00:07:29Alright, here we go
00:07:31This is a really big moment for me
00:07:33I'm ready to get out there and just do what I gotta do
00:07:36Never in a million years I thought I would be here
00:07:39The audition with the judges went really good
00:07:41It was such a vibe
00:07:43Oh boy
00:07:44Hi Miss Carol
00:07:45Hi
00:07:46And just having my son on the idol journey has been a joy
00:07:50What you been through
00:07:52God only knows what to say about you
00:07:55I've been doing music for six years
00:07:58I've had a lot of ups and downs and I was doubting myself
00:08:01But I never gave up, that fire was still burning
00:08:04You want it bigger?
00:08:05Yeah, I want it bigger
00:08:06Oh, I'll make sure we're big there
00:08:08I just wanna pour out my heart at that
00:08:09Oh, let's go
00:08:10The song I'm singing today is I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
00:08:14It speaks to me
00:08:15Because the first thing I thought about is just me and my son
00:08:19So when I sing the song, I'm singing to him
00:08:21I think at the very beginning
00:08:23I want you to sing it like you're singing a lullaby
00:08:26Mm-hmm
00:08:26Like you're rocking him to sleep
00:08:29Just really simple
00:08:31I do wanna be somebody for my son
00:08:33I want him to know
00:08:35You can do anything you put your mind to do
00:08:37You wanna come watch your mom with me?
00:08:39Okay, come around this way
00:08:45You sit in my seat
00:08:46Ladies and gentlemen
00:08:47Make some noise for Keilah Richardson
00:08:56My name is Keilah
00:08:57And I'll be singing I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
00:09:00Um
00:09:01I wanna let my son know that
00:09:03Never give up, baby boy
00:09:04I love you
00:09:05This is for you, baby
00:09:06I love you
00:09:07I love you
00:09:08I love you
00:09:11I love you
00:09:14I love you
00:09:15When I look into your eyes
00:09:21It's like watching the night's gasp
00:09:27Or a beautiful sunrise, well, there's so much to stay home.
00:09:37Because even the stars, they burn.
00:09:43Some even fall to the earth.
00:09:49And we got a lot to learn.
00:09:54And God knows we're worth it.
00:10:00I don't want to be someone who walks away so easily.
00:10:05I'm here to make the difference I can make.
00:10:11And in the end, you're still my friend.
00:10:16Yeah, we got a lot to stay.
00:10:21I won't give up on us.
00:10:27Even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love.
00:10:42I won't give up on us.
00:10:49Even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love.
00:10:59I'm still looking up.
00:11:03No, I won't give up.
00:11:30I don't know how you sang with him looking at you like that.
00:11:35But listen, it's so good to see you here.
00:11:37I love your look.
00:11:38I love the song.
00:11:40You just slayed that.
00:11:41And even showed us more of what you are.
00:11:45Thank you so much.
00:11:47You did great, Mom.
00:11:48I mean, your confidence, the way you just sung to the whole audience, really warmed my heart.
00:11:56Thank you so much.
00:11:57Just for you, baby.
00:11:58I love you, Juju, so much.
00:12:03Whoever's most likely to get fired is me, and he may have just took my job.
00:12:07Don't even think about it.
00:12:09Great job.
00:12:10That was beautiful.
00:12:11Thank you, guys, so much.
00:12:13So great.
00:12:16I'm just, I'm overwhelmed.
00:12:19Like to sing that song like that, it was one of the best moments of my life.
00:12:23Your mom did really great.
00:12:24You want to go see her?
00:12:26I just hope I do, just get to the next round of all that performance.
00:12:29It's for my son, so we got to get there.
00:12:31Do you like to make yourself tonight?
00:12:34Yes.
00:12:35Hope you.
00:12:36You did amazing.
00:12:37That's so cute.
00:12:38Yeah.
00:12:40I love you more than everything, baby.
00:12:42Music City, you ready to rock?
00:12:44Yeah!
00:12:45Stay tuned as Hollywood Week continues with your viral audition favorites fighting for a spot in the top 30.
00:12:52Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting, and it's drama, and it's stressful.
00:12:57You caused so much excitement, he almost rolls his ass off the back of this damn boy.
00:13:03A lot of people are going home today.
00:13:05I really hope I'm not one of them.
00:13:06I gave him my everything.
00:13:07She walked out like, this is my stage.
00:13:10You are a star.
00:13:13Get ready for the ride.
00:13:14It's going to be really, really special.
00:13:17At least I look hot when I cry.
00:13:23Welcome back to American Idol.
00:13:26Tonight, our singers anxiously await their turn to hit the stage in hopes of surviving the most brutal cut in
00:13:32Hollywood Week history.
00:13:35Knowing only 30 of us are going to make it through is a super scary feeling.
00:13:39I mean, this is crazy.
00:13:42It makes my belly hurt.
00:13:43I feel like I'm going to throw up.
00:13:44Oh, Lord have mercy.
00:13:46I just wanted to come and sit and listen to people.
00:13:49But you're the butcher now.
00:13:50I know.
00:13:51It's terrible.
00:13:53It's a war right now.
00:13:54But, you know, I've dreamed of this my entire life.
00:13:57So, getting to the top 30, this would change literally everything for me.
00:14:02Make some noise for Libby!
00:14:03Nashville!
00:14:05How are we doing, baby?
00:14:07Oh, yeah.
00:14:10I, yeah, I believe.
00:14:13Singing a Carrie Underwood song in front of Carrie was definitely a little nerve-wracking.
00:14:16But she gave me, like, really good advice.
00:14:18If you start off out of the gate going 100 miles an hour, there's nowhere left to go.
