00:04:50And singer and award-winning actress, Kiki Palmer.
00:04:54All right, girl.
00:04:54Here's how it went down with the Grange Georges.
00:04:58Filmingly.
00:05:00Woo!
00:05:01When you're in Hawaii, it's like something out of a movie.
00:05:05Four.
00:05:06I love golfing.
00:05:06I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world, but I just love going out there and
00:05:10stride pointing down the middle.
00:05:12Back at home, we definitely got some golf courses, but this place is amazing.
00:05:17Let's go.
00:05:18So it's awesome to be here.
00:05:20Hey!
00:05:20How you doing?
00:05:21Nice to meet you.
00:05:22It was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad.
00:05:24They were super cool.
00:05:25I'm excited to hear what you're going to be singing.
00:05:27I know you're very soulful, so what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
00:05:32Fabulous.
00:05:32That's cool.
00:05:33Just a small town girl.
00:05:36My journey so far, each round, I've gotten more nervous than nervous because I'm chasing my
00:05:40dreams.
00:05:41My knees are shaking, dude.
00:05:42How you holding up?
00:05:43A little nervous.
00:05:44Like, I'm not too confident.
00:05:45What would you say is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:47Just trying to be perfect.
00:05:48I'm a huge critic on myself, so.
00:05:50I can relate.
00:05:51Man, I'm in the top 20 of American Idol.
00:05:53From LaGrange, Georgia, a small town.
00:05:55It's just amazing.
00:05:57I think my family thinks the same way.
00:05:59Aw, damn.
00:06:03I think my family thinks the same way, so hopefully I get to go even further.
00:06:08I haven't been told no yet, but.
00:06:11I can't talk right now.
00:06:12I can't even breathe.
00:06:13The nerve stuff, you take that energy and you let it be a part of the performance.
00:06:17It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind.
00:06:19The jitters, when you're getting up on that stage, I think the hardest part of the song
00:06:23is the first part.
00:06:25Yes!
00:06:25Like, the second part's give it all you got, you know, and you do that.
00:06:28Let me hear that first verse again.
00:06:30Living in a lonely world.
00:06:33That's the note, lonely.
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes are just the ones to not get tripped up on.
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:39Because then everybody breathes easy.
00:06:41I think if Philman hits those notes in the beginning, he's got a real chance of going on.
00:06:46It's just a big stage.
00:06:48I just want to make sure my family's proud.
00:06:51It would just mean the world to keep going.
00:06:53I want to keep singing for everybody.
00:07:01Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.
00:07:09Come on, sing it now.
00:07:10She took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:19Just a city boy, born a raise and start to turn.
00:07:28He took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:34I see you in a smoking room.
00:07:38I smell a wild chip fuel.
00:07:42Come on now.
00:07:43For a smile that can shell the night.
00:07:46Goes on and on and on and on.
00:07:51Strangers waiting.
00:07:55Up and down the boulevard.
00:07:59Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:08Streamlight people.
00:08:10Oh.
00:08:11Oh.
00:08:13Living just to find the emotion.
00:08:15Hiding somewhere in the night.
00:08:23You are.
00:08:25You are.
00:08:28You are.
00:08:30You are.

00:12:19Respect yeah
00:12:19R-E-S-B-E-C-T
00:12:20So what makes you say Aretha
00:12:23I grew up on Aretha
00:12:24My mom just always played Aretha everywhere
00:12:27And she just told me like you're going to command the stage like her
00:12:30You're going to command the stage
00:12:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T
00:12:34Find out what it means to me
00:12:36So let's talk about what you're going to do on stage
00:12:38I don't have any choreography
00:12:40And I do want to have like something in mind
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it
00:12:43But like I don't know
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional and I'm crying
00:12:48So now I'm having fun
00:12:51And I think that's what I'm excited for
00:12:54It's just markers
00:12:55Like by this point of the song I'm going to go to the right
00:12:58By this point of the song I'm going to go to the left
00:13:00All it would take is one of those notes this way or this way
00:13:04And I think that audience would go crazy
00:13:11Yeah
00:13:11Yeah
00:13:12Yeah
00:13:12Yeah
00:13:13Fantastic
00:13:13It seemed like you had such ease with it

00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire.
00:16:13Girl, I'm not playing.
00:16:15You were singing down.
00:16:16I even heard a little talking personality throughout
00:16:18when you hit that move at the end.
00:16:20I mean, it was just the performance was fabulous
00:16:22from top to bottom.
00:16:23You gave us stage presents.
00:16:25You gave us the outfit.
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J. Blige.
00:16:27Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:16:30I just live, Mama.
00:16:33So we've known you for a bit,
00:16:35and we've been in these, like, much more subdued situations.
00:16:39I feel like this was the missing ingredient.
00:16:42We always knew you could sing, but you can entertain.
00:16:46There you go.
00:16:47Like, you were having fun with it.
00:16:49There you go.
00:16:49There.
00:16:50You completely made it your own.

