00:04:38Yes.
00:04:39Very first time.
00:04:40Fabulous.
00:04:41I remember growing up, we were struggling at a point in time.
00:04:44And I never thought that I would be on this journey and to be where I am today.
00:04:48Man, it feels so good being out here, the sun, the beach.
00:04:53I feel like I'm living a life.
00:04:54The experience, I'm grateful for it all.
00:04:58What are you going to be singing today?
00:04:59Today, I'm going to be singing Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande.
00:05:02Woo!
00:05:02I can't wait to hear what you got.
00:05:04Let's do it.
00:05:04Let's do it.

00:05:05She got her body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:10You didn't miss a note.
00:05:11She didn't miss a note.
00:05:12She didn't miss a note.
00:05:14That was incredible.
00:05:15I'm for it.
00:05:16If I were to say anything, it's just another little element you could sprinkle on.
00:05:19It's talking to the audience.
00:05:20Mm-hmm.
00:05:20As that in vamp out comes in, just being like, sing it with me or whatever.

00:05:36Mm-hmm.
00:05:36If she tries that, it'll work.
00:05:40Don't change a thing, I think.
00:05:41I'm not.
00:05:46She got her body like an hourglass, but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:53She got her body like a Cadillac, but I can see you into overdrive.

00:07:59Great to see you in Hawaii.
00:08:00Aloha.
00:08:01Aloha.
00:08:02Got the Aloha spirit.
00:08:03Did she engage with you?
00:08:04I think she did.
00:08:05Yes.
00:08:07Well, judges, did you feel it as well?
00:08:09Let's start with you, Lionel.
00:08:10What do you think?
00:08:10Did we feel it?
00:08:12Did we feel it?
00:08:16That's how you start a show off.
00:08:17Come on.
00:08:18Come on.
00:08:18Come on.
00:08:19Come on.
00:08:19Come on.
00:08:21Talk about a crowd pleaser.
00:08:24Boom.
00:08:25From the moment that you stepped out,
00:08:27you had the audience engaged.
00:08:29Now, in the first verse, did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34Your recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39It felt like a quick moment, but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, girl.
00:08:45It's insane.
00:08:46It's insane.
00:08:48I mean, you understood the assignment.
00:08:50Yes, right.
00:08:51You're the first one up.
00:08:52And I mean, you came out and you delivered.
00:08:54I went back and I rewatched your audition.
00:08:56And like, you just have notes on notes on notes on notes.
00:09:00And here you got to show us that you not only can sing,
00:09:03but you are a performer.
00:09:05That's right.
00:09:09You're great.
00:09:10I didn't say no more.
00:09:11So, I mean, your outfit's great.
00:09:14Your whole presentation and the energy was just through the roof.
00:09:17And just watching the crowd react is what it's all about.
00:09:25Starting us off up tempo.
00:09:26Micaiah needs your votes to move on in the competition.
00:09:28You can vote for her online via text or for the first time ever by commenting Micaiah's

00:09:45All right.
00:09:46Lots to do coming up.
00:09:46Jake Visser delivers some Huey Lewis and the news right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More Idol, right?
00:10:03Back with you on Idol, where we love highlighting the great work being done by Make-A-Wish.
00:10:08I want you to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here, our superstar, who is bravely facing
00:10:15ongoing treatment for a brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol with her family here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:10:23You're a star.
00:10:24Are you having a good time?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:27All right.
00:10:27Well, we love your energy.
00:10:28We love your spirit.
00:10:29Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:32Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:35Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends at Make-A-Wish for nearly 45 years and is proud
00:10:42to grant a Disney wish every hour of every day.
00:10:45You can learn more at wish.org slash Disney.
00:10:48Now, here's how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer took the reins with singer-songwriter Jake Thistle.
00:10:53You ready?
00:10:54Come on.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:58You've been performing since you were nine.
00:11:00Yeah.
00:11:00From nine to 15, I could play bars because I was young enough where nobody would ever think
00:11:04to serve me.
00:11:04I was the same way.
00:11:05I did bars from the time I was 10 until I left and it actually scared me off alcohol
00:11:11for a long time.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:12We come from different parts of the country and we play different styles of music, but
00:11:17we still have a lot of shared experiences.
00:11:18And so I had a great time talking to Brad about that.
00:11:20I'm singing The Power of Love by Huey Lewis.
00:11:22Oh, my God.
00:11:23So that's one of my favorite songs of all time.
00:11:25The power of love is a curious thing.
00:11:29Make a one man weep, make another man sing.
00:11:33You're a tremendous player.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35That's so kind to you.
00:11:36That is so perfectly done.
00:11:39That's a power of love.
00:11:42Yes!
00:11:43That's a high song.
00:11:44I mean, Huey always sang higher than you think.
00:11:48There's something about that voice of his.
00:11:49But in your case, too, go for those high ones.
00:11:52Power, you feel the power.
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless and, you know, sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:58I had a record exec once tell me, make it look hard tonight.
00:12:02And so I played a solo that's not that hard.
00:12:05And I was just like, ah, and like in the middle.
00:12:08And the cover of the newspaper the next day was that shot.
00:12:11There's sort of a power about getting out there and really, you know, going for it with facial expressions and
00:12:16body language.
00:12:17And that was great advice for him to give me.
00:12:19I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:12:20This is all going to come down to the stage presence that you show, I think, on a song like
00:12:25this.
00:12:25Thank you guys so much.
00:12:26You're great, man.
00:12:27Yeah.
00:12:27It really means the world.
00:12:40Power of love is a curious thing.
00:12:44Make one man weep, make another man seem.
00:12:48Change your heart to a little wider.
00:12:51More than a feeling, that's a power of love.
00:12:59Don't need money, don't take things
00:13:03Don't need no credit card to ride this train
00:13:07It's strong and it's sudden, but it's cruel sometimes
00:13:11I ain't just saved your life
00:13:16Say that all in love is fair
00:13:19Yeah, but you don't care
00:13:23With a little help from above
00:13:26You feel the power of love
00:13:30You feel the power of love
00:13:36First time you feel it, it might make you mad
00:13:40Next time you feel it, it might make you sad
00:13:44But you'll be glad, baby, when you're found
00:13:47That the power makes the world go round
00:13:52Don't need money, don't take faith
00:13:56Don't need no credit card to ride this train
00:13:59Tough with a diamond, strong with a steel
00:14:03You won't feel love until you feel
00:14:07You want the power, oh, you feel the power of love
00:14:12You feel the power, you feel the power of love
00:14:17Ooh, you feel the power of love
00:14:21Yeah, you feel the power of love
00:14:24You feel the power of love
00:14:34Yes
00:14:37The power of love
00:14:38The Back to the Future soundtrack
00:14:40Hughie Lewis and the News
00:14:41You wanted to bring the energy
00:14:43I think it was mission accomplished
00:14:44Thank you so much
00:14:45Let's get to the judges on this one
00:14:47Lionel?
00:14:47Did I detect this sexy
00:14:52Sexy Jake?
00:14:53And then, did you notice, judges?
00:14:55I've never seen you when you get the ugly face
00:14:58That means you're seeing your heart out, man
00:15:01I mean, honestly, that's what we're looking for
00:15:04Thank you so much
00:15:30I love how, just even at the beginning
00:15:35Like, everybody is kind of bringing different sides of themselves
00:15:38Like, we know you have a great voice
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that
00:15:42But you just look like you were having fun
00:15:44Paisley gave you some really great notes on the guitar
00:15:47You had some Paisley moves going on
00:15:49In the best way
00:15:50I'll take it, thank you so much
00:15:51It means a lot
00:15:54I mean, it was fabulous
00:15:55You could tell that you were so at home on stage
00:15:58And that moment where you stopped playing
00:15:59You really leaned in
00:16:01It was great to see how you were connecting to the crowd
00:16:03I mean, it felt like a party out here
00:16:04You saw how all the girls were screaming
00:16:07Thank you guys so much
00:16:08I really appreciate it
00:16:09Thank you

