00:10:01I'm a single mom.
00:10:03My son is the reason why I gotta keep going.
00:10:05Hi, Mr. Luke.
00:10:06One of my favorite moments I've ever had on this show.
00:10:08That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
00:10:13She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:21She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:25I'll never be more loved than I am right now.
00:10:30I wasn't holding you up.
00:10:32So there's nothing I can do to let you down.
00:10:37It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:44And I'll never be more loved than I am right now.
00:10:48Hey, you are enough.
00:10:54Hey, everybody say, you are enough.
00:11:01I will be content in every circumstance.
00:11:08Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:22How much more would he love you?
00:11:25How much more would he love you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:11:38How much more would he love you?
00:11:41And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:47You are enough, I'm free.
00:11:47Whether that's human that you need.
00:11:50Freedom that you need.
00:11:52You are enough.
00:11:54And I will be content in every circumstance.
00:12:00Every circumstance.
00:12:01And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:12:26So here's the situation.
00:12:30You have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:41You are walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence, and your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Loved it. Loved it.
00:12:53What a way to kick off the show.
00:12:56I mean, you kind of put us right there in the mind frame of, you know, being grateful
00:13:03and just the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:08And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:15Oh, my gosh.
00:13:19I mean, you've kind of touched me in a lot of ways since your audition
00:13:24and just watching your growth from there to now and watching you come out here
00:13:28and really command the room and the stage.
00:13:31And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just making this your moment.
00:13:35And I love that.
00:13:37Way to kick off the night.
00:13:38Great job.
00:13:41Well, you did it.
00:13:42You kicked off the night, just like Luke said.
00:13:44Your boy Drew was having a good time watching that performance.
00:13:46We saw him on TV.
00:13:47And I noticed in rehearsal that you were getting emotional singing that song.
00:13:51What were you feeling at the beginning of the day?
00:13:54I'm just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here and grateful to God just to be on this platform and to share my group with
00:14:00the world.
00:14:02If you love Keela, you can vote for her right now on social media or via text.
00:14:07You can also head to American Idol.com to vote.
00:14:10That's all the four-year-old man right there voting for you in the final election day.
00:14:14Keela Richardson, everyone.
00:14:15Thank you very much and good luck.
00:14:21FYI, the performances from all your top 14 will be available on all streaming platforms tomorrow.
00:14:27So if you love what you hear, check them out.
00:14:30Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finley.
00:14:36You haven't noticed I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt freeing for me because when I sing, I don't stutter.
00:14:42I love this show because we get to meet kids like you.
00:14:45American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life.
00:14:49I've got so much more confident in myself.
00:14:50I said, I love you.
00:14:55I said, I want to never away many years ago.
00:15:03Hoping I would find true love along the broken road.
00:15:09But I got lost a time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
00:15:18I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
00:15:25And every long lost dream led me to where you are
00:15:35Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
00:15:42Pointed me on my way into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know is true
00:15:56That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
00:16:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:13I'm still rolling home into my brother's arms
00:16:24This much I know is true
00:16:29God blessed the broken road
00:16:33God blessed the broken road
00:16:38God blessed the broken road
00:16:42That led me straight to you
00:16:49Thank you
00:17:07That was great, Jesse
00:17:09They made us wait for you
00:17:10I was like holding my breath for lots of people
00:17:13Me too
00:17:13But I bet you feel better now that that's over
00:17:16I mean, that song is such a singable, beautiful song
00:17:20I know somebody else who sang it a couple decades ago on the show
00:17:23But when people say you made it your own
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own
00:17:27I love the arrangement
00:17:28I love what you did with it
00:17:30You made that song suit your voice
00:17:32And you did it really fantastically
00:17:34Thank you so much, Kerry
00:17:35Thank you, guys
00:17:39Yeah, listen, I love everything you're doing
00:17:41Your voice is very controlled and very perfect
00:17:44But then, listen, keep pushing, too
00:17:46And dig more and more
00:17:48Because we're getting into the serious part of the competition
00:17:50I love the
00:17:51I totally echo what Kerry just said
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig
00:17:56And so glad to see you in this spot
00:17:58Thank you, Luke
00:17:59Great job on that
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys
00:18:03Honestly, honestly, it's ditto, ditto, ditto
00:18:07I mean, there's a purity about your voice
00:18:09And a sincerity about your voice
00:18:11That just comes right through first note
00:18:14Just remember, I like Luke now
00:18:16Remember, it's down to 14
00:18:18Give it to us
00:18:19Yes

