00:00:12Tonight, 10 more of your Ida Hope will sing for your votes from Alani, a Disney resorting spot in Koalina,
00:00:19Hawaii.
00:00:22We're jumping right into the music with a Grammy-nominated artist who's carrying on his family legacy,
00:00:28performing his newly released rendition of the Bob Marley classic, One Love, of his forthcoming album.
00:00:35Give it up for Skip Marley!
00:00:38Skip!
00:00:44Aloha!
00:00:45One love, one heart, let's join together and feel alright.
00:00:56Come on!
00:00:56One love, one heart.
00:01:01Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright.
00:01:07Let's join together and feel alright.
00:01:14Let them all pass on their dirty remarks.
00:01:18One love!
00:01:19Now there is one question I'd really love to ask.
00:01:24One heart.
00:01:25Now is there a place for them, hopeless sinners, who have hurt all mankind, just to save their own?
00:01:35Believe me, one love, one love, one heart, let's join together and feel alright.
00:01:46Do you hear the children's cry?
00:01:48Do you hear the children's cry?
00:01:49One love!
00:01:50Hear the children's cry?
00:01:51One heart!
00:01:52We give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright.
00:01:57Again!
00:01:58So let's join together and feel alright.
00:02:05Again!
00:02:11So let's join together and feel alright.
00:02:27One love!
00:02:29One love!
00:02:30One love!
00:02:30Sing out!
00:02:31One heart!
00:02:33Let's join together and feel alright.
00:02:38We're pleading to mankind.
00:02:40One love!
00:02:42One love!
00:02:42Lord have mercy!
00:02:43One love!
00:02:44One love!
00:02:44We give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright.
00:02:50Well let's join together and feel alright.

00:04:44This week, they have the awesome experience of being mentored by country music legend, Brad Paisley
00:04:51And singer and award-winning actress, Kiki Palmer
00:04:55All right, girl
00:04:55Here's how it went down, is the Grange Georges, film and leave
00:05:01Whoa
00:05:02We're in Hawaii, it's like something out of a movie
00:05:05Four
00:05:06I love golfing, I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world
00:05:09But I just love going out there and strifling down the middle
00:05:13Back at home, we definitely got some golf courses, but this place is amazing
00:05:18Let's go
00:05:18So, it's awesome to be here
00:05:21Hey, nice to meet you, Billy
00:05:23This was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad
00:05:24They were super cool
00:05:26I'm excited to hear what you're going to be singing
00:05:28I know you're very soulful
00:05:29So what's the song choice today?
00:05:31It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey
00:05:33Fabulous
00:05:33That's cool
00:05:34Just a small town, girl
00:05:36My journey so far, each round, I've gotten more nervous than nervous because I'm chasing my dreams
00:05:41My knees are shaking, dude
00:05:43How you holding up?
00:05:44I'm a little nervous
00:05:45But I'm not too confident
00:05:46What would you say is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:48Just trying to be perfect
00:05:49I'm a huge critic on myself, so
00:05:51I can relate
00:05:52Man, I'm in the top 20 of American Idol
00:05:54From LaGrange, Georgia, a small town
00:05:56It's just amazing
00:05:57I think my family thinks the same way
00:05:59Aw, damn
00:06:04I think my family thinks the same way
00:06:06So hopefully I get to go even further
00:06:09I haven't been told no yet, but
00:06:12I can't talk right
00:06:13I can't even breathe
00:06:14The nerve stuff
00:06:15You take that energy
00:06:16And you let it be a part of the performance
00:06:18It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind
00:06:20The jitters when you're getting up on that stage
00:06:22I think the hardest part of the song
00:06:24Is the first part
00:06:25Yes
00:06:26Like the second part's give it all you got
00:06:28You know, and you do that
00:06:29Let me hear that first verse again
00:06:31Living in a lonely world
00:06:34That's the note, lonely
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes
00:06:37Are just the ones to not get tripped up on
00:06:40Yes
00:06:40Because then everybody breathes easy
00:06:42I think if Philman hits those notes
00:06:44In the beginning
00:06:45He's got a real chance of going on
00:06:47It's just a big stage
00:06:49I just want to make sure my family's proud
00:06:52It would just mean the world to keep going
00:06:54I want to keep singing for everybody
00:07:06Come on, sing it now
00:07:11She took the midnight train
00:07:13Going anywhere
00:07:19Just a city boy
00:07:23Want to raise your side to turn
00:07:28He took the midnight train
00:07:31Going anywhere
00:07:36A single in a smoking room
00:07:39I smell a wild gym fuel
00:07:43Come on now
00:07:44For a smile that can share the night
00:07:47Goes on and on and on and on
00:07:53Stranger waiting
00:07:56Up and down the boulevard
00:08:01Shadows searching in the night
00:08:08Streetlights
00:08:09People
00:08:11Living just to find the emotion
00:08:16Hiding
00:08:17Somewhere in the night
00:08:23Hold inside
00:08:26Believing
00:08:27Hold on to that feeling
00:08:31Streetlights
00:08:34People
00:08:40Don't stop
00:08:42Believing
00:08:44Hold on to that feeling
00:08:48Streetlights
00:08:50People
00:08:56Don't stop
00:08:58Living
00:09:02Hold on to that feeling
00:09:11There you go
00:09:14Kicking off the show
00:09:15Way to go buddy
00:09:17How did it feel to kick everything off tonight?
00:09:19I'm glad I got it out of the way
00:09:20Now I can enjoy the rest of the day
00:09:23By the way
00:09:23Your hair does not move
00:09:25It does not move
00:09:26That entire performance
00:09:27My mama have to give you the secret
00:09:29Some type of hairspray
00:09:30The thing just does not move
00:09:33I'm available one minute
00:09:34After the show is over
00:09:35For that tip
00:09:36Let's go to the judges
00:09:37Alright so
00:09:38At the beginning
00:09:39I said
00:09:40Please don't let this song
00:09:42Intimidate you
00:09:43You stepped up
00:09:45The first time
00:09:46I was a little scared for you
00:09:47And then you leaned
00:09:48Into it
00:09:50You did a great job
00:09:51Thank you so much
00:09:55I was very nervous for a second
00:09:57But when I seen you
00:09:59Take that mic off that stand
00:10:00You started walking
00:10:01Getting a little swag to your step