00:21:24Good to see you, buddy.
00:21:25Good to see you, man.
00:21:26Good to see you, buddy.
00:21:27Welcome back.
00:21:28I can't believe it.
00:21:29Here we are once again, feeling that island style.
00:21:33Thunderstorm, it was just last year, wasn't it?
00:21:35Man, it was just last year, but it feels like just a week ago.
00:21:38Really, yeah.
00:21:39Yeah, well, congratulations on everything.
00:21:41I'd like to see you up here making it look easy once again.
00:21:43And look at this superstar.
00:21:46What's up, what's up?
00:21:49How's life changed for you since we did all of this and announced you the winner of American Idol?
00:21:54Man, it's been crazy.
00:21:56Just touring around the world and just, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for American Idol, so come on.
00:22:02We love you, buddy.
00:22:04We love you, too.
00:22:05It's great to see you guys come back and perform for us.
00:22:07By the way, EM's debut album is available now, so check that out.
00:22:12Woo!
00:22:13Thunderstorm's new single, Storybook, is also out now, and their version of Island Style is available right this moment.
00:22:21Check it out.
00:22:23Thunderstorm.
00:22:23Ian, thank you very much.
00:22:27Woo!
00:22:28Woo!
00:22:31Now, hoping to follow in their footsteps and make it through tonight, is Genevieve Hayward.
00:22:39Aulani has been absolutely incredible.
00:22:42Because we are here for a competition, it does help when you're in those peak pressure moments to be able
00:22:47to look around and be like, okay, look at that palm tree.
00:22:51That palm tree's chillin', I'm gonna be chillin', you know?
00:22:55I'm feeling pretty zenned out.
00:22:57That feels good.
00:22:58This was a much-needed zen moment.
00:23:04You're funny.
00:23:05I know you wanted me to-
00:23:08For this round, I'll be singing Pink Pony Club by Chaperone.
00:23:11Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancin' at the beat-
00:23:16I was floored by Genevieve.
00:23:18Yes!
00:23:18She knows who she is already.
00:23:20Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, sing it.
00:23:24Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancin' at the beat-
00:23:29It's a real sort of rock and roll energy.
00:23:32Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:23:35All of this spontaneity.
00:23:37Just like the whimsy when you were starting and you're laughing.
00:23:40Yes!
00:23:40And just do it, just do it.
00:23:41I'm not sure if there's like something they can do in the beginning before you get into the song,
00:23:45but I almost wanted to meet you in the intro.
00:23:48Yeah.
00:23:48Before you get into the song, because I feel like that's you!
00:23:51Like, kind of bring the personality, like, right out the gate.
00:23:54Kiki almost immediately, like, saw me as a person.
00:23:57She's like, you're a showman.
00:23:58So we worked on kind of incorporating a little bit of that kind of attitude to it.
00:24:03American Idol. It's Genevieve. Are y'all ready to go to the Pink Pony Club?
00:24:09Yes, we are.
00:24:10I just hope that what I want to show comes out the right way on that stage.
00:24:14Pink Pony Club!
00:24:23Alright, I'm gonna need some help on this one, y'all, okay?
00:24:27Your eyes fine, Paul.
00:24:28Yeah.
00:24:29I know you wanted me to stay.
00:24:33I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in L.A.
00:24:38I heard that there's a special place.
00:24:42Boys and girls can all be queens every single day.
00:24:47I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee.
00:24:52Here's Santa Monica, I swear it's calling me.
00:24:56Won't make my mama proud.
00:24:58It's gonna cause a scene.
00:25:01She sees her baby girl.
00:25:03I know she's gonna scream.
00:25:05God, what have you done?
00:25:08You're a Pink Pony girl.
00:25:10And you dance at the club, oh mama.
00:25:14I'm just having fun on the stage in my heels.
00:25:19That's where I belong.
00:25:21Down at the Pink Pony Club.
00:25:24Oh, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
00:25:29Oh.
00:25:30I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
00:25:34I'm gonna keep on dancing at the Pink Pony Club.
00:25:38Big Pony Club
00:25:58Sing it!
00:25:59Big Pony Club
00:26:00I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
00:26:03Big Pony Club
00:26:05I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
00:26:10Big Pony Club
00:26:10I'm gonna keep on dancing at the
00:26:12Big Pony Club
00:26:14Big Pony Club
00:26:21Big Pony Club
00:26:23Big Pony Club
00:26:36Big Pony Club
00:26:37Yes!
00:26:38You are who you are
00:26:40Wherever you are
00:26:41There you go
00:26:42Singing that anthem right?
00:26:45Singing that anthem
00:26:46That is Bony Club
00:26:47Judges, did you feel that anthem Lionel?
00:26:49Did I feel it?
00:26:51Are you kidding me?
00:26:52It almost blew my wig off
00:26:54What are you talking about?
00:26:55There's nothing more exciting
00:26:57When someone opens their mouths
00:26:59and it comes out clear, strong, powerful.
00:27:04It was amazing.
00:27:05I love what you did.
00:27:06Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:08I remember early on when you were talking about
00:27:11what kind of artist you wanted to be,
00:27:13you wanted to occupy that pop rock space.
00:27:16And I love that you took this giant pop anthem
00:27:19and toughened it up a little bit.
00:27:21I love the gloves.
00:27:22I love the outfit.
00:27:24The second you walk out on stage, it's like,
00:27:27what's this girl about to do?
00:27:28And it's fun.
00:27:30You were having fun with it.
00:27:31Thank you, Carrie.
00:27:32Yeah, keep bringing the energy like that.
00:27:34I told Carrie, kind of whispered to her,
00:27:36I'm like, every time you're on stage,
00:27:38my eyes are just able to find you.
00:27:40When you walk out, you're like...
00:27:42Not the boot.
00:27:43It's you.
00:27:44No, it's not the boots.
00:27:45My eyes go to you, and that's what stars
00:27:48have to have happen to be a star.
00:27:50I just loved how you commanded it,
00:27:52and you're having fun in the moment.
00:27:54Thank you so much.
00:27:55I love the way that you let the stage
00:27:58know right out, like, y'all, hey, we're here to have fun.
00:28:00I'm going to need some help with y'all on this one.
00:28:02You're so you on stage.
00:28:03You have such a unique vibe.
00:28:05You did excellent.
00:28:06I was in the Pink Pony Club.
00:28:08Yes, Kareem.
00:28:09You're fabulous.
00:28:12And I got to say, you guys did a really good job
00:28:14helping me out on that.