00:18:57Now, let's check out Lucas Leon's mentor moment with Brad and Kiki.
00:19:03I'm very excited to be able to share this experience with my parents.
00:19:07Vacation to Hawaii and come around every so often for them to be able to see all my hard work
00:19:12kind of pay off.
00:19:13It feels great.
00:19:14I'm from Gallatin, Tennessee, and hometown support has been awesome.
00:19:19You perform all around town.
00:19:20How does that happen with you being in high school?
00:19:22Oh, it's just fun.
00:19:24Teachers and students and my buddies and they all come out to shows and all of that.
00:19:28And I do play one of your songs in almost every gig.
00:19:32Oh, really?
00:19:33I'm a massive Brad Payson fan.
00:19:36Well, I'm gonna miss her.
00:19:39I play the Farmer's Market a lot in Nashville.
00:19:41Yeah, yeah.
00:19:41It gets the tips.
00:19:43I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing,
00:19:46his singing, his songwriting, his stage presence, everything about him.
00:19:49I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months.
00:19:52Maybe you can come to that and then we can walk around backstage.
00:19:55That would be awesome. Thank you so much.
00:19:56So what song are you doing today?
00:19:57I'm gonna be doing Just to See You Smile.
00:19:59It's one of my favorite songs ever written.
00:20:02Just to see you smile, I'd do anything.
00:20:07You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song and then acknowledge there's an audience.
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me, but I was loving the eye.
00:20:17So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing.
00:20:21It doesn't sound like Tim and it shouldn't.
00:20:23It sounds like you and that's hard to do.
00:20:26Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this, isn't it?
00:20:29It really is.
00:20:30Absolutely.
00:20:30You know, they say I don't meet your heroes, but I'm really glad I met Brad.
00:20:33So, hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage.
00:20:41You always had enough things to glitter.
00:20:46And I was far from being made of gold.
00:20:51I don't know.
00:20:53I don't know how, but I've scraped 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.
00:21:07I'm taking that new job in Tennessee.
00:21:12And I quit mine so we could be together.
00:21:16And I can't forget the way you looked at me.
00:21:21But just to see you smile, I'd do anything that you wanted me to.
00:21:32And all is said and done.
00:21:35I'd never count a call.
00:21:38It's one thought that's lost.
00:21:43But just to see you smile.
00:21:47Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted.
00:21:52When you came walking up to me with him.
00:21:57And I told you that I was happy for you.
00:22:02And given the chance I'd like it.
00:22:07I trust to see you smile.
00:22:11I'd do anything that you wanted me to.
00:22:17And all is said and done.
00:22:21I'd never count the cost.
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost.
00:22:29But just to see you smile.
00:22:36But just to see you smile.
00:22:40Yeah!
00:22:44Yeah.
00:22:49Lovely.
00:22:50Lovely.
00:22:51It was lovely.
00:22:52It was lovely.
00:22:53You know, you made that so comfortable.
00:22:56Yes.
00:22:56I almost forgot that you were a contestant.
00:22:59That's what you want.
00:23:00You want comfort.
00:23:01You want people to understand that this is what you do naturally.
00:23:06And what you just performed there was about as natural as you were ever going to get.
00:23:09It was fantastic.
00:23:13I agree with everything that Lionel said because you literally transported us into your world.
00:23:18I felt like I was at a beach club.
00:23:19I was at a festival.
00:23:21You know, I haven't been in love in ages.
00:23:22I'm single as a Pringle.
00:23:24And I felt romantic because you set the tone.
00:23:27You were making me smile.
00:23:29I mean, I just loved it.
00:23:30You are very much you and you did a fabulous job.
00:23:33Thank you so much.
00:23:34Single as a Pringle.
00:23:36Your voice is so, it is powerful.
00:23:39It is beautiful.
00:23:40And there is something really special about the simplicity.
00:23:43You don't try to over sing.
00:23:45There you go.
00:23:46You're like laid back in the pocket.
00:23:48There you go.
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you and to watch you.
00:23:52Thank you so much.
00:23:52I loved it.
00:23:53Yeah.
00:23:54Luke Ryan.
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering.
00:23:58Keep making us feel comfortable.
00:24:00But also keep adding the pressure and intensity.
00:24:04There you go.
00:24:04And pick songs that really pull you outside of your comfort zone.
00:24:07But you just keep knocking every performance out of the park.
00:24:10Thank you so much.