00:14:24So, if the audition was 100 miles per hour, what speed will this be?
00:14:28Slow.
00:14:29We're going to take it slow.
00:14:30We're going to be sexy about it.
00:14:31We're going to be sexy?
00:14:32Oh, yeah.
00:14:32I'm excited.
00:14:33I'm ready.
00:14:34Let's see it.
00:14:35Get with me!
00:14:39Let's take our time tonight, girl.
00:14:45While the stars are watching.
00:14:50Underneath the chandelier.
00:14:52We're dancing all alone.
00:14:59There's no reason to hide what we're feeling inside right now.
00:15:09So, baby, let's just turn down the lights and close the door.
00:15:16Ooh, I love that dress, but you won't need it anymore.
00:15:22No, you won't need it no more.
00:15:27Let's just kiss till we're naked, baby.
00:15:32Massage it on the floor.
00:15:34Come on!
00:15:35Oh, take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl.
00:15:43Versace on the floor.
00:15:47Oh, take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl.
00:15:55I said Versace on the floor.
00:16:08When you cause a judge so much excitement that he almost rolls his ass off the back of this
00:16:15damn club, it is clear that you are doing something entertaining.
00:16:21You would just perform it.
00:16:23I will tell you, though, song choice is going to be the master of here.
00:16:28We know you have a voice in there. Okay, so if there's a next time I want you to come
00:16:34out and show it off
00:16:36But overall you did a great job
00:16:41So Libby now waits for results while the round continues
00:16:46I'm nervous because I'm hearing so many amazing singers
00:16:59This performance is a huge deal. I get the chance to show the judges that I'm worth it
00:17:07Look like a star and you have such a big big voice
00:17:11But I had trouble picking up a lot of those lyrics because of the bending and the rounding out and
00:17:17the back phrasing and all that
00:17:19But you know, we'll see what happens later. Okay?
00:17:23Thank you. I just thought that I had done better than
00:17:28He said but apparently I didn't
00:17:33I'm a little nervous. I'm getting a little overwhelmed the judges they have some really tough decisions to make today
00:17:39But I want to be one of the top 30 like so bad that I could hit a backflip right
00:17:46now. I
00:17:48Can't flip but I'll try I
00:17:53I never thought I would make it to Hollywood week
00:17:57But singing has always been my dream and my dad and he just encouraged me to do whatever I put
00:18:03my mind to
00:18:04And he's like baby, you don't get it. I am missing my dad wishing that he was here
00:18:13My dad passed away 11 years ago from cancer. I was 13 years old. I
00:18:21Was a daddy's girl. I was there every day every step of the way
00:18:25Take an angel by the wind
00:18:27At the hospital I fed him. I gave him water
00:18:31I gave him his
00:18:32I was there to the very end
00:18:44Dear dad I live so much life since you've been gone and sometimes I wish I could sit with you
00:18:50and tell you all of it
00:18:52I carry you with me in my heart
00:18:56Every step forward I miss you more than words could ever say
00:19:04Love your baby girl
00:19:07I
00:19:08Know he's proud
00:19:10With this performance. I know he's looking down and shining down on me and
00:19:19When I hit this stage the heavens will be dancing
00:19:35And it's supposed to be here
00:19:39I've tried that love thing for the last time
00:19:46But when I turn around
00:19:50Again love has knocked me down
00:19:55My heart got broke, you know it hurts so bad
00:19:58I'm sad to say love is again
00:20:03I'm sad to say love is again
00:20:03So I place my heart under like a key
00:20:06So I place my heart under like a key
00:20:08To take some time and take care of me
00:20:10But I turn around
00:20:12And you're standing here
00:20:18Standing here
00:20:20Standing here
00:20:21Oh yeah
00:20:24No
00:20:27No
00:20:28No
00:20:28No
00:20:28No
00:20:29No
00:20:39No
00:20:40No
00:20:40Oh, no, no, no, no, nobody's supposed to be here, came along and changed my mind, how did you get
00:20:57here?
00:21:12I don't know where you're going to be in the stars, but you are a star.
00:21:21With the first line of singers complete, making it so difficult.
00:21:26Where are we putting all these people?
00:21:27It's time for the judges to discuss what they've heard.
00:21:30I had her as a yes.
00:21:31You think?
00:21:32She had the wrong song.
00:21:34That was the wrong everything.
00:21:35This year, they will first decide if our hopefuls have shown enough potential.
00:21:41Make it here to the Golden Room, and you're still in the mix for a spot in the top 30.
00:21:46Otherwise, it's the end of the road.
00:21:49You know I'm sad to see this one go.
00:21:51But for those who've made it here, they can't get too comfortable, because more dramatic cuts are just around the
00:21:59corner.
00:21:59I've always dreamed of being in a position like this.
00:22:04It's so hard having to cut this many, y'all.
00:22:14At this stage of the competition, we have to cut from 127 down to 30.
00:22:24This is not your everyday easy task.
00:22:30Would the people I call please step forward?
00:22:34Bryant.
00:22:37Keela.
00:22:42Micaiah.
00:22:46Front row, you are going to the Golden Room.
00:22:50Your journey with us continues.
00:22:56Back row, we're sorry, but your journey with American Idol ends now.
00:23:01It's like a whole weight has been lifted off of me.
00:23:05I feel so good.
00:23:06I'm just really celebrating.
00:23:10Going back to serving tables, you know?
00:23:12We didn't get what we wanted, but it's okay.
00:23:14It just wasn't enough, basically.
00:23:20Made it through to the Golden Room.
00:23:22I have no idea what's going to happen next, but I cannot wait.
