TVTranscript
00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I'm just incapable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:15Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44This is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:50Front Row
00:01:52You should be very proud of how far you've come
00:01:57But for now, your journey
00:02:02It's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back Row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:15So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap.
00:02:21How did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survive the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round
00:02:31when the judges review all the performances
00:02:33in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:37It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end.
00:02:41And I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week,
00:02:54you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours
00:03:06coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing,
00:03:11but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger, when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:26I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:30The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32and now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me
00:03:55So I can be far too ashamed
00:04:02To do it with you watching me
00:04:06Please stay where you are
00:04:11Don't come any closer
00:04:15Don't try to change my mind
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark
00:04:32It feels like we're oceans apart
00:04:43There's so much space between us
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated
00:04:54Look at that control
00:04:56Everything changed me
00:05:02We're not the only ones
00:05:05I don't regret a thing
00:05:07Every word I've said
00:05:09You know I'll always be
00:05:11It is the world to me
00:05:14That you are in my life
00:05:16I want to live and not just survive
00:05:27That's why I can't love you in the dark
00:06:08There's so many things I want to say that I was trying to kick you out of the room because
00:06:12I'm so jealous of you
00:06:13But your first note, Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere
00:06:18No kidding
00:06:19And what a pro dynamic of singing
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life right now to be discovered on this platform
00:06:29And I'm so excited to see your future
00:06:32Thank you, Bill
00:06:33Thank you
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result
00:06:40The spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls
00:06:43Including 29-year-old singer-songwriter
00:06:47Kendall Inskeep
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage, it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable
00:06:52So it's such a challenge to speak because you only have one shot
00:06:55To really be authentic to who you are
00:06:59I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church
00:07:04And we would sing together
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from is my mom
00:07:09I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville
00:07:13And actually came to Belmont
00:07:14Came here for maybe 60 days
00:07:17But we are still alumni
00:07:18And we're here for only 60 days
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers
00:07:25The song is a little bit more lively
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand
00:07:29So it's not really in my comfort zone
00:07:32Um, how are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy
00:07:35You're nervous?
00:07:36I get that a little bit
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity for me to really show
00:07:41I can also be free-spirited and fun and joyful in my performance
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage
00:07:52Okay
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:07:59When the call came down to wind
00:08:02Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:06I was broad but I was kind
00:08:11Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:20Clear your heart
00:08:24Cut the cord
00:08:26Are we human?
00:08:30Or are we dead, sir?
00:08:34My sign is vital
00:08:36My hands are cold
00:08:40And I'm on my knees
00:08:43Looking for the answer
00:08:46Are we human?
00:08:50Or are we dancers?
00:08:55Will your sister be alright
00:08:58When you held me down the line
00:09:02There's no message we're receiving
00:09:05Don't you know it's in your heart beating?
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Are we dancers?
00:09:18Are we dancers?
00:09:19My sign is vital
00:09:21My hands are cold
00:09:25And I'm on my knees
00:09:28Looking for the answer
00:09:31Are we human?
00:09:33Or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we dancers?
00:09:43Or are we dancers?
00:09:52Thank you
00:09:56You got such a cool voice, Kendall
00:09:58Thank you so much
00:09:59And I love how this time you switched it up
00:10:01And you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03That you know
00:10:04It was a lot more energetic
00:10:06And you felt comfortable in both spaces
00:10:08So I think you should be really proud of that
00:10:11Thank you so much
00:10:12I love it
00:10:14I love it
00:10:15That voice
00:10:15Oh my god
00:10:17It's cool
00:10:17And she's comfortable
00:10:18She's so comfortable
00:10:21I can
00:10:21I'm gonna cry
00:10:23Because
00:10:25I'm gonna cry
00:10:26Because I just
00:10:27Like was so nervous
00:10:29Going on
00:10:30I'm very happy
00:10:31With the way that that just went
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie
00:10:37To see if they've done enough
00:10:38To survive
00:10:39The first round of cuts
00:10:41Would the following people
00:10:42Please step forward
00:10:45Jessie
00:10:47Kendall
00:10:50You are still in the running
00:10:52To become the next American Idol
00:10:59No

00:12:05In Music City
00:12:06Is exciting
00:12:07And it's drama
00:12:08And it's stressful
00:12:09It's very difficult
00:12:10Because we got to get rid
00:12:12Of so many wonderful kids
00:12:13But I'm telling you
00:12:14We're finding stars

