00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I just, I'm capable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts, Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:14Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44this is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:49front row
00:01:52you should be very proud of how far you've come.
00:01:57but for now, your journey
00:02:02it's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:14So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap, how did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survived the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round,
00:02:30when the judges review all the performances in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:36It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end, and I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week, you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:01Every time it's the light
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing, but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger and when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:25I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:29The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32And now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me, so I can be far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.
00:04:06Please stay where you are.
00:04:11Don't come any closer.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:16Don't try to change my mind.
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind.
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark.
00:04:33It feels like we're oceans apart.
00:04:44There's so much space between us.
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated.
00:04:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:04:58Everything changed me.
00:05:02We're not the only ones.
00:05:05I don't regret a thing.
00:05:07Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean.
00:05:12It is the world to me that you are in my life.
00:05:16I want to live and not survive.
00:05:28That's why I can't love you in the dark.
00:05:38I want to live and not survive.
00:06:08There's so many things I want to say that I was trying to kick you out of the room because
00:06:12I'm so jealous of you.
00:06:13But your first note, Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere.
00:06:18No kidding.
00:06:20And what a pro dynamic of singing.
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life right now to be discovered on this platform.
00:06:29And I'm so excited to see your future.
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result, the spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls, including 29-year-old singer-songwriter
00:06:46Kendall Inskeep.
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage, it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable.
00:06:52So it's such a challenge this week because you only have one shot to really be authentic
00:06:57to who you are.
00:06:59I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church, and we would sing together.
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from is my mom.
00:07:10I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville.
00:07:13I actually came to Belmont.
00:07:14I came here for maybe 60 days.
00:07:17But we are still alumni as if we were here for only 60 days.
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers.
00:07:25The song is a little bit more lively.
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand, so it's not really in my comfort zone.
00:07:32How are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy.
00:07:35You nervous?
00:07:35I get that a little bit.
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity for me to really show I can also be free-spirited
00:07:44and fun and joyful in my performance.
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage.
00:07:51Okay.
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:07:59When the call came down to one
00:08:02Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:06I was broad, but I was kind
00:08:10Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:20Clear your heart
00:08:23Cut the cord
00:08:26Are we here?
00:08:30Or are we dancers?
00:08:47Will your sister be alright?
00:08:48Would you help me down in line?
00:08:49Do you know?
00:08:50Are we dancers?
00:08:55Will your sister be alright?
00:08:58When you held me down a lot
00:09:01There's no message we're receiving
00:09:05Don't you know it's in your heart beating
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Are we dancers?
00:09:18My side is vital
00:09:20My hands are cold
00:09:24And the Almighty is looking for the answer
00:09:31Are we human?
00:09:34Or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we human?
00:09:43Or are we dancers?
00:09:56You got such a cool voice Kendall
00:09:58Thank you so much
00:09:59And I love how at this time you switched it up
00:10:01And you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03That you know it was a lot more energetic
00:10:06And you felt comfortable in both spaces
00:10:08So I think you should be really proud of that
00:10:11Thank you so much
00:10:13I love her, I love her
00:10:15That voice you got, oh my god
00:10:17It's cool and she's comfortable
00:10:18She's so comfortable
00:10:19Oh
00:10:20I can
00:10:21I'm gonna cry
00:10:23Because
00:10:25I'm gonna cry
00:10:26Because
00:10:27I just like was so nervous going on
00:10:30I'm very happy
00:10:31With the way that that just went
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall
00:10:36And Jessie to see if they've done enough
00:10:38To survive the first round of cuts
00:10:41Would the following people please step forward?
00:10:45Jessie
00:10:47Kendall
00:10:50You are still in the running to become the next American Idol
00:10:58Oh
00:10:59Oh
00:11:00Oh
00:11:01Oh
00:11:03Tonight has just been
00:11:04The best night of my life
00:11:06So proud of you man
00:11:08I just can't believe it
00:11:10I'm so excited
00:11:11I am so excited
00:11:13And I'm so grateful that this just happened right now
00:11:20Tonight
00:11:21The Hollywood Week Music City Takeover comes to a close
00:11:25Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:11:27It'll be anything but easy to get there
00:11:30Everyone's fighting for their lives in here
00:11:31I'm just not sure that was the right song
00:11:33Bring it on!
00:11:35I love it!
00:11:36Your booze are feeding me
00:11:38Stay tuned to see more of your favorites
00:11:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:11:45If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that
00:11:48And by the end of the night, your top 30 will be revealed
00:11:52We got more bloodshed coming
00:11:54We have some sing-offs
00:12:01Carrie, how is Hollywood Week in Music City going?
00:12:04Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting and it's drama and it's stressful
00:12:09It's very difficult because we gotta get rid of so many wonderful kids
00:12:13But I'm telling you, we're finding stars
00:12:15Stars
00:12:16Are you guys ready?
00:12:18Everyone out here is mind-blowing
00:12:20So my nerves are definitely, definitely up now
00:12:24I never would have thought I'd be right here ever
00:12:27It's just kind of a dream that I don't realize that I'm living
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity for me
00:12:32Coming to the stage, here's Cutter Bradley!