00:23:30Here's 27-year-old Tori McCullough!
00:23:35Let the church say amen.
00:23:37Amen.
00:23:37Amen.

00:25:3921-year-old rocker Madison Moon.
00:25:42I've been performing
00:25:44since I was very, very little.
00:25:46I grew up listening to rock.
00:25:48My dad loves hard rock music
00:25:50and I always listened to it with him.
00:25:53My dad bought my first guitar
00:25:55and I still use it today.
00:25:56Both of my parents are musicians
00:25:58and it's just amazing
00:25:59to have them see me do my thing.
00:26:03Coming up next,
00:26:04get up audience for Madison Moon!
00:26:09I am very excited to see Carrie again.
00:26:11I'm actually doing a song that she did
00:26:13when she was on the show.
00:26:15I'm gonna be doing Alone by Heart.
00:26:17When I saw Carrie's idol performance
00:26:19of Alone,
00:26:20it introduced me to the band Heart.
00:26:22This is a very challenging song.
00:26:24Especially, I take it up all steps,
00:26:27so I'm doing it a key higher.
00:26:29It's kind of insane
00:26:30that I'm going to sing it in front of Carrie.
00:26:32So, I'm hoping for the best.
00:26:41I hear the ticking of the clock.
00:26:45I'm lying here, the room's pitch dark.
00:26:53I wonder where you are tonight.
00:26:57No answer on the telephone.
00:27:04And the night goes by so very slow.
00:27:08Oh, I hope that it won't end all alone.
00:27:22You know, I've always gone by on my own.
00:27:29I never really got it till I met you.
00:27:35And the night shows me till I know
00:27:39I know when I know when I'm alone.
00:27:45So, I miss you.
00:27:46How do I got you in love?
00:27:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:27:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:28:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:28:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:28:19Oh
00:28:26You are the only person on planet Earth who has ever raised the key
00:28:45I just sang in front of Carrie Underwood again
00:28:49Raised
00:28:49No kidding
00:28:50The freaking key
00:28:52I didn't know it was possible to do that
00:28:54Now it's judgment time for Jordan and Madison
00:29:00No matter what happens, man, that is the best that I've ever done
00:29:04I got a bloodbath
00:29:06We're a little more brutal
00:29:07Cutting them in half and then we got to do another half
00:29:11Jordan
00:29:13Madison
00:29:14Your dream is still alive
00:29:16Thank you very much
00:29:24That's crazy
00:29:25I was not expecting that
00:29:27Oh my god
00:29:32I'm really proud of myself
00:29:38It's just insane that this is such a huge cut
00:29:41And for me to be considered to be in the top 30, it means the world
00:29:45So Madison is the first of our rockers to get to the golden room
00:29:50And after that, it was time for the male rockers to take the stage
00:29:54Music City, you ready to rock?
00:29:59In the still of the night
00:30:01I hear the world fell on it
00:30:02Smithing around your door
00:30:04In the still of the night
00:30:05I hear my heart beating heaven
00:30:07Telling me I gotta have more
00:30:10So you know I'm in your corner
00:30:12I feel like we had a few hiccups in there
00:30:16Mr. Thor Moran is telling me what's in store
00:30:20He missed timing and stuff
00:30:23It felt like he shouldn't miss anything on that song
00:30:28I mean, you gotta keep it high energy rock and roll, right?
00:30:31Let's rock it, baby
00:30:32Here we go
00:30:33Let's go
00:30:42You're just a good time, Noah
00:30:44I don't come down to, like, the Broadway bars
00:30:47But I would come if you were playing
00:30:50Oh my god
00:30:52Is every girl crazy about a sharp-dressed man?
00:31:00Rock can do no wrong and carries eyes
00:31:03That's not true
00:31:04I mean, he did the moonwalk in boots, people
00:31:06He moonwalked
00:31:10I don't know
00:31:11He might be someone people want to get behind
00:31:14But I mean, is he going to be a contender?
00:31:20Brett, step forward, please
00:31:24Noah
00:31:28I'm sorry, but your journey with us ends right now
00:31:34They canned me
00:31:36I think I'm going to follow him on Instagram after this
00:31:40The crowd started cheering
00:31:41And I completely lost my spot a couple of times
00:31:44But it's all good
00:31:45It was awesome to be a part of the whole thing
00:31:47I'm losing my rockers
00:31:49You know I'm sad
00:31:50Cheers
00:31:51Thank you
00:31:52God bless America
00:32:00Make some noise for Trace Casanova
00:32:03Great
00:32:04Come on
00:32:05Oh boy, here we go
00:32:10Mike, Michael, Michael
00:32:12Raise your hand if your name is Michael
00:32:14Oh, we got one over here
00:32:15All right, is that good?
00:32:17Thank you, everybody
00:32:18That concludes our mic check
00:32:19Thank you
00:32:23Let's swing it, boys
00:32:38I can't believe you got the internet
00:32:40Leaving us for walls
00:32:44Going off the rails on a crazy train
00:32:51I know that things are going wrong for me
00:33:01You've got to listen to my heart
00:33:07Yeah, yeah
00:33:09Going off the rails on a crazy train
00:33:16Going off the rails
00:33:24On a crazy train
00:33:27On a crazy train
00:33:29On a crazy train
00:33:40No!
00:33:44Great
00:33:45What are you doing?
00:33:47I mean
00:33:49Trace is just being Trace
00:33:51I mean Trace
00:33:52I mean, I love it
00:33:53You kill it, man
00:33:54Thank you, Trace
00:33:59Are y'all on drugs?
