00:04:29I love her.
00:04:30She won Entertainer of the Year, you know, 2025 NAACP Image Award.
00:04:34How are you feeling being here?
00:04:35I'm feeling great.
00:04:35I feel amazing.
00:04:37First time in Hawaii?
00:04:38Yes.
00:04:39Very first time.
00:04:40Fabulous.
00:04:40I remember growing up, we were struggling at a point in time, and I never thought that
00:04:45I would be on this journey and to be where I am today.
00:04:48Man, it feels so good being out here, the sun, the beach.
00:04:53I feel like I'm living a life.
00:04:54The experience, I'm grateful for it all.
00:04:57What are you going to be singing today?
00:04:59Today, I'm going to be singing Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande.
00:05:02I can't wait to hear what you got.
00:05:04Let's do it.
00:05:04Yeah, do your thing.
00:05:04Let's do it.
00:05:05Let's do it.
00:05:05She got her body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:10You didn't miss a note.
00:05:11She didn't miss a note.
00:05:12She didn't miss a note.
00:05:13That was incredible.
00:05:15I'm for it.
00:05:15If I were to say anything, it's just another little element you could sprinkle on is talking
00:05:19to the audience as that in-bamp-out comes in, just being like, sing it with me or
00:05:23whatever, you know, give you a little moment.
00:05:25Wait a minute to you, come on, V to the A, to the E, to the G.
00:05:31Her ease on stage and this innate star quality she's got, yeah, that, she'll, if she tries
00:05:37that, it'll work.
00:05:40Don't change a thing, I think.
00:05:41I'm not.
00:05:46She got her body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:53She got her body like a Cadillac, but I can see you into overdrive.
00:05:59You've been waiting for that, come on, come on, split your back.
00:06:06See, anybody could be bad to you.
00:06:08You need a good girl to blow your mind.

00:06:35Wait a minute to you.
00:06:38She might have let you hold her head just through, but I'ma show you how to graduate.
00:06:43Come on.
00:06:44No, I don't need to hear you talk to talk.
00:06:47Just come and show me what your mama can.
00:06:51You got up there, baby.

00:08:00Aloha.
00:08:01Aloha.
00:08:01Got the Aloha spirit.
00:08:03Did she engage with you?
00:08:04I think she did.
00:08:05What?
00:08:05To make her want her back.
00:08:07Well, judges, did you feel it as well?
00:08:09Let's start with you, Lionel.
00:08:10What do you think?
00:08:10Did we feel it?

00:08:19Come on.
00:08:21Talk about a crowd pleaser.
00:08:24Boom.
00:08:25From the moment that you stepped out,
00:08:27you had the audience engaged.
00:08:29Now, in the first verse, did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34Your recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39It felt like a quick moment, but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, girl.
00:08:44Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:08:46It's insane.
00:08:48I mean, you understood the assignment.
00:08:50That's right.
00:08:51You're the first one up, and I mean,
00:08:53you came out and you delivered.
00:08:54I went back and I rewatched your audition,
00:08:57and, like, you just have notes on notes on notes on notes,
00:08:59and here you got to show us that you not only can sing,
00:09:03but you are a performer.
00:09:05That's right.
00:09:09You ain't in Arkansas no more, so.
00:09:12Come on.
00:09:12I mean, your outfit's great.
00:09:14Your whole presentation and the energy
00:09:15was just through the roof,
00:09:17and just watching the crowd react
00:09:19is what it's all about.
00:09:20Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:24Starting us off up-tempo.