00:24:13Luke predicted you would make your hometown's Wikipedia page at some point, right?
00:24:19Maybe old Lucas Leon.
00:24:21Maybe.
00:24:22He's got a spot here on the Wikipedia.
00:24:24So I was just backstage doing my research.
00:24:27Gallatin, Tennessee.
00:24:29And look at this.
00:24:30Lucas Leon.
00:24:30American Idol.
00:24:31Season 24 contestant.
00:24:35Lucas Leon.
00:24:36You've got to vote for him right now.
00:24:37If you want his idol journey to live on, there's multiple ways to cast your votes.
00:24:41Head on over to AmericanIdol.com for all the details.
00:24:44Lucas Leon, everyone.
00:24:45All right, buddy.
00:24:46Congrats.
00:24:46Well done.
00:24:52Next, worship director Jordan McCullough takes on a U2 crowd pleaser.
00:24:56Here's how he impressed.
00:24:58Right?
00:25:01How you like in Hawaii?
00:25:03Girl, I'm trying to figure out how I can stay a little long.
00:25:04Yes!
00:25:05Because my goodness, the sun is nice.
00:25:07The water is nice.
00:25:09Goofy!
00:25:09I got to meet Goofy.
00:25:11I honestly felt like a little kid when I saw him.
00:25:13Oh, my God.
00:25:14How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:17I came in a little unsure.
00:25:18Jordan!
00:25:19But it landed me the platinum ticket.
00:25:21The hopefuls voted for me, and it was amazing.
00:25:23I felt so honored.
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on because I feel like a lot of people are looking at me to
00:25:28see,
00:25:28okay, how can he follow up?
00:25:30So what are you singing today?
00:25:31Today I'm singing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2.
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre.
00:25:36I 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, I kind of finally found what I'm looking for.
00:25:46I'm finding my passion.
00:25:47I have run through the field.
00:25:52I'm kind of known right now for the showstopper experience, and I want to just show the judges that I
00:25:56can actually just stand here and sing, too.
00:25:59Just me.
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself.
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed in college.
00:26:04So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:07That's like definitely bold, and it could be risky.
00:26:10He's taking a risk, but I think it'll pay off.
00:26:12You got to swing for that fence.
00:26:14I 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?
00:26:21Me too.
00:26:21I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort for sure, but my approach will be a little bit different than what America
00:26:27has seen, and I hope that they will enjoy it and love it, too.
00:26:36I have climbed the highest mountain.
00:26:48I have run through the fields only to be with you.
00:27:02Only to be with you.
00:27:08I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, these city walls.
00:27:27only to be with you.
00:27:33But I'll see
00:27:37Have it found
00:27:43Oh, what I'm looking for
00:27:52I believe in the kingdom come
00:27:58With all the colors
00:28:01Bleed into one
00:28:05Bleed into one
00:28:07But the ax stops you running
00:28:11Mmm, yeah
00:28:13You broke the bar
00:28:15And you lose the chains
00:28:18Carry the cross
00:28:20Oh, am I shame
00:28:22Oh, am I shame
00:28:25You know I believe that
00:28:30Yeah
00:28:31But I still haven't found
00:28:36What I'm looking for
00:28:41But I still haven't found
00:28:46What I'm looking for
00:28:51But I still haven't found
00:29:05What I'm looking for
00:29:19Oh
00:29:25Beautiful job of that you two song
00:29:26You're shaking up here a little bit, huh?
00:29:30That emotion a little overwhelming. What were you feeling at the end? Yeah, man
00:29:34It's so ironic to sing a song about man not finding what you're looking for. I've done many things
00:29:38I've tried many things but tonight
00:29:40Looking out and seeing all of you guys. I feel like I finally have found
00:29:45What I'm looking for
00:29:49I think that Jordan has used up all the notes
00:29:56Possible in the music business
00:29:59First of all Jordan to take a U2 song and turn it into
00:30:05spiritual
00:30:06That's a feat and then on top of that turn the U2 song into your song
00:30:14Is the way you win competitions
00:30:18Thank you so much. Thank you
00:30:22I
00:30:22Love that Lionel used the word spiritual because I feel like I just had the most amazing
00:30:29Listening to you right we're in this heavenly made place listening to your
00:30:35Anointed voice yes, like yes, there's the Lord
00:30:38Yes all of this yes, it was absolutely just mind-blowing
00:30:43Yeah, that was incredible Jordan. Thank you so much
00:30:46Thank you so much
00:30:53What I have to say is just to everyone because when we see a talent like you come up on

