00:00:11American Idol is the gold standard in finding talent.
00:00:16How's it going, man?
00:00:17Last season, we got to hear Jamal sing,
00:00:19and then a few months later, he's nominated for a Grammy.
00:00:22And let me bask in your light
00:00:27You know I'll be there
00:00:28That's what we sit in the chair for
00:00:31to hopefully find those next superstars.
00:00:35Jamal Roberts!
00:00:36It just takes one year.
00:00:38Life will change forever.
00:00:42Welcome to the show.
00:00:43Take it all in.
00:00:44Oh my goodness.
00:00:45Wow.
00:00:46I love American Idol.
00:00:47I've watched it since I was a kid.
00:00:48Even this last season, I actually got to meet Jamal Roberts,
00:00:51and he was amazing.
00:00:56Phenomenal singer.
00:00:57I got to see him in concert, and incredible vocalist.
00:00:59Great stage presence.
00:01:01I love him so much.
00:01:02You look like you're pretty excited.
00:01:03I am.
00:01:04I'm very excited.
00:01:05My name is Jordan McCullough.
00:01:07I'm 27, and I'm from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
00:01:09Where'd you grow up performing at?
00:01:11In church.
00:01:12That's where I got my start.
00:01:13I didn't know that any of this was a possibility
00:01:16outside of the choir stand.
00:01:17So just four years old, I was singing in the choir,
00:01:20and yeah, that's where it started.
00:01:22Very cool.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:01:24Well, we're going to bring the choir stand here,
00:01:26and I'm going to sing Goodness of God.
00:01:27Yay!
00:01:28So good.
00:01:29All right.
00:01:36I love you, Lord.
00:01:41Oh, your mercy never failed me.
00:01:46And all my days I've been held in your hand.
00:01:52From the moment that I wake up, until I lay my head, oh,
00:02:03I will sing of the goodness of God.
00:02:11All my life, oh, my life you have been faithful, oh, yes, you have.
00:02:19All my life you have been so, so good, with every breath that I have made, oh, oh, I will
00:02:34sing of the goodness.
00:02:39Yes, thank you, Lord.
00:02:43Yes, thank you, Lord.
00:02:43Your goodness is running after, running after me.
00:02:50Your goodness is running after, running after me.
00:02:57With my life laid out, I'm surrendered now.
00:03:01I give you everything, your goodness is running after, running after me.
00:03:16Woo!
00:03:18Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.
00:03:20Come on.
00:03:21That'll wake you up.
00:03:22Come on.
00:03:23Come on.
00:03:25What you think, Carrie?
00:03:27You were flying up out of that chair, levitating.
00:03:29I was.
00:03:30How can you not?
00:03:32You have been given an incredible gift.
00:03:35Wow.
00:03:36And I love that you use it.
00:03:38I mean, the first two words out of your mouth, it was like, ooh, oh, yeah, okay.
00:03:43I just had chills pretty much the whole time.
00:03:46So, it was really great.
00:03:47Your voice is big enough to fill up any room.
00:03:52Very classic sounding voice.
00:03:54Wow.
00:03:54University has been waiting on you.
00:03:56Oh, my God.
00:03:57I'm telling you, it is one of those moments when we discover your talent.
00:04:03It's mesmerizing to watch you perform because it's not just standing there singing.
00:04:08You actually have stage presence, which is something we can't teach.
00:04:13Wow.
00:04:13It just felt like worship.
00:04:14Like, it didn't feel forced.
00:04:17It just felt like you were in the moment, and we were in the moment with you.
00:04:20It's a big, giant yes from me.
00:04:23No doubt about it.
00:04:24I'm looking forward to all the goosies throughout the rest of it.
00:04:29So, it's a big yes from me.
00:04:31Let's go.
00:04:31It's a yes from me.
00:04:33Congratulations.
00:04:34Thank you guys so much.
00:04:37You're going through the Hollywood week.
00:04:39Get ready.
00:04:40Thank you guys so much.

00:04:44I hope y'all ready to worship with me next time.
00:04:46I'm ready.
00:04:47I'm always ready.
00:04:48What is happening?
00:04:49This is happening right now.
00:04:50This is crazy.
00:04:52Don't let them breathe.
00:04:53Don't let them breathe.
00:04:56It's so great to start off.
00:05:00Great.
00:05:01Big old voice there.
00:05:01Welcome to the class, man.
00:05:04It feels really, really wild to be standing here just like Jamal Roberts did.
00:05:08And I feel like I've kind of passed the torch here.
00:05:10And I'm ready to carry it even further.
00:05:12I'm going to Hollywood week!
00:05:14Woo!
00:05:15Woo!
00:05:17Woo!
00:05:17Woo!
00:05:17Good way to start the day.
00:05:19That was great.
00:05:37I feel like the best class we could shape is going to be very eclectic.
00:05:48It's more spicy.
00:05:50And I, being a lover of rock music, I just want to find that representative.
00:06:01Woo!
00:06:03My name is Noah.
00:06:04These are my friends at Yellow Lavella.
00:06:07And this is the Rock and Roll Wall of Sound.
00:06:10Woo!
00:06:13Rod!
00:06:14How you doing, Rod?
00:06:16My organs are vibrating.
00:06:18What is happening?
00:06:20Judges, in front of you is the greatest rock and roll audition you have seen in American Idol history.
00:06:25I know you like rock and roll, Miss Carrie.
00:06:26Yeah!
00:06:26She loves rock and roll.
00:06:28All right, Ace of Speed's coming in hot, baby!

00:06:46I'm a rollerer for ever!
00:06:50Here we go!

00:06:59Ace of Space!
00:07:00Yeah!
00:07:05I love the idea, too, of having some of those more entertaining people in the mix.
00:07:10You kind of have to give some people a shot.
00:07:12I'm Isaiah Morrow.
00:07:13What kind of music do you play?
00:07:14I'd say rock.
00:07:15Yes!
00:07:16Don't fall away, and lead me to myself, don't fall away, and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my
00:07:30hands again.
00:07:32Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again.
00:07:38and then, oh!

00:07:47Hello, buddy!
00:07:49So much time!

00:08:00My name is Brett Carlisle, and I sing for the band Great White.
00:08:05We expect to rock, and we would like to rock, sir.
00:08:09You didn't even listen.
00:08:12Oh, you should have set me free.
00:08:15Now I'm leaving with the devil.
00:08:19Gonna leave this search for love.
00:08:22I'm leaving with the devil.
00:08:26Leave this house of broken love.
00:08:32If you happen to go through it, bring it.
00:08:35Especially when you rock.
00:08:36I mean, you're going to be the poster child for this.
00:08:38That's the way I like it, baby.
00:08:40I know you want to live forever.
00:08:43Yes.

00:14:02It's insane.
00:14:04Oh, I'm glad she believes in me.
00:14:06I am so ready for this.
00:14:08Oh, you know I've been looking for my rockers.

