00:10:05Hi, Mr. Luke.
00:10:06One of my favorite moments I've ever had on this show.
00:10:08That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
00:10:13She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:23She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:25I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:30I wasn't holding you up, so there's nothing I can do to let you down.
00:10:37It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:44And I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:48Hey, hey, hey, you are enough.
00:10:54Hey, everybody say, you are enough.
00:11:01I will be content in every circumstance.
00:11:08Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:16If he dresses in lilies with beauty and splendor, how much more would he clothe you?
00:11:25How much more would he clothe you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:11:38How much more would he love you?
00:11:41And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:47You are enough for me.
00:11:47Whether that's human, not to me.
00:11:50Freedom, not to me.

00:11:54And I will be content in every circumstance.
00:12:00In every circumstance.
00:12:01And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:12:08Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:12:24So, so, so here's the situation.
00:12:30You have, you have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:40You are walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence.
00:12:47And your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Loved it.
00:12:51Loved it.
00:12:54What a way to kick off the show.
00:12:56I mean, you kind of put us, you put us right there in, in the mind frame of, you know,
00:13:03being grateful and just the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:08And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:15Oh, my gosh.
00:13:19I mean, you've kind of touched me in a lot of ways since your audition and just watching your growth
00:13:26from there to now and watching you come out here and really command the room and the stage.
00:13:30And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just, you're just making this your moment, and I love that.
00:13:37Way to kick off the night.
00:13:38Great job.
00:13:41Well, you did it.
00:13:42You kicked off the night, just like Luke said.
00:13:44Your boy Drew was having a good time watching that performance.
00:13:46We saw him on TV.
00:13:47And I noticed in rehearsal that you were getting emotional singing that song.
00:13:51What were you feeling at the beginning of the day?
00:13:54Just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here and grateful to God just to be on this platform and to share my grip with
00:14:00the world.

00:14:29Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finley.
00:14:36You haven't noticed I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt freeing for me because when I sing, I don't stutter.
00:14:42I love this show because we get to meet kids like you.
00:14:45American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life.
00:14:49I've gotten so much more confident in myself.
00:14:54I said out on a narrow way many years ago
00:15:02Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
00:15:09But I got lost a time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
00:15:18I couldn't see how every sign
00:15:22Blended straight to you
00:15:25And every long, long-lost dream
00:15:31Led me to where you are
00:15:35Others who broke my heart
00:15:38They were like northern stars
00:15:43Pointed me on my way
00:15:46Into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know
00:15:52This much I know
00:15:54Is true
00:15:56That God bless the broken road
00:16:01Let me be straight to you
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:12I miss you
00:16:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:17Don't be обрат in rumah
00:16:18Into my brothers' arms
00:16:25This much I know
00:16:27Is true
00:16:29Is true
00:16:30God bless the broken rope
00:16:33God bless the broken road
00:16:37God bless the broken road
00:16:41That led me straight to you
00:17:07That was great, Jesse.
00:17:09They made us wait for you.
00:17:11I was like holding my breath for lots of people.
00:17:13But I bet you feel better now that that's over.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:16I mean, that song is such a singable, beautiful song.
00:17:20I know somebody else who sang it a couple decades ago on the show.
00:17:24But when people say you made it your own,
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own.
00:17:28I love the arrangement.
00:17:28I love what you did with it.
00:17:30You made that song suit your voice, and you did it really fantastically.
00:17:34Thank you so much, Carrie.
00:17:35Thank you, guys.
00:17:39Yeah, listen, I love everything you're doing.
00:17:41Your voice is very controlled and very perfect.
00:17:44But then, listen, keep pushing, too, and dig more and more
00:17:48because we're getting into the serious part of the competition.
00:17:50I love the – I totally echo what Carrie just said.
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig, and so glad to see you in this spot.
00:17:58Thank you, Lou.
00:17:59Great, great job on that.
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys.
00:18:03Honestly, honestly, it's ditto, ditto, ditto.
00:18:07I mean, there's a purity about your voice
00:18:09and a sincerity about your voice that just comes right through first note.
00:18:14Just remember – I like Luke now – remember, it's down to 14.
00:18:18Give it to us.
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:20All right.
00:18:22Good job, buddy.
00:18:23Nice to see you this evening.
00:18:25She did.
00:18:26She sang that a couple times, I think, in her season.
00:18:28Carrie Underwood.
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Yes, definitely inspired me.
00:18:31She did a great job.
00:18:32And to be able to sing it on the stage in front of her was very special.
00:18:36And it was symbolic, that song, right?
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:38Yeah, it's just a beautiful song.
00:18:39I love the line, God bless the broken road that led me straight to you.
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song that everybody can feel,
00:18:48and God leads us to the right people in life, whether that's friends or family.
00:18:52And I just love that message that the song brings.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote.