00:10:16It's been done in like every karaoke setting
00:10:18On planet Earth
00:10:20So true
00:10:21But you took it
00:10:22And you put your own spin on it
00:10:23If there's one thing
00:10:25That I could tell you to do
00:10:26A little bit more
00:10:27Is just relax
00:10:28I kind of felt your brain
00:10:29Working a little bit
00:10:30And that's not a bad thing
00:10:31Because you know
00:10:32This is a big deal
00:10:33But just get into it

00:11:52The journey for our finalists
00:11:53To this incredible stage
00:11:54Has been an emotional one
00:11:56Especially for a Maryland
00:11:57Native Ray
00:11:58Here's her time
00:11:59With Brad Pacey
00:12:00Kiki Palmer
00:12:05Hi
00:12:05Hi Marie
00:12:06Hi Marie
00:12:08Kiki is my girl
00:12:10I love her
00:12:11Nice to meet you
00:12:12I love you so much
00:12:13Kiki is just unapologetically
00:12:15Herself
00:12:16And I just want to be
00:12:17Just like that
00:12:18I'm singing Respect
00:12:19By Aretha Franklin
00:12:20R-E-S-B-E-C-T
00:12:21So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:24I grew up on Aretha
00:12:25My mom just always played Aretha everywhere
00:12:28And she just told me
00:12:29Like you're going to command the stage like her
00:12:31You're going to command the stage
00:12:33R-E-S-B-E-C-T
00:12:35Find out what it means to me
00:12:37So let's talk about
00:12:38What you're going to do on stage
00:12:39I don't have any choreography
00:12:40And I do want to have like something in mind
00:12:43I normally just kind of wing it
00:12:44But like I don't know
00:12:46All the other rounds have been super emotional
00:12:48And I'm crying
00:12:49So now I'm having fun
00:12:52And I think that's what I'm excited for
00:12:54It's just markers
00:12:56Like by this point of the song
00:12:57I'm going to go to the right
00:12:59By this point of the song
00:13:00I'm going to go to the left
00:13:01All it would take is one of those notes
00:13:03This way or this way
00:13:05And I think that audience will go crazy
00:13:15It seemed like you had such ease with it
00:13:17Yeah, it's just the dynamics are so right
00:13:20I love that you gave us an array
00:13:22Of what your vocals could do in this song
00:13:24Kiki loved my dynamics?
00:13:25Okay, yeah
00:13:26Wow
00:13:27Like life made
00:13:28I'm like already
00:13:30I've been like crying
00:13:32Being able to sing this in front of you is like
00:13:35Oh my god
00:13:35Like I feel like I manifested this moment
00:13:38Oh my gosh
00:13:41I'm so glad that I get to see you perform
00:13:44I'm just so glad we get to have this moment
00:13:46The song means so much to me
00:13:48Why I'm singing it means so much to me
00:13:50And I feel like this is just a dream come true
00:13:58What you want
00:14:00Baby, I got it
00:14:04What you need
00:14:06Do you know
00:14:08Do you know I got it
00:14:10Oh
00:14:13Let me ask you
00:14:15It's fun
00:14:20Well, a little respect
00:14:22I said a little respect
00:14:26A little bit
00:14:36Cause I don't want to
00:14:38Cause I don't want to
00:14:39All I'm asking
00:14:40Is for a little respect
00:14:43When you're going home
00:14:43Baby, baby

00:15:11And guess what?

00:15:16And all I want you to do for me is to give it to me when I give it
00:15:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:15:30Find out what it means to me
00:15:33R-E-S-B-E-C-T

00:15:41Aretha Ray
00:15:56Aretha Ray
00:15:58Well, all right
00:16:01Some Aretha there
00:16:02She's a blueprint artist for you, huh?
00:16:05Oh, yeah, she is
00:16:08Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm
00:16:10Because you just set the whole show on fire
00:16:13Girl, I'm not playing
00:16:16You were singing down
00:16:17I even heard a little talking personality throughout
00:16:19When you hit that move at the end
00:16:21I mean, it was just
00:16:22The performance was fabulous from top to bottom
00:16:24You gave us stage presents
00:16:25You gave us the outfit
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J. Blige
00:16:28Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
00:16:31I just live, Mama
00:16:34So we've known you for a bit
00:16:36And we've been in these, like, much more subdued situations
00:16:40I feel like this was the missing ingredient
00:16:43We always knew you could sing
00:16:45But you can entertain
00:16:47Like, you were having fun with it
00:16:50There, there, there
00:16:51You completely made it your own
00:16:53You weren't trying to copy anybody
00:16:55There you go
00:16:55You did you
00:16:56You rearranged the song
00:16:58They had fun
00:16:59You had fun
00:16:59We had fun
00:17:00That was amazing
00:17:02Thank you so much
00:17:03That was good
00:17:06Whoa, that was a week of rain, y'all
00:17:08I mean, I'm just sorry
00:17:09I don't know what vitamin pill you took
00:17:13But this is when you have to surprise us
00:17:15You pulled it out and gave it to us
00:17:17That was amazing
00:17:18I love it
00:17:19Thank you so much
00:17:21You got my respect
00:17:24And you're one of our best singers
00:17:27If not the best singer
00:17:28And a way to come out and work the crowd
00:17:32That didn't get lost on you
00:17:36Well, look at me dropping nuggets
00:17:39Of wisdom, I think
00:17:41Anyway, I just loved the whole performance
00:17:43It was comfortable
00:17:44You were entertaining
00:17:45Make sure you get America voting for you

