:04:29The ears are wigging me out
01:04:31I think I'm thinking about trying to listen to too many things
01:04:35The ears are a bit
01:04:37It's a bit like
01:04:39Hectic having to listen to 50 things at once
01:04:41I've never really
01:04:43I've used that before
01:04:45Don't panic yourself
01:04:46Mmm
01:04:48It's too much
01:04:51I can't cope
01:04:57Stupid
01:05:01There's just no room for muck ups or mistakes
01:05:04This is all I've ever wanted
01:05:07I really want to make it to the top 12
01:05:14She's the singing skier transforming on the idle stage
01:05:18Usually she's conquering the slopes
01:05:20But tonight she's hoping for a peak performance
01:05:24She's bold
01:05:25She's fearless
01:05:26She's about to hit top speed
01:05:28This is Kesha
01:05:36My love has got humor
01:05:39She's a giggle at a funeral
01:05:42Knows everybody's disapproval
01:05:45I should have worshipped her sooner
01:05:48If the heavens ever did speak
01:05:51She's the last true mouthpiece
01:05:54Every Sunday's getting more bleak
01:05:57A fresh poison each week
01:06:00I was born sick
01:06:02But I love it
01:06:04Command me to be well
01:06:08Amen
01:06:13Amen

01:06:42To keep the goddess on my side
01:06:45To keep the goddess on my side

01:08:19minute to work out just the mix you want and I think um for the singer that you are it's
01:08:26just
01:08:26always as long as you can hear your vocals all the time and I'm sure you got um told that
01:08:30by Carmen
01:08:31and everyone but I think for someone who has not used them you crush that like thank you like that
01:08:38would have been scary but it was different it was different yeah and I I think like considering
01:08:45considering that that still to me looked so effortless and I love that you just stood there
01:08:51some people get really overwhelmed when they get to this part of the competition
01:08:55and they feel like they need to look like they've been doing it for years when we we know they
01:08:59haven't so but you didn't try and do that you just focused and you stood still and you knew that
01:09:05you
01:09:06had this new problem and you were just like wanting to focus and I could see you doing that and
01:09:10I think
01:09:11I think it was just amazing I think you should be really proud of yourself thank you so much that
01:09:15means a lot thank you
01:09:20you know Kesha it's a new world when it comes to the in ear thing and I will drop one
01:09:27of the biggest names in the industry and his name is Tom Jones
01:09:30Tom Jones was the person who told me 20 years ago
01:09:34girlfriend you want to keep your voice
01:09:38learn how to use in ears and I'm so sorry that it was frustrating and you've got to come here
01:09:43and perform

01:17:32They all left their heart and soul on the stage tonight
01:17:36But did they do enough to win the judges over?
01:17:40It has been a massive journey for each and every one of them
01:17:43But now is the moment of truth
01:17:46Kyle
01:17:47Who are the judges sending through to the top 12 live shows?
01:17:54Well, the final person that we have decided to put through to the top 12
01:18:00And this is not going to give too much away
01:18:02Um, everyone up there has a different genre
01:18:05But I feel that this genre belongs on this show
01:18:09Especially after the performance that I saw tonight
01:18:12And you all did pretty well
01:18:17But unfortunately
01:18:18One stood out more than the others of these four
01:18:22And that final person that we are putting through
01:18:26To the Australian Idol top 12 is
01:18:35Ding-Dang

01:19:07When I knew who I was singing with
