00:00Previously on the road, our musicians wrapped the second show in Oklahoma City and reached the midway point of the competition.
00:10Everyone has definitely upped their game.
00:12Channing won over the audience again.
00:14You were the top of the team.
00:16Brianna swung for the fences, but missed.
00:20I'll see you down the road.
00:21Now after several split shows, our final seven musicians are back together for one show in Tulsa.
00:28Here we go!
00:28With a special guest advisor.
00:30Dustin Lynch, he's proof that you get in front of the right people, you're going to make it.
00:35Once again, they'll be fighting to stay on the road.
00:37I ain't getting in the bottom two again tonight.
00:39This time, they'll have to work together.
00:42Is that Adam?
00:42I still don't know what to do on that end.
00:44Is this going to be a pissing contest?
00:46The group performance is definitely harder.
00:48Can anyone deflone Channing for the top spot?
00:51If I mess this up, they're going to remember it.
00:53And who will lose their seat on the bus?
00:55You make one wrong step and it could be the end.
00:57Competition's stiff now.
01:05It's just going to keep getting harder and harder.
01:06I think a lot of us are just so thankful for our originals getting a chance in something like this.
01:12That's right.
01:13When the big time comes for you, it'll have to be your voice, your sound, your songs.
01:18Gretchen being on the bus is worth its white and gold to me.
01:22She knows this because she's lived it.
01:24It wasn't until I started writing songs that I found, oh, that's what I sound like.
01:29She's already gone through what I'm beginning to go through.
01:33I'm 51 years old and I'm still learning.
01:35I'm learning from you guys.
01:36You can always stretch.
01:37You can always learn.
01:38You can always go further.
01:39I'm learning so much from her.
01:41Like, I'm really going to turn up the heat on this next performance.
01:45It just kind of added fuel to my fire.
01:47From the bone and the cut till the day that I'm dust
02:01I'm going to stay country or die trying
02:05I'm so excited about Cane's.
02:19This week, we're in Tulsa at Cane's Ballroom.
02:22Cane's is historical in that club circuit level, you know, that we all sort of go through.
02:27Oh, wow.
02:28Oh, my God.
02:28This is so cool.
02:30Every country legend that you can probably think of has played that stage
02:33and it's an honor to be back here.
02:35Signing the wall at Cane's is one of the most country rock and roll honors you can receive.
02:40I've seen this tradition in a few different venues,
02:42but this is definitely a cool wall for sure.
02:45Hi, guys.
02:46Hello.
02:47See you out the front in a second.
02:48See you there.
02:51This week in Tulsa is going to be a little different
02:54because we're only doing an original song for our solo performance
02:58and then we're doing two separate group cover songs.
03:02I've been wanting to do soundcheck since we started the show.
03:08So we're going to grab the mics on the second chorus
03:11because you don't want to do half the song from way back here.
03:14Yeah, I'll go back.
03:15I'm hoping that a lot of these musicians will realize
03:18that you can take far more ownership of your performance.
03:20You can go your own way.
03:24Can we have our microphones sort of spaced out
03:27because when we do the you can go your own way, we're all going to fan out.
03:30You have to take way more control of what it is
03:33that you're trying to connect with the audience.
03:36That feel good for everybody?
03:37Yeah.
03:38Sweet.
03:38Now Blake is not here.
03:42He's on tour.
03:43So in his place, we've got Dustin.
03:45What's up, everybody?
03:46Hey!
03:46Hey, he's ballroom, y'all.
03:47Right?
03:48That's crazy.
03:49Legendary spot.
03:50You've played here.
03:51I've played here a couple times.
03:52Yeah.
03:52Dustin, he's just a really big superstar.
03:56He opened for Keith way back in the day,
03:57so he's proof that you get in front of the right people.
04:01You're going to make it.
04:06It's so fun to be here on the road tonight.
04:08I'm hoping all the musicians connect with the audience.
04:10That is the key to longevity in this business.
04:14All right.
04:15Let's get to it.
04:15Let's get to it.
04:15Okay.
04:16Let's get to it.
04:25What a beautiful spot.
04:26I mean...
04:27Oh, this place is insane.
04:28I've been here since the 20s.
04:30101 years old.
04:31And it sounds so good in here.
04:33A little bit like the opera here.
04:34I mean, it was broadcast to a live radio show
04:36for a number of years.
04:37It really was informative and me coming up
04:40and cutting my teeth early on.
04:43What's up, Dustin?
04:47We have seven amazing performers
04:50that are going to come out here
04:50and play for you tonight.
04:52We're going to break it up into two groups.
04:54Got to go.
04:54I sit in my room going,
04:55What's happening over there without me?
04:58I love that.
04:59An original song.