00:18:38Thank you

00:18:58Now, let's check out Lucas Leon's mentor moment with Brad and Kiki
00:19:04I'm very excited to be able to share this experience with my parents
00:19:08Vacation to Hawaii and come around every so often
00:19:11For them to be able to see all my hard work kind of pay off
00:19:14It feels great
00:19:14I'm from Gallatin, Tennessee
00:19:17And hometown support has been awesome
00:19:20You perform all around town
00:19:21How does that happen with you being in high school?
00:19:23Oh, it's just fun
00:19:25Teachers and students and my buddies
00:19:27And they all come out to shows and all of that
00:19:29Oh my gosh
00:19:29And I do play one of your songs at almost every gig
00:19:33Oh, really?
00:19:34I'm a massive Brad Payson fan
00:19:37I'm gonna miss her
00:19:40I play the farmer's market a lot in Nashville
00:19:42Yeah, yeah
00:19:42It gets the tips
00:19:44I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing
00:19:46And his singing, his songwriting, his stage presence, everything about him
00:19:50I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months
00:19:53Maybe you can come to that
00:19:54And then we can walk around backstage
00:19:55That would be awesome
00:19:56Thank you so much
00:19:57So what song are you doing today?
00:19:59I'm gonna be doing Just to See You Smile
00:20:00It's one of my favorite songs ever written
00:20:03Just to see you smile
00:20:07I'd do anything
00:20:08You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song
00:20:11And then acknowledge there's an audience
00:20:14I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me
00:20:16But I was loving the eye
00:20:18So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing
00:20:22It doesn't sound like Tim
00:20:23And it shouldn't
00:20:24It sounds like you
00:20:25And that's hard to do
00:20:27Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this
00:20:30It really is
00:20:30Absolutely
00:20:31You know, they say I don't meet your heroes
00:20:32But I'm really glad I met Brad
00:20:34So hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage
00:20:42You always had enough things to glitter
00:20:48And I was far from being made of gold
00:20:52I don't know how but I scrimped up the money
00:20:57Oh, I just never could quite tell you no
00:21:02But just like when you were leaving Emory, Lord
00:21:07And taking that new job in Tennessee
00:21:13And I quit mine so we could be together
00:21:17And I can't forget the way you looked at me
00:21:21But just to see you smile
00:21:26But just to see you smile
00:21:27I'd do anything
00:21:28That you wanted me to
00:21:33And all is said and done
00:21:36I'd never count a cause
00:21:39It's one thought that's lost
00:21:42But just to see you smile
00:21:48Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted
00:21:53When you came walking up to me with him
00:21:58And I told you that I was happy for you
00:22:03And given the chance I'd like it
00:22:08Just to see you smile
00:22:12I'd do anything
00:22:14That you wanted me to
00:22:18And all is said and done
00:22:22I'd never count a cause
00:22:25Which one thought that's lost
00:22:29Just to see you smile
00:22:34Just to see you smile
00:22:35Just to see you smile
00:22:53You know you made that so comfortable
00:22:56Yes
00:22:57I almost forgot that you were a contestant
00:23:00That's what you want
00:23:01You want comfort
00:23:02You want people to understand
00:23:04That this is what you do naturally
00:23:07And what you just performed there
00:23:08Was about as natural as you were ever going to get
00:23:10It was fantastic
00:23:11Thank you
00:23:12Thank you
00:23:14I agree with everything that Lionel said
00:23:16Because you literally transported us into your world
00:23:18I felt like I was at a beach club
00:23:20I was at a festival
00:23:21You know I haven't been in love in ages
00:23:23I'm single as a Pringle
00:23:25And I felt romantic
00:23:27Because you set the tone
00:23:28You were making me smile
00:23:30I mean I just loved it
00:23:31You are very much you
00:23:32And you did a fabulous job
00:23:33Thank you so much
00:23:35Single as a Pringle
00:23:37Your voice is so
00:23:39It is powerful
00:23:40It is beautiful
00:23:41And there is something really special about the simplicity
00:23:44You don't try to over sing
00:23:46There you go
00:23:47You're like laid back in the pocket
00:23:48There you go
00:23:49And it's just so easy to listen to you
00:23:51And to watch you
00:23:52Thank you so much
00:23:53I loved it
00:23:54Yeah
00:23:55Luke Bryan
00:23:57Yeah just keep delivering
00:23:59Keep making us feel comfortable
00:24:01But also keep adding the pressure and intensity
00:24:04There you go
00:24:05And pick songs that really pull you outside of your comfort zone
00:24:08But you just keep knocking every performance out of the parts
00:24:11Thank you so much
00:24:12Thank you
00:24:14Luke predicted you would make your hometown's Wikipedia page at some point, right?
00:24:20Maybe old Lucas Leon
00:24:22Maybe
00:24:23He's got a spot here on the Wikipedia
00:24:24So I was just backstage doing my research

00:24:52Next worship director
00:24:54Jordan McCullough
00:24:55Takes on a U2 crowd pleaser
00:24:57Here's how he impressed
00:24:58Brad
00:25:02How you liking Hawaii?
00:25:04Girl I'm trying to figure out how I can stay a little long
00:25:05Yes
00:25:06Cause my goodness
00:25:07The sun is nice
00:25:08The water is nice
00:25:09Goofy
00:25:10I got to meet Goofy
00:25:12I honestly felt like a little kid when I saw him
00:25:14Oh my god
00:25:15How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:18I came in a little unsure
00:25:19Jordan
00:25:20But it landed me the platinum ticket
00:25:22The hopefuls voted for me and it was amazing
00:25:24I felt so honored
00:25:26I feel like the pressure is on because I feel like a lot of people are looking at me to
00:25:29see
00:25:29Okay, how can he follow up?
00:25:31So what are you singing today?
00:25:32Today I'm singing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:34By U2
00:25:35It's definitely outside of my genre
00:25:37I picked this song because it talks about I still haven't found what I'm looking for
00:25:41But honestly as I'm continuing my journey in American Idol
00:25:44I've kind of finally found what I'm looking for
00:25:47I'm finding my passion
00:25:48I have run through the field
00:25:53I'm kind of known right now for the showstopper experience
00:25:56And I want to just show the judges that I can actually just stand here and sing too
00:25:59Just me
00:26:00And that's always a risk in itself
00:26:02Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed and acknowledged
00:26:05So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:08That's like definitely bold and it could be risky
00:26:11He's taking a risk, but I think it'll pay off
00:26:13You gotta swing for that fence
00:26:15I mean for me, it really says I'm out here without a net
00:26:18That's the energy that I'm looking for, okay?
00:26:22I can't wait to see how this goes
00:26:23I'm stepping out of my comfort for sure
00:26:25But my approach will be a little bit different than what America has seen
00:26:29And I hope that they will enjoy it and love it too
00:26:38I have climbed the highest mountain
00:26:49I have run through the fields
00:26:56Only to be with you
00:27:03Only to be with you
00:27:09I have run, I have crawled
00:27:16I have scaled these city walls
00:27:28Only to be with you
00:27:32Only to be with you
00:27:34But I still have it found
00:27:44Oh, what I'm looking for
00:27:54I believe in the kingdom come
00:27:59When all the colors
00:28:01Bleed into one
00:28:04Bleed into one
00:28:07But it's still running
00:28:11You broke the bar
00:28:16You lose the chains
00:28:19Can't read the cross
00:28:21Of my shame
00:28:23Oh, of my shame
00:28:27You know I believe that
00:28:31Yeah, but I still have it now
00:28:38What I'm looking for
00:28:42But I still have it found
00:28:47Oh, what I'm looking for
00:28:52But I still have it found
00:29:06What I'm looking for