00:31:24and to be able to navigate the notes
00:31:26To take us on this journey, man, you're a powerhouse singer out and you keep surprising me

00:44:49Well you know I'm curious
00:44:50And I like to talk to icons such as yourself
00:44:52To learn how you got to be this way
00:44:54Thank you
00:44:54But the fact that you call me an icon with Mickey next to me
00:44:58That was very very generous
00:44:59Kiki Palmer
00:45:00One more time everybody
00:45:01Thank you
00:45:02That was amazing
00:45:04Coming up
00:45:04The depth of the talent this year is off the charts
00:45:07And hoping to prove just that is Madison Moon
00:45:11She takes the idol stage after the break right after this
00:45:16Let's go Mickey
00:45:29Looking good
00:45:30Back with you on American Idol
00:45:32We always love the backdrop here at Disney's Aulani Resort
00:45:35What better place to chase the idol dream
00:45:37Hoping to shine tonight
00:45:39It's Madison Moon
00:45:46Guys look at it
00:45:47Oh my goodness
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere my family finds a sunset
00:45:51Being able to do that in Hawaii means everything
00:45:54Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57It literally doesn't even feel real
00:45:59My dad got to join me in meeting Kiki Palmer and Brad Paisley
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice from my daddy
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist
00:46:07And he pours his heart and soul into it
00:46:09He had a high school band
00:46:11He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera
00:46:13Which was dope
00:46:14Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:17I'll do it for her
00:46:18He wanted to pursue it further
00:46:20But he decided to give that up to raise a family
00:46:24Don't stop believing
00:46:27The world kind of missed out on him as a musician
00:46:32Streetlights
00:46:34People
00:46:39Oh my gosh
00:46:41You're so good
00:46:41Oh my gosh
00:46:42Yes
00:46:43It's a moment I'll never forget
00:46:45What are you doing for us today?
00:46:47Since you've been gone, Kelly Clarkson
00:46:48Okay
00:46:49It's very bold especially doing a song by a former idol
00:46:53Since you've been gone
00:46:56I can't breathe for the first time
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks in this competition
00:47:02I haven't played it safe and I'm not going to
00:47:04It's pretty crazy what's in the tank
00:47:07You were feeling it and being fun and not taking it too seriously
00:47:10But also giving in when it was time
00:47:12And again and again
00:47:16Woo
00:47:16There was a moment with the note
00:47:18Where I was like
00:47:18Uh oh, how are you feeling about the big note?
00:47:21I wasn't really
00:47:21Yeah, you know
00:47:22Doing all the warm-ups and stuff today
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24One thing that always helped me to be
00:47:26To lean in
00:47:27If I go left
00:47:28Let me go all the way left
00:47:30You know it's never any mistakes
00:47:31Because
00:47:31We don't really know what you was trying to do
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure
00:47:35If I don't hit this note
00:47:37I'm going home
00:47:46Here's the thing
00:47:47We started out friends
00:47:49It was cool but it was all pretend
00:47:52Yeah, yeah
00:47:54Since you've been gone
00:47:59And all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:02Is how I picture me with you
00:48:06That's all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:09Since you've been gone
00:48:13I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:17I'm so moving on

00:49:50Who was singing every lyric as well
00:49:52Down there
00:49:52That was brilliant
00:49:53He was like
00:49:55I love you daddy
00:49:57I love you daddy
00:49:58What was that face you did?
00:50:00There it is
00:50:03So earlier today
00:50:04I was like
00:50:05Over in my room
00:50:06And I could hear this song
00:50:08Kinda being played
00:50:09I couldn't see anything
00:50:10So I didn't really know
00:50:11But I was like
00:50:12I bet that's Madison
00:50:14Like that has to
00:50:15She's the only one
00:50:16That I feel like
00:50:17Could go for this
00:50:18And pull it off
00:50:19And you did
00:50:19I love your voice so much
00:50:21I love that you're just you
00:50:23You've got incredible pipes
00:50:25That's a Tall Order song
00:50:27Like
00:50:27Nobody wants to sing this song
00:50:29Because it's really hard
00:50:30And you tackled it girl
00:50:35You just
00:50:37Honestly
00:50:38Blew my wig off my head
00:50:39Man
00:50:40There's no doubt about it
00:50:40When I tell you
00:50:42Power
00:50:44You have it in spades
00:50:45I kept thinking
00:50:46At some point
00:50:47Okay she's gonna take a breath
00:50:48She's gonna come back down
00:50:49Give a moment

