00:00:07Tonight, American Idol reaches a crossroads in the competition.
00:00:12Who makes it through to America's vote?
00:00:15We have to cut from 30 to 20.
00:00:18It's hard.
00:00:19It's time.
00:00:20Let's do it.
00:00:21It's alright.
00:00:23A brand new round.
00:00:26The Ohana round is all about family.
00:00:28I dedicate this song to you, Papa.
00:00:30This song's for my mama, my daddy, my son, my grandpa, my lovely mother.
00:00:35I can't look at her too long or I will immediately cry.
00:00:37I think it's harder to perform in front of your family.
00:00:40It's like a different kind of pressure.
00:00:45Expect unforgettable voices, emotion laid bare.
00:00:49Every time I see my boy while I'm singing, man, he gives me an extra boost.
00:00:52I love you, boy!
00:00:54But this time, the judgment goes beyond our panel.
00:00:57Three groups will be charged with making some critical decisions.
00:01:01The idols themselves, Ohana, their family, and a panel of top music influencers and pop culture tastemakers.
00:01:10The song is not big enough for that voice.
00:01:12I absolutely loved her tone.
00:01:14I know she has it, and I wanted to see it so bad.
00:01:16I think she nailed it.
00:01:19Each group will vote for the performance that moved them most, earning the winners a platinum ticket that takes them
00:01:26straight to America's vote.
00:01:28Let's hear it one more time for the platinum ticket winners.
00:01:31Then, the judges decide who earns the final spots in the top 20.
00:01:36My favorite is over here.
00:01:38I will fight for her.
00:01:40You better get her right now.
00:01:42It gets to you that your journey could come to an end.
00:01:45Whose lives will change forever?
00:01:49From Alani, a Disney resort and spa in Koalina, Hawaii, this is American Idol.
00:02:12Please give me a warm welcome to my friend, Mr. Lionel O'Reilly.
00:02:18Let's keep it going for Mr. Lionel O'Reilly.
00:02:31Music is one of the most important parts of Hawaiian culture and our ohana, our families.
00:02:37Our ohana surround us with love in good times, in bad times.
00:02:44But you know what?
00:02:45There is no greater gift that you can give to our ohana than the gift of song.
00:02:54Enjoy, everyone.
00:02:55Aloha.
00:03:00Not a bad day at the offense.
00:03:08My name is Jordan McCullough.
00:03:10I'm 27, and I'm from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
00:03:13It's mesmerizing to watch you.
00:03:15Oh, my God.
00:03:17We are in Hawaii.
00:03:18What is that?
00:03:19We're going from pine trees to palm trees, okay?
00:03:22This is different.
00:03:22All right, y'all, close your eyes now.
00:03:25It was only one show we came here for the night.
00:03:30I would not be sitting here today if it wasn't for my entire family, mom, dad, grandma, uncles,
00:03:36cousins, cousins, to show up to places that I needed to perform or sing at.
00:03:41Now I get to live my dream.
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:45Wow.
00:03:46That's crazy.
00:03:49Jesus, I've been crying this entire time.
00:03:53Dang it.
00:03:56Man, it's going to mean so much to look out and see my family, mom and dad there.
00:04:02Tonight, I dedicate this song as a tribute to my family.
00:04:05When I think of this song, I think of protection.
00:04:07I think of love and care.
00:04:09And so, here's Grandma's Hands.
00:04:11Oh, my God.
00:04:13It's a great song.
00:04:18Oh, my God.
00:04:22Grandma's Hands
00:04:23Claped in church on Sunday morning
00:04:28Grandma's Hands
00:04:29Played a tambourine so well
00:04:34Grandma's Hands
00:04:35Used to issue out a warning, she said
00:04:39Baby, Grandma understands
00:04:42That you really love that man
00:04:45Put yourself in Jesus' hands
00:04:49Grandma's Hands
00:04:51Can we take it up a little higher, man?

00:05:03A piece of candy
00:05:06Rainbow's Hands

00:05:11She said
00:05:12Maddie, don't chill with that boy

00:11:15It is not about the little things that

00:11:20It really is how you shove it aside and finish strong.
00:11:25That's it.

00:11:29Way to finish strong.

00:12:00I'm looking forward to this guy.
00:12:02He can sing.
00:12:03What's up, everybody?
00:12:04My name is Lucas Leon.
00:12:06I'm 18.
00:12:06I'm going to be singing The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert.
00:12:09My parents are here tonight.
00:12:12And they're who really built me.
00:12:14This one goes out to my family.
00:12:21You know they say you can't go home again.
00:12:28Oh, I just had to come back one last time.
00:12:33Ma'am.
00:12:34Ma'am, I know you don't know me for matter.
00:12:39But these handprints on the front steps are mine.
00:12:45I thought if I could touch this place or a feeling.
00:12:51This brokenness inside might start healing.
00:12:56You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can.
00:13:02Yeah, yeah.
00:13:03I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am.
00:13:14I thought if I could touch this place or a feeling.
00:13:21This brokenness inside me might start healing.
00:13:26Yeah, yeah.
00:13:27I'll hear it till I come to someone else.
00:13:30I thought that maybe I could find myself.
00:13:38If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave.
00:13:44Won't sing nothing but a memory.
00:13:47From the house that built me.
00:13:56From the house that built me.
00:14:01Oh, my God.
00:14:06That was something.
00:14:08Thanks for touching the end.
00:14:10Now that was something.
00:14:12That's a true vocalist.
00:14:14I mean, you're so in control of your instrument.
00:14:17It's kind of mind-blowing.
00:14:19Thank you very much.
00:14:20And you have a really beautiful, just soft, sweet spot in your voice
00:14:25that I feel like just draws everybody in.
00:14:28So I would love to hear more of that.
00:14:31Yes, ma'am.
00:14:32There you go.
00:14:33There you go.
00:14:34Amazing.
00:14:37That song is just, it's such a sweet song and it means so much.
00:14:41And yeah, it was, it was beautiful.
00:14:45Just knowing that his parents are here, hearing it.
00:14:48This is really special.
00:14:50This is really special.
00:14:50I know.
00:14:50I can't.
00:14:52All right, folks.
00:14:52Here we go.
00:14:53Take your lockups, please.
00:14:54Stand by.
00:14:57What's up, guys?
