00:13:26That was right on the money.
00:13:30Thank you so much.
00:13:31If there were a thousand things on a list to check, I think you checked them all.
00:13:35I mean, I don't think we've seen a star, star, star like you yet.
00:13:40Really, really incredible.
00:13:43Your breath control is quite amazing.
00:13:47There was one point and you just kept going, and I'm like, when is she going to breathe?
00:13:53I'm just curious to know, what drove you to be here?
00:13:56Performing is my favorite thing ever, and I'm also here really for my community, the Palisades.
00:14:03We need a win after such a hard year for everyone, and I'm just, yeah, here singing for my family
00:14:08and my community.
00:14:11In January of 2025, there was a wildfire that destroyed a lot of our community.
00:14:19So much of our community burnt, like my preschool, the first theater I ever performed in, the home that I
00:14:27lived in until I was five, my childhood best friend's homes.
00:14:38Um, it was a really, it's been a really hard time seeing the town that I grew up in completely
00:14:44gone.
00:14:44Nothing for my love for you.
00:14:47After the fires, it was really hard to just find joy in the little things, but it's taught me a
00:14:52lot.
00:14:52It's taught me when everyone comes together, it can be so strong.
00:14:57Well, sorry for all of that.
00:14:58I know the pain that that community is going through, and to have such a bright spot like you to
00:15:04come in and represent is fantastic.
00:15:07I want to vote.
00:15:09Please, Luke, Luke, calm down.
00:15:11I want to vote.
00:15:11Calm down.
00:15:12Talk about it.
00:15:13What do you want to do, Lionel?
00:15:14I want to vote.
00:15:15Okay.
00:15:16It's a yes.
00:15:17Big old yes.
00:15:18Big old yes.
00:15:19Luke.
00:15:20As big as a yes can sound.
00:15:23This was a yes.
00:15:23Of course it was a yes.
00:15:24Are you kidding me?
00:15:26That was fantastic.
00:15:27Come on down here.
00:15:28You're going to Hollywood week.
00:15:30Oh my gosh.
00:15:30Go out and celebrate.
00:15:39This golden ticket was 100% for my family and my community in the Palisades.
00:15:43This has definitely been one of the most challenging years, but I've learned that I can keep powering through,
00:15:48and the light will keep on shining.
00:15:50Hollywood week is upon you.
00:15:54That's a definite top tenner.
00:15:58That's a different kind of 16-year-old.
00:16:00I agree.
00:16:02Now that's a different kind of 16-year-old.
00:16:04Wow.
00:16:04I will give me nothing but my love for you.
00:16:11Carrie Underwood named the highest rated R-I-A-A certified female country artist of all time.
00:16:21Hi.
00:16:24Way to go.
00:16:25Way to go.
00:16:28Congratulations.
00:16:29Congratulations.
00:16:30You are a wonderful co-judge.
00:16:32Make our judging.
00:16:33I love it.
00:16:33You beat everybody.
00:16:34You slayed them.
00:16:35How does that make you feel?
00:16:36I like winning.
00:16:39Carrie Underwood is literally my favorite singer of all time since I was five, and I saw her on American
00:16:45Idol.
00:16:45The performer that I was up to is Carrie Underwood.
00:16:48I like to love her, and if I see her and be her, I might pass out.
00:16:55Hi.
00:16:56Hello.
00:16:57Who are you?
00:16:57My name is Cameron Palmer, and I'm 25, and I'm from Florida, but I've lived here for six years.
00:17:03So I actually dressed up as you for Halloween after you won Idol.
00:17:08I was five years old.
00:17:10My mom is awesome.
00:17:12She sent a photo to you, and I got a little postcard back.
00:17:15It's dated December 2006.
00:17:17Wow.
00:17:18And I thought I'd bring it now, so.
00:17:20Hopefully, it's good luck.
00:17:22Hopefully.
00:17:23I love you so much.
00:17:25What are you going to sing today?
00:17:26Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue.
00:17:29Wow.
00:17:29Wow.
00:17:29You're already making Carrie happy.
00:17:32What just happened?
00:17:39You know I'm a dreamer, but my heart's of gold, and to run away high, so when you come home
00:17:53low, I'm on my way, I'm on my way home sweet home.
00:18:05Tonight, tonight, tonight, I'm on my way, I'm on my way, home sweet home.
00:18:21All right.
00:18:23Cameron, you're very comfortable in playing and singing and emoting, which is really refreshing.
00:18:31You've got a nice voice, but I just don't know if it's all the way there yet for Idol.
00:18:36I'm trying to place you in a setting where seven songs in, is the house going to come down?
00:18:43I'm still not quite clear on that element of it.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:50It's going to be a no, but it's a real optimistic no.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:54You have a good voice.
00:18:55I would love to, like, hear more fire in there.
00:18:57It's just crazy.
00:18:58I know, I know.
00:18:59But if you can find that sass and push your voice, I think you deserve a chance to do that.