00:51:04Surprising us
00:51:05With what you can do
00:51:06You went after that

00:52:52Chris Tungsen
00:52:53Tongue sick.
00:52:57This morning, I woke up early and went to the spa.
00:53:01This is the first time ever being pampered.
00:53:03This is the best.
00:53:05I've been enjoying the princess treatment,
00:53:06but I don't think it's going to last very long.
00:53:08When I'm not here with American Idol,
00:53:10I'm working and I'm trying to pay bills.
00:53:13I don't really have a whole lot of downtime,
00:53:15so being in a spa for the first time was so nice.
00:53:19This round, I'll be singing Apologize by One Republic.
00:53:21Classic.
00:53:22Yeah, classic.
00:53:23When I was about 12, 13,
00:53:25I would hop on my bike with my papers and do my paper route,
00:53:28and I'd listen to the song over and over and over again.
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope,
00:53:32got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:53:36This is one of the more intimate things somebody's done.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:39I want to make this one a little bit more fun,
00:53:41a song that people know,
00:53:42a song that people want to sing along to,
00:53:44but also with intimacy.
00:53:46But fun is different for everybody, right?
00:53:47So we don't have to be everybody's version of fun.
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:50But I think letting that hair down,
00:53:51I don't know what you're wearing,
00:53:53but a little unbuttoned, you know what I mean?
00:53:55Yeah, yeah.
00:53:55Very handsome.
00:53:56So leaning into that appeal,
00:53:57I think with this song,
00:53:59will bring the funness that you're also looking to.
00:54:01Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:04Yes.
00:54:05There you go.
00:54:07I said it's too late to apologize.
00:54:11It's too late.
00:54:13He wants to make it fun.
00:54:15Well, in my mind,
00:54:16I want to see you lean into your image.
00:54:18Yeah.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:19I'm telling you,
00:54:21working everything you've got.
00:54:22I wish I could do that.
00:54:24I can't do that.
00:54:25I might have to take Kiki's advice
00:54:26and let my hair down
00:54:28and drop a button or two.
00:54:29That's it.
00:54:30That was giving.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:42I'm holding on your robe,
00:54:44got me ten feet off the ground.
00:54:49And I'm hearing what you say,
00:54:52but I just can't make a sound.
00:54:58You tell me that you need me,
00:55:00then you go and cut me down.
00:55:04But when you tell me that you're sobbing,
00:55:08didn't think I'd turn around and say
00:55:13that it's too late to apologize.
00:55:17It's too late to apologize.
00:55:21I said it's too late to apologize.
00:55:25It's too late.
00:55:29Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:55:33Oh, yeah.
00:55:34I wanna sing that song, boy.
00:55:37I'll take another chance,
00:55:39take a fall,
00:55:40take a shot for you.
00:55:44And I need you like a heart needs to be but it's nothing new
00:55:52I loved you with the fire you're it now is burning blue
00:56:01Like an angel
00:56:03Let me think was you
00:56:08Cause it's too late to apologize
00:56:12It's too late
00:56:16I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:20Yeah
00:56:30Wow
00:56:32I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:37It's too late to apologize
00:56:38It's too late to apologize
00:56:48There he is! Nice work!
00:56:50So you wanted to create some intimate moments in that performance, right?
00:56:54Yeah, absolutely
00:56:56So let me just tell you
00:56:57The first verse
00:56:59You were concentrating so hard you almost blew up
00:57:02I'm telling you, you were just in every note
00:57:05I'm thinking about it, I gotta make it perfect
00:57:08Second verse
00:57:11You joined us
00:57:12I mean, from that point on you just kind of let go and deliver the goods
00:57:17Enjoy that stage
00:57:18You've got the gift
00:57:20Thank you, Lionel
00:57:22Thank you
00:57:24Chris, you have a great voice
00:57:26But you also have a great vibe
00:57:27And the way that you transformed the song
00:57:30It was like, okay, I'm getting the Chris version of this song
00:57:32And I think for me, I wanna hear more of you
00:57:34To really get into that vibe of what makes Chris, Chris
00:57:37And so to Lionel's point
00:57:38I wanna see you get more comfortable
00:57:40I wanna see you get relaxed
00:57:41I wanna come into your world
00:57:42Because I know that there's a lot there
00:57:43Thank you, Kiki
00:57:45Yeah, great job
00:57:45Alexander Wood?
00:57:48I love your voice so much
00:57:50Like, you just have this gorgeous, like, laid-back vibrato
00:57:55It doesn't sound like anybody else
00:57:57One little thing, and I don't mean this weird
00:58:00But you've got this mysterious, sexy vibe going
00:58:05And I feel like you need to know that
00:58:08Thank you

00:58:16I mean this as a compliment
00:58:18It's like, one of your kind of, like, superpowers