00:14:12So there's a technique you can do that and it's not.
00:14:15Can you do it that way?
00:14:16Yes, but I've never done such things outside of my car.
00:14:29We're coming around the corner.
00:14:32LaGrange, Georgia.
00:14:33Where are all you folks around here, man?
00:14:35LaGrange.
00:14:36Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
00:14:42That's amazing.
00:14:43Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:46ZZ Top?
00:14:48Really?
00:14:48Isn't that LaGrange?
00:14:49That's LaGrange.
00:14:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:53Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:54Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:54All right.
00:14:55Take a lift.
00:14:56Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:57How are you?
00:14:58Good.
00:14:58How are y'all?
00:14:59Good.
00:15:00Well, you came in so comfortable.
00:15:02Very chill, man.
00:15:03So tell us who you are, where are you from, your age?
00:15:06My name's Philman Lee.
00:15:07I'm from LaGrange, Georgia and I'm 25 years old.
00:15:10Philman, that's right down the street from Tuskegee.
00:15:12Shout out.
00:15:12There you go.
00:15:13What do you do for a living?
00:15:14So right now I'm in insurance sales.
00:15:16I do life insurance.
00:15:17It's all virtual.
00:15:18Talk with people all day long.
00:15:23Hello.
00:15:24Corlin, this is Philman.
00:15:25How are you doing?
00:15:26I'm an insurance broker.
00:15:27I see where you inquired about some life insurance coverage pretty recently.
00:15:34I do insurance now, but that's not the angle.
00:15:40I want to sing every single night if I can.
00:15:42There's a revelation that I might never know.
00:15:47I've been a musician my whole life.
00:15:49All credit, really, to my dad.
00:15:51He toured around with a gospel quartet group, and I was on a tour bus with him ever since I
00:15:56was like four years old.
00:15:57It definitely gave me a hunger.
00:15:59You know, even being a kid, that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.
00:16:02I've been trying all this time.
00:16:04I got into music after I dropped out of college, and I eventually ended up signing with a major label.
00:16:09Still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:12I was able to record a lot, and it looked like it was going to be pretty promising.
00:16:17And then when COVID hit, it just kind of plateaued, and I got shelved.
00:16:21You know, I obviously wasn't making any money.
00:16:22That's when I picked up insurance.
00:16:23Don't worry, I'll be fine.
00:16:26But I still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:30My family, you know, they were there every step of the way.
00:16:32The nights that I would cry because I'm not singing, I'm not doing music, and I thought I would never
00:16:37have another chance at it.
00:16:39They were definitely there for every single one of those moments.
00:16:41I got faith in you, brother.
00:16:43You got it in you, baby.
00:16:44We've been in your corner all your life.
00:16:47We love you so much, little buddy.
00:16:49American Idol's another chance at doing what I love and getting my foot back in the door.
00:16:53I have a voice, and I want it to be heard.
00:17:07Come on now.
00:17:17When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else.
00:17:29He treats the world for the good things he's found.
00:17:38If she is bad, he can't see it.
00:17:46She can't do no harm.
00:17:51Turn his back on his best friend if he puts her down.
00:18:01When a man loves a woman.
00:18:07When a man loves a woman, I give you everything I got.
00:18:20Trying to hold on to your precious love
00:18:27And baby, baby, please don't treat me bad
00:18:37When a man loves a woman
00:18:45Deep down in his soul
00:18:50She can't bring you such mystery
00:19:01Wow.
00:19:03You know, there's a difference between bent down and broke down.
00:19:06You were in both conditions.
00:19:08I'm doing bad.
00:19:09I mean, you were down.
00:19:11You were down.
00:19:11I said, how low is he going to go?
00:19:13Oh, man.
00:19:14No, you wouldn't know.
00:19:15That was great interpretation, man.
00:19:17Carrie, what do you think about this?
00:19:18Wonderful gentleman.
00:19:20Surprising.
00:19:22Like you just walk in and you're just so chill and calm
00:19:26and then you open your mouth to sing, hands in your pockets.
00:19:29Sorry.
00:19:31No, you're good.
00:19:32I was like, is he going to...
00:19:33I'm going to have to go take his hands out of his pockets.
00:19:35I was pleasantly surprised.
00:19:38You can't learn what you just did.
00:19:40Regardless of whatever else you think you were trying to do,
00:19:43do more of that.
00:19:45Carrie reminded me of my mom.
00:19:47Take your hands out your pocket
00:19:49and look the folks straight in the face.
00:19:51That's all you need to do.
00:19:52In other words, now you have to become the character.
00:19:54Yes, sir.
00:19:55And if you're really, really lucky and blessed,
00:19:58you won't have to worry about insurance except on your voice.
00:20:00And that's going to be covering you.
00:20:02Sounds good to me.
00:20:03Luke?
00:20:04Luke, making another Georgia boy proud.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:07We've had 10 people today that look like they've been trained to sing.
00:20:11And you look like you were born to sing.
00:20:13Nah.
00:20:16The fun part about this business,
00:20:18we can't judge any book by any cover.
00:20:20We just have to let you sing.
00:20:23And then, man, when we get somebody like you,
00:20:25it's pretty dang exciting.
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:26It's going to make me cry, man.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:28It is now, I think it's your turn to shine.
00:20:31I think we should just take a vote.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:34Gary, what do you think?
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36Boom.
00:20:36Luke, what do you think?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:39Boom.
00:20:39We're not selling insurance, but we're definitely selling tickets.
00:20:42Welcome to Hollywood Week, babes.
00:20:44Good job.
00:20:46Get down, baby.
00:20:47Please don't cry.
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49Georgia boy.
00:20:50Yes, sir.
00:20:55Here it comes.
00:21:10I had a lot of family and friends here with me today
00:21:12that have seen nothing but ups and downs.
00:21:16Definitely felt like music slowed down for me a lot,
00:21:19and I didn't see another way back into it.
00:21:21But I believe my life definitely changed with this audition.
00:21:25I'm going to Hollywood Week!
00:21:29Shout out to the insurance company I work for.
00:21:32Thank you all for the job,
00:21:33and I will be taking some time off.
00:21:43You know what my mother used to stop and get me for breakfast?
00:21:47A 20-ounce Mountain Dew.
00:21:49Wow.
00:21:50And a sleeve of powdered donuts.
00:21:52Wow.
00:21:53Okay, we're about to start.
00:21:54Let's hold everything.
00:21:55Luke needs to have his breakfast burrito.
00:21:57The burrito!
00:21:58No, it's just arriving.
00:22:00It'll be 10 more minutes, everyone.
00:22:0210 more.
00:22:02Oh, my God.
00:22:03Must be blue.
00:22:03What?
00:22:04He's going to have a rushed burrito?
00:22:06Fast burrito.
00:22:07There's burrito, and then there's fast burrito.
00:22:10I'm going to have one more bite, and I'll be ready.
00:22:15Is there a napkin?
00:22:17Ah.
00:22:27Two seconds.
00:22:29Here we go, guys.
00:22:31All right.
00:22:33And here we go.
00:22:36We made it.
00:22:37Look at it!
00:22:38Ah!
00:22:41My name is Livvy.
00:22:42I am 22 years old from a small town called Shinnston, West Virginia,
00:22:45and I am a server at Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:48Everybody here.
00:22:49Uh-oh.
00:22:49Here we go.
00:22:51Yes!
00:22:52No one's going on, but I'm here for it.
00:22:54How are we doing today?
00:22:55My name's Livvy.
00:22:56Welcome to Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:57I'll be serving you.
00:22:58We're going to get y'all to start with some drink.
00:23:00We got some Coke products, sweet tea, and Luke, we got that one margarita, two margaritas,
00:23:05three margaritas.
00:23:07Plenty of shots.
00:23:07You're going to bring a shot?
00:23:08Oh, you got some peanuts.
00:23:10I do.
00:23:10Yes!
00:23:11Can I give them two?
00:23:11Yes!
00:23:12Today for the judges, I'm bringing the energy, I'm bringing the roles, and I'm bringing
00:23:16my personality for them.
00:23:18That's not a server's outfit.
00:23:20Is that your outfit?
00:23:21Do you wear that?
00:23:21Oh, this is my outfit, you know?
00:23:23I've got to look sexy for you guys.
00:23:24I've got to look snazzy.
00:23:25You're making a mess, by the way.
00:23:28I've got it contained.
00:23:29This is so good.
00:23:31The main place I sing would have to be my job.
00:23:33We do a thing called give us an exercise yeehaw for the birthdays.
00:23:37So I started singing happy birthday, and people were posting me on TikTok.
00:23:41Things were growing up.
00:23:47Luke, I think my mom's about to have a heart attack.
00:23:50If she sees you, she thinks you're the sexiest man alive.
00:23:53Oh, no, mama.
00:23:55Oh, Luke, come on.
00:23:58Please.
00:23:58She said on the way of her, she said, is Luke married?
00:24:01I said, yes, mom, he's married.
00:24:03He said, he ain't going to be married by the time I get in there.
00:24:05Oh, boy.
00:24:07You better get prepared.
00:24:08That little Italian woman's about to come get you.
00:24:11Security, security.
00:24:13Well, good deal.
00:24:14Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:24:16I'm singing Love Wins by Carrie Underwood.
00:24:18All right.
00:24:20Let's hear it.
00:24:21Absolutely.
00:24:25He'll stop smacking.
00:24:35Oh, straight bulletin' a mama cries.
00:24:39Her baby won't be coming home tonight.
00:24:43Siren screaming down the avenue.
00:24:46Just another story on the evening news.
00:24:50Oh, oh.
00:24:50And so it goes.
00:24:52But I hold on to hope and I won't let go.
00:24:56Cause I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers and I, I believe we're made to be here
00:25:09for each other.
00:25:10We'll never fall if we walk hand in hand.
00:25:13For the world that seems broken together again.
00:25:17I, I, I believe in the end.
00:25:23Love wins.
00:25:32Um, Carrie, is she pushing too hard?
00:25:35Might be a little bit.
00:25:37You, you have a, such a big instrument.
00:25:39And I feel like sometimes if you start off out of the gate going a hundred miles an hour, there's
00:25:45nowhere left to go.
00:25:46Absolutely.
00:25:47Fredly, can we do a, play that, that chorus soft.