00:12:20So my nerves
00:12:21Are definitely
00:12:22Definitely up now
00:12:24I never would have thought
00:12:25I would be
00:12:26Right here
00:12:27Ever
00:12:27It's just
00:12:28Kind of a dream
00:12:29That I don't realize
00:12:30That I'm living
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity
00:12:32For me
00:12:32Coming to the stage
00:12:33Here's Cutter Bradley
00:12:36I've moved away from home
00:12:37To do this dream
00:12:38Kind of left everything behind
00:12:40And so I want to stay
00:12:42Really bad
00:12:49I woke up in my booze
00:12:52This morning
00:12:53I fell asleep in my booze
00:12:57Last night
00:12:58I had a feeling
00:13:00That I run out of my hands
00:13:03Well girl
00:13:04I couldn't have been more around
00:13:09And I woke up in my booze
00:13:11This morning
00:13:13I fell asleep in my booze
00:13:16Last night
00:13:17And I knew I wouldn't have to take
00:13:19The time putting them back on
00:13:20When I'm sober
00:13:21Yeah I knew you'd be pissed off over me
00:13:24And I'd just be hungover
00:13:26And I didn't need to take them off
00:13:31I woke up in my booze
00:13:34This morning
00:13:41Thank you
00:13:42Thank you
00:13:42I feel like you've got
00:13:44Like a solid voice
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range
00:13:47You were like a lion
00:13:49Like pacing back and forth
00:13:50Like getting ready to like
00:13:52Bust out of the cage
00:13:53Easy
00:13:53Easy
00:13:54It was good
00:13:55Slow down
00:13:56Slow down
00:13:56Slow down
00:13:56It was good
00:13:57It was good
00:13:57Thank you
00:13:58Thank you
00:14:02This microphone is revealing
00:14:04A lot of singers
00:14:10So happy to be here
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas
00:14:14I'm going to be singing
00:14:16I'm going to be singing
00:14:17I Can't Make You Love Me
00:14:18By Bonnie Raitt
00:14:19Good song
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol
00:14:21Because I want to show that
00:14:24Your story
00:14:24Your pain
00:14:25Can be used to be your greatest power
00:14:27Absolutely
00:14:28Thank you
00:14:31Well I feel really really lucky to be here in Hollywood week
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here
00:14:39Welcome back
00:14:40Thank you
00:14:41Last year I wasn't able to experience this round
00:14:45Because of my mental health
00:14:47You were born enough
00:14:50I feel proud of myself
00:14:52For making it here
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing
00:14:56A lot of learning
00:14:57And so this year
00:14:58I'm definitely feeling
00:14:59Much more well prepared
00:15:01And confident
00:15:02But I'm always nervous
00:15:04I mean
00:15:05Why wouldn't you be nervous
00:15:06In Hollywood week
00:15:08Up until this point
00:15:09I've only performed
00:15:10My own songs
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking
00:15:12About this first cover for us
00:15:14I'm really pushing myself with this one
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection
00:15:18To bring out emotion
00:15:20For a song that you're covering
00:15:24It demands more of me
00:15:25So the pressure's on
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking
00:15:30Just thinking about it
00:15:31Honestly
00:15:31But I just thought
00:15:32I'd regret it
00:15:33If I showed up to Hollywood week
00:15:35And I didn't push myself
00:15:38Turn down the light
00:15:42Turn down the bed
00:15:44Turn down these voices
00:15:48Inside my head
00:15:52Lay down with me
00:15:55Tell me no lies
00:16:00Just hold me close
00:16:03Don't patronize
00:16:07Don't patronize me
00:16:15Cause I can make you love me
00:16:20If you don't
00:16:22You can make your heart feel
00:16:28Something in the dark
00:16:34In these final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:42I will lay down my heart
00:16:44And I'll feel the power
00:16:46But you won't
00:16:49But you won't
00:16:50No, you won't
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me
00:17:01If you don't
00:17:05If you don't
00:17:09If you don't
00:17:13If you don't
00:17:27If you don't
00:17:29If you don't
00:17:32I can make you love me
00:17:35You won't
00:17:36If you don't
00:17:48I can make you love me
00:17:57is for you and we're just glad we get to watch i feel like every time i go on stage
00:18:18i still struggle
00:18:19with that self-doubt and i just get proven wrong every single time and it's really starting to feel
00:18:24like a blessing and um i'm not ready to go home not at all why am i so nervous i
00:18:30know right not easy cutter
00:18:39julian you are still chasing that american idol dream
00:18:50is it a whirlwind for you it's more than a whirlwind it's magic it's actual magic i don't think my
00:18:56heart's ever been this full in my entire life welcome back to american idol where professor
00:19:05carrie's hollywood week lessons have some students turning against her i'm not sure if that was the
00:19:11right song they just like to boo me there were notes that were just like awesome and then i was
00:19:20hearing
00:19:20some that i was like what's happening right now so i'm kind of like i'm it i heard it too
00:19:28i heard it
00:19:29too i'm just not sure that was the right song she only won this she knows you're not included in
00:19:35the
00:19:36discussion but mr brian seems to have been given a whole pass it was a little shaky to start i
00:19:44think