00:58:24I agree
00:58:25Sorry if that was weird

00:58:28I love my husband

01:00:12That's freaking crazy
01:00:15Word
01:00:23Welcome back to American Idol from Aulani at Disney Resort and Spa in Koalina, Hawaii
01:00:27Ten of our insanely talented finalists are lighting up the stage for your votes tonight
01:00:32And earlier this week, they also had the pleasure of kicking back to enjoy some of their own Aulani time,
01:00:38right? Watch this
01:00:41I always dreamed that my voice would bring me to places like this, and it happened
01:00:49Being here in Hawaii has been so different from being back home
01:00:51Just to see this part of the world, it is different
01:00:55It's not matter how your heart is grieving
01:00:57If you keep on believing
01:00:59Dreaming
01:01:00This is an All-A-One
01:01:01To be the first All-A-One ever
01:01:03Oh
01:01:06We're best buds now
01:01:07It's just been so fun
01:01:08The memories that we're making is just all unforgettable
01:01:10This is really a dream come true
01:01:15Aulani!
01:01:19Look at that, you just saw Ruby Rake cruising on the catamaran
01:01:21And here she is now, coming face-to-face with Brad Paisley and Kiki.
01:01:27Come on.
01:01:31Being here has been great.
01:01:32I mean, I think I've definitely had some time to relax and soak up the sun.
01:01:36I've gotten to do some really cool things around the resort with my family.
01:01:39The Mickey waffles are, like, my favorite things ever.
01:01:42Cheers!
01:01:44There's characters everywhere.
01:01:46We saw Goofy and then Chip and Dale.
01:01:48It feels absolutely insane to make Top 20.
01:01:50I'm just, like, really excited and proud to be here.
01:01:53Hey!
01:01:53Hi there!
01:01:54What's up, Ruby Rae?
01:01:55For the beach round, I'm gonna be singing Drag Me Down by One Direction.
01:01:58Why this song?
01:01:59I chose this song as kind of a thank you to my three older brothers
01:02:02because they were my biggest supporters when I was dealing with some mean girls back in middle school.
01:02:09I decided when I was 11 that it would be a fun idea to shave my head.
01:02:13So I had a buzz cut. I have some photos.
01:02:16Please show up!
01:02:17That's...
01:02:18Wow!
01:02:18I ended up, like, losing a lot of my friends because of it.
01:02:21Because of that?
01:02:22Yes!
01:02:22So my brothers, they had my back, and so this is like a thank you.
01:02:25Nobody can drag me down with their love and support.
01:02:28Aw, I love that!
01:02:30All my life you stood by me...
01:02:33It's an amazing thing that one of the most formative events of her life was a bullying for a really
01:02:39trivial thing.
01:02:40I think that's actually gonna serve her.
01:02:42Use that experience to really grab this audience.
01:02:45It's certainly a song that embodies the hope and the struggle, and that's great.
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:51Use that.
01:02:51This song does come from kind of a sad place, but I wanna just stand strong and still, like, give
01:02:57a fun performance to watch.
01:03:06I've got five for a heart. I'm not scared of the dark. You've never seen it look so easy.
01:03:13I've got a river for a soul, and, baby, you're a beau.
01:03:18Baby, you're my only reason.
01:03:20If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left.
01:03:23The shell of America could never be his best.
01:03:27If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun.
01:03:30You taught me how to be someone, hey.
01:03:34All my life, you stood by me When no one else was ever behind me
01:03:41All these lights, they can't find me With your love, nobody can drag me
01:03:48All my life, you stood by me When no one else was ever behind me
01:03:55All these lights, they can't find me With your love, nobody can drag me down
01:04:04Nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me down
01:04:11Nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me down
01:04:16Nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me
01:04:16All my life, you stood by me When no one else was ever behind me
01:04:23All these lights, they can't find me With your love, nobody can drag me down
01:04:30All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:38All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:43All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:45All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:50All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:50All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:50All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:50All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:52All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:53All these lights, they can't find me
01:04:59Go!
01:05:10Way to go.
01:05:11The judges are on their feet after that.
01:05:14You are such a ray of sunshine.
01:05:17You're always got this gazillion-watt smile,
01:05:19and you can't help but smile watching you.
01:05:21I want to challenge you a little bit to find your sassy side.
01:05:26When you're singing, nobody can drag me down, you know?
01:05:28You've got to have a little sass in there.
01:05:30So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself
01:05:33and show it, bring it.
01:05:34All right.
01:05:35Let's go.
01:05:35So I thought for a moment when she started,
01:05:38I said she's going to run out of air because she's moving.
01:05:41I can hear her breathing.
01:05:43And then she hit that note and held it all evening.
01:05:46I know you were thinking.
01:05:47You were overthinking.
01:05:48Don't do it.
01:05:49You've got the goods.
01:05:50That was amazing that you kind of pulled that one out.
01:05:53I'm telling you.
01:05:53Yeah, thank you.
01:05:54It's 16, right?
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:56That's disgusting.
01:05:58That's disgusting.
01:05:58That's just disgusting.
01:05:59Yeah.
01:06:00First of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that.
01:06:02The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able to take your time
01:06:05with it and, you know, let the band catch up to you instead of you being a little bit
01:06:09in front of them.
01:06:10But these are small things that will go towards you in this competition just to make your performance
01:06:14better.
01:06:16And incredible job.
01:06:17Thank you so much.
01:06:18Yeah.
01:06:18Yeah.
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20Yeah.
01:06:21It's hard to get out of like a 16-year-old mentality, but you do have a great voice.
01:06:26It was really like a 16-year-old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you,
01:06:31which is...
01:06:32What is it, Lionel?
01:06:33It's disgusting.
01:06:34Just disgusting.
01:06:35But you need to work on this.
01:06:37Like, you know, get in that mentality of like, I'm going to get out here and like almost
01:06:41create a little alter ego where you got a little more angst in there.
01:06:45But I love your voice and we know you've got all the goods in there, so thank you.
01:06:50Thank you so much.
01:06:51It's all good feedback.
01:06:53And every time you're up on the stage, you get better and better at all of that.
01:06:56Lots of things.
01:06:56About some good stuff there.

