00:00:07I am very happy to be back. My second season as a judge. It feels like family.
00:00:21I have my family to support me.
00:00:25I'm very blessed to have my family that really believes in me.
00:00:30My family is always pushing me to be better.
00:00:33My whole family has pushed me through the years.
00:00:35We're going to do it together, okay?
00:00:37Okay.
00:00:38All right. I love you.
00:00:39I know some people that would die for me.
00:00:42We're here to inspire them.
00:00:44Welcome to our family.
00:00:49Getting to watch these kids chase their dreams.
00:00:52I feel really proud of where we're at as judges and with the talent that's come in.
00:00:57The moment of truth.
00:00:59The part I see on TV.
00:01:02Last day of auditions.
00:01:04Another beautiful day in Nashville.
00:01:06Searching for talent.
00:01:07Let's do it.
00:01:08For all of my life.
00:01:11Welcome to my funeral.

00:01:15I can't even talk.
00:01:18And now I'm going to start crying.
00:01:20This is literally something that I've been dreaming of since I was little.
00:01:24Oh my God, you're here.

00:01:34I remember like the season finale of American Idol was like Christmas.
00:01:38I couldn't sleep the night before.
00:01:45I was so excited to watch it.
00:01:46And so this is like a dream come true.

00:04:16Goodness.
00:04:16I can't believe we have not seen you in this room until now.
00:04:21I think you kinda read Luke's mind, he was like, can she hit the U in her chest voice, and
00:04:26then you did.
00:04:27You did it.
00:04:27In my opinion, you did a lot of amazing things in that performance just then.
00:04:32You got some pipes, for sure, which, that's your whole goal, is to come in and, like, show us what
00:04:37you got.
00:04:38A little trouble laying in the plane, but we were flying high, so it really didn't matter,
00:04:42because you did enough throughout the rest of the song, great voice.
00:04:47Thank you so much.
00:04:47Love your choices.
00:04:50You took Aretha, turned it upside down, and made it yours.
00:04:53I think it was just brilliant.
00:04:56Very, very good.
00:04:56Thank you so much.
00:04:58Thank you, guys.
00:04:59What does it mean for you to be here right now, to finally be here?
00:05:02Um, I think that it came at the perfect time.
00:05:05My whole family's here.
00:05:06My dad, um, actually suffered from a stroke a year ago, a severe one.
00:05:12I almost lost him, and he's here with me right now.
00:05:16Wow.
00:05:17She's just worked so hard to get there, and I'm so proud of her work.
00:05:24Oh, man.
00:05:28We're so happy you're here to be here for her dad.
00:05:32So it's really crazy that we're here.
00:05:35I didn't think that we would be in this position.
00:05:38Sorry.
00:05:39You're good?
00:05:39No, it's good.
00:05:41All right, let's vote.

00:06:43See you back soon.
00:06:45I'm proud of you.
00:06:46I'm so proud of you.
00:06:52Oh, that's so great.
00:06:54She's good.
00:06:56My little princess is going to be the next American Idol.
00:07:03I feel it in my bones.
00:07:06And I won't let you down.
00:07:08I love you, too.
00:07:13How beautiful is this, guys?
00:07:15Last year and the year before, we kept saying, you can't beat it.
00:07:18You can't beat it.
00:07:19And we did.
00:07:20It is so exciting because we don't know what to expect.
00:07:24You never do.
00:07:24I can't tell you.
00:07:25We are human beings that the world and us doesn't know.
00:07:28Take us on an emotional ride, too.
00:07:30And also, I think we kind of recognize in the stories just how blessed we are.
00:07:36You know, because when you get into the lives of some of these beautiful people,
00:07:40we learn that the struggles are very different.
00:07:44Yo, yo, yo.
00:07:45Yo, yo, yo.
00:07:47Left turn, left turn.
00:07:48Left turn.
00:07:49Howdy.
00:07:50How are you guys doing?
00:07:51We're doing good.
00:07:52What is your name, sir?
00:07:54I am Moore.
00:07:54Moore what?
00:07:56Moore Ilderton.
00:07:57Ilderton.
00:07:57I'm going to have some more of nothing.
00:07:59I know what you're doing there.
00:08:00Is that a family name?
00:08:01So my real name is Clarence Morton Ilderton IV, so we just cut Morton in half.
00:08:06That's way too long.
00:08:07I like it.
00:08:07I would hate to be called Clarence.
00:08:09No offense to any Clarences.
00:08:10Where are you from?
00:08:11I'm from Taze Valley, West Virginia.
00:08:13Born and raised there.
00:08:14And I'm 22 years old.
00:08:16Tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:08:18Goodness.
00:08:18I was raised by my grandma.
00:08:21I've had a great childhood.
00:08:23And the fact that I'm here right now, it's freaking awesome.
00:08:26I'm really excited.
00:08:27So good.
00:08:28Since I was two years old, I was put into full custody with my grandma.
00:08:32And I grew up calling her mom.
00:08:36She is an amazing woman.
00:08:39I mean, I was a mischievous kid.
00:08:41I put her through so much.
00:08:45Whoever I am reaches back to her always.
00:08:48He was a kicker on the football team in high school.
00:08:51I played basketball.
00:08:52And then all of a sudden, he started playing the guitar.
00:08:56He taught himself.
00:08:57He's just really good.
00:08:58He's very talented.
00:09:04She made my life feel so normal and sacrificed so much for me.
00:09:09She's my rock.
00:09:10Does he know that you're here?
00:09:12No.
00:09:14When he left, I told him I was really sorry I couldn't be there for him.
00:09:18And he said, I understand.
00:09:20And I just think that it was important to him.
00:09:24And I'm going to cry.
00:09:30And I think I really want to be there for him.
00:09:33What are you going to be singing for us today?
00:09:35I am singing a song, a very meaningful song.
00:09:38I wrote it.
00:09:40It's called Strong.
00:09:41And I lost my biological mom when I was two years old.
00:09:45My dad ended my mom's life.
00:09:50It's about seeing my mom's picture for the first time
00:09:52and not knowing her and just kind of looking at a stranger
00:09:55and just pouring out my emotions of that through this song.
00:10:09Take your time.
00:10:10We're good.
00:10:11Take your time.
00:10:12Take your time.
00:10:13You're all good.
00:10:14Ali.
00:10:15Take your time.
00:10:16Hey, look up.
00:10:19It's all good, baby.
00:10:20We're here.
00:10:21I know.
00:10:21All good.
00:10:22Whew.
00:10:23I see.
00:10:23I see.
00:10:38I see.
00:11:00I see.
00:11:03I see.
00:11:04I see.
00:11:04Love it.
00:11:05I see.
00:11:06I see.
00:11:07I see.
00:11:08I see.
00:11:13I see.
00:11:28I see.
00:11:35And I don't want to need you anymore
00:11:38I don't want to bleed you anymore
00:11:41Everything in me is hanging on
00:11:44You're the only reason that I'm strong
00:11:54That I'm strong
00:12:01Oh, Mama
00:12:06I hope you found your way home
00:12:13Over West Virginia
00:12:16You're looking and we wish you were