00:19:07So it's a yes for me.
00:19:08Cool.
00:19:10I'm going to work my butt off.
00:19:14I'm a no.
00:19:15Okay.
00:19:17Before I go, can I sing it with you?
00:19:19Let's do it!
00:19:20Oh, that's so cool that you would ask.
00:19:25Okay.
00:19:27Can you start or do I have to start?
00:19:29Did y'all plan this?
00:19:31No!
00:19:33All right, I'll go.
00:19:34Okay.
00:19:37You know I'm a dreamer, but my heart's a gold.
00:19:45I had to run away high, so I wouldn't come home more.
00:19:51I was hoping that the saying no part would get easier.
00:19:57And it did not.
00:19:59It's a no for me.
00:20:01And it's, I was like 15 years old, and I had a chance, and it didn't work out.
00:20:08And if it had, it would have been the worst thing that had ever happened to me.
00:20:11So just keep at it, girlfriend.
00:20:15I don't want to BS these kids.
00:20:17I don't want to fluff them.
00:20:18You know, I want to make sure they understand they're not ready yet.
00:20:22I would really like to see you spend more time working on your vocals.
00:20:27It's a no for me.
00:20:30It's a no for me, bud.
00:20:31Thank you for being here.
00:20:32Thank y'all.
00:20:33Thank you, man.
00:20:35It was a no.
00:20:37You always just want to really reassure them that it's not their time yet.
00:20:42I'm going to give you an encouraging no.
00:20:45I want to push you, and I want you to find some fire in there.
00:20:48And for them to go continue their path in the music business.
00:20:53Oh, sweet home tonight, tonight, I'm on my way, I'm on my way, sweet home.
00:21:10There you go.
00:21:11It was like one of the best moments of my life.
00:21:15Ronald, they rehearsed that somewhere.
00:21:18They did not.
00:21:18Of course they did.
00:21:20I'm on my way, I'm on my way.
00:21:25Oh, no.
00:21:26I finally sang that piece of pepper out of my throat.
00:21:28Oh, God.
00:21:29Luke, be careful.
00:21:31Tonight, tonight, I'm on my way.
00:21:34Yeah, it's okay, I got to sing with Carrie.
00:21:37You guys are heartless.
00:21:38We are not heartless.
00:21:40We are heartless.
00:21:41I'm 1,000% going to keep singing.
00:21:42It's my whole life.
00:21:43It's what I believe I was put on this earth to do, and I'm going to keep doing it.
00:21:48All right.
00:21:48I'm on my way, I'm on my way, home, sweet home.
00:22:00My name is Michael Garner.
00:22:01I'm from Palestine, Arkansas, and I'm a sophomore in high school.
00:22:05Hey, y'all.
00:22:05What's up?
00:22:06All right.
00:22:06Hey.
00:22:07Gosh, how old are you?
00:22:08I'm 16 years old.
00:22:10That's great.
00:22:11These have my ears.
00:22:12When I found out I was going to be able to audition, I started busting out crying.
00:22:16Me and my mom and my dad.
00:22:18We're going to give you a shot.
00:22:19Are you serious?
00:22:20Yes, I am serious.
00:22:21These have my ears.
00:22:22I feel like this audition could definitely change my lives and my family's lives.
00:22:26But you're a long way.
00:22:29It's going to be great.
00:22:30We all believe in him.
00:22:33We're behind you.
00:22:34We love you.
00:22:35I've watched Idol with my family for a long time.
00:22:40This has always been mine and their dream.
00:22:42I always said that I was going to be on there someday, and here I am.
00:22:46But what do you do in Arkansas other than music?
00:22:49You know, deer hunt, duck hunt.
00:22:51The only thing there really is in Arkansas is football games and back roads, you know.
00:22:54A little bit nervous going in there?
00:22:55Yeah.
00:22:56I think so.
00:22:56That's the biggest stage he's ever been on runs.
00:22:58It's a big one.
00:22:59Yeah.
00:23:00What kind of music are you into?
00:23:01Country.
00:23:02All right.
00:23:03This man says what he says, and he says what he says.
00:23:06I like it.
00:23:06Man, a few words.
00:23:07What are you going to sing?
00:23:08I'm going to sing I'm Still Fine by the Red Clay Strays.
00:23:10Perfect.
00:23:11All right.
00:23:12Let's hear it.
00:23:14I'm on display.
00:23:18I've lost my way.
00:23:21Oh God, I pray.
00:23:25Let this pass over.
00:23:28I lost the note.
00:23:32I rocked the ball.
00:23:42God's not giving me up.
00:23:44I think they're out of their mind.
00:23:50Like one of them has had this.
00:23:56God's not giving me up.
00:23:59No, I'm just fine.
00:24:01It's just a matter of time.
00:24:05No, I can't feel my sadness.
00:24:10I know that it should be there.
00:24:12But baby, I'm just too tired to care.
00:24:16Because I'm still fine.
00:24:22All right.
00:24:28Where's he going?
00:24:29Boom.
00:24:30Boom.
00:24:31There you go.
00:24:32Boom.
00:24:33I wish you were like 20 years old.
00:24:36I mean, I believe I'm ready.
00:24:38You know, I'm willing to give you everything I got.
00:24:40Yeah, you are.
00:24:41You're really good.
00:24:41You are.
00:24:42Whatever happens today, you're on the right path.
00:24:45Yes, ma'am.
