00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I just, I'm capable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts, Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:14Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44this is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:49front row
00:01:52you should be very proud of how far you've come.
00:01:57but for now, your journey
00:02:02it's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:14So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap, how did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survived the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round,
00:02:30when the judges review all the performances in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:36It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end, and I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week, you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:01Every time it's the light
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing, but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger and when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:25I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:29The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32And now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me, so I can be far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.
00:04:06Please stay where you are.
00:04:11Don't come any closer.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:16Don't try to change my mind.
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind.
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark.
00:04:33It feels like we're oceans apart.
00:04:44There's so much space between us.
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated.
00:04:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:04:58Everything changed me.
00:05:02We're not the only ones.
00:05:05I don't regret a thing.
00:05:07Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean.
00:05:12It is the world to me that you are in my life.
00:05:16I want to live and not survive.
00:05:28That's why I can't love you in the dark.
00:06:08There's so many things I wanted to say
00:06:10that I was trying to kick you out of the room
00:06:11because I'm so jealous of you.
00:06:13But your first note,
00:06:15Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere.
00:06:18No kidding.
00:06:19And what a pro-dynamic of singing.
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life
00:06:27right now to be discovered on this platform.
00:06:30And I'm so excited to see your future.
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result,
00:06:40the spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls,
00:06:44including 29-year-old singer-songwriter,
00:06:46Kendall Inskeep.
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage,
00:06:50it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable.
00:06:52So it's such a challenge this week
00:06:54because you only have one shot
00:06:55to really be authentic to who you are.
00:06:58I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church,
00:07:04and we would sing together.
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from
00:07:09is my mom.
00:07:10I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville.
00:07:13I actually came to Belmont.
00:07:14Came here for maybe 60 days.
00:07:17But we are still alumni,
00:07:18and we're here for only 60 days.
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers.
00:07:25All right. Bye-bye.
00:07:26The song is a little bit more lively.
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand,
00:07:29so it's not really in my comfort zone.
00:07:32Um, how are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy.
00:07:35You're nervous?
00:07:35I get that a little bit.
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity
00:07:39for me to really show I can also be free-spirited
00:07:44and fun and joyful in my performance.
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage.
00:07:51Whoo!
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:08:00When the call came down to wind
00:08:03Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:07I was broad, but I was kind
00:08:11Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:21Clear your heart
00:08:25Cut the cord
00:08:27Are we here?
00:08:30Or are we dancers?
00:08:34My sign is vital
00:08:37My hands are cold
00:08:40And I'm on my knees
00:08:43Looking for the answer
00:08:46Are we human?
00:08:50Or are we dancers?
00:08:54Will your sister be alright
00:08:59When you held me down in line
00:09:01There's no message we're receiving
00:09:06Don't you know it's in your heart beating
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Or are we dancers?
00:09:18Or are we dancers?
00:09:19What's happening is vital
00:09:20My hands are cold
00:09:24And I'm on my knees
00:09:28Looking for the answer
00:09:32Are we human or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we human or are we dancers?
00:09:55You got such a cool voice, Kendall.
00:09:58Thank you so much.
00:09:59And I love how at this time you switched it up
00:10:01and you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03that it was a lot more energetic
00:10:06and you felt comfortable in both spaces.
00:10:08So I think you should be really proud of that.
00:10:11Thank you so much.
00:10:13I love her.
00:10:14I love her.
00:10:15That voice you got, oh my God, I love her.
00:10:17It's cool and she's comfortable.
00:10:18She's so comfortable.
00:10:20Oh, I can, I'm gonna cry because,
00:10:25I'm gonna cry because I just like
00:10:28I was so nervous going on.
00:10:30I'm very happy with the way that I just went.
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie to see
00:10:37if they've done enough to survive
00:10:39the first round of cuts.
00:10:41Would the following people please step forward?
00:10:45Jessie.
00:10:47Kendall.
00:10:50You are still in the running to become
00:10:52the next American Idol.