00:12:36I've moved away from home to do this dream
00:12:38Kind of left everything behind
00:12:40And so I want to stay really bad
00:12:49I woke up in my booze this morning
00:12:54I fell asleep in my booze last night
00:12:58I had a feeling that I'd run out of my hands
00:13:03Well, girl, I couldn't have been more around
00:13:09I woke up in my booze this morning
00:13:13I fell asleep in my booze last night
00:13:17And I knew I wouldn't have to take the time putting them back on when I'm sober
00:13:21Yeah, I knew you'd be pissed off over me
00:13:24And I'd just be hung on a window
00:13:28And I didn't need to take them off, no
00:13:31And I woke up in my booze this morning
00:13:41Thank you, thank you
00:13:42I feel like you've got, like, a solid voice
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range
00:13:47You were like a lion, like, pacing back and forth
00:13:50Like, getting ready to, like, bust out of the cage
00:13:53Easy, easy, easy, easy
00:13:55Slow down, slow down, slow down
00:13:56Slow down, slow down
00:13:56It was good, it was good
00:13:57Thank you
00:13:59Thank you all
00:14:02This microphone is revealing a lot of singers now
00:14:10So happy to be here
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalil Almanzan
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas
00:14:14I'm gonna be singing
00:14:16I'm gonna be singing
00:14:17I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt
00:14:19Good song
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol
00:14:21Because I want to show that your story
00:14:24Your pain
00:14:25Can be used to be your greatest power
00:14:27Absolutely
00:14:32Well, I feel really, really lucky to be here
00:14:35In Hollywood Week
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here
00:14:38Welcome back
00:14:40Thank you
00:14:41Last year I wasn't able to experience this round
00:14:45Because of my mental health
00:14:47You were born enough
00:14:49You were born enough
00:14:50I feel proud of myself
00:14:52For making it here
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing
00:14:56A lot of learning
00:14:56And so, this year
00:14:58I'm definitely feeling
00:14:59Much more well prepared and confident
00:15:02But I'm always nervous
00:15:04I mean, why wouldn't you be nervous
00:15:05In Hollywood Week?
00:15:08Up until this point
00:15:09I've only performed my own songs
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking about this first cover for us
00:15:14I'm really pushing myself with this one
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection
00:15:18To bring out emotion for a song that you're covering
00:15:24It demands more of me
00:15:25So, the pressure's on
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking just thinking about it, honestly
00:15:31But I just thought, you know
00:15:32I'd regret it if I showed up to Hollywood Week
00:15:35And I didn't push myself
00:15:37Turn down the light
00:15:41Turn down the bed
00:15:45Turn down these voices
00:15:49Inside my head
00:15:53Lay down with me
00:15:56Tell me no lies
00:15:59Just hold me close
00:16:03Don't patronize
00:16:07Don't patronize
00:16:09Don't patronize me
00:16:15Cause I can make you love me
00:16:20If you don't
00:16:23You can make your heart feel
00:16:28Something in the dark
00:16:32Here in the dark
00:16:35In these final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:42And I'll feel the power
00:16:46But you won't
00:16:49No, you won't
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me
00:17:01If you don't
00:17:04If you don't
00:17:09If you don't
00:17:12If you don't
00:17:23If you don't
00:17:25If you don't
00:17:26If you don't
00:17:29If you don't
00:17:34If you don't
00:17:34If you don't
00:17:34If you don't
00:17:34If you don't
00:17:35If you don't
00:17:36I'll keep it together up here
00:17:38My favorite part about that
00:17:40Is when you hit your first note
00:17:41The crowd screams
00:17:43You smile
00:17:44And your smile was so big
00:17:46You almost couldn't sing the next line
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future and
00:17:54That was the first of many great experiences for you, and we're just glad we get to watch
00:18:14I feel like every time I go on stage
00:18:18I still struggle with that self-doubt and I just get proven wrong every single time
00:18:22And it's really starting to feel like a blessing and I'm not ready to go home. Not at all. Why
00:18:28am I so nervous?
00:18:29I know right not easy cutter
00:18:36Julian
00:18:39You are still chasing that American Idol dream
00:18:51Is it a whirlwind for you it's more than a whirlwind it's magic it's actual magic
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life
00:19:02Welcome back to American Idol where professor carries Hollywood week lessons have some students turning against her
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song
00:19:14They just like to do me there were notes that were just like
00:19:18Awesome, and then I was hearing some that I was like what's happening right now, so I'm kind of like
00:19:25I'm it
00:19:27I heard it too I heard it too
00:19:29I'm just not sure that was the right song she only won this she knows
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion
00:19:39But Mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass
00:19:42It was a little shaky to start I think make sure you do songs that really showcase that grit that
00:19:48you have
00:19:48Thank you so much
00:19:49Thank you so much
00:19:51Why don't they boo you?
00:19:54You know I'm trying to get booed
00:19:55Ask them
00:19:56You're not gonna boo him?
00:19:58You're not gonna boo Luke?
00:20:04I'm getting used to it getting used to it
00:20:08Hoping to get on Kerry's good side by living up to his name
00:20:14Is 24 year old true the star
00:20:19My first audition that's on the ballot so I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much
00:20:24as I wanted to
00:20:25And how are you working on it?
00:20:28Just being myself
00:20:29The song I will be singing is Love and Happiness by Al Green
00:20:32It shows my personality and how I like to move around and perform
00:20:37It's more about being true to yourself and being 100%
00:20:40Well go have some fun, be you, and let's get it done
00:20:43Come on y'all!