00:28:58and his tribute to the one and only Lionel Richie.
00:29:02Idol is back in just a few minutes.
00:29:05Whoa.
00:29:12Well, here we are.
00:29:13Welcome back to American Idol,
00:29:14straight from the beautiful shore of Oahu.

00:29:27Daniel Stalworth is hoping you send some his way.
00:29:30Here he is with Brad and Kiki.
00:29:36I've heard a little bit about what you do, but tell us.
00:29:38So you are?
00:29:39I'm a schoolteacher, elementary music schoolteacher.
00:29:42So how old are the students?
00:29:43They are ages 4 to 11.
00:29:45Before I left, I had a student tell me,
00:29:47good luck, Mr. Stalworth.
00:29:48Oh, man, that's great.
00:29:49You are going to make it.
00:29:50Don't give up.
00:29:50Oh, my goodness.
00:29:52And that's my motto.
00:29:52Look at this little nose.
00:29:53That is great.
00:29:54Like the letter that his student left him,
00:29:56encouraging him on this.
00:29:57I have a soft spot in my heart for schoolteachers,
00:30:00my mother being one, and it's like to see a teacher
00:30:02where you know there's a school watching.
00:30:05I'm missing the kids at school for sure,
00:30:07but it's great to have some time to chase my dreams
00:30:09and just simply relax.
00:30:11I feel like a kid all over again.
00:30:14Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:30:16For this round, I'll be performing
00:30:18All Night Long by Lana Richie.
00:30:19That is bold.
00:30:20That's going for it.
00:30:22That is swinging for the fence.
00:30:23I chose that song because it's a party vibe.
00:30:25We're in Hawaii.
00:30:26I feel like that's the best song to fit the occasion.
00:30:29We're going to party, Karamu, fiesta, forever.
00:30:35It's a classic song.
00:30:36I don't know who doesn't love this song.
00:30:37I've never sung it live.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:39Well, I'm standing here in front of him.
00:30:40I'll just do it for the first time.
00:30:42All night long.
00:30:45It could be a tricky move doing All Night Long and Lionel.
00:30:48Yeah, that's the riskiest thing anybody's doing.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:52All night long.
00:30:58Yeah.
00:30:59Great voice.
00:31:00So this is like the first time I've heard an echo
00:31:02through here that somebody said.
00:31:04Are you going to acknowledge Lionel sitting there a little bit?
00:31:07Got to.
00:31:07You got to call Lionel out.
00:31:08I got to get him up.
00:31:08I got to get him up.
00:31:10I like that Daniel's not being afraid to acknowledge Lionel.
00:31:12If you need me to help you get Lionel up dancing,
00:31:15I'm going to be like.
00:31:16Singing this song is definitely a risk,
00:31:18but I would love to honor Lionel Richie.
00:31:21I definitely want to do this song justice.
00:31:38Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:31:44Raise the roof and have some fun.
00:31:47Way to go.
00:31:48Throw away the work to be done.
00:31:54Let the music play on.
00:31:59We're going to party, caramble, miesta, wherever.
00:32:05Come on, y'all.
00:32:05Come on, and sing it all.
00:32:08Come on, and sing it all.
00:32:08We're going to party, caramble, miesta, wherever.
00:32:15Come on, and sing it all.
00:32:17All night long.
00:32:20All night long.
00:32:24All night long.
00:32:33Come on, man.
00:32:46Come on, come on!
00:33:05Come on, come on!
00:33:08Yeah!
00:33:09Jambo jambo!
00:33:12Oh!
00:33:14Oh! Everyone you meet
00:33:16They're jamming in the street
00:33:18All night long
00:33:19All night
00:33:22I said, everyone you meet
00:33:25Jamming in the street
00:33:27All night long
00:33:29All night
00:33:31All night long
00:33:36All night long
00:33:38All night long
00:33:40All night long
00:33:43Oh!
00:33:44Oh, baby!
00:33:47He showed a different deal there.
00:33:50He showed a different deal.
00:33:53He showed a different deal.
00:33:54I'm gonna give a compliment
00:33:55that I've never said before.
00:33:57A lot of people will try
00:33:59to do that song.
00:34:00You took the song and made it yours.
00:34:04It was amazing.
00:34:06Now, I am telling you
00:34:09if you put that out tomorrow
00:34:11I'll spit it with you.
00:34:12You got it?
00:34:15Wow.
00:34:16Lionel, to that point you see people try and mimic you too much?
00:34:19Yeah, I mean, the problem is
00:34:20they try to sing it like I sing it.
00:34:22Yeah, yeah.
00:34:23He took it and just flipped it on his side
00:34:26and made it a totally new song.
00:34:29And I'm telling you, it was so refreshing.
00:34:33Props.
00:34:35Daniel, it was so good.
00:34:36I was sad it didn't last all night long.
00:34:40I loved it.
00:34:41And when we heard you do it yesterday,
00:34:42the vocals were great and it was the vibe,
00:34:44but seeing you with the band
00:34:45and the way that you were engaging with the audience,
00:34:47I mean, you saw us dancing, man.
00:34:48You brought it to life.
00:34:49It was excellent.
00:34:50Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:34:52Daniel, your voice is insane.
00:34:55It is amazing how you did really put yourself into it
00:34:59and you weren't trying to copy, you were trying to beat you.
00:35:02Exactly.
00:35:02And I could see you starting to loosen up a little bit.
00:35:05I want to encourage you to just loosen up even more.
00:35:09Don't think about so much what you're doing.
00:35:12Just have some fun with it.
00:35:14Keep getting looser.
00:35:15Thank you, thank you.
00:35:16You even had Luke's sore joints moving over there.
00:35:20He can barely, but look at that, he got going.
00:35:23Engage the core, engage the core.
00:35:25But Mr. Serious, that's what I'm going to start calling you.
00:35:28You are really, really serious about this,
00:35:30but what that performance just showed me is
00:35:32you might be the best singer in this competition.
00:35:37Luke!
00:35:38That's right.
00:35:38And so take that seriously, but not too seriously.
00:35:43Yes, sir.
00:35:43A couple months ago you were teaching kids in a classroom
00:35:47and now you're out here learning this whole new world.
00:35:51But you showed me a big old voice tonight.
00:35:53Big sign.

