00:05:59I think my family thinks the same way, so hopefully I get to go even further.
00:06:04I haven't been told no yet, but I can't talk or I can't even breathe.
00:06:09The nerve stuff, you take that energy and you let it be a part of the performance.
00:06:13It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind.
00:06:15The jitters when you're getting up on that stage, I think the hardest part of the song is the first
00:06:20part.
00:06:21Yes!
00:06:21Like the second part's give it all you got, you know, and you do that.
00:06:24Let me hear that first verse.
00:06:29That's the note, Lonely.
00:06:31Those first few falsetterites are just the ones to not get tripped up on.
00:06:35Yes.
00:06:35Then everybody breathes easy.
00:06:37I think if Filman has those notes, in the beginning he's got a real chance of going on.
00:06:42Just a big stage.
00:06:44I just want to make sure my family's proud.
00:06:47It would just mean the world to keep going.
00:06:49I want to keep singing for everybody.
00:07:04Come on, sing it now.
00:07:06She took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:14Just a city more and more.
00:07:19I want to raise her side to true.
00:07:23It took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:30I see the waves walking from the moon.
00:07:35I smell a wild chip and feel a little fall out.
00:07:39For a smile that can share the night.
00:07:42It goes on and on and on and on and on.
00:07:47Strangers waiting.
00:07:52Up and down the boulevard.
00:07:54The shadows are shining in the night.
00:07:58Shadows, sun is shining in the night.
00:08:03Streetlight, blazing fire.
00:08:08Even just a heavy ocean.
00:08:13Somewhere in the night.
00:08:35¡Gracias!
00:09:05¡Gracias!
00:09:44¡Gracias!
00:09:46Thank you so much.
00:09:50Phyllis, I was very nervous for a second, but when I see you take that mic off that stand, you
00:09:56started walking, get a little swag to your step.
00:09:59The vocals were hitting every note they needed to hit.
00:10:02Excellent job.
00:10:02I'm so proud of you.
00:10:06I love that you made it your own.
00:10:09I mean, everybody knows this song.
00:10:11It's been done in like every karaoke setting on planet Earth.
00:10:15Pero tú tomas tu opinión y tu opinión, si hay una cosa que puedo decirte a ti más, es que
00:10:22relajarte.
00:10:23Tienes tu cerebro funcionando un poco, y no es una buena cosa, porque esto es un gran problema.
00:10:28Pero sí, intento de hacer tu cerebro. Sé que es difícil, pero sí.
00:10:32Gracias por suerte.
00:10:35Man, vocales, no tienes que preocupar con vocales.
00:10:39Y ahora, channel ese inner, like, tiger, ese warrior, you know.
00:10:44If you could just amp your performance energy up a little bit, man, you're going to surprise yourself.
00:10:54Relax a little bit. It is Alani, the Disney Resort and Spa.
00:10:57If you want to start relaxing right there.

00:11:22The party on the beach is just getting started.
00:11:24Much more music on the way.
00:11:26Ray, what's the heart to respect when Idol returns?
00:11:30Do not move, look right now.
00:11:33Keep the music.
00:11:35No, it's not good.
00:11:45Welcome back to the show.
00:11:47The journey of our finalists in this incredible stage has been an emotional one,
00:11:51especially for a Maryland native of the brave.
00:11:54Here's your time with Brad Paisley.
00:12:00Hi!
00:12:01Hi, my gosh.
00:12:02Kiki is my girl.
00:12:05I love her.
00:12:06Nice to meet you.
00:12:07I love her so much.
00:12:08Kiki is just unapologetically herself.
00:12:11And I just want to be just like that.
00:12:13I'm seeing respect by Aretha Franklin.
00:12:15R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:16So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:19I grew up on Aretha.
00:12:21My mom just always played Aretha everywhere.
00:12:23And she just told me, like, you're going to command the stage like her.
00:12:26You're going to command the stage.
00:12:28R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:30Find out what it means to me.
00:12:32Let's talk about what you're going to do on stage.
00:12:34R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:34I don't have any choreography.
00:12:36And I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:38I normally just kind of wing it, but, like, I don't know.
00:12:42All the other rounds have been super emotional, and I'm crying.
00:12:44So now I'm having fun.
00:12:47And I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:50It's just markers, like, by this point of the song, I'm going to go to the right.
00:12:54By this point of the song, I'm going to go to the left.
00:12:57All it would take is one of those notes this way or this way, and I think that audience
00:13:02would go crazy.