00:19:01Don't wait.

00:21:38All right.
00:21:39Well, Lord, help us out tonight.
00:21:41I'm not the only star Luke.
00:21:43Can he stay around for a long time?

00:21:52It's Brandon Lakes Gratitude.
00:21:54It's Tennessee.
00:21:55Lucas Leon.
00:21:56Nice work, friend.
00:21:58Great job.
00:21:59Oh, my gosh.
00:22:00You look like my child.
00:22:01Luke predicted you would make your hometown's Wikipedia page.
00:22:05Look at this.
00:22:05Lucas Leon, American Idol.
00:22:07Star, star, star right here.
00:22:08I've got a lot of family and friends back in Gallatin, Tennessee, and I just want to win
00:22:12it for them.
00:22:13Today.
00:22:17All my words fall short.
00:22:21I've got nothing.
00:22:26With my arms stretched wide.
00:22:31I will worship you.
00:22:35So I'll throw up my hands and praise you again and again.
00:22:43Cause all that I have is a hallelujah.
00:22:52Hallelujah.
00:22:55And I know it's not much, but I'm nothing else fit for a king.
00:23:02Except for a heart singing hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:23:18Oh, come on, my soul.
00:23:21Oh, don't you get shine on me.
00:23:24Look up your son.
00:23:25But you've got a light inside of those bones.
00:23:31Get up there and praise you, Lord.
00:23:36So I'll throw up my hands and praise you again and again.
00:23:44Cause all that I have is a hallelujah.
00:23:54Hallelujah.
00:24:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
00:24:10Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:24:33That was my favorite performance I've seen you do thus far.
00:24:38Thank you so much.
00:24:41It just felt like everything came together.
00:24:45Your voice really works in this room and the way you just stand there.
00:24:49You look like you got your whole thing together and you're ready to be a star.
00:24:57All I want you to know is grow that.
00:25:00All right.
00:25:01Grow that.
00:25:02In other words, what I'm saying to you is take this as the big step because you've got major behind
00:25:08you here.
00:25:09Okay, which means now you take it and take us to the next level of that performance right there.
00:25:15Yes, sir.
00:25:19Lucas, more than anything, I felt like you were very genuine in singing it, which was, I don't know, like
00:25:26I felt it.
00:25:27I felt a little Holy Spirit in the room, which was really wonderful.
00:25:32I also felt a little nerves from you, which I know is impossible.
00:25:34This is a big deal.
00:25:35This is like the real deal now.
00:25:37You know, we've got our top 14.
00:25:39Yep.
00:25:39So, this is serious, and you already know that, but just keep doing what you're doing.
00:25:44Yes, man.
00:25:47Nice work, Lucas.
00:25:50How are you feeling tonight?
00:25:52Like a weight just going.
00:25:53Yeah, lifted off of you?
00:25:54Yeah, let me tell you.
00:25:55I mean, you're plucked out of your real life.
00:25:58You have to understand that.
00:25:58For example, you just missed your senior prom, right?
00:26:01I did.
00:26:02I did.
00:26:02Oh, what?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:04It's terrible, but, you know, it's one of those things, you know.
00:26:07Well, I bet you it would have been prom king.
00:26:16There you go.
00:26:24I stopped for a burger on the way in, so I just grabbed that drive-thru.

00:27:00How lucky are the kids to have you?
00:27:03Your voice is insane.