00:34:00Nice to meet you.
00:34:02So thrilled to meet you.
00:34:04So what are you singing today?
00:34:05I'm singing Mama Knows Best by Jessie J.
00:34:07Okay.
00:34:08I'm dedicating this song to my mother.
00:34:10My mom has always been there for me.
00:34:12She's the reason I started performing.
00:34:14She's a rapper.
00:34:18She's a teacher and getting her bachelor's degree.
00:34:21All while being a mother, a single mother.
00:34:23It's insane to me.
00:34:24I want her to just feel like everything she's put into me is finally pouring out.
00:34:29I love you and you got this.
00:34:33I'm so excited that I'm going to get to see you do your thing.
00:34:36Mama knows best when times get hard.
00:34:40You and I were talented at 16, but I was failing my third driver's test by now.
00:34:45Her focus is really there.
00:34:49See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:34:51See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:34:53On those Mama Knows Best and we hear that boom, boom, I want to see a step forward.
00:34:58You know, really leaning into the audience on those moments because it's kind of like a direct kind of...
00:35:01You confronting them.
00:35:02Yes.
00:35:03See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:35:06See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:35:08So you're dedicating this to your mom.
00:35:10Is she here?
00:35:10Yes, she is here.
00:35:12Really?
00:35:12Oh, I think I see her.
00:35:14Oh, she's here.
00:35:14Oh, my gosh.
00:35:16Oh, my gosh.
00:35:17Oh, you look beautiful.
00:35:18This woman was wonderful, for sure.
00:35:20Mom was so sweet.
00:35:21Now, are you the singer or the rapper?
00:35:22I'll rap.
00:35:23Mama, I'm a sick.
00:35:24Wait.
00:35:25Hey.
00:35:26Hey.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:28The fact that she's dedicating the song to her mom, I love the lineage, respect.
00:35:32I want her to be herself.
00:35:33I just felt like that's all you can bring is yourself.
00:35:35And I felt like God ordained this.
00:35:37This is already predestined.
00:35:38So regardless of whatever happens, I feel like she's a winner.
00:35:42Mama knows best.