00:13:07Oh, God, yeah!
00:13:08God, yeah!
00:13:10It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:13Yeah, it's just the dynamics are so right.
00:13:15I love that you gave us an array of what your vocals could do in this song.
00:13:19Kiki loved my dynamics?
00:13:21Okay.
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:22Wow.
00:13:22Like, life made.
00:13:24I'm, like, already, I've been, like, crying.
00:13:26Like, being able to sing this in front of you is, like, oh, my God.
00:13:31Like, I'm going to be, like, I manifested this moment.
00:13:33Oh, my gosh.
00:13:36I'm so glad that I've been doing this for a long time.
00:13:39I'm just so glad we get to have this moment.
00:13:41The song means so much to me.
00:13:44Why I'm singing it means so much to me.
00:13:46And I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:13:49Oh, my God.
00:13:50Oh, my God.
00:14:07I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:14:23I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:14:53Come, clear, respect now.
00:14:58She beat me up.
00:15:01And I feel like I'm just greater.
00:15:02Oh, your kissing.
00:15:05More two than honey.
00:15:07Guess what?
00:15:09So is my Monday.

00:25:06I got to meet Goofy
00:25:07I always felt like a little kid when I saw him
00:25:09Oh my god
00:25:10How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:13I came in a little unsure
00:25:14But it landed me the platinum ticket
00:25:17The hopefuls voted for me
00:25:18And it was amazing
00:25:20I felt so honored
00:25:21I feel like the pressure is on
00:25:22Because I feel like a lot of people are looking at me
00:25:24To see, okay, how can he follow up?
00:25:26So what are you singing today?
00:25:27Today I'm singing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:29About You Too
00:25:30It's definitely outside of my genre
00:25:32I picked this song because it talks about
00:25:35I still haven't found what I'm looking for
00:25:36But honestly, as I'm continuing my journey in American Idol
00:25:40I've kind of finally found what I'm looking for
00:25:42I'm finding my passion
00:25:43I have run through the field
00:25:48I'm kind of known right now for the showstopper experience
00:25:51And I want to just show the judges that I can actually just stand here and sing to
00:25:54Just me
00:25:55And that's always a risk in itself
00:25:57Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed and acknowledged
00:26:00So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice
00:26:02You know what I'm saying?
00:26:03And that's like, definitely bold
00:26:05And it could be risky
00:26:06He's taking a risk, but I think it'll pay off
00:26:08You got to swing for that fence
00:26:10I mean, for me, it really says I'm out here without a net
00:26:14That's the energy that I'm looking for
00:26:16Okay?
00:26:17Can't wait to see how this goes
00:26:18I'm stepping out of my comfort for sure
00:26:20But my approach will be a little bit different than what America has seen
00:26:24And I hope that they will enjoy and love it too
00:26:32I have climbed the highest mountain
00:26:43I have run through the field
00:26:52Only to be with you
00:26:58Only to be with you
00:27:04I have seen
00:27:06I have run, I have crawled, I have crawled, I have scaled
00:27:32Have you found?
00:27:35Have you found?
00:27:36Have you found?
00:27:40Oh, what I'm looking for?
00:27:43Oh, what I'm looking for?
00:27:55Oh, what I'm looking for?
00:28:00Oh, what I'm looking for?
00:28:24¡Gracias!
00:29:11¡Gracias!
00:29:14¡Gracias!
00:29:15¡Gracias!
00:29:21¡Gracias!
00:29:26That emotion, a little overwhelming
00:29:28What were you feeling at the end?
00:29:30Yeah man, it's so ironic to sing a song
00:29:31about man, not finding what you're looking for
00:29:33I've done many things, I've tried many things
00:29:35but tonight, look at Letty and all of you guys
00:29:38I feel like I finally have found
00:29:40Yo creo que Jordan ha usado todas las notas que es posible en el negocio de la música.
00:29:55Primero de todo, Jordan, tomar una canción de U2 y convertirlo en espiritual.
00:30:02Eso es un beat.
00:30:05Y luego, en top de eso, convertir la canción de U2 en tu canción.
00:30:10Es la manera de ganar las competencias.
00:30:14Gracias.
00:30:15Gracias.
00:30:16Gracias.
00:30:18I love that Lionel used the word spiritual because I feel like I just had the most amazing moment listening
00:30:25to you.
00:30:26We're in this heavenly made place listening to your anointed voice.
