00:03:59Let's talk voting, yeah.
00:04:01So many easy ways to do it.

00:04:43This week, they have the awesome experience of being mentored by country music legend Brad Paisley.
00:04:50And singer and award-winning actress Kiki Palmer.
00:04:54All right, girl.
00:04:54Here's how it went down with the Grange Georgians.
00:04:58Filmingly.
00:05:01We're in Hawaii.
00:05:02It's like something out of a movie.
00:05:05Four.
00:05:06I love golfing.
00:05:06I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world, but I just love going out there and strifling down the
00:05:11middle.
00:05:12Back at home, we definitely got some golf courses, but this place is amazing.
00:05:17Let's go.
00:05:17So, it's awesome to be here.
00:05:20Hey!
00:05:20How are you doing?
00:05:21Nice to meet you, Bill.
00:05:22It was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad.
00:05:24They were super cool.
00:05:25I'm excited to hear what you're going to be singing.
00:05:27I know you're very soulful.
00:05:28So what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
00:05:32Fabulous.
00:05:32That's cool.
00:05:33Just a small town, girl.
00:05:36My journey so far, each round, I've gotten more nervous than nervous because I'm chasing my dreams.
00:05:41My knees are shaking, dude.
00:05:42How you holding up?
00:05:43A little nervous.
00:05:44I'm not too confident.
00:05:45What would you say is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:47Just trying to be perfect.
00:05:48I'm a huge critic on myself, so.
00:05:50I can relate.
00:05:51Man, I'm in the top 20 of American Idol.
00:05:53From LaGrange, Georgia, a small town.
00:05:55It's just amazing.
00:05:57I think my family thinks the same way.
00:05:59Oh, damn.
00:06:03I think my family thinks the same way, so hopefully I get to go even further.
00:06:08I haven't been told no yet, but.
00:06:11I can't talk right now.
00:06:12I can't even breathe.
00:06:13The nerve stuff, you take that energy and you let it be a part of the performance.
00:06:17It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind.
00:06:19The jitters when you're getting up on that stage.
00:06:21I think the hardest part of the song is the first part.
00:06:25Yes!
00:06:25Like the second part's give it all you got, you know, and you do that.
00:06:28Let me hear that first verse again.
00:06:30Living in a lonely world.
00:06:33That's the note, lonely.
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes are just the ones to not get tripped up on.
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:39Because then everybody breathes easy.
00:06:41I think if Philman hits those notes in the beginning, he's got a real chance of going on.
00:06:46It's just a big stage.
00:06:48I just want to make sure my family's proud.
00:06:51It would just mean the world to keep going.
00:06:53I want to keep singing for everybody.
00:07:05Come on, sing it now.
00:07:10She took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:19Just a city boy, born a race and start to try.
00:07:27He took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:41Come on now.
00:07:43Come on now.
00:07:43For a smile that can share the night.
00:07:46Goes on and on and on and on.
00:07:51Stranger waiting.
00:07:54Up and down the boulevard.
00:07:59Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:07Streetlights people living just to find the emotion.
00:08:15Don't stop.
00:08:16Don't stop.
00:08:16Hiding.
00:08:18Somewhere.
00:08:19In the night.
00:08:23Don't stop believing.
00:08:28Hold on to the feeling.
00:08:32Streetlights people.
00:08:39Don't stop believing.
00:08:42I'm leaving, hold on to the feeling, still like people, I won't stop leaving, hold on to the feeling.
00:09:04I'll never tell you.
00:09:10There you go!
00:09:13I'm gonna kick it off the show. Way to go, buddy!
00:09:15Good to see you.
00:09:16How'd it feel to kick everything off tonight?
00:09:18I'm glad I got it out the way. Now I can enjoy the rest of the day.
00:09:22By the way, your hair does not move. It does not move that entire performance.
00:09:26My mama have to give you the secret. Some type of hairspray, the thing just does not move, so...
00:09:32I'm available one minute after the show is over for that tip.
00:09:35Let's go to the judges.
00:09:37All right, so at the beginning, I said,
00:09:39please don't let this song intimidate you.
00:09:43You stepped up.
00:09:44The first time, I was a little scared for you.
00:09:46And then you leaned into it.
00:09:49You did a great job, man.
00:09:50Thank you so much, your friend.
00:09:54Filmin', I was very nervous for a second,
00:09:56but when I seen you take that mic off that stand,
00:09:59you started walking, getting a little swag to your step.
00:10:02The vocals were hitting every note they needed to hit.
00:10:06Excellent job.
00:10:06I'm so proud of you.
00:10:07I'm so proud of you.
00:10:10I love that you made it your own.
00:10:13I mean, everybody knows this song.
00:10:15It's been done in, like, every karaoke setting on planet Earth.
00:10:19So true.
00:10:20But you took it and you put your own spin on it.
00:10:23If there's one thing that I could tell you to do a little bit more,
00:10:26it's just relax.
00:10:27I kind of felt your brain working a little bit.
00:10:29And that's not a bad thing, because, you know, this is a big deal.
00:10:32But just get into it and try to shut your brain off.
00:10:35I know it's hard, but try.
00:10:36Thank you so much.
00:10:40Man, vocals, you don't need to worry about vocals.
00:10:43But now channel that inner, like, tiger, that warrior, you know.
00:10:48If you could just amp your performance energy up a little bit, man,
00:10:51you're going to surprise yourself.
00:10:53Thank you, Luke.
00:10:57So relax a little bit.
00:10:59It is Aulani, a Disney resort and spa,
00:11:01if you want to start relaxing right there.
00:11:04Philman Lee, everybody.
00:11:05Philman Lee.