00:24:46What you do with your voice is definitely beyond 16.
00:24:50Like, I feel like you have a control and a composure about yourself.
00:24:54I think I'm going to be wrestling over here.
00:24:58I think your opening was just nerves.
00:25:02That look has not caught up to that matured voice.
00:25:06I have to think about this while Luke is talking to you.
00:25:09If we say no to him, what are we doing here?
00:25:12Yeah, yeah.
00:25:12I know what you're saying.
00:25:13In my opinion.
00:25:14I mean, I know he's young, but we're all saying that he sings great.
00:25:21She's just playing guitar great, and he's singing pretty daggone good.
00:25:26So I look at you, and I see my son, and I would not throw him in the middle of
00:25:35it where you are at 16.
00:25:38So that's where I'm coming from.
00:25:42A no for me.
00:25:46What do we do with this young prodigy?
00:25:54It's a yes for me.
00:25:55It's a yes.
00:25:56Nice.
00:25:57Um.
00:26:07Tiers.
00:26:07Ticket!
00:26:11Congratulations.
00:26:12Come over here, young man.
00:26:13Was that terrifying?
00:26:15I mean, playing in front of him.
00:26:18We did it, we're going to Hollywood week, let's go.
00:26:21He's going to treat Justin Bieber.
00:26:22Dad scares the crap out of me.
00:26:23Listen, listen, you're right.
00:26:26All I can think about is Justin Timberlake.
00:26:34You can't take the mama,
00:26:35you can't take the mama out of me.
00:26:37Since when do you have a heart and you're a mother?
00:26:42Miss Carrie, I just want to say,
00:26:45I'm going to prove to you that I have what it takes.
00:26:54It's been a good day.
00:26:57Hello, hello.
00:26:58Hey.
00:27:00Tell us all about yourself.
00:27:02My name is Sheldon Riley.
00:27:04I'm 26 years old from Melbourne, Australia.
00:27:07Melbourne.
00:27:08What you doing here?
00:27:10American Idol, huh?
00:27:11You're crazy.
00:27:16I wanted to do music since I was a really young kid.
00:27:19When I was maybe about 15 years old,
00:27:22I sung at my school and I remember that first applause.
00:27:26I was like, yeah, this is what I want to do.
00:27:27I love the way it made me feel.
00:27:29I love the way that it made me feel noticed.
00:27:32About 10 years ago,
00:27:33I auditioned for a big TV show back in Australia.
00:27:37It's my big moment.
00:27:39And I sung my song and they said it wasn't quite enough.
00:27:45Just you singing, it's not enough.
00:27:48You said don't lie, so I made the truth.
00:27:50That experience made me doubt myself.
00:27:52It made me feel I had to play a character just to be seen.
00:27:55It seemed like a lie to you.
00:27:58I kind of created this character that dressed up like crazy,
00:28:02the most avant-garde, high-fashion crystals and diamonds.
00:28:05And it was the thing that made people see me.
00:28:07You'll be my resolution.
00:28:09It just kind of took off.
00:28:11I had opportunities like crazy,
00:28:13not just Australia, but the entire world.
00:28:15Characters of North America.
00:28:18I've been on every TV show competition known to men.
00:28:22I've done it all.
00:28:22And the art was just getting crazier and crazier and crazier.
00:28:26It almost felt like an addiction
00:28:28to be the most memorable person in the room.
00:28:31But I'd come home,
00:28:34I'd take the mask off, the makeup, the accessories, the everything,
00:28:37and I would hate the person that I saw in the mirror.
00:28:41Hated that version of me.
00:28:43I'm not you, not you, me.
00:28:47So I took two years off
00:28:50and remembered why that little kid got up on stage that first time.
00:28:55And this is the one show,
00:28:57there's no smoke, there's no mirrors, no nothing.
00:28:59And I said to myself,
00:28:59if I was going to come back into music,
00:29:01it would be here with just the piano and just me.
00:29:04And if you don't like it, you don't like it.
00:29:06I don't even know if anyone's ever really going to want
00:29:09what I have to give without everything that I usually put on.
00:29:14That's a big part of why I'm here,
00:29:15just to remind myself that my voice is enough.
00:29:21Everybody's got their version of what you just said.
00:29:24You know, everybody's got their mask,
00:29:26whether it is something physical that they hide behind
00:29:28or this certain identity that they've created for themselves.
00:29:34And, you know, then of course you do worry that
00:29:36if I wasn't that, would anyone still love me?
00:29:40You're very relatable.
00:29:42What are you going to sing for us today?
00:29:45This is Brother by Matt Corby.
00:29:47It's an Australian singer.
00:29:49Yeah.
00:29:51All right, thank you.
00:30:11Somebody call out to your brother.
00:30:14He's calling out your name.
00:30:16Oh, hiding under the covers
00:30:21With no one else to blame
00:30:24Oh, you couldn't help out your own neighbor
00:30:29You couldn't tell it to his face
00:30:31You were messed up by the place
00:30:34You were messed up by the place