00:43:49At Disney Valani Resort
00:43:52This is what heaven looks like
00:43:55Thank you, American Idol
00:43:56It's so good to be back
00:43:59Hey, hey
00:44:03You're lookin' at a real one
00:44:06Yeah!
00:44:11Kiki Palmer, Mickey and Minnie. Amazing. So fun. The best.
00:44:20Now, hold on for a second. So, just saying about Kiki, by the way, thank you for being here, for
00:44:25the mentorship that you're providing, the energy, the guidance that you're giving.
00:44:29It's my pleasure. It's my pleasure.
00:44:32So, she can sing, obviously. She can dance. She can act. You also have a podcast.
00:44:38Ugh, and I gotta have you on my podcast.
00:44:40What is the name of the podcast?
00:44:42It's called Baby, This is Kiki Palmer.
00:44:46What is, what does Kiki Palmer talk about on Baby, This is Kiki Palmer?
00:44:50Well, you know, I'm curious and I like to talk to icons such as yourself to learn how you got
00:44:54to be this way.
00:44:55Thank you, but the fact that you called me an icon with Mickey next to me,
00:44:59That was very, very generous. Kiki Palmer, one more time, everybody. Thank you, that was amazing.
00:45:05Coming up, the depth of the talent this year is off the charts and hoping to prove just that is
00:45:10Madison Moon.
00:45:12She takes the idol stage after the break, right after this.
00:45:30Looking good, back with you on American Idol. We always love the backdrop here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:45:36What better place to chase the idol dream? Hoping to shine tonight, it's Madison Moon.
00:45:47Guys, look at it. Oh my goodness.
00:45:49Every time we go somewhere, my family finds a sunset. Being able to do that in Hawaii means everything.
00:45:55Did you ever think you would be here? It literally doesn't even feel real.
00:46:00My dad got to join me in meeting Kiki Palmer and Brad Paisley. I feel like I kind of got
00:46:05my voice from
00:46:05my daddy. He is an excellent vocalist and he pours his heart and soul into it. He had a high
00:46:11school band.
00:46:12He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera, which was dope. Would you want to sing a little
00:46:17something?
00:46:17I'll do it for her. He wanted to pursue it further, but he decided to give that up to raise
00:46:23a family.
00:46:28The world kind of missed out on him as a musician.
00:46:40Oh my gosh. You're so good.
00:46:42Oh my gosh. It's a moment I'll never forget.
00:46:45What are you doing for us today?
00:46:48Since You've Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson.
00:46:50Okay.
00:46:51It's very bold, especially doing a song by a former idol.
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks in this competition. I haven't played it safe and I'm not going to.
00:47:06It's pretty crazy what's in the tank.
00:47:08You were feeling it and being fun and not taking it too seriously, but also giving in when it was
00:47:12time.
00:47:12And again and again and again.
00:47:17Woo!
00:47:17There was a moment with the note where I was like, oh, oh, how are you feeling about the big
00:47:21note?
00:47:21I wasn't really, you know, doing all the warmups and stuff today.
00:47:25One thing that always helped me to be to lean in.
00:47:28If I go left, let me go all the way left.
00:47:31You know, it's never any mistakes because we don't really know what you was trying to do.
00:47:35I absolutely feel pressure. If I don't hit this note, I'm going home.
00:47:47Here's the thing, we started out friends, it was cool but it was all pretend, yeah, yeah, seem to be
00:47:58gone.
00:48:00And all you'd ever hear me say is how I picture me with you, that's all you'd ever hear me
00:48:10say.
00:48:10Should you be gone?
00:48:15Should you be gone?
00:48:15I can't breathe for the first time.
00:48:18I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah.
00:48:22Thanks to you, now I'm getting what I want.
00:48:30Should you be gone?
00:48:31You are your chance, you blew it.
00:48:35Out of sight, out of mind.
00:48:38Shut your mouth, I just can't take it.
00:48:42Again and again and again and again and again.
00:48:51Since you've begun, I can't breathe for the first time.
00:48:58So moving on, yeah, yeah.
00:49:02Thanks to you, now I'm getting what I want.
00:49:09I can't breathe for the first time.
00:49:13So moving on, yeah, yeah.
00:49:17Thanks to you, now I'm getting what I want.
00:49:21You should know that I get what I want.
00:49:27Since you've begun.
00:49:31Since you've begun.
00:49:35Since you've begun.
00:49:36Since you've begun.
00:49:37Since you've begun.
00:49:38Wow.
00:49:40Wow.
00:49:41Thank you, y'all.
00:49:44Taking on one of Idol's biggest voices.
00:49:47Wow, wow.
00:49:49Amazing to watch you and then us cut to your father who was singing every lyric as well down there.
00:49:53That was brilliant.
00:49:54He was like.
00:49:56I love you daddy.
00:49:58What was that face you did?
00:50:01There it is.
00:50:04So earlier today, I was like over in my room and I could hear this song kind of being played.
00:50:10I couldn't see anything, so I didn't really know.
00:50:12But I was like, I bet that's Madison.
00:50:15Like that has to.
00:50:16She's the only one that I feel like could go for this and pull it off.
00:50:20And you did.
00:50:20I love your voice so much.
00:50:22I love that you're just you.
00:50:24You've got incredible pipes.
00:50:26That's a tall order song.
00:50:28Like nobody wants to sing this song because it's really hard and you tackled it, girl.
00:50:36You just honestly blew my wig off my head, man.
00:50:41There's no doubt about it.
00:50:42When I tell you power, you have it in spades.
00:50:47I kept thinking at some point, okay, she's gonna take a breath.
00:50:49She's gonna come back down.
00:50:51Give a moment.
00:50:52Girl, you stayed FM all the way through then.
00:50:56It was amazing.
00:50:56Amazing.
00:50:58Keep that mentality.
00:51:00Keep that rocker energy pushing yourself, surprising us with what you can do.
00:51:07You went after that and you nailed it.
00:51:09And like I said, you're the one that can do it.
00:51:12Be that person.
00:51:13Be that finalist.
00:51:16You have such an incredible voice.
00:51:18It's so powerful.
00:51:19And I was nervous for a second.
00:51:20I'm like, is she gonna hit that Kelly note that we know why don't nobody wanna sing this song?
00:51:24And you did it.
00:51:26I've been a fan of American Idol since the beginning.
00:51:28And this season has some of the best singers I've seen in a really long time.
00:51:32Wow.
00:51:32And you're one of them.
00:51:36I think we're excited to see what you do next after all of that.
00:51:40What's that?
00:51:41What's going on with that tear there?
00:51:42What are you feeling?
00:51:43I'm just so happy.
00:51:44This is everything I wanna do.
00:51:45And to see my family watching me and literally sobbing with me.
00:51:48It's insane.
00:51:49And I just respect all of you guys in this crowd.
00:51:51Thank you so much.
00:51:53Great job.

00:52:25More Idol from Hawaii after this.
00:52:28Woo!
00:52:29Woo!