05:02We also have in the house
05:03Keith Urban
05:04and Dustin Lynch.
05:09Look at this party's silent.
05:13Here we go.
05:15Hey, who's going to be the first person
05:16to, like, say something?
05:17You, me, Billy Joe.
05:18What do I say?
05:20You know what to say.
05:21This is going to be a little bit challenging.
05:23Not everybody has had the opportunity
05:25to work with other artists on stage.
05:27And, of course, you do want to be a team player.
05:29But you also have to find that little moment
05:32so that you can stand out.
05:33And although the audience
05:34is not going to be voting
05:35on the group performance,
05:36they're expecting a great show.
05:38And you better not suck.
05:39Ladies and gentlemen,
05:40let's do it up for Adam Sanders,
05:42Billy Joe Joe,
05:43to Cassidy Daniels.
05:48Tulsa, how are we feeling?
05:50You already had some fun tonight.
05:53I hope we have some Fleetwood Mac fans
05:55in the audience, y'all.
05:58If I could, baby,
06:01I'd give you my world.
06:03All of us open up.
06:05But Adam keeps singing the lead, basically.
06:07We're doing Go Your Own Way
06:08by Fleetwood Mac.
06:09And when they told me
06:10who was going to be in my group,
06:11we're all big singers, big voices.
06:13I was like,
06:13is this going to be a pissing contest?
06:15If it thinks to...
06:17Is that Adam?
06:17Adam, sorry.
06:19Let's take it from the chorus, please.
06:21I've been in bands before,
06:22and I know that it's really important
06:24to not be the look-of-me person
06:26in the group.
06:27So I'm going to stay in my lane,
06:28and I'm going to let everybody shine
06:30like we're supposed to.
06:31Go your own way...
06:33I still don't know what to do on that end.
06:35At first, you know,
06:36I wasn't necessarily really into
06:37performing our group song together.
06:40Even though these aren't judged,
06:42it's the first impression
06:43the fans get of you.
06:44So I'm going to try to stand out
06:46any way that I can
06:47just to give myself
06:48a little bit of an edge.
06:50If I could,
06:52baby, I'd give you my world.
06:58You distracted me, Adam.
07:00I got to learn the words, guys.
07:02Sorry about that.
07:03Let's run again.
07:05Loving you
07:07isn't the right thing to do.
07:11I'm very nervous
07:11because I don't know the song.
07:13How could I
07:14ever change the name?
07:16I'd only heard that song
07:17like once in my entire life.
07:18I mean, I still want to go out there
07:20and outshine everybody
07:21on that stage,
07:22but that's obviously going to be
07:24very hard with who I'm in a group with.
07:27I hope my nerves don't get the best of me.
07:28If you won't take me from me.
07:32One, two, three.
07:34You can go your own way
07:37Go your own way
07:40You can call it another
07:44moment ago
07:46You can go your own way
07:52Go your own way
07:54Tell me why, everything turned around
08:00Packin' up, shakin' up's all you wanna do
08:07If I could, baby, I'd give you my hope
08:15Open up, everything's waiting for you, yeah
08:23You can go your own way, go your own way
08:30You can call it another holiday
08:35You can go your own way, go your own way
08:50Thank you!
08:52Excellent!
08:53Wow!
08:5410 out of 10 right there, all three of them
08:56Wow!
08:57I am so impressed
08:59After watching the first group's performance, they sounded amazing
09:03I'm a little worried
09:04Hearing them kill it the way they did
09:07I'm worried our song isn't gonna be that
09:09I'm nervous to do this
09:21The first group went out and just slayed it
09:23The crowd was into it
09:24And I'm sitting here thinking, you know, it's gonna be hard to connect our song to this Oklahoma crowd
09:29We're definitely gonna have to step it up
09:31Step it up
09:38Castle, Oklahoma!
09:39Here we go!
09:40How y'all doin' out there?
09:43Woo!
09:44Baby, no, I wanna pick a tune or two
09:49Yes, they do!
09:50We are doing Sweet Home Alabama for our group song
09:53Everyone loves this song, it's a total sing-along song, but like, it's not really a vocal moment song
10:00I just wanna say I've managed to go through my whole career in the South without doing this song
10:05This is the first time I've ever played this song
10:07I think the Greek performance is definitely harder than a solo performance
10:11You know, you have four different people with completely different ranges and abilities and styles
10:17Big wheels keep on turning
10:20Putting us all together, it's just a little more challenging to have everything sound kind of like cohesive
10:25Singing songs about the Southland
10:28I was a little hesitant at first about Sweet Home Alabama
10:31You know, I've always been a storyteller
10:32And I came to this game knowing, though, that I wasn't the best singer
10:36I wasn't gonna just blow you away with vocals
10:38And I don't know, we'll see how it goes
10:40Birmingham, they love the governor
10:45I've been in the bottom twice now
10:47And everyone in my group has such a strong, powerful voice
10:50I really am trying to make sure that I can do whatever I can to make mine stand out
10:55I gotta bring my loud girl voice out to be followed by Channing
11:00After...