00:34:01Sure, you're stirring the pot out there
00:34:03With those guys
00:34:03That's what we do, man
00:34:04Yeah
00:34:05I'm glad I'm good at this
00:34:06Because I can't serve tables
00:34:07Well, either they want to rise
00:34:09Or they want to fall
00:34:10It's kind of making our decisions easy
00:34:11Easy
00:34:12Cuts
00:34:12Yeah
00:34:14Audience, please put your hand together
00:34:16Coming all the way from Dorado, Puerto Rico
00:34:18Roar!
00:34:21Roar!
00:34:22One day it's your way
00:34:24Before I get on with the ocean
00:34:26Since my audition, I actually flew back to Death Valley
00:34:30Did my 8th hour shift at the Desert Outfitters bike shop
00:34:35These are the prices for the e-bikes
00:34:37For me, it's very important to keep this job
00:34:41Because my housing situation is tied to my job
00:34:45It's for adjusting if it's too small or too big
00:34:48Risking my living situation for this opportunity is scary
00:34:53One day these mountains are tired of standing
00:34:58Today I'm going to be singing California by The Great Chapel Road
00:35:03This song California talks about moving from your hometown to pursue your dream
00:35:09And not wanting to let your family down
00:35:12This is basically the anthem of my life
00:35:14The risk that I'm taking right now to pursue my music dreams
00:35:19When I step on the stage, I'm going to be thinking about that plane flight that I took from Puerto
00:35:25Rico to California
00:35:27My brother dropping me off, giving me a hug, telling me, you can do this
00:35:35Go and make us proud
00:35:40I stretch myself across four states, new lands, west coast
00:35:51Where my dreams lay, I trade, amber, they wrote for the seafoam and the endless sun rays
00:36:09Cause I was never told that I wasn't gonna get the things I want the most
00:36:15But people always say, if it hasn't happened yet, then maybe you should go
00:36:23Come get me out of California, and all these are brown
00:36:30I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying town
00:36:37Thought I'd be cool in California, I'd make you proud
00:36:44I didn't think I almost had it going, but I made you proud
00:36:55Come get me out, come get me out
00:37:01Come get me out, come get me out
00:37:33You were holding that note at the end, I said, okay, okay, that was fabulous
00:37:37But let me tell you something, you have a natural stage presence that you can't teach
00:37:41I think you did a great job
00:37:46I'm not fully satisfied with my performance
00:37:49I kind of messed up on the lyrics
00:37:52I feel like I could have done much better
00:37:55If I'm being honest
00:37:56I think she missed the note
00:37:58She tripped on the sequence of the lyrics
00:38:02That's my favorite song, like I know it completely by heart
00:38:05Yeah
00:38:05It was just the nerves
00:38:07Maybe it got too excited, I think
00:38:09It is done
00:38:12You're okay
00:38:16Welcome back to American Idol
00:38:18Where 25-year-old stay-at-home mom Hannah Harper is taking the stage
00:38:23Hannah!
00:38:24I loved her, didn't I?
00:38:26How you guys doing tonight?
00:38:30Man, I'm Hannah Harper from Southeast Missouri
00:38:32And I want to be the next American Idol
00:38:35Because I want to be the forerunners for mamas out there
00:38:37Who can still raise babies and pursue their dreams
00:38:44I didn't see any other dream outside of just raising a house full of kids
00:38:49My youngest is one
00:38:51And shortly after he was born, I had postpartum depression
00:38:53And so I was sitting on my couch wallowing
00:38:56And my son kept coming up to me
00:38:57He said, Mom, open my cheese
00:38:58I'm like, leave me alone with the dadgum cheese
00:39:01And I finally opened his cheese
00:39:02And when I did, I realized that God had put me in that place
00:39:04And that where I was in my house
00:39:06Was the biggest ministry that I could ever have
00:39:08When I'm overwhelmed and touched out
00:39:12And they come climbing up on the couch
00:39:15Saying, Mama, can you open my stream cheese?
00:39:20I was excited that Carrie had an emotional connection to the song
00:39:23Because she's in the same position
00:39:24She's a boy mom
00:39:25Well, that's about the most relatable song I think I've ever heard
00:39:28And what nobody knew was how her original song
00:39:31Would quickly become one of the most viewed clips in Idol history
00:39:35The string cheese song
00:39:39So relatable
00:39:40Touching hundreds of millions of people across the world
00:39:43Are you kidding me?
00:39:45A song called String Cheese has me sobbing
00:39:48Can you open my stream cheese?
00:39:51Sweetest song I've ever heard in my whole entire life
00:39:53And I smile because I know you're here
00:39:55It was so encouraging to me
00:40:07You're my string cheese
00:40:09You're really sweet mama
00:40:12You're one that I'm gonna think about when we leave here
00:40:15Like, I wonder what song she's gonna sing next
00:40:17And I feel like I'm gonna be just rooting for you
00:40:30I had to leave my life in Dallas
00:40:34That town will always be you
00:40:39Woo
00:40:43Every crowd, on every corner
00:40:46And every face I see you
00:40:51Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
00:40:57And nothing short of breaking down
00:41:00It's gonna get me off this road that I'm on
00:41:05But I'm going anywhere as fast as I can
00:41:11I'm a little past, a little rock
00:41:14Further down the line
00:41:16Too soon to know what's up ahead
00:41:20Too late to change my mind
00:41:22Gotta keep my heart out of this
00:41:25With both hands on the wheel
00:41:28Learning more with every mile
00:41:31Just tell me that feels
00:41:34It's a lonely stretch, a black top
00:41:37Out into the blue
00:41:39Don't know where I'll go
00:41:41Or what I'll do
00:41:45I'm a little past, a little rock
00:41:48But a long ways from over you
00:41:56I'm a little past, a little rock
00:41:59But a long ways from over you
00:42:15Thank you guys so much
00:42:16She has one or two little hiccups
00:42:17But her tone is amazing
00:42:21Oh, Hannah, you know you
00:42:23You're one of my favorites in auditions
00:42:25Leanne Womack's not an easy person to sing
00:42:27It's like you listen to it and it's so nice
00:42:29But you don't realize how intricate
00:42:31The things that she does with her voice
00:42:33And I feel like you just nailed that
00:42:35Thank you so much
00:42:36I appreciate it
00:42:38I nailed it
00:42:41Man, I thought I had it
00:42:42You must have felt great about that performance
00:42:44I was very excited about the performance
00:42:45I just wish I wouldn't have messed up the words
00:42:47You did?
