00:04:37First time in Hawaii?
00:04:38Yes, very first time.
00:04:40Fabulous.
00:04:40I remember growing up, we were struggling at a point in time,
00:04:43and I never thought that I would be on this journey
00:04:46and to be where I am today.
00:04:48Man, it feels so good being out here, the sun, the beach.
00:04:53I feel like I'm living a life.
00:04:54The experience, I'm grateful for it all.
00:04:58What are you going to be singing today?
00:04:59Today, I'm going to be singing Bang Bang by Jessie J.
00:05:01Ariana Grande.
00:05:02I can't wait to hear what you got.
00:05:04Let's do it.
00:05:04Yeah, do your thing.
00:05:04Let's do it.

00:05:08but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:10You didn't miss a note.
00:05:11She didn't miss a note.
00:05:12She didn't miss a note.
00:05:14That was incredible.
00:05:15I'm for it.
00:05:16If I were to say anything,
00:05:17it's just another little element you could sprinkle on
00:05:19is talking to the audience.
00:05:20As that in, vamp out comes in,
00:05:22just being like, sing it with me,
00:05:23or whatever, you know, give you a little moment.

00:05:35Yeah, that.
00:05:35But she'll, if she tries that, it'll work.
00:05:40Don't change a thing, I think.
00:05:41I'm not.
00:05:42Yes.
00:05:44Yes.
00:05:47She got her body like an hourglass,
00:05:49but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:53She got her body like a Cadillac,

00:07:47Yeah, yeah.
00:07:51Oh!
00:07:52There it is!
00:07:55It's a big finish.
00:07:57Yeah!
00:07:57Hi, everyone!
00:07:59Great to see you in Hawaii.
00:08:00Aloha!
00:08:01Aloha!
00:08:02Got the aloha spirit.
00:08:03Did she engage with you?
00:08:04I think she did.
00:08:05Yes!
00:08:07Well, judges, did you feel it as well?
00:08:09Let's start with you, Lionel.
00:08:10What do you think?
00:08:10Did we feel it?
00:08:12Did we feel it?
00:08:14Thank you, thank you.
00:08:16That's how you start a show off.
00:08:17Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
00:08:21Talk about a crowd-pleaser.
00:08:24Who?
00:08:24From the moment that you stepped out,
00:08:27you had the audience engaged.
00:08:29Now, in the first verse, did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34Your recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39It sounded like a quick moment,
00:08:39but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, girl.
00:08:44Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:08:46Insane!
00:08:48I mean, you understood the assignment.
00:08:50Yes, right.
00:08:51You're the first one up, and I mean,
00:08:53you came out and you delivered.
00:08:54I went back and I re-watched your audition,
00:08:56and, like, you just have notes on notes on notes on notes,
00:08:59and here you got to show us that you not only can sing,
00:09:03but you are a performer.
00:09:05That's right.
00:09:09You ain't in Arkansas no more, so.
00:09:11Come on!
00:09:12I mean, your outfit's great.
00:09:14Your whole presentation and the energy
00:09:15was just through the roof,
00:09:17and just watching the crowd react is what it's all about.
00:09:20Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:24Starting us off up-tempo.
00:09:26Micaiah needs your votes to move on in the competition.
00:09:28You can vote for her online via text,
00:09:30or for the first time ever by commenting Micaiah's name
00:09:33on our official American Idol voting post