00:14:58My name is Keela Richardson.
00:15:00I'm singing A Thousand Years by Christina Perry.
00:15:03Dedicating it to my lovely son.
00:15:04I want to let him know no matter how grown he gets, I'm going to love him forever.
00:15:09And every day we're getting one step closer to where we want to be.
00:15:30Sing it to me.
00:15:31Sing it to me.

00:16:21Cause I have loved you for a thousand years
00:16:26I love you for a thousand more
00:16:32And all alone I believe that I would find you
00:16:38I would find you brought too hard to be
00:16:40And I love you more than you
00:16:46I love you for a thousand more
00:17:06To have the gift of watching you and getting to watch him
00:17:11Like when I'm on stage and my boys are out there
00:17:13I don't know what they're doing
00:17:14And I feel like I just got a glimpse of what they might be doing
00:17:17Wow
00:17:18And it just made my mama heart so happy
00:17:21Your talent is limitless
00:17:25Thank you
00:17:25Thank you, thank you guys
00:17:29Wow
00:17:29Wow
00:17:31Every time I see him lay eyes on him while I'm singing on that stage
00:17:34I'm a huge man that gives me an extra boost
00:17:36If God willing, I hope I make it to the top 20
00:17:39This is too hard
00:17:43It's difficult
00:17:44People really stepped it up to, you know, superstar level
00:17:47Everyone is amazing
00:17:49Sometimes before you can watch someone fly
00:17:52You have to let them hit rock bottom
00:18:01Hello everybody, my name is Braden Rumfelt
00:18:04I'm 22 years old and I'm from Murphy, North Carolina
00:18:09I was standing by my window
00:18:14On a cold and cloudy day
00:18:17When I was a baby, my dad would sit musical instruments at the bottom of our cribs
00:18:24And he thought, like, you know, that was going to give us, like, these abilities, right?
00:18:28Which it might have, who knows?
00:18:29Will the circle be unbroken?
00:18:34Growing up in a family where it's cool to sing, you know, that's got me to this point
00:18:38If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here, much less going to Hawaii
00:18:44For you to get here is, um, it's powerful
00:18:49You let your light shine before the world
00:18:53In the sky, Lord, in the sky
00:19:05Some people live for the fortune
00:19:11Some people live just for the fame
00:19:16Some people think that the physical things define
00:19:24What's within
00:19:28And I've been there before
00:19:32And that life's so bored
00:19:35So full
00:19:37Of the superficial
00:19:40And some people want it all
00:19:44But I don't want nothing at all
00:19:47If it ain't you, baby
00:19:50If I ain't got you, baby
00:19:53Some people walk down the ridge
00:19:56Some just want everything
00:19:59But everything means nothing
00:20:02If I ain't got you, yeah
00:20:11Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:20:14Sing it
00:20:15Sing it
00:20:16If I ain't got you, you, you
00:20:18Some people want it all
00:20:21But I don't want nothing at all
00:20:24If it ain't you, baby
00:20:28If I ain't got you, baby
00:20:31If I ain't got you, baby
00:20:32Some people walk down the ridge
00:20:34Some just want everything
00:20:37But everything means nothing
00:20:41If I ain't got you
00:20:48Ooh
00:20:49Ooh
00:20:50Ooh
00:20:51Hi!
00:20:51Hi, hi, hi
00:20:54Hi Maddie
00:20:55You too
00:20:55Hi
00:20:56Ooh
00:21:00Kids singing
00:21:01I feel like I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time
00:21:07Your voice is just velvety and big
00:21:11You've got a lot of power in there
00:21:13And in all the right places
00:21:16It's good to see y'all again.
00:21:19You know, I like seeing this family and the connection is exact.
00:21:25That's exactly what I wanted to see was that.
00:21:27I thought he had really great control and power to his voice,
00:21:31but he hit a couple of rough notes.
00:21:34Here we go.
00:21:36Performing in front of the editor of Rolling Stone.
00:21:39Jeez Louise.
00:21:40There's so many other eyes on us who get a say in our future.
00:21:44It's a little frightening.
00:21:50I'm Hannah Harper from Southeast Missouri,
00:21:52and I'm going to sing a country classic that my grandpa used to sing
00:21:54to honor his musical legacy.
00:21:56I'm really excited about the Ohana Round to have the chance to honor my grandpa.
00:22:00He was a patriarch.
00:22:02So many branches of talented people that came from him.
00:22:05He played music until the day he died.
00:22:07Good music that we can all relate to as a family,
00:22:11and we all play together as it, and everybody likes it.
00:22:14Bluegrass and gospel.
00:22:16That's what keeps us together.
00:22:17The legacy that he left was such a strong impression on my life.
00:22:21I want to do the same for my kids.
00:22:24I wish my grandpa was here to hear it.
00:22:25My grandma's going to be here, and she's going to be so thrilled,
00:22:28because it was his favorite song.
00:22:29I know your life on earth was troubled, and only you could know the pain.
00:22:46You weren't afraid to face the devil.
00:22:56You were no stranger to the rain.
00:23:03Go rest high on that mountain.
00:23:13Son, your work on earth is done.
00:23:21Go to heaven.
00:23:26Go to heaven.
00:23:28Go to heaven, a shouting.
00:23:30Go to heaven.
00:23:31Love for the Father and the Son.
00:23:38Yeah.
00:23:39Go rest high on that mountain.
00:23:45I love her tones this morning.
00:24:27Gosh, there are so many parallels with your voice and Dolly and just, it's just so beautifully country.
00:24:36But just remember that key that you got to at the end and really live in that space because your
00:24:40voice really opened up there.
00:24:42You've got the goods and that was, your voice is so beautiful to me.
00:24:46Appreciate it, thank you.
00:24:48Got that straight, authentic mountain voice, boy.
00:24:53You can definitely see that she was missing something because she usually plays the guitar.
00:24:58But I don't know, I think she really delivered it and she felt like she was herself.
00:25:03I mean, obviously everybody can sing because they're here.
00:25:05But there's going to only be a handful that can make it to that star quality, you know?
00:25:10You're welcome. Say that again. What did you, what did you just, no, what did you just say? It was
00:25:13important.
00:25:14I said, would you go for the best singer or would you go for someone who you know would sell
00:25:19tickets, has a look and has a boast?
00:25:22These are the questions we have to ask ourselves.