00:37:11I'm just having the time of my life.
00:37:13And of course, with all of you guys.
00:37:16Now, Carrie, I was just thinking about this.
00:37:17You're not the only one up there who got their start in the Idol family.
00:37:22Kiki auditioned for American Idol Juniors.
00:37:26What?
00:37:28I remember because I was hosting it.
00:37:31She was nine years old.
00:37:33What?
00:37:34And you know, Kiki, I happened to find the receipts.
00:37:38No!
00:37:39Watch what we have unearthed.
00:37:42No!
00:37:43What?
00:37:44So, Kiki, you're going to be a huge, huge star.
00:37:47No!
00:37:47I want to know what you're going to do with all your money.
00:37:50No, they did not.
00:37:51I'm going to get a house.
00:37:52I'm going to give some money to my parents.
00:37:55That's what they did to me for my life.
00:37:57And then I'm going to help them with their taxes.
00:38:01What would you say to your family?
00:38:03I would say, I love you, everybody.
00:38:05I'll never forget you.
00:38:06Not one bit.
00:38:07No matter what.
00:38:08And I won't change.
00:38:10Because you rock.
00:38:12That's amazing.
00:38:12Who are you?
00:38:15Now, watch this.
00:38:17Watch this.
00:38:19Watch this.
00:38:24What's that?
00:38:27What?
00:38:28Oh!
00:38:32Yo!
00:38:37Oh, my God.
00:38:38That's so good.
00:38:43Oh!
00:38:43Thank you, darling.
00:38:45Oh, my God!
00:38:46Oh, my gosh!
00:38:47You guys!
00:38:47Oh, my gosh!
00:38:49You guys!
00:38:52Dad!
00:38:53You guys!
00:38:54Where did you dig that up?
00:38:57Well, it was difficult.
00:38:58But we found it about an hour ago.
00:39:03You were destined to be a star.
00:39:04Absolutely.
00:39:04That was absolutely magical when we saw you there.
00:39:07Oh, my goodness.
00:39:09Ryan, why did you pick me back then?
00:39:11I wasn't in charge, and I'm still not.
00:39:16Hey, Chris, I do think you know that song that she was dancing to there in the audition.
00:39:21Could you just maybe show these three what it's like to have some rhythm?
00:39:25Come on, now.
00:39:28Hey!
00:39:34Woo!
00:39:35Let's go, Lionel.
00:39:37Let's go.
00:39:38Let's get it, girl!
00:39:39Hey!
00:39:40Hey!
00:39:40Hey!
00:39:42Oh!
00:39:43I saw one of these.
00:39:45Come on!
00:39:51Let's go, Lionel.
00:39:52Let's go, Lionel.
00:39:52Thank you, Lionel.
00:39:53Thank you, Lionel.
00:39:55Kiki Palm, everybody.
00:39:58So good, honey.
00:40:00So insane.
00:40:01Oh, my God.
00:40:02All right.
00:40:03Up next, in starting her own idol journey, is Nashville, Tennessee's Kindle.
00:40:08Here we go.
00:40:13We're dark funny.
00:40:14I still don't have words for it.
00:40:16I'm so grateful to be here.
00:40:18That was so cool.
00:40:19And I got the platinum ticket.
00:40:21The industry platinum ticket goes to Kindle.
00:40:32Having the industry people choose me, I'm just honored.
00:40:36It shows me that I'm supposed to be here.
00:40:39This round, I am singing a Noah Kahn song called Call Your Mom.
00:40:43Oh, your spike rolling again.
00:40:46I'm kind of struggling with whether I'm going to use the guitar or not use the guitar.
00:40:50So you play the guitar?
00:40:52I do play the guitar.
00:40:53Right.
00:40:53But I really want to be able to get into a performance side.
00:40:56For this performance, I very much want to be open and vulnerable.
00:41:00Let it out and let it in.
00:41:03I really resonate with this song in the sense that...
00:41:06Don't let this start.
00:41:09I, myself, have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole entire life.
00:41:14We're late.
00:41:15I think we're all struggling, you know, at different times with the little enemy.
00:41:19I'll drive, I'll drive all night.
00:41:23I liked you without the guitar.
00:41:25What you did standing there was so vulnerable.
00:41:27How are you feeling?
00:41:28You're somewhere still in between.
00:41:29I'm going to take your guys' advice.
00:41:30I'm going to get on the stage.
00:41:31I'm going to not play the guitar.
00:41:33I think that'll be really magic.
00:41:35I'm just hoping that by the end of it,
00:41:37those who may be questioning whether they should keep going or not, do.
00:41:50Oh, you're spiraling again.
00:41:56The moment right before it ends, you're most afraid of.
00:42:02Stayed on the line with you the entire night till you let it out and let it in.
00:42:12Don't let this darkness fool you.
00:42:18All lights turned off can be turned on.
00:42:24I'll drive, I'll drive all night.
00:42:29I'll call your mom.
00:42:34Medicate, meditate, swear your soul to Jesus.
00:42:39Throw up high and fall in love.
00:42:42Give yourself a reason.
00:42:45Don't want to drive another mile.
00:42:48Wondering if you're breathing.
00:42:51Won't you stay, won't you stay, won't you stay with me?
00:42:56Medicate, meditate.
00:42:58It's where you're so good.
00:43:00This is our voice.
00:43:32I'll drive, I'll drive, I'll call your mom.
00:43:50There she is.
00:43:51The winner of our industry platinum ticket, Kendall.
00:43:55Way to go.
00:43:56And the industry is still here.
00:43:58They just extended their stage.
00:44:02So nice to see you.
00:44:04Let's go to the panel.
00:44:05Kiki, what did you see?
00:44:07You look beautiful.
00:44:08You sound beautiful.
00:44:10The bob is bobbing.
00:44:11OK?
00:44:12And I'm so glad that you decided not to do the guitar,
00:44:15because to see those hands free and just watching you kind
00:44:18of embody the whole vibe of the song,
00:44:20we went right there with you.
00:44:21You transported us into your world, and I loved it there.
00:44:27Very good.
00:44:27The second you start singing, it is impossible to turn away.
00:44:33Wow.
00:44:33Like, it's impossible to take your eyes off of you.
00:44:37The way you just were free in all of it, putting your hands in the air.
00:44:42I'm not sure I breathed while you were singing.
00:44:45It was beautiful.
00:44:46Thank you so much.
00:44:47Wow.
00:44:49No matter what you sing, whether you write the song or it's someone else's,
00:44:53you present it like an artist presents it.
00:44:57That cry in your voice is just so intoxicating to listen to.
00:45:02And I'm with Carrie on that.
00:45:04I was just like hanging on every word.
00:45:06And you are an artist, a big time artist.
00:45:08Thank you, Lou.
00:45:09Thank you so much.
00:45:12The delivery was perfect.
00:45:14You just delivered the sermon really, I'm telling you.
00:45:17It was one of those very powerful performances.
00:45:21I love it.
00:45:22Thank you so much.
00:45:23Thank you, guys.
00:45:24If you love Kindle, you can vote for her right now.