00:31:22He's calling out your name
00:31:25Oh

00:31:32You couldn't tell it to his face

00:31:51Crazy unbelievable
00:31:52Thank you
00:31:53Don't know why you ever had to wear the mask
00:31:55Because you're an amazing looking person
00:31:57You being the loudest guy in the room
00:31:59You don't always have to be that
00:32:01Being the most dynamic singer in the room
00:32:03You don't have to be that
00:32:04It's okay to just peel a layer off
00:32:07But that was impressive
00:32:09Thank you

00:37:43He's a class clown

00:37:53This slice of Casanova cake
00:37:55Is going to Hollywood week
00:37:57I feel that some things
00:38:02Just have to be pursued
00:38:04No this was
00:38:05That was great
00:38:07I followed you Carrie
00:38:09What is happening?
00:38:10What is happening?

00:38:17For as long as I can remember
00:38:18Very cool
00:38:19Like cowboy Casanova
00:38:20Just has a very special place in my heart
00:38:22Can you kind of give us a little taste?
00:38:24Let's hope I remember the lyrics
00:38:26I will help you
00:38:27Okay
00:38:27She knows all the lyrics
00:38:28So just look at her
00:38:31He's a good time
00:38:33Cowboy Casanova leaning
00:38:36Running up against the record machine
00:38:40Look at her face
00:38:41You've got to get some stank face going
00:38:43He's a gentleman in disguise
00:38:44A snake with blue eyes
00:38:46And he only comes back at night
00:38:49I'm like fangirling
00:38:50I can't believe this is happening

00:39:15With them as my instrument
00:39:16Okay

00:39:18We're going to sing
00:39:18Masterpiece by Jasmine Sullivan
00:39:20Wow
00:39:20Let's have it
00:39:23My eyes ain't used to these rays
00:39:27I'm feeling exposed
00:39:29But I can't hide no more
00:39:33I can't hide
00:39:34As the sun shines on all of the glory
00:39:38My flaws don't look so bad at all
00:39:42What was I so afraid of?
00:39:46Every part of me is a vision
00:39:49Of a portrait of Mona
00:39:51Of Mona Lisa
00:39:56Every part of me is beautiful
00:40:00And I'll finally see