00:25:24We're all together.
00:25:28We're all together.
00:25:31Hi, guys.
00:25:33My name is Genevieve Hayward.
00:25:35Today I will be singing your song by Elton John.
00:25:38I picked this song today because the last time that my father was in Hawaii, he was on leave from
00:25:44Vietnam.
00:25:45Give it up for my dad. Thank you for your service, Don.
00:25:47Um, if I could give you the world, I would, but for right now, I'm just going to start
00:25:54with a song.
00:25:59It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside, I'm not one of those who can easily hide.
00:26:14I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live.
00:26:31If I was a scolder, then again, no, or a man who makes potions in a trap.
00:26:46I love that choice.
00:26:48Wow.
00:26:49That was so unexpected.
00:26:50That's what I can do.
00:26:53My gift is my song, and this one's for you.
00:26:59Oh, and you can tell everybody that this is your song.
00:27:10It may be quite simple, but now that it's done.
00:27:17I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put you down in the world.
00:27:27Sing it.
00:27:29Wow, wow, wow.
00:27:31What a beautiful life is while you're in the world.
00:27:46What a beautiful life is while you're in the world.
00:28:07Wow.
00:28:08Wow.
00:28:08Wow.
00:28:08Wow.
00:28:08Wow.
00:28:08Wow.
00:28:08Listen, I always go for the rocker girls, and she nailed it.
00:28:13I really liked her energy.
00:28:14I loved her grit.
00:28:16I, like, honestly am, like, not an emotional person, but, like, I thought about my mom and
00:28:20dad and just, like, how they've literally been there for me since day one.
00:28:23And, well, it's okay.
00:28:26Woo!
00:28:28Those parents are having to be extra-parental today.
00:28:31Oh, my God.
00:28:33Hi, everyone.
00:28:34My name is Abayami Lewis, and I will be singing Rise Up by Andra Day.
00:28:38I'm doing this song for my mother.
00:28:41She is a single parent, and life is not easy being a single parent.
00:28:45She has taught me to rise up against all things that I'm dealing with, and it inspires me.
00:28:51I know I can rise up.
00:28:53We will rise.
00:28:55We will rise.
00:28:57We will rise up.
00:29:00Oh, we will rise.
00:29:07We will rise.
00:29:08Yeah, we will rise up.
00:29:11We will rise like the dawn, I will rise up.
00:29:15Rise of the brave, I will rise up.
00:29:19And I'll do it a thousand times again
00:29:25For you, for you, for you
00:29:36For you, for you, we'll rise
00:29:50Thank you
00:29:55Thank you
00:29:57Guzi, come on
00:30:00She's frickin' 16 and she's like a Disney star, you know what I mean?
00:30:05And for a singer to have like that big belt and a beautiful head voice like that is so rare
00:30:11If the tide takes California
00:30:16I'm so glad I got to hold you
00:30:20My family has always been by my side throughout my entire music journey
00:30:24So it's really exciting to do this Ohana rap
00:30:37My parents have always sacrificed so much time and everything for this and it means so much to me that
00:30:43they're here right now and doing all of this, it really means a lot
00:30:45If the tide takes California
00:30:50I'm so glad I got to know ya
00:30:54And if the sky falls from heaven above
00:30:59Oh, I know I had the best time falling into love
00:31:09And for a while you were all mine
00:31:14I spent a lifetime giving you my heart
00:31:18I swear that I'll be yours forever
00:31:20I'll be yours forever
00:31:22I'll be yours forever
00:31:28I'll be yours forever
00:31:30I'll be yours forever
00:31:30Till forever falls apart
00:31:35I'll be yours forever
00:31:38Thank you so much
00:31:42Breath of fresh air
00:31:47How many are we getting enough tonight?
00:31:49So there's 30 and we have to get down to 20
00:31:52Oh, 10. Oh, God
00:31:54Yeah
00:31:54Here we go, folks, stand by.
00:31:56I'm worried.
00:31:57There's a lot of talented people that are in this group.
00:32:00Let's please give it up for Brian Thomas.
00:32:06I can't point a finger at anyone I don't think
00:32:08is gonna make it to the top 20, which makes it so scary.
00:32:12This next song goes out to all the people
00:32:14that we've had to leave behind in order to pursue our dreams.
00:32:18For this round, I'll be singing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
00:32:21This song is kind of about change.
00:32:23I just recently moved to South Florida
00:32:26in the pursuit of love.
00:32:27I can hardly see anyone now.
00:32:29I kind of lost my family.
00:32:31It's just one of those seasons of life.
00:32:34Hey, bud. I'm super proud of you.
00:32:38I know how you've been dreaming about this your whole life,
00:32:42having you here, and just getting to spend the time.
00:32:50I miss you.
00:32:52I miss you.
00:32:54I miss being home.
00:32:56I love you with all my heart.
00:32:57You do.
00:33:06Well, I've been afraid of changing
00:33:12Cause I've built my life around you
00:33:21But time made you older
00:33:25Even children get older
00:33:29And I'm getting older too
00:33:36So take my love, take it down
00:33:45Come the mountain and turn around
00:33:50And if you see my reflection
00:33:55In a snow-colored hell
00:34:04Maybe the landslide will bring it down
00:34:10Oh, the landslide brought me down
00:34:26Thank you guys.
00:34:28Wow. Wow.
00:34:31Brian, well, before you sing, I know talking to your family and telling them how much you love them
00:34:37Is emotional. We still got to remember I got a song to deliver and I got to make sure I'm
00:34:43knocking this thing out start to finish.
00:34:45Now, you're one of my favorite voices, but it got a little screamy a little bit. So just curve down
00:34:52some of that over raspy, gravelly stuff.
00:34:55Thank you so much.
00:34:58I was trying my hardest to get through this song and that just wasn't what the judges were looking for
00:35:03this round.
00:35:03He was trying real hard. He doesn't need to. He did a really good job.
00:35:08I'm glad my dad got to see it because it might have been my last performance of the idol.
00:35:18Welcome back to Idol's Ohana Round, where Ray is hoping to make it to America's vote.
00:35:23I was looking at the camera and I was like, this is so giving Love Island confessional.
00:35:28It is.
00:35:29Hi, everyone. My name is Ray. I'm going to be singing I'll Be There by the Jackson Five.