00:20:49Something's going wrong
00:20:51Someone's on the phone line up
00:20:533 o'clock in the morning
00:20:56Yeah, yeah
00:20:58Talking about
00:21:01How she can make it right
00:21:03You better know what I'm talking about
00:21:04All I have to say is
00:21:07Love and happiness
00:21:10Wait a minute
00:21:10Make you do right
00:21:13Yeah
00:21:15Love can make you do wrong
00:21:18Yeah
00:21:19More for love I say
00:21:21Woo
00:21:23All right
00:21:24All I have to say
00:21:26Love and happiness
00:21:29Come on!
00:21:32Love and happiness
00:21:37Love and happiness
00:21:39Love and happiness
00:21:49Love and happiness
00:21:53Millennials
00:21:54Halloween
00:21:59Alright
00:22:06Well, your name is Drew the Star
00:22:09Yes, In ะฟะพั
ะพะถ
00:22:10And you get a band
00:22:11and then you start getting choreography and swagger.
00:22:17But the song didn't necessarily show everybody
00:22:20how great and dynamic your voice is,
00:22:22but it showed us how dynamic you are as an artist.
00:22:28Keep being yourself.
00:22:29Yeah.
00:22:33Adrenaline hits pumping right now.
00:22:35Got a lot of breath.
00:22:37But it was good.
00:22:38The song just kind of...
00:22:40No, it's wrong song.
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:43While True waits to see if his authenticity
00:22:45keeps him at the top of the class,
00:22:47the pressure is on for Sheldon, who hopes to do the same.
00:22:51The new thing I've discovered about Idol is that
00:22:54it's really stripping me right back to basics.
00:22:57I've done a lot of TV shows and I've always completely covered up in a mask
00:23:00and it's avant-garde.
00:23:02There's crystals and diamonds, sequins, big gowns, big dresses.
00:23:05This is the most stripped-back, vulnerable version of myself ever.
00:23:18It's the first time I'm singing Good Luck Babe by Chapel Ryan.
00:23:40I know what you're doing up there.
00:23:42Beating myself up a little bit over it.
00:23:43Maybe it's because I don't have everything on.
00:23:46Maybe it's because I'm doing something completely different,
00:23:48but I've come a long way.
00:23:50This is like the side of me that I've kept away from a lot of people.
00:23:55I've got a lot on the line here.
00:24:10It's fine, it's cool, you can say that you are nothing, but you know the truth.
00:24:19And guess I'm the fool with your arms out like an angel through the car, son.
00:24:29I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:34You only want to be the one that I call, baby.
00:24:42You could kiss a hundred boys in bars, shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling.
00:24:56You could say it's just the way you are, make a new excuse, now the stupid reason.
00:25:06Good luck, oh good luck, you have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.
00:25:19You have to stop the world just to stop the feeling, you have to stop the world just to stop
00:25:34the feeling.
00:25:49Thank you very much.
00:25:50Wow, all right.
00:25:53Welcome to America.
00:25:54Thank you so much.
00:25:55It's an honor to be here, really.
00:25:57It's hard to believe that you spent most of your career behind a mask.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Now you are revealing not only your face, but your amazing talent and your voice, amazing talent.
00:26:13Um, this could be your home.
00:26:18I would love to be here.
00:26:20Congratulations, man.
00:26:21Thank you, everyone.
00:26:26Just the most nervous thing ever.
00:26:28I mean, I've done this a lot of times, and of all the shows I've been on, this is the
00:26:30biggest cut I've ever seen.
00:26:35If I call your name, step forward, please.
00:26:41Sheldon.
00:26:42Can't read your mind tomorrow time, but I don't want to live without it.
00:26:48You're going through, you're going to have to sweat it out in the golden room for a little longer.
00:26:52Say it to me louder.
00:26:58True, say it to me louder.
00:27:01You'll be joining them all, sir.
00:27:13My heart's going crazy.
00:27:15American Idol have the best of the best, and I wanted to compete with the best of the best.
00:27:19I feel like this is destiny.
00:27:21This is all made to be.
00:27:22We ain't done yet.
00:27:23There's more.
00:27:23There's more to come.
00:27:24Let's keep going until the wheels fall off.
00:27:30Audience on your feet.
00:27:32Make some noise for Jason.
00:27:35Back in our city auditions, Jason's team helped him knock it out of the park.
00:27:40I'm here with the Texas Tailgaters, which is entertainment baseball.
00:27:44Ow.
00:27:44I got into it, actually, as a singer.
00:27:46Going forward, it's just taking this part of you seriously.
00:27:51And now, in Hollywood Week, he must prove himself on his own.
00:27:55If you're calling about my heart, it's still yours.
00:27:59I should have listened to it a little more.
00:28:03On those choruses, make sure you enunciate through them on those big notes.
00:28:08The devil's in the details.
00:28:10And I still love you.
00:28:17Jason, this is the end of your American Idol journey.
00:28:20I think my buddies would be more than proud of me.
00:28:23I gave everything I had.
00:28:25That's all I can do.
00:28:26And for so many others, giving their all still had them coming up short.
00:28:31Matty.
00:28:33Kitty.
00:28:35Landon.
00:28:36This is the end of the road.
00:28:38Thank you very much.
00:28:39I might have just not really been as, like, prepared as I would have liked to be.
00:28:45I've never really sung on a stage by myself before.
00:28:48I think I gave great rocks to our lives, but maybe I didn't.
00:28:51My body language didn't say it.
00:28:53You know, I tried my hardest, but it wasn't enough.
00:28:57But someday you'll be gone.
00:29:01And I used to fear nothing at all.
00:29:06But for Julianne, she ends her journey with a risk that didn't pay off, performing her original song.
00:29:13And I'm close to the end.