01:07:13Now, we have got more show-stopping, beach-side performances heading your way, like
01:07:18Julián Calero with some Zack Bryan.
01:07:21Idol's back right after this.
01:07:33Welcome back to American Idol.
01:07:35Keep those votes coming in for all your favorites online via text and on social media.
01:07:40Their lives in the competition depend on it.
01:07:42And Julián Calero wants to stick around for a while.
01:07:45Here's his mentor meetup with Brad and Kiki.
01:07:49I was here two summers ago.
01:07:51My family and I were big Hawaii fans.
01:07:54We're also big Disney fans.
01:07:55And my favorite character is Stitch.
01:07:57Stitch!
01:07:59What's going on, buddy?
01:08:00I just think he's a little troublemaker.
01:08:02I love his voice.
01:08:03Ohana means family.
01:08:05Family means nobody gets left behind.
01:08:08To be back here at Disney's Aulani Resort feels like a blessing.
01:08:12There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii.
01:08:16Hi.
01:08:17How are you, Julián?
01:08:18For this round, I'm choosing a song called Tourniquet by Zack Bryan.
01:08:22There's a ways on the plains out of Mr. Montana where you told me you were leaving.
01:08:27It means a lot to me.
01:08:28So why is that?
01:08:29Tourniquet to me means picking someone else up when they're hurting and always telling
01:08:34someone I have your back.
01:08:35Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want a tourniquet, know that I'll be by your
01:08:40side.
01:08:41What always heals my heart is thinking about the people that I have in my life.
01:08:45And what motivates me even more is hoping that whoever's listening gets that feeling
01:08:50that I understand, I see you.
01:08:52It felt very authentic.
01:08:53And so I think you're getting a real sense of who he is as an artist.
01:08:57You know, that's magic being this close.
01:09:00You know, it's really captivating.
01:09:03Your prowess on the guitar shows, your voice is perfect.
01:09:07Thank you so much.
01:09:08You're suited for that song.
01:09:09Sometimes when you're in a competition, it's like you're thinking about what's going
01:09:12to do my voice the best.
01:09:13But if you just sing what's true to you, it somehow is most perfect.
01:09:17Music can feel like a hug.
01:09:18Music can feel like a hand on your back that tells you you're not alone.
01:09:21And that's what I'm trying to replicate with my performance.
01:09:26Music
01:09:42There's a lace on the plains out of Eastern Montana where you told me you were
01:09:48you've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body won't you tell me
01:09:52where you're bleeding from well if you need a tourniquet or if you want to
01:09:58turn it quick know that I'll be by your side
01:10:01pledge your whole soul into things you can't control in a world you'll never
01:10:06satisfy but I'll bandage up your body your bones and your bad days to take

01:11:40just listen to that
01:11:44thank you thank you
01:11:45What did you connect with in that song? What message?
01:11:48Well, to me, I wanted to, whenever I listen to a song like this,
01:11:52I think of unconditional love,
01:11:53whether it be for a friend, for someone you love,
01:11:56and it just means that you're never going to leave their side,
01:11:58their worst days and their best days.
01:12:01I wanted it to feel like a hand on your back,
01:12:04a hand, you know, that you can hold, a hug,
01:12:07just, you know, letting you know that you're never alone,
01:12:09no matter how down you are.
01:12:13I love you. That's all I'm going to say.
01:12:15Thank you. I love you.
01:12:17You keep.
01:12:18I haven't been a part of the journey like these guys,
01:12:20but I agree.
01:12:22I mean, I feel like I've been watching you in the light of this.
01:12:24I can tell how much it means to you and that it's so true to you.
01:12:27Your voice is beautiful.
01:12:29I mean, I can listen to you go on and on and on, you know,
01:12:31and then when you look up, you're talking about tourniquet.
01:12:34This is a deep and intense song,
01:12:35but you're delivering that hope when you look up during the performance
01:12:38and you flash us that smile.
01:12:40It does feel hopeful. It's beautiful. I loved it. Great job.
01:12:43Thank you so much, people.
01:12:45Ms. Underwood?
01:12:46You are such an artist. You're such a poet.
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:49And you're so believable when you start singing and playing.
01:12:54Like, it's just so honest and it's so you.
01:12:56And it's a joy to get to listen to you.
01:12:59Like, this is the best job in the world.
01:13:02There you go.