00:27:46Oh, if your walls are crashing down.
00:27:52Oh, if your heart just cries too loud all the time.
00:28:03I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:07Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:08Come on.
00:28:09I swear that love will find you in your pain.
00:28:14I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins.
00:28:20I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:24I said, I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:29Listen, your ass is far from a burning dream.
00:28:36But I know there's going to be some brighter days.
00:28:41Oh, don't hear the loud.
00:28:44You've come too far.
00:28:46Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:48Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:49I said, there's going to be a brighter days.
00:28:52Do you believe it now?
00:28:53Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:55Come on, clap your hands.
00:28:55There's going to be some brighter days.
00:29:02There's going to be some brighter days.
00:29:07Oh, boy, yeah.
00:29:08Oh, boy, yeah.
00:29:16Good job.
00:29:18Come on.
00:29:20Woo.
00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done.
00:29:31You see, automatically, I never thought I would have to share all night long.
00:29:36Now, people stop me on the street and go, I saw your man with all night long.
00:29:40You see, now you're a mister all night long.
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story and then move the crowd.
00:29:49And what you did there was a great, great performance.
00:29:53Thank you, sir.
00:29:56I love that.
00:29:58I feel like you're so serious, like, all the time.
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music gets going, then you're like, okay, here's fun,
00:30:05Daniel.
00:30:06And then the music stops again and you're like, very serious again.
00:30:09But I do feel like we're watching you kind of just get into a more comfortable, fun space.
00:30:16Like, I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song because this would be
00:30:20the chance for a lot of people to do, like, big, slow songs.
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction.
00:30:24I think that's going to differentiate you tonight a little bit.
00:30:27Very good.
00:30:31Yeah.
00:30:33Have fun with all this.
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow, and expand and try new things.
00:30:39And that's what you did with All Night Long because we hadn't seen you do that yet.
00:30:42And then, like I said, this got you moving.
00:30:44You were out here with us.
00:30:46You walked by.
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back.
00:30:50So you got me in the spirit.
00:30:52So just keep growing.
00:30:54Keep growing.
00:30:58It was actually like a high-five with a knee-up kind of thing you did right there.
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move.
00:31:04Flexibility at its best.
00:31:06So are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher, and so I have to be serious.
00:31:11Oh, that'll do it.
00:31:12But what's the real you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit.
00:31:15To be honest, I really don't have any sense for real.
00:31:19I can get really, I can have a lot of fun.
00:31:21So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more.
00:31:22There you go.

00:45:21So I'ma keep on singing
00:45:26Till my soul catches up
00:45:29And there's times when my hands go up freely
00:45:35And times at a cost
00:45:38And there's days when a praise comes out easy
00:45:45And days when it takes all the strength I've got
00:45:49So I'll bring my heart
00:45:52So I'll bring my heart
00:46:19I'll bring my heart
00:46:49And God, you'll be gracious, pray for whatever I'm feeling facing.

00:47:21Brayden, you are here because you have an incredible voice, like hands down, you showed it off.

00:47:34And I mean, you're here because you should be.
00:47:37You deserve to be.
00:47:38It was great.
00:47:42Yeah, just if you get through, I hope you do.