00:25:52Sing it soft one time.
00:25:55Real relax.
00:25:58I, I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers and I, I believe in the end.
00:26:11Love wins.
00:26:14That was so much more emotional.
00:26:18Oh my gosh.
00:26:20Hello.
00:26:20That was really nice.
00:26:22Was it enough for maybe you to eat both those?
00:26:25Can I have your biscuits?
00:26:28Get Lionel's.
00:26:29Give me Lionel's.
00:26:30You have enough.
00:26:32My vote is yes.
00:26:34I'm excited to see what you do next.
00:26:37And please show us all the sides.
00:26:39Your softer side, your powerful side.
00:26:41Yes for me.
00:26:42You're a queen.
00:26:42Oh my gosh.
00:26:43You're a queen.
00:26:43You're a good enough singer to not have to push so hard.
00:26:46Really focus on capturing the emotion like you did on that second go around.
00:26:49I'm a yes.
00:26:50Oh, thank you.
00:26:51Thank you, Luke.
00:26:52Lionel, what are you?
00:26:53I'm full.
00:26:55I'm sorry.
00:26:56It is an absolute yes for me.
00:26:58Thank you, guys.
00:26:59And let me tell you something.
00:27:00And I mean this from the heart.
00:27:01You're a sweetheart.
00:27:02And if you just calm down and put that voice out there, you've got something magical.
00:27:07Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:09You need this.
00:27:11You're going to Hollywood, Luke.
00:27:13Oh, yeah.
00:27:16Remember, Mama, Mama.
00:27:17Mama.
00:27:18Here we go.
00:27:19Oh, my God.
00:27:20Mama Maria.
00:27:22She got the chance to meet Luke.
00:27:23And I think Luke was a little scared.
00:27:25Oh, my God.
00:27:26You see how that is?
00:27:27Wait.
00:27:29Get him.
00:27:30Oh, Mama.
00:27:32Get him.
00:27:32He's been warm.
00:27:34Oh, my God.
00:27:43You know, I worked my butt off for this.
00:27:49Like, Carrie Underwood, Gabby Barrett, all these people have held the stick.
00:27:52And now, like, I'm like, now it's my turn.
00:27:55That's all I'm going to say.
00:27:56I'm ready to show the world what I can do.
00:27:57And let's win this, baby.
00:27:59Let's do it.
00:28:00We're going to Hollywood week.
00:28:02Let's give them a big old Texas sign.
00:28:04Yee-haw!
00:28:13Hello, my name is Miyaka, and I'm 24-year-old, and I'm from Ukraine.
00:28:31I sing Japanese, though.
00:28:33Hello, I don't speak Japanese for now.
00:28:35I still learn in English.
00:28:37I can sing opera, rock, jazz, whatever.
00:28:40And I was thinking which style matches me the most.
00:28:43And when I started to work with anime project, I felt like that.
00:29:03From the moment when I started singing, I knew for sure that I'm going to be on stage.
00:29:08That I have enough energy to have a stadium, to have a huge concert.
00:29:12And I really, really want to share this with you guys.
00:29:15I've got the world, I've taken up my mind.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:29Wow.
00:29:30Wow.
00:29:31It's exactly what I want.
00:29:33I love her.
00:29:34I really love your energy.
00:29:37I love everything you're about.
00:29:40You are a star.
00:29:42You are a star.
00:29:44I thought it was very good.
00:29:46I love your energy.
00:29:48In this arena, we do not have anime night.
00:29:54So I'm not sure this is the avenue.
00:29:57But we enjoy your uniqueness.
00:30:00If I could take your energy and cut it in half.
00:30:04If I could take your vocals and cut it in half.
00:30:07We put the baby got back through.
00:30:09I like big butts.
00:30:11And I cannot lie.
00:30:14I like you, Trace.
00:30:15We've got to check y'all's ears.
00:30:17We're not going to put her through.
00:30:18You're hitting on something.
00:30:20I'm hitting on a good point.
00:30:22When Luke has a moment, we recognize.
00:30:25This is my baby got back dude moment.
00:30:28There's show business and then there's entertainment.
00:30:30And we don't want theater.
00:30:32We want that pop singer.
00:30:34I can do it.
00:30:41I don't know.
00:30:46I think the only way you're going to know what we're talking about
00:30:50is to put you in the class.
00:30:53You know what I'm thinking?
00:30:53I'm thinking we don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't put the muscle, don't put
00:30:58the muscle on it.
00:30:59Don't put the muscle on it.
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:01We're not trying to force Carrie into anything.
00:31:03What do you think, Carrie?
00:31:04You don't need me.
00:31:05Say it.
00:31:06You don't need me.
00:31:07Just say what your vote is.
00:31:09It's a no for me.
00:31:10Oh.
00:31:11What is our vote, Lionel?
00:31:13I'm a big old yes.
00:31:14I'm a big old yes.
00:31:15There you go.
00:31:16I go, yeah?
00:31:17You're going to Hollywood week.
00:31:18You're going to Hollywood week.
00:31:21Guys, we did it.
00:31:23Woo.
00:31:24I love it.
00:31:24Thanks for Kono Bull, Lila.
00:31:26I know, I love it.
00:31:27I love it.
00:31:28So for our next step, I definitely have one extra challenge.
00:31:31It's to get yes from Carrie.
00:31:37Hollywood week, I'm coming.
00:31:40Carrie, I know this has damaged our judging relationship just a wee bit.
00:31:46Year two with Carrie, she can dig her heels in.
00:31:49I would love to hang out with her.
00:31:50No, totally.
00:31:51She is like Miss Cheerleader, awesome.
00:31:53I do not find that entertaining.
00:31:55She is 1,000% comfortable in her role as a judge.
00:32:01Well, we'll just have to see what America wants to do.
00:32:04That's my thing.
00:32:05She's great.
00:32:06I like her.
00:32:07There were several times that me and Carrie, we kind of got at odds.
00:32:13Our brains just are working differently, which is great.
00:32:16It's definitely more than Baby Got Back, dudes.
00:32:18Y'all are mean.
00:32:20You would be one that by the end of it, it would be like,
00:32:23do you remember his first audition and look how far he's come.
00:32:27I'm a yes.
00:32:28I'm a no.
00:32:29Boom.
00:32:30That was great.
00:32:32She's going to fight for her kids and the talent.
00:32:35The kind of intro, emo, I just worry about that.
00:32:42Yeah, but he said he likes Fall Out Boy.
00:32:43You know what I mean, do you do stuff like that?
00:32:46That's like, you can start out all quiet and then like the drums kick in and...
00:32:50I do.
00:32:51See, he does.
00:32:53I'm a no.
00:32:55Shocker.
00:32:56Shocker.
00:32:57If we disagree on something.
00:33:00Oh, are we going to beef?
00:33:02It's too late.
00:33:03You're going to have some flat tires.
00:33:06It's all in love, you know?
00:33:09Hello.
00:33:10Got a whole band with you, trio.
00:33:12All right, well, who are you?
00:33:14My name is Vincent Fondale.
00:33:15Well, who's your crew here?
00:33:17Well, this is my band.
00:33:18We've been together for 18 years.
00:33:19Where are you from?
00:33:20I'm from Cleveland, Ohio.
00:33:22What do you do up there in Cleveland?
00:33:23I do concrete with my brother and I've created this band up there.
00:33:28What's the name of the band?
00:33:29It's named Recess.
00:33:30Recess?
00:33:31Yeah, we just think of it as like a break from every day.
00:33:34Awesome.
00:33:35What are you going to sing today?
00:33:36I'm going to sing an original song we actually wrote in 2019.
00:33:40We felt like we were going to break up and instead of breaking up, we just came out with this
00:33:45song.
00:33:45Lionel and I thought we were going to break up in 2019.
00:33:48Never.
00:33:49We were going to stay together no matter what.
00:33:50Stronger than ever.
00:33:52Let's go.
00:33:56When every minute heightens my confusion
00:33:59Till I could feel the fall from space
00:34:05How come you look so close like you're right in front of me
00:34:10And if they see that time is an illusion
00:34:14Why can't you see it on my face?
00:34:20How come you look so close
00:34:22But you feel so far away?
00:34:27Whoa
00:34:34How come you look so close?
00:34:47Oh, and I know it's over
00:34:53But it's all I've got
00:34:58I know I'm halfway there
00:35:00But I'm just not close enough
00:35:03Oh, and I know it's over
00:35:07But it just won't stop
00:35:10Oh, ringing in my ear
00:35:14And the sound of giving up
00:35:17Oh, and I know it's over
00:35:20But it's all I've got
00:35:24But it's all I've got
00:35:26Ringing in my ear
00:35:28And the sound of giving up
00:35:35Thank you
00:35:38I'm really excited about you
00:35:40You have this beautiful voice
00:35:42I have no words
00:35:44I'm a little on the other side of the fence
00:35:48Are you serious?
00:35:49Yes
00:35:50Are you serious?
00:35:51I mean, you've got big notes
00:35:52But I thought when you're doing the Tinder stuff
00:35:55It's almost not really connecting with me all the way
00:35:58It's just not reaching in me
00:35:59And pulling, like, emotions out right now
00:36:02Thomas
00:36:02Lionel, what you think about our concrete boy?
00:36:05Is that a concrete, solid performance?
00:36:08Concrete work may not be where you're going to end up with this thing
00:36:11If you sound like an old seasoned guy with that voice
00:36:13You know, you kind of know where you're going with that bad boy
00:36:16It's a yes for me
00:36:17Oh!
00:36:18It's a yes for me
00:36:19She's already one Lionel over
00:36:20You can see the headlines now
00:36:22No, no, it's going to be a good season
00:36:23Carrie and Luke at odds
00:36:25I can vote
00:36:27I'm a no
00:36:28You are dead inside
00:36:31It's a yes for me
00:36:32The concrete boy looks like he has cemented himself
00:36:36Wow
00:36:37In the Hollywood week
00:36:38Congratulations
00:36:39I'm going to give this to you
00:36:40You're going to Hollywood week, babe
00:36:41You're getting an express delivery from Carrie Underwood
00:36:45Thank you so much
00:36:47Thank you
00:36:47Congratulations
00:36:48Very cool
00:36:49Seeing Carrie and Luke at odds was very stunning
00:36:51She never gets mad and mean at anything
00:36:55No
00:36:55I'm just glad Carrie was on my side and I was able to move through
00:36:58Carrie's coming strong, okay?
00:37:00You watch Harry
00:37:02Yeah!
00:37:04Carrie and I are already incapable of being in the room with one another
00:37:11It's Nicki Minaj all over again
00:37:13Oh, no, no, no
00:37:15I am feeling very, very nervous
00:37:26I've had the jitters all day
00:37:29Were you ever nervous?
00:37:31Like on Idol?
00:37:31Yes
00:37:32Of course
00:37:32I was horrified
00:37:34Were you nervous?
00:37:35A little bit
00:37:36I've never done anything like this before
00:37:39For me, if I'm slightly doubtful
00:37:45Once I grab the mic, it's only one way
00:37:49I gotta go that way
00:37:51You're kind of a superpower
00:37:52You just take charge
00:37:54Well, that's the mark of an entertainer
00:37:57That's a superstar
00:37:58Because you're gonna figure it out or you're not
00:38:00Hopefully I can impress the judges