01:14:56We have one final performance for you here on our beach side stage.
01:15:00It's coming from school teacher Keila Richardson.
01:15:03Here you go.
01:15:09My son, he loves you so much.
01:15:11What's your son's name?
01:15:12Drew.
01:15:13It's been fun having Drew here.
01:15:15He has been by my side every step of the way.
01:15:18Unfortunately, my son couldn't be here for this performance because he had to go back
01:15:21to school.
01:15:22Maybe on my next voyage, I can meet him.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:24Yes.
01:15:24For sure.
01:15:27How you doing?
01:15:28Nice to meet you.
01:15:29Huge fan.
01:15:30I'm a big fan of Kiki.
01:15:31To see myself in front of her, I was like, mama, I made it.
01:15:34I love that.
01:15:35Well, Keila, I'm so excited.
01:15:36What are you going to be singing?
01:15:37With a little help with my friend.
01:15:38All right.
01:15:39What drew you to this song?
01:15:41There was a time when I didn't feel like I was good enough.
01:15:44You know, I didn't know where I was going.
01:15:45I was confused.
01:15:46God had to place friends around me that really helped me.
01:15:49They were destiny helpers to me.
01:15:50They helped me to my purpose and they pushed me.
01:15:53What would you do if I sang?
01:15:56Hearing her sing, I didn't know what to expect.
01:15:58And when her voice came out, it was just awesome.
01:16:03It felt so truthful.
01:16:04Have a little help with my friends.
01:16:08She seemed like, oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:12Yeah.
01:16:13Yeah.
01:16:15With a little help from my friends.
01:16:20Yeah.
01:16:24Ooh, that was a lot.
01:16:26Oh, no.
01:16:27Oh, no.
01:16:27Don't do it to me.
01:16:30That's first.
01:16:32Such a special voice.
01:16:36Such a special voice.
01:16:47Wow.
01:16:48That voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:50What you're doing is more than just singing.
01:16:53You're embodying spirit through song.
01:16:55That's beautiful.
01:16:56Seriously.
01:16:57It blew my mind when I sang for the mentors.
01:17:00I'm humble and I'm grateful because that just lets me know that no matter what I sang, somebody's
01:17:05going to feel it and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:18All right.
01:17:25Bye.
01:17:32I'm so sorry.
01:17:37Oh
01:17:59What would you do when my love is gone?
01:18:08And how would it feel any day?
01:18:14Are you sad?
01:18:15Because you're all on your own
01:18:17Yeah
01:18:21Is it alright if it's just me and my friend?

01:19:55Wow, wow, people have come out on their balconies at the hotel, marine life is pop, sea turtles
01:20:04are popping out up there going, what is, the fishes are going, what's happening up there
01:20:09on that stage?
01:20:10Oh my god.
01:20:11What did just happen, Lionel, what was that?
01:20:14I, I, I have never, I have never, ever, I've been on American Idol since I was that big.
01:20:27I have never had any contestant walk out on this stage and tear the place up!
01:20:35The place got blown up!
01:20:38Thank you Lionel, thank you.
01:20:39Janis Joplin sounding, Tina Turner sounding, I don't know who you are.
01:20:47But that right there was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
01:20:52Thank you, thank you.
01:20:55Thank you Lionel.
01:20:57That was ridiculous.
01:20:59Lionel had to bring me back to life.
01:21:01You know what I'm saying.
01:21:03He had to resuscitate me up in the place.
01:21:07Yes ma'am.
01:21:07But the last time I seen somebody make me feel like this and get people turned up like this,
01:21:12her name was Fantasia Burrito.
01:21:13Watch out, watch out, watch out.
01:21:15And she won American Idol.
01:21:17Watch out.
01:21:17Wow.
01:21:17And I'ma just leave that there and tell America, there's a lot of favorites and y'all need to vote.
01:21:22Vote.
01:21:23Vote y'all, vote.
01:21:24Because Keela, what you just did right there, girl, you a bad girl and I'm not touching you.
01:21:29Thank you, Kiki.
01:21:30Bless you.
01:21:31I ain't never seen this before.
01:21:33Lionel.
01:21:35The thing that I love about you is I feel like you don't think about what you're doing as it's
01:21:43happening.
01:21:44Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:21:44Like it just flows out of you.
01:21:47You were in the moment.
01:21:48You were having fun with the audience.
01:21:50Like it was like just pouring out.
01:21:52It was like from the heavens to Keela and then out to us.
01:21:56And it was spectacular.
01:21:57Thank you, Carrie.
01:22:01And Luke?
01:22:04I don't know.
01:22:07Do you remember when I kind of gave you a couple of little singing lessons in the audition?
01:22:12I do.
01:22:13I do.
01:22:14Why did you let me do that to you?
01:22:18You were just being kind to me.
01:22:20Yes, sir, Luke.
01:22:21Thank you for allowing me that time.
01:22:23But I hereby relinquish my vocal lessons to you.
01:22:28Oh, my God.
01:22:28I don't need to even say nothing to you.
01:22:31Nothing.
01:22:31You got Lionel.
01:22:32He done wore treats in the run.
01:22:34I've never seen nothing like that before.
01:22:36Ever.
01:22:36When you get us this excited, what is so special is you ain't thinking about it.

01:22:59It feels really good.
01:23:01It's just that fire burning on the inside.
01:23:03It came out.
01:23:03What is running through your veins when you're singing like that?