00:29:14Julianne, I am sorry to tell you that your American Idol journey ends right now.
00:29:21Take me up, help me stand.
00:29:23Even though my journey with American Idol is over, it's been such a great experience.
00:29:28I'm gonna keep writing music, and this has inspired me, and I hope that my song could inspire other people.
00:29:35I wanna die while I'm dancing.
00:29:39I hope everybody back there can hear me.
00:29:41I hope all of the contestants can hear me.
00:29:43When the stars align for you guys, when you're on a stage like this,
00:29:47is when you sing a song that somebody's just been waiting to hear.
00:29:52A song that somebody loves, and you crush it.
00:29:55Make some noise here, 22-year-old, Moore!
00:30:03What's up, everybody?
00:30:04I'm Moore.
00:30:06I'm gonna be singing an original for you guys today.
00:30:10I'm definitely taking a risk.
00:30:11It's a risk that paid off for Moore in the past.
00:30:14I'm a songwriter at heart, and my audition was nothing short of a blessing.
00:30:22Taken from me years ago, someone I never got to know.
00:30:28I was able to sing my original song, and that meant a lot to me.
00:30:32That writing was very cool.
00:30:34Thank you so much.
00:30:35Very, very cool.
00:30:35That means the world to me.
00:30:36I feel like I've got a story to tell that can impact and heal people, because music has healed me.
00:30:40There's definitely moments where I have doubts whether this is the right choice or not.
00:30:44Head on up.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:45Especially a song that you wrote that no one knows.
00:30:47He's no band?
00:30:48No band.
00:30:48It's original.
00:30:49It puts a lot of weight on the performance itself.
00:30:53This song's called How to Love You.
00:30:55How to Love You.
00:31:01I thought I knew what I was doing when I met you.
00:31:10I thought I knew where I was headed.
00:31:14We were here today.
00:31:19You're saying words, but they won't reach my head.
00:31:29Can't fix it now, when you're already picturing the end.
00:31:39And I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:48Oh, I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:56Makes good, though.
00:31:57Oh, and I can't go on without you.
00:32:07And I'm wondering when I'll find you, will I find myself.
00:32:17Because I'm lost on how to love you.
00:32:30I'm lost on how to love you.
00:32:30You're gonna boo me.
00:32:31Thank you guys so much.
00:32:33Oh, my gosh.
00:32:34I feel you guys are gonna boo me.
00:32:37You're gonna boo me.
00:32:39It's coming.
00:32:40Just bring it on.
00:32:41I love it.
00:32:44Your boos are feeding me.
00:32:48In a room like this, for you to bring an original song
00:32:51with that incredible band sitting behind you, like, twiddling their thumbs,
00:32:55I feel like it was just a missed opportunity.
00:32:58And I love your voice.
00:33:01I love you.
00:33:02I understand.
00:33:02I understand.
00:33:03Thank you, though.
00:33:04But I loved, like, being in an intimate room with you like that
00:33:09and listening to, you know, you tell your story.
00:33:13Um, I feel like you took a risk here.
00:33:15And, uh, it paid off.
00:33:25I don't regret my decision.
00:33:27I love being able to do that song for all those people.
00:33:29That's what we want.
00:33:30Give me more of that.
00:33:32More.
00:33:33Please step forward.
00:33:36You are going to the golden room.
00:33:39Your journey with us continues.
00:33:42Let's go, baby.
00:33:43I'm in the consideration for Top 30.
00:33:45The fact that I have made it this far with original music,
00:33:48it just gives me the confidence to know that this is what I want to do for the rest of
00:33:52my life.
00:33:57I'm just so grateful to friggin' be here.
00:34:04Back on Idle, where the ladies of Hollywood Week are stealin' the show.
00:34:30We're so glad to have you back in our presence, and you are singing your butt off.
00:34:36Congratulations.
00:34:40Talk to me to spend my time.
00:34:45I give you yours, so give me my heart.
00:35:05You are really, really one of our dynamic singers in this competition.
00:35:10Thank you so much.
00:35:13Up next is Rae, who wowed the judges in auditions with her dad by her side.
00:35:19You make me feel, you make me feel like a natural woman.
00:35:32What does it mean for you to be here right now, to finally be here?
00:35:35My dad actually suffered from a stroke a year ago, a severe one.
00:35:41I almost lost him, and he's here with me right now.
00:35:45Oh, so great.
00:35:48After an emotional audition, how have you gotten ready for today?
00:35:51Are you ready with this song?
00:35:52Have you rehearsed it enough?
00:35:53How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay, wasn't the best.
00:36:01I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes, so like when you didn't hit the note,
00:36:06you're wearing it on your face.
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:08I'm like really in my head right now.
00:36:12I'm just worried about my dad because this trip has been really hard on him.
00:36:16Like he can't like sit in one spot for too long, and he just gets like really tired,
00:36:22and I just want to make him proud.
00:36:24I want to make it worth his while.
00:36:27Here's 24-year-old Rae!
00:36:40Stone cold, stone cold, you see me standing but I'm dying on the floor.
00:36:52Stone cold, stone cold, maybe if I don't cry I won't feel any more.
00:37:05Stone cold, maybe God knows I tried to be him.
00:37:15Happy for you know that I am even if I can't understand.
00:37:29If I'm being tired, then I'm happy for you.
00:37:40I wish I could be this boy is my good boy.
00:37:50Oh, I'm happy for you know that I am even if I can't understand.