00:30:32Yes.
00:30:33Like, praise the Lord for all of this.
00:30:36Yes.
00:30:37Because it was absolutely just mind-blowing.
00:30:40Yes.
00:30:40That was incredible, Jordan.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:42Thank you so much.
00:30:42You were so nice.
00:30:44You were so nice.
00:30:45You were so nice.
00:30:49Jordan, what I have to say is just to everyone because when we see a talent like you come up
00:30:53on the stage, I think the thought is, oh, they're safe.
00:30:56America, you still got to vote.
00:30:57You know that at the end of the day, no matter how great he is, we need you to come
00:31:00through and we need you to vote because you got to be in this competition.
00:31:03You are incredible.
00:31:04You are incredible.

00:31:06That's all I got to say.
00:31:09Thank you so much.
00:31:19Thank you so much.
00:31:20And to be able to navigate the notes and to be able to navigate the notes to take us on
00:31:24this journey, man, you're a powerhouse singer and you keep surprising me.
00:31:30You know, the Ohana rounds, when you came out and did what you did, I was like, who is this
00:31:34guy? Look at him.
00:31:35And that's what it takes to get through each round of this competition and win the thing.
00:31:40So great job.
00:31:41Thank you so much.
00:31:43So, Jordan is here.

00:56:33It's too late to apologize
00:56:44There he is! Nice work!
00:56:46So you wanted to create some intimate moments in that performance, right?
00:56:50Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:51So let me just tell you, the first verse,
00:56:55you were concentrating so hard you almost blew up.
00:56:59I'm telling you, you were just in every note.
00:57:02I'm thinking about it. I got to make it perfect.
00:57:04Second verse, you joined us.
00:57:08I mean, from that point on, you just kind of let go and delivered the goods.
00:57:13Enjoy that stage. You got the gift.
00:57:16Thank you.
00:57:18Thank you.
00:57:20Chris, you have a great voice, but you also have a great vibe.
00:57:24And the way that you transformed the song,
00:57:26it was like, okay, I'm getting the Chris version of this song.
00:57:28And I think for me, I want to hear more of you
00:57:30to really get into that vibe of what makes Chris Chris.
00:57:33And so to Lionel's point, I want to see you get more comfortable.
00:57:36I want to see you get relaxed.
00:57:37I want to come into your world because I know that there's a lot there.
00:57:40Thank you, Kiki.
00:57:41Great job.
00:57:42Is that what?
00:57:44I love your voice so much.
00:57:47Like, you just have this gorgeous, like, laid-back vibrato.
00:57:51It doesn't sound like anybody else.
00:57:54One little thing, and I don't mean this weird,
00:57:57but you've got this mysterious sexy vibe going.
00:58:00And I feel like you need to know that.
00:58:05Thank you.
00:58:06I thought I was the only one with a mysterious sexy vibe.
00:58:09Oh, no, no, no.
00:58:12I mean this as a compliment.
00:58:14It's just one of your kind of, like, superpowers.
00:58:17And if you own that, I feel like they will just eat it up.
00:58:21I agree.
00:58:21Sorry if that was you.
00:58:23Sorry.
00:58:24I love my husband.
00:58:29Man, I want to hear that power you got.
00:58:32I want you to partner that voice with that sexy stuff that Carrie's bringing up.
00:58:38Which, I mean, hey, you know, I see it, dog.
00:58:40I see it.
00:58:43I know what she's talking about.
00:58:45Am I rambling, Ryan?
00:58:46Am I rambling?
00:58:47Look, he's making you nervous.
00:58:48He's so cute.
00:58:49I understand that.
00:58:50But the main thing that's really important is I see you getting right up to the
00:58:55edge and just, man, just set yourself free and start singing.
00:59:00Let it go.
00:59:00There you go.
00:59:01Let it go.
00:59:02Jump off the deep end and go for it.

00:59:41Ryan Tedder.
00:59:42Hi.
00:59:43What's up, man?
00:59:44Nice to meet you.
00:59:46Good to meet you.
00:59:47Aloha.
00:59:48He just did a beautiful rendition of your song, bro.
00:59:51I can't wait to hear that.
00:59:53I was hearing a little bit of the warm up earlier.
00:59:54Ryan sent me a video.
00:59:56Oh, my word.
00:59:56Thank you so much.
00:59:57I appreciate you so much.
00:59:59I mean, this guy's a legend.
01:00:00Legend, right?
01:00:02Love you so much.