00:22:18but the song didn't necessarily show everybody how great and dynamic your voice is but it showed us
00:22:24how dynamic you are as an artist keep being yourself
00:22:33the adrenaline is pumping right now i've had a breath
00:22:37but it was good the song just kind of no it's wrong song yeah
00:22:43while true waits to see if his authenticity keeps him at the top of the class the pressure is on
00:22:48for
00:22:49sheldon who hopes to do the same the new thing i've discovered about idol is that it's really
00:22:54stripping you right back to basics i've done a lot of tv shows and i've always completely covered up
00:23:00in a mask and it's avant-garde there's crystals and diamonds sequins big gowns big dresses this is
00:23:06the most stripped back vulnerable version of myself ever
00:23:12for this round i'll be singing good luck babe by chuckle run the vocal in this performance is a lot
00:23:19bigger than my normal ones i challenge myself with a big track
00:23:27first time my voice has ever cracked and it cracked
00:23:30bad real bad am i freaking out about it yeah it's definitely in my head just take a break take
00:23:37a
00:23:38breath just relax trust that you know what you're doing up there beating myself up a little bit over
00:23:43it maybe it's because i don't have everything on maybe it's because i'm doing something completely
00:23:47different but i've come a long way this is like the side of me that i i've kept away from
00:23:53a lot of
00:23:53people i've got a lot on the line here
00:24:10it's fine it's cool
00:24:14you can say that you are nothing but you know the truth and guess i'm the fool
00:24:23with your arms out like an angel through the car i saw