00:38:04Yeah, you're happy for you know that I'm happy for you,
00:38:31I wish I could be this boy.
00:38:34Wow.
00:38:36Goodness.
00:38:39That.
00:38:41That was just exceptional.
00:38:44That was just.
00:38:47If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:38:55Incredible.
00:38:56And with that, tough decisions must be made.
00:39:00Yes, for now.
00:39:01She did surprise me.
00:39:03She came just presents it so well.
00:39:06By the end of today, we will have gone from 127 to 30.
00:39:16I hope you all know how difficult this decision has been.
00:39:21That said, Ruby.
00:39:25Ray.
00:39:26Mary Jo.
00:39:28Please don't take this as a no.
00:39:36Because it is not, you're still in the mix.
00:39:39You all should be so proud of yourselves.
00:39:42You've done such an amazing job.
00:39:45I can't believe I've made it through.
00:39:48I'm really, I don't know.
00:39:49I'm just, whoa, so many emotions.
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30, so I'm very anxious.
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude.
00:40:05I feel so much gratitude.
00:40:05It's just speaking more life into me.
00:40:07I feel sorry.
00:40:11Hollywood Week is the ultimate test.
00:40:15I can do more and push myself more.
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you.
00:40:22Vocally, you have to stay on point when it matters most.
00:40:25Hollywood Week has been insane.
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up.
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key.
00:40:34Welcome back to American Idol, where inside the theater,
00:40:38our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chance at this year's Top 30.
00:40:42He brings it down to his knees.
00:40:49God, I've been broken more than a dime or two.
00:40:53Yes, Lord, but then you picked me up and showed me what it means to be a man.
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all-American boy just getting up there,
00:41:04singing your heart, and we will see if that was enough.
00:41:07But meanwhile, in the Golden Room,
00:41:09the hopefuls who have survived the first cut wait.
00:41:12With their fate in the Top 30 not established.
00:41:15I still could go home.
00:41:17I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety.
00:41:20Yeah, it's a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go.
00:41:23When the talent's that good.
00:41:24I think I'm nervous for them.
00:41:27Every time you hear, like, the audience,
00:41:29a little part of me is like, like, you throw up.
00:41:32Here, Jenny, six-year-old, Jenny Heath, hey, roll.
00:41:36Pickle girl.
00:41:38You remember Pickle girl, Lana?
00:41:39I love pickles.
00:41:41Who doesn't?
00:41:45You're going to still yet have to push even more with some of the singers we have.
00:41:50For this performance, they're going to see me bring, like,
00:41:53a little more of whatever they were looking for,
00:41:55especially with the band.
00:41:56Like, once that band started, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm ready.
00:41:59I got this.
00:41:59One, two.
00:42:00I'm a dude.
00:42:01Come on, girl.
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts?
00:42:03No one's admitting that they're nervous, and it's pissing me off.
00:42:06You are nervous, and I'm nervous.
00:42:08I'm admitting that.
00:42:09Just admit that you're nervous.
00:42:13All of these lines across my face
00:42:18Tell you the stories of who I am
00:42:22So many stories of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got you where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:37When you've got no one to tell them
00:42:42Tell it's true
00:42:45I was made for real
00:42:51I climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:56Swim across the ocean
00:43:00I climbed across all the lines
00:43:03And I broke all through
00:43:05Maybe I broke them all for you
00:43:10Oh, because even when I went flat through
00:43:15You made me feel like a man
00:43:22I was made for you
00:43:26I was made for you
00:43:29Oh, yes, and it's true
00:43:31That I was made for you
00:43:36I was made for you
00:43:37Oh, yes, and it's true
00:43:44I was made for you
00:43:46I was made for you
00:43:46Love her!
00:43:48I was made for you
00:43:49I was made for you
00:43:51I was made for you
00:43:51I was made for you
00:44:02Thank you so much
00:44:06Thank you
00:44:08Oh, my God, I was so cool
00:44:11They stood up
00:44:12Let's go
00:44:13Her voice is like
00:44:14Oh, she's got that rock
00:44:16Kind of thing at the top
00:44:18She was clear
00:44:19She was good
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit
00:44:21I feel really good about that
00:44:22And my nail just popped off
00:44:24Perfect timing
00:44:25Okay
00:44:29Next, and hoping her dreams will take flight
00:44:31Is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird
00:44:33From the quad to Hollywood week
00:44:36Just like that
00:44:37It's gone so fast
00:44:38Thank you
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:40Uh, yes, yes, I would love to
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do, but, like, this is more important than me
00:44:46A week ago, if you told me I was doing American Idol
00:44:48I wouldn't have believed you
00:44:49Because I didn't even know I was auditioning
00:44:51But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing
00:44:57You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist
00:45:02And a performer
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them
00:45:05Where I have some more preparation
00:45:06Than my audition with them initially
00:45:08Now I'm here
00:45:10To remind you
00:45:13Of the mess you left
00:45:15When you went away
00:45:17It's not fair
00:45:19To deny me
00:45:21Of the cross I bear
00:45:24That you gave to me
00:45:26Girl, you, you
00:45:28I don't know
00:45:33Of the mess
00:45:34That you left
00:45:35When you went away
00:45:37It's not fair
00:45:39To deny me
00:45:42Of the cross I bear
00:45:44That you gave to me
00:45:46Girl, you, you
00:45:48I don't know
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers
00:45:57So I'm just glad that I went out there
00:45:59And did my best
00:46:00Way to own your moment
00:46:02Just remember
00:46:03Make sure you land the vocals all the way
00:46:05But you should be very, very proud
00:46:07Good job
00:46:15As the night goes on
00:46:16The judges are feeling the weight
00:46:18Of some tough decisions
00:46:21I, I, I
00:46:23Thread the band-aid off
00:46:29Genevieve