00:42:48I did
00:42:49Did we even notice?
00:42:50I don't think anybody noticed
00:42:51I didn't notice
00:42:52I noticed, man, I was beating myself up
00:42:55She jumbled lyrics too and got through it
00:42:57And she handled it and didn't even bump
00:42:59Yeah
00:43:01I'm real worried right now
00:43:03I got excited
00:43:04I forgot the words
00:43:05Didn't come in on the right spot
00:43:07But I sure hope I did enough
00:43:08To make it to the next round
00:43:13With another group of performances in the books
00:43:15All right
00:43:16Okay
00:43:17All right, what do we think?
00:43:18Our hopefuls wait to see if they've done enough
00:43:21To survive the judge's first round of cuts
00:43:24We got so many to go through
00:43:26That's exactly what I was saying
00:43:27Not her?
00:43:28I don't know
00:43:29What do you think?
00:43:29Mm
00:43:31There's a lot at stake right now
00:43:33I'm very eager to show the world that
00:43:35Even a girl from Puerto Rico can do anything
00:43:39I think this guy's time to go
00:43:41I think he just didn't rise to the occasion
00:43:43It makes me sad, though, because I feel like it's in there
00:43:46I hate this part
00:43:48Oh, Lord have mercy
00:43:52Hang in there, kid
00:43:53Hang in there
00:43:57Ruel
00:44:00Trace
00:44:02Trace
00:44:04Hannah
00:44:08You are still in the running to become the next American Idol
00:44:13Uh-oh, I'm sorry that your journey has ended right now
00:44:19Those are happy tears
00:44:21Yes
00:44:22I did it tears
00:44:24Yes
00:44:24You wouldn't even understand
00:44:26I've given an idea
00:44:28I'm getting the picture
00:44:31I was scared
00:44:32I was too funny
00:44:33I didn't think I was going to get it through
00:44:37What's with that wind?
00:44:39It's, uh, winner's breath
00:44:40I don't know, man
00:44:41Winner's breath
00:44:42Oh, God, dude
00:44:43All right
00:44:44So much fun
00:44:44So our hopefuls can celebrate for now
00:44:48But they'll have to wait with the others until the end of the round
00:44:51When the judges make their final decision on who's made it into the top 30
00:44:55I'm scared
00:44:56Everyone's so crazy talented
00:44:58Some of us are going home
00:45:00So I would like it not to be me
00:45:02Being here in the golden room and knowing that so many people are going to get cut
00:45:05It's kind of scary
00:45:06But I think the pressure is good and it will help me get through this stage
00:45:14All right, who's next?
00:45:17This is a tough board, man
00:45:20Let's see what they do
00:45:23It's a lot more than three people sitting at a table
00:45:26It's a lot more
00:45:27Yeah
00:45:31He was struggling with him
00:45:33I don't know why
00:45:34He's just got the voice
00:45:36He's the nerves
00:45:37Probably
00:45:39We had people in auditions that were confident, spitfires
00:45:44And we gave them some feedback
00:45:47It was a little shaky to start
00:45:50And it's like they fret and worry and overthink everything that we told them
00:45:57I think the nerves might have compromised just how good of a singer you are a little bit
00:46:02Did we scare him?
00:46:04I think we did
00:46:05I really hope I did enough to make it
00:46:08Oh, sorry
00:46:09Can you take the pressure?
00:46:11That's the business
00:46:15My knees are shaking, dude
00:46:17What's up, bro?
00:46:18Your knees are shaking?
00:46:19Yes, my knees are shaking
00:46:21Um, my audition the first time I had my hands in my pockets
00:46:24Take your hands out your pocket
00:46:26And look the folks straight in the face
00:46:29Yeah, I gotta make sure I keep those out
00:46:30Don't put them back here, though
00:46:31There you go
00:46:32Just keep them up here
00:46:33Are you gonna hold a microphone?
00:46:35Yeah, yeah
00:46:35That takes care of one
00:46:36Yeah, there you go
00:46:37Now it's what to do with the other
00:46:40Hey, yeah, that's a good
00:46:41There you go
00:46:41I mean, that kind of thing
00:46:42I need to show them more of my charisma, I guess, on stage
00:46:47And I hope they'll be able to see me move around a little bit more
00:46:50And be more of an entertainer
00:46:51Hey, hold up
00:46:53I'm not too confident
00:46:54You don't have to do a crazy run
00:46:56I enjoy insurance
00:46:58I enjoy helping families out
00:47:01But at the end of the day, music's my first passion
00:47:04And that's why I'm here
00:47:09Something's got a hold of me lately
00:47:12No, I don't know myself anymore
00:47:18Feels like the walls are all closing in
00:47:21The devil's knocking at my door
00:47:25Out of my mind
00:47:28How many times did I tell you
00:47:31No good at being alone
00:47:34Yeah, it's taking a toll on me
00:47:38Trying my best to keep
00:47:40From tearing this kid off my bones
00:47:43Don't you know
00:47:45I lose control
00:47:52We are not next to me
00:47:58I'm falling apart right in front of you
00:48:02Can't you see
00:48:03I lose control
00:48:08Oh, oh, oh, oh
00:48:11We are not next to me
00:48:16I'm falling apart right in front of you
00:48:20Can't you see
00:48:21I lose control
00:48:29When you are not next to me
00:48:34I'm falling apart right in front of you
00:48:38Can't you see
00:48:43Can't you see
00:48:55Can't you see
00:49:03I mean, how about that?