00:52:49So keep them coming.
00:52:51Next to take the stage is Minnesota's Chris Tungsen.
00:52:58This morning, I woke up early and went to the spa.
00:53:02This is the first time ever being pampered.
00:53:04This is the best.
00:53:06I've been enjoying the princess treatment, but I don't think it's going to last very long.
00:53:09When I'm not here with American Idol, I'm working and I'm trying to pay bills.
00:53:14I don't really have a whole lot of downtime, so being in a spa for the first time was so
00:53:18nice.
00:53:20This round, I'll be singing Apologize by One Republic.
00:53:22Classic.
00:53:23Yeah, classic.
00:53:24When I was about 12, 13, I would hop on my bike with my papers and do my paper out,
00:53:29and
00:53:29I'd listen to the song over and over and over again.
00:53:31I'm holding on your boat, got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:53:37This is one of the more intimate things somebody's done.
00:53:40Yeah.
00:53:40I want to make this one a little bit more fun, a song that people know, a song that people
00:53:44want to sing along to, but also with intimacy.
00:53:47But fun is different for everybody, right?
00:53:48Right.
00:53:49So we don't have to be everybody's version of fun.
00:53:51Exactly.
00:53:51But I think letting that hair down.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53I don't know what you're wearing, but a little unbuttoned.
00:53:55Yeah.
00:53:55You know what I mean?
00:53:56Very handsome.
00:53:56So leaning into that appeal.
00:53:58I think with this song will bring the funness that you're also looking to.
00:54:02Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:05Yes.
00:54:06There you go.
00:54:07I said it's too late to apologize.
00:54:12It's too late.
00:54:14He wants to make it fun.
00:54:16Well, in my mind, I want to see you lean into your image.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20Yeah.
00:54:20I'm telling you.
00:54:22Working everything you got.
00:54:23When you were doing that, I wish I could do that.
00:54:25I can't do that.
00:54:26I might have to take Kiki's advice and let my hair down and drop a button or two.
00:54:30That's it.
00:54:31That was giving.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:43I'm holding on your roll, got me 10 feet off.
00:54:50And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make you sound.
00:54:58You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down
00:55:06Tell me that you saw me didn't think I'd turn around
00:55:12And say that it's too late to apologize
00:55:18It's too late
00:55:22I said it's too late to apologize
00:55:26It's too late
00:55:33Oh, sing that song, boy
00:55:38I'll take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
00:55:46And I need you like a heart need to be
00:55:49But it's nothing new
00:55:53I loved you with the fire red
00:55:57Now it's burning blue
00:56:02Sorry like an angel
00:56:04Heaven let me think it was you
00:56:09Because it's too late to apologize
00:56:13It's too late
00:56:17I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:31I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:38It's too late to apologize
00:56:39It's too late to apologize
00:56:39It's too late to apologize
00:56:39It's too late to apologize
00:56:47It's too late to apologize
00:56:49There he is. Nice work. So you wanted to create some intimate moments in that performance, right?
00:56:55Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:56Lionel?
00:56:57So let me just tell you. The first verse you were concentrating so hard you almost blew up. I'm telling
00:57:04you were just
00:57:05In every note, I'm thinking about it.
00:57:08I got to make it perfect.
00:57:09Second verse, you joined us.
00:57:13I mean, from that point on, you just kind of let go
00:57:16and delivered the goods.
00:57:18Enjoy that stage.
00:57:20You've got the gift.
00:57:21Thank you, Lama.
00:57:25Chris, you have a great voice, but you also have a great vibe.
00:57:28And the way that you transformed the song,
00:57:31it was like, okay, I'm getting the Chris version of this song.
00:57:33And I think for me, I want to hear more of you
00:57:35to really get into that vibe of what makes Chris, Chris.
00:57:38And so to Lionel's point, I want to see you get more comfortable.
00:57:40I want to see you get relaxed.
00:57:42I want to come into your world because I know that there's a lot there.
00:57:45Thank you, Kiki.
00:57:46Great job.
00:57:47Ms. Underwood?
00:57:49I love your voice so much.
00:57:52Like, you just have this gorgeous, like, laid-back vibrato.
00:57:56It doesn't sound like anybody else.
00:57:59One little thing, and I don't mean this weird,
00:58:01but you've got this mysterious, sexy vibe going.
00:58:06And I feel like you need to know that.
00:58:09I like what you look sad.
00:58:11I thought I was the only one with the mysterious, sexy vibe going.
00:58:14Oh, no, no.
00:58:16Come on, Luke.
00:58:17I mean this as a compliment.
00:58:19It's like one of your kind of, like, superpowers.
00:58:22And if you own that, I feel like they will just eat it up.
00:58:25I agree.
00:58:26Sorry if that was weird.
00:58:28Sorry.
00:58:29I love my husband.
00:58:32I'm just saying.
00:58:34Man, I want to hear that power you got.
00:58:36I want you to partner that voice with that sexy stuff that Carrie's bringing up.
00:58:43Which, I mean, hey, you know, I see it, dog.
00:58:45I see it.
00:58:48I know what she's talking about.
00:58:50Am I rambling, Ryan?
00:58:51Am I rambling?
00:58:52Look, he's making you nervous.
00:58:53She's so cute.
00:58:54I understand.
00:58:55But the main thing that's really important is I see you getting right up to the edge and
00:59:01just, man, just set yourself free and start singing.
00:59:04Let it go.
00:59:05There you go.