00:09:46Jake Thistler delivers some Huey Lewis and the news
00:09:49right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More Idol, right?
00:10:03Back with you on Idol,
00:10:05where we love highlighting the great work
00:10:07being done by Make-A-Wish.
00:10:08I wanted to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here,
00:10:11our superstar,
00:10:13who is bravely facing ongoing treatment
00:10:15for a brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol
00:10:20with her family here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:10:23You're a star.
00:10:24Are you having a good time?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah, all right.
00:10:27Well, we love your energy.
00:10:28We love your spirit.
00:10:30Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:33Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:35Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends
00:10:39at Make-A-Wish for nearly 45 years
00:10:41and is proud to grant a Disney wish
00:10:43every hour of every day.
00:10:45You can learn more at wish.org slash Disney.
00:10:48Now, here's how Brad Pais and Kiki Palmer
00:10:50took the reins with singer-songwriter Jake Thistle.
00:10:53You ready?
00:10:54Come on.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:57You've been performing since you were nine.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00From nine to 15, I could play bars
00:11:02because I was young enough
00:11:03where nobody would ever think to serve me.
00:11:04I was the same way.
00:11:05I did bars from the time I was 10
00:11:08until I left,
00:11:09and it actually scared me off alcohol
00:11:11for a long time.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13We come from different parts of the country,
00:11:15and we play different styles of music,
00:11:16but we still have a lot of shared experiences,
00:11:18and so I had a great time
00:11:19talking to Brad about that.
00:11:20I'm singing The Power of Love by Huey Lewis.
00:11:22Oh, my God.
00:11:23So that's one of my favorite songs of all time.
00:11:25The power of love
00:11:26is a curious thing.
00:11:29Make a one man weep,
00:11:30make another man sing.
00:11:33You're a tremendous player.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35That's so kind to you.
00:11:36That is so perfectly done.
00:11:38More of a feeling
00:11:39that's a power of love.
00:11:42Yes!
00:11:43It's a high song.
00:11:44I mean, Huey always sang
00:11:45higher than you think.
00:11:48There's something about that voice of his,
00:11:49but in your case, too,
00:11:50go for those high ones.
00:11:52Power, you feel the power.
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless,
00:11:55and, you know,
00:11:56sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:58I had a record exec once tell me,
00:12:01make it look hard tonight,
00:12:02and so I play a solo that's not that hard,
00:12:05and I was just like,
00:12:06and, like, in the middle,
00:12:08and the cover of the newspaper
00:12:09the next day was that shot.
00:12:11There's sort of a power
00:12:12about getting out there
00:12:13and really, you know,
00:12:14going for it
00:12:15with facial expressions
00:12:15and body language,
00:12:16and that was great advice
00:12:17for him to give me.
00:12:19I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:12:20This is all going to come down
00:12:21to the stage presence
00:12:23that you show, I think,
00:12:24on a song like this.
00:12:25Thank you guys so much.
00:12:26You're great, man.
00:12:27Yeah!
00:12:27It really means the world.
00:12:40Power of love is a curious thing
00:12:43Make one man weep,
00:12:45make another man sing
00:12:48Change your heart
00:12:49to a little wider
00:12:51More than a feeling
00:12:53That's the power of love
00:12:59Don't need money
00:13:01Don't take things
00:13:03Don't need no credit card
00:13:05to ride this train
00:13:06It's strong and it's sudden
00:13:08But it's cruel sometimes
00:13:10Might just save your life
00:13:15You say that all in love
00:13:18is pain
00:13:19Yeah, but you don't care
00:13:23With a little help from above
00:13:26You feel the power of love
00:13:31You feel the power of love
00:13:36First time you feel it
00:13:38It might make you mad
00:13:39Next time you feel it
00:13:42It might make you sad
00:13:43But you'll be glad, baby
00:13:46When you find
00:13:47That's the power
00:13:49Makes the world go round
00:13:52Don't need money
00:13:53Don't take faith
00:13:55Don't need no credit card
00:13:58To ride this train
00:13:59Tough with a diamond
00:14:01Strong with a steel
00:14:03You won't feel it up
00:14:06Till you feel it
00:14:07You want the power
00:14:09Oh, you feel the power
00:14:11You feel the power
00:14:13You feel the power
00:14:15You feel the power
00:14:19You feel the power
00:14:28You feel the power
00:14:30You feel the power
00:14:33You feel the power
00:14:34Yes!
00:14:37The power of love, the Back to the Future soundtrack
00:14:40You, Lewis, and the News
00:14:41You wanted to bring the energy
00:14:43I think it was mission accomplished
00:14:44Thank you so much
00:14:45Let's get to the judges on this one
00:14:47Lionel?
00:14:47Did I detect this sexy
00:14:52Sexy Jake?
00:14:53And then, did you notice, judges?
00:14:55I've never seen you when you get the ugly face
00:14:58That means you're singing your heart out, man
00:15:01I mean, honestly, that's what we're looking for
00:15:04Bring it!

00:15:11Bring it!

00:15:14Your number one thing is
00:15:15You always look like you're in control of the moment
00:15:17And you're comfortable
00:15:18And it looks professional
00:15:20We've seen you do more laid-back stuff
00:15:23So it was really fun to see you branch out
00:15:25Do kind of some rock and roll
00:15:27And that was the best example
00:15:29That I've seen you do that thus far
00:15:31Great job

00:15:38Like, we know you have a great voice
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that
00:15:42But you just looked like you were having fun
00:15:44Paisley gave you some really great notes on the guitar
00:15:47You had some Paisley moves going on
00:15:49In the best way
00:15:50I'll take it
00:15:50Thank you so much
00:15:51It means a lot
00:15:54I mean, it was fabulous
00:15:55You could tell that you were so at home on stage
00:15:58And that moment where you stopped playing
00:15:59And you really leaned in
00:16:00It was great to see how you were connecting to the crowd
00:16:03I mean, it felt like a party out here

00:22:33and make it through tonight is Genevieve Hayward.
00:22:39Aulani has been absolutely incredible.
00:22:42Because we are here for a competition,
00:22:44it does help when you're in those peak pressure moments
00:22:46to be able to look around and be like,
00:22:47okay, look at that palm tree.
00:22:51That palm tree's chilling.
00:22:52I'm gonna be chilling, you know?
00:22:55I'm feeling pretty zenned out.
00:22:57That feels good.
00:22:57This was a much-needed zen moment.
00:23:04You're funny.
00:23:08For this round, I'll be singing Pink Pony Club by Chaperone.
00:23:11Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the beach.
00:23:16I was floored by Genevieve.
00:23:18Yes!
00:23:18She knows who she is already
00:23:29It's a real sort of rock and roll energy
00:23:35All of this spontaneity just like the whimsy when you were starting and you're laughing and just do it
00:23:40Just do it. I'm not sure if there's like something they can do in the beginning before you get into
00:23:44the song
00:23:45But I almost wanted to meet you in an intro. Yeah before you get into the song because I feel
00:23:50like that's you
00:23:51Like kind of bring the personality like right out the gate
00:23:53Yes, Kiki almost immediately like saw me as a person. She's like you're a showman
00:23:58So we worked on kind of incorporating a little bit of that kind of attitude to it
00:24:03American Idol, it's Genevieve. Are you all ready to go to the Pink Pony Club?
00:24:09Yes, we are. I just hope that what I want to show comes out the right way on that stage
00:24:15Love