00:46:32And Jason
00:46:37You're still in the mix
00:46:40Jackie
00:46:40You're not going through
00:46:45The fact that I made it this far
00:46:46I'm really grateful
00:46:48And
00:46:48Yeah, I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me in the top 30
00:46:57Because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned
00:47:03As more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable
00:47:09In years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:13Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard
00:47:17There are people that are really good
00:47:19That we are having to send home
00:47:21We got more bloodshed coming
00:47:23We have some singles
00:47:27Welcome back to Idol
00:47:29Where the night's final group of hopefuls
00:47:31Are taking the stage
00:47:34Feeling nervous, aren't you bored
00:47:39With your quiet voice
00:47:41Wow
00:47:42An impeccable style
00:47:46You let them look
00:47:49While they can
00:47:52You let them spin
00:47:57You let them scatter
00:47:59Going
00:48:02And into the morning
00:48:06Of the morning
00:48:12The job's done
00:48:18Then
00:48:25I'm seeing authenticity
00:48:27I'm seeing style
00:48:29I'm seeing uniqueness
00:48:30And that's what it takes to do well
00:48:32In this competition
00:48:34That was solid
00:48:35Solid
00:48:37Up next
00:48:38And here to inspire others
00:48:40Is Mississippi voice teacher
00:48:42Daniel Stallworth
00:48:44Music City
00:48:46What's up Nashville
00:48:48To make the top 30
00:48:49It would mean a lot to me
00:48:50It would help me keep pushing the narrative
00:48:52To never stop believing
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students
00:48:55To let them know
00:48:56That you can reach your goals
00:48:57Never give up
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you
00:49:00That's exactly right
00:49:01I didn't really expect them
00:49:03To react the way that they did
00:49:04It made me feel like
00:49:05Yes, I can believe that I'm a star
00:49:07Alright, make sure you can hear yourself
00:49:09Down there
00:49:09Check those wages out
00:49:10And then we'll go
00:49:10On Hollywood week
00:49:11I'm going to perform
00:49:12Stand By Me
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage
00:49:20This big
00:49:21Going straight in
00:49:22Diving in head first
00:49:24I'm going to definitely
00:49:25Keep the energy
00:49:26And sing
00:49:27Like I'll never sing again
00:49:29Y'all clap your hands
00:49:30Come on
00:49:31When the night has come
00:49:37And the land is dark
00:49:40And the moon is the only light we'll see
00:49:48No, I won't be afraid
00:49:52No, I won't be afraid
00:49:56Just as long as you stand
00:50:00Stand by me
00:50:04Give the sky
00:50:07The wheel of the park
00:50:10Should tumble and fall
00:50:14For the mountains
00:50:16Should crumble
00:50:17In the sea
00:50:19Darling, darling
00:50:22Stand by me
00:50:25Oh, stand by me
00:50:30Stand, stand by me
00:50:36Whenever you're in trouble
00:50:39Stand, stand by me
00:51:07To take a song that we've heard so many times
00:51:10And to just take it to the raptors of this place
00:51:14You're a truly special person
00:51:16Way to go, man
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by
00:51:23For results
00:51:24Brooks hopes he can do enough to stand out
00:51:27I've never performed on a stage
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family
00:51:33So I'm very excited
00:51:35But I'm also still very nervous
00:51:38I come from a musical family
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicist
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life
00:51:44But I just never took it seriously
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me
00:51:51I had trouble making friends
00:51:52I was very shy
00:51:54Awkward
00:51:57I started playing soccer
00:51:59Around age six
00:52:00That kind of led to making friends
00:52:03And from that point on
00:52:05Soccer was my life
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro
00:52:09To see my last name on my back
00:52:11With a number that I liked
00:52:14My freshman year of high school
00:52:16Halfway through the soccer season
00:52:19I went for a free kick
00:52:23And I planted my left foot to kick it
00:52:26And I felt like a gear switch
00:52:27In my lower left back
00:52:29And I couldn't feel my legs
00:52:30I snapped my back in half
00:52:34And that changed everything
00:52:37It was hard for him to
00:52:39Not be able to engage in what he loved
00:52:41And be around the other boys
00:52:43And be a part of things
00:52:45I was lost for a long time
00:52:47And then I picked up a guitar
00:52:48And I didn't want to put it down
00:52:52You haven't played out much
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much
00:52:56Well stop doing that
00:53:00I just want to hear more
00:53:02I've never been willing to take
00:53:03Chances and opportunities
00:53:05But this holds the future that I want
00:53:09Alright, let's see what they think about him
00:53:11Alright, here we go
00:53:32I will find myself walking down the road
00:53:38All alone
00:53:40Just like a rolling stone
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul
00:53:52And it grows
00:53:54And it grows
00:53:55Just like an ocean wave
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way
00:54:06And it keeps on pouring down
00:54:09Tears of pain
00:54:13Well this wind stirs up hurricane
00:54:20And it keeps on pouring down
00:54:23Tears of pain
00:54:28Cause I am lost amongst these
00:54:32North country stars
00:54:34Where you find me
00:54:36And lead me on hold
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins
00:54:48Is the hurt that I've had since I left of you
00:54:55There's this pain that is burning in my veins
00:55:01There's this pain that is burning in my veins
00:55:02And it keeps on pouring down
00:55:05And it keeps on pouring down
00:55:06Tears of pain
00:55:08Well this wind stirs up hurricane
00:55:15And I'll keep on drowning
00:55:18As long as you're away
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning
00:55:25As long as you're away
00:55:39A voice that will become so recognizable
00:55:44In years to come
00:55:49And to be some of the first ears
00:55:51To ever hear it
00:55:53Is pretty special
00:55:55When you have this unique voice
00:55:58Paired with these songs
00:56:00That are going to happen in your life
00:56:01It's going to be really, really special
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd
00:56:10For the first time?