00:24:35the one that i call

00:35:11Thank you so much.
00:35:13Up next is Ray, who wowed the judges in auditions with her dad by her side.
00:35:18You make me feel, you make me feel like a natural woman.
00:35:32What does it mean for you to be here right now, to finally be here?
00:35:35My dad actually suffered from a stroke a year ago, a severe one.
00:35:41I almost lost him.
00:35:42And he's here with me right now.
00:35:45Oh, so great.
00:35:48After an emotional audition, how have you gotten ready for today?
00:35:51Are you ready with the song?
00:35:52Have you rehearsed it enough?
00:35:53How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay.
00:36:00Wasn't the best.
00:36:01I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes.
00:36:04So like when you didn't hit the notes, you're wearing it on your face.
00:36:08Yeah.
00:36:08I'm like really in my head right now.
00:36:11I'm just worried about my dad because this trip has been really hard on him.
00:36:16Like he can't like sit in one spot for too long and he just gets like really tired.
00:36:22And I just want to make him proud.
00:36:24I want to make it worth his while.
00:36:27Here's 24-year-old Ray!
00:36:29Thank you very much.
00:36:59Baby, if I don't cry, I won't feel any more so cold.
00:37:09Baby, God knows I'll try to be you.
00:37:16But if you know that I am, even if I can't understand,
00:37:27if I can't understand, then I'm happy for you.
00:37:40I wish I could be this way, if I could find, oh, I'm happy for you.
00:37:55Now that I am, even if I can't understand you.
00:38:06If I can't understand, then I'm happy for you.
00:38:24Oh, my goodness.
00:38:39That...
00:38:41Ray, that was just exceptional.
00:38:44That was just...
00:38:47If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:38:55Incredible.
00:38:57And with that, tough decisions must be made.
00:39:00Yes, for now.
00:39:01She did surprise me.
00:39:03She came just presents it so well.
00:39:06By the end of today, we will have gone from 127 to 30.
00:39:17Mary, I hope you all know how difficult this decision has been.
00:39:22That said, Ruby.
00:39:25Ray.
00:39:26Mary Jo, please don't take this as a no.
00:39:36Because it is not.
00:39:37You're still in the mix.
00:39:39You all should be so proud of yourselves.
00:39:41You've done such an amazing job.
00:39:45I can't believe I've made it through.
00:39:48I'm really...
00:39:48I don't know.
00:39:49I'm just...
00:39:49Whoa, so many emotions.
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30, so I'm very anxious.
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude.
00:40:05It's just speaking more life into me.
00:40:07Still traveling.
00:40:11Hollywood Week is the ultimate test.
00:40:15I can do more and push myself more.
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you.
00:40:22Vocally, you have to stay on point when it matters most.
00:40:25Hollywood Week has been insane.
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up.
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key.
00:40:34Welcome back to American Idol, where inside the theater, our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chance at this year's
00:40:42top 30.
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all-American boy just getting up there, singing your heart.
00:41:05And we will see if that was enough.
00:41:08But meanwhile, in the Golden Room, the hopefuls who have survived the first cut wait with their fate in the
00:41:14top 30 not established.
00:41:15I still could go home.
00:41:17I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety.
00:41:20He has a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go.
00:41:23When the talent's that good.
00:41:24I don't think I'm nervous for them.
00:41:27Every time you hear, like, the audience, a little part of me is like, like, let me throw up.
00:41:32Here.
00:41:33Jenny, six-year-old.
00:41:34Jenny, hey, well.
00:41:37Pickle girl.
00:41:38Isn't there a pickle girl on?
00:41:39I love pickles.
00:41:40Who doesn't?
00:41:45You're going to still yet have to push even more with some of the singers we have.
00:41:50For this performance, they're going to see me bring, like, a little more of whatever they were looking for.
00:41:55Especially with the band.
00:41:56Like, once that band started, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm ready.
00:41:59I got this.
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts?
00:42:03No one's admitting that they're nervous.
00:42:05And it's pissing me off.
00:42:06You are nervous.
00:42:07And I'm nervous.
00:42:08I'm admitting that.
00:42:09Just admit that you're nervous.
00:42:13All of these lines across my face
00:42:18Tell you the stories of who I am
00:42:22So many stories of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got you where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:37When you've got no one to tell them till it's true
00:42:45I was made for you
00:42:51I was made for you
00:42:53I climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:56Swim all across the ocean blue
00:43:01Crossed on the lines and I'm your father
00:43:05Baby, I broke them all for you
00:43:10Oh, because they made me when I went black
00:43:15It made me feel like a man from you
00:43:21I was made for you
00:43:27Oh, yes, and it's true
00:43:30Oh, yes, and it's true
00:43:32That I was made for you
00:43:37Oh, yes, and it's true
00:43:47Love her
00:43:48Love her!
00:43:53Wow!
00:43:54You have this energy around you
00:43:56That you just feel like you want to be on stage
00:43:58Like owning the moment
00:44:00And you should be very, very happy
00:44:02Good job
00:44:03Thank you so much
00:44:04Thank you
00:44:09Oh, my God, that was so cool
00:44:11They stood up
00:44:12Let's go
00:44:13Her voice is like on
00:44:15Oh, it's got that rock kind of thing at the top
00:44:18She was clear
00:44:19She was good
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit
00:44:21I feel really good about that
00:44:22And my nail just popped off
00:44:24Perfect timing
00:44:25Okay
00:44:29Next, and hoping her dreams will take flight
00:44:31Is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird
00:44:34From the quad to Hollywood week
00:44:36Just like that
00:44:37It's gone so fast
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:40Uh, yes, yes, I would love to
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do, but, like, this is more important than me
00:44:46A week ago, if you told me I was doing American Idol
00:44:48I wouldn't have believed you
00:44:49Because I didn't even know I was auditioning
00:44:51But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing
00:44:57You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist
00:45:02And a performer
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them
00:45:05Where I have some more preparation
00:45:06Than my audition with them initially
00:45:08Now I'm here
00:45:10To remind you
00:45:13Of the mess you left
00:45:15When you went away
00:45:17It's not fair
00:45:19To deny me
00:45:22Of the cross I pay
00:45:24That you gave to me
00:45:26Girl, girl, girl, girl
00:45:28I don't know
00:45:33Of the mess that you left
00:45:35When you went away
00:45:37It's not fair
00:45:39To deny me
00:45:42Of the cross I pay
00:45:44That you gave to me
00:45:46Girl, girl, girl
00:45:48I don't know
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers
00:45:58So I'm just glad that I went out there
00:46:00And did my best
00:46:00Way to own your moment
00:46:02Just remember
00:46:03Make sure you land the vocals all the way
00:46:05But you should be very, very proud
00:46:07Good job
00:46:15As the night goes on
00:46:16The judges are feeling the weight
00:46:18Of some tough decisions
00:46:22Aye, aye, aye
00:46:23I stripped the band-aid off
00:46:29Genevieve
00:46:32And Jason
00:46:36You're still in the mix
00:46:39Jackie, you're not going through
00:46:45The fact that I made it this far
00:46:46I'm really grateful
00:46:48And yeah, I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me in the top 30
00:46:57Because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned as more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable
00:47:09In years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:14Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard
00:47:17There are people that are really good