00:51:11Yes.
00:51:12Thank you, Robert.
00:51:13Getting this second chance reminds me how lucky I am to be here.
00:51:18Just stars.
00:51:20Straight up stars.
00:51:25Welcome back.
00:51:36When you try your best, but you don't succeed.
00:51:43When you get what you want, but not what you need.
00:51:49When you feel so tired, but you can't see.
00:52:03When you lose something you can't replace.
00:52:15When you lose something you can't replace.
00:52:21Could it be worse?
00:52:32Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones.
00:52:44And I will try to fix you.
00:52:51To stream down your face.
00:52:57When you lose something you cannot replace.
00:53:04To stream down your face.
00:53:17Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you.
00:53:36To stream down your bones and I will try to fix you.
00:53:39To stream down your bones and I will try to fix you.
00:53:50Yeah, really well done.
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential and star quality and that gave me all of those
00:53:59vibes just you and your guitar.
00:54:02Great song choice.
00:54:04Loved it.
00:54:05What I'm loving most about it's it's number one in everybody's category.
00:54:11What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane.
00:54:15And that was your lane clearly.
00:54:17Now what I want you to do on that is build on it.
00:54:21You've got your section.
00:54:23But this group right here this 14 is a rough group here babes.
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand is carve out your part that's memorable to the listeners out there.
00:54:35Yes, sir.
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel.
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one.
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way to really establishing like your own sound.
00:54:45You have a really great way of taking somebody else's song.
00:54:51And I mean, we first heard you sing in your own stuff.
00:54:53But now we're kind of hearing you sing some covers.
00:54:55But you're really good at taking those songs and putting yourself in them.
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artists, which is just really refreshing.
00:55:02Thank you so much, Karen.
00:55:06Good to see you, buddy.
00:55:07I know you were hanging out with some of the other finalists at the Dodgers game the other night.
00:55:12Yes, sir. I went to the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game with my boy Jake and Jesse.
00:55:15Yes, and they did all right at the Dodgers, didn't they?
00:55:17They always do.
00:55:19By the way, they were over there and they were swaying to your song.
00:55:23We saw them.
00:55:23Thank you, guys.
00:55:24Kind of moving along to that.

00:55:54Songwriter, it's my favorite thing in the world.
00:55:58You've got artists written all over you, and I'm loving every minute of it.
00:56:02The industry platinum ticket goes to...
00:56:06Amen.
00:56:11What can wash away my sin?
00:56:17Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:56:23What can make me whole again?
00:56:29Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:56:34Oh, precious is the blood of Jesus.
00:56:41Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as no, no other fountain.
00:56:53No, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:56:59Come on.
00:57:01For thy parting this I seek.
00:57:05Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:57:11Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:57:18Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:57:25Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as no, no other fountain.
00:57:35Oh, precious is the flow that makes me white as long as no another fountain.
00:57:42And I know nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:57:49Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
00:58:13Kendall, I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:23You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself, and I said, let it go.
00:58:32My goodness. It is a testament to what you're doing.
00:58:38I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that, okay?
00:58:48Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist, and I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like,
00:58:58super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works, and you're here for this time right now.
00:59:08Wow. That was incredible. You are such an artist. You are so professional, and, like, I don't know.
00:59:17I'm just in awe watching you. It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid, and we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice,
00:59:38and you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you,
00:59:49and we just saw that happen.
00:59:50Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:55So I've noticed that you like to sing in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are...
01:00:02I mean, we're not going to show the world. They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right. Well, use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10Can you cover Ron's with the dress also?
01:00:13There you go. That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:18It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah. I like to... I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right. Let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.
01:00:27I feel like the size of a Keebler elf right now.
01:00:29You can vote for Kindle and all your favorites five different ways.
01:00:33Online at AmericanIdle.com, on social media, through Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