00:24:26Your eyes spawned her
00:24:28Yeah
00:24:29I know you wanted me to stay
00:24:32I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in LA
00:24:37I heard that there's a special place
00:24:42Boys and girls can all be queens every single day
00:24:46I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee
00:24:51Here's Santa Monica
00:24:53I swear it's calling me
00:24:56Won't make my mama proud
00:24:58It's gonna cause a scene
00:25:00She sees her baby girl
00:25:02I know she's gonna scream
00:25:04God, what have you done?
00:25:08God, what have you done?
00:25:08You're a Pink Pony Girl
00:25:09And you dance at the club, oh mama

00:26:41There you go.
00:26:43Singing that anthem, right?
00:26:45Singing that anthem.
00:26:47Judges, did you feel that anthem, Lionel?
00:26:49Did I feel it?
00:26:51Are you kidding me?
00:26:52It almost blew my wig off.
00:26:54What are you talking about?
00:26:55There's nothing more exciting when someone opens their mouths and it comes out clear, strong, powerful.
00:27:04It was amazing.
00:27:05I love what you did.
00:27:05Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:08I remember early on when you were talking about what kind of artist you wanted to be.
00:27:13You wanted to occupy that pop rock space.
00:27:16And I love that you took this giant pop anthem and toughened it up a little bit.
00:27:21I love the gloves.
00:27:22I love the outfit.
00:27:23The second you walk out on stage, it's like, what's this girl about to do?
00:27:28And it's fun.
00:27:29You were having fun with it.
00:27:31Thank you, Carrie.
00:27:32Yeah, keep bringing the energy like that.
00:27:34I told Carrie, kind of whispered to her, I'm like, every time you're on stage, my eyes are just able
00:27:39to find you.
00:27:40When you walk out, you're like...
00:27:42Not the boot.
00:27:43It's you.
00:27:44It's you.
00:27:44No, it's not the boots.
00:27:45My eyes go to you, and that's what stars have to have happen to be a star.
00:27:50I just loved how you commanded it, and you're having fun in the moment.
00:27:54Thank you so much.
00:27:55I love the way that you let the stage know right out.
00:27:58Like, y'all, hey, we're here to have fun.
00:28:00I'm going to need some help with y'all on this one.
00:28:02You're so you on stage.
00:28:03You have such a unique vibe.
00:28:05You did excellent.
00:28:06I was in the Pink Pony Club.
00:28:08Yes, Kareem.
00:28:11And I got to say, you guys did a really good job helping me out on that.

00:28:51We're going to take a quick breather, but we're gearing up for schoolteacher Daniel Stalworth
00:28:58and his tribute to the one and only Lionel Richie.
00:29:02Idol is back in just a few minutes.
00:29:04Whoa.
00:29:12Well, here we are.
00:29:13Welcome back to American Idol, straight from the beautiful shore of Oahu.
00:29:17You're in the driver's seat and voting for all your favorites.
00:29:19Remember, when you're voting on socials, weigh in by commenting with one first name per comment
00:29:24and keep those votes coming all night long.
00:29:27Daniel Stalworth is hoping you send some his way.
00:29:30Here he is with Brad and Kiki.
00:29:36I've heard a little bit about what you do, but tell us.
00:29:38So you are?
00:29:39I'm a schoolteacher.
00:29:40Elementary music schoolteacher.
00:29:42So how old are the students?
00:29:43They are ages 4 to 11.
00:29:45Before I left, I had a student tell me, good luck, Mr. Stalworth.
00:29:48Oh, man.
00:29:48You are going to make it.
00:29:50Don't give up.
00:29:50Oh, my goodness.
00:29:52And that's my motto.
00:29:52Look at this little nose.
00:29:53That is great.
00:29:54Love it.
00:29:54Like the letter that his student left him.
00:29:56Oh, and I...
00:29:56Encouraging him on this.
00:29:57I have a soft spot in my heart for schoolteachers, my mother being one.
00:30:00And it's like to see a teacher where you know there's a school watching.
00:30:05I'm missing the kids at school for sure, but it's great to have some time to chase my dreams
00:30:09and just simply relax.
00:30:10I feel like a kid all over again.
00:30:13Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:30:16For this round, I'll be performing All Night Long by Lana Richie.
00:30:19That is bold.
00:30:20That's going for it.
00:30:22That is swinging for the fence.
00:30:23I chose that song because it's a party vibe.
00:30:25We're in Hawaii.
00:30:26I feel like that's the best song to fit the occasion.
00:30:28We're going to party, karamu, fiesta forever.
00:30:35It's a classic song.
00:30:36I don't know who doesn't love this song.
00:30:37I've never sung it live.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:39Well, I'm standing here in front of him.
00:30:40I'll just do it.
00:30:41Yes!
00:30:41For the first time.
00:30:42All night long.
00:30:45It could be a tricky move doing All Night Long and Lionel.
00:30:48Yeah, that's the riskiest thing anybody's doing.
00:30:52All night long.
00:30:57Yeah!
00:30:59Great voice!
00:31:00So this is like the first time I've heard an echo through here that somebody said.
00:31:04Are you going to acknowledge Lionel sitting there a little bit?
00:31:06Got to.
00:31:07You got to call Lionel out.
00:31:08I got to get him up.
00:31:08Oh, I'm out.
00:31:09Got to get him up.
00:31:09I like that Daniel's not being afraid to acknowledge Lionel.
00:31:12Yeah.
00:31:12If you need me to help you get Lionel up dancing, I'm going to be like.
00:31:16Singing this song is definitely a risk, but I would love to honor Lionel Richie.
00:31:21I definitely want to do this song justice.
00:31:38Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:31:43Way to go!
00:31:44Raise the roof and have some fun.
00:31:47Way to go!