00:10:54No!
00:11:01You touched that.
00:11:03Tonight has just been the best night of my life.
00:11:07So proud of you, man.
00:11:08I just can't believe it.
00:11:10I'm so excited.
00:11:11I am so excited and I'm so grateful that this
00:11:15just happened right now.
00:11:20Tonight, the Hollywood Week Music City Takeover
00:11:23comes to a close.
00:11:25Music City, what's up, Nashville?
00:11:27It'll be anything but easy to get there.
00:11:30Everyone's fighting for their lives in here.
00:11:32I'm just not sure that was the right song.
00:11:33Bring it on!
00:11:35I love it!
00:11:36Your boobs are feeding me!
00:11:37Stay tuned to see more of your favorites.
00:11:40A voice that will become so recognizable
00:11:44in years to come.
00:11:45If you were thinking about winning,
00:11:47just keep doing that.
00:11:48And by the end of the night,
00:11:50your top 30 will be revealed.
00:11:52We got more bloodshed coming.
00:11:54We have some sing-offs.
00:12:01Carrie, how is Hollywood Week in Music City going?
00:12:04Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting
00:12:07and it's drama and it's stressful.
00:12:09It's very difficult because we got to get rid of
00:12:12so many wonderful kids, but I'm telling you,
00:12:14we're finding stars, stars.
00:12:17Are you guys ready?
00:12:18Everyone out here is mind-blowing,
00:12:20so my nerves are definitely, definitely up now.
00:12:24I never would have thought I'd be right here ever.
00:12:28It's just kind of a dream that I don't realize
00:12:30that I'm living.
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity for me.
00:12:32Coming to the stage, here's Cutter Bradley!
00:12:36I've moved away from home to do this dream.
00:12:39I kind of left everything behind,
00:12:41and so I want to stay really bad.
00:12:49I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:12:54I fell asleep in my booze last night.
00:13:13And I knew I wouldn't have to take the time putting them back on when I'm sober.
00:13:22Yeah, I knew you'd be pissed off over me, and I'd just be hung over.
00:13:28And I didn't need to take the time putting them back on when I woke up in my booze this
00:13:34morning.
00:13:41And I knew I was going to take the time putting them back on when I woke up in my
00:13:47booze this morning.
00:13:47And I knew I was going to take the time putting them back on when I woke up in my
00:13:50booze this morning.
00:14:02This microphone is revealing a lot of singers now.
00:14:10So happy to be here.
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan.
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas.
00:14:15I'm going to be singing.
00:14:16I'm going to be singing I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.
00:14:19Good song.
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol because I want to show that your story, your pain,
00:14:25can be used to be your greatest power.
00:14:28Absolutely.
00:14:32Well, I feel really, really lucky to be here in Hollywood Week.
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here.
00:14:39Welcome back.
00:14:41Last year, I wasn't able to experience this round because of my mental health.
00:14:48You were born enough.
00:14:50I feel proud of myself for making it here.
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing, a lot of learning.
00:14:57And so this year, I'm definitely feeling much more well-prepared and confident.
00:15:02But I'm always nervous.
00:15:04I mean, why wouldn't you be nervous in Hollywood Week?
00:15:08Up until this point, I've only performed my own songs.
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking about this first cover for us.
00:15:15I'm really pushing myself with this one.
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection to bring out emotion for a song that you're covering.
00:15:24It demands more of me, so the pressure's on.
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking just thinking about it, honestly.
00:15:32But I just thought, you know, I'd regret it if I showed up to Hollywood Week and I didn't push
00:15:35myself.
00:15:36Turn down the light.
00:15:41Turn down the bed.
00:15:45Turn down these voices inside my head.
00:15:51Turn down these voices inside my head.
00:15:52Lay down with me.
00:15:56Tell me no lies.
00:16:00Just hold me close.
00:16:04Don't patronize.
00:16:08Don't patronize.
00:16:09Don't patronize me.