11:01Lord I'm coming home to you
11:02Can we like in harmony go
11:04Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh?
11:07To like end it?
11:08No, let's try that out
11:09I think that'd be kind of cool
11:10Trying to make it even harder?
11:12There ain't nobody in America wants to hear me go
11:14Ooh, ooh, ooh
11:17Sweet Home Alabama
11:19even though the audience isn't voting on this great performance for me if I mess
11:24this up like they're gonna remember it when it comes time to vote so I'm gonna
11:28have to go out and bring it I ain't ready to go home
11:49sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue
11:59sweet home Alabama
12:04Lord I'm coming home to you
12:11we love you Joseph
12:16Everybody has their own voice.
12:18Everyone's unique.
12:19Oh, yeah.
12:20Yeah.
12:22Channing was the most uncomfortable
12:24during Sweet Home Alabama, just not as Will House.
12:27It was the four of no range.
12:29Let's put them all together and sing Sweet Home Alabama.
12:32The group song definitely didn't help me show off my range.
12:36It's a song that everyone wants to sing to,
12:38and it's really hard to kind of make it my own
12:40and make it different.
12:41So I'm definitely gonna have to bring it
12:43with my original songs to show the crowd
12:45I have what it takes.
12:47How many originals do they have to pull out of their...
12:49Seven originals, eight originals, something like that.
12:51That's gonna lie.
12:52You know, and each one's gotta get you to the next round.
12:55That's tough, man.
12:56Yeah.
12:57And you're trying to save your killer ones for the end,
13:00but you may not make it till the end.
13:02Right.
13:03Tonight is high stress.
13:05Having Dustin here for this show is pressure.
13:08Oh, my God.
13:10Are you kidding?
13:13I've known Dustin for a long time.
13:15I've played in this venue with him several years back.
13:18Have you written with Adam?
13:20I have, yeah.
13:21We had a big number one together back in the day
13:23with Hell of a Night.
13:24He was a writer on that?
13:25Yeah.
13:26Oh, man. How about that?
13:27Yep.
13:28To have him here, I don't think I have an advantage.
13:30I'm more worried about the crowd.
13:32So I've actually played Canes before.
13:34I've learned you better be on your A game
13:36because the fans there have seen so many legends come through.
13:40The crowd is insane.
13:42They're the ones that are gonna give you a score
13:44to either stay or go home.
13:45You gotta make it count.
13:46If you pick a bad song, then it could be the end.
13:49Oh, I'm gonna need my Wheaties for this one because it's high.
13:55I honestly was not planning to perform this song the night.
13:59But when we heard the news that we were only doing one original,
14:03I decided to call an audible at last minute.
14:08If you guys can help me with those woos, that would be phenomenal.
14:10I have one shot to rope in the crowd.
14:12I'm either gonna grab them quick or it's not gonna work at all.
14:21The song I'm singing in Tulsa has been one of my top streaming songs.
14:24It's a very fun, up-tempo song.
14:26I'm gonna stick to what makes me different than anyone here.
14:29And I think that that is just energy, energy, energy, energy.
14:32Before it's all gone.
14:35I wanna burn brighter, take you higher
14:37Than that sun in the sky.
14:39I wanna make every sound.
14:41Adam just comes out the gay swinging.
14:43He's standing on wedges.
14:46He's at soundcheck.
14:47There's nobody here and he's like rocking it.
14:49I wanna go all summer long.
14:51But sometimes I struggle to hear a bit of what he's saying.
14:53So I'm not engaged.
14:54That's why when you hear a singer and you go,
14:56Oh, they sound great.
14:57But I don't feel anything.
14:59So I'm hoping that he can just get those lyrics across tonight.
15:05Good song, Adam.
15:06He got any pointers?
15:07I just gotta get him to crank your vocal up a bit so I can hear you.
15:10Got it.
15:11Is that new?
15:12No, you know, I wasn't planning on doing it.
15:13But when we were only doing the one song, I was like,
15:15Man, I probably need to come with some tempo.
15:18Hopefully it'll work out.
15:19Good luck, man.
15:20Thank you, man.
15:21I wanna run.
15:22I wanna go down a back road flying.
15:25I wanna jump if you jump.
15:27Hey, I'm holding deep diving.
15:29I wanna sun up to sun down.
15:31Hey, girl, if that's what you want.
15:36I wanna go all summer long.
15:38I wanna be brighter, take you higher than that sun in the sky.
15:42I wanna make every summer fantasy you see come alive.