00:11:22Philman Lee, thank you, buddy.
00:11:26The party on the beach is just getting started.
00:11:28Much more music on the way.
00:11:30Ray wants to earn your respect when Idol returns.
00:11:34Do not move.
00:11:37You nailed it.
00:11:39That was so good, baby.
00:11:41The party started.
00:11:49Welcome back to the show.
00:11:51The journey for our finalists to this incredible stage has been an emotional one,
00:11:55especially for a Maryland native Ray.
00:11:57Here's her time with Brad Pacey.
00:11:59We'll keep on.
00:12:04Hi.
00:12:04Hi, Mary.
00:12:05Hi, Mary.
00:12:06Kiki is my girl.
00:12:09I love her.
00:12:10Nice to meet you.
00:12:11I love you so much.
00:12:12Kiki is just unapologetically herself, and I just want to be just like that.
00:12:17I'm singing Respect by Aretha Franklin.
00:12:19R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:20So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:23I grew up on Aretha.
00:12:25My mom just always played Aretha everywhere, and she just told me, like, you're going to
00:12:29command the stage like her.
00:12:30You're going to command the stage.
00:12:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:34Find out what it means to me.
00:12:36So let's talk about what you're going to do on stage.
00:12:38I don't have any choreography, and I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it, but, like, I don't know.
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional, and I'm crying, so now I'm having fun, and
00:12:51I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:54It's just markers.
00:12:55Like, by this point of the song, I'm going to go to the right.
00:12:58By this point of the song, I'm going to go to the left.
00:13:00All it would take is one of those notes this way, or this way, and I think that audience
00:13:06will go crazy.
00:13:08Yeah, yeah!
00:13:12Yeah, yeah!
00:13:13Fantastic!
00:13:14It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:17Yeah, it's just the dynamics are so right.
00:13:19I love that you gave us an array of what your vocals could do in this song.
00:13:23Kiki loved my dynamics?
00:13:25Okay, yeah.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:26Like, life made.
00:13:28I'm, like, already, I've been, like, crying.
00:13:31Being able to sing this in front of you is, like, like, I feel like I manifested this moment.
00:13:37Oh, my gosh!
00:13:40I'm so glad that I get to hear this before.
00:13:43I'm just so glad we get to have this moment.
00:13:45The song means so much to me, why I'm singing it means so much to me, and I feel like
00:13:50this
00:13:51is just a dream come true.
00:13:56What you want, baby, I got it, baby, I got it, what you need, yeah, do you know I got
00:14:08it?
00:14:09I feel like it.
00:14:10Oh, like, I'm so glad we got it.
00:14:16Oh, my God.
00:14:23I'm so glad that I can be out there.
00:14:28And so, you know I got it.
00:14:34Oh, my God, baby, I got it.
00:14:39I ask you, it's for a little respect when you come home
00:14:43Hey, baby, when you get home

00:15:56Aretha Ray.
00:15:58Well, all right.
00:16:00Some Aretha there.
00:16:02She's a blueprint artist for you, huh?
00:16:05Oh, yeah.
00:16:06She is.
00:16:07Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm,
00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire.
00:16:13Girl, I'm not playing.
00:16:15You were singing down.
00:16:16I even heard a little talking personality throughout
00:16:18when you hit that move at the end.
00:16:20I mean, it was just the performance was fabulous
00:16:22from top to bottom.
00:16:23You gave us stage presents.
00:16:25You gave us the outfit.
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J blood.
00:16:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:16:30I just live, mama.
00:16:33So we've known you for a bit,
00:16:35and we've been in these, like, much more subdued situations.
00:16:39I feel like this was the missing ingredient.
00:16:42We always knew you could sing, but you can entertain.
00:16:46Like, you were having fun with it.
00:16:49There, there.
00:16:50You completely made it your own.
00:16:52You weren't trying to copy anybody.
00:16:54There you go.
00:16:55You did you.
00:16:55You rearranged the song.
00:16:57Whew.
00:16:57They had fun.
00:16:58You had fun.
00:16:59We had fun.
00:17:00That was amazing.
00:17:01Thank you so much.
00:17:02You're okay.
00:17:03I hope you do it.
00:17:05Whoa.
00:17:05That was Aretha Ray, y'all.
00:17:07I mean, I'm just out of, I don't know what vitamin pill you took,
00:17:12but this is when you have to surprise us.
00:17:15You pulled it out and gave it to us.
00:17:16That was amazing.
00:17:17I love it.
00:17:18Thank you so much.
00:17:20You got my respect.
00:17:24And you're one of our best singers, if not the best singer,
00:17:28and a way to come out and work the crowd.
00:17:32That didn't get lost on you.
00:17:35Well, look at me dropping nuggets of wisdom, I think.
00:17:40Anyway, I just loved the whole performance.

00:19:39I play the farmer's market a lot in Nashville.
00:19:41Yeah, yeah.
00:19:41It gets the tips.
00:19:43I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing, his singing, his songwriting, his stage presence, everything about
00:19:49him.
00:19:49I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months.