00:39:37Let's go.
00:39:38Let's get it again.
00:39:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:39:40Let's go.
00:39:42Oh, oh.
00:39:43I saw one of these.
00:39:45Right.
00:39:49Let's go.
00:39:55Kiki Palmer, everybody.
00:39:56All right, so good, Holly.
00:40:00So insane.
00:40:01Oh my gosh.
00:40:02All right, up next in starting her own idol journey
00:40:06is Nashville, Tennessee's Kindle.
00:40:08Here we go.
00:40:12We're dark funny.
00:40:14I still don't have words for it.
00:40:15I'm so grateful to be here.
00:40:18That was so cool.
00:40:19And I got the platinum ticket.
00:40:21The industry platinum ticket goes to Kindle.
00:40:32Having the industry people choose me, I'm just honored.
00:40:36It shows me that I'm supposed to be here.
00:40:39This round, I am singing a Noah Kahn song called Call Your Mom.
00:40:43Oh, you spy, runnin' again.
00:40:46I'm kind of struggling with whether I'm
00:40:48going to use the guitar or not use the guitar.
00:40:50So you play the guitar?
00:40:52I do play the guitar.
00:40:53Right.
00:40:53But I really want to be able to get into a performance side.
00:40:56For this performance, I very much want to be open and vulnerable.
00:41:00Let it out and let it in.
00:41:03I really resonate with this song in the sense that
00:41:06Don't let this start.
00:41:09I myself have struggled with depression and anxiety
00:41:13my whole entire life.
00:41:14We're late.
00:41:15I think we're all struggling at different times
00:41:17with the little enemy.
00:41:19I'll drive, I'll drive all night.
00:41:23I liked you without the guitar.
00:41:25What you did standing there was so vulnerable.
00:41:27How are you feeling?
00:41:28You're somewhere still in between.
00:41:29I'm going to take your guys' advice.
00:41:30I'm going to get on the stage.
00:41:31I'm going to not play the guitar.
00:41:33I think that'll be really magic.
00:41:35I'm just hoping that by the end of it, those who may be
00:41:38questioning whether they should keep going or not, do.
00:41:50You're spiraling again.
00:41:55That moment right before it ends, REALLY
00:42:00You're most afraid up to sit on the line with you the entire night till you let it
00:42:08out and let it in. Don't let this darkness fool you. All lights turned off can be turned
00:42:22on. I'll drive, I'll drive all night. I'll call your mom. Medicate, meditate, swear
00:42:37your soul to Jesus. Throw up hearts, fall in love, give yourself a reason. Don't want to drive
00:42:46another mile, wondering if you're breathing. Won't you stay, won't you stay, won't you stay
00:42:54with me? Medicate, meditate, swear your soul to Jesus, fall in love.
00:43:08Oh, don't let this darkness fool you. All lights turned off can be turned on. I'll drive,
00:43:22I'll drive all night. I'll call your mom. I'll drive, I'll drive. I'll call your mom.
00:43:50There she is, the winner of our industry platinum ticket, Kendall. Way to go. And the industry
00:43:58is still here. They just extended their stay. Hi, guys. Oh, my gosh. You stood there. Hi.
00:44:02So nice to see you. Let's go to the panel. Kiki, what'd you see? You look beautiful. You sound
00:44:09beautiful. The bob is bobbing. Okay? And I'm so glad that you decided not to do the guitar
00:44:15because to see those hands free and just watching you kind of embody the whole vibe of the song,
00:44:20we went right there with you. You transported us into your world, and I loved it there. Thank you.
00:44:26Thank you. Very good. The second you start singing, it is impossible to turn away. Wow.
00:44:33Like, it's impossible to take your eyes off of you. The way you just were free in all of it,
00:44:40putting your hands in the air. I'm not sure I breathed while you were singing. It was beautiful.
00:44:46Thank you so much. Wow. No matter what you sing, whether you write the song or it's someone
00:44:52else's, you present it like an artist presents it. That cry in your voice is just so intoxicating
00:45:01to listen to, and I'm with Carrie on that. I was just, like, hanging on every word,
00:45:06and you are an artist, a big-time artist. Thank you, Lou. Thank you so much.
00:45:12The delivery was perfect. You just delivered the sermon, really, I'm telling you.
00:45:17Wow. Thank you so much. It was one of those very powerful performances. I love it.
00:45:21Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, guys.
00:45:24If you love Kindle, you can vote for her right now.
00:45:28On our official American Idol account of Facebook and Instagram and TikTok,