00:12:34Very cool
00:12:35Thank you, guys
00:12:36Very cool
00:12:38In fact, you took that time and pulled that together
00:12:40I feel like you went somewhere else
00:12:45When you were singing
00:12:47It's like we weren't here
00:12:48In a good way
00:12:49Thank you
00:12:50As unnerved as you may feel
00:12:52I love your delivery
00:12:54I love the timbre of your voice
00:12:56And more importantly, that writing was very cool
00:13:00Thank you so much
00:13:01That means the world to me
00:13:02Seriously

00:13:10The voice
00:13:11What else has he got, Carrie?
00:13:13He's got support
00:13:15And where is that support?
00:13:20Wait
00:13:33I haven't been on an airplane for like 25 plus years
00:13:38Get away
00:13:39Yeah, this has been exciting
00:13:40I can't believe you're here
00:13:42Grandma, what's your name?

00:13:44Sandy
00:13:44Sandy
00:13:45We want to applaud you for stepping up and raising him
00:13:49Oh, my gosh
00:13:50He's been a blessing
00:13:51But wait, wait
00:13:52We have some more business
00:13:53We have to tell him if he's going through to Hollywood Week or not
00:13:56Yes

00:14:55But you go by Jor
00:14:56Jor
00:14:57I love you
00:14:58Um, it was very 15 years old to me
00:15:01Oh, come on
00:15:02Apparently that's bad
00:15:03It's frowned upon
00:15:06I think this year Luke has kind of taken a role of being maybe a little tougher than in seasons
00:15:13past
00:15:13You weren't all the way in control of it
00:15:17Black guy don't act
00:15:19Luke is absolutely out of his mind
00:15:20In fact, I can go one step further
00:15:21He's crazy
00:15:22Everybody's been like, oh, that's great the way she's doing that, but it ain't all the time great
00:15:28He's been tougher this season
00:15:31Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes
00:15:36It felt like you had a bunch of Benadryl before you walked in here
00:15:40Tough crowd
00:15:41Tough crowd
00:15:41That is the truth
00:15:42So he was saying no to everybody
00:15:45I'm a no
00:15:47Yeah, I'm a bad guy
00:15:49Carrie gave me a
00:15:50I did
00:15:50Look
00:15:51I gave you a dirty look there
00:15:54Luke was just grumpy
00:15:55Am I right or wrong?
00:15:58I'm a no right now
00:15:59It's a no for me
00:16:01I'm a no for right now
00:16:04Wow
00:16:04I'm trying to make these kids nervous and understand it's tough out there
00:16:09You're a grumpy old man
00:16:13Sir, is your name Luke Bryan?
00:16:14It is, am I in trouble?
00:16:16I heard you were giving too many no's
00:16:17Is that true?
00:16:18I was giving some no's there, officer
00:16:21Unfortunately, that is a violation of code IDOL26
00:16:24So I'm going to need your hand, sir