00:19:59It's one of my favorite songs ever written.
00:20:02Just to see you smile, I'd do anything.
00:20:08You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song and then acknowledge there's an audience.
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me, but I was loving the eye.
00:20:17So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing.
00:20:21It doesn't sound like Tim and it shouldn't.
00:20:23It sounds like you and that's hard to do.
00:20:26Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this, isn't it?
00:20:29It really is.
00:20:30Absolutely.
00:20:30You know, they say I don't meet your heroes, but I'm really glad I met Brad.
00:20:33So I'm hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage.
00:20:41You always had enough of things to glitter.
00:20:46And I was far from being made of gold.
00:20:51I don't know how, but I've scrimped up the money
00:20:57Oh, I just never could quite tell you no
00:21:01But just like when you were leaving Emory, Lord
00:21:07And taking that new job in Tennessee
00:21:12And I quit mine so we could be together
00:21:15And I can't forget the way you looked at me
00:21:22But just to see you smile
00:21:25I'd do anything that you wanted me to
00:21:32And all is said and done
00:21:35I'd never count a call
00:21:38It's one thought that's lost
00:21:43Just to see you smile
00:21:47Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted
00:21:52When you came walking up to me with him
00:21:57I told you that I was happy for you
00:22:01And given the chance I'd like it
00:22:06Just to see you smile
00:22:11I'd do anything that you wanted me to
00:22:17And all is said and done
00:22:21I'd never count the cost
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost
00:22:29Just to see you smile
00:22:36Just to see you smile
00:22:52You know, you made that so comfortable
00:22:56I almost forgot that you were a contestant
00:22:59That's what you want
00:23:00You want comfort
00:23:01You want people to understand
00:23:03That this is what you do naturally
00:23:06And what you just performed there
00:23:07Was about as natural as you were ever going to get
00:23:09It was fantastic
00:23:10Thank you
00:23:11Thank you
00:23:13I agree with everything that Lionel said
00:23:15Because you literally transported us into your world
00:23:17I felt like I was at a beach club
00:23:19I was at a festival
00:23:20You know, I haven't been in love in ages
00:23:22I'm single as a Pringle
00:23:24And I felt romantic
00:23:26Because you set the tone
00:23:27You were making me smile
00:23:29I mean, I just loved it
00:23:30You are very much you
00:23:31And you did a fabulous job
00:23:32Thank you so much
00:23:34Single as a Pringle
00:23:36Your voice is so
00:23:38It is powerful
00:23:39It is beautiful
00:23:40And there is something really special
00:23:42About the simplicity
00:23:43You don't try to over-sing
00:23:45There you go
00:23:46You're like laid back in the pocket
00:23:47There you go
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you
00:23:50And to watch you
00:23:51Thank you so much
00:23:52I loved it
00:23:53Yeah
00:23:53Luke Ryan
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering
00:23:58Keep making us feel comfortable
00:24:00But also keep adding the pressure
00:24:03And intensity
00:24:03And big songs
00:24:04That really pull you
00:24:06Outside of your comfort zone
00:24:07But you just keep knocking
00:24:08Every performance out of the park
00:24:10Thank you so much
00:24:11Thank you
00:24:13Luke predicted you would make
00:24:14Your hometown's Wikipedia page
00:24:16At some point, right?
00:24:19Maybe old Lucas Leon
00:24:21Maybe
00:24:22He's got a spot here
00:24:23On the Wikipedia
00:24:23So I was just backstage
00:24:25Doing my research
00:24:27Gallatin, Tennessee
00:24:29And look at this
00:24:29Lucas Leon

00:24:51Next worship director
00:24:53Jordan McCullough
00:24:54Takes on a U2 crowd pleaser
00:24:56Here's how he impressed
00:24:57Black
00:24:59How do you like in Hawaii?
00:25:03Girl, I'm trying to figure out
00:25:03How I can stay a little long
00:25:04Yes
00:25:05Because my goodness
00:25:06The sun is nice
00:25:07The water is nice
00:25:08Goofy
00:25:09I got to meet Goofy
00:25:11I honestly felt like a little kid
00:25:12When I saw him
00:25:13Oh my God
00:25:14How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:17I came in a little unsure
00:25:18Jordan
00:25:19But it landed me the platinum ticket
00:25:21The hopefuls voted for me
00:25:22And it was amazing
00:25:23I felt so honored
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on
00:25:26Because I feel like a lot of people
00:25:27Are looking at me to see
00:25:28Okay, how can he follow up?
00:25:30So what are you singing today?
00:25:31Today I'm singing
00:25:32Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:33By U2
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre
00:25:36I picked this song
00:25:37Because it talks about
00:25:38I still haven't found what I'm looking for
00:25:40But honestly
00:25:41As I'm continuing my journey
00:25:43In American Idol
00:25:43I kind of finally found what I'm looking for
00:25:46I'm finding my passion
00:25:47I have runed through the field
00:25:52I'm kind of known right now
00:25:53For the showstopper experience
00:25:55And I want to just show the judges
00:25:56That I can actually just stand here and sing too
00:25:58Just me
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection
00:26:03Will be noticed and acknowledged
00:26:04So for him to start that way
00:26:05That's a crazy choice
00:26:06You know what I'm saying?
00:26:07That's like definitely bold
00:26:09And it could be risky
00:26:10He's taking a risk
00:26:11But I think it'll pay off
00:26:12You gotta swing for that fence
00:26:14I mean for me
00:26:15It really says
00:26:17I'm out here without a net
00:26:18That's the energy
00:26:19That I'm looking for
00:26:20Okay
00:26:20I can't wait to see how this goes
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort
00:26:23For sure
00:26:24But my approach
00:26:25Will be a little bit different
00:26:27Than what America has seen
00:26:28And I hope that they will enjoy it
00:26:29And love it too
00:26:36I have climbed
00:26:42The highest mountain
00:26:47I have run
00:26:53Through the fields
00:26:55Only to be with you
00:27:02Only to be with you
00:27:08I have run
00:27:11I have crawled
00:27:15I have scaled
00:27:17These city walls
00:27:21These city walls
00:27:24These city walls
00:27:27Only to be with you
00:27:33But I still
00:27:35But I still
00:27:37Have it found
00:27:43Oh
00:27:45What I'm looking for
00:27:53I believe in the kingdom come
00:27:58With all the colors
00:28:00Bleed into one
00:28:03Bleed into one
00:28:06But yeah, I'm still running
00:28:10You broke the bar
00:28:15You lose the chains
00:28:18Can't read the cross
00:28:20Oh, my shame
00:28:22Oh, my shame
00:28:26You know I believe that
00:28:30Yeah
00:28:31But I still haven't found
00:28:37What I'm looking for
00:28:41But I still haven't found
00:28:46Oh, what I'm looking for
00:28:51But I still haven't found
00:29:05What I'm looking for
00:29:25Beautiful job with that new few songs
00:29:26You're shaking up here a little bit, huh?
00:29:30That emotion, a little overwhelming
00:29:32What were you feeling at the end?
00:29:33Yeah, man, it's so ironic to sing a song
00:29:35About, man, not finding what you're looking for
00:29:37I've done many things
00:29:38I've tried many things
00:29:39But tonight
00:29:40Looking out and seeing all of you guys
00:29:42I feel like I finally have found
00:29:45What I'm looking for
00:29:49I think that Jordan has used
00:29:52Up all the notes
00:29:55Possible
00:29:57In the music business
00:30:00First of all, Jordan
00:30:01To take a U2 song
00:30:03And turn it into
00:30:04Spiritual
00:30:07That's a feat
00:30:08And then on top of that
00:30:10Turn the U2 song
00:30:12Into your song
00:30:14Is the way you
00:30:15Win competitions
00:30:18Thank you so much
00:30:19Thank you