01:00:00Oh, my word.
01:00:01Thank you so much.
01:00:02I appreciate you so much.
01:00:03I mean, this guy's a legend.
01:00:05He's a legend.
01:00:05Legend, right?
01:00:06Love you so much.
01:00:07Appreciate you.
01:00:08Peace.
01:00:09Mahalo.
01:00:11Awesome.
01:00:11Thanks, bro.
01:00:12Hit you later.
01:00:12Miss you.
01:00:13Bye-bye.
01:00:13That's freaking crazy.
01:00:16Word.
01:00:24Welcome back to American Idol from Alani at Disney Resort and Spine.
01:00:27I'm Koalina, Hawaii.
01:00:29Ten of our insanely talented finalists are lighting up the stage for your votes tonight.
01:00:33And earlier this week, they also had the pleasure of kicking back to enjoy some of their own Alani time.
01:00:39Right?
01:00:39Watch this.
01:00:41I always dreamed that my voice would bring me to places like this, and it happened.
01:00:50Being here in Hawaii has been so different from being back home.
01:00:53Just to see this part of the world, it is different.
01:01:00This is a homeowner to be my first homeowner ever.
01:01:06We're best buds now.
01:01:08It's just been so fun.
01:01:09The memories that we're making is just all unforgettable.
01:01:12This is really a dream come true.
01:01:19Look at that.
01:01:20You just saw Ruby Rake cruising on the catamaran.
01:01:22Here she is now.
01:01:24Coming face to face with Brad Paisley and Kiki.
01:01:28Watch.
01:01:32Being here has been great.
01:01:33I mean, I think I've definitely had some time to relax and soak up the sun.
01:01:37And I've gotten to do some really cool things around the resort with my family.
01:01:40The Mickey waffles are like my favorite things ever.
01:01:43Cheers.
01:01:45There's characters everywhere.
01:01:47We saw Goofy and then Chip and Dale.
01:01:49It feels absolutely insane to make top 20.
01:01:51I'm just like really excited and proud to be here.
01:01:53Hey.
01:01:54Hi there.
01:01:55What's up, Ruby Rake?
01:01:56For the beach round, I'm going to be singing Drag Me Down by One Direction.
01:01:59Why this song?
01:02:00I chose this song as kind of a thank you to my three older brothers because they were my biggest
01:02:05supporters
01:02:06when I was dealing with some mean girls back in middle school.
01:02:10I decided when I was 11 that it would be a fun idea to shave my head.
01:02:14So I had a buzz cut.
01:02:16I have some photos.
01:02:17Please show us.
01:02:18That's.
01:02:19Wow.
01:02:19I ended up like losing a lot of my friends because of it.
01:02:22Because of that?
01:02:23Yes.
01:02:23So my brothers, they had my back.
01:02:25And so this is like a thank you.
01:02:26Nobody can drag me down with their love.
01:02:28Okay.
01:02:29Oh, I love that.
01:02:30All my life you stood by me.
01:02:34It's an amazing thing that one of the most formative events of her life was a bullying
01:02:39for a really trivial thing.
01:02:41I think that's actually going to serve her.
01:02:43Use that experience to really grab this audience.
01:02:46It's certainly a song that embodies the hope and the struggle and that's great.
01:02:52Use that.
01:02:52This song does come from kind of a sad place, but I want to just stand strong and still
01:02:57like give a fun performance to watch.
01:03:07I've got five for a heart.
01:03:09I'm not scared of the dark.
01:03:12You never seen it look so easy.
01:03:14I got a river for souls.
01:03:17And baby, you're a boat.
01:03:19Baby, you're my only reason.
01:03:21If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left.
01:03:24The shell of America could never be his best.
01:03:27If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun.
01:03:31You taught me how to be someone.
01:03:34Hey.
01:03:35All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:42All these lights, they can't find me.
01:03:46With your love, nobody can drag me.
01:03:49All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:56All these lights, they can't find me.
01:03:59With your love, nobody can drag me.
01:04:03With your love, nobody can drag me down.
01:04:05Nobody, nobody.
01:04:07Nobody, nobody can drag me down.
01:04:12Nobody, nobody.
01:04:15Nobody can drag me.
01:04:17All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:24All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:30All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:40All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:46All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:47All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:50All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:51All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:54All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:55All my life, you stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me.
01:05:00Go!
01:05:11Way to go.
01:05:12The judges are on their feet after that.
01:05:15You are such a ray of sunshine.
01:05:18You're always got this gazillion watt smile,
01:05:20and, like, you can't help but smile watching you.
01:05:22I want to challenge you a little bit to, like, get, like, find your sassy side.
01:05:27When you're singing, nobody can drag me down, you know.
01:05:29Got a little sass in there.
01:05:31So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself and show it, bring it.
01:05:35All right.
01:05:36Let's go.
01:05:36So I thought for a moment, when she started, I said she's going to run out of air
01:05:41because she's moving, I can hear her breathing.
01:05:44And then she hit that note and held it all evening.
01:05:47I know you were thinking, you were overthinking, don't do it, you've got the goods.
01:05:51That was amazing that you kind of pulled that one out, I'm telling you.
01:05:54Yeah, thank you.
01:05:55It's 16, right?
01:05:56Yeah.
01:05:57That's disgusting.
01:05:59That's just disgusting.
01:06:00Yeah.
01:06:01First of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that.
01:06:03The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able to take your time with
01:06:07it
01:06:07and, you know, let the band catch up to you instead of you being a little bit in front of
01:06:11them.
01:06:11But these are small things that will go towards you in this competition
01:06:14just to make your performance better.
01:06:17And incredible job.
01:06:18Thank you so much.
01:06:18Yeah.
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20Yeah.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:22Yeah, it's hard to get out of, like, a 16-year-old mentality, but you do have a great voice.
01:06:27It was really like a 16-year-old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you,
01:06:32which is, what is it, Lionel?
01:06:34It's disgusting.
01:06:35It's just disgusting.
01:06:36But you need to work on this, like, you know, get in that mentality of, like,
01:06:40I'm going to get out here and, like, almost create a little alter ego
01:06:43where you've got a little more angst in there.
01:06:46But I love your voice, and we know you've got all the goods in there.
01:06:50So thank you.
01:06:51Thank you so much.
01:06:52It's all good feedback, and every time you're up on the stage,
01:06:55you get better and better at all of that.
01:06:56Lots of things about some good stuff there.

01:07:18like Julian Kal-El with some Zac Bryan.