00:16:13Hold me close.
00:16:15Because I can't make you love me if you don't.
00:16:23You can't make your heart feel something in the dark.
00:16:32Here in the dark
00:16:34In these final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:43And I'll feel the power
00:16:46But you won't
00:16:49No, you won't
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me
00:17:01If you don't
00:17:05If you don't
00:17:09If you don't
00:17:20Thank you so much
00:17:22Thank you so much
00:17:24Thank you so much
00:17:36Gotta keep it together up here
00:17:38My favorite part about that is when you hit your first note, the crowd screams, you smile, and your smile
00:17:45was so big you almost couldn't sing the next line.
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future and that was the first of many great experiences for
00:17:57you and we're just glad we get to watch
00:18:14I feel like every time I go on stage I still struggle with that self-doubt and I just get
00:18:21proven wrong every single time and it's really starting to feel like a blessing and I'm not ready to go
00:18:26home, not at all.
00:18:27Why am I so nervous?
00:18:29I know, right?
00:18:31I know, right?
00:18:32Not easy
00:18:33Cutter
00:18:36Julian
00:18:37Julian
00:18:39You are still chasing that American Idol dream
00:18:50Is it a whirlwind for you?
00:18:52It's more than a whirlwind
00:18:53It's magic
00:18:54It's magic
00:18:55It's actual magic
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life
00:18:58Welcome back to American Idol, where Professor Carey's Hollywood Week lessons have some students turning against her
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song
00:19:14They just like to boo me
00:19:16There were notes that were just like awesome and then I was hearing some that I was like what's happening
00:19:23right now?
00:19:24So I'm kind of like I'm it
00:19:27I heard it too. I heard it too
00:19:29I'm just not sure that was the right song
00:19:31She only won this. She knows
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion
00:19:39But Mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass
00:19:42It was a little shaky to start I think make sure you do songs that really showcase that grit that
00:19:48you have
00:19:48Thank you so much
00:19:52Why don't they boo you?
00:19:54I know I'm trying to get booed
00:19:56Ask them
00:19:56You're not gonna boo him?
00:19:58You're not gonna boo Luke?
00:20:04I'm getting used to it
00:20:06I'm getting used to it
00:20:08Hoping to get on Carey's good side by living up to his name
00:20:12Okay, here it comes
00:20:14Is 24 year old True the star?
00:20:19My first audition that's on the ballot
00:20:21So I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much as I wanted to
00:20:25And how are you working on it?
00:20:28Just being myself
00:20:29The song I will be singing is Love and Happiness by Al Green
00:20:32It shows my personality and how I like to move around and perform
00:20:37It's more about being true instead of me 100%
00:20:40Well go have some fun, be you and let's get it done
00:20:43Come on y'all!
00:20:49Something's going wrong
00:20:51Someone's on the phone line
00:20:533 o'clock in the morning
00:20:56Yeah, yeah
00:20:59Talking about
00:21:01How she can make it right

00:22:06well your name is true the star yes and you get a band and then you start getting choreography
00:22:13and swagger but the song didn't necessarily show everybody how great and dynamic your voice is
00:22:22but it showed us how dynamic you are as an artist keep being yourself
00:22:43while true waits to see if his authenticity keeps him at the top of the class the pressure is on

00:35:41I almost lost him
00:35:42And he's here with me right now
00:35:45Oh, so great

00:35:49How have you gotten ready for today?
00:35:51Are you ready with this song?
00:35:52Have you rehearsed it enough?