00:35:35Yes. I wanted to dedicate this song to my sister, my heart, my soul, everything.
00:35:42My sister Jamie is one of the most important people in my life.
00:35:45She's the only person that really understands me and what I'm going through.
00:35:51I just love you so much and this is for you. My promise to you that I'll always be there
00:35:55for you.
00:35:56So sweet.
00:35:58A sister's love. Ain't nothing like a sister's love now.
00:36:01You and I must make a pact. We must bring salvation back.
00:36:13Okay.
00:36:14Where there is love, I'll be there.
00:36:24Oh my God.
00:36:26I'll be there to come for you.
00:36:27I'll reach out my hand to you.
00:36:30Come on, girl.
00:36:32I'll have faith in all you do.
00:36:37You better sing the song, then.
00:36:39Where there is love, I'll be there.
00:36:49I'll be there to come for you.
00:36:54There's no world of dreams around you.
00:36:58I'm so glad I found you, baby.
00:37:01What is going on?
00:37:02I'll be there with the love so strong.
00:37:06I'll be there with the love.
00:37:15There you go.
00:37:19There you go.
00:37:20I'll be there, yeah.
00:37:28I'll be there.
00:37:37There you go.
00:37:48Sing it, baby.
00:37:49I think America's gonna be there.
00:37:51I think so.
00:37:53You always just command the stage so perfectly, such confidence.
00:37:58And I tell you, you are one of our exceptional voices that we have.
00:38:04It's just really awesome to watch you be able to tell your sister how much you love her,
00:38:10and you are a serious contender.
00:38:12That was a great performance.
00:38:14Thank you so much.
00:38:17I love my sister so much.
00:38:19Seeing her just gave me all the nerves went away.
00:38:22She came out, handbrakes off, no stops, just went in, and I loved it.
00:38:26Love it.
00:38:27So good.
00:38:31Thank you guys so much.
00:38:33I'm Jake Thistle from New Jersey, and I'm playing a song called Sleep On Me, which is an original.
00:38:37It was really important for me to play an original during this round because my parents and my family have
00:38:41always been really supportive of me writing songs.
00:38:45When I was really young, a family friend played guitar, and he gave me one because I was a toddler
00:38:50and it made noise.
00:38:52I started gigging when I was nine years old, and my parents drove me to every gig until I could
00:38:56get my license.
00:38:57It meant a lot to have that foundation.
00:38:59They're not here physically with me in Hawaii, but my parents do know that I'm dedicating this song to them.
00:39:03It's gonna be really special.
00:39:05These hours aren't meant for conversation time.
00:39:09Well, I'm confident.
00:39:11Yep.
00:39:12It's too soon for tomorrow, and too late for tonight.
00:39:16That's why I'm shaking and pacing like I forgot my life.
00:39:23I wrote the show, and I've lived the life.
00:39:28The sky looks so vacant on these kind of nights.
00:39:38It's gone when you're placing your cautious hand in mine.
00:39:49Forever maintaining the illusion that we are gonna be alright.
00:40:00So sleep on me, sleep on me, one day I'm gonna get it right.
00:40:06So sleep on me, sleep on, I'ma make it up to your kind of guy.
00:40:12Trying to be, trying to be, someone who you like.
00:40:18Oh, sleep on me, sleep on, I'ma make it up to your kind of guy.
00:40:24Hey.
00:40:27Wow.
00:40:27Thank you so much.
00:40:29I appreciate it.
00:40:30I felt like I was at his show.
00:40:31I love it.
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:32All right, Jake.
00:40:33So you know you took a big chance.
00:40:36Keep those vocals, just as you started out at the beginning, strong.
00:40:40Keep it all the way through.
00:40:42But as a songwriter to a songwriter, you did well.
00:40:45Thank you so much.
00:40:46Really kind of you guys.
00:40:51You could hear him in a studio and like.
00:40:54Lock him right there.
00:40:56It's like watching young Bruce Springsteen.
00:40:59There you go.
00:40:59Paul Simon.
00:41:00There you go.
00:41:01I don't know, he ain't the artist.
00:41:03He's an artist.
00:41:04Sleep on me, sleep on me.
00:41:10I can't see.
00:41:10I can't see.
00:41:11I like this.
00:41:22I'm Brooks.
00:41:23I'm from Bel Air, Maryland.
00:41:25I'm going to be singing Everywhere Everything because family is everywhere and they mean everything.
00:41:36I love this song.
00:41:41Two bodies riddled with scars from our pretense.
00:41:49And you're twine in a car's dirty bike seat.
00:41:53Stare at a driving screen now.
00:41:59It's been a long year.
00:42:02And all of our books pages dog year.
00:42:07We write out the ends of our wrong steer.
00:42:12And forget to read.
00:42:16He said one of the most unique voices I've ever heard in my life.
00:42:20Yet the sun was collapsing.
00:42:26Until the seas rose.
00:42:29And the buildings came crashing.
00:42:37Everywhere everything.
00:42:40When I love you till we're food for the worms to eat.
00:42:44Till our fingers decompose.
00:42:48Keep my hands in yours.
00:42:52Keep my hands in yours.
00:42:54Yes!
00:42:55Try slowly.
00:42:57You know every route in this county.
00:43:01Maybe that ain't such a bad thing.
00:43:06Tell you where not to speak.