00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by for results
00:51:24Brooks hopes he could do enough to stand out
00:51:28I've never performed on a stage
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family
00:51:33So I'm very excited, but I'm also still very nervous
00:51:38I come from a musical family
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicist
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life
00:51:44But I just never took it seriously
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me
00:51:51I had trouble making friends
00:51:52I was very shy
00:51:55Awkward
00:51:58I started playing soccer around age six
00:52:00That kinda led to making friends
00:52:03And from that point on
00:52:05Soccer was my life
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro
00:52:09To see my last name on my back
00:52:11With a number that I liked
00:52:14My freshman year of high school
00:52:15Halfway through the soccer season
00:52:19I went for a free kick
00:52:23And I planted my left foot to kick it
00:52:26And I felt like a gear switch
00:52:27In my lower left back
00:52:29And I couldn't feel my legs
00:52:31I snapped my back in half
00:52:34And that changed everything
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved
00:52:41And be around the other boys
00:52:43And be a part of things
00:52:45I was lost for a long time
00:52:47And then I picked up a guitar
00:52:48And I didn't want to put it down
00:52:52You haven't played out much
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much
00:52:57Well stop doing that
00:53:00I just want to hear more
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities
00:53:05But this holds the future that I want
00:53:09Alright, let's see what they think about him
00:53:11Alright, here we go
00:53:31I will find myself walking down the road alone
00:53:40Feels like a rolling stone
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul
00:53:52And it grows just like an ocean wave
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way
00:54:06And it keeps on pouring down
00:54:09Tears of pain

00:54:23Tears of pain
00:54:28Cause I am lost amongst these north country stars

00:54:36And lead me on home
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins
00:54:48There's this pain

00:55:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:55:49And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it
00:55:53Is pretty special
00:55:54When you have this unique voice
00:55:58Paired with these songs that are gonna happen in your life
00:56:01It's gonna be really, really special
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?