15:46I wanna be the only thing that leaves our ball.
15:49You can tell the confidence.
15:50You know, he's comfortable on stage.
15:52I wanna go to the chimney in the air.
15:56Yeah, baby, I swear I ain't going nowhere.
16:03I wanna burn bright and take you higher than that sun in the sky.
16:07I wanna make every summer fantasy you see come alive.
16:11I wanna be the only thing when the leaves start falling still hanging on.
16:18I wanna go all summer long.
16:21Canesboro, thank you so much.
16:23My name is Adam Sanders.
16:24We love you.
16:26All right.
16:27He comes out on ten.
16:28Always.
16:29Maybe a little too intentional.
16:30It's a funny thing that you're quite right.
16:32You know, sometimes you can come out to an audience that's like this,
16:34and you immediately think, I gotta get him fired up.
16:37But sometimes the audience can be like, I don't know you yet.
16:40Right.
16:41So it's a weird thing knowing how to come out and read a room.
16:43Interesting to see how the voting goes for him today.
16:45All right, we'll see.
16:46You crushed it.
16:48Mister.
16:50Getting you some girlfriends in the audience.
16:51I couldn't ask for a better crowd, a better performance.
16:52It was cool to see my buddy Dustin up there smiling.
16:54He's been a believer in me a long time and helped me along the way.
16:56And that's what country music is all about.
16:58Lending a hand down to the people below you to help them get to the next level.
17:01And so I'm grateful and very blessed to be here.
17:04You ready?
17:05I hope so.
17:06I am really, really nervous because I am following Adam and he performs like crazy.
17:12But I do have a really sassy, powerful song.
17:15And so I hope people can really enjoy it.
17:17This is my badass powerhouse woman song.
17:30Own it.
17:31They're gonna love you.
17:32You got this.
17:33Got it.
17:36Going into Tulsa, it definitely feels more real.
17:41The closer you get to the grand prize, the more real it becomes.
17:46We got fiddle on this next one, as we should in Cane's ballroom.
17:50For the first three weeks in a row being sick, my voice was probably around 75%.
17:57But I do feel like I performed a heck of a lot better than being in the bottom two.
18:03Billy Joe and Rihanna are in our bottom two.
18:06I don't want to go home.
18:08There's $250,000 in a record deal and a spotted stagecoach up for grabs.
18:14So I'm going to sing for my life.
18:17This is my first time here at Cane's.
18:19But this is my song, y'all.
18:20I hope you like it.
18:21I can tell that you think you're gonna take my mane.
18:28The original song I'm gonna be playing in Tulsa is called Flame.
18:32And I am so excited.
18:33This song is fire, you know, because my kids teach me that because I don't know cool stuff.
18:37I put that ring on his left hand.
18:41I'm excited to still be here.
18:43I definitely feel like I'm finally getting to where I should have been all along.
18:48How loud is your vocal in your ears?
18:50Pretty loud.
18:51Yeah.
18:52You'd probably want to bring it down.
18:53You'll eat the mic more, which would be better out front.
18:55Billy Joe sounded really good at soundcheck.
18:57To definitely hear she's on the improve tonight.
18:59Good timing, because it's down to the wire.
19:01Thank you, God.
19:02What it takes, but I'm his everything.
19:06I'm here playing for keeps.
19:09You're just playing games.
19:11Honey, I'm more than just a spark.
19:15I'm a whole dance man.
19:21I'm here playing for keeps.
19:24You're just playing games.
19:26Honey, I'm more than just a spark.
19:28Honey, I'm more than just a spark.
19:31I'm a whole dance man.
19:38I'm more than just a spark.
19:44I'm a whole dance man.
19:53Thank you so much, y'all.
19:54My name is Billy Joe Jones.
19:55Help me get on to the next round.
19:56Give me some tens out there.
19:57Thank you so much.
19:58All right.
19:59What'd you think?
20:00Well, I was waiting for the chorus to take off.
20:03Right.
20:04Like, it was going, it was going, and then it...
20:06I'm with you there.
20:07What amazing harmony you did.
20:10I was completely rocking out like a fangirl at a concert.
20:13I can't wait to hear this original.
20:15I'm hugging you for that.
20:17You're gonna do great.
20:18You're gonna do great.
20:19It's cutthroat being a woman in country music.
20:23And this show is really important to me because I feel like I have something to prove as an artist.
20:28Ladies and gentlemen, Cassidy Daniels!
20:31I'm gonna be happy for whoever wins.
20:34And I would love for that to be me.
20:36Are y'all still with me tonight, Canes?
20:41Thank y'all so much.
20:42I hope this means as much to you as it does to me.
20:45I always said in this crazy journey, I just want to make it to Canes Ballroom.