00:18:26She sang that a couple times, I think, in her season
00:18:28Kerry Underwood
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Yes, definitely inspired me
00:18:31She did a great job
00:18:32And to be able to sing it on the stage in front of her was
00:18:34It did it head on
00:18:35Very special
00:18:36And it was symbolic, that song, right?
00:18:38Yes
00:18:38Yeah, it's just a beautiful song
00:18:39I love, like, the line
00:18:40God bless the broken road
00:18:42That led me straight to you
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song
00:18:46That everybody can feel
00:18:48And God leads us to the right people in life
00:18:49Whether that's friends or family
00:18:51And I just love that message that the song brings
00:18:54Yeah
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote

00:28:54There's going to be some fire
00:29:00Day
00:29:06Oh, boy, yeah
00:29:15Good job
00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done
00:29:31You see, automatically
00:29:32I never thought I would have to share all night long
00:29:36Now people stop me on the street and go
00:29:38I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're Mr. All Night Long
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story
00:29:46And then move the crowd
00:29:49And what you did there was a great, great performance
00:29:53Thank you, sir
00:29:54Thank you
00:29:56I love that I feel like you're so serious
00:30:00Like all the time
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music gets going
00:30:04Then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel
00:30:05And then the music stops again
00:30:07And you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like
00:30:10I feel like we're watching you kind of just get into
00:30:13A more comfortable, fun space
00:30:16Like I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:19Because this would be the chance for a lot of people to do like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:25I think that's going to differentiate you tonight a little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:32Yeah, have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow and expand and try new things
00:30:38And that's what you did with All Night Long
00:30:40Because we hadn't seen you do that yet
00:30:42And then, like I said, this got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back
00:30:50So you got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but just keep growing, keep growing
00:30:55Thank you, thank you
00:30:58It was actually a high-five with a knee-up
00:31:02Kind of thing you did right there
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move
00:31:04Flexibility at his best
00:31:05So are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher
00:31:10And so I have to be serious
00:31:11Oh, that'll do it
00:31:12But what's the real you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit
00:31:14To be honest, I really don't have any sense
00:31:17For real
00:31:18So I can get really
00:31:19I can have a lot of fun
00:31:20So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more
00:31:22There you go
00:31:23Given the opportunity

00:51:24Welcome back
00:51:35When you try your best, but you don't succeed
00:51:43When you get what you want, but not what you need
00:51:48When you feel so tired, but you can't see
00:51:55Stuck in reverse
00:52:02When tears come streaming down your face
00:52:08When you lose something you can't replace

00:53:10Down your face
00:53:35To fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential and star quality
00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Just then
00:54:00Thank you so much
00:54:01Just you and your guitar
00:54:02Great song choice
00:54:03Loved it
00:54:04Thank you, Luke
00:54:05What I'm loving most about
00:54:08It's number one in everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now
00:54:12What's happening now is
00:54:13Everybody's carving out their own lane
00:54:15And that was your lane clearly
00:54:17Now what I want you to do on that
00:54:19Is build on it
00:54:21You've got your section
00:54:23But this group right here
00:54:25This 14 is a rough group here, babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand is
00:54:29Carve out your part
00:54:32That's memorable to the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel
00:54:37Thank you
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way
00:54:43To really establishing
00:54:44Like your own sound
00:54:45You have a really great way
00:54:48Of taking somebody else's song
00:54:50And I mean
00:54:51We first heard you singing your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of
00:54:54Hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good at taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Carrie
00:55:05Good to see you, buddy
00:55:07And I know you were hanging out
00:55:09With some of the other finalists

00:55:12Yes, sir
00:55:12I went to the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game
00:55:14With my boy Jake and Jesse
00:55:15Yes, and they did all right for Dodgers
00:55:17They always do
00:55:18By the way
00:55:20They were over there
00:55:21And they were swaying to your song

00:57:24Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:26Oh, precious is the flow
00:57:31That makes me white as snow
00:57:37No other fountain
00:57:42Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:55Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:58:01Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:58:13Kendall, I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:23You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself. And I said, let it go. My goodness.
00:58:35It is a testament to what you're doing. I want you to understand now.
00:58:39Now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that.
00:58:47Okay? Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist.
00:58:52And I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like, super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works.
00:59:05And you're here for this time, right now.
00:59:08Wow. That was incredible.
00:59:12You are such an artist.
00:59:13You are so professional.
00:59:15And, like, I don't know. I'm just in awe watching you.
00:59:19It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid.
00:59:28And we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice.
00:59:38And you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you.
00:59:49And we just saw that happen.
00:59:50Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:54So I've noticed that you like to sing in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are...
01:00:03I mean, we're not going to show the world.
01:00:04They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right.
01:00:06We'll use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10What are you supposed to...
01:00:11Cover Ron's with the dress, also.
01:00:13There you go.
01:00:14That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel?
01:00:16Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:18It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah.
01:00:19I like to...
01:00:20I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22Yeah, all right.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right.
01:00:23Let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.
01:00:27I feel like the size of a Keebler elf right now.