00:45:37Kindle, everyone.
00:45:37Great job.
00:45:38Thank you so much for that signature song.
00:45:40We'll see you later.
00:45:44Now, we've got more music on the way, and it's coming from Alabama's Cutter Bradley,
00:45:49right here at Disney's Alani Resort.
00:45:51The Cutter fans are out.
00:45:54Oh, my gosh.
00:45:56Oh, my God.
00:45:58Kendall, you nailed it.
00:46:00You nailed it.
00:46:02I am so proud of you.
00:46:04You are a flipping star.
00:46:07You are a star.
00:46:08Yes, you are.
00:46:16Looking good.
00:46:17You're back on American Idol.
00:46:19It's our annual visit here to Alani at Disney Resort and Spa in Koalina, Hawaii.
00:46:24And the top 20 have been soaking up all there is to do and making memories along the way.
00:46:29Take a look at this, right?
00:46:34To be here after a 12-hour flight from New York, where it's currently snowing, it feels incredible.
00:46:43This is the first time I've ever been to Hawaii.
00:46:45The weather obviously is much nicer than it is in Missouri.
00:46:47There's about a foot of snow there.
00:46:49I feel like this is the most beautiful place on the planet.
00:46:53The vibes here have been relaxing.
00:46:56We're on the beach.
00:46:57We're in great weather.
00:46:58We're having fun.
00:46:58But also, we're here with 20 of my friends.
00:47:01Made a lot of memories with friends.
00:47:02We're having a blast.
00:47:05Paradise is an understatement.
00:47:10I still gotta get in that lazy river.
00:47:12Gotta get in on that.
00:47:13By the way, you want it?
00:47:14Are you down?
00:47:15I'm ready to go.
00:47:16Okay.
00:47:16I'm ready.
00:47:17Matching bathing suits, Lionel, you and me.
00:47:19Oh, no, no.
00:47:19What, what?
00:47:20Now let's see how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer helped Cutter Bradley on his epic Daughtry song pick.
00:47:26Here it is.
00:47:29This is the first long flight in good grief.
00:47:33Total hours was probably like 12.
00:47:35I've never been anywhere like this, especially not Hawaii.
00:47:39And it is way prettier than the pictures.
00:47:42The atmosphere is awesome.
00:47:43The people are great.
00:47:44We got Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and all them.
00:47:47They're having a good time.
00:47:48It is Mickey!
00:47:49What's up, dude?
00:47:50I'm in the top 20 on American Idol.
00:47:52Can you believe that?
00:47:53I remember this for the rest of my life.
00:47:56I was blown away.
00:47:58What could I say?
00:48:00I'm singing It's Not Over by Daughtry.
00:48:02When I was real little, my dad got me a mp3 player and he loaded that thing on with the
00:48:07music he listened to.
00:48:08You know, everything from Daughtry to old 70s rock and stuff.
00:48:12I really fell in love with Chris Daughtry and just how he performs and carries himself.
00:48:17Wow!
00:48:17Cause yeah, I guess when Daughtry was on American Idol, which was like two years old.
00:48:21Yeah, I was three actually.
00:48:23Definitely one of my biggest inspirations and I would love to take the path he took.
00:48:28It's not over!
00:48:30So I'll be performing without a guitar, so I'm going to try to not be nervous this round.
00:48:35So you usually play guitar?
00:48:37I usually play guitar.
00:48:38Can we have the mic?
00:48:39Are you going to hold it?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:40Maybe you were just in it, so you're not thinking.
00:48:43Your hand was kind of here and you were doing this.
00:48:45Oh, interesting.
00:48:46And it was just this, you know.
00:48:47Yes.
00:48:48So now you've got a mic and this hand is free to...
00:48:51Do whatever.
00:48:52Enunciate.
00:48:52That's right.
00:48:52Whatever it is.
00:48:55Start over and try to do it right this time around.
00:48:59I just kept looking at that hand thinking, this is a guy who's not used to not to doing this.
00:49:03And sure enough, that was true.
00:49:05Guys like me that play the guitar when first time that you're like, you're going to just sing this this
00:49:09evening with a microphone.
00:49:10It's like, what do I do with my hands?
00:49:12I look ridiculous if I don't really figure out what I'm going to do.
00:49:16As long as he can do that, I think he's going to be fine because the voice is there.
00:49:21You're going to be great, man.
00:51:13But you're the only one
00:51:15It's not over
00:51:28There he is
00:51:30Well done
00:51:32Flashback Daughtry
00:51:33Man, spending time with him
00:51:35Seeing you do that so many years later
00:51:37Your dad headbanging down there
00:51:40In the audience
00:51:40He was singing along as well
00:51:42He was listening in stereo there
00:51:46Judges, what did you think? Lionel Richie
00:51:48Well, I'll tell you what I was listening to
00:51:49Carrie didn't miss not one note
00:51:52Not one lyric
00:51:54Okay, and between that
00:51:56And your dad headbanging
00:51:57What the heck is going on around here
00:52:00You were familiar with that
00:52:02I got right away that that was
00:52:04In your wheelhouse
00:52:05You were very, very in pocket
00:52:07And it showed
00:52:08Really great
00:52:11I agree with Lionel
00:52:12It was just so good to see you lose yourself on stage
00:52:15Like seeing you perform it yesterday
00:52:16It was great
00:52:17We had the vibe
00:52:18But with the band
00:52:19And the element going
00:52:20I can see you just embodying it
00:52:22And this is definitely your lane
00:52:23For sure
00:52:23Boom
00:52:24Thank you so much
00:52:25Your lane is
00:52:27That's the perfect way to put it
00:52:29I feel like it was such a smart song choice for you
00:52:31You know, you're Cutter Bradley
00:52:33You're like our country kind of rock guy
00:52:35And I feel like that song just like fit perfectly
00:52:38I encourage you to just keep getting comfortable
00:52:41Keep entertaining
00:52:42You're exactly where you're supposed to be
00:52:44Doing what you're supposed to be doing
00:52:48Remember to breathe, Cutter
00:52:49Remember to breathe
00:52:51There was a couple times I was like
00:52:53The boy's running out of air
00:52:54But I tell you what's really endearing about you
00:52:58Is you are that guy that's going to relate to all the dudes
00:53:03And, you know, we're throwing a lot of different stuff at you
00:53:06Keep trusting your gut with the songs that you know
00:53:09And want to perform
00:53:10And you're getting better and better with every performance
00:53:13A lot of energy on that one
00:53:15And be very proud of it
00:53:16I love it
00:53:16Thank you so much
00:53:17Thank you
00:53:20So cool comic collected
00:53:22So growing up, you and Dad would listen to that in the car?