00:21:25Come down off your throne
00:21:29Leave that body alone
00:21:33Somebody must change
00:21:38You are the reason
00:21:40I've been waiting so long
00:21:45Somebody holds the key
00:21:47And I'm near the end
00:21:52And I just ain't got the time
00:21:57Oh, wasted
00:22:01And I can't find my way home
00:22:07No, I can't

00:22:30To Bon Jovi
00:22:31To Brian Adams
00:22:33I mean, but what I'm loving

00:22:45I picked up guitar then
00:22:46And then roughly six months later
00:22:48I played my first show
00:22:48And just sort of snowballed
00:22:50From there, so
00:22:50As a nine-year-old
00:22:51Play your first show
00:22:52Yeah

00:24:04Oh, come on
00:24:05Come on
00:24:06All right
00:24:06Well, tell us who you are
00:24:07My name is Landon Hughes
00:24:09I'm from Hazard, Kentucky
00:24:10I'm 19 years old
00:24:11And I'm a college soccer player
00:24:12As well
00:24:13College soccer player
00:24:14Yes, sir
00:24:15What college are you at?
00:24:16I'm at Lake Erie College
00:24:17In Painesville, Ohio
00:24:18Are you enjoying doing that?
00:24:19I'll be God's honest
00:24:20I had a
00:24:21I'll be God's honest
00:24:22You've got to be somewhere
00:24:23From Kentucky to go
00:24:24God's honest
00:24:25Yeah
00:24:26To be honest, I love it
00:24:27You know, I didn't think
00:24:28Going up there would be
00:24:29As much of a life-changing
00:24:30Experience as it is
00:24:31But it kind of made me
00:24:33Re-fall in love with music
00:24:34Crooked the road
00:24:37And the wind
00:24:38As Appalachians
00:24:39We have a very unique
00:24:40Experience in life
00:24:41But I used to hate home
00:24:42When I was growing up
00:24:44You know, after coal crashed
00:24:45You know, a lot of stuff
00:24:46Was taken away
00:24:47And I was the first generation
00:24:48To really experience
00:24:49A hazard with not a lot
00:24:51When I first moved out of Kentucky
00:24:52Started playing college soccer
00:24:54And, uh, you know
00:24:55I started missing home
00:24:56Tell me why did you run
00:24:59Obviously being from
00:25:00Southeast Kentucky
00:25:00Bluegrass is our genre
00:25:02And I started listening
00:25:03To the old albums, you know
00:25:04And every time I hear it
00:25:05It transforms me back
00:25:06To the mountains
00:25:06Whether I'm in Cleveland
00:25:08Or Nashville
00:25:09It really transforms me
00:25:10Back home
00:25:10You know, listening to Bluegrass
00:25:14Really made me realize
00:25:14I took Appalachia for advantage
00:25:16For many years
00:25:16When I lived there
00:25:17And now I've changed
00:25:19I'm here 100%
00:25:20To represent Appalachia
00:25:22When I play the music
00:25:23That's the sound of home
00:25:24When they see me
00:25:24That's the look of home
00:25:25And I walk with it every day
00:25:27You know, I carry dirt
00:25:28From home on my boots
00:25:29I carry home with me
00:25:30And I carry here
00:25:31To American Idol
00:25:32Because I'm proud of it
00:25:33You go in there
00:25:34And show them
00:25:35With this small town
00:25:36Eastern Kentucky boy
00:25:38Hazard Kentucky

00:25:42This audition

00:25:45I'm going out here
00:25:45To pick it
00:25:46Pick it fast
00:25:47Sing it loud
00:25:48Hopefully it has an impact
00:25:50On them
00:25:57Oh, we understand
00:26:04Little Maggie
00:26:05With a drink glass
00:26:07In her hand
00:26:08She's drinking away
00:26:10All the troubles
00:26:11And she's caught
00:26:12In another man
00:26:19Lay down your last gold dollar
00:26:22Lay down your gold
00:26:24Watch and chain
00:26:25Little Maggie's gonna dance