01:00:54Those moves.
01:00:54Yeah, those moves.
01:00:55You want to take those on tour, do you?
01:00:57I'm all good.
01:00:58I'm all good.
01:00:58Yeah, okay.

01:01:33But with a 90s twist and calling all millennials, we've got a TGIF reunion with some of your
01:01:40favorite stars live on this stage.
01:01:42I know.
01:01:43I'm excited.
01:01:45Don't miss it.
01:01:46Now, with a number one from Christian rock band Mercy Me, it's Jordan McCullough.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52I grew up performing in church, and I didn't know that any of this was a possibility outside
01:01:57of the choir stand.
01:01:58Let the universe say amen.
01:02:01You're a powerhouse singer.
01:02:03You keep surprising me.
01:02:05I've tried many things, but I feel like I finally have found what I'm looking for.
01:02:12I can only imagine what it'd be like when I walk by your side.
01:02:24I can only imagine when that day comes and I find myself standing in the sun.
01:02:45I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you.
01:02:59Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel?
01:03:05Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still?
01:03:11Will I stand in your presence to my knees?
01:03:17Will I fall?
01:03:18Will I sing hallelujah?
01:03:22Will I be able to sing it all?
01:03:26Will I be able to sing it all?
01:03:28Will I live?
01:03:30Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still?
01:03:38Will I sing in your way?
01:03:42Will I live?
01:03:43Will I sing in your way?
01:03:46Will I sing in your way?
01:03:47Will I be able to sing it all?
01:03:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:03:52I can only imagine.
01:03:56I can only imagine.
01:03:58I can only imagine.
01:04:00I can only, I can only imagine.
01:04:20Praise God, praise God.
01:04:23Well, thank you.
01:04:29That's all I have to say.
01:04:33God bless you.
01:04:36Every time we see you, you have the ability to bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:43And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:47And it's just a craft.
01:04:51It's an art that you have.
01:04:53And that was another notch up the ladder.
01:04:56Thank you so much.
01:04:59And I'll make it very short.
01:05:02Will the congregation please say amen?
01:05:06Amen.
01:05:07Amen.
01:05:09Amen.
01:05:12This is your lane.
01:05:13This is what you do.
01:05:15That's it.
01:05:15As a worship director.
01:05:17Every single Sunday, right?
01:05:18Right.
01:05:18This feels like church to me.
01:05:20This is like, yeah.
01:05:22I mean, the only thing different is like, maybe Ronnie here on his steady camera.
01:05:26Other than that, it's like being at Zeal Church, isn't it?
01:05:28It's cool.
01:05:28Yeah, I like that.
01:05:29Yeah, well.
01:05:30Oh, look at that.
01:05:30Keep looking.
01:05:30That's how you get the votes.

01:07:19It's easy if you try
01:07:21It isn't hard to do
01:07:23It isn't hard to do
01:07:28A thing to kill or die for
01:07:33No religion to lose
01:07:40Imagine all the people
01:07:45You may find life in peace

01:08:56I'm not kidding
01:08:57The talent is amazing
01:08:58Your voice is amazing

01:09:09Yeah Brooks
01:09:10You just keep us guessing

01:09:14Very excited and curious
01:09:16To see what you're going to do
01:09:17Even when we see the song
01:09:19But it's like
01:09:20What's he going to do with it
01:09:21You have
01:09:22You put your stamp
01:09:23On everything that you do
01:09:24And even the notes that you pick
01:09:26And the phrasing that you do
01:09:27Like it's authentically Brooks
01:09:29Thank you so much
01:09:31Great
01:09:33Fantastic to watch you prepare him buddy
01:09:35And you haven't done a lot of this

01:09:44To be singing in front of all these people

01:12:01Where mercy reigns
01:12:05And never dies
01:12:12There's a place
01:12:14Where streams of grace
01:12:18Where streams of grace
01:12:19Flow deep in my heart
01:12:24Where all the love
01:12:28I've ever found
01:12:31Comes like a flood
01:12:34Comes flowing down
01:12:38At the cross
01:12:40At the cross