20:49This has been the only place I've been wanting to really play.
20:52I don't know how else to explain this song other than I call it a redneck baby maker, y'all.
20:57Fellas, take notes.
20:59I'm Cassidy Daniels.
21:02I was never gonna be a firefly.
21:07Somebody's only a singer.
21:12Oh, the bluebird's singing in a cage.
21:17I find my way right through their bars.
21:21Thought I was alone.
21:26Suddenly he came along and treated wrong.
21:35Got me thinking about, baby.
21:41Got me thinking about, oh.
21:47Got me thinking about,
21:50I'll drive the rings, my picket dreams I know.
21:55She robbed some ride to her voice, you know.
21:57He tried to change me.
22:02Oh, he just understands.
22:06Help me watch this kind of woman.
22:10He's got to be a kind of man.
22:15Help me watch this kind of woman.
22:19Like, what do you do to beat that in a man at 40?
22:23You know what I mean?
22:24Well, she's a tripper.
22:26She's a tripper on the way up.
22:28Help me watch this kind of woman.
22:37He's got to be that kind of man.
22:48Thank y'all so much.
22:51I'm Cassidy Daniels.
22:52Thank y'all so much, Chelsea.
22:54Thank you, man.
22:55What a delivery.
22:57She's insane.
22:58I've not seen an artist like Cassidy in country music ever.
23:02It was like the perfect amount of energy in that delivery.
23:04It was just, it's all pro ball.
23:05She crushed it.
23:06Yeah.
23:07Like, can you just suck one time?
23:09I played games.
23:11I'm just so full of gratitude.
23:14I had the best time, and I hope they loved me as much as I love them.
23:17When are you going to run out of them kind of songs?
23:19When I stop singing, brother.
23:21Her and Cassidy crush it during their group performance is one thing, but just following her on stage, you can tell everybody's nervous.
23:29I have to follow that.
23:30You just got to get up there and do what you do.
23:42I love it.
23:43Thanks, Jenny.
23:44Oh, I love you.
23:45Oh my gosh.
23:47After seeing Cassidy absolutely slay, per usual, having to follow her is a literal nightmare.
23:53Mama said keep your mouth shut.
23:56Am I at two?
23:57I'm really worried.
23:58I don't want to lose the audience.
24:04What's up, Tulsa, Oklahoma?
24:07Brittany!
24:08Y'all are the craziest crowd so far in the best way.
24:11I want you to know that.
24:12We love that.
24:13All right, well, I'm dedicating this song to the OG of homewrecking songs, Miss Gretchen Wilson.
24:21This one's for you.
24:24Let us dive into Love Thy Neighbor, please.
24:28The homewrecker.
24:29My original song, Love Thy Neighbor, is about a homewrecker that lives two houses down.
24:34She's a little homewrecking poochie.
24:36Obviously not based on a true story.
24:39No, but everyone on social media thinks my neighbor is a homewrecker.
24:42The song did really well on social media.
24:43Like, people know that I take out the trash for the homewrecker.
24:44Mama said keep your mouth shut.
24:45I got my speaker for the homewrecker that lives two houses down, so like, I'm ridiculous.
24:59I try to be a good Christian.
25:01It went a little viral, but it didn't really happen for me.
25:05Maybe this experience is what all of this hardship has been preparing me for.
25:12But I got bones to pick with Little Miss Perfect.
25:15And then two houses down.
25:17You don't really play any guitar on the song.
25:19Is it a comfort thing playing the guitar?
25:20No.
25:21Because the song's so slinky.
25:22Yeah.
25:23Yeah.
25:24I would take that mic and just like.
25:25Okay.
25:26Brittany's song was really good.
25:27So long as she disconnects with that audience tonight, that song should do pretty good.
25:32Tell the story.
25:33Yeah.
25:34We'll feel the song more.
25:35Okay.
25:36I know I should love my neighbor like I love myself.
25:41If it's wrong to hate her, I'm heading straight for hell.
25:49But the girl next door will stay next door.
25:52And I ain't wanna judge.
25:55But she's a serial heartbreaking homewrecker who likes to love my neighbor too much.
26:01Oh, too much.
26:22Oh.
26:23Thank you all so much, Joseph.
26:26Brittany came out.
26:27I didn't think the connection was as strong.
26:30You have 30 seconds to connect with the audience.
26:32Who are you? What's this song? Why are you going to love it?
26:35And I'm not sure she connected all those dots.
26:38We'll see how the voters vote.
26:40Let's come on, let's get back.
26:44It's crazy. We are 56 minutes from my farm,
26:49so my fiancée and my parents will be in the crowd.
26:52Looking at the competition,
26:54I'm not going to build a note out like Cassidy can or Adam does.
26:58And it's way harder to play hometown crowd.