00:40:29Yeah, they had that
00:40:30Thank you
00:40:32Thank you, thank you so much.
00:40:35Carrie?
00:40:36Very sweet.
00:40:37I feel like you were so sweet and smiley,
00:40:41and I feel like it needed maybe a little more
00:40:43staying in character, just a little bit.
00:40:46Okay.
00:40:47But you have a fabulous voice.
00:40:49Absolutely.
00:40:50Thank you so much.
00:40:51Luke?
00:40:51Yeah, I mean, surprisingly, you've got a nice country
00:40:54tone to it.
00:40:55That soulful country.
00:40:56Yeah, soulful country, and even on the song
00:40:59with the whole group, you really had some great vocal
00:41:02moments, too.
00:41:03Okay, thank you.
00:41:04Let's vote, Carrie.
00:41:05I would like to hear more.
00:41:07It's a yes for me.
00:41:10Oh, my gosh.
00:41:12Yes.
00:41:13Yay!
00:41:14It's a yes for me, without a doubt.
00:41:18Welcome to the university.
00:41:20Oh, my gosh.
00:41:21You got it.
00:41:22Thank you so much.
00:41:23It's so nice to meet you.
00:41:24So nice to meet you.
00:41:25So good, you guys.
00:41:27Ladies, fantastic.
00:41:29Great support.
00:41:33That was amazing.
00:41:35Oh, my gosh.
00:41:35Can't really believe what just happened.
00:41:37But it's OK.
00:41:38Pinch me.
00:41:41She's going to Hollywood Week.
00:41:46Woo!
00:41:49I couldn't stop looking at her baby knees.
00:41:52Her what?
00:41:53Baby knees.
00:41:55When you have, like, a face in your knees.
00:41:58Oh, really?
00:41:59Do you know baby knees?
00:42:00I've never heard of that.
00:42:01I have baby knees.
00:42:03Oh, really?
00:42:03Right after Kate and William had their baby George, right?
00:42:08Right.
00:42:09Yeah, George.
00:42:09My knees were in a magazine.
00:42:11And it was like, Prince George's face is in Carrie Underwood's knees.
00:42:16And I was like, what the crap is going on with my knees?
00:42:19So I have baby faces in my knees.
00:42:23And I can make them sing, too.
00:42:25You can make them sing?
00:42:27It was like, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.
00:42:30I gotta check my knees now.
00:42:32All right.
00:42:33And I was like, that's crazy.
00:42:54Ah, there we are.
00:42:55Hello.
00:42:56How you doing?
00:42:56Good.
00:42:56How are you?
00:42:57Great.
00:42:58What's your name?
00:42:59Hannah Harper.
00:42:59Where are you from?
00:43:00Willow Springs, Missouri.
00:43:02Where did you get that dress?
00:43:04This was homemade.
00:43:05If this doesn't scream, yee-haw, I don't know what will.
00:43:08Well, what kind of music do you perform, listen to?
00:43:12I grew up doing bluegrass.
00:43:13My family had a bluegrass gospel band, went church to church, and sang at churches.
00:43:19I grew up in a super musical family.
00:43:21My dad worked at the lead mine for several years.
00:43:23One evening, he was just feeling like God was calling him to do something different with
00:43:27his life.
00:43:27So in 2009, my parents quit their jobs, and we bought a bus, and we went on the road as
00:43:32a family band.
00:43:35The tour bus was 40 foot long.
00:43:37It was bright red.
00:43:38And we lived on the bus for seven years.
00:43:41We just would go coast to coast and play banjos and sing for the Lord.
00:43:46It was a very unconventional upbringing, but I literally wouldn't trade it for anything
00:43:50in the world.
00:43:59We didn't come back into Missouri until 2016.
00:44:02We settled back down, and then I met my husband.
00:44:04We got married, and we found out we were pregnant with our first baby like four months after we
00:44:08got married.
00:44:10Oh, right in the noggin.
00:44:12I'm sorry, buddy.
00:44:14Then one turned to three really fast.
00:44:16With three boys, it comes a lot of chaos.
00:44:18Same old coffee.
00:44:19And a lot of fun.
00:44:21Same old coffee.
00:44:22Same old coffee cup.
00:44:23Sorry, why are you standing up there?
00:44:25Same old house.
00:44:27Same old stuff.
00:44:29It's just hectic at all times.
00:44:31Mom, I need some pizza paper.
00:44:33It counts.
00:44:34Half of them.
00:44:34Or is he trying to buy them?
00:44:36Let's eat some pizza, and then you can go take a nap.
00:44:37Do you want to go na-na?
00:44:38No!
00:44:39No!
00:44:40I'm trying out for the show just because I want the opportunity to give the boys the
00:44:43same life that I had growing up in a bigger way, if possible, to be able to sustain my
00:44:48family and do music full-time.
00:44:53I have two boys.
00:44:54They make things more interesting.
00:44:55Oh, for sure.
00:44:56Yeah.
00:44:57Mine's been screaming all day.
00:44:58Good.
00:44:58Yay!
00:44:59That's great.
00:44:59That's great.
00:45:00Love it.
00:45:00What are you going to sing for us today?
00:45:02I'm going to sing an original that I wrote called String Cheese.
00:45:05You're like my favorite person.
00:45:06You're wearing homemade clothes.
00:45:08You're singing songs called String Cheese.
00:45:10What's the song about?
00:45:11My youngest is one, and shortly after he was born, I had postpartum depression, and
00:45:15so I was sitting on my couch.
00:45:16I said I wasn't going to cry.
00:45:20I was sitting on my couch wallowing, and you have boys, you know, everybody wants to
00:45:27touch you, and I didn't want to be touched.
00:45:31And my youngest son, like, I was just having a pity party, praying that the Lord would calm
00:45:37my spirit.
00:45:40And my son kept coming up to me.
00:45:42He said, Mom, open this.
00:45:43Mom, open this.
00:45:43Open my cheese.
00:45:44I'm like, leave me alone with the dadgum cheese.
00:45:47And I finally opened his cheese, and when I did, I realized that God had put me in that
00:45:50place, and that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have.
00:45:56And being a mom, so I gathered myself, and I got up off the couch, and I quit throwing
00:46:01a pity party, and I realized that that was exactly what I wanted.
00:46:05And I kind of kicked the postpartum depression in the butt, and I said, I ain't doing it.
00:46:10There you go.
00:46:10So I wrote this song called String Cheese.
00:46:14Do you need a second?
00:46:15I want to give you, like...
00:46:16Probably just give me one second.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:19I can't cry and sing, so...
00:46:22I don't want to put you in that position.
00:46:24That is a tough one.
00:46:25Here.
00:46:25Thank you so much.
00:46:34Ready?
00:46:35I think so.