00:35:53How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay
00:35:59Wasn't the best
00:36:00I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes
00:36:04So like when you didn't hit the note

00:36:07Yeah
00:36:08I'm like really in my head right now
00:36:11I'm just worried about my dad
00:36:13Because this trip has been really hard on him
00:36:16Like he can't like sit in one spot for too long
00:36:19And he just gets like really tired
00:36:22And I just want to make him proud
00:36:24I want to make it worth his while
00:36:27Here's 24 year old Ray
00:36:40Stone cold
00:36:45You see me standing
00:36:49But I'm dying on the floor
00:36:58Maybe if I don't cry
00:37:02I won't feel any more
00:37:05Stone cold
00:37:07Maybe
00:37:10God knows I try to be
00:37:14If you know that I am
00:37:21Even if I can't understand

00:39:05By the end of today
00:39:08We will have gone from
00:39:09127
00:39:12To
00:39:1330
00:39:16I hope you all know
00:39:18How difficult
00:39:19This decision has been
00:39:21That said
00:39:23Ruby
00:39:25Ray
00:39:25Mary Jo
00:39:27Please don't take this as a no
00:39:36Through
00:39:36Because it is not
00:39:37You're still in the mix
00:39:38You all should be so proud of yourselves
00:39:41You've done such an amazing job
00:39:45I can't believe
00:39:47I can't believe I've made it through
00:39:47I'm really
00:39:48I don't know
00:39:48I'm just
00:39:49Whoa
00:39:50So many emotions
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30
00:39:55So I'm very anxious
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude
00:40:04It's just speaking more life into me
00:40:07Hollywood week is the ultimate test
00:40:15I can do it more and push myself more
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you
00:40:22Vocally you have to stay on point when it matters most
00:40:25Hollywood week has been insane
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key
00:40:34Welcome back to American Idol
00:40:36Where inside the theater
00:40:38Our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chance
00:40:41At this year's top 30
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all American boy
00:41:02Just getting up there singing your heart
00:41:05And we will see if that was enough
00:41:07But meanwhile in the golden room
00:41:09The hopefuls who have survived the first cut wait
00:41:12With their fate in the top 30 not established
00:41:15I still could go home
00:41:16I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety
00:41:19I think
00:41:19I think
00:41:20He has a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go
00:41:23When the talent's that good
00:41:24I think I'm nervous for them
00:41:27Every time you hear like the audience
00:41:29A little part of me is like
00:41:30Like
00:41:31I'm gonna throw up
00:41:32Here
00:41:33Jenei Payroll
00:41:34Jenei Payroll
00:41:36Pickle Girl
00:41:37You know Pickle Girl, Lana?
00:41:39I love Pickle
00:41:40Who doesn't?
00:41:42Yeah
00:41:45You're gonna still yet have to push
00:41:47Yes
00:41:47Even more with some of the singers we have
00:41:50For this performance they're gonna see me bring like
00:41:53A little more of whatever they were looking for
00:41:55Especially with the band
00:41:56Like once that band started I was like
00:41:57Oh yeah I'm ready I got this
00:41:59One, two, I'm a dude
00:42:00Come on girl
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts?
00:42:03No one's admitting that they're nervous
00:42:04And it's pissing me off
00:42:06You are nervous
00:42:07And I'm nervous
00:42:08I'm admitting that
00:42:09Just admit that you're nervous
00:42:13All of these lines across my face
00:42:18Tell you the stories of who I am
00:42:22So many stories of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got to where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:37When you've got no one to tell them
00:42:42Tell it's true
00:42:45I was made for you
00:42:51I've climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:56Swim all across the ocean
00:43:00Across all the lines that I'll follow
00:43:05Baby I broke them all for you
00:43:10Oh because even when I went flat
00:43:15You made me feel like I didn't know
00:43:19I'm from you too
00:43:22I was made for you
00:43:27Oh yes when it's true
00:43:31You made me feel like I was made for you
00:43:44I was eventually born
00:43:47I was eventually born
00:43:47Love her
00:43:48When you come out
00:43:49And I'm leaving the show
00:43:52So I'm here
00:43:53Wow
00:43:53You have this energy around you
00:43:56That you just feel like you want to be on stage
00:43:58Like owning the moment
00:44:00And you should be very very happy
00:44:02Good job
00:44:04Thank you
00:44:04Thank you