00:38:33Phoenix, Arizona
00:38:34Oh, Phoenix

00:38:36Have you ever been in weather this cold?
00:38:39No
00:38:40Arizona doesn't get like below 50
00:38:42All right, just back up
00:38:44Tell us who we are
00:38:45And your age
00:38:46My name is Lonnie
00:38:47I'm 19 years old
00:38:49And I'm currently in high school
00:38:51Yeah
00:38:52It was my first time on a plane
00:38:53Did your family come with you?
00:38:55What is
00:38:55Oh, I came alone
00:38:56Came alone
00:38:57Sorry, this is crazy
00:38:58My dad loves you
00:38:59I love you
00:38:59And I really like you
00:39:00So I'm sorry
00:39:02Anyways, yeah
00:39:03I'm going to go ahead and start for you guys
00:39:05Because I'm taking up a lot of dollars
00:39:06Yeah, okay
00:39:07Good
00:39:07No, no, no
00:39:08We're just learning about you
00:39:10So from Arizona to here
00:39:12What was the leap of faith?
00:39:13I mean, American Idol
00:39:14Come on
00:39:16My dad
00:39:18He's in the ICU right now
00:39:20So
00:39:22So this is all for him
00:39:23I'm doing this for him
00:39:25He believed in me
00:39:25And I'm here
00:39:26And I want this more than ever now
00:39:28Pick it up
00:39:30Pick it up
00:39:31I'm very insecure about my voice
00:39:34But my dad believed in me
00:39:36When nobody else did
00:39:37He saw it in me
00:39:38Even when I didn't see it myself
00:39:40Got a second chance
00:39:41You could go home
00:39:43My dad is the kindest person in the world
00:39:45But at the same time
00:39:47He was struggling with addiction
00:39:49Since before I was born
00:39:52There were so many nights
00:39:53I would just cry from watching my dad stumble upstairs
00:40:01And he would say
00:40:03Tonight's going to be my last drink
00:40:05Every day
00:40:06You could still be
00:40:08What you want to
00:40:10What you said you were
00:40:12Recently
00:40:13He has been getting better
00:40:14Because he stopped
00:40:15But he now has liver failure
00:40:18And is currently awaiting a transplant
00:40:27I really want my dad
00:40:29To be in my future
00:40:30But this could be
00:40:32My last chance
00:40:33To show him
00:40:35His daughter
00:40:35Tried for him
00:40:41I am going to be singing
00:40:43Tell Me You Love Me