00:33:5216-year-old Abayomi.
00:33:54Good job, y'all.
00:33:59Nice to meet you, baby.
00:34:01So thrilled to meet you.
00:34:03So what are you singing today?
00:34:04I'm singing Mama Knows Best by Jessie J.
00:34:06OK.
00:34:07I'm dedicating this song to my mother.
00:34:09My mom has always been there for me.
00:34:11She's the reason I started performing.
00:34:13She's a rapper.
00:34:17She's a teacher and getting her bachelor's degree.
00:34:19All while being a mother, a single mother.
00:34:22It's insane to me.
00:34:23I want her to just feel like everything she's put into me
00:34:26is finally pouring out.
00:34:28I love you.
00:34:29And you got this.
00:34:32I'm so excited that I'm going to get to see you do your thing.
00:34:35Mama Knows Best when times get hard.
00:34:39You and I were talented at 16.
00:34:41But I was failing my third driver's test by now.
00:34:45Her focus is really there.
00:34:48Yes.
00:34:48See Mama, Mama knows best.
00:34:50See Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:34:53On those Mama Knows Best when we hear that boom, boom,
00:34:55I want to see a step forward.
00:34:57You know, really leaning into the audience on those moments
00:34:59because it's kind of like a direct kind of...
00:35:00You come frontin' them.
00:35:01Yes.
00:35:02See Mama, Mama knows best.
00:35:05See Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:35:07So you're dedicating this to your mom.
00:35:09Is she here?
00:35:09Yes, she is here.
00:35:11Really?
00:35:11Oh, I think I see her.
00:35:13Oh, she's here.
00:35:14Oh, my gosh.
00:35:15Oh, my gosh.
00:35:16Oh, my gosh.
00:35:16Oh, you look beautiful.
00:35:17This woman was wonderful, for sure.
00:35:19Mama was so sweet.
00:35:20Now, are you the singer or the rapper?
00:35:21Are you Mama's a rapper?
00:35:22I'll rap.
00:35:23Mama, I'll sing.
00:35:23Wait, wait, wait.
00:35:25Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:35:27The fact that she's dedicating the song to her mom,
00:35:29I love the lineage you respect.
00:35:31I want her to be herself.
00:35:32I just felt like that's all you can bring is yourself.
00:35:34And I felt like God ordained this.
00:35:36This is already predestined.
00:35:37So regardless of whatever happens,
00:35:39I felt like she's a winner.
00:35:41Mama knows best.
00:35:43Yes!
00:35:43Wow.
00:35:56Well, there is something going down
00:36:01Like a storm in the sky
00:36:03I, I ain't gonna be paid by your behavior.
00:36:10How can I trust someone who's lying to me?
00:36:14And so, how I go?
00:36:16And I said, how I leave?
00:36:18I said, take your back and go.
00:36:21Cause you're not for me enough.
00:36:25Mama knows best when I get a heart.
00:36:29And Papa always has a hope to make me laugh.
00:36:34Mama knows best when I feel down to bring me up and always keep my day on.
00:36:42Like it, like it, like it.
00:36:44I like it.
00:36:45I think the best thing my daddy said to me.
00:36:50Always use humor as your therapy.
00:36:56Don't ever take too seriously
00:36:59Just do you, cause you can use those perfectly
00:37:04Yeah!
00:37:09Yeah!
00:37:14See mama, mama knows that
00:37:17See daddy, daddy knows that
00:37:19See mama, mama knows that
00:37:22See mama knows that
00:37:26When can't get on
00:37:28If I've always had a joke
00:37:31To make me laugh
00:37:34Mama knows that
00:37:35When I sit down
00:37:38To bring me up
00:37:39I know it's hitting my feet
00:37:42On the ground
00:37:46Mama knows that
00:37:54Thank you
00:37:55I'm Naomi everyone
00:37:58Wow!
00:37:59Incredible
00:38:00I spent a couple seconds with your mom and grandma
00:38:03Could you hear them screaming while you were singing?
00:38:05Kind of
00:38:07I love you guys
00:38:10I think they love you too
00:38:12Lana Richie
00:38:14That's how you're doing
00:38:16Alright
00:38:18So, so, so listen
00:38:20This 16 year old is driving a steamroll
00:38:22Alright
00:38:24That was absolutely in charge
00:38:29In power
00:38:30You were rolling down the road
00:38:32Just killing it