00:26:50If you can get you another man
00:26:54All right
00:26:55Yay
00:26:55There you go
00:26:58Yeah
00:26:59Thank you very much
00:27:00I appreciate it
00:27:01Thank you
00:27:03You make me happy
00:27:04Thank you
00:27:05Okay, I have one
00:27:07For real question
00:27:09So in this competition
00:27:10We do Rock Hall of Fame
00:27:12We do Disney Night
00:27:14We throw things at you
00:27:16We want you to be you
00:27:18Can you be you
00:27:19In other genres
00:27:23I think I can do
00:27:23About every genre
00:27:24I love music
00:27:25All across the board
00:27:26Not just bluegrass
00:27:27Because where I'm from
00:27:27But I love every bit of music
00:27:29You're old school
00:27:30That you can be
00:27:30I like your vibe
00:27:32Thank you
00:27:32I just want to make sure
00:27:33That you understand
00:27:34In that character
00:27:35That you have of your voice
00:27:37You're gonna have to
00:27:38Take us on that journey
00:27:39Where we don't get
00:27:40Too comfortable
00:27:41Knowing what you're gonna do
00:27:42You're gonna kind of
00:27:43Guide us through it
00:27:45Vocally I'm a little skeptical
00:27:48There was some stuff
00:27:49You did at the end
00:27:50Where you had a little
00:27:50Vibrato in there
00:27:51And it was really nice
00:27:52So I think you're still
00:27:53Exploring a lot
00:27:54With your voice
00:27:57I feel like you
00:27:58Deserve a chance
00:27:59To prove yourself
00:28:01But if you should
00:28:02Make it through
00:28:03You're gonna have to
00:28:04Work on your delivery
00:28:05And pulling us in
00:28:06And some of the
00:28:07Softer tones
00:28:08Just really emoting
00:28:11It's a yes for me
00:28:13I would like to see
00:28:14What you do
00:28:15Thank you very much
00:28:16I really appreciate that
00:28:18I really am just
00:28:19Going on faith
00:28:21It's a yes for me
00:28:22Thank you
00:28:23I do think
00:28:24You may have a little bit
00:28:26Of an uphill climb
00:28:27With some of these voices
00:28:28In this competition
00:28:29But
00:28:30There's only one way
00:28:31You can learn
00:28:35Yes for me
00:28:36Oh my god
00:28:39Thank you
00:28:42Thank you
00:28:43This means the world to me
00:28:48For so long
00:28:48I was afraid of
00:28:50Kind of exploring
00:28:51Who I was
00:28:51And where I was from
00:28:52And up
00:28:55You know
00:28:55I can finally be who I am
00:28:56And be proud of it
00:28:59You know
00:29:00I won't be afraid
00:29:02Thank you
00:29:03Thank you
00:29:03Thank you so much
00:29:05Thank you

00:29:30That I need
00:29:31And giving me the ability
00:29:32To change my life
00:29:36This has my heart
00:29:37You know
00:29:38It's everything
00:29:39And
00:29:39I'm very proud
00:29:41To take this ticket
00:29:41Back home
00:29:47Belmont's pretty nice
00:29:48Huh

00:30:12That I could play guitar

00:30:55To have the growl
00:30:56Yeah

00:31:00Okay that was
00:31:00A hymorrhoid

00:31:03Use that
00:31:04But did he just
00:31:06Say hymorrhoid
00:31:07That is a visual
00:31:08In the music world
00:31:09You kind of have