00:43:13Everywhere everything
00:43:15I love you till we're food for the world to eat
00:43:20Till our fingers decompose
00:43:25Keep our hands in yours
00:43:32Keep my hands in yours
00:43:46Every time you open your mouth and sing
00:43:48I want more
00:43:49I feel like we've seen you already
00:43:52Like kind of stepping in
00:43:53Getting a little more confidence in yourself
00:43:56Just keep leaning into that
00:43:57And it's so fun to watch
00:43:59And it's so fun to listen to
00:44:00Thank you so much
00:44:13I'm obsessed with him
00:44:15So unassuming
00:44:16And I watched this crowd over here
00:44:18They weren't expecting that
00:44:19What kind of alien unexpected crazy voice was that
00:44:23Where did that voice come from
00:44:26I've never heard a tone like that
00:44:32Welcome back
00:44:34As our Ohana round continues
00:44:36Lionel checks in on the families
00:44:38I love watching this boy
00:44:40I don't
00:44:41It's just agonizing his parents
00:44:43Who might be struggling with tonight's decision
00:44:45To award one platinum ticket
00:44:48I don't know what y'all are going through
00:44:49But hang in there y'all
00:44:51I know
00:44:52They're all doing so incredible
00:44:54Yeah
00:44:54Everyone's doing amazing
00:45:10You better sing it
00:45:12You better sing it
00:45:13Thank you so much
00:45:14Great big boy
00:45:14Love you
00:45:15Well we are keeping tabs on everybody
00:45:17On that piece of paper
00:45:18So we're going to vote based on our notes
00:45:21We're very serious
00:45:22I'll tell you
00:45:23It's very difficult
00:45:24And the second platinum ticket decision
00:45:27Belongs to the industry experts
00:45:30The truth is
00:45:30Everybody deserves a shot
00:45:32The talent is so high
00:45:33That everyone literally deserves this
00:45:35But who are we going to give it to
00:45:37It ain't about how fast I get there
00:45:41It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
00:46:00The third platinum ticket will be chosen by the idols themselves
00:46:04I just see exceptional talent and I just don't know how I'm going to narrow that down at all
00:46:11I don't I don't know
00:46:12When everything's meant to be bold
00:46:16I just want you to know who I am
00:46:21I just want you to know who I am
00:46:27I just want you to know
00:46:33Who I am
00:46:47Who I am
00:46:50It feels insane to be in the top 30
00:46:52there's a lot of pressure knowing that 10 people are gonna go home one two yeah
00:46:57sounds good my dad for this round suggested photograph by Ed Sheeran Ed
00:47:01Sheeran has always been one of my favorite singers he had a stutter when
00:47:04he was younger and he's been super open about it it's crazy it's like the perfect
00:47:08song I relate to it in so many ways I'm dedicating this song to my grandpa he
00:47:15passed away six years ago but he was a photographer and he spent so much of his
00:47:19life capturing the most important moments of other people's lives I just
00:47:26felt like I could really be myself around him and we could laugh with each other
00:47:33even though he can't be here taking pictures of me I know he's watching right
00:47:38now looking back at photos of him reminds me of the love that my whole family
00:47:42shared with him I'm gonna be thinking about him and just reminding the world
00:47:46that how how great he was
00:47:56loving can hurt
00:48:01loving can hurt sometimes
00:48:05it is the only thing that I know
00:48:13it is the only thing that makes us feel alive
00:48:23we keep this love in a photograph
00:48:28we make his memories for ourselves
00:48:32when our eyes are never closing hearts are never broken
00:48:37time's forever frozen still
00:48:41so you can keep me inside the pocket of your ripped cheese

00:50:45I know what the sacrifice is to be here

00:50:52I actually haven't had family with me in a long time
00:50:55on this music journey of mine

00:51:21thank you for having me
00:51:22and thank you for being my little family here with me
00:51:30I'm singing to build a home by Patrick Watson
00:51:33it's about building that home for yourself
00:51:35that place where you don't feel alone
00:51:38I think a big reason why I've come to American Idol
00:51:40is that I've found that for myself
00:51:42I've built my own Ohana
00:51:43so it feels like the perfect song to celebrate everyone that's made that happen
00:51:47there is a house built out of stone
00:51:53oh this is a place where I
00:52:00I don't feel alone
00:52:03oh this is a place where I feel at home
00:52:23oh this is a place where I'm here
00:52:37oh this is a place where they are
00:52:39oh this is a place where I'm here
00:52:51Oh, yeah.
00:52:54Oh, yeah.

00:53:56I'm so sorry.
00:53:58You good?
00:53:59Yeah, I'm good.
00:54:00I'm good.
00:54:02It's okay.
00:54:02You have so much talent and range and power in your vocals.
00:54:09I feel like your brain just gets in the way.
00:54:12I feel like you're kind of building up some walls in front of us every time you sing.
00:54:19But you don't need to do that because you're enough.
00:54:24You're here.
00:54:26That was some words of wisdom right there.
00:54:29It's just going to be a mind game I have to kind of work through.
00:54:33I don't know.
00:54:34The industry's been really nasty to me.
00:54:36I've had to put walls up for a long time.
00:54:40I think that what is going to come out of this experience for him, he'll actually find himself.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:54:48Carrie, that was good.
00:54:49You better preach.
00:54:50That was so good.
00:54:50That was deep.
00:54:56All right, folks.
00:54:57Here we go.
00:54:57Yeah.
00:55:03My name is Julian Kalel.
00:55:04I'm 19 years old from El Paso, Texas, and I wrote this song called Surrender.
00:55:09I auditioned with this song for my very, very first audition.
00:55:12My family was there.
00:55:14Feels like it was only yesterday that I was in that room with those judges.
00:55:17When I wrote the song Surrender, I was really, really down.
00:55:22So I went to my dad and he told me that anxiety, the fear, whatever's out of your control,
00:55:28let it stay out of your control.
00:55:29It's not worth your fear.
00:55:31He was the one that said, surrender.
00:55:34Surrender those feelings.
00:55:36Not only were we able to help him reach lighter place, it actually turned into a song.
00:55:43I don't know why.
00:55:48To see him arrive on this stage, this is everything that we've prayed for.
00:55:56I just want to dedicate this song to you, Papa.
00:55:59Thank you for always being by my side through my absolute worst and my best.
00:56:03I love you.
00:56:04And I love you.
00:56:05Love you, Michael.
00:56:06Bye.
00:56:07We kissed the cross.
00:56:12Mu
00:56:25There's a hole in my chest.
00:56:30Knock me down, lay me to rest.
00:56:35Drown my thoughts with kerosene
00:56:40Bring my fears to my soul
00:56:45Tired of fighting, tired of keeping up inside
00:56:49Now I'm a couple ties in, memories are turning back
00:56:53So I surrender
00:56:57If you want to die, waves always apply
00:57:01But fate is an incense, oh I'm tired of death
00:57:08So I'll let it go, my soul and all that's left
00:57:12But I hope I pass your test
00:57:16I'll be gone without a sound
00:57:19When my heart fails me and I'm not around
00:57:22I'm holding on the paths I used to cross
00:57:27Something stops me, guess I've found
00:57:30The stories end, it's all clear now
00:57:33The only feeling bigger than love is lost
00:57:36So I surrender
00:57:40If it's all that I've waste, always apply
00:57:44But fate is in its hands
00:57:47You know I'm tired as ever
00:57:49I'm tired as ever
00:57:55Oh, I surrender
00:58:00Oh, I surrender
00:58:09That's an artist
00:58:11That is an artist
00:58:12Bravo!