00:44:41It's called Baby This Is Kiki Palmer
00:44:45What is Kiki Palmer talk about on Baby This Is Kiki Palmer
00:44:49Well you know I'm curious and I like to talk to icons such as yourself to learn how you got
00:44:53to be this way
00:44:54Thank you
00:44:54But the fact that you call me an icon with Mickey next to me that was very very generous
00:44:59Kiki Palmer one more time everybody thank you that was amazing
00:45:04Coming up the depth of the talent this year is off the charts and hoping to prove just that is
00:45:09Madison Moon

00:45:16Let's go Mickey
00:45:29Looking good
00:45:30Back with you on American Idol
00:45:32We always love the backdrop here at Disney's Aalani Resort
00:45:35What better place to chase the idol dream
00:45:37Hoping to shine tonight it's Madison Moon
00:45:46Guys look at it
00:45:47Oh my goodness
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere my family finds a sunset
00:45:51Being able to do that in Hawaii means everything
00:45:54Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57Literally doesn't even feel real
00:45:59My dad got to join me in meeting Kiki Palmer and Brad Paisley
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice from my daddy
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist
00:46:07And he pours his heart and soul into it
00:46:09He had a high school band
00:46:11He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera
00:46:13Which was dope
00:46:14Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:17I'll do it for her
00:46:18He wanted to pursue it further
00:46:20But he decided to give that up to raise a family
00:46:24Don't stop believing
00:46:27The world kind of missed out on him as a musician
00:46:33Streetlights people
00:46:39Oh my gosh
00:46:41You're so good
00:46:41Oh my gosh
00:46:43Yes
00:46:43It's a moment I'll never forget
00:46:45What are you doing for us today?
00:46:46Since you've been gone
00:46:48Kelly Clarkson
00:46:48Okay
00:46:49It's very bold
00:46:50Especially doing a song by a former idol
00:46:53Since you've been gone
00:46:56I can't breathe for the first time
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks in this competition
00:47:02I haven't played it safe
00:47:03And I'm not going to
00:47:04It's pretty crazy what's in the tank
00:47:07You were feeling it and being fun
00:47:09And not taking it too seriously
00:47:10But also giving in when it was time
00:47:12And again and again and again
00:47:16Woo
00:47:16There was a moment with the note
00:47:18Where I was like
00:47:18Uh oh
00:47:19How are you feeling about the big note?
00:47:21I wasn't really
00:47:21Yeah
00:47:22You know doing all the warm-ups and stuff today
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24One thing that always helped me to be
00:47:26To lean in
00:47:27If I go left
00:47:28Let me go all the way left
00:47:30You know it's never any mistakes
00:47:31Because
00:47:31We don't really know what you was trying to do
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure
00:47:35If I don't hit this note
00:47:37I'm going home
00:47:46Here's the thing
00:47:47We started out friends

00:49:50Who was singing every lyric as well
00:49:52Down there
00:49:52It was brilliant
00:49:53He was like
00:49:55I love you daddy
00:49:57What was that face you did?
00:50:00There it is
00:50:03So earlier today
00:50:04I was like over in my room
00:50:06And I could hear this song kind of being played
00:50:09I couldn't see anything
00:50:10So I didn't really know
00:50:11But I was like
00:50:12I bet that's Madison
00:50:14Like that has to
00:50:15She's the only one
00:50:16That I feel like
00:50:17Could go for this
00:50:18And pull it off
00:50:19And you did
00:50:19I love your voice so much
00:50:21I love that you're just you
00:50:23You've got incredible pipes
00:50:25That's a tall order song
00:50:27Like nobody wants to sing this song
00:50:29Because it's really hard
00:50:30And you tackled it, girl
00:50:35You just
00:50:37Honestly blew my wig off my head
00:50:39Man, there's no doubt about it
00:50:40When I tell you
00:50:42Power
00:50:44You have it in spades
00:50:45I kept thinking at some point
00:50:47Okay, she's gonna take a breath
00:50:48She's gonna come back down
00:50:49Give a moment
00:50:50Girl, you stayed
00:50:53FM all the way through then
00:50:54It was amazing
00:50:55Amazing
00:50:57Keep that mentality
00:50:59Keep that rocker energy
00:51:03Pushing yourself
00:51:04Surprising us
00:51:05With what you can do
00:51:06You went after that
00:51:07And you nailed it
00:51:08And like I said
00:51:09You're the one that can do it
00:51:10Be that person
00:51:12Be that sign of it
00:51:14Thank you
00:51:15You have such an incredible voice
00:51:17She's so powerful
00:51:18And I was nervous for a second