00:56:11It's great
00:56:11Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah
00:56:14Wow
00:56:15So good
00:56:17Our judges now have to decide
00:56:19Who in this final group of the original
00:56:22127 singers in Hollywood Week
00:56:24Will make it to the Golden Room
00:56:26And the chance to move on
00:56:28To the top 30
00:56:31Bricks
00:56:39You're going through to the next round
00:56:41And I know for us to go
00:56:46We got a liquor
00:56:48Bella
00:56:50Daniel Stallworth
00:56:58You'll be joining them also
00:57:10I just thought a yes
00:57:11That's crazy
00:57:17This moment right here
00:57:18I'm overjoyed
00:57:19I'm overjoyed
00:57:20I mean, I had my doubts
00:57:21But
00:57:23I guess they liked me enough
00:57:24What's up?
00:57:25Woo!
00:57:26That was so good
00:57:27Thank you
00:57:28Thank you so much
00:57:31My fans
00:57:35What are we doing, gang?
00:57:39What's up?
00:57:40Hey
00:57:42What's happening?
00:57:43Give yourselves a round of applause
00:57:44For the great performances out there
00:57:48There are 60 of you here in this room
00:57:50And the judges said
00:57:52Only 30 of you
00:57:53Will go on to that next round
00:57:56Right now
00:57:57They're actually deliberating
00:57:59With the task of having to cut so many hopefuls
00:58:02The judges review the performances
00:58:04To pare it down to just 30
00:58:06It's hard
00:58:07There are people that are really good
00:58:09That we are having to send home
00:58:11Soon you'll be called back into the theater
00:58:14So when you are called back in
00:58:16Just be aware
00:58:18Anything could happen
00:58:19Everyone's fighting for their lives in here
00:58:21It's chaos
00:58:21I've got a massive curveball thrown at us
00:58:24Some of us are going home
00:58:28We got more bloodshed coming
00:58:30We got more decisions to make than we're used to
00:58:33The remaining 60 must now be cut in half again
00:58:38As the judges decide
00:58:40Who will make it through to the top 30?
00:58:44It's so hard having to cut this menu
00:58:46It's a big cut
00:58:47Hopefully we are making the right decisions
00:58:50Well I feel like I'm going to throw up
00:58:52Who knows I might puke
00:58:53I don't know
00:58:55We feel good about it
00:58:56We've got them
00:58:57Yeah we got them
00:58:58I think we do
00:58:58With the judges' decisions made
00:59:00The singers return to the theater
00:59:02To learn their fate
00:59:04It's been a crazy Hollywood week
00:59:06Here in Nashville
00:59:08You've been through a lot
00:59:09We've had to talk out your futures
00:59:12Amongst us three
00:59:13And it's nothing that we take lightly
00:59:18I mean you're all here for reasons
00:59:20Because you're really good
00:59:21And if a couple of you kind of occupied the same space
00:59:25We definitely have to look at that
00:59:28So we have some sing-offs
00:59:31That we're going to ask you to do
00:59:33And I'm going to deliver
00:59:35The first two names
00:59:37Of the sing-offs
00:59:39We never planned it
00:59:41It happened naturally
00:59:42They have the same two last names
00:59:46If your last name is Garner
00:59:50Where's the Garner's?