00:58:14Wow!
00:58:15Bravissimo!
00:58:16You're so solid, I mean, I've heard you do that song before
00:58:21And the fact that you've written that song
00:58:23Just even some of the changes in the core progression
00:58:26Are so mature and far beyond your age
00:58:30And you just got the star magic
00:58:33One of my favorite performances of the night
00:58:35Yeah
00:58:35Love you
00:58:36Thank you so much
00:58:37Thank you
00:58:38To get the opportunity to even play that song
00:58:40On a stage like this
00:58:42I'm just glad that I never gave up
00:58:43It's come full circle
00:58:45For him to share it with his sister
00:58:46Just made it all the more special
00:58:49It just makes me so, so thankful
00:58:52To be loved by my parents and my family
00:58:54And I'm just so grateful
00:59:02Just beeping
00:59:03Hold on one second
00:59:04Takes me back to the construction days
00:59:08Back it up
00:59:09My name's Cutter Bradley
00:59:11I'm from Florence, Alabama
00:59:12Florence, Alabama
00:59:13I know where you're from
00:59:14I used to be a welder and a machinist
00:59:16So I went to college for that
00:59:18I've worked many jobs
00:59:20From carpentry, welding, to construction
00:59:23But music, ever since I did music
00:59:25Something was just poking at me
00:59:27Like I gotta see how far I can take it
00:59:29I'll be singing some Jason Aldean
00:59:31Amarillo Sky
00:59:32And the reason I picked that song
00:59:34Is because it's a song about hard work
00:59:36Dedicating it to my parents right here
00:59:37Because they showed me what hard work is
00:59:39And it's rubbed off on me
00:59:41Because I'm hard working for my dreams right now
00:59:45That's right
00:59:48This is that tempo I was hoping for
00:59:50I love it
00:59:51It gets up before the dawn
00:59:54Backs and lunch and thermos full of coffee
01:00:00It's another day in the dusty haze
01:00:03Burning rays are wearing down his body
01:00:09Peace is worth the price of gold
01:00:12It's the cheapest thing he's ever sold
01:00:16Come on now
01:00:17He's still holding on
01:00:20Just takes a tractor another round
01:00:24Pulls a plow across the ground
01:00:27He sends up another prayer
01:00:31He sends up another prayer
01:00:32He says, Lord, I never complain
01:00:34I never ask why
01:00:36Please don't let my dreams run dry
01:00:41Underneath, underneath this Amarillo sky
01:00:47Oh miils, la-na-na-na in the dusty haze
01:00:50awe-na out
01:00:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh gold
01:00:51And it's a tractor another round
01:00:54Another round
01:00:55Another round
01:00:56Another round
01:00:57Another round
01:00:57And it takes a tractor
01:00:58Another round
01:01:00Another round
01:01:01Another round
01:01:02Come on, haze
01:01:03I never took plane, I never asked why.
01:01:06Gazed on that, my dreams are all dry.
01:01:11Gonna need, gonna need these Samarillo skies.
01:01:20Thank y'all.
01:01:25Great song choice for you.
01:01:27And I tell you, rocking overalls in Hawaii.
01:01:30I tell you what, that's pretty amazing.
01:01:33You really impressed me with where you went vocally.
01:01:36I enjoyed it, great job.
01:01:38Thank you so much, thank y'all.
01:01:41Taking the part, playing it, swinging it around,
01:01:43and then going out to the audience, I was like,
01:01:46hey, I see you, I see you.
01:01:48Somebody crushing down there?
01:01:50Yes.
01:01:52Yeah, Carrie's crushing too.
01:01:53I said no.
01:01:54I see where you're coming from, and you are correct, ma'am.
01:02:00With the added pressure of not only the judges,
01:02:02but also the industry experts deciding their fate,
01:02:06the weight of the moment is getting to some.
01:02:09The industry experts are gonna be voting for us, which is scary.
01:02:13She was missing, was a little bit of confidence.
01:02:15You can tell she's one of the younger performers.
01:02:17She doesn't have the experience.
01:02:18There'll absolutely be more pressure.
01:02:21I thought she was a superstar.
01:02:22I agree.
01:02:25That's a steal wrong.
01:02:27It's super scary to know that they're gonna be watching and judging.
01:02:30It looked like she was a little bored.
01:02:33Oh, my God.
01:02:33What are you talking about?
01:02:35Oh, my goodness.
01:02:36That was storytelling.
01:02:38I wish she would have looked over here,
01:02:40but I thought she brought the power to the song.
01:02:43That was beautiful.
01:02:44Okay.
01:02:44The way she said it sounds better than you say.
01:02:48I said what you said.
01:02:49Definitely gotta bring my A-game.
01:02:51I gotta, you know, I gotta do something.
01:02:54You got it, Mike.
01:02:57I don't know.
01:02:58If you got a chance, take it.
01:03:03Take it while you got a chance.
01:03:07You gotta dream, chase it.
01:03:10Cause a dream won't chase you back.
01:03:13You're gonna love somebody.
01:03:16Hold on as long and strong.
01:03:18As close as you can.
01:03:20Until you can.
01:03:23You're just a baby.
01:03:25It just felt like it was, something was a little off.
01:03:28Maybe it wasn't his best performance.
01:03:30I was seeing, like, a country Bieber with the, you know, the little hair flip.
01:03:37Yes!
01:03:37Yes!
01:03:39That's exactly right!
01:03:41Shirley, the co-editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone, is gonna be here.
01:03:45I am, like, freaking out.
01:03:50Hi, everyone.
01:03:51My name is Kendall.
01:03:51And today I'm actually singing a song that I wrote.
01:03:55It's called Woman of Me.
01:03:57I wrote it for my mom.
01:03:58I can't look at her too long or I will immediately cry.
01:04:01My mom is my favorite person in the whole entire world.
01:04:04She has been a backbone and just a rock in my life.
01:04:11But growing up, we had a tendency to clash.
01:04:15I was a pretty rebellious kid.
