00:14:54I set out on a narrow way
00:14:59Many years ago
00:15:02Hoping I would find true love
00:15:07Along the broken road
00:15:09But I got lost
00:15:12A time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow
00:15:16And kept pushing
00:15:17I couldn't see
00:15:20How every sign
00:15:22Blended straight to you
00:15:26And every long lost dream
00:15:30Led me to where you are
00:15:34Others who broke my heart
00:15:38They were like northern stars
00:15:43Pointed me on my way
00:15:46Into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know is true
00:15:54That God blessed the broken road
00:16:01That led me straight to you
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:12And I'm still rolling home
00:16:17Into my brother's arms

00:17:21Who sang it
00:17:21A couple decades ago

00:24:38Thank you so much, sir.
00:24:40Um, uh, uh, it just felt like everything came together.
00:24:45Your voice really works in this room and the way you just stand there, you look like you
00:24:50got your whole thing together and you're ready to be a star.
00:24:53Thank you, sir.
00:24:57All I want you to know is grow that, grow that.
00:25:02In other words, what I'm saying to you is take this as the big step because you've got
00:25:07major behind you here.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:09Which means now you take it and take us to the next level of that performance right
00:25:15there.
00:25:19Lucas, more than anything, I felt like you were very genuine in singing it, um, which
00:25:24was, I don't know.
00:25:25Like I, I felt it.
00:25:27I felt, felt a little, felt a little Holy Spirit in the room, which was really wonderful.
00:25:31I also felt a little nerves from you, which I know is impossible.
00:25:34This is a big deal.
00:25:35This is, this is like the real deal now, you know, we've got our top 14, so this is,
00:25:41this is serious and you already know that, but, um, just keep doing what you're doing.
00:25:44Yes, man.
00:25:48How are you feeling tonight?
00:25:52Like a weight just going.

00:46:48And God, you've been gracious
00:46:51Faithful whatever I'm feeling and facing
00:46:55So I'll bring my hope, hope, hope
00:46:59It is well, hallelujah
00:47:04Oh, hallelujah
00:47:21You are here because you have an incredible voice
00:47:25Like, hands down, you showed it off
00:47:28I felt like as the song progressed
00:47:30We just felt that building
00:47:32And felt you going for more stuff
00:47:34And I mean, you're here
00:47:36Cause you should be
00:47:37You deserve to be

00:47:43If you get through
00:47:44I hope you do
00:47:45Just don't let the moment feel like
00:47:47It's overwhelming you a little bit
00:47:49I mean, just remember
00:47:50That song has a lot of big energy behind it
00:47:53And you sing it great
00:47:54But you gotta get wrapped up in this thing
00:47:56I just felt like you may have got
00:47:57A little nervous in the moment
00:47:59But we love your voice
00:48:00Great job on that
00:48:01Yeah

00:51:49When you feel so tired
00:51:52But you can't sleep
00:51:55Stuck in reverb
00:52:02When the tears come streaming down your face
00:52:08When you lose something

00:53:30And I will try to fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential
00:53:56And star quality
00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes just 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
00:54:09In everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now
00:54:12Is everybody'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
00:54:33To 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 sing
00:54:52In 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
00:54:56At taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like
00:55:00The other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Carrie
00:55:06Good to see you, buddy

00:55:08Hanging out with

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
00:55:16The Dodgers, didn't they?
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
00:55:22We saw them
00:55:23Thank you, guys