00:09:38Micaiah, everyone, thank you very much.
00:09:40Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:45All right, lots to do coming up.
00:09:46Jake Thistle delivers some Huey Lewis and the news
00:09:49right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More Idol right here.
00:10:03Back with you on Idol, where we love highlighting
00:10:06the great work being done by Make-A-Wish.
00:10:08I wanted to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here,
00:10:11our superstar, who is bravely facing ongoing treatment
00:10:15for a brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol
00:10:20with her family here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:10:23You're a star.
00:10:24Are you having a good time?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:27All right.
00:10:27Well, we love your energy.
00:10:28We love your spirit.
00:10:30Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:35Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends at Make-A-Wish
00:10:40for nearly 45 years and is proud to grant a Disney wish
00:10:43every hour of every day.
00:10:45You can learn more at wish.org slash Disney.
00:10:48Now, here's how Brad Pais and Kiki Palmer took the reins
00:10:51with singer-songwriter Jake Thistle.
00:10:53You ready?
00:10:54Come on.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:58You've been performing since you were nine.
00:11:00Yeah.
00:11:00From nine to 15, I could play bars,
00:11:02because I was young enough where nobody would ever think
00:11:04to serve me.
00:11:04I was the same way.
00:11:05I did bars from the time I was 10 until I left,
00:11:09and it actually scared me off alcohol for a long time.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:12We come from different parts of the country,
00:11:15and we play different styles of music,
00:11:16but we still have a lot of shared experiences,
00:11:18and so I had a great time talking to Brad about that.
00:11:20I'm singing The Power of Love by Huey Lewis.
00:11:22Oh, my God.
00:11:23So that's one of my favorite songs of all time.
00:11:25The power of love is a curious thing.
00:11:29Make a one man weep, make another man sing.
00:11:33You're a tremendous player.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35That's so kind to you.
00:11:36That is so perfectly done.
00:11:38More of a feeling, that's a power of love.
00:11:42Yes!
00:11:43That's a high song.
00:11:44I mean, Huey always sang higher than you think.
00:11:48There's something about that voice of his.
00:11:49But in your case, too, go for those high ones.
00:11:52Power, you feel the power.
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless, and you know,
00:11:56sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:58I had a record exec once tell me,
00:12:01make it look hard tonight,
00:12:02and so I play a solo that's not that hard,
00:12:05and I was just like, ah!
00:12:07And, like, in the middle,
00:12:08and the cover of the newspaper the next day was that shot.
00:12:11There's sort of a power about getting out there
00:12:13and really, you know, going for it
00:12:15with facial expressions and body language,
00:12:16and that was great advice for him to give me.
00:12:19I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:12:20This is all gonna come down to the stage presence
00:12:23that you show, I think, on a song like this.
00:12:25Thank you guys so much.
00:12:26Yeah, thank you.
00:12:26You're great, man.
00:12:27Yay!
00:12:27It really means the world.
00:12:29Yay!
00:12:32Yay!
00:12:38Yay!
00:12:39Yay!
00:12:40Yay!
00:12:40Power of love is a curious thing.
00:12:43Yay!
00:12:44Yay!
00:12:44Make one man weep, make another man sing.
00:12:48Change your heart to a little wider.
00:12:51More than a feeling.
00:12:54More than a feeling.
00:12:54That's a power of love.
00:12:56More than a feeling.
00:12:59Don't need money.
00:13:01Don't take that.
00:13:03Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
00:13:07It's strong and it's sudden.
00:13:09But it's cruel sometimes.
00:13:11Might just save your life.
00:13:15You say that all in love is pain.
00:13:20Yeah, but you don't care.
00:13:23With a little help from above.
00:13:27You feel the power of love.
00:13:31You feel the power of love.
00:13:36The first time you feel it, it might make you mad.
00:13:39Next time you feel it, it might make you sad.
00:13:44But you'll be glad, baby, when you're found.
00:13:48That's the power that makes the world go round.
00:13:52Don't need money.
00:13:54Don't take faith.
00:13:56Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
00:14:00Tough with a diamond.
00:14:02Strong with a steel.
00:14:04You won't feel it up until you feel it.
00:14:07You won't feel it.
00:14:11You won't feel it.
00:14:11You won't feel it.
00:14:13You won't feel it.
00:14:13You won't feel it.
00:14:16You won't feel it.
00:14:17You won't feel it.
00:14:20You won't feel it.
00:14:25You won't feel it.
00:14:35You won't feel it.
00:14:37The Power of Love, the Back to the Future soundtrack.
00:14:40Huey Lewis and the News.
00:14:41You wanted to bring the energy.
00:14:43I think it was mission accomplished.
00:14:44Thank you so much.
00:14:45Let's get to the judges on this one.
00:14:47Lionel?
00:14:47Did I detect this sexy...
00:14:52Sexy Jake.
00:14:53And then, did you notice, judges,
00:14:55I've never seen you when you get the ugly face.
00:14:58That means you're singing your heart out, man.
00:15:01I mean, honestly, that's what we're looking for.
00:15:04Bring it.
00:15:04Thank you so much.
00:15:05Bring it.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:07Brad told me to make it look hard.
00:15:11Bring it.
00:15:12Every time we see you perform,
00:15:14your number one thing is you always look like
00:15:16you're in control of the moment,
00:15:17and you're comfortable, and it looks professional.
00:15:20We've seen you do more laid-back stuff,
00:15:23so it was really fun to see you branch out,
00:15:25do kind of some rock and roll,
00:15:27and that was the best example
00:15:29that I've seen you do that thus far.
00:15:31Great job.
00:15:32Thank you so much.
00:15:32I love how, just even at the beginning,
00:15:35like everybody is kind of bringing different sides of themselves.
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:39Like, we know you have a great voice.
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that,
00:15:42but you just looked like you were having fun.
00:15:44Paisley gave you some really great notes on the guitar.
00:15:47You had some Paisley moves going on in the best way.
00:15:50I'll take it.
00:15:51Thank you so much.
00:15:51It means a lot.
00:15:54I mean, it was fabulous.
00:15:55You could tell that you were so at home on stage,
00:15:58and that moment when you stopped playing,
00:16:00you really leaned in.
00:16:00It was great to see how you were connecting to the crowd.
00:16:03I mean, it felt like a party out here.
00:16:04You saw how all the girls were screaming.
00:16:07Thank you guys so much.

00:22:40Absolutely incredible
00:22:42Because we are here
00:22:43For a competition
00:22:44It does help
00:22:45When you're in those
00:22:45Peak pressure moments
00:22:46To be able to look around
00:22:47And be like
00:22:47Okay
00:22:48Look at that palm tree
00:22:50That palm tree's chilling
00:22:52I'm gonna be chilling
00:22:53You know
00:22:54I'm feeling pretty
00:22:56Zen'd out
00:22:56That feels good

00:22:59Zen moment
00:23:04You're funny

00:23:09I'll be singing
00:23:09Pink Pony Club

00:23:11Pink Pony Club

00:23:15Dancing at the beach
00:23:16I was floored by Genevieve
00:23:18Yes
00:23:18She knows who she is already
00:23:29It's a real sort of
00:23:30Rock and roll energy
00:23:35All of this spontaneity
00:23:37Just like the whimsy
00:23:38When you were starting
00:23:39And you're laughing
00:23:39And just do it
00:23:40Just do it
00:23:41I'm not sure
00:23:42If there's like
00:23:42Something they can do
00:23:43In the beginning
00:23:44Before you get into the song
00:23:45But I almost wanted
00:23:46To meet you
00:23:46In the intro
00:23:47Yeah
00:23:48Before you get into the song
00:23:49Because I feel like
00:23:50That's you
00:23:51Like kind of bring
00:23:51The personality
00:23:52Like right out the gate
00:23:53Yes
00:23:53Kiki almost immediately
00:23:55Like saw me as a person
00:23:56She's like
00:23:57You're a showman
00:23:58So we worked on
00:23:59Kind of incorporating
00:24:00A little bit of that
00:24:00Kind of attitude to it
00:24:03American Idol
00:24:05It's Genevieve
00:24:05Are you all ready
00:24:06To go to the
00:24:07Pink Pony Club
00:24:09Yes we are
00:24:10I just hope that
00:24:11What I want to show
00:24:12Comes out the right way
00:24:13On that stage
00:24:13Pink Pony Club
00:24:23All right
00:24:24I'm gonna need some help
00:24:24On this one y'all

00:24:28Yeah
00:24:29I know
00:24:31You wanted me to stay
00:24:32I can't ignore
00:24:34The crazy visions
00:24:35Of me in LA
00:24:38I heard
00:24:39That there's a special place
00:24:42Boys and girls
00:24:43Can all be queens
00:24:45Every single day
00:24:46I'm having wicked dreams
00:24:49Of leaving Tennessee
00:24:51Here's Santa Monica
00:24:53I swear it's calling me
00:24:56Won't make my mama proud
00:24:58It's gonna cause a scene
00:25:00She sees her baby girl
00:25:02I know she's gonna scream
00:25:04God
00:25:05What have you done?
00:25:07You're a Pink Pony Club
00:25:09You're a Pink Pony Club
00:25:10And you dance at the club
00:25:12Oh mama
00:25:14I'm just having fun
00:25:16On the stage in my heels
00:25:19That's where I belong
00:25:20Down at the
00:25:22Pink Pony Club
00:25:24I'm gonna keep on dancing