01:04:16Like, I started hanging around with the wrong people, dropped out of school, moved all the
01:04:20way to the other side of the country in L.A.
01:04:23I needed to go and explore the world and learn and fall flat on my face.
01:04:28And I'm sure that, like, I'm sure that really broke her heart, you know?
01:04:37Whoa.
01:04:39I think that sometimes before you can watch someone fly, you have to let them hit rock
01:04:45bottom.
01:04:45And it was the hardest thing that I've ever done.
01:04:48She was 18 years old and she needed to go.
01:04:52She needed to figure it out.
01:04:55Having a mother that loved me enough to let me go but be standing there with open arms
01:05:02when I ran back is a gratitude I can't fully even express.
01:05:09And so I tried with this song.
01:05:11And I just, I really want to honor her with this.
01:05:14I really want her to understand just how special she is to me.
01:05:25I'm the daughter of a God-fearing woman Countless nights she probably laid there awake
01:05:34To her surprise I did everything I shouldn't on a woman
01:05:41Both hearts would break
01:05:45From time to time there's a look in her eyes
01:05:51She didn't think she did it right
01:05:54Oh, God.
01:05:57She was the light when there was no light I could see
01:06:01Gave me a reason to fight
01:06:06She wiped my eyes when the world turned its back on me
01:06:12Taught me all my wrong from rights
01:06:15I could have made all my thanks in a bottle
01:06:22It'd break before drifting to a sea
01:06:26She was a girl before she was a woman
01:06:32Now she's made a woman of me
01:06:36Oh, God.
01:06:38Oh, God.
01:06:38Very good.
01:06:39She wiped my eyes when the world turned its back on me
01:06:44Taught me all my wrong from rights
01:06:48I could have made all of my thanks in a bottle
01:06:54It'd break before drifting to a sea
01:06:58She was a girl before she was a woman
01:07:04Now she's made a woman
01:07:07She's made a woman
01:07:10She's made a woman
01:07:13Of me
01:07:20That songwriting is incredible
01:07:24Oh, Kendall
01:07:25I just want to hear more of your songs
01:07:29You're such a great storyteller
01:07:31Thank you
01:07:31And you have the voice to back it all up
01:07:35So if this was truly a moment meant for you right now
01:07:40Thank you so much
01:07:41Thank you
01:07:47Perfect. No complaint. That's my American Idol
01:07:50I'm so proud of her
01:07:53I couldn't even look at my mom
01:07:54Like I knew I would cry
01:07:56But she was right there on my heart
01:07:58And I just like felt her
01:07:59And that was such a special moment
01:08:01I wish I could do it again and again and again
01:08:09Give it up for Phil and Lee
01:08:16I'll be singing All I Want by Codaline
01:08:18Dedicated to my great-grandmother
01:08:21Her name was Mama Rice to me
01:08:22But to everybody else she was Nancy
01:08:24The song that he picked
01:08:25It means a lot to the family
01:08:28She was a huge supporter of me
01:08:30And this is one of the songs
01:08:32This is one of the songs
01:08:33She loved for me to sing to her
01:08:35I sung it in hospice
01:08:37Unfortunately before she passed away
01:08:39So hopefully y'all like it
01:08:42All right, all right
01:08:44Wow, yeah
01:08:50All I want is nothing more
01:08:56To hear you knocking at my door
01:09:03Cause if I could see your face once more
01:09:08I could die a happy man I'm sure
01:09:14And if you love me
01:09:19Why'd you leave me?
01:09:24Take my body
01:09:27Take my body
01:09:31And all I want is
01:09:35And all I need is
01:09:40To find somebody
01:09:42I'll find somebody
01:09:48Like you
01:09:54If you love me
01:09:58If you love me
01:10:00Why'd you leave me
01:10:02Take my body
01:10:05Take my body
01:10:10And all I want is
01:10:14And all I need is
01:10:18Find somebody
01:10:21I'll find somebody
01:10:27Like you
01:10:36I love you, boy
01:10:39I love you, boy
01:10:45Wow
01:10:46Wow
01:10:47He's getting himself proud there, buddy
01:10:48Powerful place
01:10:49And he's so sweet
01:10:50Yeah, he is
01:10:51He's got that grit
01:10:52Teddy Swims
01:10:53Chris Stapleton
01:10:54You just took us on a journey
01:10:56You brought us in
01:10:57When it was meant to feel intense
01:11:00And then on the soaring notes
01:11:03You kind of took us to this whole other place
01:11:05Where we could just kind of feel that swell
01:11:07That's a gift
01:11:09Great job
01:11:10Thank you, God
01:11:10Thank you so much
01:11:12I realized his voice could go that high for that long
01:11:16Oh, my gosh
01:11:17To be able to take a song that is usually taken in a completely different direction and bring it here
01:11:22Was magic
01:11:24So proud of it
01:11:27I can't talk right now, I can't even breathe
01:11:30That was amazing
01:11:32To make it to the top 30, it feels like incredible
01:11:38You are meant to be here
01:11:40Thank you
01:11:40I'm just enjoying it and soaking it in every which way
01:11:43You looking for me?
01:11:44For the old home around, I picked Stand Up by Cynthia Erivo
01:11:47I will dedicate this song today to my lovely mother
01:11:51That's in the audience over here to the side
01:11:53My mom, she has always stood up for me
01:11:57She has always paved the way for me
01:11:59Been there every step of the way
01:12:01I had Micaiah, when I was at college, single mom
01:12:06And so there were times where I didn't know how I was going to do some things
01:12:12We would come home from school
01:12:14And then we would go to my grandparents' house and eat dinner
01:12:16I didn't know then as a child
01:12:18That was solely because we didn't have food
01:12:22Everybody hits rough spots, but I hit a rough one
01:12:25It was a really dark time
01:12:27For her to allow me to solely be a child
01:12:31And have no worries
01:12:33She never let us see her suffer
01:12:39When my mom hears me perform this song
01:12:42I hope she feels that I will always be here for her
01:12:46Through every step of the way, the same way she was there for me
01:12:49And that one day, this all will pay off
01:12:52I've been walking
01:12:56With my face turned to the sun
01:13:02It can be
01:13:04Oh, I got eyes in the back of my head
01:13:09Just in case I have to run
01:13:12It's about to get dirty
01:13:15It's about to get dirty
01:13:16Watch the clouds roll back
01:13:19And the stars fill the night
01:13:22That's when I want to stand up
01:13:26Take my people with me
01:13:29Together we are going
01:13:32To a brand new home
01:13:39And I know
01:13:41And I know
01:13:43What's around the bend
01:13:46Might be hard
01:13:48To face
01:13:49Cause I'm alone
01:13:51And I just might know
01:13:55But Lord knows I tried
01:13:59Should I feel the
01:14:06I know
01:14:09Take my people with me
01:14:11Together we are going
01:14:14To a brand new home
01:14:18Far across the river
01:14:21And you hear freedom calling
01:14:24Calling me to rest
01:14:27And we're gonna keep on keeping on
01:14:30I can feel it in my heart
01:14:36I can feel it in my heart
01:14:43I can feel it in my heart
01:14:45In my heart
01:14:49Woo!