01:00:51Feel free to join in, Luke.
01:00:53I like those moves.
01:00:54Those moves.
01:00:54Yeah, those moves.
01:00:55You want to take those on tour, do you?
01:00:57I'm all good.
01:00:58I'm all good.
01:00:58Yeah, okay.
01:00:59More inspired songs on the way, like I can only imagine, from George and McCullough.
01:01:05And imagine, from Brooks, you're next after this on American Idol.
01:01:23Thanks for tuning in live wherever you are, and on Disney Plus.
01:01:27We hope you're loving our Songs of Faith night.
01:01:29Next Monday, it's the return of our judges song contest right here.
01:01:33But with a 90s twist and calling all millennials, we've got a TGIF reunion with some of your favorite stars
01:01:41live on this stage.
01:01:42I know, I'm excited.
01:01:44So don't miss it.
01:01:46Now, with a number one from Christian rock band Mercy Me, it's Jordan McCullough.
01:01:52I'm a performer in church, and I didn't know that any of this was a possibility outside of the choir
01:01:57stand.
01:01:58Let the universe just say amen.
01:02:01You're a powerhouse singer.
01:02:03You keep surprising me.
01:02:05I've tried many things, but I feel like I finally have found what I'm looking for.
01:02:13I can only imagine what it'd be like
01:02:19When I walk by your side
01:02:25I can only imagine
01:02:30I can only imagine
01:02:34When that day comes
01:02:38And I find myself
01:02:42Standing in the sun
01:02:45I can only imagine
01:02:48When all I will do
01:02:51Is forever
01:02:55Forever worship you
01:02:59Surrounded by your glory
01:03:02What will my heart feel?
01:03:05Will I dance for you, Jesus?
01:03:09Or in awe of you be still
01:03:11Will I stand in your presence
01:03:15To my knees
01:03:16To my knees will I fall
01:03:18Will I sing
01:03:19Hallelujah
01:03:21Will I be able to sing
01:03:33Hallelujah
01:03:34Will I be able to speak it all
01:03:50Will I be able to speak it all
01:03:52Will I be able to speak it all
01:03:54Will I be able to speak it all
01:03:55I can only imagine
01:04:20Praise God.
01:04:22Praise God.
01:04:23Well, thank you.
01:04:29That's all I have to say.
01:04:33God bless you.
01:04:37Every time we see you, you have the ability to bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:44And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:50And it's just a craft.
01:04:51It's an art that you have.
01:04:53And that was another notch up the ladder.
01:04:56Thank you so much.
01:04:59And I'll make it very short.
01:05:02Will the congregation please say amen?
01:05:06Amen.
01:05:07Amen.
01:05:12This is your lane.
01:05:13This is what you do.
01:05:15That's it.
01:05:15As a worship director.
01:05:17Every single Sunday, right?
01:05:18Right.
01:05:18This feels like church to me.
01:05:20This is like, yeah.
01:05:22I mean, the only thing different is like, maybe Ronnie here on his steady camera.
01:05:26Other than that, it's like being at Zeal Church, isn't it?
01:05:28It's cool.
01:05:28Yeah, I like that.
01:05:29Yeah, well.
01:05:30Oh, look at that.

01:11:51It means a lot to me to represent other moms

01:25:49Okay, the voting, it's about to close during this commercial break, so lock in your votes.
01:25:56Who do you want in your top 12?
01:25:59Your results are coming live right after this.
01:26:14Back with you on American Idol.
01:26:16It has been an incredible night on this stage.
01:26:19The judges and the whole studio have been on their feet all night long, enjoying this
01:26:25Songs of Faith.
01:26:27Tom, give them the lights, and here we go.
01:26:31Lionel, just quickly, how, in your view, is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes, this is probably the most diverse.
01:26:40When I say that, I mean from every imaginable configuration of genre, you all have managed
01:26:48to sparkle us again to the point where we don't know where you're coming from.
01:26:52All Martians are in this class.
01:26:55All Martians.
01:26:56Amazing class.
01:26:57Amazing class.
01:26:57And Carrie, you've done this before.
01:26:59How does the competition shift once we go live on the stage?
01:27:03I mean, there's definitely, there's pressure throughout, but it's just a different kind
01:27:08of pressure.
01:27:08You are live.
01:27:09But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion and show us what they
01:27:14got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke?
01:27:18How do you choose?
01:27:19I don't know how America chooses.
01:27:21You got to trust your gut as a voter at home and just pick the people that, pick the artists
01:27:28that are on stage.
01:27:29Just make you smile, make you laugh, make you cry.
01:27:32And I don't know how America's going to do it.
01:27:36Well, we have had five ways to vote tonight.
01:27:39Tens of millions of votes coming in at a rate we have never seen before.
01:27:44Truly unprecedented.
01:27:45And to ensure complete accuracy with the numbers, I was literally just told we are not going
01:27:53to announce eliminations tonight.
01:27:55What?
01:27:57This is the first time it's ever happened.
01:27:59Believe me, I've been here every night.
01:28:02I want to make sure we get every vote counted and every vote right.
01:28:06We'll carry forward those votes, get everything verified.
01:28:08So at the top of next week's show, your results will be revealed live on this stage.
01:28:24There you have it, America.
01:28:27Tens of millions of votes.
01:28:28Your top 12 will sing for your votes live all over again during our judges song contest
01:28:34with a 90s twist.
01:28:36That's next Monday, 8, 7 central, live right here.
01:28:40Good night, America.
01:28:41Good night.