00:25:32Red Hollywood

00:25:55Oh
00:25:56Oh, sing it.
00:26:38You are who you are, wherever you are.
00:26:41There you go.
00:26:43Singing that anthem, right?
00:26:45Singing that anthem.
00:26:47Judges, did you feel that anthem, Lionel?
00:26:49Did I feel it?
00:26:51Are you kidding me?
00:26:52It almost blew my wig off.
00:26:54What are you talking about?
00:26:55There's nothing more exciting when someone opens their mouths and it comes out clear, strong, powerful.
00:27:04It was amazing.
00:27:05I love what you did.
00:27:05Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:08I remember early on when you were talking about what kind of artist you wanted to be.
00:27:13You wanted to occupy that pop rock space.
00:27:16And I love that you took this giant pop anthem and toughened it up a little bit.
00:27:21I love the gloves.
00:27:22I love the outfit.
00:27:23The second you walk out on stage, it's like, what's this girl about to do?
00:27:28And it's fun.
00:27:29You were having fun with it.
00:27:31Thank you, Keri.
00:27:32Yeah, keep bringing the energy like that.
00:27:34I told Keri, kind of whispered to her, I'm like, every time you're on stage, my eyes are just able
00:27:39to find you.
00:27:40When you walk out, you're like...
00:27:42Not the boot.
00:27:43It's you.
00:27:44No, it's not the boots.
00:27:45My eyes go to you, and that's what stars have to have happen to be a star.
00:27:50I just loved how you commanded it, and you're having fun in the moment.
00:27:54Thank you so much.
00:27:55I love the way that you let the stage know right out, like, y'all, hey, we're here to have
00:28:00fun.
00:28:00I'm going to need some help with y'all on this one.
00:28:02You're so you on stage.
00:28:03You have such a unique vibe.
00:28:05You did excellent.
00:28:06I was in the Pink Pony Club.
00:28:08Yes, Kareem.
00:28:10Fabulous.

00:28:51We're going to take a quick breather, but we're gearing up for schoolteacher Daniel Stallworth.
00:28:58And his tribute to the one and only Lionel Richie.
00:29:02Idol is back in just a few minutes.
00:29:04Whoa.

00:29:30Here he is with Brad and Kiki.
00:29:36I've heard a little bit about what you do, but tell us.
00:29:38So you are?
00:29:39I'm a schoolteacher.
00:29:40Elementary music schoolteacher.
00:29:42So how old are the students?
00:29:43They are ages 4 to 11.
00:29:45Before I left, I had a student tell me, good luck, Mr. Stallworth.
00:29:48Oh, man.
00:29:48You are going to make it.
00:29:50Don't give up.
00:29:50Oh, my goodness.
00:29:52And that's my motto.
00:29:52Look at this little nose.
00:29:53That is very lovely.
00:29:54Like the letter that his student left him.
00:29:56Oh, and I'm...
00:29:56Encouraging him on this.
00:29:57I have a soft spot in my heart for schoolteacher, my mother being one.
00:30:00And it's like to see a teacher where you know there's a school watching.
00:30:05I'm missing the kids at school for sure, but it's great to have some time to chase my dreams
00:30:09and just simply relax because I feel like a kid all over again.
00:30:13Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:30:16For this round, I'll be performing All Night Long by Lana Ritchie.
00:30:19That is bold.
00:30:20That's going for it.
00:30:22That is swinging from the fence.
00:30:23I chose that song because it's a party vibe.
00:30:25We're in Hawaii.
00:30:26I feel like that's the best song to fit the occasion.
00:30:29We're going to party, Karamu, Fiesta forever.
00:30:35It's a classic song.
00:30:36I don't know who doesn't love this song.
00:30:37I've never sung it live.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:39While I'm standing here in front of him, I'll just do it.
00:30:41Yes!
00:30:41Yeah, for the first time.
00:30:42All night long.
00:30:45It could be a tricky move doing All Night Long and Lionel.
00:30:48Yeah, that's the riskiest thing anybody's doing.
00:30:52All night long.
00:30:57Yeah!
00:30:59Great voice!
00:31:00So this is like the first I've heard an echo through here that somebody said.
00:31:04Are you going to acknowledge Lionel sitting there a little bit?
00:31:06Got to.
00:31:07You got to call Lionel out.
00:31:08I got to get him out.
00:31:08I got to get him out.
00:31:09I like that Daniel's not being afraid to acknowledge Lionel.
00:31:12If you need me to help you get Lionel up dancing, I'm going to be like.
00:31:16Singing this song is definitely a risk, but I would love to honor Lionel Richie.
00:31:21I definitely want to do this song justice.
00:31:29La, la.
00:31:34La, la.
00:31:37La, la.
00:31:38La, la.
00:31:39Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:31:42Go, la.
00:31:44La, la.
00:31:44Raise the roof and have some fun.
00:31:47Way to go.
00:31:49Throw away the work to be done.
00:31:53Let the music play
00:32:12Come on
00:32:22All night, all night long
00:32:24Come on, man
00:32:25All night, all night long