00:52:57This morning I woke up early
00:52:58And went to the spa
00:53:01This was the first time
00:53:02Ever being pampered
00:53:03This is the best
00:53:04I've been enjoying
00:53:05The princess treatment
00:53:06But I don't think
00:53:06It's gonna last very long
00:53:08When I'm not here
00:53:10With American Idol
00:53:10I'm working
00:53:11And I'm trying to pay bills
00:53:13I don't really have
00:53:14A whole lot of downtime
00:53:15So being in a spa
00:53:16For the first time
00:53:16It was so nice
00:53:18This round I'll be singing
00:53:20Apologize
00:53:21By One Republic
00:53:21Classic
00:53:22Yeah classic
00:53:23When I was about 12, 13
00:53:25I would hop on my bike
00:53:26With my papers
00:53:27And do my paper out
00:53:28And I'd listen to the song
00:53:29Over and over and over again
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope
00:53:32Got me 10 feet off the ground
00:53:36This is one of the more intimate things
00:53:38Somebody's done
00:53:38Yeah
00:53:39I wanna make this one a little bit more fun
00:53:41A song that people know
00:53:42A song that people wanna sing along to
00:53:44But also with intimacy
00:53:46But fun is different for everybody
00:53:47Right
00:53:47So we don't have to be
00:53:48Everybody's version of fun
00:53:50Exactly
00:53:50But I think letting that hair down

00:53:54You know what I mean?
00:53:55Very handsome
00:53:55So leaning into that appeal
00:53:57I think with this song

00:54:15Well in my mind

00:54:20Working everything you got
00:54:22When you were doing that
00:54:22I wish I could do that
00:54:23I can't do that
00:54:25I might have to take Kiki's advice
00:54:26And let my hair down
00:54:28And drop a button or two
00:54:29That's it
00:54:30That was giving

00:55:08Didn't think I'd turn around
00:55:11And say
00:55:13That it's too late to apologize
00:55:17It's too late
00:55:21I said it's too late to apologize

00:56:32I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late.
00:56:48There he is, nice work.
00:56:50So you wanted to create some intimate moments in that performance, right?
00:56:54Yeah, absolutely.
00:56:55Lionel?
00:56:56So let me just tell you, the first verse, you were concentrating so hard,
00:57:01you almost blew up.
00:57:03I'm telling you, you were just in every note, I'm thinking about it, I gotta make it perfect.
00:57:08Second verse, you joined us.
00:57:12I mean, from that point on, you just kind of let go and delivered the goods.
00:57:17Enjoy that stage.
00:57:19You've got the gift.
00:57:20Thank you, Lionel.
00:57:42Thank you, Kiki.
00:57:45Great job.
00:57:46Ms. Underwood?
00:57:48I love your voice so much, like you just have this gorgeous, like laid back vibrato, it doesn't sound like
00:57:56anybody else.
00:57:57One little thing, and I don't mean this weird, but you've got this mysterious, sexy vibe going, and I feel
00:58:06like you need to know that.
00:58:09I like what you look sad.
00:58:10I thought I was the only one with the mysterious, sexy vibe going.
00:58:13Oh, no, no.
00:58:15Come on, Luke.
00:58:16I mean this as a compliment.
00:58:18It's like one of your kind of like superpowers, and if you own that, I feel like they will just
00:58:24eat it up.
00:58:24I agree.
00:58:25Sorry if that was here.
00:58:27You do, girl.
00:58:28I'm sorry.
00:58:28I love my husband.
00:58:29Yes.
00:58:31I'm just saying.
00:58:33Man, I want to hear that power you got.
00:58:35I want you to partner that voice with that sexy stuff that Carrie's bringing up, which, I mean, hey, you
00:58:43know, I see it, dog.
00:58:44I see it.
00:58:47I know what she's talking about.

00:58:51Look, he's making you nervous.
00:58:52He's so cute.
00:58:53I understand.
00:58:54But the main thing that's really important is I see you getting right up to the edge and just, man,

