00:22:43Cause all that I have is a hallelujah.
00:22:52Hallelujah.
00:22:55And I know it's not much, but I'm nothing else fit for a king.

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 there.

00:25:24was, I don't know, like I, I felt it.
00:25:27I felt, felt a little, felt a little Holy Spirit in the room, um, which was really wonderful.

00:28:07Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:08Come on.
00:28:09I swear that love will find you in your pain.
00:28:13I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins.
00:28:20I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:24I said, I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:29Listen, your ass is far from burning trees.
00:28:36But I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:41Oh, don't give a round.
00:28:44You've come too far.
00:28:46Oh, there's going to be a brighter days.
00:28:48Come on, I said, there's going to be a brighter days.
00:28:52I said, there's going to be a brighter days.
00:28:52Do you believe it now?
00:28:53Oh, there's going to be some brighter days.
00:29:01There's going to be some brighter days.
00:29:07Oh, boy, yeah.
00:29:16Good job.
00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done.
00:29:31You see, automatically, I never thought I would have to share all night long.
00:29:36Now, people stop me on the street and go, I saw your man with all night long.
00:29:40You see, now you are Mr. All Night Long.
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story and then move the crowd.
00:29:49And what you did there was a great, great performance.
00:29:53Thank you, sir.
00:29:56I love that.
00:29:58I feel like you're so serious, like, all the time.
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music gets going, then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel.
00:30:06And then the music stops again and you're like, very serious again.
00:30:09But I do feel like we're watching you kind of just get into a more comfortable, fun space.
00:30:16Like, I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song.
00:30:19Because this would be the chance for a lot of people to do, like, big, slow songs.
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction.
00:30:24I think that's going to differentiate you tonight a little bit.
00:30:27Very good.
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33Have fun with all this.
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow and expand and try new things.
00:30:39And that's what you did with All Night Long because we hadn't seen you do that yet.
00:30:42And then, like I said, this got you moving.
00:30:44You were out here with us.
00:30:46You walked by.
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back.
00:30:50So, you got me in the spirit.
00:30:52So, but just keep growing.
00:30:54Keep growing.
00:30:58It was actually like a high five with a knee up kind of thing you did right there.
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move.
00:31:04Flexibility.
00:31:05Yeah, it was best.
00:31:06So, are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a schoolteacher.
00:31:10And so, I have to be serious.
00:31:11Oh.
00:31:12That'll do it.
00:31:12But what's the real you?
00:31:13Come on.
00:31:14Cut up a little bit.
00:31:14To be honest, I really don't have any sense.
00:31:17For real.
00:31:18So, I can get really, I can have a lot of fun.
00:31:21So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more.
00:31:22There you go.
00:31:23Given the opportunity.
00:31:25There you go.

00:36:23I'm so proud of you.
00:36:28I went to the mountain because you asked me to up over the clouds to where the sky was blue.
00:36:52Sometimes I lay down, no more can I do.
00:37:02But then I go on again because you asked me to.
00:37:13Some days I look down, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I will fall.
00:37:25And though the sun shines, I see nothing, nothing at all.
00:37:33And the sun ishapsody with our love.
00:37:37Can I hear you or your sweet, but i'm so proud.

00:38:30I mean, you were pro from every moment, the start, how you work the room,
00:38:35you milked the song, it was, well, I mean, I don't know what you and filming,
00:38:40did y'all, what y'all drank today, but can I have some, please?

00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential and star quality
00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Thank you so much
00:54:01Just you and your guitar
00:54:02Great song choice
00:54:03Loved it
00:54:04Thank you
00:54:05What I'm loving most about
00:54:07It's number one in everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane
00:54:15And that was your lane
00:54:16And 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 in your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of
00:54:54Hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good at taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artist
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Kerry

00:57:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 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.
00:58:32My goodness. It is a testament to what you're doing.
00:58:38I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that, okay?
00:58:48Bring 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.
00:59:17I'm just in awe watching you. It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid, and we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice,
00:59:38and you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you,
00:59:49and we just saw that happen.
00:59:50Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:55So 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.

01:27:05There's pressure throughout, but it's just a different kind of pressure.
01:27:08You are alive.
01:27:09But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion and show us what they got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke, how 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 is going to do it.

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 to announce eliminations
01:27:54tonight.
01:27:55What?

01:28:06We'll carry forward those votes, get everything verified.