00:46:48I warm my morning coffee up for the third time.
00:46:54Miss Rachel on the TV with their favorite nursery rhyme.
00:47:00Hot wheels and little people under my feet.
00:47:06Baby's crying.
00:47:07It's pure chaos, but I don't miss a beat.
00:47:12Always knew that a nine to five wouldn't suit me very good.
00:47:18But my hours are extended.
00:47:21That's just motherhood.
00:47:24I never knew this is what my twenties would look like.
00:47:30But they saved me before I had the chance to waste my life.
00:47:36One day I'll be alone with a hot, fresh cup of joe.
00:47:43Wishing that someone would just drop me by.
00:47:48And I'll sit and reminisce on times that I sure miss.
00:47:55I've scattered toys and a baby on my hip.
00:47:59I thought finding peace in the quiet's what I wanted.
00:48:06But I'd do anything to go back to being needed.
00:48:12To those days I want to cry, run away and hide.
00:48:19But I'd worry about their every need.
00:48:23When I'm overwhelmed and touched out.
00:48:29They come climbing up on the couch.
00:48:32Saying, Mama, can you open my strange cheeks?
00:48:37I smile because I know meeting their needs fills my soul.
00:48:44Being there, Mama, is who I'm meant to be.
00:48:47I love you, Mama, is who I'm meant to be.
00:48:53That's great.
00:48:54Do you have more questions?
00:48:55Oh.
00:48:57My turn.
00:49:00This pack is going quick.
00:49:02Yeah, but.
00:49:06Well, that's about the most relatable song I think I've ever heard.
00:49:12Hannah, great job.
00:49:15Great job.
00:49:15Just with that mountainous bluegrass sound that you have in there.
00:49:21I kept thinking like Kacey Musgraves is in there.
00:49:24I kept thinking certainly Alison Krauss.
00:49:27Like a little dolly.
00:49:28A little dolly in there.
00:49:30And gosh, even if we got you to lean in more on it.
00:49:33Fill the room a little more.
00:49:35You're going to be able to move some people.
00:49:36But great song.
00:49:37Way to really write the moment you're in.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:41I want you to use dolly as the example of two things.
00:49:45One, her storytelling ability.
00:49:47And two, she has the ability to tell that story and then give us a lift.
00:49:52Mm-hmm.
00:49:53You've got the range.
00:49:54I would have loved to have found you just on one of those lines.
00:49:56Just hold it for a minute.
00:49:58I don't know.
00:49:58I was going up, but then I chickened out because I was crying.
00:50:02It was hard to come from a tear.
00:50:04It is.
00:50:04You might be my favorite person that's walked through those doors in the past three days.
00:50:08You're my new best friend.
00:50:11You're gorgeous.
00:50:12Like you look famous already.
00:50:15I just think you have just a beautiful simplicity to your voice.
00:50:19You're one that I'm going to think about when we leave here.
00:50:22Like, I wonder what song she's going to sing next.
00:50:25And I feel like I'm going to be just rooting for you.
00:50:27I loved everything about everything you just did.
00:50:31Thank you so much.
00:50:32I mean, it's a yes.
00:50:32I'll go first.
00:50:33It's a yes for me.
00:50:34I'll go second.
00:50:35It's a yes for me.
00:50:36Yes for me.
00:50:37Heck yeah, brother.
00:50:39You get this.
00:50:40You are going to Hollywood Weeks.
00:50:42Nice to meet you, too.
00:50:44My God.
00:50:50Hearing Carrie say that I was one of her favorite people that has walked through the doors,
00:50:53I almost melted in my boots.
00:50:54That's the biggest compliment I've ever received.
00:50:56She was great.
00:50:57Oh.
00:50:58Goodness.
00:51:00It means a lot to me to get up there and stand and represent other moms.
00:51:04And let them know that they're not alone.
00:51:06And let them know that they can still chase their dreams with their little people.
00:51:09Some real juice on that one.
00:51:12Unassuming.
00:51:14Sweet.
00:51:15Perfectly moldable into stardom.
00:51:24Yeah.
00:51:24Are you here?
00:51:27Can you help me put it on the fridge?
00:51:31Good job.
00:51:38Let them know that they can still can still be, please?
00:51:46Hmm
00:51:46Um, Hmm
00:51:59was gone. Oh, man. I remember swearing off TikTok, and now I'm a TikToker.
00:52:11Is he down? Is he down? I'm addicted to TikTok. I'll just go on and say it if anybody wants
00:52:21to intervene.
00:52:33Oh, my. And now I'm actually scrolling, finding talent that somehow makes it in front of us
00:52:41judges. Well, tell us how you made it here. Somebody happened to see me. That's right.
00:52:48What's your dreams in music? I want to go from being a TikTok singer to a real singer,
00:52:54and I also really want a Birkin bag. Oh.
00:52:56Oh. I've been everywhere, man, looking for you, babe. Looking for you, babe. Searching
00:53:03for you, babe.
00:53:05But, Lord, I've had a lot of no's. I don't want to tell you no, because I feel like I'm
00:53:10responsible for bringing you here, but it's a no for me right now.
00:53:13It's going to be a no for me this trip.
00:53:18I agree. It's a no for me.
00:53:21Obviously, I'm learning that TikTok has filters on it to make you sound amazing, so maybe I
00:53:28need to go find those filters and sing on them myself.
00:53:31All right. Tell the world how you arrived here.
00:53:34I had somebody message me, and they were like, hey, come on in.
00:53:36Well, I might have seen you on TikTok, but I must say, currently, I'm 0 for 2 on TikTok
00:53:43referrals.
00:53:44People know where this is going to be.
00:53:47Come on.
00:53:49I think I'm going to be okay.
00:53:51Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
00:53:53I think I ended the slump, Lionel.
00:53:55You are now.
00:53:56Probably leave.
00:54:00Woo!
00:54:02What do you think, Carrie?
00:54:07I'm a yes.
00:54:09Lionel.
00:54:10Congratulations, Luke.
00:54:14It's a yes for me.
00:54:15Hey, awesome.
00:54:17Yes.
00:54:18I'm one for three.
00:54:20There you go.
00:54:21Now is just the time.
00:54:22Thank you guys so much.
00:54:22Both of us are young.
00:54:24Mr. Luke Bryan, thank you so much for getting me here after seeing my TikTok.
00:54:30You did it.
00:54:31Finally.
00:54:32I was told that I saved Luke Bryan's career.
00:54:35And you totally redeemed yourself.
00:54:38All at the pop shop.
00:54:40Woo!
00:54:41Thank you, baby.
00:54:41Thank you, man.
00:54:42Thank you, baby.
00:54:43Let's go.
00:54:44Hell yeah.
00:54:44Thank you, baby.