00:59:53Jason, Michael
00:59:54The two Garner's
00:59:55You're in a sing-off together
00:59:57So we've got a slot
00:59:59One of you will have it
01:00:00You are dismissed
01:00:01So you can go work on your song
01:00:03That you want to sing
01:00:04And y'all are our first sing-offs
01:00:07Garner versus Garner
01:00:12You got this
01:00:13So I get the second sing-off announcement
01:00:17So I look forward to seeing Mary Jo Young
01:00:22And Chloe Lauren
01:00:24All right
01:00:25So it'll be you guys
01:00:26Y'all are in the sing-off
01:00:27All right
01:00:28Go work on your songs
01:00:30Bring your A-game
01:00:32While the sing-off duos leave to prepare
01:00:34The remaining finalists
01:00:36Will now be called up in groups
01:00:39To find out
01:00:39Who has earned their place in the top 30
01:00:43All right

01:01:11Brayden
01:01:13Chris
01:01:14I'm gonna be one of the 30 left standing
01:01:16I mean, it means everything
01:01:18Whatever you do
01:01:20Do not give up on your dreams
01:01:23But I can see
01:01:24Especially the dreams
01:01:26Behind your eyes
01:01:27Of becoming an American Idol
01:01:29Because
01:01:31You're still with us
01:01:33You're in the top 30
01:01:39Congratulations

01:01:53They have me
01:01:53They have me
01:01:53Yeah, I can see you
01:01:55Jacob
01:01:57To be in the top 30
01:01:58You know, that's what's gonna
01:01:59Get me to that next level
01:02:01See ya
01:02:02I mean, that is
01:02:03Everything I could ever dream of
01:02:04Grace
01:02:06It would change my life
01:02:08More
01:02:08I'm a little nervous
01:02:09Because this is the big moment
01:02:10Julia
01:02:12It means everything to me
01:02:15You've already won
01:02:17Because you're here
01:02:19The talent
01:02:20Is in you
01:02:23But it's gonna be
01:02:24The end of the line
01:02:27For this moment
01:02:28Do you think about me
01:02:30When you look at the moon
01:02:33To know that I made it this far
01:02:34I did everything I could
01:02:36I hate to admit
01:02:37I still care about you
01:02:40A little disappointed, but
01:02:42I'll be back
01:02:43Love you, Carrie
01:02:44It's been a long time
01:02:45Since I've heard you speak
01:02:47It was upsetting to hear the no
01:02:49But I know this isn't the end
01:02:50You never saw
01:02:52Who I turned out to be
01:02:54Tiana
01:02:57Jake Thistle
01:02:59Philman Lee
01:03:00Being in the top 30
01:03:02Would change my life
01:03:03I definitely pray
01:03:04That that happens
01:03:07Brooks
01:03:08Daniel Stallworth
01:03:10Cutter
01:03:12Bryant Thomas

01:04:33It's the beginning
01:04:33Whatever you do
01:04:34Is up to you
01:04:36Because
01:04:37You're not going to go through
01:04:39Dreaming that you're
01:04:40Still asleep in my arms
01:04:43We wish you all the luck
01:04:44In the world
01:04:45God bless you
01:04:46I should be a little bit
01:04:49More proud of myself
01:04:50It's just thinking
01:04:51That I had
01:04:51A lot more to give
01:04:53I still feel you here
01:04:55In my skin
01:04:57This wasn't easy
01:04:58For absolutely anyone
01:04:59So
01:05:01It's hard
01:05:05Okay we got one more group

01:05:22That make it
01:05:24Let's just hope
01:05:25Hope and pray

01:05:52Look at this group
01:05:53Of all girls
01:05:55Look down the line
01:05:56At each other
01:05:59Sorry this is so
01:06:00Drawn out and painful
01:06:01But
01:06:05All you girls
01:06:06Are going through
01:06:07To the next round
01:06:08You're in our top 30
01:06:12Girls
01:06:13I feel all of the feelings
01:06:15I'm so excited
01:06:16I'm so ready
01:06:17For this journey
01:06:18Wow
01:06:20Speechless
01:06:21I'm moving on
01:06:23I'm so excited
01:06:24Top 30
01:06:25I'm on top 30
01:06:27It's great news
01:06:28For the 28
01:06:29Who have survived
01:06:30Hollywood week
01:06:31But four hopefuls
01:06:33Remain
01:06:34To fight
01:06:34For the last two spots
01:06:35Of our top 30
01:06:36Well you know
01:06:37You always told me
01:06:38You do well under pressure
01:06:39Remember you told me that
01:06:41Well guess what
01:06:42Your dream has come true
01:06:44When I heard
01:06:45That I was going to be
01:06:46In a single
01:06:46Off my journal
01:06:47And it automatically
01:06:48Shot up
01:06:48And I was like
01:06:49I got this
01:06:49You feel good?
01:06:51Feel confident?
01:06:52No no
01:06:58Welcome back to Hollywood week
01:07:00Got two slots left
01:07:02In the top 30
01:07:04And fighting for one of those slots
01:07:06Are Chloe and Mary Jo
01:07:08Chloe and I became really good friends
01:07:10The last two days
01:07:11Which makes me really sad
01:07:12We're very similar
01:07:14Not only with our tones
01:07:16But also
01:07:17Our synopsis
01:07:18So I'm kind of just like
01:07:20Bang
01:07:21Less familiar with each other
01:07:23Are the two Garners
01:07:25Also vying for a spot
01:07:26In the top 30
01:07:27I'm singing off against
01:07:28Michael Garner
01:07:29I'm Jason Garner
01:07:30Do you know me?
01:07:31I do not know him
01:07:33I do not know him
01:07:34Ironically
01:07:34They also both sang songs
01:07:36By the Red Clay Strays
01:07:37In their auditions
01:07:39Did not expect my night
01:07:40To end like this
01:07:42But Michael's idol journey
01:07:43Has been unexpected
01:07:44From the start
01:07:45We're going to give you a shot
01:07:48What you do with your voice
01:07:50Is definitely beyond 16
01:07:52Like I look at you
01:07:54And I see my son
01:07:56And I would not throw him
01:08:00In the middle of it
01:08:01It's a yes for me
01:08:04Miss Carrie
01:08:05I just want to say
01:08:06I'm going to prove to you
01:08:08That I have what it takes
01:08:09And Michael's continued to grow
01:08:11During Hollywood week
01:08:12You are a 16 year old kid
01:08:14Doing impressive stuff
01:08:15You should be very very proud
01:08:17It's not just about the age
01:08:18It's about what you got inside
01:08:19For fellow high schooler Jason

01:14:15God is so good

01:14:49And I'm like sad because I love Chloe
01:14:52Bring all the water works
01:14:55I do know Mary Jo
01:14:56We became close throughout Hollywood Week
01:14:59She's performed many times

01:15:19The self-doubt has not left Chloe's side

01:15:27I tried to do the best that I could
01:15:30It's almost like she's given up on herself