00:44:08Oh my God that was so cool
00:44:11They stood up
00:44:12Let's go
00:44:13Her voice is like
00:44:14On
00:44:15Oh it's got that rock kind of thing at the top
00:44:18Yes
00:44:18She was clear
00:44:19She was good
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit
00:44:21I feel really good about that
00:44:22And my nail just popped off
00:44:24Perfect timing
00:44:25Okay
00:44:29Next and hoping her dreams will take flight
00:44:31Is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird
00:44:33From the quad to Hollywood week
00:44:35Just like that
00:44:37It's gone so fast
00:44:38Thank you
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:40Uh yes
00:44:41Yes I would love to
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do but like this is more important than me
00:44:46A week ago if you told me I was doing American Idol
00:44:48I wouldn't have believed you because I didn't even know I was auditioning
00:44:50But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist and a performer
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them where I have some more preparation than my audition with
00:45:08them initially
00:45:09Now I'm here
00:45:10To remind you
00:45:13Of the mess you left when you went away
00:45:17It's not fair
00:45:19To deny me
00:45:21Of the cross I bear
00:45:24That you gave to me
00:45:26You Oughta Know
00:45:33Of the mess that you left when you went away
00:45:37It's not fair
00:45:39To deny me
00:45:42Of the cross I bear
00:45:44That you gave to me
00:45:46Yeah
00:45:46Yeah
00:45:47Yeah
00:45:48Out of love
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers
00:45:57So I'm just glad that I went out there and did my best
00:46:00Way to own your moment
00:46:02Just remember make sure you land the vocals all the way
00:46:05But you should be very very proud
00:46:07Good job
00:46:15As the night goes on
00:46:16The judges are feeling the weight of some tough decisions
00:46:23Thread the band-aid off
00:46:29Genevieve
00:46:31And Jason
00:46:36You're still in the mix
00:46:40Jackie
00:46:40You're not going through
00:46:44The fact that I made it this far
00:46:46I'm really grateful
00:46:48And
00:46:48Yeah
00:46:49I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me into the top 30
00:46:57Because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned as more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:14Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard
00:47:17There are people that are really good that we are having to send home
00:47:21We got more bloodshed coming
00:47:23We have some singles
00:47:28Welcome back to Idol
00:47:29Where the night's final group of hopefuls are taking the stage
00:47:32Feeling nervous
00:47:36Feeling nervous
00:47:37Aren't you bored
00:47:39With your quiet voice
00:47:41Wow
00:47:42An impeccable style
00:47:46You let them laugh while they can
00:47:52You let them spin
00:47:56You let them scatter
00:47:59You let them scatter
00:48:01You let them scatter
00:48:03And into the voice
00:48:06You let them scatter
00:48:08The voice
00:48:08Of the voice
00:48:12And the job's done
00:48:26I'm seeing authenticity, I'm seeing style, I'm seeing uniqueness, and that's what it
00:48:31takes to do well in this competition.
00:48:34That was solid.
00:48:36Solid.
00:48:37Up next, and here to inspire others, is Mississippi voice teacher, Daniel Stallworth.
00:48:45Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:48:48To make the top 30, it would mean a lot to me.
00:48:50It would help me keep pushing the narrative, to never stop believing.
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students, to let them know that you can reach your goals, never give up.
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you?
00:49:00All right, exactly.
00:49:01All right.
00:49:02I didn't really expect them to react the way that they did.
00:49:05It made me feel like, yes, I can believe that I'm a star.
00:49:08All right, make sure you can hear yourself down there, check those wages out, and then we'll go.
00:49:11On Hollywood Week, I'm going to perform Stand By Me.
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage this big, going straight in, diving in head first.
00:49:24I'm going to definitely keep the energy and sing like I'll never sing again.
00:49:29Y'all clap your hands.
00:49:30Come on.
00:49:32When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see.
00:49:48No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:52No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:57Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
00:50:04If the skies that we look upon should tumble and fall, for the mountains should crumble in the sea.
00:50:21Come on.