00:57:38How are we doing gang?
00:57:39What's up?
00:57:40Hey
00:57:42What's happening?
00:57:43Give yourselves a round of applause
00:57:44For those great performances out there
00:57:48There are 60 of you here in this room
00:57:51And the judges said
00:57:52Only 30 of you
00:57:54Will go on to that next round
00:57:56Right now
00:57:57They're actually deliberating
00:57:59With the task of having to cut so many hopefuls
00:58:02The judges review the performances
00:58:04To pare it down to just 30
00:58:06It's hard
00:58:07There are people that are really good
00:58:09That we are having to send home
00:58:11Soon you'll be called back into the theater
00:58:14So
00:58:14When you are called back in
00:58:16Just be aware
00:58:18Anything could happen
00:58:19Everyone's fighting for their lives in here
00:58:21It's chaos
00:58:21I got a massive curveball thrown at us
00:58:24Some of us are going home
00:58:28We got more bloodshed coming
00:58:30We got more decisions to make than we're used to
00:58:33The remaining 60 must now be cut in half again
00:58:38As the judges decide
00:58:39Who will make it through to the top 30
00:58:43It's so hard having to cut this menu
00:58:46It's a big cut
00:58:47Hopefully we are making the right decisions
00:58:50Well I feel like I'm going to throw up
00:58:52Who knows I might puke
00:58:54I don't know
00:58:55We feel good about it
00:58:56We've got them
00:58:57Yeah we got them
00:58:58I think we do
00:58:58With the judges decisions made
00:59:00The singers return to the theater
00:59:02To learn their fate
00:59:04It's been a crazy Hollywood week
00:59:06Here in Nashville
00:59:08You've been through a lot
00:59:09We've had to talk out your futures amongst us three
00:59:13And it's nothing that we take lightly
00:59:18I mean you're all here for a reason
00:59:20Because you're really good
00:59:21And if a couple of you kind of occupied the same space
00:59:25We definitely had to look at that
00:59:27So we have some sing-offs
00:59:31That we're going to ask you to do
00:59:33And I'm going to deliver
00:59:35The first two names of the sing-offs
00:59:39We never planned it
00:59:41It happened naturally
00:59:42They have the same two last names
00:59:46If your last name is Garner
00:59:50Where's the Garner's?
00:59:52Where's the Garner's?
00:59:53Jason, Michael, the two Garner's
00:59:56You're in a sing-off together
00:59:57So we got a slot
00:59:59One of you will have it
01:00:00You are dismissed
01:00:01So you can go work on your song that you want to sing
01:00:04And y'all are our first sing-offs
01:00:08Garner versus Garner
01:00:12You got this
01:00:13So I get the second sing-off announcement
01:00:17So I look forward to seeing Mary Jo Young
01:00:22And Chloe Lauren
01:00:24All right, so it'll be you guys
01:00:26Y'all are in the sing-offs
01:00:28Go work on your songs
01:00:30Bring your A-game
01:00:32While the sing-off duos leave to prepare
01:00:35The remaining finalists
01:00:36Will now be called up in groups to find out
01:00:39Who has earned their place in the top 30
01:00:43All right

01:02:15You've already won because you're here
01:02:19The talent is in you
01:02:23But it's gonna be the end of the line
01:02:27Or this moment
01:02:28Do you think about me when you look at the moon
01:02:33To know that I made it this far
01:02:35I did everything I could
01:02:36I hate to admit I still care about you
01:02:40A little disappointed, but
01:02:42I'll be back
01:02:43Love you, Carrie
01:02:44It's been a long time since I've heard you speak
01:02:47It was upsetting to hear the no

01:02:51You never saw who I turned out to be
01:02:54Tiana
01:02:57Jake Thistle

01:04:53I still feel you here in my skin and my heart
01:04:57This wasn't easy for absolutely anyone

01:05:01It's hard

01:05:38Brenna Brigman
01:05:40Ray
01:05:43Genevieve
01:05:47Abayomi
01:05:53Look at this group of all girls
01:05:55Look down the line at each other
01:05:59Sorry this is so drawn out and painful
01:06:03But...
01:06:05All you girls are going through to the next round
01:06:08You're in our top 30
01:06:13Girls
01:06:13I feel all of the feelings
01:06:15I'm so excited, I'm so ready for this journey
01:06:19Wow
01:06:20Speechless
01:06:22I'm moving on, I'm so excited
01:06:24Top 30, I'm on top 30
01:06:27It's great news for the 28 who have survived Hollywood week
01:06:32But four hopefuls remain to fight for the last two spots of our top 30
01:06:36Well you know, you always told me you do well under pressure
01:06:39Remember you told me that
01:06:41Well guess what, your dream has come true
01:06:44When I heard that I was going to be in a sting off my journal
01:06:47And it automatically shot up and I was like, I got this
01:06:49You feel good?
01:06:51Yeah
01:06:51Feel confident?
01:06:52No, no
01:06:58Welcome back to Hollywood week
01:07:00We got two slots left in the top 30
01:07:04And fighting for one of those slots are Chloe and Mary Jo
01:07:08Chloe and I became really good friends the last two days
01:07:11Which makes me really sad
01:07:12We're very similar
01:07:14Not only with our tones, but also
01:07:18Personologies
01:07:18So I'm kind of just like, bang
01:07:21Less familiar with each other are the two Garners
01:07:25Also vying for a spot in the top 30
01:07:27I'm singing off against Michael Garner, I'm Jason Garner
01:07:30Do you know him?
01:07:32I do not know him, huh?
01:07:34Ironically, they also both sang songs by the Red Clay Strays in their auditions
01:07:39Did not expect my night to end like this
01:07:41But Michael's idol journey has been unexpected from the start
01:07:45We're going to give you a shot
01:07:48What you do with your voice is definitely beyond 16
01:07:52Like I look at you and I see my son
01:07:57And I would not throw him in the middle of it
01:08:01It's a yes for me
01:08:04Miss Carrie, I just want to say
01:08:07I'm going to prove to you that I have what it takes
01:08:09And Michael's continued to grow during Hollywood Week
01:08:12You are a 16 year old kid doing impressive stuff
01:08:15You should be very, very proud
01:08:17It's not just about the age, it's about what you got inside
01:08:20For fellow high schooler Jason, the mission has been authenticity
01:08:25Your stage presence is electrified
01:08:28But I don't want you to be a gimmick
01:08:30Take your vocals and your performances really serious at this point
01:08:34And in Hollywood Week, he made a believer out of Carrie
01:08:38Jason, you are genuine and you're believable
01:08:43That's great, thank you
01:08:45The boys have been rehearsing
01:08:47Yeah, this is stressful for them boys
01:08:50Let's dig right in
01:08:51I have not heard him sing
01:08:53I'm pretty much just going in blind, yeah
01:08:54I don't want you to compare yourself to him
01:08:56Just lean in and go for it
01:08:58This is your moment
01:08:59Second chance is always, you know, your time to shine, you know
01:09:02You feel good? You feel confident?
01:09:05I don't know
01:09:06They got to sing for their life