00:45:37Kindle, everyone, great job. Thank you so much for that signature sound.
00:45:40Thank you. Thank you. We'll see you later.
00:45:44Now, we've got more music on the way, and it's coming from Alabama's Cutter Bradley
00:45:49right here at Disney's Alani Resort. The Cutter fans are out. We'll be right back.
00:45:54Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Kendall, you nailed it. You nailed it. I am so proud of you. You
00:46:04are a flipping star.
00:46:07You are a star. Yes, you are.
00:46:16Looking good. You're back on American Idol. It's our annual visit here to Alani at Disney Resort and Spa in
00:46:22Koalina, Hawaii.
00:46:24And the top 20 have been soaking up all there is to do and making memories along the way.
00:46:29Take a look at this, right?
00:46:32Aloha, Aloha, Aloha.
00:46:34To be here after a 12-hour flight from New York, where it's currently snowing,
00:46:38it feels incredible.
00:46:43This is the first time I've ever been to Hawaii. The weather, obviously, is much nicer than it is in
00:46:47Missouri.
00:46:47There's about a foot of snow there.
00:46:49I feel like this is the most beautiful place on the planet.
00:46:52The vibes here have been relaxing.
00:46:56We're on the beach. We're in great weather. We're having fun.
00:46:58But also, we're here with 20 of my friends.
00:47:00Made a lot of memories with friends. We're having a blast.
00:47:05Paradise is an understatement.
00:47:10I still gotta get in that lazy river. Gotta get in on that.
00:47:13By the way, you want it? Are you down?
00:47:15I'm ready to go.
00:47:16Okay. I'm ready.
00:47:17Matching bathing suits, Lionel, you and me.
00:47:18Oh, no. No. What? What?
00:47:20Now let's see how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer helped Cutter Bradley on his epic Daughtry song pick. Here it
00:47:26is.
00:47:29This is the first long flight in good grief.
00:47:33Total hours was probably like 12.
00:47:35I've never been anywhere like this, especially not Hawaii.
00:47:39And it is way prettier than the pictures.
00:47:42The atmosphere is awesome. The people are great.
00:47:44We got Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and all them. They're having a good time.
00:47:48It is Mickey! What's up, dude?
00:47:50I'm in the top 20 on American Idol. Can you believe that?
00:47:53I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
00:47:56I was blown away. What could I say?
00:47:59I'm singing It's Not Over by Daughtry.
00:48:02When I was real little, my dad got me a mp3 player and he loaded that thing on with the
00:48:07music he listened to.
00:48:08You know, everything from Daughtry to old 70s rock and stuff.
00:48:12I really fell in love with Chris Daughtry and just how he performs and carries himself.
00:48:17Wow! Because, yeah, I guess when Daughtry was on American Idol, which was like two years old.
00:48:21Yeah, I was three, actually.
00:48:23Definitely one of my biggest inspirations and I would love to take the path he took.
00:48:27It's not over.
00:48:30So I'll be performing without a guitar, so I'm going to try to not be nervous this round.
00:48:35So you usually play guitar?
00:48:37I usually play guitar.
00:48:38Can we have the mic? You're going to hold it?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:40Maybe you were just in it, so you're not thinking. Your hand was kind of here and you were doing
00:48:44this.
00:48:45Oh, interesting.
00:48:45And it was just this, you know. So now you've got a mic.
00:48:49Yeah.
00:48:49And this hand is free to...
00:48:50Do whatever.
00:48:51Enunciate.
00:48:52That's right.
00:48:53Yeah.
00:48:53Let's start over and try to do it right this time around.
00:48:59I just kept looking at that hand thinking, this is a guy who's not used to not to doing this.
00:49:03And sure enough, that was true.
00:49:04Guys like me that play the guitar when first time that you're like, you're going to just sing this this
00:49:09evening with a microphone.
00:49:09It's like, what do I do with my hands? I look ridiculous if I don't really figure out what I'm
00:49:15going to do.
00:49:16As long as he can do that, I think he's going to be fine because the voice is there.
00:49:21You're going to be great, man.
00:49:22Thank y'all.
00:49:31I was blown away.
00:49:33What could I say?
00:49:36It all seemed to make sense.
00:49:38You're taking away everything.
00:49:42And I can't deal with it.
00:49:44I try to save the good life.
00:49:48The good things in life are hard to find.
00:49:51We'll blow it away.
00:49:53We'll blow it away.
00:49:55We'll make this something good.
00:50:00But when I try to do it right this time around, it's not over.
00:50:08Try to do it right this time around.
00:50:11It's not over.
00:50:13A part of me standing in the grass.
00:50:17This love is killing me.
00:50:22But you're the only one.
00:50:24It's not over.
00:50:29Let it out, let it out.
00:50:33Don't get caught up in yourself
00:50:35Let it out, let it out.
00:50:39Don't get caught up in yourself
00:50:42Let it out, let it out
00:50:46Don't get caught up in yourself
00:50:48Let it out
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:58Try to do it right this time around
00:51:01It's not over
00:51:04There's a part of me standing in the ground
00:51:08This love is killing me
00:51:13But you're the only one
00:51:15It's not over
00:51:28There he is!
00:51:30Well done, Flashback Daughtry.
00:51:34Man, spending time with him, seeing you do that so many years later.
00:51:37Your dad headbanging down there in the audience
00:51:41He was singing along as well
00:51:42Yeah, he was
00:51:43He was like listening in stereo there
00:51:46Judges, what'd you think?
00:51:47Lionel Richie
00:51:48Well, I'll tell you what I was listening to
00:51:49Carrie didn't miss not one note
00:51:52Not one lyric
00:51:54Okay, and between that and your dad headbanging
00:51:57What the heck is going on around here?
00:52:00You were familiar with that
00:52:01I got right away that that was in your wheelhouse
00:52:04You were very, very in pocket
00:52:07And it showed, it showed really great
00:52:10Thank you
00:52:11I agree with Lionel
00:52:12It was just so good to see you lose yourself on stage
00:52:15Like seeing you perform it yesterday
00:52:16It was great
00:52:17We had the vibe
00:52:18But with the band and the element going
00:52:20I can see you just embodying it
00:52:22And this is definitely your lane
00:52:23For sure
00:52:23Boom!
00:52:24Thank you so much
00:52:25Your lane is
00:52:27That's the perfect way to put it
00:52:29I feel like it was such a smart song choice for you
00:52:31You know, you're Cutter Bradley
00:52:32You're like our country kind of rock guy
00:52:35And I feel like that song just like fit perfectly
00:52:38I encourage you to just keep getting comfortable
00:52:41Keep entertaining
00:52:42You're exactly where you're supposed to be
00:52:44Doing what you're supposed to be doing
00:52:48Remember to breathe, Cutter
00:52:49Remember to breathe
00:52:51There was a couple times I was like
00:52:53The boy's running out of air
00:52:54But I tell you what's really endearing about you
00:52:58Is you are that guy that's going to relate to all the dudes
00:53:03And, you know, we're throwing a lot of different stuff
00:53:05And you keep trusting your gut with the songs that you know
00:53:09And want to perform
00:53:10And you're getting better and better with every performance
00:53:13A lot of energy on that one
00:53:14And be very proud of it
00:53:16I love it
00:53:16Thank you so much
00:53:17Thank y'all