00:32:37Correct
00:32:37Okay
00:32:38I don't know what it was
00:32:39Or if it was like the
00:32:41Drawing out certain notes
00:32:42Or something
00:32:43And then like getting back
00:32:44Into some sort of rhythm
00:32:45On the piano
00:32:45But I was like
00:32:46I'm trying to
00:32:47Follow
00:32:47Okay
00:32:48I'm trying to follow
00:32:49And I can't
00:32:50I want to tap my toe
00:32:51And I can't do it
00:32:52Do you gig out a lot
00:32:53Are you
00:32:53Is music paying the bills
00:32:55I actually am
00:32:56A vocal coach
00:32:57At Destiny Music Studio
00:32:59Ah
00:33:00So you instill in the kids
00:33:02The confidence
00:33:03To be great singers
00:33:05And not be afraid
00:33:06Of the stage
00:33:07Yes sir
00:33:08I hope they see me up here too
00:33:09And see themselves
00:33:10And me
00:33:11And get inspired
00:33:11That they can do this too
00:33:13Brenna
00:33:14You are such an inspiration
00:33:16And your students
00:33:17Are so proud of you
00:33:17And they wish
00:33:18That they could be here today
00:33:19And they recorded a video
00:33:21Oh my gosh
00:33:22I'm going to cry
00:33:25You can do this Miss Brenna
00:33:27I believe in you
00:33:29Good luck Miss Brenna
00:33:30We're so proud of you
00:33:31I love you Miss Brenna
00:33:33And I wish you the best
00:33:34Like ever
00:33:35Oh my gosh
00:33:36Come on Miss Brenna
00:33:40That is the best thing
00:33:42I've ever seen
00:33:44My students mean the world to me
00:33:45So many kids come in
00:33:47Sharing their dreams with me
00:33:48And it feels like me being here
00:33:50Shows that with hard work
00:33:51And never giving up
00:33:52Anything is possible
00:33:53Do you have another song
00:33:54That you could do
00:33:55Like sans piano?
00:33:57Yeah I can do
00:33:58On My Church by Maren Morris
00:33:59Try to breathe and settle down
00:34:03I've cussed on a Sunday
00:34:07I've cheated and I've lied
00:34:10I've fallen down from grace
00:34:13A few too many times
00:34:15But I find holy redemption
00:34:18When I put this car in drive
00:34:22Roll the windows down
00:34:24And turn up the dial
00:34:26Can I get a hallelujah
00:34:30Can I get an amen
00:34:33Feels like the Holy Ghost
00:34:35Running through ya
00:34:36When I play the highway
00:34:38There
00:34:39I find my son and father
00:34:42Singing every single verse
00:34:45Yeah I guess that's my search
00:34:51That was better
00:34:52That was much better
00:34:53You have a huge range
00:34:55You can sing softly
00:34:57You can belt on the higher stuff
00:35:00Definitely feel like there needs to be
00:35:02Some fine tuning here and there
00:35:04But I feel like you have one of the better voices
00:35:05That we have heard so far
00:35:07Thank you
00:35:08You're a vocal coach
00:35:10But I feel like if me and Lionel left
00:35:13And you and her had two hours
00:35:14When we'd come back
00:35:15You would be maybe 100% more of a dynamic singer
00:35:19You got all the tools vocally
00:35:21Yes sir, thank you
00:35:22I think there's so much promise
00:35:25I love your vibe
00:35:27It's a yes or mean
00:35:29That's one, that's one
00:35:30Make it two
00:35:32It's a yes card
00:35:33Oh, that's two
00:35:35Make it three
00:35:36All right
00:35:37Gives me great pleasure to say
00:35:40You're going to Hollywood week
00:35:41Thank you
00:35:43Getting three yeses feels absolutely amazing
00:35:45This is the life I've always dreamed of for myself
00:35:48I've never wanted to be anything else but a singer
00:35:57Yeah, she's got a thing there
00:35:59She's got a little star dust on her
00:36:01I can't wait for my students to see me on their TVs
00:36:04Like I really hope they just see themselves in me
00:36:07I'm going to Hollywood week
00:36:12More to Common American Idol
00:36:14Where the search for the next incredible class of singers continues
00:36:20You say you don't mean what you're saying to me
00:36:24But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things
00:36:28I don't want to get undressed for a new person all over again
00:36:38I don't want to kiss someone else's neck
00:36:42And have to pretend it's yours instead
00:36:46No, I don't want to get undressed for a new person all over again
00:36:57You got a voice
00:36:59It's just identity now
00:37:00It's like who are you going to be walking out on stage
00:37:03I got you
00:37:04Yeah, tell us some more about you
00:37:05Do you write?
00:37:06Yes, sir
00:37:07I write music
00:37:08And I work at a golf course
00:37:10You work at a golf course?
00:37:11I do
00:37:12You a golfer?
00:37:13Oh
00:37:13Oh, is he a golfer?
00:37:14Am I a golfer?
00:37:15No, no, no
00:37:16He is a golfer, no
00:37:17You need a caddy
00:37:18You're a caddy?
00:37:19Yes, sir
00:37:20Do you have an orange or anything?
00:37:21A piece of fruit?
00:37:23I need to see if this guy can read a putt
00:37:25Got any fruit over there?
00:37:29I need a putter
00:37:31Gary
00:37:33I need a broom or something
00:37:35Somebody come and get him
00:37:36I just broke the mic, Stan
00:37:39Say it, Luke
00:37:40We need tech
00:37:45Maddie, get ready
00:37:46All right
00:37:47You've never had golf like this before
00:37:49Hold that
00:37:50Yep
00:37:50All right, here's the hole
00:37:52Yep
00:37:52Come here
00:37:53Now you get one roll to read it
00:37:56All right
00:37:58Looks like it's got some right to left
00:37:59There we go, yeah
00:38:00A little inside the mark there
00:38:02Am I going?
00:38:08Ah, good read
00:38:11Here we go
00:38:14I mean, I would use the other end
00:38:16Yeah, yeah
00:38:18Oh, a little, uh
00:38:20Brewing stick
00:38:21There you go
00:38:25That's terrible
00:38:25That was just
00:38:26That was pitiful