00:50:23Let's go.
00:50:24Come on.
00:50:24Come on.
00:50:26I won't be afraid.
00:50:33I won't be afraid.
00:50:37I won't be afraid.
00:50:40Come on.
00:50:40Come on.
00:50:42Come on.
00:50:47By me.
00:50:55Yeah!
00:51:03Wow.
00:51:05Wow, wow.
00:51:07To take a song that we've heard so many times
00:51:10and to just take it to the raptors of this place,
00:51:14you're a truly special person.
00:51:17Hey, way to go, man.
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by for results,
00:51:25Brooks hopes he can do enough to stand out.
00:51:28I've never performed on a stage.
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone
00:51:32besides friends and family, so I'm very excited,
00:51:35but I'm also still very nervous.
00:51:38I come from a musical family.
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicus.
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life,
00:51:44but I just never took it seriously.
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me.
00:51:51I had trouble making friends.
00:51:53I was very shy, awkward.
00:51:57I started playing soccer around age six.
00:52:01That kind of led to making friends,
00:52:03and from that point on, soccer was my life.
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro,
00:52:10to see my last name on my back with a number that I liked.
00:52:13My freshman year of high school,
00:52:15halfway through the soccer season,
00:52:19I went for a free kick,
00:52:23and I planted my left foot to kick it,
00:52:26and I felt like a gear switch in my lower left back,
00:52:29and I couldn't feel my legs.
00:52:31I snapped my back in half,
00:52:34and that changed everything.
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved
00:52:41and be around the other boys and be a part of things.
00:52:45I was lost for a long time,
00:52:47and then I picked up a guitar,
00:52:49and I didn't want to put it down.
00:52:52You haven't played out much.
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much.
00:52:57Well, stop doing that.
00:53:00I just want to hear more.
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities,
00:53:05but this holds the future that I want.
00:53:08All right, let's see what they think about him.
00:53:11All right, here we go.
00:53:41Just like a rolling stone.
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul,
00:53:53and it grows just like an ocean wave.
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way,
00:54:06and it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:54:11Well, this wind stirs up the hurricane,
00:54:20and it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:54:28I am lost amongst these north country stars.
00:54:34Where do you find me?
00:54:37Lead me on home.
00:54:43There's this pain.
00:54:45There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:48There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:48There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:48It's the hurt I had since I left of you.
00:54:55There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:55:01There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:55:02And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:55:08Well, this wind stirs up a hurricane.
00:55:15And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:55:48And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it
00:55:53is pretty special.
00:55:55When you have this unique voice paired with these songs
00:56:00that are going to happen in your life,
00:56:01it's going to be really, really special.
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?
00:56:11It was great.
00:56:12Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:14Wow.
00:56:15It felt good.
00:56:17Our judges now have to decide
00:56:19who in this final group of the original,
00:56:22127 singers in Hollywood Week will make it to the golden room
00:56:26and the chance to move on to the top 30.
00:56:31Bricks.
00:56:39You're going through to the next round.
00:56:41And I know for us to go.
00:56:46We got a liquor.
00:56:48Bella.
00:56:51Daniel Stallworth.
00:56:52You're.
00:56:55Defining your own.
00:56:57As long as you know.
00:56:58You'll be joining them also.
00:57:00I hope you love fire in your heart.
00:57:03Wherever you touch, your team's going to fall.
00:57:07Just don't let it wake you alive.
00:57:10I just got a yes.
00:57:11That's crazy.
00:57:13That was so epic.
00:57:17This moment right here, I'm overjoyed.
00:57:19I'm overjoyed.
00:57:20I mean, I had my doubts, but I guess they liked me enough.
00:57:24What's up?
00:57:25Oh, my God.
00:57:27That was so good.
00:57:28Thank you so much.
00:57:31My fans.
00:57:38What are we doing, gang?
00:57:39What's up?
00:57:40Hey.
00:57:42What's happening?