01:14:50Woo!
01:14:51Woo!
01:14:51Woo!
01:14:51Woo!
01:14:51See the show now!
01:14:53Woo!
01:14:53Woo!
01:14:54You got my seeing it baby
01:14:55Woo!
01:14:57Woo!
01:14:57Woo!
01:15:00Micaiah came here to kill.
01:15:03It was so emotional.
01:15:04It showed everybody what you can do.
01:15:07It had southern moments.
01:15:08It had southern gospel moments.
01:15:10It had uplifting moments.
01:15:12And really way to step out there
01:15:14and show us a whole other level of what you can do.
01:15:16Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:15:23You guys just left it all out there on the stage.
01:15:26But I feel really good.
01:15:27And hopefully I get a platinum ticket tonight.
01:15:30What a way to close the show.
01:15:31She took me to church.
01:15:33She took me to church.
01:15:35I loved every second of it.
01:15:44Coming up.
01:15:45This is crazy.
01:15:46Who will survive to sing for your vote?
01:15:49Find out after the break.
01:15:52I really don't want to go home.
01:15:54Welcome back to American Idol's brand new Ohana round.
01:15:58All 30 of our Idol hopefuls have performed.
01:16:00And now it's time to whittle them down to the top 20
01:16:03who get the chance to sing for America's vote.
01:16:06I am nervous because everyone was impressive.
01:16:09I know you would see a lot of voices out there.
01:16:11I don't know. I don't know.
01:16:12But first, there are three platinum tickets up for grabs.
01:16:16And each one secures one of those spots.
01:16:20But for the first time ever, it's not the judges making the final call.
01:16:25The first will be chosen by the industry tastemakers.
01:16:29What's up, y'all?
01:16:30The second by the Ohana, the family members.
01:16:33A lot of powerhouses.
01:16:34And the third platinum ticket by their peers, our idol hopefuls.
01:16:39This is crazy.
01:16:40Now, the Ohana cannot vote for their own family members.
01:16:44And the idols cannot vote for themselves.
01:16:48It's really about whose performance moved them the most.
01:16:53It is a gut-wrenching decision to have to make.
01:16:57Whatever hit me in the heart, that's who I want.
01:16:59It's difficult.
01:17:00I mean, I think just people that really stepped it up to, you know, superstar level.
01:17:05As someone who's watched the show for so many seasons,
01:17:08who's written about it, who's covered it,
01:17:10being on this side is, it's really stressful.
01:17:13Seeing a baby.
01:17:14This is literally the hardest thing that I've ever done in my life,
01:17:17to have someone's career in your hands.
01:17:20But we're gonna make someone tonight.
01:17:23There we go.
01:17:25Which is also something to look forward to.
01:17:27We're making history up here, y'all.
01:17:30Okay.
01:17:31This is an unprecedented and first look
01:17:35at which contestants have the ability to move other people.
01:17:39So, let's reveal the results for our platinum ticket winners.
01:17:45First, as chosen by their peers,
01:17:48the idol platinum ticket goes to...
01:17:55Jordan!
01:17:56Congratulations, Jordan!
01:18:00You're incredible.
01:18:02I just had chills the whole time.
01:18:05Take a look at that, Jordan!
01:18:07That is yours.
01:18:08Congratulations.
01:18:09Good job.
01:18:11Way to go.
01:18:16All right.
01:18:17The next platinum ticket, chosen by Ohana, the family members,
01:18:21goes to...
01:18:25Brooks!
01:18:26Congratulations, Brooks!
01:18:29I have not heard a voice like this ever.
01:18:32You see the look on his face.
01:18:34You see the what?
01:18:34You see the what?
01:18:35Wow!
01:18:36You have earned this, my friend Brooks.
01:18:38Congratulations.
01:18:39Good job.
01:18:40What was that look on your face when we called your name?
01:18:43Surprised.
01:18:44Surprised.
01:18:46And finally, the industry platinum ticket goes to...
01:18:56Kindle.
01:19:02You've got artists written all over you, and I'm loving every minute of it.
01:19:05Congratulations, Kindle.
01:19:07That is yours right there.
01:19:09Let's hear it one more time for the platinum ticket winners.
01:19:18With the three platinum ticket spots safely secured, the judges must now choose the remaining
01:19:2417 hopefuls...
01:19:25This is going to be easy.
01:19:27...to complete our top 20.
01:19:29Who makes it through to America's vote?
01:19:32This is the worst part.
01:19:34It's not that we're eliminating people who can't sing.
01:19:38Right.
01:19:39No, they're here.
01:19:39We're now eliminating because they might fall in the same category.
01:19:43Like her?
01:19:44Yeah.
01:19:44Like her.
01:19:45I think she can go.
01:19:46I really hope I did good enough to make it to the top 20.
01:19:49I really don't want to go home.
01:19:51What about this one?
01:19:53Not his best.
01:19:54I'm very nervous right now to realize that your journey could come to an end.
01:19:58I feel like America's going to love him.
01:19:59I don't agree with you on that.
01:20:01Well, you're wrong.
01:20:02I'm definitely worried for this upcoming cut.
01:20:06Do we have our decision?
01:20:08We got it.
01:20:09Let's do it.
01:20:09Let's go tell him.
01:20:10Who's on to American Votes?
01:20:12Here we go.
01:20:14It's time for the judges to reveal who will join the platinum ticket holders in the top
01:20:2020.
01:20:21Well, this is the hardest part of the whole thing.
01:20:24And for anybody that doesn't make it through, we love you guys.