01:00:12Bye-bye.
01:00:12That's freaking crazy.
01:00:14Oh, my word.
01:00:23Welcome back to American Idol from Alani at Disney Resort and Spine.
01:00:27Koelina, Hawaii.
01:00:28Ten of our insanely talented finalists are lighting up the stage for your votes tonight.
01:00:32And earlier this week, they also had the pleasure of kicking back to enjoy some of their own Alani time.
01:00:38Right?
01:00:38Watch this.
01:00:41I always dreamed that my voice would bring me to places like this.
01:00:45And it happened.
01:00:49Being here in Hawaii has been so different from being back home.
01:00:52Just to see this part of the world, it is different.
01:01:00This is the only one to be my first only one ever.
01:01:06We're best buds now.
01:01:07It's just been so fun.
01:01:08The memories that we're making is just all unforgettable.
01:01:11This is really a dream come true.
01:01:18Look at that.
01:01:19You just saw Ruby Rake cruising on the catamaran.
01:01:21Here she is now.
01:01:23Coming face to face with Brad Paisley and Kiki.
01:01:27Come on.
01:01:31Being here has been great.
01:01:32I mean, I think I've definitely had some time to relax and soak up the sun.
01:01:36And I've gotten to do some really cool things around the resort with my family.
01:01:39The Mickey waffles are like my favorite things ever.
01:01:42Cheers.
01:01:44There's characters everywhere.
01:01:46We saw Goofy and then Chip and Dale.
01:01:48It feels absolutely insane to make Top 20.
01:01:50I'm just like really excited and proud to be here.
01:01:53Hey.
01:01:53Hi there.
01:01:54What's up, Ruby Rake?
01:01:55For the beach round, I'm going to be singing Drag Me Down by One Direction.
01:01:58Why this song?
01:01:59I chose this song as kind of a thank you to my three older brothers because they were my biggest
01:02:04supporters when I was dealing with some mean girls back in middle school.
01:02:09Uh-oh.
01:02:09I decided when I was 11 that it would be a fun idea to shave my head.
01:02:13So I had a buzz cut.
01:02:15I have some photos.
01:02:16Please show us.
01:02:17That's.
01:02:18Wow.
01:02:19I ended up like losing a lot of my friends because of this.
01:02:21Because of that?
01:02:22Yes.
01:02:22So my brothers, they had my back.
01:02:24And so this is like a thank you.
01:02:25Nobody can drag me down with their love.
01:02:27Okay.
01:02:28Oh, I love that.
01:02:30All my life you stood by me.
01:02:33It's an amazing thing that one of the most formative events of her life was a bullying for a really
01:02:39trivial thing.
01:02:40I think that's actually going to serve her.
01:02:41Use that experience to really grab this audience.
01:02:45It's certainly a song that embodies the hope and the struggle and that's great.
01:02:51Use that.
01:02:51This song does come from kind of a sad place, but I want to just stand strong and still like
01:02:56give a fun performance to watch.
01:03:06I got by for a heart.
01:03:09I'm not scared of the dark.
01:03:10You've never seen it look so easy.
01:03:13I got a river for a soul.
01:03:16And baby, you're a boat.
01:03:18Baby, you're my only reason.
01:03:20If I didn't have you, there would be nothing left.
01:03:23The shell of America could never be his best.
01:03:27If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun.
01:03:30You taught me how to be someone.
01:03:33Hey, all my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:41All these lights, they can't find me.
01:03:45With your love, nobody can drag me.
01:03:48All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:55All these lights, they can't find me.
01:03:59With your love, nobody can drag me down.
01:04:04Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me down.
01:04:11Nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me.
01:04:16All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:23All these lights, they can't find me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:04:57Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can drag me down.
01:05:10Way to go, the judges are on their feet after that.
01:05:14You are such a ray of sunshine.
01:05:17You're always got this gazillion watt smile, and like, you can't help but smile watching you.
01:05:21I want to challenge you a little bit to like get like find your sassy side when you're singing nobody
01:05:27can drag me down
01:05:28You know got a little sass in there
01:05:30So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself and show it bring it all right
01:05:35Let's go so I thought for a moment when she started I said she's gonna run out of air
01:05:39Because she's moving I could hear breathing and then she hit that note and held it all evening
01:05:46I know you were thinking you were overthinking don't do it. You've got the goods
01:05:50That was amazing that you kind of pull that one out. I'm telling you. It's 16, right? Yeah
01:05:56That's disgusting
01:05:58That's just disgusting. Yeah, first of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that
01:06:02The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able to take your time with
01:06:06it and you know
01:06:06Let the let the band catch up to you instead of you being a little bit in front of them
01:06:10But these are small things that'll go towards you in this competition just to make your performance better and
01:06:16Incredible job. You did fabulous. Yeah
01:06:18Yeah
01:06:19Yeah
01:06:20Yeah, it's it's hard to get out of like a 16 year old mentality, but you do have a great
01:06:25voice
01:06:26It was really like a 16 year old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you, which
01:06:31is what is it Lionel?
01:06:33It's disgusting just disgusting, but you need to work on is like, you know get in that mentality of like
01:06:39I'm gonna get out here and like almost create a little alter ego where you where you got a little
01:06:44more angst in there
01:06:45But I love your voice and we know you've got all the goods in there. So thank you