01:00:02Appreciate you.
01:00:03Peace.
01:00:04Mahalo.
01:00:06Awesome.
01:00:06Thanks, bro.
01:00:07See you later.
01:00:07Miss you, boy.
01:00:08That's freaking crazy.
01:00:11It's warm.
01:00:19Welcome back to American Idol from Alani at Disney Resort.
01:00:22It's fine.
01:00:23I'm Koli, now Hawaii.
01:00:24You and of our insanely talented finalists are light on the stage for four votes tonight.
01:00:28And earlier this week, they also had the pleasure of kicking back to enjoy some of their own Alani time.
01:00:34Right?
01:00:35What's this?
01:00:37I always dreamed that my voice would bring me to places like this.
01:00:41And it happened.
01:00:45Being here in Hawaii has been so different from being back home.
01:00:48Just to see this part of the world, it is different.
01:00:51No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing.
01:00:56This is the whole way I'm able to verse on what happens.
01:01:02We're best buds now.
01:01:03It's just been so fun.
01:01:05The memories that we're making, it's just all unforgettable.
01:01:07It's really a beautiful trip.
01:01:14Okay, I just saw Ruby Ray cruising on the catamaran.
01:01:17Here she is now, coming face-to-face with Brad Paisley and Kiki.
01:01:23Wow.
01:01:27Being here has been great.
01:01:28I mean, I think I've definitely had some time to relax and soak up the sun.
01:01:32And I've gotten to do some really cool things around the resort with my family.
01:01:36Mickey waffles are like my favorite things ever.
01:01:38Cheers.
01:01:40There's characters everywhere.
01:01:42We saw Goofy and then Chip and Dale.
01:01:44It feels absolutely insane to make top 20.
01:01:46I'm just like really excited and proud to be here.
01:01:49Hey.
01:01:50Hi.
01:01:50What about you, Frank?
01:01:51For the beach round, I'm going to be singing Drag Me Down by One Direction.
01:01:54What is this song?
01:01:55Um, I chose this song as kind of a thank you to my three older brothers because they were
01:02:00my biggest supporters when I was dealing with some mean girls back in middle school.
01:02:05Uh-oh.
01:02:05I decided when I was 11 that it would be a fun idea to shave my head.
01:02:09So, I had a buzz cut.
01:02:11I have some photos.
01:02:12Please show it was.
01:02:13That's...
01:02:14Wow.
01:02:14I end up, like, losing a lot of my friends because of it.
01:02:17Because of that?
01:02:18Yes.
01:02:19My brothers, they had my back.
01:02:20And so this is like a thank you.
01:02:21Nobody can drag me down with their love.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:24I love that.
01:02:26All my life, you stood by me.
01:02:29It's an amazing thing that one of the most formative events of her life was the bullying
01:02:34for a really trivial thing.
01:02:36I think that's actually going to serve her.
01:02:38Use that experience to really grab this audience.
01:02:41It's certainly a song that embodies the hope and the struggle, and that's great.
01:02:46Thank you.
01:02:47Use that.
01:02:47This song does come from kind of a sad place, but I want to just stand strong and still,
01:02:52like, give a fun performance to watch.
01:03:02I got five old hearts.
01:03:05I'm not scared of the dark.
01:03:07You never seen them so easy.
01:03:09I got a river for a soul.
01:03:12And baby, you're a boat.
01:03:14Baby, you're my only breeze.
01:03:16If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left.
01:03:19The shell of a man could never be his death.
01:03:23If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun.
01:03:26You taught me how to be someone.
01:03:29All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:37All these nights, they can't find me with your love.
01:03:42Nobody can drag me.
01:03:44All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:50All these nights, they can't find me with your love.
01:03:56Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:00Nobody, nobody.
01:04:02Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:07Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:08Nobody, nobody.
01:04:10Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:12Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:12Nobody can drag me all my life.
01:04:14You stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:19All these nights, they can't find me with your love.
01:04:24Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:31Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:36Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:43You stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:53¡Nobody can dress me down!
01:05:23¡Nobody can dress me down!
01:05:24You know, got a little sass in there.
01:05:27So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself and show it, bring it.
01:05:30Alright, let's go.
01:05:31So I thought for a moment when she started, I said she's going to run out of air
01:05:36because she's moving, I can hear her breathing,
01:05:39and then she hit that note and held it all evening.
01:05:42I know you were thinking, you were overthinking, don't do it, you've got the goods.
