the first to return to the couch relived that he would
not be leaving this week. The emotional contestants were
then told that Laura was safe and that Natalie was eliminated
and would not be returning to perform next week. The shocked
live audience were able to show their appreciation to
Natalie Zahra while she performed her song from last night's
60's themed show again "Dancing In The Street"
by Martha and the Vandellas.

and Casey Donovan, as well as runners-up from the first

Australian Idol- Episode 14
Australian Idol- James, Emily, Dan and Roxane progress
to the Top 13
Monday 5 September 2005
James Kannis, Emily Williams, Dan Spillane and Roxane
Lebrasse were the remaining wildcard finalists to make
up the Top 12 which turned into the Top 13 after the dramatic
wildcard verdict show.
On tonight's live result show, the Idol judges named two
contestants to progress to the top 12, while the final
spot was voted by the public.
The first judge's choice finalist to be named was James
Kannis, his version of "Drift Away" proved popular
with the judges who saw great potential from the 19 year
old. The next surprise judge's choice finalist was Emily
Williams with her version of Lauryn Hill's "To Zion".
Hosts James Mathison and Andrew G then named the top two
most popular contestants voted by the public over the
last 24-hours, they were Dan Spillane and Roxane Lebrasse.
Of the two, Dan progressed to the Top 12. His performance
of "Gimme Some Lovin'” by the Spencer Davis
Group proved popular with the national voting audience
while Roxane narrowly missed out again following the controversial
result in semi-final two when Laura Gissara’s inclusion
over Roxane saw alligations of sympathy votes and vote
rigging.
However following the “closest vote in the history
of Australian Idol” the judges decided to interrupt
the congratulations and commiserations and, after calling
over the executive producer Greg Beness, decided to deliver
a final twist. Suddenly the Top 12 turned into a Top 13
when Roxane was told that she would be included to make
up an Australian Idol Top 13 for 2005. Roxane Lebrasse
performed “All By Myself” again and was joined
by the rest of the Idol finalists on stage.
Tune in on Thursday for "Inside Idol" at 7.30pm
for all the behind the scenes action from tonight’s
dramatic show and when the Top 13 idol finalist move into
their new home, Idol HQ, for the remainder of the contest.
And tune in next Sunday at 7.30pm when the first of the
themed shows goes live when the Top 13 constants will
perform "Australian Made" songs in the next
stage of the Australian Idol 3 2005 competition. And the
results show next week when two contestants will be eliminated.