27:02Tonight, it's nerve-wracking.
27:04Tulsa, y'all feeling good out here tonight?
27:08I'm actually from right up the road in a town called Eight Air, Oklahoma.
27:12Hey, it's the cadastro, man.
27:14There you go.
27:15And this song I picked to sing for you guys,
27:17it's all about this area up here.
27:19We said yes, sir, no, man.
27:20We stood on our morals, and I hope y'all enjoy.
27:24It's called We Speak Country. Here we go.
27:28Hats come off when heads get bowed.
27:35A home team kneels when the other team's down.
27:39My original song's called We Speak Country.
27:41It talks about exactly how I grew up out in Eight Air.
27:44You know, I don't take for granted my story.
27:47To be able to be afforded the lifestyle I was given,
27:50I mean, it's all because of the people here in Oklahoma.
27:53Your word and your name means everything.
27:57It's super low.
27:59Yeah.
28:00So you sing sharp.
28:01And then once that adrenaline kicks in tonight,
28:02that sharpness will go up even more.
28:03Right, yeah.
28:04The instinct is to always to go,
28:05I'm going to come out and get you guys.
28:07Yeah.
28:08But some of you can kind of overshoot it.
28:09Yeah.
28:10And if you settle down into it,
28:11Yeah.
28:12I think it'll work better.
28:13Cool. Yeah.
28:14Will do.
28:15Playing in Tulsa, like,
28:16I want to make that area proud.
28:17I want to make my parents proud.
28:19It's pretty important.
28:20You're round here we speak blue collar blue,
28:24Marlboro red.
28:26Six days of work, one day of rest.
28:30Foods on the ground, prayers in the air on Sunday.
28:37Yeah, we speak country.
28:41I got some country folks out here.
28:43What ain't a foreign language?
28:47It kind of goes with L.C.
28:52We speak blue collar blue, Marlboro red.
28:57Six days of work, one day of rest.
29:01Foods on the ground, prayers in the air on Sunday.
29:07Yeah, we speak country.
29:12Thank you guys so much.
29:15My name's Cody Hibbert.
29:16I'm from Adair, Oklahoma.
29:17Y'all give me a vote tonight.
29:19Cody sure does know how to rile up an Oklahoma crowd.
29:22But I'm not sure if that was in the right key or not.
29:25I'm just hopeful that they're going to forgive the pitchy notes
29:27because he's a local boy.
29:29I feel like he was a half-staffer a hole too low, right?
29:32It's probably the nerves, but he didn't have the low notes
29:34and the verse.
29:35Good boy.
29:36Proud of you.
29:38I was a little pitchy on the low notes.
29:41Proud of you.
29:42Love you.
29:43Love you.
29:44Hometown, my parents, my fiancee were in the crowd,
29:46and I always try to do everything good for them,
29:49and so hopefully they enjoyed it too.
29:53I've been bottom two twice now,
29:55so I feel like there's a magnifying glass on my performance tonight.
29:59You've got to kick it in the butt tonight.
30:01I know.
30:02You've been in the bottom more than anybody else here,
30:03so you've got to kick it in the butt.
30:05There's a one in seven chance that someone's going home tonight
30:08out of the seven.
30:09I am going to do everything I can to make sure that it is not me.
30:14Ladies and gentlemen, Jenny Tolman!
30:29She brought us flowers.
30:32Tulsa, how y'all doing?
30:35My name's Jenny Tolman.
30:37I'm so grateful to be here with y'all tonight.
30:39This is my first time to Tulsa.
30:41First time to Kane's freakin' Ballroom!
30:46I love country music for the storytelling,
30:48and I love characters.
30:49You're going to get a lot of both of that
30:50when you come to a show of mine,
30:52especially in this song right here.
30:54There's a little bit of truth,
30:55a little bit of characters.
30:56I'll let you decide what's what.
30:58This is Married in a Honky Tom.
31:06When I'm riding in the bus,
31:07I'm thinking about how do I make myself better?
31:10And then there's also moments where you drift off
31:12and you're thinking about your family.
31:14Girl, I wish that they could be here to see this with me.
31:17I'm riding on my dance just to learn your pain.
31:21Hi, hello!
31:22Hi, baby!
31:24It's especially hard being away right now
31:26because next week is our three-year anniversary,
31:29and as much as I want to spend it with him and my son,
31:32this is my dream.
31:34Are you singing good?
31:36I hope so.
31:37I think I've been singing okay.
31:39Mama's been in the bottom two.
31:41What do you think I need to do
31:42to stay out of the bottom two tonight?
31:44Kick booty.
31:45Kick some booty?
31:46Yeah.
31:47Does Daddy have any advice for me?
31:49No.
31:50No.
31:51No.