00:33:45Oh, goodness
00:33:47He showed a different deal there
00:33:50He showed a different deal
00:33:53I'm gonna give a compliment that I've never said before
00:33:57A lot of people
00:33:58A lot of people will try to do that song
00:34:00You took the song and made it yours
00:34:03It was amazing
00:34:05Now
00:34:07I am telling you
00:34:09If you put that out tomorrow
00:34:11I'll spit it with you
00:34:12You got it
00:34:16To that point
00:34:17You see people try and mimic you too much
00:34:19Yeah, I mean the problem is they try to sing it like I sing it
00:34:22Yeah, yeah
00:34:23He took it and just flipped it on his side and made it a totally new song
00:34:29And I'm telling it was so refreshing
00:34:31Thank you
00:34:32Props
00:34:34Daniel, it was so good
00:34:36I was sad it didn't last all night long
00:34:39I loved it
00:34:41And when we heard you do it yesterday
00:34:42The vocals were great and it was the vibe
00:34:44But seeing you with the band and the way that you were engaging with the audience
00:34:47I mean you saw us dancing, man, you brought it to life
00:34:49It was excellent
00:34:50Thank you, thank you, thank you
00:34:52Daniel, your voice is insane
00:34:55It is amazing how you did really put yourself into it
00:34:59And you weren't trying to copy, you were trying to be you
00:35:01Exactly
00:35:02And I could see you starting to loosen up a little bit
00:35:05I want to encourage you to just loosen up even more

00:37:50I'm going to get a house
00:37:52I'm going to give some money to my parents

00:39:04Absolutely
00:39:04That was absolutely magical
00:39:06When we saw you there

00:40:27Kindle
00:40:31Having the industry people choose me. I'm just honored shows me that I'm supposed to be here
00:40:39This round I am seeing a Noah Kahn song called call your mom. Oh, yes, I
00:40:46I'm kind of struggling with whether I'm gonna use the guitar or not use the guitar
00:40:50So you play I do play the guitar right, but I really want to be able to get into like
00:40:55a performance side for this performance
00:40:57I very much want to be open and vulnerable
00:41:03I really resonate with this song in the sense that
00:41:09I myself have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole entire life
00:41:14So we're late. I think we're all struggling. You know at different times with the little enemy
00:41:19I'll drive I'll drive all night. I liked you without the guitar what you did standing there were so vulnerable
00:41:27How are you feeling you're somewhere still in between I'm gonna take your guys's advice. I'm gonna get on the
00:41:31stage
00:41:31I'm gonna not play the guitar. I think that'll be I think that'll be really magic
00:41:35I'm just hoping that by the end of it. Yeah those who may be questioning whether they should keep going
00:41:40or not do

00:44:09The bob is bobbing
00:44:11Okay?
00:44:12And I'm so glad that you decided not to do the guitar
00:44:15Because to see those hands free

00:44:30It is impossible to turn away
00:44:33Wow
00:44:33Like it's impossible to take your eyes off of you
00:44:37The way you just were free in all of it
00:44:40Putting your hands in the air
00:44:42I'm not sure I breathed while you were singing
00:44:44It was beautiful
00:44:46Thank you so much
00:44:47Wow
00:44:48Wow

00:46:06You are a star
00:46:08Yes, you are
00:46:16Looking good
00:46:17You're back on American Idol
00:46:19It's our annual visit here to Alani at Disney Resort & Spa in Koalina, Hawaii
00:46:23And the top 20 have been soaking up all there is to do and making memories along the way
00:46:29Take a look at this, right?
00:46:34To be here after a 12 hour flight from New York where it's currently snowing
00:46:38It feels incredible
00:46:43This is the first time I've ever been to Hawaii
00:46:45The weather obviously is much nicer than it is in Missouri
00:46:47There's about a foot of snow there
00:46:49I feel like this is the most beautiful place on the planet
00:46:52The vibes here have been relaxing
00:46:56We're on the beach, we're in great weather, we're having fun
00:46:58But also we're here with 20 of my friends
00:47:00Made a lot of memories with friends
00:47:02We're having a blast
00:47:05Paradise is an understatement
00:47:10I still gotta get in that lazy river
00:47:12Gotta get in on that
00:47:13By the way, you want it? Are you down?
00:47:15I'm ready to go
00:47:16Okay
00:47:16I'm ready
00:47:17Matching bathing suits, Lionel, you and me
00:47:18Oh no, no
00:47:19What? What?
00:47:20Now let's see how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer
00:47:23Helped Cutter Bradley on his epic Daughtry song pick
00:47:26Here it is
00:47:29This is the first long flight in good grief
00:47:32Total hours was probably like 12
00:47:35I've never been anywhere like this
00:47:37Especially not Hawaii
00:47:38And it is way prettier than the pictures
00:47:41The atmosphere is awesome
00:47:43The people are great
00:47:44We got Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and all them
00:47:47They're having a good time
00:47:48It is Mickey! What's up dude?
00:47:50I'm in the top 20 on American Idol
00:47:52Can you believe that?
00:47:53I'll remember this for the rest of my life
00:47:55I was blown away
00:47:57What could I say?
00:48:00I'm singing It's Not Over by Daughtry
00:48:02When I was real little
00:48:03My dad got me a mp3 player
00:48:05And he loaded that thing on with the music he listened to
00:48:08You know, everything from Daughtry to old 70's rock and stuff
00:48:12I really fell in love with Chris Daughtry
00:48:14And just how he performs and carries himself
00:48:17Wow, cause yeah, I guess when Daughtry was on American Idol
00:48:19Which was like two years old?
00:48:21Yeah, I was three actually
00:48:22Definitely one of my biggest inspirations
00:48:25And I would love to take the path he took
00:48:27It's not over
00:48:30So I'll be performing without a guitar
00:48:32So I'm gonna try to not be nervous this round
00:48:35So you usually play guitar?
00:48:37I usually play guitar
00:48:38Can we have the mic?
00:48:39Are you gonna hold it?
00:48:40Yeah
00:48:40Maybe you were just in it
00:48:42So you're not thinking
00:48:42Your hand was kind of here
00:48:44And you were doing this
00:48:45Oh, interesting
00:48:45And it was just this
00:48:47You know
00:48:47So now you got a mic
00:48:49Yeah
00:48:49And this hand is free to
00:48:50Do whatever
00:48:51Enunciate
00:48:52Whatever it is
00:48:53Yeah
00:48:53Let's start over
00:48:57And try to do it right this time around
00:48:59I just kept looking at that hand thinking
00:49:01This is a guy who's not used to not to doing this
00:49:03And sure enough that was true
00:49:04Guys like me that play the guitar
00:49:06When first time that you're like
00:49:07You're going to just sing this this evening with a microphone
00:49:09It's like
00:49:10What do I do with my hands?
00:49:12I look ridiculous
00:49:13If I don't really figure out what I'm gonna do
00:49:16As long as he can do that
00:49:17I think he's gonna be fine
00:49:18Because the voice is there
00:49:21You're gonna be great man
00:49:22Thank y'all
00:49:31I was blown away
00:49:33What could I say?
00:49:36It all seemed to make sense
00:49:38You're taking away everything
00:49:42And I can't deal with it
00:49:44I try to see the good in life
00:49:48The good things in life are hard to find
00:49:51We'll blow it away
00:49:53We'll blow it away
00:49:54We'll make this something good
00:50:00But when I try to do it right this time around
00:50:04It's not over
00:50:06I try to do it right this time around
00:50:10It's not over
00:50:13It's not over
00:50:14A part of me standing in the grass
00:50:17This love is killing me
00:50:22But you're the only one
00:50:24It's not over
00:50:47It's not over
00:50:48It's not over
00:50:51It's not over
00:50:52It's not over
00:50:54It's not over
00:50:54It's not over
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:57Try to do it right this time around
00:51:01It's not over
00:51:04There's a part of me standing in the ground
00:51:08This love is killing me
00:51:13But you're the only one
00:51:15It's not over
00:51:28There he is
00:51:31Well done
00:51:32Flashback Daughtry
00:51:33Man, spending time with him
00:51:35Seeing you do that so many years later
00:51:37Your dad head banging down there
00:51:39In the audience
00:51:41He was singing along as well
00:51:42Yeah, he was
00:51:43He was like listening in stereo there
00:51:46Judges, what did you think? Lionel Richie
00:51:48Well, I'll tell you what I was listening to
00:51:49Carrie didn't miss not one note
00:51:52Not one lyric
00:51:54Okay, and between that and your dad head banging
00:51:57What the heck is going on around here?
00:52:00You were familiar with that
00:52:01I got right away that that was in your wheelhouse
00:52:04You were very, very in pocket
00:52:07And it showed, it showed really great
00:52:10Thank you
00:52:11I agree with Lionel
00:52:12It was just so good to see you lose yourself on stage
00:52:15Like seeing you performing yesterday
00:52:16It was great
00:52:17We had the vibe
00:52:18But with the band and the element going
00:52:20I could see you just embodying it
00:52:22And this is definitely your lane
00:52:23For sure
00:52:23Thank you so much
00:52:25Your lane is
00:52:27That's the perfect way to put it
00:52:29I feel like it was such a smart song choice for you