00:38:27Luke, let me tell you something
00:38:28If you're going to do it
00:38:29Do it right
00:38:30Give Lionel a read
00:38:31Oh, man, I got to read
00:38:32Listen, I know where it is
00:38:33All right
00:38:34Watch this
00:38:38Go in
00:38:40That's in
00:38:40You drained it
00:38:41Pretty good
00:38:42Thank you very much
00:38:42You drained it
00:38:43You know why
00:38:44Because I'm the master of putt-putt
00:38:47How'd you like that?
00:38:48That was good
00:38:49Great putt
00:38:49Great speed
00:38:50Good line
00:38:50All right, let's just
00:38:51Let's do it
00:38:52Take charge of this, Lukey
00:38:56Yes
00:38:57I'm a yes
00:38:59You're on your way
00:39:00You say yes
00:39:01Can I shake your hands?
00:39:02You got it
00:39:02Thank you for all that
00:39:04Good job
00:39:08No one gives you credit for my putt-putt, man
00:39:09Come on
00:39:10That was so
00:39:11You did good with that
00:39:11That was serious
00:39:12I'm going to Harvard, Lee
00:39:28My name is Bella Emery
00:39:29I'm 22 years old
00:39:30And I'm from Bend, Oregon
00:39:34Bend is beautiful
00:39:35Lots of trees
00:39:36Lots of nature
00:39:37We don't have as many
00:39:38Like big places to perform
00:39:40But that is the goal
00:39:42Rather than working
00:39:43Which I work all the time
00:39:47We are heading to Yoli
00:39:49The restaurant that I work at
00:39:51The service industry is not my dream
00:39:54But I feel proud of where I work
00:39:59I also work for my parents
00:40:03They own a concrete restoration business
00:40:06So, Bella, can you make sure they get notice?
00:40:09No shade to my parents, but
00:40:12I'd much rather be singing
00:40:15And I would love to make in my life
00:40:22I've been watching Idol since I was a little kid
00:40:23Now I'm doing it
00:40:25I am the most nervous I think I have ever been in my whole life
00:40:29Singing is second nature to me
00:40:30But I do not perform for people
00:40:32So, this could be life-changing
00:40:34Granddaddy ran shine in East Tennessee
00:40:40Guess that's where I got my need for speed
00:40:45I sell it illegal to people numbing their pain
00:40:50I'm a little crazy
00:40:52I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane
00:40:56And oh, once you get to know me
00:41:01I'm a coyote
00:41:03In a field of walls
00:41:08And oh, I'm a red-led rebel
00:41:12Some become the devil
00:41:15When the moons fall
00:41:20Yeah, the only thing keeping these tracks on the train
00:41:25Knowing I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane
00:41:33I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane
00:41:43I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane
00:41:57I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane
00:42:01I'm a coyote in a field of wolves
00:42:07And oh, I'm a red-lighted rebel
00:42:12Some become the devil when the moon is full
00:42:19Yeah, the only thing keeping these tracks on the train
00:42:24Knowing I'm a little crazy when the world's in the sand
00:42:30Oh, I'm a little crazy when the world's in the sand
00:42:35Thank you!
00:42:40That was great!
00:42:42Thank you!
00:42:43I'm surprised to hear you say that you don't perform
00:42:48I actually don't really do anything like this
00:42:50My heart's beating really fast
00:42:52You seemed very comfortable just telling a story
00:42:57Nobody was breathing when you were singing
00:42:59Than just kind of hanging on every word with you
00:43:02So, well done!
00:43:03Thank you!
00:43:05Yeah, you're so raw and unpolished
00:43:08I wasn't expecting you to be able to really hold our attention like that
00:43:11I mean, you didn't hit a bad note
00:43:13You held the guitar together really, really well
00:43:16And you delivered that song in your own way
00:43:18Thank you!
00:43:20When you walked out, Bella
00:43:22The first thing I said was
00:43:24Very cool vibe
00:43:27Thanks!
00:43:27And when you finished singing, Bella
00:43:29I said
00:43:30Very cool vibe
00:43:32Idol universe has been waiting on you
00:43:34Thank you so much
00:43:35You are scholarship material, my dear
00:43:38And all I can say is
00:43:39If you're going to hold that one time around
00:43:41Let's see some more
00:43:42It's a yes for me this way
00:43:43Thank you!
00:43:44I too would like to hear more of Bella
00:43:47So it is a big ol' yes for me
00:43:49Bella, it's a hella yella
00:43:53Thank you!
00:43:54It's a yes!
00:43:55I love that!
00:43:57Congrats!
00:43:58Thank you so much!
00:43:59Welcome to Hollywood Week!
00:44:00I am pumped!
00:44:06Now, for someone who doesn't do that
00:44:07How'd you just do that?
00:44:09You know? I don't know!
00:44:10Alright!
00:44:12This is completely and utterly
00:44:14Outside of my comfort zone
00:44:16She just laid back and put that out there
00:44:18I love that
00:44:20I'm sure it will get even harder
00:44:22But I feel a little bit more like I can do this
00:44:24Like this is an actual possibility for me
00:44:26She was great
00:44:36Let's do this
00:44:37All gas, no brakes
00:44:39All gas, no brakes
00:44:41All gas, no brakes
00:44:44Let's do it!
00:44:46Shoulders back, head up, squeeze your butt and smile
00:44:49Family pose, in the mirror
00:44:50One, two, three
00:44:51Prime time
00:44:54How are you going to react if you get a photo ticket?
00:44:56I'll lose my mind
00:44:57I'm a jumper drawer
00:44:58Probably do a toe touch
00:44:59Probably pick my mom up or something
00:45:01I like your enthusiasm
00:45:02Your energy
00:45:03Thank you
00:45:03You always had that?
00:45:04Yes, sir
00:45:05I try my best, you know
00:45:06Look up life with optimism
00:45:07Good, yes
00:45:09If you're having a bad day
00:45:10Here's your guy
00:45:11Yeah
00:45:11Right here