31:52What Bear says goes around here.
31:54All right.
31:55Baby, baby, baby, baby.
31:58My original is the title track of my second album.
32:00I do.
32:02I wrote it with my husband,
32:04and I'm gonna play the heck out of it for Tulsa.
32:08What key is that in?
32:11Key?
32:12Have you ever tried to sing that higher?
32:14I have not.
32:15It's so low for you.
32:17Should we try taking it up for it?
32:18I would try it in A.
32:19I mean...
32:20Okay.
32:21Just to see what happens.
32:22Okay.
32:23I mean, you may hate it immediately.
32:24Listen, I'm looking to...
32:25I love you, and I'm not looking to spend any extra time
32:27with you in the bottom two tonight,
32:29so whatever you think.
32:30Nothing to lose if you try an A.
32:31Okay.
32:36Would you pour me a tequila soda?
32:39A key change this close to Showtime
32:42is throwing quite a wrench into my plans.
32:47Nothing like Keith Urban telling you
32:48to raise your song a whole step right before the show.
32:51Are you going to?
32:52I ain't getting in the bottom two
32:53with that man again tonight, uh-uh.
32:55I said, whatever you say, sir.
32:57Cherry stem ring, the stereo do.
33:00Something cold, something bruise,
33:02something pass-crickin' blue.
33:04A toilet paper van, bar stool pews.
33:07Hoping in sickness and in helping clues.
33:09Hangovers too.
33:10Cam tied to an F-150 limousine,
33:14and we were honeymoon gone.
33:17And that's how I got married in a honky-tonk.
33:21That's how I got married in a honky-tonk.
33:24Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
33:26Sing it back to me, Tulsa.
33:27I do.
33:29Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
33:34I do.
33:37All right.
33:38Who's gonna get us to feel great tonight?
33:40Nothing.
33:45Jenny was great.
33:46I mean, right away with her story,
33:47a lot of the girls connected immediately with that.
33:50Tulsa, thank you so much.
33:51My name's Jenny Tolman.
33:53She was singing that thing lower.
33:55Oh, wow.
33:56Like, let's bump it up a couple.
33:59So they melted up a couple, and it's just like...
34:01There it is.
34:02The whole thing was so much better.
34:03Yeah, energy's in the room.
34:04The key change did make it a lot harder for me,
34:06but honestly, I felt like that was my best performance
34:08I've done on the tour yet.
34:10I feel really good, proud about that.
34:13Sorry, ma'am.
34:15Oh, yeah.
34:16Being in the top seven, there's pressure.
34:18The percentage of getting let go goes up
34:21every time someone gets gone.
34:23I've always known this is what I'm supposed to do,
34:26but there's been really good artists
34:28let go from this show already.
34:30I don't feel safe at all.
34:32I was told that you have a song that's gonna kill me.
34:35Well, oh, you haven't heard it yet.
34:36I haven't heard it yet.
34:37I pulled it out of the catalog just for Kane's Ballroom.
34:40All you gotta do is just get out there and be you.
34:42That I can do. I appreciate that advice.
34:44I'm thinking about the group song.
34:46You know, it didn't let me do what I normally do on stage,
34:49and I wanna come across authentically
34:52so I'm wondering what I can do
34:55to just keep doubling down on who I am.
34:59Ladies and gentlemen, Channing Wilson!
35:05Hi, Channing.
35:08I just keep showing people what I'm all about,
35:10which is honest American country music.
35:13Tell us, Oklahoma, how are we feeling?
35:15How about it? Let's go!
35:17Hey, so when I found out we were doing Kane's Ballroom,
35:21this place is, uh, I ain't got to tell you nothing here.
35:24Y'all know about this joint.
35:26I pulled out a new song for this one,
35:27and, uh, it's fitting because when I walked in,
35:30this looked like country music heaven to me.
35:32I'm all about you.
35:33It sounds like the song that's gone.
35:35I love the song.
35:37I got to tell you, you know, that's what you're saying.
35:38I miss you, you know.
35:39I love the music that's my style.
35:40I love the music that's your song that's your song.
35:41I wish.
35:42I get a little bit of a song for the band,
35:43and I'm the song that's my song that's your song.
35:44I love the song that's your song,
35:45and I'm the song that's their song.
35:46check that's gone before i ever get home my original song this week is called real damn
35:53country song you can't get no more right out of me than that title i feel like a freight train
36:00coming off the track if you're a country music fan there's nothing better
36:05than sitting down with a glass of whiskey and putting on an old hank williams jr record
36:10i don't need no doctor i'm nervous i don't know how this is going to be received but it's a foot
36:17stomping beer drinking real damn country song that's great hell yeah

37:08I want a real country song.
37:12I want a real country song.
37:22Thank you all so much.