00:43:13Thank you
00:43:14Yeah
00:43:15Some people's journey to get here
00:43:17Is a lot harder than others
00:43:19And yours has been a hard one
00:43:21And you're just out here
00:43:23Being so real and open with us
00:43:26And you're not hiding anything
00:43:28You're not trying to be something
00:43:30You're not
00:43:30You're just being authentically you
00:43:33And I don't know
00:43:34There's just something really
00:43:35Really special about you
00:43:37How brave you are
00:43:38To get on a plane
00:43:39And come out here

00:47:15Let's meet you

00:48:06What do you think?
00:48:07I mean just listening to you sing
00:48:09I feel like
00:48:10You can get some more air
00:48:12Underneath those higher notes
00:48:15And maybe
00:48:16Should you get the chance
00:48:17Surprise us next time
00:48:18With like a big vocal song
00:48:20Yeah okay
00:48:21I love your vibe
00:48:22I do worry about
00:48:23The bigness of your voice
00:48:25But that doesn't mean
00:48:26I wouldn't want to roll the dice
00:48:28On you

00:48:50You did it
00:48:50Oh my god

00:48:53Jackie Bluebird
00:48:54I think she can get some more horsepower
00:48:56Yeah
00:48:56We're so happy
00:48:58That you crossed our paths
00:48:59When we were out there
00:49:00I'm so glad you guys
00:49:01Crossed my paths
00:49:03Don't skip class
00:49:04Unless you get an audition
00:49:05For American Idol
00:49:06Ah
00:49:07Oh my gosh
00:49:13Wow
00:49:15This is beautiful
00:49:20This is terrible
00:49:22I'm Naila Martin
00:49:24I'm 17 years old
00:49:25And I'm a junior in high school
00:49:27When I say Naila
00:49:29You say Smiler
00:49:30Naila
00:49:31Naila
00:49:32Naila
00:49:33Naila
00:49:34I've never really described myself
00:49:36To people before
00:49:37But I would say like
00:49:39Cool
00:49:40Calm
00:49:41And collected
00:49:45Maybe not today
00:49:48Yeah that's today
00:49:51My whole life
00:49:52Has revolved around singing
00:49:54I'm not really good at much else
00:49:56Yeah your character
00:49:57Everywhere she goes
00:49:58She's trying to sing
00:49:59She's gonna ask somebody random
00:50:00And if they say no
00:50:01She's still gonna sing
00:50:04I've never met a famous person
00:50:06So when I see them in person
00:50:07I'm gonna be like
00:50:08Oh
00:50:09Like I don't know
00:50:10I really hope not
00:50:11Cause that would be embarrassing
00:50:12But
00:50:13I'm gonna try to keep it cool
00:50:14And calm
00:50:15And collected
00:50:16Hi everyone

00:50:25You just jumped right into it
00:50:26It's so surreal
00:50:27To be here right now
00:50:28I would like get my hair done
00:50:31By my cousin on Sundays
00:50:33When this show would air
00:50:34And like everyone would be singing
00:50:36And stuff like that
00:50:37I would be like
00:50:37Oh my gosh
00:50:38I hope that can be me one day
00:50:40Wow
00:50:40And um
00:50:42This is crazy

00:50:44Well what will you be singing for us?
00:50:46I'll be singing
00:50:47Ain't No Way
00:50:47By Aretha Franklin
00:50:48Wow
00:50:49Okay
00:50:50Take a deep breath man
00:50:51Take a deep breath
00:50:52Wow
00:50:58Ain't No Way
00:51:02For me to love you
00:51:08Baby
00:51:12If you won't
00:51:16Let me
00:51:22It ain't No Way
00:51:27For me to give you all you need
00:51:34If you won't let me
00:51:36Give all of me
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:44And if you need me
00:51:47To love you
00:51:49Say
00:51:50Say
00:51:51You do
00:51:52Oh
00:51:54Cause baby

