SUNDAY 16 NOVEMBER / 7.30: FINAL 3 PERFORM
MONDAY 17 NOVEMBER / 7.30: REVEAL OF TWO FINALISTS

This Sunday is the final time the remaining three contestants will be on the Australian Idol stage before the Finale. This is their last opportunity to sing for Australia and their final chance to secure the all important votes before the elimination on Monday night.

In what will be a nail-biting final Sunday show, the pressure is on all three of them to deliver an outstanding performance. Bad song choices, lack of preparation and failure to connect with the audience will hamper not only their performance and their critique from the judges, but also the number of votes they receive. They can’t afford to put a step out of place otherwise they run the risk of not making it through to the Finale.

They’ve survived the last three months worth of eliminations and have proved that they not only have the talent to be in the Finale, but also the support of Australia. They just have to get through one more elimination to secure their spot in the Finale.

The two contestants that survive the elimination on Monday night will be going straight to the Sydney Opera House for the LIVE Finale and one of them will be crowned Australian Idol 2008.

1.00pm weekdays