00:54:50Here is the lesson Brad and Kiki
00:54:52Hadford college student
00:54:53Jesse Finling
00:55:04Welcome to Aulani everybody
00:55:05Right this way
00:55:08My family is my biggest support system
00:55:10Being able to like have that moment
00:55:11To be with them
00:55:12And do something fun
00:55:14Like the treasure hunt experience
00:55:15Was really special to me
00:55:16Looks like me in the morning
00:55:17My mom and dad went on their honeymoon here
00:55:20They've always said that they
00:55:21Were going to come back someday
00:55:22And for me to be the reason why they are
00:55:24You know it makes my heart happy
00:55:27Nice to meet you
00:55:29Being in the top 20 is surreal
00:55:32I've never really stood in front of a mic
00:55:35And performed in front of like a whole crowd
00:55:36But I'm really pushing myself this time
00:55:38To come out of my comfort zone
00:55:39Just knowing that America is going to be voting
00:55:42That's another thing that I have to think about
00:55:45Which is why I chose this round
00:55:46To not just be by the mic stand
00:55:48And move around
00:55:49Lost and insecure
00:55:52I'm singing you found me by the fray
00:55:54It's about being lost and insecure
00:55:56It's something that I connect to
00:55:58You found me
00:56:04When I was little
00:56:05Having a stutter made me introverted
00:56:08There's been times where I felt lost
00:56:10I was more of a shy kid
00:56:12And kind of anxious
00:56:13I've always said
00:56:13I don't know if it's just being in Hawaii
00:56:15Sure
00:56:15It was a lot more gritty
00:56:17Than it has been in the past
00:56:18I don't think you're made or broken by
00:56:20Anything being exactly right
00:56:23Be a little imperfect
00:56:24In a good way
00:56:25Yeah
00:56:25American Idol has been
00:56:27One of the best journeys of my life
00:56:29With each round
00:56:30I've gotten so much more confident in myself
00:56:33And it's like going to the
00:56:34Come on, Liv
00:56:38I think have fun out there and you're going to nail this
00:56:40I think it's ironic that I'm singing a song about being lost and insecure in a moment
00:56:44Where I feel like found and like the best I ever have
00:56:48Yeah, I'm proud of myself
00:56:58I found God on the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:04Where the West was all but one
00:57:11Where were you when everything was falling apart
00:57:18All my days were spent by a telephone that never rang and all I needed was a phone that never
00:57:32came to the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:37I'm lost and insecure
00:57:42You found me, you found me lying on the floor
00:57:48Surrounded, surrounded wide, you have to wait
00:57:54You found me, you found me
00:58:04Worthy morning
00:58:06The city breaks
00:58:09I've been falling
00:58:12For years and years and years and years
00:58:16You never left me no messages
00:58:18You never sent me no letters
00:58:21You got some kind of nerve
00:58:25Kicking all I had
00:58:33Lost and insecure
00:58:38You found me, you found me
00:58:41Lyin' on the floor
00:58:44Where were you?
00:58:47Oh, if I may, why'd you have to wait?
00:59:01If I may.
00:59:23I think we can just go to the voting right now after something like that and chanting.
00:59:27Take a look at four judges on their feet.
00:59:31In the beginning, those first couple of notes, I said, now, what's going on?
00:59:34You know, I wasn't sure what we were headed.
00:59:36But obviously, we all feel a little nerves, and you've been singing, you've been rehearsing.
00:59:40But I saw you finding.
00:59:41As soon as you grabbed that mic and you came forward and you lost yourself in the song,
00:59:46everything after that was perfection.
00:59:48Thanks, Kiki.
00:59:49And you closed it in very strong.
00:59:50And that long note, I'm just saying.
00:59:54Boy, I got the mic in my hand.
00:59:55Boy, you got the mic in your hand.
00:59:56Appreciate it.
00:59:57I, for one, kind of love that the beginning was a little shaky because you've been so polished
01:00:06and perfect this whole time.
01:00:07It kind of reminded us all that you're human.
01:00:10And the way that you, like, shook it off and sunk into the song.
01:00:14I mean, that's the most, you know, movement we've seen from you.
01:00:19And it was working.
01:00:20It was wonderful.
01:00:22And the end was just absolutely soaring.
01:00:26Thank you so much.
01:00:27I found myself, like, moving to the edge of my seat.
01:00:30I was like, all right, Jessie, where you at, baby?
01:00:33Where you at?
01:00:34There you are.
01:00:35I can settle back down.
01:00:36And I remember I used to get moments on stage.
01:00:39And I look around and I'd be like, oh, my God, how did I get here?
01:00:43Those emotions are fun to have to battle and battle back.
01:00:47Yes.
01:00:47And that's what you did.
01:00:48As the song kept building and the band, you showed us stuff you haven't showed us with your voice thus
01:00:54far.
01:00:55Thank you, Luke.
01:00:55I was praying the whole time.
01:00:57Grab the mic.
01:00:59Take it out of the stand.
01:01:01Command the stage.
01:01:03Take charge.
01:01:04And you did it.
01:01:06Ah!
01:01:06Thanks, Lana.
01:01:07I mean, that's how you get the crowd to go right to you.
01:01:13That was fantastic.
01:01:14Thanks, Lana.
01:01:16And you sing now for your mom.
01:01:18That's one of her favorite songs.
01:01:19My mom loves The Frey.
01:01:20She's right over there.
01:01:21One of her favorite songs.
01:01:22So I'm glad I got to sing that for her and for my family.