00:51:57Don't you know that
00:51:59I
00:52:00Need
00:52:02You
00:52:08I said it ain't
00:52:11I said it ain't
00:52:13No Way
00:52:13For me
00:52:14To love you
00:52:16If you won't
00:52:19If you won't
00:52:23If you won't
00:52:24Let me
00:52:27Let me
00:52:28Let me
00:52:34Wow
00:52:35Wow
00:52:35Wow
00:52:36Thank you
00:52:38Thank you
00:52:38Yeah incredible voice
00:52:41Absolutely
00:52:41Thank you
00:52:42It's hard to believe you're 17 years old with an instrument like that.
00:52:47Thank you so much.
00:52:48There were some moments where you dialed it back and they were really beautiful notes, really nice.
00:52:53But you can tell singing means a lot to you and this moment means a lot to you.
00:52:57I almost want to see how much you can grow in this competition.
00:53:00I don't like that.
00:53:01She went 200,000 feet straight up and landed the plane all in one piece.
00:53:08God bless you with an instrument.
00:53:10But for me, it's a teaching moment that I really want to tell you about.
00:53:15Because curls, you have.
00:53:18Range, you have.
00:53:20If you had, let's say, an hour show, you just gave the whole show away in the first song.
00:53:26You could have done half of that and still walked out of here with a prize.
00:53:30If you could just learn to edit, I think you'd be well on your way.
00:53:36I'm a yes.
00:53:37I'm a yes.
00:53:39Less is more.
00:53:40I'm a yes.
00:53:42Oh, Lord.
00:53:43It's a yes from me, too.
00:53:46Give her the ticket, Greg.
00:53:47Give her the ticket, Greg.
00:53:48I'm wrong.
00:53:48You're going to Hollywood, we?
00:53:50Oh, my God.
00:53:52What is this?
00:53:52Coming around the park.
00:53:54Thank you so much.
00:53:54Oh, you did.
00:53:56Come on.
00:53:59Yes.
00:54:01Yes.
00:54:01Yes.
00:54:02Yes.
00:54:03How you doing, family?
00:54:05I'm so thankful for everybody here.
00:54:07Thank you guys for coming out to support me.
00:54:09I know where we're going.
00:54:12I'm going to Hollywood.
00:54:14We're going.
00:54:26This is actually a working person schedule.
00:54:28Like 9 to 5.
00:54:30It's like clock in, clock out.
00:54:31Well, not even 9 to 5.
00:54:31It's like real, real working.
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:34Where's our pail?
00:54:35We need a lunch pail.
00:54:36A lunch pail.
00:54:37A thermos.
00:54:38Thermos full of coffee.
00:54:42Well, I'm a carpenter.
00:54:44I'm a spray foam technician.
00:54:45I'm manager for a plumbing company.
00:54:47I am a warehouse worker.
00:54:49I'm a plumber.
00:54:50I always tell everybody the stinkier it is, the more money I make.
00:54:53So, yep, that's the truth.
00:54:57We manufacture spray foam on the spot.
00:54:59I feel like spray foam was a game changer to the insulation industry.
00:55:03It's the Ferrari of insulation.
00:55:06Definitely, yeah, for sure.
00:55:08It's great.
00:55:10Yeah, we know how to work, and we know how to play.
00:55:15I'm Christian Brown.
00:55:16I'm 22 years old, and I'm a delivery driver.
00:55:18How are y'all doing today?
00:55:19How you doing?
00:55:20Doing wonderful today.
00:55:22I'm ready to give y'all something today.
00:55:23We are ready.
00:55:24There we go.
00:55:25All right, well, who are you?
00:55:26I'm Christian Brown.
00:55:27Christian Brown.
00:55:28I know this guy right here.
00:55:29Oh, you do?
00:55:30I do.
00:55:31My dad is country music singer, songwriter, Marty Brown, and he is well-known for the song
00:55:37I'm From the Country, and I like it that way.
00:55:39We're from the country, and we like it that way.
00:55:43He put out three records in the 90s.
00:55:45He's played on the Grand Ole Opry stage.
00:55:47He's a member of the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.
00:55:49He is, all in all, just a great songwriter, great singer, and a great dad.
00:55:53Yeah, we know how to work, and we know how to play.
00:55:57I'm from the country, and we like it that way.
00:56:01Yeah, everybody knows everybody.
00:56:05Everybody calls you friends.
00:56:07Now, you don't need an invitation.
00:56:09You're an invitation.
00:56:10Yeah.
00:56:11A kickoff if you come on in.
00:56:13Come on in.
00:56:14Yeah, we know how to work, and we know how to play.
00:56:18Hey.
00:56:18We're from the country, and we're from the country, Marty.
00:56:21We're from the country, and we like it that way.
00:56:29I told you.
00:56:30There you go.
00:56:31Look out.
00:56:33Well, good deal.
00:56:34Well, Christian, what you going to sing for us today?
00:56:36Wildest Dreams that he wrote, actually.
00:56:38Love it.
00:56:38I'm going to do that one.
00:56:39I'm singing Wildest Dreams that my dad had written.
00:56:42He had written that song about his children.
00:56:44It's a song about how much you love somebody.
00:56:47I'm going to be singing for my dad.
00:56:49It's my way of telling him I love him, too.
00:56:51I would not be where I am today without him.
00:56:55And only in a dream would I be feeling this way.
00:57:05And it would be a nightmare, lady, if you ever ran away.
00:57:16Because you are the reason for the way that I feel.
00:57:22Is this love a dream, or is it for real?
00:57:27And if this is a dream, I'd sleep a thousand years
00:57:33And wake up to find you lying right here
00:57:40Because in my wildest dreams
00:57:48Never would I believe
00:57:51You could love an old man like me
00:57:57I'm just as calm as I can be
00:58:03This love could only happen to me
00:58:11In my wildest dreams
00:58:26Yeah.
00:58:27Yes, sir.
00:58:30That's my boy.
00:58:31That's my boy.
00:58:32I think dad's a fan.
00:58:33That's my boy.
00:58:35I love that.
00:58:36Wow.
00:58:36It's got to make you proud to watch your boy do that, right?
00:58:39Yes, it really does.
00:58:40What do you think there, Lionel?
00:58:42Listen, I could take both of them on the road right now
00:58:44And make a lot of money.
00:58:45No.
00:58:47Your enthusiasm on performing, I love.
00:58:50I want to hear more from your vocals.
00:58:51I'd love to give more to you.
00:58:53You have a surprising range to your voice.
00:58:55You hit like a high note that I was like, where'd that come from?
00:58:59Which is a weapon in your arsenal for sure.
00:59:02Thank you so much, Kerry.
00:59:03That means a lot coming from you.
00:59:05It does.
00:59:05Yeah, I think you definitely got all the tools to really see some rounds in this competition.
00:59:11I think really digging more and more.
00:59:13It's a big-time vocal competition.
00:59:16But I want to see you go after that.
00:59:19I want to see you grow.
00:59:20I'm a yes.
00:59:22Yeah.
00:59:23Make that, too.
00:59:24It's a yes for me.
00:59:25Ah.
00:59:26It's an absolute yes for me.
00:59:28You got three yeses.
00:59:29You're going to Hollywood week.
00:59:32And bring Marty with you.
00:59:34You want me to bring it with you?
00:59:35Sure.
00:59:35It ain't far.
00:59:36Woo!
00:59:37Yeah.
00:59:38That's right.
00:59:40Good to see you, Marty.
00:59:41Take care, baby.
00:59:41Good seeing you.
00:59:43Well, I'm going to tell you, I was moved.
00:59:46It just felt like I was...
00:59:48That fella, he made me feel like I was 22 again.
00:59:51I don't lie, boy, Marty.
00:59:52I love Marty.
00:59:53I love you.
00:59:53I love you.
00:59:54I love you very much.
00:59:55That's what this is all about.
00:59:56That's right.
00:59:57It's just a moment that we will have forever in our lives together as father and son.
01:00:01That's right.
01:00:03I'm going to Hollywood, baby.
01:00:05Woo!
01:00:05Woo!
01:00:06Woo!
01:00:07Woo!
01:00:08Woo!
01:00:09Woo!
01:00:09Woo!
01:00:11Woo!
01:00:19I really want to tell stories.
01:00:22I'm a storyteller with my music.
01:00:24I've been writing songs as long as I can remember.
01:00:26The first one was when I was like five.
01:00:28So, what are you going to do for us?
01:00:30I'm going to play an original song that I wrote for my long-distance friends,
01:00:33and it's called Long Live the Lost Boys.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:37We're ready for you.
01:00:41She was by the window with adventure in her eyes,
01:00:46wondering what was out there,
01:00:47waiting on the other side.
01:00:50And he said,
01:00:51take my hand and I will teach you how to fly.
01:00:55He said,
01:00:56I,
01:00:57I can see it in your eyes,
01:00:59because you're one of the miscadits,