00:55:55It's my favorite thing
00:55:56In the world
00:55:56Give me a second
00:55:58You've got artists written
00:55:59All over you
00:56:00And I'm loving every minute of it
00:56:02The industry
00:56:03Platinum ticket
00:56:04Goes to
00:56:06Amen
00:56:11What can wash away my sin
00:56:17Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:56:21What can make me whole again
00:56:28Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:56:34Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow
00:56:48No, no other fountain
00:56:53No, nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:56:58Come on
00:56:59For thy parting this I see
00:57:05Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:11Nothing for thy cleansing this I flee
00:57:18Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:23Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:25Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as snow
00:57:37Oh, no, I've been found by no, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:57:50Oh, no, nothing 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, the competition is, I can't say
00:58:41it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that. Okay? Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist. And I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like,
00:58:58super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works. And you're here for this time, right now.
00:59:08Wow. That was incredible. You are such an artist. You are so professional. And, like, I don't know, I'm just
00:59:17in awe watching you.
00:59:19It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid. And we see you. You're not timid
00:59:30after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice. And you
00:59:39just 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.
00:59:55So, 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...
01:00:02I mean, we're not going to show the world. They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right. Well, use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10Can you cover Ron's with the dress also?
01:00:13There you go. That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:18It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah. I like to... I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right. Let'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.
01:00:29You can vote for Kindle and all your favorites five different ways.

01:00:53I like those moves.
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. I'm all good.
01:00:58Yeah, okay.
01:00:59More inspired songs on the way, like I can only imagine, from George and McCullough.
01:01:05And imagine, from Brooks, you're next, after this, on American Idol.
01:01:23Thanks for tuning in live, wherever you are, and on Disney+.
01:01:27We hope you're loving our Songs of Faith night.
01:01:29Next Monday, it's the return of our Judges Song Contest right here.
01:01:33But, with a 90s twist, and calling all millennials, we've got a TGIF reunion with some of your favorite stars,
01:01:41live on this stage.
01:01:42I know, I'm excited.
01:01:44So don't miss it.
01:01:46Now, with a number one from Christian rock band Mercy Me, it's Jordan McCullough.
01:01:52I'm a real performer in church, and I didn't know that any of this was a possibility outside of the
01:01:57choir 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.
01:02:13I can only imagine what it'd be like
01:02:19When I walk by your side
01:02:25I can only imagine
01:02:28I can only imagine
01:02:34When that day comes
01:02:38And I find myself
01:02:42Standing in the sun
01:02:45I can only imagine
01:02:47When all I will do
01:02:51Is forever
01:02:55Forever worship you
01:02:59Surrounded by your glory
01:03:02What will my heart feel?
01:03:05Will I dance
01:03:07For you, Jesus
01:03:08Or in awe of you be still
01:03:11Will I stand
01:03:13In your presence
01:03:15To my knees
01:03:16To my knees
01:03:17Will I fall
01:03:18Will I sing
01:03:19Hallelujah
01:03:21Will I be able
01:03:23To speak
01:03:33Hallelujah
01:03:35Will all of you be still?
01:03:38Will I sing in your way?
01:03:42Will I sing, hallelujah?
01:03:48Will I be able to speak it all?
01:03:51I can only imagine.
01:03:56I can only imagine.
01:04:32I can only imagine.
01:04:36Every time we see you, you have the ability to bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:44And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:47And that'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.
01:05:00I'll make it very short.
01:05:02Will the congregation please say amen?
01:05:07Amen.
01:05:10Amen.
01:05:11Amen.
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 feels 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.
01:05:29Oh, look at it.
01:05:30Keep looking.
01:05:30That's how you get the votes.

01:06:04Here you go.
01:06:06I'm not going to have a dementia care facility.
01:06:09Can you sing me a song today?
01:06:12A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
01:06:18You're a unicorn.
01:06:32Imagine there's no heaven
01:06:35But it's easy if you try
01:06:45No hell below us
01:06:52Above us only sky
01:06:59Imagine all the people
01:07:05Living for today
01:07:12Imagine there's no country
01:07:19Is it hard to do
01:07:26Nothing to kill or die for
01:07:33No religion to
01:07:40Imagine all the people
01:07:44Imagine all the people
01:07:46Living for life in peace
01:07:51You may say
01:07:56I'm a dreamer
01:08:01But I'm not the only one
01:08:04But I'm not the only one
01:08:07I hope someday
01:08:09You will join us
01:08:15And the world
01:08:20Will be us one