00:45:39Sometimes five
00:45:40A week on a really busy week
00:45:42When did you start playing?
00:45:44I started playing guitar
00:45:45In second grade
00:45:46I've been singing since I can remember
00:45:47My mom couldn't get me to be quiet
00:45:49I need my hearing aid on
00:45:53You won't in a minute
00:45:54Because you know he's loud
00:45:55My mom grew me up on Temptations
00:45:59Lionel Richie
00:46:00Sammy Davis Jr.
00:46:01It's so funny
00:46:02I mean, I know Sammy's son
00:46:04Oh, really?
00:46:05And you could be the clone
00:46:07That is crazy
00:46:08Very cool

00:51:05Of being a singer
00:51:08And then you know

00:51:14Yeah I just
00:51:16Stopped singing

00:51:24Do something for yourself

00:52:13In my life
00:52:13Wow
00:52:15You know you're going

00:52:27Very good
00:52:28Alright
00:52:30Alright
00:52:31Here we go
00:52:38All I wanted
00:52:40Was to be a hostage
00:52:43For you to tie me up
00:52:46And never let me leave
00:52:50If we're honest
00:52:52It took the longest
00:52:55Time for you to even notice
00:52:58I was here
00:53:00You said you'd take me places
00:53:04Then you kept me waiting
00:53:07How the hell could I be so wrong?
00:53:13But now I'm feeling dated
00:53:15I thought I was your favorite
00:53:18I believed in you for so long
00:53:22Maybe this time
00:53:26You hurt like I do
00:53:28You won't get no sympathy
00:53:31Cause I got none from you
00:53:34Couldn't make up your mind
00:53:37Mine's not confused
00:53:40Nothing left in me
00:53:42The one to leave a space for you
00:53:46Cause I'm not yours
00:53:49It's not the same
00:53:51As it was before
00:53:55Don't fantasize
00:53:56Don't fantasize
00:53:57When you picture me
00:53:57When you close your eyes
00:53:59And I'm in your dreams
00:54:00Don't matter to her
00:54:02Don't matter to me
00:54:03Think I care
00:54:05I know
00:54:05Maybe this time
00:54:08You hurt like I do
00:54:10You won't get no sympathy
00:54:13You won't get no sympathy
00:54:14Cause I got none from you
00:54:16Couldn't make up your mind
00:54:19Mine's not confused
00:54:21Nothing left in me
00:54:24The one to leave a space for you
00:54:27So maybe this time
00:54:30Maybe this time
00:54:34Maybe this time
00:54:36You'll feel like I do
00:54:38It all feels so good
00:54:44When it's your turning blue
00:54:54Oh, yeah
00:54:56He's standing
00:54:58I have a lot of emotions today
00:55:01So I was fighting through that one
00:55:02Yeah
00:55:02It's hard to find people
00:55:05With unique, unique sounds
00:55:07And unique qualities
00:55:09You've got something amazing
00:55:11To work with
00:55:11And if I can just hold you in place
00:55:14I'm game
00:55:15You know what I'm saying
00:55:16Don't look over your shoulder
00:55:17Just look in front of you
00:55:19Yeah
00:55:19Okay
00:55:20The possibilities of you
00:55:22Going forward in your life
00:55:23Could be amazing
00:55:25Okay
00:55:25You have a really special voice
00:55:28A lot of times when we get voices
00:55:29With that kind of texture
00:55:31They can't hit the high notes
00:55:33Like you did
00:55:34Oh, thank you
00:55:35When we give you confidence
00:55:37Because we can sense that it's not all there
00:55:40I mean, I really think you can hit notes bigger than you are hitting
00:55:45I can when I'm in my living room
00:55:47Just get ready
00:55:49Just get ready to go for it

01:11:52it
01:11:52when you start going for the higher stuff um a lot of personality in you and your voice as well.
01:12:00I tell people who are trying to get in the business you know it ain't about singing