01:01:43Thanks, guys.
01:01:49Get ready for Hannah Harper.
01:01:51She's sitting in the idol stage next here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
01:01:55Stay with us.
01:01:56Jesse!
01:01:57Jesse!
01:01:58Jesse!
01:01:59Jesse!
01:02:06Welcome back to the ever-magical Disney's Aulani Resort for our very first voting show of the season.
01:02:12We're so excited to have Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer teamed up to mentor the top 20.
01:02:16Here's what unfolded with Missouri's Hannah Harper.
01:02:21I think it'll be surreal to be up on the stage and see my kids.
01:02:25All of it feels like a dream to be able to share this with them.
01:02:28Everyone's so happy to be here.
01:02:30They got their hair a whole bunch of different colors, and it was all crazy and fun.
01:02:33I love it.
01:02:34They got tatted up.
01:02:35Oh, my gosh.
01:02:36And had a meet-and-greet with Mickey.
01:02:38It was a sweet experience.
01:02:39I'm just soaking it all in.
01:02:42Hey, Hannah.
01:02:44What's up, girl?
01:02:45Ohana round was incredible.
01:02:47It was really exciting, but also terrifying.
01:02:49I would have loved to see you throw your hands up there and just let it out.
01:02:53I'm not used to not having my guitar in my hands.
01:02:55Get in the habit of opening up.
01:02:57This time, I wanted to do the same thing from the last round and put the guitar down.
01:03:01I'm having a hard time getting out of my body, and especially Bluegrass.
01:03:04You stand in one spot, you do your thing, and then you walk off the stage.
01:03:06Yeah, of course.
01:03:07So you're kind of challenging yourself.
01:03:08I love to hear that.
01:03:091000%.
01:03:09I'm scared, y'all.
01:03:10Don't be.
01:03:11Don't be scared.
01:03:12To be more comfortable in my body.
01:03:13That's my goal for the next round.
01:03:15Oh, fear is a tyrant with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:03:20Your voice is everything I love about this style of music.
01:03:25Instead of maybe thinking to yourself about, I got to move around the stage, more so think about, I got
01:03:29to get the folks engaged.
01:03:30Midway through mentoring, my kids stepped in.
01:03:33Getting to have that moment with my family just to breathe for a second calms all your anxiety, you know?
01:03:38Captives free, there ain't no grave.
01:03:42It was beautiful to just see how she came alive.
01:03:45She grew up in a family band.
01:03:46It makes sense why that opened her up a little bit more.
01:03:48Could hold his body down.
01:03:52She's definitely seasoned, but I think she's feeling like, how do I do what I do on a show like
01:03:57this?
01:03:58Look for your family in the audience.
01:03:59Capture the feeling that you have when they're up there with you.
01:04:02Look at them, I'll cry.
01:04:03But ain't nothing wrong with crying.
01:04:05The entire journey through all of this, I'm having to just constantly peel layers off.
01:04:10I hope that I'm showing my boys that no matter how old they are, be open to learning and to
01:04:15just be resilient.
01:04:25Oh, fear is a tide with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:04:32Fear is a lie, he's always telling me to run.
01:04:37Oh, love is a resurrection.
01:04:40Love is a trumpet sound.
01:04:43Love is my weapon.
01:04:46I'm gonna take that giant down.
01:04:54Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life.
01:05:00And there on the tree, the Lamb of God was crucified.
01:05:05Then he went on down to hell, took back every key.
01:05:12He rose up as a lion, and he said all captives free.
01:05:17There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:27Oh, no.
01:05:28There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:38Oh, no.
01:05:47There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:56Can't hold him down
01:05:59There ain't no way
01:06:04Can't hold his body down
01:06:10Yeah!
01:06:21It's over. You did it.
01:06:24Feel good?
01:06:25Feel good.
01:06:26She delivered. See, here's the whole point.
01:06:28See, when you can actually be the storyteller
01:06:31and then sometimes in the middle of that performance
01:06:34you went from singing to preaching.
01:06:36Yes, sir.
01:06:37I mean, what I'm saying to you is at that point
01:06:40when you see everybody going,
01:06:43Okay, that means we're listening.
01:06:45And you got our attention. You did a great job.
01:06:47Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
01:06:49First of all, everybody performs different.
01:06:51I think that's a big part of this competition, right?
01:06:53It's like not doing what you think you should do,
01:06:56really embodying what you bring to the stage.
01:06:58And that's what you did.
01:07:00You don't have to do what nobody do
01:07:01because when you start singing, girl,
01:07:02and you was pointing, you was commanding to us,
01:07:05we were locked in.
01:07:06It was excellent.
01:07:07Thank you so much.
01:07:08Very moving, very moving.
01:07:11I think you started a new genre, resurrection rock.
01:07:15Okay, I'm here for it.
01:07:17I love the whole performance.
01:07:18I think your voice is so listenable.
01:07:21It's so easy on the ears.
01:07:23And then finally we see you get a little more power
01:07:27behind that voice.
01:07:28So you're showing me you're ready to branch out and grow.
01:07:31Definitely my favorite performance I've seen you do.
01:07:33Wow.
01:07:34Thank you, I appreciate it.
01:07:35There you go.
01:07:36Great song choice.
01:07:38Your voice gave me chills the entire time.
01:07:42We got a glimpse of like a fire that is in you,
01:07:45that I feel like the more you go through this whole process,
01:07:50I hope to see more of.
01:07:53You remind me a lot of myself when I was on the show.
01:07:57Wow.
01:07:57When I would be on stage, I'd be like, I'd look out,
01:08:00I'd be like, what are you doing out there, hand?
01:08:02Like, what's going on?
01:08:04Why are you pointing?
01:08:05And all of a sudden, it's like things would kind of
01:08:07start falling apart because I would start thinking about
01:08:09what I was doing.
01:08:10Try not to.
01:08:12Just tell the story.
01:08:13There you go.
01:08:13And don't worry about what any of this is doing
01:08:15because I feel like we got some glimpses of that.
01:08:18And it's awesome.
01:08:19Very good.
01:08:19So keep at it.
01:08:20Thank you so much.
01:08:21Very good.