00:49:06Who possessed you?
00:49:08I mean
00:49:09You kind of walk out
00:49:11And then you open your mouth
00:49:13And you turn in
00:49:15To somebody else
00:49:19And I'm telling you
00:49:22That's somebody else
00:49:23We love
00:49:27Thank you so good
00:49:32Oh my gosh
00:49:34That right there was
00:49:34That was 10 times better than I was expecting
00:49:36Unassuming
00:49:38I mean, walked out here
00:49:39And it knocked us right out
00:49:41Shocker
00:49:41Even your eyes are watering
00:49:43Yeah, I know
00:49:43I almost started crying
00:49:44I feel like
00:49:45I had to get off stage
00:49:46For America
00:49:47To see me cry a little bit
00:49:48I'm so proud of you
00:49:50Oh, man
00:49:51This is getting hard
00:49:52I feel like we've had a lot of good ones
00:49:54I need
00:49:55I need people to start messing up
00:49:57We're going to be in trouble
00:50:04Welcome back to American Idol
00:50:07So far, after 52 performances
00:50:09Just 19 hopefuls
00:50:11Have moved on to the Golden Room
00:50:12Still in consideration
00:50:14For the top 30
00:50:16They're at least cutting half of us
00:50:18And like
00:50:19I ain't going to sit here and lie
00:50:20I'm a little scared
00:50:21Once all 127 have sung
00:50:24Those who remain here
00:50:26Will have to survive
00:50:26One more major cut
00:50:28At the end of the round
00:50:30I've heard people sing
00:50:32And there's a lot of
00:50:33Very, very, very talented people here
00:50:35This is the biggest stage
00:50:37That I've ever performed on
00:50:38In my life
00:50:43The first time I performed on a stage
00:50:44Was just at my piano recital
00:50:46I was probably about eight years old
00:50:52I thought I had just won a Grammy
00:50:54After I sang that song
00:50:57I don't think my younger self
00:50:58Would really believe it
00:50:59That I would be performing
00:51:00On this massive stage
00:51:02My first audition
00:51:03I did guitar
00:51:04But this week
00:51:05I'm showing a little bit
00:51:06A different side of myself
00:51:07I'm going to have to
00:51:08Up my game
00:51:08If I want to get to that 30
00:51:16I loveा
00:51:22Georgia
00:51:25Georgia
00:51:26Georgia
00:51:26The whole
00:51:29day through
00:51:33Just a
00:51:35more sweet
00:51:35Each song keeps Georgia on my mind
00:51:50Other arms reach out to me
00:51:57Other eyes smile gently
00:52:05Still have peaceful dreams I see
00:52:10The road leads back to you
00:52:17I said Georgia Georgia
00:52:26No peace, no peace I find
00:52:32Just an old sweet song
00:52:37Keeps Georgia on my mind
00:52:45I said just an old sweet song
00:52:53Keeps Georgia on my mind
00:53:09I mean 17 years old coming out here doing joy
00:53:13You know I'm from Georgia so you're already trying to make me
00:53:17I'm sucking up a little bit
00:53:18Play in the room already but
00:53:20Thank you
00:53:22I've heard the rest of the singers in my group
00:53:25It's actually really intimidating
00:53:29Especially because rehearsal has been stressful
00:53:31I could not hear myself at all
00:53:35What's that?
00:53:36I couldn't hear anything
00:53:37You walked past the wedges
00:53:38But you were not off pitch
00:53:41Your notes were on
00:53:43But I know myself and I've never sang not horrible
00:53:48I really want to show the judges something out of my comfort zone
00:53:51And that's what they asked for
00:53:54You were hitting some high notes in there
00:53:57Yeah
00:53:57But it would be great if you could put some oomph in there
00:54:00Oh you should see me with a band
00:54:03Maybe I took it too far and I'm doing too hard of a song
00:54:07I just fall, I kind of stumble a little bit
00:54:09I just wanted to be good enough for this
00:54:11But it's just starting to feel like I can't do it
00:54:19But right now I'm just trying to remember my Aunt Brittany
00:54:23Carmen, you're so proud of me
00:54:26I think Brittany has always been a very big mentor to me
00:54:29To believe in myself, to have the confidence
00:54:32You are ready
00:54:33You're ready for this
00:54:34You were born for this
00:54:35Born for this
00:54:37And that just helps
00:54:39Just remind myself that
00:54:42I am good enough to just be here at this part
00:54:45I really don't want to screw it up
00:54:49At least I look hot when I cry
00:55:15You're the wrong kind of sinner
00:55:17To release my inner fantasy
00:55:21The events I'm a winner
00:55:23And you know that you are born to be
00:55:28You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker
00:55:32Love-taking, don't you mess around with me
00:55:35You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker
00:55:38Love-taking, don't you mess around with me
00:55:41You're giving up?
00:55:41Why is she giving up?