01:12:52I got something.
01:12:56I'm going into Hollywood week way differently. I'm much more prepared.
01:13:01This one ticket shows me that it's always good to get back up and try again
01:13:06and I'm really proud of myself for it.
01:13:13Well I don't know about you guys but I think we're heading down the right road of
01:13:17a great season. I think we're on to something.
01:13:22Music sends you down different paths and you gotta
01:13:25take the road it takes you down. I don't know what we've just tapped into but
01:13:312026 feels good to me. I think we cover a lot of ground stylistically.
01:13:37Yeah. There's a lot of different voices. We got one more to go but I'm so happy for
01:13:44our blessings. Impressive. Time for the audition you've been waiting for. Let's do it. Let's go.
01:13:49Okay buddy. Good luck. Appreciate you. They're closing us out Luke.
01:13:53All right Lukey. Closing it out. Bring it home.
01:13:56Dang this is so sick. I love this. Hello. This is crazy.
01:14:00So you're the last audition. That's crazy. That's crazy.
01:14:04That's crazy. You guys look majestic.
01:14:07Majestic? Yeah. Well thanks. Your hair is majestic.
01:14:11Thank you. There's a lot going on but. I don't know if we've seen better hair right?
01:14:14It's pretty awesome. All right. Tell us who you are and where you're from.
01:14:18Yeah. My name is Chris Tungseth. I'm 27 years old and I'm from Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
01:14:22And what do you do up in Minnesota for work?
01:14:25Right now I've been roofing houses. Quickest work in a small town is usually construction.
01:14:29Tell me a little bit about why he's here and what this audition means to Chris.
01:14:34Yeah. I mean music's always been a part of our family. We've grew up watching American Idol
01:14:40and he's really turned to music kind of as his way of getting his feelings off his chest.
01:14:46Tell us about growing up, your home life.
01:14:49Yeah. I just feel so fortunate. Like I'm so blessed. I've been given the greatest family in the world.
01:15:00Yeah. You can look in a rose. Just any rose. Except that it's perfect.
01:15:10Growing up in Minnesota is the best. Like my childhood was so fun and so simple.
01:15:15My dad, he studied opera and he was an opera singer and then became a pastor and a worship leader.
01:15:21And my mom was a pianist. My siblings, we'd sing every holiday at church.
01:15:27Everything that we did was like together.
01:15:34But it started to take a turn. When I was 10 years old, my mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
01:15:40Hi.
01:15:41It was pretty aggressive.
01:15:43How are you?
01:15:44I'm good now.
01:15:46Right away, my mom was in and out of the hospital. She was four hours away.
01:15:51My dad would be traveling back and forth trying to take care of her family.
01:15:54He was gravity to us. He's the strongest person I've ever met.
01:15:59He was my best friend. He was my, kind of my foundation, the person I turned to for advice.
01:16:0612 years after my mom's diagnosis, my dad was diagnosed with leukemia.
01:16:15Yeah, that was the worst thing I've ever heard in my life.
01:16:20Like Superman is no longer Superman, you know?
01:16:26My siblings moved home to help me take care of them.
01:16:29I mean, all of us put life on hold, but there was nothing else that we would have done.
01:16:33Like, that was honestly the biggest gift for us to be close to them.
01:16:41So, I'm going to be singing Lonely Road that I wrote for Dad.
01:16:46Love that.
01:16:46I mean, everyone says how much you look like Dad and how much you resemble Dad.
01:16:51Dad now, especially with him being gone, his legacy is now living through you, through your singing.
01:17:03Pops, I wish you were part of this.
01:17:06I wish you were here to see this thing go through,
01:17:11but I'm just going to be me, and I hope they see you through me.
01:17:25I hit the lonely road again
01:17:32I know I missed my turn
01:17:38I'm not the only one that's traveling
01:17:42But I know that I'm far from home
01:17:50I guess I had to learn the hard way
01:17:56I know that you did too
01:18:01How come no one has directions
01:18:05When we've all been down that same route too
01:18:13I still have a million questions
01:18:19Only you got answers to
01:18:25I don't really think that I will care for them
01:18:30When I'm up in heaven with you
01:18:36Press on
01:18:43We're gonna make it through
01:18:56I'm holding on to you
01:19:10I'm holding on to you
01:19:20I love everything about you
01:19:23I love your presence
01:19:25I love how open you are
01:19:28In the way you talk, communicate
01:19:31And the way you sing, communicate
01:19:33You have an incredible voice
01:19:35It's powerful, and it's beautiful
01:19:37It's masculine, and it's soft at the same time
01:19:43You kind of have all the things
01:19:45Just very impressive
01:19:46The gift that you have to work with
01:19:48And the way that you work with it
01:19:50Thank you
01:19:51Part of your singing
01:19:52Is going to be the things you say
01:19:55In between each song
01:19:56Yeah
01:19:56You have a ministry
01:19:58A real strong connection to people
01:20:01Thank you
01:20:02I was so touched by the fact
01:20:04He said, I'm blessed
01:20:05I'm grateful
01:20:07There was a point in my life
01:20:08Where I thought
01:20:09My dad's dying
01:20:11And my life's falling apart
01:20:13There was a little aid
01:20:14Over in the corner
01:20:15Of the hospital
01:20:16And I was talking to my dad
01:20:18He was in and out of a coma
01:20:20He said, you're very lucky
01:20:22And I looked at him and said
01:20:24What are you talking about?
01:20:25I said, he's in a coma
01:20:27And he said
01:20:27I was just thinking
01:20:28I wish I had a dad
01:20:29To love as much as you have
01:20:31Yeah
01:20:32It's a gift to hurt so much
01:20:34You know
01:20:34Because it means that
01:20:35Something was important there
01:20:36So
01:20:36Your ministry is right in place, man
01:20:39Thank you
01:20:40The timing of all this
01:20:42Is the timing of it
01:20:43Right, exactly
01:20:44We're not in control of it
01:20:45I had setbacks in my life
01:20:47That put my music career on hold
01:20:50And I matured
01:20:52And grew up during those years
01:20:53Yeah
01:20:54It's really perfect to me
01:20:56What you're doing
01:20:56I've been in the room
01:20:57With Chris Stapleton
01:20:58A lot of times
01:20:59You've got those little vibes
01:21:00Going on
01:21:01You've got that ability
01:21:02To whisper with soul
01:21:04And turn it up
01:21:06You just got a lot of stuff
01:21:07Going on
01:21:07And don't be afraid
01:21:08To turn them loose