00:53:21So growing up, you and dad would listen to that in the car?

00:53:25Me and dad would be bumping that all the way down the road
00:53:28Anywhere we're going, we're bumping it
00:53:29Was he driving and taking his head to him?
00:53:31Oh yeah

00:53:33But, you know

00:54:50Here is the lesson bratting Kiki Hadford college student
00:54:53Jesse Finling
00:55:04Welcome to Aulani everybody
00:55:05Right this way
00:55:08My family is my biggest support system
00:55:10Being able to like have that moment to be with them
00:55:12And do something fun
00:55:14Like the treasure hunt experience was really special to me
00:55:16Looks like me in the morning
00:55:17My mom and dad went on their honeymoon here
00:55:19They've always said that they were going to come back someday
00:55:22And for me to be the reason why they are
00:55:24You know it makes my heart happy
00:55:27Nice to meet you
00:55:29Being in the top 20 is surreal
00:55:32I've never really stood in front of a mic
00:55:35And performed in front of like a whole crowd
00:55:36But I'm really pushing myself this time
00:55:38To come out of my comfort zone
00:55:39Just knowing that America is going to be voting
00:55:42That's another thing that I have to think about
00:55:45Which is why I chose this round
00:55:46To not just be by the mic stand and move around
00:55:49Lost and insecure
00:55:52I'm singing
00:55:53You found me by the fray
00:55:54It's about being lost and insecure
00:55:56It's something that I connect to
00:55:58You found me
00:56:04When I was little
00:56:05Having a stutter made me introverted
00:56:08There's been times where I felt lost
00:56:10I was more of a shy kid and kind of anxious
00:56:13I've always said
00:56:13I don't know if it's just being in Hawaii
00:56:15It was a lot more gritty
00:56:17Than it has been in the past
00:56:18I don't think you're made or broken by
00:56:20Anything being exactly right
00:56:23Be a little imperfect in a good way
00:56:25Yeah
00:56:25American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life
00:56:29With each round
00:56:30I've gotten so much more confident in myself
00:56:33And it's like going to the
00:56:34Come on, Liv!
00:56:38I think have fun out there
00:56:39And you're going to nail this
00:56:40I think it's ironic that I'm singing a song
00:56:42About being lost and insecure
00:56:43In a moment where I feel like found
00:56:46And like the best I ever have
00:56:48Yeah, I'm proud of myself
00:56:58I found God
00:57:01On the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:04Where the West
00:57:08Was all but one
00:57:11Where were you
00:57:13When everything was falling apart
00:57:18All my days
00:57:21Were spent by a telephone
00:57:23That never rang
00:57:27And all I needed was a call
00:57:30That never came
00:57:33To the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:38Lost and Insecure
00:57:41You found me
00:57:44You found me
00:57:46Lying on the floor
00:57:48Surrounded
00:57:50Surrounded
00:57:52Why do you have to wait?
00:57:56You found me
00:57:57You found me
00:58:03Early morning
00:58:06The city breaks
00:58:10I've been calling
00:58:12For years and years
00:58:14And years and years
00:58:16You never left me
00:58:17No messages
00:58:18You never sent me
00:58:20No letters
00:58:21You got some kind of nerve
00:58:25Taking all I'm for
00:58:34Lost and in space
00:58:37You found me
00:58:39You found me
00:58:41You found me
00:58:41Lying on the floor
00:58:44Where were you
00:58:47You found me
00:58:54Why do you have to wait
00:59:00You found me
00:59:04You found me
00:59:23I think we can just go to the voting
00:59:25Right now
00:59:25After something like that
00:59:26The chanting
00:59:27Take a look at four judges
00:59:29On their feet
00:59:30Wow
00:59:31In the beginning
00:59:32Those first couple of notes
00:59:33I said
00:59:33Now what's going on?
00:59:34You know
00:59:34I wasn't sure
00:59:35Where we were headed
00:59:35But obviously
00:59:36We all feel a little nerves
00:59:38And you've been singing
00:59:39You've been rehearsing
00:59:39But I saw you find it
00:59:41As soon as you grabbed that mic
00:59:43And you came forward
00:59:44And you lost yourself in the song
00:59:46Everything after that
00:59:47Was perfection
00:59:48And you're closing in
00:59:50Very strong
00:59:50And that long note
00:59:53I'm just saying
00:59:54Why I got the mic in my hand
00:59:55Why you got the mic in your hand
00:59:56Appreciate it
00:59:57Thank you
00:59:57I for one
00:59:59Kind of love
01:00:00That the beginning
01:00:01Was a little shaky
01:00:02Because you've been
01:00:03So polished
01:00:05And perfect
01:00:07This whole time
01:00:07It kind of reminded us
01:00:09All that you're human
01:00:10And the way
01:00:11That you like
01:00:12Shook it off
01:00:12And sunk into the song
01:00:14I mean
01:00:15That's the most
01:00:16You know
01:00:16Movement
01:00:17We've seen from you
01:00:18And it was working
01:00:20It was wonderful
01:00:21And the end was just
01:00:25Absolutely soaring
01:00:26Thank you so much
01:00:27I found myself like
01:00:28Moving to the edge
01:00:30Of my seat
01:00:30I was like
01:00:31Alright Jesse
01:00:32Where you at baby
01:00:33Where you at
01:00:34There you are
01:00:34I can settle back down
01:00:36And I remember
01:00:37I used to get moments
01:00:39On stage
01:00:39And I look around
01:00:40And I'd be like
01:00:41Oh my god
01:00:42How did I get here
01:00:43Those emotions are fun
01:00:45To have to battle
01:00:46And battle back
01:00:47And that's what you did
01:00:48As the song kept building
01:00:49And the band
01:00:50You showed us stuff
01:00:52You haven't showed us
01:00:53With your voice
01:00:54That's right
01:00:54Thus far
01:00:55Thank you Luke
01:00:55I was praying the whole time
01:00:57Grab the mic
01:00:59Take it out of the stand
01:01:01Command the stage
01:01:02Take charge
01:01:04And you did it
01:01:06Thanks Lana
01:01:07I mean
01:01:08That's how you get
01:01:10The crowd
01:01:11To go right to you
01:01:13That was fantastic
01:01:14Thanks Lana
01:01:15Yeah
01:01:16And you sing now
01:01:17For your mom
01:01:17That's one of her favorite songs
01:01:19My mom loves the phrase
01:01:20She's right over there
01:01:20One of her favorite songs
01:01:22So I'm glad I got to sing that
01:01:23For her and for my family