01:14:36That's right
01:14:37One final spot remains
01:14:41Mary Jo or Chloe?
01:14:44I'm, ooh, that's how I feel
01:14:46Chloe has a great freaking voice
01:14:49She's incredible
01:14:50And I'm, like, sad because I love Chloe
01:14:52Bring all the water works
01:14:55I do know Mary Jo
01:14:56We became close throughout Hollywood Week
01:14:59She's performed many times
01:15:02And I have not
01:15:03I didn't know we were going to
01:15:05That's all right
01:15:05So this is a once-in-a-lifetime for me
01:15:09When we give you confidence
01:15:11Because we can sense that it's not all there
01:15:15Go for it all
01:15:17But since arriving at Hollywood Week
01:15:19The self-doubt has not left Chloe's side
01:15:22I feel like I let myself down
01:15:24I didn't self-sabotage really badly
01:15:27I tried to do the best that I could
01:15:31It's almost like she's given up on herself
01:15:34Mary Jo's Hollywood experience goes back five seasons
01:15:41Where her nerves led to forgetting the lyrics in her duet with Benson Boone
01:15:50You just lived your worst nightmare
01:15:53Now that you've experienced it
01:15:54You have to understand
01:15:55We all mess up
01:15:57That's right
01:15:57But what you have
01:15:58Is a great gift
01:16:00But there was no holding back for her this season
01:16:02We're so glad to have you back in our presence
01:16:06And you are singing your butt off
01:16:08Congratulations
01:16:09Thank you
01:16:12Are they ready?
01:16:16When you're out there for now
01:16:17I want you to say one thing to yourself in your head
01:16:18Do not rush
01:16:20You're meant to do this
01:16:21Get out there and sing the you know what out of this song
01:16:25Amen
01:16:26All right, ladies
01:16:32So we have Mary Jo and Chloe
01:16:36Duking it out for that last final spot into the top 30
01:16:42So give it your all
01:16:44Who wants to go first?
01:16:46Oh, Lord
01:16:47I'll go
01:16:49I'll go
01:16:49Yeah, I'll go
01:16:51What are you going to sing, Chloe?
01:16:52I'm singing You Stole the Show by Santa Spira
01:16:55Okay
01:17:05You Stole the Show
01:17:08Got a sending ovation
01:17:13I lost control
01:17:17From the stage
01:17:19From your face
01:17:21You don't say hello
01:17:26I can't wait
01:17:28I'm impatient
01:17:30You stole my show
01:17:34So I chase you
01:17:36To the pavement
01:17:38Rub me in your arms again
01:17:42The adrenaline
01:17:44Makes me shiver
01:17:48Show me that you're genuine
01:17:51That I'm safe again
01:17:54That you came here different
01:17:56No time to define
01:18:00But
01:18:01Before we get closer
01:18:05I ask
01:18:08If you love me
01:18:10And you just
01:18:15Shrugged your shoulders
01:18:23Amazing
01:18:28That was good
01:18:29Really great