37:24My name's Channing Wilson.
37:26I'm from the mountains in Northwest Georgia.
37:28It's good to be here tonight.
37:30If you got one of those devices, y'all give me a vote, alright?
37:32Appreciate it.
37:34Fantastic.
37:36Yeah, that's no one in the room right there.
37:38That's connecting right there.
37:40That's so fast, man.
37:42I know.
37:43I'm a hugger.
37:44I'm all even hug Cody.
37:46It was great.
37:47Yeah, I definitely heard the crowd.
37:48Yeah, I didn't want to walk off.
37:49If you got top performing, I wouldn't.
37:51As soon as you get into that chorus.
37:52That song is like perfect.
37:54They seem to like it, so we'll see.
37:55That was great, man.
37:56Wow.
37:57Yeah, and it's not an act.
37:59That's who he is.
38:00Yeah, the real deal.
38:01Real Damn Country song by Channing Wilson tonight,
38:03I thought was probably the stand-up performance for me.
38:06But it's all about the votes.
38:07It's a tough decision.
38:09You know?
38:10We'll see what the crowd thinks.
38:11That's what this show's about.
38:12I loved you.
38:13Oh.
38:14I absolutely loved you.
38:16Oh, I'm with him.
38:17Not good.
38:18I mean, last week I felt really good, and then I was in the bottom too, so I just never know.
38:31It just gave me an anxiety attack.
38:34I honestly feel like this was my best performance, but I'm also very nervous because I've been in the bottom the last two times, and you really never know what an audience is thinking on any given night.
38:47Tulsa delivered tonight.
38:49I think everybody lifted their game tonight.
38:50I was really impressed with how well all of you guys connected to the crowd.
38:55Coming out cold.
38:56Yeah.
38:57Who are you?
38:58This is this song.
38:59This is what it means.
39:00Everybody did a great job.
39:01Now, of course, the fans were voting, and the voting was extraordinarily close.
39:10And, uh, Cassidy.
39:12You killed it.
39:13Woo!
39:14Number one tonight.
39:17Absolute top.
39:18So good job.
39:19Really good.
39:21The bottom two, unfortunately.
39:24Billy Joe.
39:30Billy Joe.
39:32And Jenny.
39:37Jenny, I think you did the best tonight you've done.
39:45But, um...
39:48Unfortunately, you've been in the bottom three times, and because of that, we have to let you go.
39:54We have to let you go tonight.
39:56Okay.
40:00I love you guys.
40:01I love you so much, Tim.
40:03I've learned so much being here.
40:04I'm so grateful.
40:05Keith's advice was amazing.
40:07That's the best I've done.
40:08But I felt so much energy when I was up there and when I got off stage.
40:12But at the end of the day, all of the other artists did awesome.
40:15And that's what the audience vote was, so...
40:18Yeah, you know, if you go to band or whatever, and you're like, no, I want to change the key, just tell them that you want to change the key.
40:22Yeah.
40:23You're leading it.
40:24That's right.
40:25Yeah, yeah.
40:27Yeah, you're welcome.
40:28I appreciate it.
40:29Keith's definitely helped bring out strength in me, and I definitely learned the importance of confidence.
40:34So I'm going to be taking that on the road with me in real life.
40:41I'm so proud of you as a singer and as a sister.
40:44I, like, want to know what I'm doing wrong to be in the bottom two twice in a row now.
40:51Being in the bottom two sucks, I'm not going to lie.
40:53It is so frustrating when I know that I can do better than that.
40:58Tough times for sure.
40:59Yeah.
41:01With each performance, you guys are just getting better and better, and you're learning more about your craft, about yourself, and what it takes to actually win over a crowd everywhere you go.
41:10Oh.
41:11I love you.
41:12Love you.
41:13We love you.
41:14Bye.
41:15We love you.
41:17I'll see you in Little Rock.
41:19One girly down.
41:20Richard, can I get your autograph on my phone?
41:27That was nuts.
41:28That was awesome.
41:29Oh, my God.
41:31We're going to Little Rock!
41:32Woo!
41:33Next time on the road, the final six are off to Little Rock.
41:44They're looking to find the next country star.
41:47Hopefully.
41:48What's going on, y'all?
41:49Jordan Davis.
41:50Honoring the heroes in uniform with a new challenge.
41:53This is the one and only night on the road that we're going unplugged and acoustic.
41:57Competition is fierce.
41:58This right here is what I'm all about, right?
42:00Well, I shot a man in Reno just to watch and die.
42:07Y'all give me a vote.
42:08Thank y'all.
42:09And Keith faces his toughest decision yet.
42:11It's so hard letting anybody go.
42:18Um...
42:30...
42:40...
42:42...
42:43...
42:44...
42:49...
42:59...