01:05:46That was amazing that you kind of pulled that one out, I'm telling you.
01:05:50Yeah, thank you.
01:05:50You're 16, right?
01:05:52Yeah.
01:05:52Yeah.
01:05:52That's disgusting.
01:05:54That's just disgusting.
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:56First of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that.
01:05:58The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able to take your time with
01:06:02it
01:06:02and, you know, let the band catch up to you instead of you being a little bit in front of
01:06:06them.
01:06:06But these are small things that'll go towards you in this competition just to make your performance better.
01:06:11And incredible job.
01:06:13Thank you so much.
01:06:14Yeah.
01:06:15Yeah.
01:06:17Yeah, it's hard to get out of like a 16-year-old mentality, but you do have a great voice.
01:06:22It was really like a 16-year-old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you, which
01:06:27is, what is it, Lionel?
01:06:29It's disgusting.
01:06:30Just disgusting.
01:06:31What you need to work on is like, you know, get in that mentality of like, I'm going to get
01:06:36out here and like almost create a little alter ego where you got a little more angst in there.
01:06:41But I love your voice and we know you've got all the goods in there.
01:06:46So thank you.
01:06:46Thank you so much.
01:06:48Thank you so much.
01:06:48Some good feedback every time you're up on the stage.
01:06:50We get better and better at all of that.
01:06:52Lots of things about some good stuff there.

01:07:03Goofy Ray, thank you very much
01:07:05Thank you guys, you're amazing, thank you
01:07:09Now we've got more showstopping
01:07:11Beachside performances heading your way
01:07:14Like Julián Calau
01:07:16This is Zach Bryant
01:07:17Idol's back right after this
01:07:45I was here two summers ago
01:07:47My family and I were big Hawaii fans
01:07:50We're also big Disney fans
01:07:51And my favorite character is Stitch
01:07:53I just think he's a little troublemaker
01:07:58I love his voice
01:07:59Ohana means family
01:08:01Family means nobody gets left to have
01:08:04So be back here at Disney's Alani Resort
01:08:06Feels like a blessing
01:08:07There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii
01:08:10Thank you
01:08:12Hi, how are you again?
01:08:15For this round I'm choosing a song called
01:08:16Tourniquet by Zach Bryant
01:08:17It means a lot to me
01:08:24So why is that?
01:08:25Tourniquet to me means
01:08:26Picking someone else up
01:08:28When they're hurting and always telling someone
01:08:30I have your back
01:08:31Well if you need a tourniquet
01:08:33Or if you want to turn and give you know that I'll be by your side
01:08:36What always heals my heart is thinking about the people that I have in my life
01:08:41And what motivates me even more is hoping that whoever's listening gets that feeling that I understand, I see you
01:08:48It felt very authentic and so I think you're getting a real sense of who he is as an artist
01:08:53You know that's magic being this close
01:08:56Thank you so much
01:08:58You know it's really captivating
01:08:59Your prowess on the guitar shows
01:09:01Your voice is perfect
01:09:03Thank you so much
01:09:04You're suited for that song
01:09:05Sometimes when you're in a competition it's like you're thinking about what's gonna do my voice the best
01:09:09But if you just sing what's true to you
01:09:10Yeah
01:09:11It's somehow it's most perfect
01:09:12Music can feel like a hug
01:09:14Music can feel like a hand on your back
01:09:16That tells you you're not alone
01:09:17And that's what I'm trying to replicate with my performance
01:09:38There's a lace on the plains out of Eastern Montana where you told me you were
01:09:44You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body
01:09:48Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:09:51Well if you need a tourniquet or if you want a tourniquet
01:09:54Know that I'll be by your side
01:09:57Pledge your whole soul and the things you can't control
01:10:00And the world will never satisfy
01:10:04But I'll bandage up your body, your bones and your bad days too
01:10:10Take care of the blood your love runs through
01:10:16I know all the memories of days in this dark world
01:10:21But you have been last seen something I dreamed of
01:10:27Come on
01:10:28Come on
01:10:29Come on
01:10:32Come on

01:10:42Manage up your body, your bones and your bad days too
01:10:48Take care of the blood your love runs through
01:10:52Oh, and I know all the damage some days in this dark world
01:10:59But you have been last seen something I dreamed of
01:11:06Dreamed of
01:11:09There's a lace on the plains out of Eastern Montana where you told me you were
01:11:14Bleeding from
01:11:15You can stab in the back and the rest of your body
01:11:19Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:11:22Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:11:25Come on
01:11:28Come on
01:11:29Come on
01:11:29Come on
01:11:30Yeah man
01:11:35Come on
01:11:36Just listen to that
01:11:40Thank you
01:11:41Thank you
01:11:41What you connected in that song?