00:53:26Me and Dad would be bumping that all the way down the road
00:53:28Anywhere we're going, we're bumping it
00:53:29Was he driving and taking his head to him?
00:53:31Oh yeah

00:53:33But, you know

00:54:52Kiki Hadford college student
00:54:53Jesse Finling
00:54:57Aloha
00:54:58De komo mai
00:55:00Di Aulani ku'u home
00:55:04Welcome to Aulani, everybody
00:55:05Right this way
00:55:08My family is my biggest support system
00:55:10Being able to like have that moment
00:55:12To be with them
00:55:12And do something fun
00:55:14Like the treasure hunt experience
00:55:15Was really special to me
00:55:16Looks like me in the morning
00:55:17My mom and dad went on their honeymoon here
00:55:20They've always said that they
00:55:21Were going to come back someday
00:55:23And for me to be the reason why they are
00:55:25You know it makes my heart happy
00:55:27Nice to meet you
00:55:29Being in the top 20 is surreal
00:55:32I've never really stood in front of a mic
00:55:35And performed in front of like a whole crowd
00:55:36But I'm really pushing myself this time
00:55:38To come out of my comfort zone
00:55:40Just knowing that America is going to be voting
00:55:42That's another thing that I have to think about
00:55:45Which is why I chose this round
00:55:46To not just be by the mic stand
00:55:48And move around
00:55:49Lost and insecure
00:55:52I'm singing You Found Me by The Fray
00:55:55It's about being lost and insecure
00:55:56It's something that I connect to
00:55:59You found me
00:56:04When I was little
00:56:05Having a stutter made me introverted
00:56:08There's been times where I felt lost
00:56:11I was more of a shy kid
00:56:12And kind of anxious
00:56:13I've always said
00:56:14I don't know if it's just being in Hawaii
00:56:15It was a lot more gritty
00:56:17Than it has been in the past
00:56:18I don't think you're made or broken
00:56:20By anything being exactly right
00:56:23Be a little imperfect
00:56:24In a good way
00:56:25Yeah
00:56:25American Idol has been
00:56:27One of the best journeys of my life
00:56:29With each round
00:56:30I've gotten so much more confident in myself
00:56:33And it's like going to the
00:56:35Come on, Liv
00:56:35Yes
00:56:38I think have fun out there
00:56:39And you're going to nail this
00:56:40I think it's ironic
00:56:41That I'm singing a song
00:56:42About being lost and insecure
00:56:43In a moment
00:56:44Where I feel like found
00:56:46And like the best I ever have
00:56:48Yeah, I'm proud of myself
00:56:58I found God
00:57:01On the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:04Where the West
00:57:08Was all but one
00:57:11Where were you
00:57:14When everything was falling apart
00:57:18All my days
00:57:21Was spent by a telephone
00:57:24That never rang
00:57:27And all I needed was a phone
00:57:30That never came
00:57:33To the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:38Lost and insecure
00:57:41You found me
00:57:44You found me
00:57:46You found me
00:57:46Lying on the floor
00:57:49Surrounded
00:57:50Surrounded
00:57:52Surrounded
00:57:52While you have to wait
00:57:54You found me
00:57:57You found me
00:58:09You found me
00:58:13You found me
00:58:15You never sent me
00:58:17No messages
00:58:18You never sent me
00:58:20No letters
00:58:21You got some kind of nerve
00:58:36You found me, you found me lying on the floor
00:58:43Where were you?
00:58:47Oh, you found me, why'd you have to wait?
00:59:01You found me?
00:59:19I think we can just go to the voting right now after something like that and chanting.
00:59:27Take a look at four judges on their feet.
00:59:31In the beginning, those first couple of notes, I said, now what's going on?
00:59:34You know, I wasn't sure what we were headed, but obviously we all feel a little nerves
00:59:38and you've been singing, you've been rehearsing, but I saw you find it.
00:59:42As soon as you grabbed that mic and you came forward and you lost yourself in the song,
00:59:46everything after that was perfection, and you closed it in very strong, and that long note,
00:59:53I'm just saying.
00:59:54Boy, I got the mic in my hand.
00:59:55Boy, you got the mic in your hand.
00:59:56Appreciate it.
00:59:57I, for one, kind of love that the beginning was a little shaky because you've been so polished
01:00:05and perfect this whole time.
01:00:07It kind of reminded us all that you're human, and the way that you, like, shook it off and
01:00:13sunk into the song, I mean, that's the most, you know, movement we've seen from you, and
01:00:19it was working, it was wonderful, and the end was just absolutely soaring.
01:00:26Thank you so much.
01:00:27I found myself, like, moving to the edge of my seat, I was like, all right, Jesse, where
01:00:33you at, baby?
01:00:33Where you at?
01:00:34There you are.
01:00:35I can settle back down.
01:00:36And I remember I used to get in moments on stage and I look around and I'd be like, oh,
01:00:42my God, how did I get here?
01:00:43Those emotions are fun to have to battle and battle back, and that's what you did.
01:00:48As the song kept building and the band, you showed us stuff you haven't showed us with
01:00:53your voice thus far.
01:01:06That's right.
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:08I mean, that's how you get the crowd to go right to you.
01:01:13That was fantastic.
01:01:14Thanks a lot.
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:16And you sing now for your mom, that's one of her favorite songs.
01:01:19My mom loves the phrase, she's right over there, one of her favorite songs, so I'm glad
01:01:23I got to sing that for her and for my family.