01:09:10Perhaps it's Murphy, North Carolina's Braden Rumpfeld, maybe?
01:09:15You've been singing a long time?
01:09:17Since I was able to speak.
01:09:18Yeah.
01:09:19Professionally or just in church?
01:09:20My dad's a pastor.
01:09:21My dad's a pastor.
01:09:21My dad's a kid.
01:09:22Look at us.
01:09:22We turned out all right.
01:09:23Right, a little PKs.
01:09:25Yeah, right.
01:09:25I'll be singing Love on the Brain this round by Rihanna.
01:09:28My girlfriend suggested that I do this song.
01:09:31And you got me like, oh, what you want from me?
01:09:41Brayden, Brayden, Brayden.
01:09:43Yeah, man.
01:09:43He blew me away.
01:09:45I mean.
01:09:45Baby, you got me like, oh.
01:09:50That's maybe my favorite thing about this show is the person that
01:09:53walks out and you just go, wait a minute.
01:09:56No way that's happening.
01:09:58I don't really know what to do on stage.
01:09:59Like, I'll move around and stuff.
01:10:01But it's just kind of stuff that I've seen on the internet.
01:10:03You don't have to worry about anything you're doing.
01:10:08No, you don't.
01:10:09No, like, don't.
01:10:09Just stay right there and do that.
01:10:11Like, just do that.
01:10:14This is my first time in Hawaii and it's also my family's first time.
01:10:18It's awesome.
01:10:19My Ohana song, me and my brother played together.
01:10:21I mean, he's right there with me through everything.
01:10:23You know, you're my ride or die, like, safety net.
01:10:26Because if I mess up, like, you're right there.
01:10:27Seeing you do what you've always wanted to do.
01:10:30Sharing that experience with you, I don't, there's not a better film.
01:10:33Yeah, yeah.
01:10:34Now I think it's time for me to push myself and chase this dream on my own.
01:10:39That smooth fire.
01:10:40I want to make it as far in this competition as I can.
01:10:44I'm going to try and win it.
01:10:51And you got me like, oh, what you want from me.
01:10:58What you want from me.
01:11:00And I tried to buy your pretty heart but the price was too high.
01:11:06Baby, you got me like, oh, you love when I fall apart.
01:11:15Fall apart.
01:11:16So you can put me together and throw me against the wall.
01:11:24And baby, I'm fish fire with fire just to get close.
01:11:31Can we burn something, baby?
01:11:34And I'll run for miles just to get a taste.
01:11:38There must be love on the grain.
01:12:00And it keeps cursing my name
01:12:04No matter what I do
01:12:06I'm no good without you
01:12:08And I can't get enough
01:12:11You got me like I
01:12:20Don't you stop loving me
01:12:22Don't quit loving me
01:12:24Just start loving me
01:12:26Must be love
01:12:31Must be love
01:12:36Don't stop loving me
01:12:38Don't quit loving me
01:12:40Oh, I can't get enough
01:12:44Must be love
01:12:48Hold the pain
01:13:07From the first notes
01:13:10It was like
01:13:11Just
01:13:13What's that word again
01:13:18You just have an incredible voice
01:13:20And you have like this aw shucks thing about you
01:13:22That just makes people just like you
01:13:26And you're so stinking good
01:13:27You guys
01:13:29We did a really good job
01:13:30Picking the top 20
01:13:32Right
01:13:32Steve, come on
01:13:33That's right
01:13:34Right
01:13:34Come on
01:13:37Yeah, that was the thing
01:13:38I mean, when you start singing
01:13:39You're like, whoa
01:13:40What is that?
01:13:41And now I think
01:13:42We just got to get you to build on it
01:13:44And build on it
01:13:45And get some swagger
01:13:46And even more and more confidence
01:13:48The best way to know what you're doing
01:13:50Is look at the girls
01:13:51And Kiki was about to fall out of her chair
01:13:54She had ants in her pants
01:13:56Come on
01:13:57That's kind of important in the music business
01:13:59Right, Lionel?
01:14:00Absolutely
01:14:03Understand, man
01:14:04You've got this instrument
01:14:05And use it to your advantage
01:14:07And work the room
01:14:08And just keep delivering