00:55:43I just don't mess around with me
00:56:01Oh
00:56:05You good, are you okay good? I have fun good
00:56:10Okay, I kind of felt like you look like you're about to pass out or something
00:56:15It's a fast song. Yeah, so yes, I was trying to keep up but I did my best
00:56:22I know we were like we need some gas and we need some sass and you you picked a sassy
00:56:27song
00:56:27Yeah, but then I felt like you were just running behind it
00:56:33So I feel like I don't know where we're processing here
00:56:37But you obviously have it like this huge range to work with and I mean we love you or you
00:56:44wouldn't be here
00:56:45Thank you
00:56:52I actually thought I was pinning a lot into the performance to sort of hear that
00:56:57Just kind of broke me
00:57:00We're so critical now we have to be we got so many to go through how many do we need
00:57:06to get rid of a lot of people are going home today?
00:57:09I really hope I'm not one of them didn't we like him. He has a great voice

01:00:15think I have what it takes for sure
01:00:35We're not expecting you to be anything other than what you are 16 year old kid
01:00:41But uh, uh, you're just doing impressive stuff. You should be very very proud. Good job
01:00:54I want to see 15 year olds in this competition
01:00:57So I have to step it up and show that I can hold my own even being so young
01:01:03My audition went really well. It was a very emotional audition
01:01:07I wrote this song in honor of aubrey wyatt miss heather's daughter
01:01:10She was bullied for years and took her life
01:01:14I'm just so moved the way you had your heart broken
01:01:19For someone you didn't even know, you know
01:01:23For this round, I'll be performing stay by sugar land
01:01:28I've been working for this moment my entire life
01:01:31No, ma'am, I mean I've been doing this since I was so young
01:01:34I've been performing in front of people on a stage since I was 10 years old
01:01:38Make some noise for chloe gray
01:01:44Hi, my name is chloe gray I'm 15 years old and I want to be the youngest competitor to everyone

01:01:56I love it 15 years old good lord
01:01:59I'm super ready
01:02:02I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
01:02:09And I've been laying here praying praying she won't call
01:02:15It's just another call from home
01:02:19You'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
01:02:31What do I have to do to make you see
01:02:39That she can't love you like me
01:02:44Why don't you stay
01:02:49So the next time you'll find
01:02:52You want to leave her dead for mine
01:03:02Why don't you stay
01:03:10And baby why don't you stay
01:03:28Chloe Chloe um what a tough song to sing it's just you being a 15 year old that's the way
01:03:36it's gonna sound
01:03:37In the front part it seemed like you were pretty nervous
01:03:40But toward the end you really started locking in and hitting your stride. I mean you should be so proud
01:03:46of yourself good job
01:03:50Anytime you're dealing with a 15 16 year old kid it becomes really really delicate
01:03:55She was too young. She was good. A sweet little girl
01:03:59This could be a life-altering moment for them and we want it to alter them in a positive way
01:04:06Not too young just not ready
01:04:08We hope that it doesn't alter their confidence and who they are as an artist

01:08:08of fun
01:08:09But I consider myself really lucky that I have had the opportunity to play a lot over the last bunch
01:08:14of years
01:08:14And uh i'm hoping that that will get me into the top 30
01:08:20This is a tough board man
01:08:23How are we gonna get these people down to 30?
01:08:26I don't know that's what i'm sitting here thinking
01:08:30Up next to take the stage is minnesota hopeful chris tongue seth being here on american idol

01:08:45Love you too
01:08:46Love you too
01:08:54I'm doing this for my mom and for my family and obviously my dad is here with me in spirit
01:09:00I am so proud i have an american idol
01:09:05For a son
01:09:08So for hollywood week i'm going to be singing jealous by labyrinth
01:09:13I'm really excited to hear them
01:09:16After losing my dad and i heard this song and i was like oh this could mean so many things
01:09:22It's a breakup song essentially but
01:09:26When i listen to it after losing dad
01:09:29I think of
01:09:31You losing dad because there's parts in that song where it's like i'm jealous of the rain that falls upon
01:09:36your skin
01:09:41Share your light yeah you know thank you
01:09:46My family is the reason why i feel so confident in pursuing my dream
01:09:53This performance could change my life
01:09:56I know my dad's with me and i know my mom's at home just rooting for me praying for me
01:10:01And so i'm gonna go out there and give it everything that i have
01:10:09I'm jealous of the rain
01:10:16That falls upon your skin
01:10:22It's closer than my hands have been
01:10:29Oh i'm jealous of the rain
01:10:35I'm jealous of the wind
01:10:42That ripples through your clothes
01:10:49It's closer than your shadow
01:10:55Oh i'm jealous of the wind
01:11:03Oh i'm jealous of the rain
01:11:04But i wish you
01:11:07The best of
01:11:11All this world could give
01:11:17And i told you
01:11:19When you left me
01:11:22When you left me
01:11:24There's nothing to forgive
01:11:29But i always thought you'd come back
01:11:33Tell me
01:11:34All you found was
01:11:39Heartbreak and misery
01:11:42It's hard for me to say
01:11:45I'm jealous of the way
01:11:49You're happy without me
01:11:56It's hard for me to say
01:11:59I'm jealous of the way
01:12:03You're happy without
01:12:18I mean i felt like that was just kind of captivating you know just hanging on every word wondering what
01:12:25you were gonna do with it
01:12:26You've got that soulful
01:12:29Soft sensitive thing in your voice and uh it's very
01:12:34Mesmerizing
01:12:36Thank you
01:12:36Thank you chris
01:12:44I feel like
01:12:46I really like the way he arranged it
01:12:48Yeah
01:12:50That song typically auditions very well