01:11:43What'd I say?
01:11:44Well, to me I wanted to
01:11:46Whenever I listen to a song like this
01:11:47I think of unconditional love
01:11:49Whether it be for a friend
01:11:50For someone you love
01:11:52And it just means that you're never gonna leave their side
01:11:54Their worst days and their best days
01:11:57I wanted it to feel like a hand on your back
01:12:00A hand, you know, that you can hold
01:12:02A hug
01:12:02Just, you know, letting you know that you're never alone
01:12:05No matter how down you are
01:12:09I love you, that's all I'm gonna say
01:12:11I love you
01:12:14I haven't been a part of the journey like these guys
01:12:16But I agree
01:12:18I mean, I feel like I've been watching you in the light of this
01:12:20I can tell how much it means to you
01:12:21And that it's so true to you
01:12:23Your voice
01:12:23Is beautiful
01:12:25I mean, I can listen to you go on and on and on, you know
01:12:27And then when you look up
01:12:28You're talking about
01:12:29Tourniquet
01:12:29This is a deep and intense song
01:12:31But you're delivering that hope
01:12:33When you look up during the performance
01:12:34And you flash us that smile
01:12:36It does feel hopeful
01:12:37It's beautiful
01:12:38I loved it, great job
01:12:39Thank you so much
01:12:41Does that work?
01:12:42You are such an artist
01:12:44You're such a poet
01:12:45And you're so believable
01:12:46When you start singing and playing
01:12:49Like it's just so honest
01:12:51And it's so you
01:12:52And it's a joy to get to listen to you
01:12:55Like this is the best job in the world

01:14:50CC's Amani Resort.
01:14:52We have one final performance for you here on our beachside stage.
01:14:56It's time for our school teacher, Keela Richardson.
01:14:59Here you go.
01:15:05My son, he loves you so much.
01:15:07What's your son's name?
01:15:08Drew.
01:15:09It's been fun having Drew here.
01:15:11He has been by my side every step of the way.
01:15:14Unfortunately, my son couldn't be here for this performance because he had to go back to school.
01:15:18Maybe on my next voyage I can meet him.
01:15:20Okay, yes.
01:15:20For sure.
01:15:23How you doing?
01:15:25He's a fan.
01:15:26I'm a big fan of Keke.
01:15:27But to see myself in front of her, I was like, well, I made it.
01:15:30I love that.
01:15:32Keela, I'm so excited.
01:15:32What are you going to be singing?
01:15:33With a little help, my friend.
01:15:34All right.
01:15:35What drew you to this song?
01:15:38There was a time when I didn't feel like I was good enough.
01:15:40You know, I didn't know where I was going.
01:15:41I was confused.
01:15:42God had to place friends around me.
01:15:44I had to really help me.
01:15:45They were destiny helpers to me.
01:15:46Helped me to my purpose.
01:15:47And they pushed me.
01:15:48What would you do if I sang?
01:15:52Hearing her sing, I didn't know what to expect.
01:15:55And when her voice came out, it was just awesome.
01:15:59It felt so truthful.
01:16:04She seemed like, oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:08Yeah.
01:16:11If I would have a little help from my friend.
01:16:20That was a lot.
01:16:22Oh, no.
01:16:23Oh, no.
01:16:24That's first.
01:16:28Such a special voice.
01:16:31Such a special voice.
01:16:43That voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:46What you're doing is more than just saying you're embodying spirit and song.
01:16:51That's beautiful.
01:16:52Seriously.
01:16:53It blew my mind when I sang for the mentors.
01:16:56I'm humble and I'm grateful because that just lets me know that no matter what I say, somebody's
01:17:01going to feel it and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:15What would you do if I sang?
01:17:19You got a tune?
01:17:21Would you stand up and walk out on me?
01:17:25Lind me your ear?
01:17:27Oh, when I sang you a song.
01:17:30And I would try not to sing it out again.
01:17:34Oh, yeah.
01:17:35Goodbye.
01:17:36Goodbye.
01:17:37Goodbye, Chris.
01:17:40Goodbye, goodbye.
01:17:42Goodbye, friends.
01:17:44Is it all right?
01:17:45Goodbye.