01:01:56Jesse
01:01:57Jesse
01:01:58Jesse
01:01:59Jesse
01:01:59Jesse
01:02:06Welcome back to the ever magical Disney's Aulani Resort
01:02:10For our very first voting show of the season
01:02:12We're so excited to have Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer
01:02:14Teamed up to mentor the top 20
01:02:16Here's what unfolded with Missouri's Hannah Harper
01:02:21I think it'll be surreal to be up on the stage
01:02:24And see my kids
01:02:25All of it feels like a dream
01:02:26To be able to share this with them
01:02:28Everyone's so happy to be here
01:02:29They got their hair a whole bunch of different colors
01:02:32And it was all crazy and fun
01:02:33I love it
01:02:34They got tatted up
01:02:35Oh my gosh
01:02:36And had a meet and greet with Mickey
01:02:38It was a sweet experience
01:02:39I'm just soaking it all in
01:02:42Hey
01:02:43What's up
01:02:44What's up girl
01:02:45Ohana Ram was incredible
01:02:47It was really exciting
01:02:48But also terrifying
01:02:49I would have loved to see you throw your hands up there
01:02:51And just let it out
01:02:52Don't be
01:02:53I'm not used to not having my guitar in my hands
01:02:55Right
01:02:55Get in the habit of opening up
01:02:57This time I wanted to do the same thing from the last round
01:03:00And put the guitar down
01:03:01I'm having a hard time like getting out of my body
01:03:03And especially bluegrass
01:03:04You stand in one spot
01:03:05You do your thing and then you walk off the stage
01:03:06Yeah of course
01:03:07So you're kind of challenging yourself
01:03:08I love to hear that
01:03:09100%
01:03:09I'm scared y'all
01:03:10Don't be
01:03:11Don't be scared
01:03:12To be more comfortable in my body
01:03:13That's my goal for the next round
01:03:15Oh fear is a tyrant
01:03:17With a smooth and velvet tongue
01:03:20Your voice is everything I love about this style of music
01:03:24Instead of maybe thinking to yourself about
01:03:26I gotta move around the stage
01:03:28More so think about
01:03:28I gotta get the folks engaged
01:03:30Midway through mentoring
01:03:31My kids stepped in
01:03:33Getting to have that moment with my family
01:03:34Just to breathe for a second
01:03:35Calms all your anxiety
01:03:36You know
01:03:37Captives free
01:03:38There ain't no grave
01:03:41It was beautiful to just see
01:03:43How she came alive
01:03:44She grew up in a family band
01:03:46It makes sense why that opened her up a little bit more
01:03:48Could hold his body down
01:03:52She's definitely seasoned
01:03:53But I think she's feeling like
01:03:54How do I do what I do on a show like this?
01:03:58Look for your family in the audience
01:03:59Capture the feeling that you have
01:04:01When they're up there with you
01:04:02Look at them, I'll cry
01:04:03But ain't nothing wrong with crying
01:04:05The entire journey through all of this
01:04:07I'm having to just constantly peel layers off
01:04:10I hope that I'm showing my boys
01:04:11That no matter how old they are
01:04:13Be open to learning
01:04:14And to just be resilient
01:04:26Oh, fear is a tide
01:04:28With a smooth and velvet tongue
01:04:31Fear is alive
01:04:34He's always telling me to run
01:04:37Oh, love is a resurrection
01:04:40Love is a trumpet sound
01:04:43Love is my weapon
01:04:46I'm gonna take that giant down
01:04:51Oh, there was a battle
01:04:57A war between death and life
01:05:00And there on the tree
01:05:02The Lamb of God was crucified
01:05:05Then he went on down to hell
01:05:08Took back every key
01:05:11He rose up as a lion
01:05:14And he said, all captives free
01:05:17There ain't no way
01:05:21Hold his body down
01:05:26Hold his body down
01:05:27Oh, no, there ain't no brain
01:05:32Hold his body down
01:05:38Oh, when he heard that trumpet sound
01:05:43He rose up out of the ground
01:05:48He rose up out of the ground
01:05:49There ain't no brain
01:05:52He could hold his body down
01:05:56Yeah, hold him down
01:05:58There ain't no brain
01:06:04Hold his body down
01:06:23Hold his body down
01:06:31And then sometimes
01:06:32In the middle of that performance
01:06:34You went from singing
01:06:35To preaching
01:06:36Yes, sir
01:06:37I mean, what I'm saying to you
01:06:39Is at that point
01:06:40When you see everybody going
01:06:43Okay, that means we're listening
01:06:45And you got our attention
01:06:46You did a great job
01:06:47Thank you so much
01:06:48I appreciate it
01:06:49First of all
01:06:50Everybody performs different
01:06:51I think that's the big part
01:06:52Of this competition, right?
01:06:53Is like not doing
01:06:54What you think you should do
01:06:55Really embodying
01:06:57What you bring to the stage
01:06:58And that's what you did
01:07:00You don't have to do
01:07:00What nobody do
01:07:01Because when you start singing, girl
01:07:02And you was pointing
01:07:03You was commanding to us
01:07:04We were locked in
01:07:06It was excellent
01:07:07Thank you so much
01:07:08It was very moving
01:07:09Very moving
01:07:11I think you started
01:07:12A new genre
01:07:13Resurrection rock
01:07:15Okay
01:07:16I'm here for it
01:07:17I love the whole performance
01:07:18I think your voice
01:07:19Is so listenable
01:07:21It's so easy on the ears
01:07:23And then finally
01:07:24We see you get
01:07:26A little more power
01:07:27Behind that voice
01:07:27So you're showing me
01:07:29You're ready to branch out
01:07:30And grow
01:07:31Definitely my favorite
01:07:32Performance I've seen you do
01:07:33Wow
01:07:34Thank you
01:07:34I appreciate it
01:07:35Great song choice
01:07:38Your voice gave me chills
01:07:40The entire time
01:07:41We got a glimpse
01:07:42Of like a fire
01:07:44That is in you
01:07:45That I feel like
01:07:46The more you go through
01:07:48This whole process
01:07:50I hope to see more of
01:07:52You remind me a lot
01:07:54Of myself
01:07:55When I was on the show
01:07:57Wow
01:07:57When I would be on stage
01:07:59I'd be like
01:08:00I'd look out
01:08:00I'd be like
01:08:01What are you doing
01:08:02Out there hand
01:08:02Like what's going on
01:08:03Why are you pointing
01:08:05And all of a sudden
01:08:06It's like things
01:08:07Would kind of start
01:08:08Falling apart
01:08:08Because I would start
01:08:09Thinking about
01:08:09What I was doing
01:08:10Try not to
01:08:11Just tell the story
01:08:13And don't worry about
01:08:14What any of this is doing
01:08:15Because I feel like
01:08:16We got some glimpses
01:08:17Of that
01:08:17And it's awesome
01:08:19So keep at it
01:08:20Thank you so much