00:55:02I'm from El Dorado Hills, California.
00:55:04And I'm here with my aunt, Brittany Bateman
00:55:07from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
00:55:10I'm so excited!
00:55:11She lives with me.
00:55:13You're on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
00:55:16So who is your nemesis, or is there not one?
00:55:19Or are there many?
00:55:20I feel like you guys are gonna be in next season as well.
00:55:22I just get this vibe about you.
00:55:24We're gonna start some fights.
00:55:26I think on the show,
00:55:28she's definitely still her silly self.
00:55:31She's a little crazy, and I love it.
00:55:33Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:55:36I have an announcement.
00:55:37What about me?
00:55:38You guys, seriously.

00:55:50So get out there.
00:55:51Get in, Carmen.
00:55:53Okay.
00:55:53She has her own spotlight.
00:55:55She's living out her dream, and that's why I'm here, too.
00:55:58She is music.
00:55:59I mean, she radiates music out of her pores.
00:56:03You look bad.
00:56:04It just explodes.
00:56:05Yeah.
00:56:06She bubbles in light.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:09Carmelita.
00:56:10That's my theme song.
00:56:11You go in there, and you rush it.
00:56:13My lovely Carmelita.
00:56:15Brittany, you could stop to the side and just sing Carmelita.
00:56:17She comes in, and they don't know what this is.
00:56:19That's the entrance.
00:56:21Oh, Melita.
00:56:23I really should do that.
00:56:24Does anyone have a glass and a knife?
00:56:28Why do you have a wine glass?
00:56:30Uh, you'll see.
00:56:35Howdy, howdy, howdy.
00:56:36Hello.
00:56:37Hi.
00:56:37Wait.

00:56:44I have an announcement.
00:56:45Yes.
00:56:45What is the announcement?
00:56:47This is my beautiful niece, Carmelita.
00:56:51That's been her nickname since she was born.
00:56:53Carmelita?
00:56:54That is me.
00:56:55Do you know me?
00:56:56I'm Brittany, Brittany Bateman, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but this is not about me.
00:57:06This is about my amazing, gorgeous, perfect niece, who you're about to hear, and it's
00:57:13insane.
00:57:14Well, if we don't have good things to say, she has a knife, she has a weapon.
00:57:17So all right, Miss Brittany, you can go right there on that X.
00:57:21Be careful.
00:57:21Don't fall over there.
00:57:22Give away the spotlight to the niece.
00:57:25All right, let's hear it.
00:57:26Let's hear it.
00:57:27Okay.
00:57:27Do you guys want this?
00:57:29Yes.
00:57:29For good keeping?
00:57:30Oh, good keeping.
00:57:31Sure.
00:57:31Yes?
00:57:32Let's do it, Miss Carmen.
00:57:34Okay.
00:57:38I woke up with a headache today, cause I've got a mortgage due, and an empty bed to make.
00:57:55Baby, I bet you're happy now, probably found just someone new, who's got his life all figured
00:58:06out.
00:58:09Girl, I thought it was love, girl, I knew it was love, girl, I knew it was love, I guess
00:58:37I
00:58:37could do it.
00:58:38All right.
00:58:41Good job.
00:58:43You have a really pretty voice, like your range is really great, you're hitting some high notes
00:58:49in there.
00:58:50Yeah.
00:58:50But it would be great if you could put some oomph in there.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54We actually might have something to sing together.
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:57Oh.
00:58:58Let's hear y'all do one.
00:58:59Okay.
00:59:00Go ahead.
00:59:00Just sing.
00:59:02Have fun like you're in the living room.
00:59:03You got it.
00:59:04Okay.
00:59:06Let me be your star.
00:59:14I just have to forget the hurt that came before, forget what used to be.
00:59:23The past is on the cutting floor, the future is here with me.
00:59:38It's all you've been needing.
00:59:41It's all here and my heart's bleeding.
00:59:44Let me be your star.
00:59:56That was great.
00:59:58Wow.
01:00:00I learned.
01:00:01Oh, you son of a son.
01:00:02Yeah, I think the, uh.
01:00:03Friends and the family.
01:00:04I learned something.
01:00:06It's very good.
01:00:07It was very present there.
01:00:08We just got to get you to cut loose a little bit.
01:00:11I think the piano is forcing you to be very proper.
01:00:14Oh, you should see me with a band.
01:00:15Well, we got to get you to the band.
01:00:18That's very true.
01:00:19That is very true.
01:00:21I think that the only way she's going to actually understand
01:00:25this thing called roughing up is to put her in a brawl.
01:00:28And the only way to put you in a brawl is to say yes,
01:00:32so you can go to the next level and meet the rest of this
01:00:34crazy class, and you'll understand what this means.
01:00:38Oh, yeah.
01:00:38OK?
01:00:39So it's a yes for me.
01:00:40I think your voice has definitely earned you a yes,
01:00:45but I want to see some fire.
01:00:47I can show it.
01:00:48I kind of believe you can.
01:00:50It's a yes.
01:00:51Hey.
01:00:53Let me see the glass.
01:00:54Boom, boom.
01:00:55Ding, ding, ding.
01:00:56Not too hard there.
01:00:57Not too hard.
01:00:58I need you to come get your golden ticket.
01:01:00Yeah!
01:01:01Oh, my God!
01:01:03I have an announcement.
01:01:05We're going to Hollywood.
01:01:06You're going to holiday.

01:01:24But they will see the fire that is inside me.
01:01:27And they will see me roar.
01:01:28I concur.
01:01:30She didn't seem villainous.
01:01:32No!
01:01:33Nice to meet you!
01:01:35Thank you for coming.
01:01:36Seriously, thank you.
01:01:37By the way, are you still dating Jared?
01:01:40Is that true? Is that real?
01:01:41I was always wondering.
01:01:45Lean on the end
01:01:47When you're not strong
01:01:51I'll be afraid
01:01:53I'll help you carry on
01:01:57For it won't be long
01:02:01Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
01:02:08I just might have a problem

01:02:42It made me happy!
01:02:42She was like, I was like,
01:02:44is she gonna rush the artist?
01:02:46I think it is because, you know,
01:02:48you did your own thing with it.
01:02:50It sounded fresh.
01:02:51And I feel like it was such a smart song choice.
01:02:55It was just, mwah!
01:02:58You know, I'm telling you,
01:02:59familiarity is everything.
01:03:01A big voice.
01:03:03Once you go to the kaboom,
01:03:06it's magnificent.
01:03:08You took that song