01:08:39I love the way it sounds
01:08:40I want to listen
01:08:41I want you to go write a million songs
01:08:43And record them
01:08:44So I can go buy all of them
01:08:45Thank you
01:08:46Thank you so much
01:08:49I'm having a problem
01:08:50Trying to figure out
01:08:52Who's going to take home the prize
01:08:54But I'm serious
01:08:56I'm not kidding
01:08:57The talent is amazing
01:08:58Your voice is amazing
01:09:00The most important thing you have
01:09:02Is your uniqueness to that voice
01:09:04Is just unbelievable
01:09:07I love your voice
01:09:09Yeah, Brooks
01:09:10You just keep us guessing
01:09:11You know what I mean
01:09:12And I feel like
01:09:13We are always very excited
01:09:15And curious
01:09:16To see what you're going to do
01:09:17Even when
01:09:18We 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

01:11:42I never thought a song about string cheese would lead to all this
01:11:45Can you open my string cheese?
01:11:48Well, that's about the most relatable song I think I've ever heard
01:11:51It means a lot to me to represent other moms

01:12:01Where mercy reigns
01:12:05And never dies
01:12:12There's a place
01:12:15Where streams of grace
01:12:18Flow deep in white
01:12:24Where all the love I've ever found
01:12:31Comes like a flood
01:12:34Comes flowing down
01:12:38At the cross
01:12:40At the cross
01:12:42I surrender my life
01:12:45I'm in awe of you

01:25:37Kane and James Hill, Filo, Colby, and the amazing Carrie Underwood.
01:25:49Okay, the voting, it's about to close during this commercial break, so lock in your votes.
01:25:56Who do you want in your top 12?
01:25:59Your results are coming live right after this.
01:26:14Back with you on American Idol.
01:26:16It has been an incredible night on this stage.
01:26:19The judges and the whole studio have been on their feet all night long enjoying this Songs
01:26:25of Faith.
01:26:27Tom, give them the lights.
01:26:30And here we go.
01:26:31Lionel, just quickly, how, in your view, is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes, this is probably the most diverse.
01:26:40When I say that, I mean from every imaginable configuration of genre, you all have managed
01:26:48to sparkle us again to the point where we don't know where you're coming from.
01:26:52All Martians are in this class.
01:26:55All Martians.
01:26:56Amazing class.
01:26:57Amazing class.
01:26:57And Carrie, you've done this before.
01:26:59How does the competition shift once we go live on the stage?
01:27:03I mean, there's definitely, there's pressure throughout, but it's just a different kind
01:27:08of pressure.
01:27:08You are live.
01:27:09But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion and show us what they
01:27:14got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke?
01:27:18How do you choose?
01:27:19I don't know how America chooses.
01:27:21You got to trust your gut as a voter at home and just pick the people that, pick the artists
01:27:28that are on stage.
01:27:29Just make you smile, make you laugh, make you cry.
01:27:32And I don't know how America's going to do it.
01:27:36Well, we have had five ways to vote tonight.
01:27:39Tens of millions of votes coming in at a rate we have never seen before.
01:27:44Truly unprecedented.
01:27:45And to ensure complete accuracy with the numbers, I was literally just told we are not going
01:27:53to announce eliminations tonight.
01:27:55What?
01:27:57This is the first time it's ever happened.
01:27:59Believe me, I've been here every night.
01:28:02I want to make sure we get every vote counted and every vote right.
01:28:06We'll carry forward those votes, get everything verified.
01:28:08So at the top of next week's show, your results will be revealed live on this stage.
01:28:24There you have it, America.
01:28:27Tens of millions of votes.
01:28:28Your top 12 will sing for your votes live all over again during our judges song contest
01:28:34with a 90s twist.
01:28:36That's next Monday, 8, 7 central, live right here.
01:28:40Good night, America.
