Riki just explained this on radio saying that it’s the last chance for the artists to show to Australia what they can do before being voted out. So they can I guess build fans or chances in the industry etc
I guess they are doing that instead of making the person who got voted out sing after knowing they are gone type thing.
It’s branded Superstar Week according to a new promo aired during The Front Bar tonight. Spice Girl Emma Bunton is one of the celebrities who choose the songs.
Gisella’s Defying Gravity from Sunday has almost racked up 100k likes on Instagram and over 2.5m views.

Jessica Mauboy will perform on Australian Idol on March 31, according to her interview article in this week’s Stellar liftout (with Miranda Kerr on the cover).
Phil Burton from Human Nature in as Guest Judge tonight, as Kyle is away.
Gisella, Jake, Marshall, Hannah and Jaymon performed in tonight’s part one. The other five would sing in part two.
Ricki-Lee also said Giselle’s rendition of Defying Gravity had now attracted five million views.
Kate Ceberano is in for Kyle tonight.
Oops! Spreading fake news. 
Kate Ceberano was a good guest judge tonight.
I do wonder why Phil Burton only appeared in part one and not part two as well.
They probably wanted to keep the appearance that it was another night
Auto-tune artist Bony and disco diva Hannah eliminated
Tonight, Bony Onyango and Hannah Waddell departed the competition after the nation voted for their Top 8 Australian Idol contestants on Seven and 7plus.
Ahead of tonight’s verdict the Australian Idol Top 10 united for an electrifying performance of Praising You by Rita Ora.
In one of the strongest fields in Australian Idol history, hosts Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie again revealed that only a handful of votes divided those who made the Top 8 and those who would leave the competition.
Disco diva Hannah, 25 from WA, plus progressive auto-tune artist Bony, 25; country cowboy Jake Whittaker, 30; and John Van Beek, 19 – all from QLD – landed in the bottom.
Judges Marcia Hines, Kyle Sandilands and Amy Shark reflected on the Top 10.
Marcia admitted: “The talent this year is on another level.”
“It’s a numbers game as each week goes along it’s going to be heart-destroying,” Kyle added.
Amy acknowledged: “The Australian music industry is a tough competition, not just Idol so any chance you get to sing in front of the country is a huge opportunity.”
Sixteen-year-old singing sensation Gisella Coletti from WA and powerhouse vocalist Emma Jones, 23 from ACT, were advanced straight into the Top 8 by the judges, and safe from the public vote, after their incredible routines during the performance shows.
The four contestants with the lowest votes performed again in a last-bid sing-off to show they had the star power to stay in the competition.
Jake’s “awesome” performance of Tina Turner’s (Simply) The Best showed he was back to top form “letting that mullet fly free,” while Hannah proved disco will never die with Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive.
Bony’s natural talent shone on I Don’t Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, while John won the crowd with The Script’s Breakeven.
All three judges were shocked at Hannah’s elimination after her “effortless vocal perfection” each week.
Amy admitted: “You have one of the strongest voices we have ever seen in Idol.”
Kyle implored: “Get yourself a booking agent. I would book you for a party, a wedding or corporate gigs. Go and start your career!”
A grateful Hannah shared: “Thank you judges for this whole experience. I am so lucky and extremely grateful. This is not the end.”
After his elimination, Bony said: “Thank you for how you guys received me. It’s been super dope I guess we will see you guys on the other side.”
Kyle shared: “You are an artist. If this is your last night sail forward my friend go and get your dream.”
“I’m not worried about you at all, tomorrow you are going to get back into the studio,” added Amy.

The voting on this show is quite predictable every year.
As usual, a good looking boy who can’t sing gets the votes to survive but a confident girl with great singing ability gets voted off.