00:57:43Give yourselves a round of applause
00:57:44for those great performances out there.
00:57:48Well, there are 60 of you here in this room,
00:57:51and the judges said only 30 of you
00:57:53will go on to that next round.
00:57:56Right now, they're actually deliberating.
00:57:59With the task of having to cut so many hopefuls,
00:58:02the judges review the performances
00:58:04to pare it down to just 30.
00:58:06It's hard.
00:58:07There are people that are really good
00:58:09that we are having to send home.
00:58:12Soon you'll be called back into the theater.
00:58:14So when you are called back in,
00:58:16just be aware anything could happen.
00:58:19Everyone's fighting for their lives in here.
00:58:21It's chaos.
00:58:22I've got a massive curveball thrown at us.
00:58:24Some of us are going home.
00:58:28We got more bloodshed coming.
00:58:30We got more decisions to make than we're used to.
00:58:33The remaining 60 must now be cut in half again,
00:58:38as the judges decide who will make it through
00:58:41to the top 30.
00:58:43It's so hard having to cut this menu, y'all.
00:58:46It's a big cut.
00:58:48Hopefully we are making the right decisions.
00:58:50Well, I feel like I'm going to throw up.
00:58:53I know they might puke.
00:58:53I don't know.
00:58:55We feel good about it.
00:58:56We've got them.
00:58:57Yeah, we got them.
00:58:58I think we do.
00:58:58With the judges' decisions made,
00:59:01the singers return to the theater
00:59:02to learn their fate.
00:59:04It's been a crazy Hollywood week here in Nashville.
00:59:08You've been through a lot.
00:59:09We've had to talk out your futures amongst us three,
00:59:13and it's nothing that we take lightly.
00:59:18I mean, you're all here for a reason.
00:59:20It's because you're really good.
00:59:21And if a couple of you kind of occupied the same space,
00:59:25we definitely have to look at that.
00:59:27So we have some sing-offs that we're going to ask you to do.
00:59:33And I'm going to deliver the first two names of the sing-offs.
00:59:39We never planned it.
00:59:41It happened naturally.
00:59:42They have the same two last names.
00:59:46If your last name is Garner,
00:59:50where's the Garner's?
00:59:53Jason, Michael, the two Garner's,
00:59:55you're in a sing-off together.
00:59:57So we've got a slot.
00:59:59One of you will have it.
01:00:00You are dismissed,
01:00:01so you can go work on your song that you want to sing.
01:00:04And y'all are our first sing-offs.
01:00:07Garner versus Garner.
01:00:12You got this.
01:00:13So I get the second sing-off announcement.
01:00:17So I look forward to seeing Mary Jo Young and Chloe Lauren.
01:00:24All right.
01:00:25So it'll be you guys.
01:00:26Y'all are in the sing-off.
01:00:28All right.
01:00:28Go work on your songs.
01:00:30Bring your A-game.
01:00:32While the sing-off duos leave to prepare,
01:00:35the remaining finalists will now be called up in groups
01:00:39to find out who has earned their place in the top 30.
01:00:43All right.

01:12:09we've put you in a tough situation to duke it out like this we're gonna huddle
01:12:14up and we're gonna figure out who gets to go be in the top 30. thank you so
01:12:25much
01:12:26gosh it's tough one is the obvious show and the other one is just the one of my hearts
01:12:34right you know what do you think i'm the same
01:12:42yeah that's the right way to go that's the right way to go we've been here a long time
01:12:47and you boys have us making decisions late into the night tough decisions very tough guys
01:13:00the next to go in the top 30 is gonna be
01:13:13welcome back to hollywood week
01:13:19i want to stress to you guys you are both very talented young men tough decisions very tough guys
01:13:34michael you're in our top 30.