01:01:01always doing things that they don't get.
01:01:04Not from taking all of their worst hits,
01:01:06because you won't fit into their mold.
01:01:08Oh,
01:01:10so long live the lost boys running home,
01:01:12and never let them tame your soul.
01:01:15Long live the ones who never grow old.
01:01:22That, I'm going to tell you right now,
01:01:24I'll buy the first copy.
01:01:26I'm a fan of it doesn't fit.
01:01:30It fits because it's you,
01:01:31and your original song basically described you to a T.
01:01:36It's a yes for me.
01:01:38Thank you so much.
01:01:38You are super duper unique,
01:01:42but I'm trying to see where you would fit in the context of artists today.
01:01:49And it's like,
01:01:49can we channel all of that uniqueness into something where you can be you and your artistry,
01:01:56but it also just makes total sense to the listener.
01:02:01I could be right,
01:02:02or you could make me look real dumb someday.
01:02:05I think I'm going to have to give you a no.
01:02:08So, Luke, it is down to you, sir.
01:02:11What do we do with this little creative creature?
01:02:14Gosh, I don't know what to do with you.
01:02:17I'm very confused.
01:02:24I'm a yes.
01:02:25Yes, yes.
01:02:26Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
01:02:30You're going to do great things.
01:02:31Be the wonderful misfit that you are that doesn't fit.
01:02:34I'm loving it.
01:02:35Come get this, please, for goodness sakes.
01:02:38You're going to Hollywood Week.
01:02:39Thank you so much.
01:02:41I guess I'm going to Hollywood Week.
01:02:43I wasn't expecting to pass,
01:02:45but then they let me through,
01:02:47and I'm extremely happy.
01:02:49We're being attacked by A.
01:02:51Bam!
01:02:51Oh, my God.
01:02:53Is this the whole herd here?
01:02:54This way, gang.
01:02:55You guys did it.
01:02:57Oh, God.
01:02:58Oh, God.
01:03:00That was awesome to have my family
01:03:02come into the audition room with me.
01:03:04Oh, God.
01:03:07You're so blessed.
01:03:21It means a lot for y'all to be here.
01:03:23It really do.
01:03:24I appreciate y'all.
01:03:29Join us.
01:03:30Good day, Sarah.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:32So tell us who you are, where are you from, your age?
01:03:34I go by True the Star.
01:03:36I'm 24.
01:03:37I'm from Montgomery, Alabama.
01:03:38No way, down the street.
01:03:41Yeah, down the street, Tuskegee, man.
01:03:43All right.
01:03:44Yeah, man.
01:03:44Any musical background in the family, or just you?
01:03:48My Uncle Lionel.
01:03:50Uncle who?
01:03:50Lionel.
01:03:52Sounds like a good individual.
01:03:56My first memory of music, me and my mom actually used to watch American Idol.
01:04:00That was my first memory of, like, loving music, and yeah.
01:04:04He once tried to run away to Hollywood, and he was just going to run away with a guitar
01:04:08and sing on the street.
01:04:11I thought it was crazy.
01:04:13I thought.
01:04:13Yeah.
01:04:14It was determined.
01:04:16And I'm glad you kept that energy, bro, despite what anybody said about you, bro.
01:04:19I appreciate it.
01:04:20For real.
01:04:20Well, I gotta see them things hurt my heart.
01:04:25Growing up was tough.
01:04:28My mom was on drugs.
01:04:29It was a lot of times we didn't have water on, lights on.
01:04:33I had to take care of my little siblings.
01:04:37My mama had a hard life.
01:04:39And truthfully, my mom went through the same thing I had to go through.
01:04:43You know, history repeats itself.
01:04:48Eventually, our family stepped in, and my mom got clean, and she was actually really trying
01:04:53to change and make things better.
01:05:00I lost my mom in 2022.
01:05:07I had just started to understand.
01:05:09I had just started to understand at that time.
01:05:12And I had just started to forgive for a lot of things that we went through as kids.
01:05:18It was hard.
01:05:20It was very hard.
01:05:33This was a very special moment, not only for me, but for my family.
01:05:40For me, it's more than auditioning.
01:05:42It's just about my family, showing them that you can do anything that you can put your mind to.
01:05:48If I go a million miles away, I'll write a letter each and every day.
01:06:03Because I need nothing, so nothing can never change, this love I have for you.
01:06:17Oh, you're the apple of my cherry pie.
01:06:28And oh, you're kicking ice cream.
01:06:33Oh, you're sugar and spice.
01:06:38And everything nice, and everything nice.
01:06:42You're the girl of my, my, my, my, my, my dreams.
01:06:47But if you wanted to leave me at home, when you got back, baby, I'd just say, well, come on.
01:07:01Because I need nothing, oh, nothing can never change, this.
01:07:08Because I need nothing, shit, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, can change, this love I have for you.
01:07:26So, so I'm channeled now.
01:07:28Now, all the folks in Montgomery, Tuskegee, Auburn, Union Springs, they told me to give you a hug.
01:07:34Oh, thank you so much.
01:07:36Thank you, Ray.
01:07:36Oh, no, we're proud of you, son.
01:07:38Thank you so much.
01:07:39You did well.
01:07:40I love that.
01:07:41Thank you so much.
01:07:42You have a commanding voice, but I think my favorite part was your delivery.
01:07:48It was completely intentional, and it wasn't trying to barrel over the song and show us all your big notes.
01:07:56You were just delivering a story to us, and it was very believable.
01:08:00Thank you so much.
01:08:01It was the first time in three days I've had full body chills the whole time, and I thought it
01:08:08was just so real and genuine, and I just cheer for you.
01:08:12I want to see your family have a blast with all this, and...
01:08:16Are we going?
01:08:17Is the rest of your family outside this door?
01:08:19They should be.
01:08:24We have been waiting on you.
01:08:26Come on in, Montgomery.
01:08:28This is my brother.
01:08:29This is my sister.
01:08:31That's my brother.
01:08:31That's my little brother.
01:08:32That's my auntie.
01:08:33That's my uncle.
01:08:34Montgomery's going to be proud.
01:08:36I think he came in here to take no prisoners, and he just did that.
01:08:41It's a yes for me.
01:08:43I'm a big-time yes.
01:08:45Carrie, what's the note?
01:08:46Little man, you think we should all say yes and give him one of these?
01:08:51Say yes.
01:08:51Say yes.
01:08:53No!
01:08:55Say yes.
01:08:55It's a yes for me.
01:08:57You will!
01:08:58You going to Hollywood a week?
01:09:00Come on down there!
01:09:05Proud of you, man.
01:09:06Thank you so much.
01:09:06Guys, family, you guys, I'm telling you.
01:09:09This is wonderful.
01:09:10It's really been a blessing.
01:09:11It's really just been an honor to, you know, be here with my family.
01:09:14Oh, did it!
01:09:18Oh, oh!
01:09:20I think they're just really proud of me, and I know my mom is watching.
01:09:23I got a gold detector!
01:09:28This is hope.
01:09:30This is hope.
01:09:31This is hope.
01:09:33You will be here to be here.
01:09:42We have had the invasion of the Alabamians.
01:09:45I'm 17 years old, and I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
01:09:47I'm from Huntsville, Alabama.
01:09:49I know where you're from.
01:09:50Birmingham.
01:09:50From Troy, Alabama.
01:09:51Alabama is in the house.
01:09:53Roll Tide!
01:09:57Roll Tide?
01:09:58Yes, my Roll Tide band.
01:10:00Oh, no.
01:10:01Don't tell me that.
01:10:02Which judge are you most excited to meet?
01:10:04Lionel Richie.
01:10:05Love his music.
01:10:06And he's a Bama boy, too, so.
01:10:08I'm here without you, baby.
01:10:11But you're still on my lonely mind.
01:10:15I think about you, baby, and I dream about you all the time.
01:10:21I love your voice.
01:10:23I love your confidence.
01:10:24That little growl you have is signature to you.
01:10:27Come on, come on.
01:10:29It is very different to be here in Nashville compared to what I'm used to.
01:10:33I've never been around anything like this.
01:10:36You want all my love and my devotion.
01:10:45You want my love and soul right on the line.
01:10:54I'll give you a chance.
01:10:55I'm a yes.
01:10:56You need to know what you're capable of.
01:10:59If you've got to push a little more, you've got to squeeze that tushy.
01:11:03I'm a yes.
01:11:04It's a yes for me.
01:11:05I'm going to hurley oil and win!