01:07:18Julián Calel with some Zack Bryant idols back right after this
01:07:33Welcome back to American Idol keep those votes coming in for all your favorites online via text and on social
01:07:39media
01:07:39Their lives in the competition depend on it and Julián Calel wants to stick around for a while. Here's his
01:07:46mentor meetup with Brad and Kiki
01:07:49I was here two summers ago my family and I more big Hawaii fans. We're also big Disney fans and
01:07:55my favorite character stitch
01:07:59What's going on buddy? I just think he's a little troublemaker. I love his voice. Oh Hannah means family
01:08:05Family means nobody gets left behind. So be back here at Disney's Aulani Resort. Feels like a blessing
01:08:11There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii. Thank you. Thank you
01:08:18For this run I'm choosing a song called tourniquet by Zack Bryant. There's a race on the plains
01:08:23It means a lot to me. So why is that? Tourniquet to me means
01:08:30Picking someone else up when they're hurting and always telling someone I have your back
01:08:35Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want a tourniquet, know that I'll be by your side
01:08:40What always heals my heart is thinking about the people that I have in my life and what motivates me
01:08:46even more is
01:08:47Hoping that whoever's listening gets that feeling that I understand I see you it felt very authentic
01:08:53And so I think you're getting a real sense of who he is as an artist. You know, that's magic
01:08:58being this close
01:09:00You know, it's really
01:09:02Captivating your prowess on the guitar shows your voice is perfect. Thank you so you're suited for that song
01:09:08Sometimes you when you're in a competition
01:09:10It's like you're thinking about what's gonna do my voice the best, but if you just sing what's true to
01:09:14you
01:09:14Yeah, it's somehow it's most perfect music can feel like a hug music can feel like a hand on your
01:09:20back that tells you
01:09:21You're not alone and that's what I'm trying to replicate with my performance
01:09:42There's delays on the planes out of Eastern Montana where you told me you were
01:09:48You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
01:09:55Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want to turn it quick know that I'll be by your
01:10:00side
01:10:01You've bled your whole soul into things you can't control in a world you'll never satisfy
01:10:08But I'll bandage up your body your bones and your bad days too
01:10:14Take care of the blood your love runs through
01:10:20I know all the damage some days in this dark world does
01:10:25But you have been last eating something I dreamed of
01:10:31Come on!
01:10:32I'm excited by most of which someone you'll never satisfy
01:10:37Oh
01:10:38Oh, oh, oh.
01:10:39Oh, oh, oh
01:10:41Oh, oh. oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:10:44Oh man, it's up your body your bones in your bad day you soon
01:10:52Take care of the blood that your love runs through
01:10:56Oh, and I know all the damage some days in this dark world
01:11:01But you left the last evening something I dreamed of
01:11:10Dreamed of
01:11:13There's delays on the plains out of Eastern Montana
01:11:16Where you told me you were leaving from
01:11:19You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body
01:11:23Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
01:11:26Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
01:11:31Yeah, man. Yeah, man.
01:11:39Kudyan!
01:11:40Well, just listen to that.
01:11:44Thank you. Thank you.
01:11:45What did you connect with in that song? What message?
01:11:48Well, to me, I wanted to, whenever I listen to a song like this,
01:11:51I think of unconditional love, whether it be for a friend,
01:11:54For someone you love, and it just means that you're never going to leave their side
01:11:58Their worst days and their best days
01:12:01I wanted it to feel like a hand on your back
01:12:04A hand, you know, that you can hold, a hug
01:12:07Just, you know, letting you know that you're never alone
01:12:09No matter how down you are
01:12:13I love you. That's all I'm going to say. I love you.
01:12:18I haven't been a part of the journey like these guys, but I agree.
01:12:22I mean, I feel like I've been watching you in the light of this.
01:12:24I can tell how much it means to you and that it's so true to you.
01:12:27Your voice is beautiful. I mean, I can listen to you go on and on and on, you know,
01:12:31And then when you look up, you're talking about tourniquet. This is a deep and intense song.
01:12:35But you're delivering that hope when you look up during the performance and you flash us that smile.
01:12:40It does feel hopeful. It's beautiful. I loved it. Great job.
01:12:43Thank you so much, Kiki.
01:12:45Ms. Underwood.
01:12:46You are such an artist. You're such a poet.
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:49And you're so believable when you start singing and playing.
01:12:54Like, it's just so honest and it's so you.
01:12:57And it's a joy to get to listen to you.
01:13:00Like, this is the best job in the world.
01:13:02There you go.
01:13:02Thank you so much.
01:13:03It is.

01:15:15He has been by my side every step of the way.
01:15:18Unfortunately, my son couldn't be here for this performance because he had to go back
01:15:21to school.
01:15:22Maybe on my next voyage, I can meet him.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:24Yes.
01:15:24For sure.
01:15:27How you doing?
01:15:28Nice to meet you.
01:15:29Huge fan.
01:15:30I'm a big fan of Kiki.
01:15:31To see myself in front of her, I was like, mama, I made it.
01:15:34I love that.
01:15:35Well, Keela, I'm so excited.
01:15:36What are you going to be singing?
01:15:37With a little help with my friend.
01:15:38All right.
01:15:39What drew you to this song?
01:15:41There was a time when I didn't feel like I was good enough.
01:15:44You know, I didn't know where I was going.
01:15:45I was confused.
01:15:46God had to place friends around me that really helped me.
01:15:49They were destiny helpers to me.
01:15:50They helped me to my purpose, and they pushed me.
01:15:53What would you do if I sang?
01:15:56Hearing her sing, I didn't know what to expect.
01:15:59And when her voice came out, it was just awesome.
01:16:03It felt so truthful.
01:16:04I'll have a little help with my friends.
01:16:08She seemed like, oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:16I'll have a little help from my friends, yeah.
01:16:24Ooh, that was a lot.
01:16:26Oh, no, oh, no.
01:16:28Don't do it to me.
01:16:32Such a special voice.
01:16:36Such a special voice.
01:16:47Wow.
01:16:48That voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:50What you're doing is more than just singing.
01:16:52You're embodying spirit through song.
01:16:55That's beautiful.
01:16:56Seriously.
01:16:57It blew my mind when I sang for the mentors.
01:17:00I'm humble and I'm grateful because that just lets me know
01:17:03that no matter what I sang, somebody's going to feel it,
01:17:06and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:22That was great.
01:17:26That was great.
01:17:37Oh, yeah.
01:17:39Bow with a little help from my friends.
01:17:44Getting bow with a little help from my friends.
01:17:48Is it all right if I can bow with a little help from my friends?
01:17:52Oh, yeah.
01:17:59What would you do when my life is going away?
01:18:04Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:18:06Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:18:08And how would it feel any day?
01:18:14I was sad because we're all on your own.
01:18:18Oh, yeah.
01:18:20I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:22Is it all right if it's just me and my friends?
01:18:25I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:27We'll be getting back.
01:18:30I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:32Oh, yeah.
01:18:35I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:18:40Do you need anybody?
01:18:43Oh, I need somebody just to love.
01:18:47Yes, I do, yeah.
01:18:50Do you need anybody?
01:18:52Oh, yeah.
01:18:53I need somebody.
01:18:56I need somebody.
01:18:58Just give me somebody.