01:01:49Get ready for Hannah Harper.
01:01:51She's sitting at the Iowa stage next here at Disney's Pilates Resort.
01:01:55Stay with us.
01:01:56Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, Jesse!
01:02:06Welcome back to the ever-magical Disney's Aulani Resort for our very first voting show
01:02:11of the season.
01:02:12We're so excited to have Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer teamed up to mentor the top 20.
01:02:16Here's what unfolded with Missouri's Hannah Harper.
01:02:21I think it'll be surreal to be up on the stage and see my kids.
01:02:25All of it feels like a dream to be able to share this with them.
01:02:28Everyone's so happy to be here.
01:02:30They got their hair a whole bunch of different colors and it was all crazy and fun.
01:02:33I love it.
01:02:34They got tatted up.
01:02:35Oh, my gosh.
01:02:36And had a meet and greet with Mickey.
01:02:38It was a sweet experience.
01:02:39I'm just soaking it all in.
01:02:42Hey, Hannah.
01:02:44What's up?
01:02:44Hi.
01:02:44What's up, girl?
01:02:45Ohana Ram was incredible.
01:02:47It was really exciting, but also terrifying.
01:02:49I would have loved to see you throw your hands up there and just let it out.
01:02:53I'm not used to not having my guitar in my hands.
01:02:55Right.
01:02:55Get in the habit of opening up.
01:02:57This time, I wanted to do the same thing from the last round and put the guitar down.
01:03:01I'm having a hard time getting out of my body.
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:03And especially bluegrass.
01:03:04You stand in one spot, you do your thing, and then you walk off the stage.
01:03:06Yeah, of course.
01:03:07You're kind of challenging yourself.
01:03:08I love to hear that.
01:03:09100%.
01:03:09I'm scared, y'all.
01:03:11Don't be.
01:03:11Don't be scared.
01:03:12To be more comfortable in my body.
01:03:13That's my goal for the next round.
01:03:15Oh, fear is a tyrant with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:03:20Your voice is everything I love about this style of music.
01:03:25Instead of maybe thinking to yourself about, I got to move around the stage, more so think
01:03:28about, I got to get the folks engaged.
01:03:30Midway through mentoring, my kids stepped in.
01:03:33Getting to have that moment with my family just to breathe for a second calms all your
01:03:36anxiety, you know?
01:03:38Captives free, there ain't no grave.
01:03:42It was beautiful to just see how she came alive.
01:03:45She grew up in a family band.
01:03:46It makes sense why that opened her up a little bit more.
01:03:48Could hold his body down.
01:03:52She's definitely seasoned, but I think she's feeling like, how do I do what I do on a show
01:03:57like this?
01:03:58Look for your family in the audience.
01:04:00Capture the feeling that you have when they're up there with you.
01:04:02Look at them, I'll cry.
01:04:03But ain't nothing wrong with crying.
01:04:05The entire journey through all of this, I'm having to just constantly peel layers off.
01:04:10I hope that I'm showing my boys that no matter how old they are, be open to learning and
01:04:15to just be resilient.
01:04:26Oh, fear is a tide with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:04:32Fear is alive, he's always telling me to run.
01:04:37Oh, love is a resurrection.
01:04:40Love is a trumpet sound.
01:04:43Love is my weapon.
01:04:46I'm gonna take that giant down.
01:04:54Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life.
01:05:00And there on the tree, the Lamb of God was crucified.
01:05:06Then he went on down to hell, took back every key.
01:05:12He rose up as a lion, and he set all captives free.
01:05:17There ain't no way to hold his body down.
01:05:26Oh, no.
01:05:28There ain't no brain to hold his body down.
01:05:46There ain't no brain.
01:05:50Oh, no.
01:05:52There ain't no brain to hold him down.
01:05:56Oh, no.
01:06:00There ain't no brain to hold his body down.
01:06:07down.
01:06:11Mmm.
01:06:15Yeah!
01:06:22It's over.
01:06:23You did it.
01:06:24Feel good?
01:06:25Feel good.
01:06:26She delivered.
01:06:27See, here's the whole point.
01:06:28See, when you can actually be the storyteller, and then sometimes in the middle of that performance,
01:06:34you went from singing to preaching.
01:06:36Yes, sir.
01:06:37I mean, what I'm saying to you is at that point, when you see everybody going, okay, that means
01:06:44we're listening.
01:06:45And you got our attention.
01:06:47You did a great job.
01:06:47Thank you so much.
01:06:48I appreciate it.
01:06:49First of all, everybody performs different.
01:06:52I think that's the big part of this competition, right, is like not doing what you think you
01:06:55should do, really embodying what you bring to the stage, and that's what you did.
01:07:00You don't have to do what nobody do, because when you start singing, girl, and you was
01:07:03commanding to us, we were locked in.
01:07:06It was excellent.
01:07:08Thank you so much.
01:07:09It was very moving.
01:07:09Very moving.
01:07:11I think you started a new genre, resurrection rock.
01:07:15Okay, I'm here for it.
01:07:17I love the whole performance.
01:07:18I think your voice is so listenable.
01:07:21It's so easy on the ears.
01:07:23And then, finally, we see you get a little more power behind that voice.
01:07:28So, you're showing me you're ready to branch out and grow.
01:07:31Definitely my favorite performance I've seen you do.
01:07:34Wow.
01:07:35I appreciate it.
01:07:37Great song choice.
01:07:38Your voice gave me chills the entire time.
01:07:41We got a glimpse of like a fire that is in you, that I feel like the more you go
01:07:48through this
01:07:49whole process, I hope to see more of.
01:07:53You remind me a lot of myself when I was on the show.
01:07:57Wow.
01:07:57When I would be on stage, I'd be like, I'd look out.
01:08:01I'd be like, what are you doing out there, hand?
01:08:02Like, what's going on?
01:08:04Why are you pointing?
01:08:05And all of a sudden, it's like things would kind of start falling apart because I would
01:08:09start thinking about what I was doing.
01:08:11Try not to.
01:08:12Just tell the story.
01:08:13There you go.
01:08:13And don't worry about what any of this is doing because I feel like we got some glimpses
01:08:17of that.
01:08:18And it's awesome.
01:08:19Very good.
01:08:19So, keep at it.
01:08:20Thank you so much.
01:08:21I appreciate it.
01:08:23You can vote for Hannah Harper right now online by texting.