01:11:09And Miss Carrie, every time I sing, I'm going to remember to squeeze that tushy and let it out.
01:11:16Best advice of my life.
01:11:22My home state is showing up.
01:11:26Hey.
01:11:26How are you?
01:11:27I'm good.
01:11:28How are you, y'all?
01:11:29Great.
01:11:29I like your sparkle.
01:11:31Where are you from?
01:11:32Alabama.
01:11:33Alabama.
01:11:34God, represent.
01:11:35What's your name?
01:11:36Kira Howell.
01:11:37How old are you?
01:11:38I'm 16.
01:11:3916 years old.
01:11:40Yes, ma'am.
01:11:40Yes, sir.
01:11:41Oh, my gosh.
01:11:41I'm so nervous.
01:11:43Well, where do you sing?
01:11:45I sing at festivals a lot.
01:11:47So those are my favorite.
01:11:48I like getting to interact with the people after I finish.
01:11:51I like festivals, too.
01:11:52I'm a talker.
01:11:53Good.
01:11:54So what kind of music do you listen to, and then what kind of music do you perform?
01:11:59If I had to pick one, I've been kind of pulled towards.
01:12:02Christian rock a little more.
01:12:03Okay, cool.
01:12:04That's actually what I'm singing today.
01:12:06Cool.
01:12:06Well, what song will you be singing?
01:12:08I'm singing Don't Tread on Me.
01:12:10It's by We the Kingdom.
01:12:11All right.
01:12:11Cool.
01:12:11Well, let's go.
01:12:16Oh, no, you've done it now.
01:12:19Gone against the king.
01:12:21Gone against the crowd.
01:12:23Oh, no, you've done it now.
01:12:26It's time to fill the fire.
01:12:30And rumors spreading around.
01:12:33How could you think he would stay down?
01:12:37Rumors spreading around.
01:12:40He's nothing but a liar.
01:12:43Get on out of here.
01:12:45Get on up and leave.
01:12:47Ain't no devil gonna tread on me.
01:12:50And choking on the blood that ran down the tree.
01:12:54Ain't no devil gonna tread on me.
01:12:56I said, no weapon formed against me shall prosper in Jesus' name.
01:13:35Ain't no devil gonna tread on me.
01:13:41Get on me.
01:13:46Woo!
01:13:47All right.
01:13:50Okay.
01:13:51I will tackle you first.
01:13:52You'll jump in there first, yeah.
01:13:53I'll show you.
01:13:54I will.
01:13:54I feel like there's a lot of versatility in there.
01:13:57Well, thank you.
01:13:57Just in your tone and you sometimes kind of have this grittiness in your voice.
01:14:02Oh, I love Rasp.
01:14:03That's like my favorite thing in the world.
01:14:05Yeah.
01:14:06I could hear you singing country.
01:14:07I feel like I could hear you singing like some Stevie Nicks.
01:14:11I like your voice a lot.
01:14:13And I mean, who needs oxygen, right?
01:14:16I was gonna say that.
01:14:17I feel like you broke a Carrie Underwood note-holding record somewhere.
01:14:22I don't know.
01:14:23I don't know.
01:14:24We might have to test it out someday.
01:14:26Yeah, we'll have to time it one day.
01:14:27But listen, you're very, very spunky and you've got a great energy to you.
01:14:32But, you know, just sing smart.
01:14:34Make sure you sing smart.
01:14:35I think that song choice, too.
01:14:37Yeah.
01:14:38Yeah, that song.
01:14:38Like, because you are so bubbly and fun and spunky, like, should you go forward?
01:14:46Oh, my God.
01:14:46If you keep your song choices, like, young and fun and spunky, that'll do you well.
01:14:52Iowa University is looking for that kind of energy to be on the cheering squad.
01:14:58Don't you think?
01:14:58I think so.
01:15:00Shall we vote?
01:15:01Yes.
01:15:02Spinal.
01:15:03Yes.
01:15:05Yes, ma'am.
01:15:06I love it.
01:15:07Come get this.
01:15:09Oh, that's so weird.
01:15:10You're going to Hollywood Week.
01:15:12She was a buddy.
01:15:13She was a buddy.
01:15:14Alabama, come on.
01:15:16Yeah.
01:15:17Good job, Alabama.
01:15:18You're representing.
01:15:20This is, like, so unreal.
01:15:22I see this on TV, and now, like, I'm holding it on TV, which is kind of the craziest thing
01:15:26in the world.
01:15:28Woo!
01:15:29She's got it!
01:15:32She's fun.
01:15:33She's fun.
01:15:35She's got a little Gabby Barrett kind of quality in there, too.
01:15:39This day was absolute perfection, and I'm going to Hollywood Week!
01:15:43Yay!
01:15:49That was a wild ride there for the last 45 minutes.
01:15:53Yeah.
01:15:53Today was promising.
01:15:55I mean, we found some real talent.
01:15:58I'm already dreading, like, tearing things down.
01:16:02Yeah.
01:16:03Ooh.
01:16:05Come on in.
01:16:06Don't be shy.
01:16:07Watch this.
01:16:08How are you?
01:16:09I'm doing very well.
01:16:11Ah, so great.
01:16:12What is your name?
01:16:13My name is Royal.
01:16:14I'm 25 years old.
01:16:15I come from Puerto Rico, but a few months ago, I moved to California to pursue my music
01:16:23dream.
01:16:23So when you moved here, did you move to, like, Los Angeles or...?
01:16:27I moved to Death Valley.
01:16:28I work in Death Valley National Park.
01:16:30Death Valley.
01:16:31Yes.
01:16:32The hottest place on Earth.
01:16:33I stretched myself across four states, new lands, west coast, where my dreams lay.
01:16:48I've loved music since I was a little girl.
01:16:51Back home in Puerto Rico, I really tried every route, every way to be involved in music,
01:16:57but I feel like I never quite fit in that industry, and I just didn't want to give up my
01:17:04dream.
01:17:06I started searching on Google, Jobs with Housing USA, and this swapped up.
01:17:12Oh, my God.
01:17:14It was so different.
01:17:15As of right now, I work as a retail associate in the bike shop at Death Valley.
01:17:21My job consists of doing reservations, being the cashier, telling people about all the sites
01:17:28they can go out and explore in the national park.
01:17:31The plan was to save up money and then head to L.A. and keep pursuing music.
01:17:37I really didn't know what I was getting myself into.
01:17:40This is, like, crazy.
01:17:41I live over there by that mountain.
01:17:44The hardest thing has been leaving my whole world behind.
01:17:48When was the last time you saw your family?
01:17:50I saw them the day before arriving to Death Valley.
01:17:53It's been six months since I saw my mom my whole life.
01:17:56She told me, go follow your dream, and I'll be here to help you always.
01:18:01I know I can hear her through the phone from Puerto Rico, but it's not the same to have that
01:18:06hug in person.
01:18:09I feel like she reminds me to be that little girl that had such big dreams.
01:18:18Well, we actually have a note here from your mom.
01:18:21Oh, my God.
01:18:24It says, God bless you.
01:18:26I want you to know I'll always be here to support you.
01:18:30Remember what I've always told you since you were little.
01:18:33Dreams do come true.
01:18:34Don't let anything or anyone stop you.
01:18:38I'm here with you in spirit.
01:18:40I love you with all my heart.
01:18:42Love, Mama.
01:18:43Oh, so beautiful.
01:18:45Thank you for that.
01:18:46Now that I made you cry, or your mom made you cry, what are you going to sing for us?
01:18:51Maybe by Sienna Spiral.
01:18:53Oh, awesome.
01:18:54Okay.
01:18:55No, I can't wait to surprise her.
01:18:58How are you going to feel when you see her?
01:19:01I'm very happy, and I don't know if I'm going to run, because I'm so excited.
01:19:10I, it's, I, it's happy, emocionada.
01:19:27All I wanted was to be a hostage
01:19:33For you to tie me up and never let me leave
01:19:40If we're honest
01:19:43It took the longest
01:19:45Time for you to even notice I was here
01:19:51But now I'm feeling jaded
01:19:56I thought I was your favorite
01:19:59I believe that you've fought so long
01:20:03Well, maybe this time
01:20:06You hurt like I did
01:20:08You won't get no sympathy
01:20:12Cause I got none from you
01:20:15Better make up your mind
01:20:18My mind's not confused
01:20:20Nothing left in me
01:20:23That was to leave a space for you
01:20:27Maybe this time
01:20:30Maybe this time
01:20:32Maybe this time
01:20:36You feel like I do
01:20:38It all feels so good
01:20:44When it's your turn and blue
01:20:52You won't get no sympathy
01:20:53Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:20:58Don't fantasize
01:20:59When you picture me
01:21:01When you close your eyes
01:21:02And I'm in your dreams
01:21:04Don't matter to her
01:21:05Don't matter to me
01:21:07Think I care
01:21:08I don't
01:21:09Maybe this time
01:21:11You hurt like I do
01:21:14You won't get no sympathy
01:21:18Cause I got none from you