01:09:26Love on the brain
01:09:27This round
01:09:27By Rihanna
01:09:28My girlfriend suggested
01:09:30That I do this song
01:09:31And you got me like
01:09:34Oh
01:09:36What you want from me
01:09:41Braden, Braden, Braden
01:09:42Yeah man
01:09:43He blew me away
01:09:44I mean
01:09:45Baby you got me like
01:09:48Oh
01:09:50That's maybe my favorite
01:09:51Thing about this show
01:09:52Is the person
01:09:53That walks out
01:09:54And you just go
01:09:55Wait a minute
01:09:56No way
01:09:57That's happening
01:09:58I don't really know
01:09:59What to do on stage
01:09:59Like I'll move around
01:10:00And stuff
01:10:01But it's just kind of
01:10:02Stuff that I've seen
01:10:03On the internet
01:10:03You don't have to worry
01:10:04About
01:10:06Anything you're doing
01:10:08No
01:10:08You don't
01:10:09Just stay right there
01:10:10And do that
01:10:11Like just do that
01:10:14This is my first time
01:10:15In Hawaii
01:10:16And it's also
01:10:16My family's first time
01:10:18It's awesome
01:10:18My Ohana song
01:10:20Me and my brother
01:10:20Played together
01:10:21I mean he's right there
01:10:22With me through everything
01:10:23You know
01:10:23You're my ride or die
01:10:24Like safety net
01:10:26Because if I mess up
01:10:26Like you're right there
01:10:27Seeing you do
01:10:28What you've always
01:10:29Wanted to do
01:10:30Sharing that experience
01:10:32There's not a better film
01:10:33Now I think it's time
01:10:35For me to push myself
01:10:36And chase this dream
01:10:38On my own
01:10:38That smooth fire
01:10:40I want to make it
01:10:41As far in this competition
01:10:43As I can
01:10:44I'm going to try
01:10:45And win it
01:10:51And you got me like
01:10:54Oh

01:10:58What you want from me
01:11:00And I tried to buy
01:11:03Your pretty heart
01:11:04But the price was too high
01:11:06Baby you got me like
01:11:09Oh

01:11:15So you can put me together
01:11:19And throw me against the wall