01:13:39jason it's the end of the road for you buddy all right
01:13:43thank you so much
01:13:56no
01:14:04He got the top 30 which well-deserved but I'm glad I got didn't have to just sit there
01:14:09I got to go out and try to get it so yeah, but man
01:14:12I'm just so thankful for how far I got got it so good. That's just so amazing
01:14:27everything you know I prayed about everything and God showed me the light and I made in the top 30
01:14:33All right, we just took care of one. We have 29. That's right. One final spot remains. Mary Jo or
01:14:43Chloe?
01:14:44I'm, that's how I feel. Chloe has a great freaking voice. She's incredible and I'm like sad because I love
01:14:51Chloe. Bring all the waterworks. I do know Mary Jo. We became close throughout Hollywood week.
01:14:59She's performed many times and I have not. I didn't know we were going to do do do. That's all
01:15:05right.
01:15:06So this is a once in a lifetime for me. When we give you confidence because we can sense that
01:15:14it's
01:15:14not all there. Go for it all. But since arriving in Hollywood week the self-doubt has not left
01:15:21Chloe's side. I feel like I let myself down. I'm self-sabotaged really badly. I tried to do the best
01:15:29that I could. It's almost like she's given up on herself. Mary Jo's Hollywood experience goes back
01:15:36five seasons. Where her nerves led to forgetting the lyrics in her duet with Benson Boone.
01:15:50You just lived your worst nightmare. Now that you've experienced it, you have to understand
01:15:55we all mess up. That's right. But what you have is a great gift. But there was no holding
01:16:01back for her this season. We're so glad to have you back in our presence and you are singing
01:16:07your butt off. Congratulations. Are they ready? When you're out there, I want you to say one
01:16:17thing to yourself in your head. Do not rush. You're meant to do this. Get out there and sing
01:16:22the you know what out of this song. Amen. All right, ladies.
01:16:32So we have Mary Jo and Chloe duking it out for that last final spot into the top 30.
01:16:41So give it your all. Who wants to go first?
01:16:51What are you going to sing, Chloe? I'm singing You Stole the Show by Santa Spira.
01:16:54Okay.
01:17:24Say hello. I can't wait. I'm impatient. Yeah, you stole my show. So I chase you to the pavement.
01:17:39Drop me in your arms again. The adrenaline makes me shiver. Show me that you're genuine.
01:17:51That I'm safe again. That you came here, dear friend. No time to define. But before we get closer,
01:18:05I ask if you love me. And you just struggle, shout us.
01:18:24Wow. Amazing. That was good. Really great. Thank you. All right, Mary Jo. I'm going to do
01:18:34Skinny Love by Bon Iver. I'm going to do an acapella. Wow.
01:18:39Come on. Come on, Skinny Love. Just last the year. And pour a little soul. We were never here.
01:18:54My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my. Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneers.
01:19:09And I told you to be patient. And I told you to be fine. And I told you to be
01:19:21balanced. And I told you to be kind.
01:19:25And in the morning I'll be with you. But it will be a different kind. Cause I'll be holding all
01:19:35the tickets. And you'll be owning all the fines.
01:19:39Come on, Skinny Love. What happened here. Suck along the hope in libraries here. Oh, my, my, my. Oh, my,
01:19:55my, my, my.
01:19:56I won't be playing. Soul and load is full. Soul slow on the split.
01:20:06Thanks, Pookie. Wow.
01:20:11Wow.
01:20:12I mean, you both just proved why you're here and why you've made it this far.
01:20:17We're gonna chat it out for just a second and, uh, get back to you.
01:20:27Both have incredible textures in that voice.
01:20:32She's got like an Adele quality in her voice,
01:20:35like in a different way.
01:20:38Does Chloe have the confidence?
01:20:41I don't know.
01:20:43We good?
01:20:44Yeah.
01:20:46Okay.
01:20:47Let's do it.
01:20:50I would feel bad either way.
01:20:52Exactly.
01:20:53Ladies.
01:20:54Ladies, we have definitely given ourselves a pickle.
01:20:59You guys both just did a really great job
01:21:02and are both so unique.
01:21:04So we're just kind of going on our guts here.
01:21:07So.
01:21:16Chloe.