01:12:54It didn't compliment it
01:12:55It was a little quick
01:12:57That song it's supposed to be one that you milk every second of
01:13:01I just had to hone in on what i knew i could do
01:13:05And i feel like i did that right there so
01:13:08We got a lot of cuts to make
01:13:11Stay tuned for more results in music city
01:13:24The thing i love about american idol is its ability to take
01:13:30Normal everyday people people that have not been anywhere in or around the music industry
01:13:37We take those people and give them the opportunity of a lifetime
01:13:42Being here in hollywood week and music city is nerve-wracking
01:13:48I have never performed with a big band or in front of anyone except for in church
01:13:54This does feel like a big opportunity stuff like this just doesn't happen to people like me
01:14:04Growing up in mournville it was very
01:14:08Definitely different it's not very uh wealthy it's very small very poverty like town
01:14:18I did move around a lot growing up we've probably moved about 10 times moving schools a lot and it
01:14:24didn't really feel like
01:14:25I fit in anywhere and I didn't really have a lot of friends
01:14:28I know finances weren't always like there for us it's really hard for me to talk about it
01:14:38Music was the constant and all of that craziness
01:14:42I always felt limited like I don't have the resources to reach
01:14:47This goal of mine when it comes to music because i've always wanted to sing
01:14:50I would lay down at night and i would pray
01:14:56And hope that something would come about and now i'm here
01:15:07I'm gonna be singing girls just might have fun by cindy loper
01:15:20I come home in the morning light my mother says what you're gonna do with your life
01:15:30Oh mama dear we're not the fortunate ones
01:15:35But girls they want to have fun
01:15:38Oh girls just wanna have fun
01:15:45That's all they really want
01:15:49So far
01:15:54When the working day is done
01:15:58Oh girls they want
01:16:01Oh girls they want
01:16:44Oh
01:16:45Well Chloe, I tell you what you have one of the most original sounding voices in the whole competition
01:16:53Thank you when I heard you were gonna do
01:16:57Girls just want to have fun. I was like I
01:17:00Can't imagine her voice doing it like Cindy Lauper did it and then when I heard kind of the moodier
01:17:05version
01:17:06I kind of really got confused because I wanted the original version that Cindy Lauper did
01:17:11But then I really enjoyed your version, but then it got a little sleepy, but then I still loved your
01:17:17voice
01:17:19Yeah, overall, there's a lot of emotions that I'm going through right now
01:17:24And I thought that we were all gonna be dancing to girls just want to have fun
01:17:28But I really appreciate your arrangement and when you do want to have fun make sure you come on out
01:17:33here and have a big old time
01:17:34All right, thank you
01:17:38I
01:17:38I feel like I let myself down
01:17:40I'm self-sabotage really badly
01:17:43I tried to do the best that I could
01:17:46It's almost like she's given up on herself
01:17:49The pressure of the competition is definitely a playing factor in why I feel the way I feel and I
01:17:55don't feel like I did my very best
01:17:57She's got the voice wrong song. It's really about pushing myself and wanting to win because I know I can
01:18:07I don't know where she went. Yeah, that's not it. Here's 22-year-old Brayden
01:18:22Gotta loosen up like I wanted to come out there and just like shake your arms and throw your vest
01:18:28across the room
01:18:29And I think you're a racehorse man
01:18:31Are you usually a mover a traveler on the stage a little bit? I've had some knee issues
01:18:36So I kind of tend to stay in the same spot. How's your knee not too bad?
01:18:40I just had two surgeries on these guys in the last year
01:18:47I've got two lower leg realignments
01:18:50The doctors have explained that all your body's resources are going into healing the leg
01:18:56And so you could be susceptible to get sick
01:18:59That sparked something in my head like oh my gosh wash your hands constantly
01:19:04Don't touch anybody. Don't let them get near you. No hugs now. I'm in a panic mode like I'm going
01:19:11to die now
01:19:11I'm going to die now
01:19:15These intrusive thoughts pop into my head that are not real
01:19:19It kind of developed a contamination OCD and it's really debilitating
01:19:25I had started going to therapy. I've made huge strides to getting a lot better
01:19:35Hollywood week that's good for me. I can focus on putting my energy into something that is real
01:19:42This performance is going to be the biggest one of my entire life. I'm confident going into it

01:21:03By lying and tearing us up

01:22:46But it seems like it's going to do well
01:22:48Hang tight right here folks
01:22:49Our judges are going to do deliberations
01:22:51And then we're going to know the results
01:22:54There's so much at stake
01:22:56And going into results
01:22:57There's just so many talented musicians here
01:22:59Like I want to be in the top 30 so bad
01:23:01Pass that old board down here
01:23:02So I can get my attitude right
01:23:06It probably means more to me
01:23:07Than most people here
01:23:09I've always pulled through
01:23:11Any situation I've ever been in
01:23:13I don't know
01:23:14This one's different
01:23:18This is a very heavy class
01:23:21And all of you have done amazing
01:23:24Amazing work
01:23:27This is probably the most unprecedented
01:23:30Time we've ever had
01:23:31Where we had to just cut talent
01:23:35Having said that
01:23:36Will the following people step forward?
01:23:39Jake
01:23:44Brianna
01:23:52Brayden
01:23:55This is something we are charged with doing
01:23:57So

01:24:24Some of us are going home
01:24:26Where we find out
01:24:27Who survives
01:24:29I was trying to kick you out of the room
01:24:30Because I'm so jealous of you
01:24:32If you were thinking about winning
01:24:33Just keep doing that
01:24:34And gets in to the top 30