01:07:39and on social media.
01:07:41Their lives in the competition depend on it.
01:07:43And Julian Kal-El wants to stick around for a while.
01:07:46Here's his mentor meet-up with Brad and Kiki.
01:07:50I was here two summers ago.
01:07:52My family and I were big Hawaii fans.
01:07:55We're also big Disney fans.
01:07:56And my favorite character is Stitch.
01:07:58Stitch!
01:08:00What's going on, buddy?
01:08:01I just think he's a little troublemaker.
01:08:03I love his voice.
01:08:04Ohana means family.
01:08:06Family means nobody gets left behind.
01:08:09So to be back here at Disney's Aulani Resort,
01:08:11feels like a blessing.
01:08:13There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii.
01:08:18Hi, Julian.
01:08:20For this round, I'm choosing a song called Tourniquet by Zac Bryan.
01:08:23There's a ways on the plains at a Mr. Montana
01:08:26where you told me you were leaving.
01:08:28It means a lot to me.
01:08:29So why is that?
01:08:30Tourniquet to me means picking someone else up
01:08:33when they're hurting
01:08:34and always telling someone,
01:08:35I have your back.
01:08:36Well, if you need a tourniquet
01:08:38or if you want to turn and cry,
01:08:40know that I'll be by your side.
01:08:41What always heals my heart
01:08:43is thinking about the people that I have in my life.
01:08:46And what motivates me even more
01:08:48is hoping that whoever's listening
01:08:50gets that feeling that I understand, I see you.
01:08:53It felt very authentic.
01:08:54And so I think you're getting a real sense
01:08:56of who he is as an artist.
01:08:58You know, that's magic being this close.
01:09:01Great voice.
01:09:01Thank you so much.
01:09:01You know, it's really captivating.
01:09:04Your prowess on the guitar shows.
01:09:06Your voice is perfect.
01:09:08Thank you so much.
01:09:09You're suited for that song.
01:09:10Sometimes when you're in a competition,
01:09:11it's like you're thinking about
01:09:12what's going to do my voice the best.
01:09:14But if you just sing what's true to you,
01:09:16it's somehow it's most perfect.
01:09:18Music can feel like a hug.
01:09:19Music can feel like a hand on your back
01:09:21that tells you you're not alone.
01:09:23And that's what I'm trying to replicate
01:09:24with my performance.
01:09:42Music can feel like a hug.
01:09:43There's delays on the plains
01:09:45out of Eastern Montana
01:09:46where you told me you were leaving front.
01:09:49You've been stabbed in the back
01:09:51and the rest of your body.
01:09:53Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
01:09:56Well, if you need a tourniquet
01:09:58or if you want to turn and quit,
01:09:59know that I'll be by your side.
01:10:02Pledge your whole soul
01:10:04into things you can't control
01:10:05in a world you'll never satisfy.
01:10:09But I'll bandage up your body,
01:10:11your bones,
01:10:12and your bad days, too.
01:10:15Take care of the blood
01:10:17that your love runs through.
01:10:20I know all the damage
01:10:22some days in this dark world does.
01:10:26But you laughed
01:10:28in last season
01:10:29something I dreamed of.
01:10:33Come on!
01:10:46I'll bandage up your body,
01:10:49your bones,
01:10:50and your bad days, too.
01:10:53Take care of the blood
01:10:55that your love runs through.
01:10:57Oh, and I know all the damage
01:11:00some days in this dark world does.
01:11:04But you laughed
01:11:06in last season
01:11:06something I dreamed of.
01:11:11Dreamed of.
01:11:14There's delays on the plains
01:11:16out of Eastern Montana
01:11:17where you told me
01:11:18you were leaving front.
01:11:20You've been stabbed in the back
01:11:22and the rest of your body.
01:11:24Won't you tell me
01:11:25where you're bleeding from?
01:11:27Won't you tell me
01:11:28where you're bleeding from?
01:11:32Yeah, man.
01:11:34Yeah, man.
01:11:40Kudyan!
01:11:41Well, just listen to that.
01:11:46What did you connect with
01:11:47in that song?
01:11:48What message?
01:11:49Well, to me,
01:11:50I wanted to,
01:11:51whenever I listen to a song like this,
01:11:52I think of unconditional love,
01:11:54whether it be for a friend,
01:11:56for someone you love.
01:11:57And it just means
01:11:58that you're never going
01:11:59to leave their side
01:11:59on their worst days
01:12:00and their best days.
01:12:02I wanted it to feel like
01:12:04a hand on your back,
01:12:05a hand, you know,
01:12:06that you can hold,
01:12:07a hug,
01:12:08just, you know,
01:12:08letting you know
01:12:09that you're never alone
01:12:10no matter how down you are.
01:12:14I love you.
01:12:15That's all I'm going to say.
01:12:16I love you.
01:12:18Kiki.
01:12:19I haven't been a part
01:12:20of the journey
01:12:21like these guys,
01:12:21but I agree.
01:12:23I mean,
01:12:23I feel like I've been watching you
01:12:24in the light of this.
01:12:25I can tell how much it means to you
01:12:26and that it's so true to you.
01:12:28Your voice is beautiful.
01:12:30I mean,
01:12:30I can listen to you
01:12:31go on and on and on,
01:12:32you know,
01:12:32and then when you look up,
01:12:33you're talking about
01:12:34Tourniquet.
01:12:34This is a deep and intense song,
01:12:36but you're delivering that hope
01:12:38when you look up
01:12:39during the performance
01:12:39and you flash us that smile.
01:12:41It does feel hopeful.
01:12:42It's beautiful.

01:12:56and it's so you

01:14:57final performance
01:14:58for you
01:14:59here on our
01:14:59beachside stage.
01:15:01It's coming from
01:15:02school teacher
01:15:02Keela Richardson.
01:15:04There you go.
01:15:08What up?

01:15:11he loves you so much.
01:15:12What's your son's name?

01:15:14It's been fun
01:15:15having Drew here.
01:15:15He has been by my side
01:15:17every step of the way.
01:15:19Unfortunately,
01:15:19my son couldn't be here
01:15:20for this performance
01:15:21because he had to go
01:15:22back to school.
01:15:23Maybe on my next voyage
01:15:24I can meet him.
01:15:25Okay, yes.
01:15:25For sure.
01:15:28How you doing?
01:15:30Huge fan.
01:15:31I'm a big fan of Kiki.
01:15:32To see myself
01:15:33in front of her,
01:15:33I was like,
01:15:34Mama, I made it.
01:15:35I love that.
01:15:36Well, Keela,
01:15:37I'm so excited.
01:15:37What are you going
01:15:38to be singing?
01:15:38With a little help
01:15:39with my friend.
01:15:39All right.
01:15:40What drew you
01:15:41to this song?
01:15:42There was a time
01:15:43when I didn't feel
01:15:44like I was good enough.
01:15:45You know,
01:15:45I didn't know
01:15:45where I was going.
01:15:46I was confused.
01:15:47God had to place
01:15:47friends around me.
01:15:48I had that really helped me.
01:15:49They were destiny
01:15:50helpers to me.
01:15:51Helped me to my purpose
01:15:52and they pushed me.
01:15:53What would you do
01:15:55if I sang?
01:15:56Hearing her sing,
01:15:58I didn't know
01:15:58what to expect.
01:15:59And when her voice
01:16:01came out,
01:16:01it was just awesome.
01:16:04It felt so truthful.
01:16:06Have a little help
01:16:07with my friends.
01:16:09She seemed like,
01:16:10oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:16If I would a little help
01:16:19from my friends,
01:16:25that was a lot.
01:16:27Oh, no.
01:16:28Oh, no.
01:16:28Don't do it to me.
01:16:33Such a special voice.
01:16:37Such a special voice.
01:16:48That voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:51What you're doing
01:16:52is more than just singing.
01:16:53You're embodying spirit
01:16:55through song.
01:16:56That's beautiful.
01:16:57Seriously.
01:16:58It blew my mind
01:16:59when I sang for the mentors.
01:17:01I'm humble
01:17:01and I'm grateful
01:17:02because that just lets me know
01:17:04that no matter what I sang,
01:17:05and somebody's gonna feel it
01:17:07and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:20What would you do
01:17:22if I sang
01:17:24got a tune?
01:17:26Would you stand up
01:17:27and walk out on me?
01:17:30Lend me a way
01:17:32when I sang you a song?
01:17:35And I would try
01:17:36not to sing it out of key.
01:17:39Oh, yeah.
01:17:40Bow with a little help
01:17:42from my friends.
01:17:45Bow with a little help
01:17:47from my friends.
01:17:59What would you do
01:18:01when my love
01:18:02is going away?
01:18:05Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:18:09And how would I feel
01:18:12any other day?
01:18:15Are you sad
01:18:16because you're all
01:18:17on your own?