01:08:43We have got more amazing performances on the horizon from all your Idol standouts,
01:08:48including Brandon Rumpfelt.
01:08:50He's got love on the brain for you right after this.
01:08:58Welcome back to the show.
01:09:01Tonight's 10 finalists have been leaving it all on the stage for you in the hopes of earning
01:09:05your votes at home.
01:09:06Keep them rolling in for who you want to see in your top 14.
01:09:10Perhaps it's Murphy, North Carolina's Braden Rumpfelt, maybe?
01:09:16Been singing a long time?
01:09:17Since I was able to speak.
01:09:18Yeah.
01:09:19Professionally or just in church?
01:09:20My dad's a pastor.
01:09:21My dad's a kid.
01:09:22Look at us.
01:09:23We turned out all right.
01:09:24Right, little PKs.
01:09:25Yeah, right.
01:09:25I'll be singing Love on the Brain this round by Rihanna.
01:09:28My girlfriend suggested that I do this song.
01:09:31And you got me like, oh, what you want from me?
01:09:41Brayden, Brayden, Brayden.
01:09:43Yeah, man.
01:09:43He blew me away.
01:09:44I mean.
01:09:46Baby, you got me like, oh.
01:09:50That's maybe my favorite thing about this show is the person that walks out and you just
01:09:55go, wait a minute.
01:09:56No way that's happening.
01:09:58I don't really know what to do on stage.
01:10:00Like, I'll move around and stuff, but it's just kind of stuff that I've seen on the internet.
01:10:03You don't have to worry about anything you're doing.
01:10:08No, you don't.
01:10:09Just stay right there and do that.
01:10:11Like, just do that.
01:10:14This is my first time in Hawaii and it's also my family's first time.
01:10:18It's awesome.
01:10:19My Ohana song, me and my brother played together.
01:10:21I mean, he's right there with me through everything.
01:10:23You know, you're my ride or die, like, safety net.
01:10:26Because if I mess up, like, you're right there.
01:10:28Seeing you do what you've always wanted to do.
01:10:30Sharing that experience with it, I don't, there's not a better film.
01:10:33Yeah, yeah.
01:10:34Now I think it's time for me to push myself and chase this dream on my own.
01:10:39That smooth fire.
01:10:40I want to make it as far in this competition as I can.
01:10:44I'm going to try and win it.
01:10:51And you got me like, oh, what you want from me.
01:10:59What you want from me.
01:11:00And I tried to buy your pretty heart but the price was too high.
01:11:06Baby, you got me like, oh, you love when I fall apart.
01:11:15Fall apart.
01:11:16So you can put me together and throw me against the wall.
01:11:24And baby, I'm fish fine with fire just to get close.
01:11:31Can we burn something, baby?
01:11:34And I'll run for miles just to get a taste.
01:11:44That's got me feeling this way.
01:11:48It beats me black and blue, but it loves me so good.
01:11:53And I can't get enough.
01:11:55Must be love on the brain
01:12:00And it keeps cursing my name
01:12:03Cursing my name
01:12:04No matter what I do
01:12:07I'm no good without you
01:12:09And I can't get enough
01:12:11You got me like I
01:12:17I
01:12:20Don't you stop loving me
01:12:22Don't quit loving me
01:12:24Just start loving me
01:12:27Must be love
01:12:32Must be love
01:12:36Don't stop loving me
01:12:38Don't quit loving me
01:12:40Oh, I can't get enough
01:12:44Must be love
01:12:48Hold on
01:12:50You're the lady
01:12:59That was so sweet
01:13:02That was so sweet
01:13:02Oh, that was so sweet
01:13:20and you have like this aw shucks thing about you
01:13:22that just makes people just like you.
01:13:25You're so likable and you're so stinking good.
01:13:28You guys, we did a really good job picking the top 20.
01:13:32Steve, come on.
01:13:33That's right.
01:13:34Steve, come on.
01:13:37Yeah, that was the thing.
01:13:38I mean, when you start singing, you're like, whoa, what is that?
01:13:41And now I think we just got to get you to build on it
01:13:44and build on it and get some swagger
01:13:46and even more and more confidence.
01:13:48The best way to know what you're doing is look at the girls
01:13:51and Kiki was about to fall out of her chair over here.
01:13:55She had ants in her pants.
01:13:56Come on.
01:13:57That's kind of important in the music business.
01:13:59Right, Lionel?
01:14:00Absolutely.
01:14:03Understand, man, you've got this instrument
01:14:05and use it to your advantage and work the room
01:14:08and just keep delivering from the time the song starts
01:14:11till it ends.
01:14:13Just slay, slay, slay.
01:14:15Slay.
01:14:15I have never in my eight and a half years of this show
01:14:22called for a check on Ancestry.com.
01:14:28Whoever they say you are, you are not.
01:14:33That was so soulful, it scared me to death.
01:14:42Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:14:44I love watching you in your flow state, okay?
01:14:47You understand.
01:14:48You strolling across that stage.
01:14:50You know.
01:14:50It was golden, man.
01:14:51I mean, I love your voice.
01:14:52It's beautiful.
01:14:53You went high, you went low, you was in the chest,
01:14:55you was in the hair voice.
01:14:56I could tell that you love it.
01:14:58And that makes me happy.
01:15:00It made all of us happy.
01:15:01It was amazing.
01:15:02Amazing.
01:15:02Thanks, thank you.

01:15:22I like yours, too.
01:15:23Nice cup.
01:15:27He's happy.
01:15:28We've got one more tonight from Vizzi's Outlawan Inn Resort,
01:15:32and it's coming from the Ohana Platinum Ticket winner, Brooks.
01:15:35See what he's chosen from the big moment on American Idol.
01:15:39Right after this.
01:15:42Yeah!
01:15:54All right.
01:15:54Thanks for spending your Monday evening with us.
01:15:57We hope you've been enjoying the show as much
01:15:58as we've been enjoying our time here at Aulani.
01:16:01We've got one more for you tonight.
01:16:03A few weeks ago, he was working as a dementia care technician
01:16:07back in Maryland.
01:16:08Now, he's in your top 20, getting expert advice
01:16:11from Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer.
01:16:13Here is Brooks.
01:16:16Somebody said, got a new friend.
01:16:21I'm doing dancing on my own.
01:16:23Does she love you better than I can?
01:16:29You are really angelic, right?
01:16:34Unbelievable, Tom.
01:16:36So unique.
01:16:37Oh my gosh!
01:16:39That voice!
01:16:40I've always had trouble fitting in.
01:16:42I grew up keeping everything in,
01:16:44and I never told anyone anything.
01:16:46I was never vulnerable.
01:16:47So this whole song is just going to be me
01:16:50looking back at my younger self
01:16:51and growing into the man I am now.
01:16:53Your favorite experience on American Idol so far?
01:16:56Waterside.
01:16:57Hello, baby!
01:16:59Being here, I feel like I was invited into something.
01:17:02I'm not alone anymore.
01:17:04I've made so many good friends here,
01:17:05and it's really just beautiful.
01:17:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:09Brooks' song choice was difficult.
01:17:11I'm giving it more.
01:17:13I do want to look at the first line of each course.
01:17:16Yeah, there was a really high note in there.
01:17:17Yeah, it's imperative that he doesn't miss that tonight.
01:17:21I do think that could derail him.
01:17:23When you're doing it, what do you think it's missing?
01:17:26Are you missing air?
01:17:27I think confidence.
01:17:29I think it's just confidence, yeah.
01:17:30Confidence is about doing what's true to us.
01:17:33If you need to adjust, adjust.
01:17:36It's your range.