01:14:11Till it ends
01:14:12Just slay, slay, slay

01:15:55Your Monday evening
01:15:56With us
01:15:57We hope you've been
01:15:57Enjoying the show
01:15:58As much as we've been
01:15:59Enjoying our time
01:16:00Here at Aulani
01:16:01We've got one more
01:16:02For you tonight
01:16:03A few weeks ago
01:16:04He was working
01:16:05As a dementia care technician
01:16:07Back in Maryland
01:16:07Now
01:16:08He's in your top 20
01:16:10Getting expert advice
01:16:11From Brad Paisley
01:16:12And Kiki Palmer
01:16:13Here is Brooks
01:16:16Somebody said
01:16:17Got a new friend
01:16:20I'm doing dancing
01:16:22On my own
01:16:22Does she love you
01:16:25Better than I can
01:16:29You are really
01:16:31Angelic
01:16:32Right
01:16:32Thank you
01:16:33Unbelievable
01:16:34Tom
01:16:35Thank you
01:16:36So unique
01:16:37Oh my gosh
01:16:38That voice
01:16:40I've always had trouble
01:16:41Fitting in
01:16:42I grew up
01:16:42Keeping everything in
01:16:43And I never told
01:16:45Anyone anything
01:16:46I was never vulnerable
01:16:47So this whole song
01:16:49Is just going to be
01:16:49Me looking back
01:16:50At my younger self
01:16:51And growing into
01:16:52The man I am now
01:16:53Your favorite experience
01:16:54On American Idol
01:16:55So far
01:16:56Waterside
01:16:56Being here
01:16:59I feel like
01:17:00I was invited
01:17:01Into something
01:17:02I'm not alone anymore
01:17:03I've made so many
01:17:04Good friends here
01:17:05And it's really
01:17:06Just beautiful
01:17:07Oh
01:17:09Brooke's song choice
01:17:10Was difficult
01:17:11I'm giving it my
01:17:13I do want to look
01:17:14At the first line
01:17:15Of each course
01:17:16There was a really high
01:17:16Note in there
01:17:17Yeah it's imperative
01:17:18That he doesn't
01:17:19Miss that tonight
01:17:21I do think
01:17:22That could derail him
01:17:23When you're doing it
01:17:24What do you think
01:17:25It's missing
01:17:26Are you missing air
01:17:27I think confidence
01:17:28I think it's just confidence
01:17:29Okay
01:17:30Confidence
01:17:30Is about doing
01:17:32What's true to us
01:17:33If you need to adjust
01:17:35Adjust
01:17:35It's your range
01:17:37I think we're seeing
01:17:38A lot of times
01:17:38Especially in a competition
01:17:39We get caught up in
01:17:40Oh I gotta hit the big note
01:17:42I gotta do the thing
01:17:43You just gotta do
01:17:43What you do well
01:17:44And what you have
01:17:45Is a winning voice
01:17:47Your character
01:17:48Your tone
01:17:49You know what I mean
01:17:50And as long as you're hitting
01:17:51Each thing with confidence
01:17:52For you
01:17:53Man you got it in the bag
01:18:00Somebody said
01:18:02Got a new friend
01:18:08Does she love
01:18:10You're better than I can
01:18:16It's a big black sky
01:18:18Over my town
01:18:24I know you're right
01:18:26I bet she's around
01:18:32Yeah I know
01:18:35It's stupid
01:18:36But I just gotta see it
01:18:39But I just gotta see it
01:18:39For myself
01:18:41I'm in the corner
01:18:43Watching you kiss her
01:18:45Oh
01:18:46And I'm right over here
01:18:51Why can't you see me
01:18:54Oh

01:19:10And oh now
01:19:14I'm so far away
01:19:16Still so near
01:19:18The lights come on
01:19:20The music dies
01:19:22But you don't see me
01:19:25Standing here
01:19:26I just came
01:19:28I just came
01:19:29To say goodbye
01:19:30I'm in the corner
01:19:33Watching you kiss her
01:19:35Oh
01:19:38I'm giving it miles
01:19:41I'm not the guy you're taking home
01:19:45Ooh

01:20:09Standing here
01:20:25Wow
01:20:32Brooks
01:20:33You really do
01:20:34Have one of the most
01:20:35Magical voices
01:20:36I've ever heard
01:20:37I mean it's cinematic
01:20:38It's soundtrack
01:20:39I'm in the movie
01:20:40Then everything ended
01:20:41I'm at the lake
01:20:42And I don't know
01:20:43What happened to my life
01:20:44Type voice
01:20:45It's really insane
01:20:46And I know this is probably
01:20:47All so much for you
01:20:49You know
01:20:49I know when we were
01:20:49Doing the mentoring
01:20:50And everything
01:20:51And you were like
01:20:51You know what
01:20:52When I do the big notes
01:20:52I get nervous
01:20:53And everything like that
01:20:54But you must
01:20:55Stay in this competition
01:20:56This is my call out
01:20:58To America
01:20:59Thank you
01:20:59You must
01:21:00Because I've got to see you grow
01:21:02And I've got to be a part
01:21:04Of watching you
01:21:04Become the kind of artist
01:21:05That I know you will be
01:21:07That's exactly
01:21:07Incredible
01:21:11I am so glad
01:21:14We know you
01:21:15Thank you
01:21:16Now if I could just get you
01:21:19To scare us all to death
01:21:21The next time you perform
01:21:24If you took it out
01:21:25Of the mic stand
01:21:27And just did that
01:21:29We'd all faint
01:21:32Because all the confidence
01:21:33Is right here
01:21:35So if you just give us
01:21:37This one time
01:21:37Give him a little of that
01:21:38Give him a little of that
01:21:39Give him a little of that

01:21:48I need all of you

01:21:51That he's never done
01:21:52This before
01:21:54He's played guitar
01:21:56In front of people

01:22:29Voices like yours
01:22:30Don't come along
01:22:31Much
01:22:32Because the uniqueness
01:22:34Of it
01:22:35Is so
01:22:36Instantaneous
01:22:37And as you
01:22:39Get going
01:22:40With this thing
01:22:41Just stay humble
01:22:43But have the confidence
01:22:45To really stand up there
01:22:46And trust that people
01:22:48Are going to react
01:22:49To your voice
01:22:50In ways that you
01:22:52Could have never imagined
01:22:54Because it is so
01:22:55Not what we're expecting
01:22:57When we see you
01:22:58Every time you start singing
01:23:00I see like the movie