01:03:11a million times
01:03:13and you made it
01:03:14very authentically you,

01:04:06My name is Brayden Rumfelt.
01:04:08I'm 22 years old
01:04:09and I'm from
01:04:09Murphy, North Carolina.
01:04:11You still got it.
01:04:13Hey!
01:04:16Oh, no.
01:04:17When I was young,
01:04:18my life revolved
01:04:19around baseball.
01:04:20My twin brother,
01:04:22Kellen,
01:04:22and I
01:04:22played sports
01:04:23constantly.
01:04:25Dad was dead set
01:04:27on us
01:04:27becoming
01:04:28college athletes.
01:04:32Unfortunately,
01:04:33going into high school,
01:04:34I was starting to have
01:04:34knee pain
01:04:35in both of my legs.
01:04:38Then I found out
01:04:39that I have
01:04:40a congenital issue.
01:04:42My legs
01:04:43are naturally
01:04:44in the wrong position.
01:04:48I needed surgery.
01:04:49I needed two
01:04:49lower leg
01:04:51realignments.
01:04:53That put a
01:04:54stop to
01:04:54the dreams
01:04:55of becoming
01:04:55an athlete.
01:04:58It was tough
01:04:59seeing everybody
01:05:00be able to
01:05:00get to do
01:05:01what I wanted
01:05:02to do.
01:05:04As I'm hurt,
01:05:06it kind of
01:05:07hit me like,
01:05:07wait,
01:05:07I feel better
01:05:09when I am singing.
01:05:10And my twin brother,
01:05:12Kellen,
01:05:12was there for me.
01:05:14He was kind of
01:05:15like my voice
01:05:15of encouragement.
01:05:19Growing up
01:05:20until now,
01:05:21I always felt
01:05:21that his talent
01:05:22is music,
01:05:24is singing.
01:05:25And I couldn't
01:05:26be more proud
01:05:27of Brayden
01:05:27because of
01:05:28everything that
01:05:29he's going through,
01:05:30where he's at now
01:05:31with pursuing
01:05:31his new dream.
01:05:32He's my hero.
01:05:35The only reason
01:05:36that I hadn't
01:05:37signed up for
01:05:37American Idol
01:05:38was because
01:05:39I was scared.
01:05:40This is my dream.
01:05:42I didn't know
01:05:42that I would get
01:05:43like a chance
01:05:44like this.
01:05:45So this is
01:05:46really awesome.

01:14:39You have an incredible voice.
01:14:42I feel like we've been waiting for you all day.
01:14:45Tell me about it.
01:14:46When you have a foundation and an instrument like you have,
01:14:49it's just a matter of what song would you like to sing.
01:14:52On this show, it's going to be challenging
01:14:53because you're going to cover everything from Disney songs
01:14:56all the way across to every event that ever happened in life in the music world.
01:15:00You can handle it with that voice any day of the week.
01:15:03I love what you did.
01:15:04Thank you so much.
01:15:06Well, great big voice.
01:15:07You just sang within your means.
01:15:09When I saw you going for the big note,
01:15:11I was like, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, she got it.
01:15:15All right, she saved it for the end.
01:15:17We love our gospel singers, but just get ready to branch out
01:15:20and get ready to do a lot of stuff.
01:15:22You made everything just seem very effortless.
01:15:25Your small notes were beautiful and clear and crisp.
01:15:29You kept things small, and then it grew,
01:15:30and by the end of it, you were just soaring.
01:15:33You are a really talented vocalist.
01:15:36It is a massive yes for me.
01:15:40Yes.

01:15:49Thank you so much.
01:15:51Your girl did it.
01:15:52Woo!
01:15:58I don't even have words to describe
01:16:01what it felt like for them to say,
01:16:03we've been waiting for you.
01:16:05Like, what?

01:16:31Julian, do you remember this kid?
01:16:35Yes.
01:16:35I've thought about him a lot.
01:16:37Really, huh?
01:16:38Ah!
01:16:39Hey, guys.
01:16:41Hi.
01:16:41How are y'all?
01:16:43We're doing great.
01:16:43How are you guys?
01:16:44We're so happy to see you.
01:16:46We're happy to be here.
01:16:48One, two, one, two, three, four.
01:16:54My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan.
01:16:56I'm from El Paso, Texas, and I'm 19 years old.
01:17:01Last year, I'd audition.
01:17:03I had no idea what to expect.
01:17:05Obviously, I was terrified.
01:17:07When I talk about it with my sister,
01:17:09we both say that we kind of just blacked out
01:17:12and gave a performance of our lives, I guess.
01:17:17There's a hole in my chest
01:17:22Knock me down, lay me to rest
01:17:27Drown my thoughts with kerosene
01:17:30I performed an original song called Surrender,
01:17:32which talks about the struggles of anxiety and depression.
01:17:36So I surrender
01:17:39If his world that I've waged
01:17:41I'll raise a flag
01:17:42But fate is in his hands
01:17:45I felt like I was at your show just now.
01:17:47Are you serious?
01:17:48Yeah, I did.
01:17:49Wow.
01:17:49It played like a record.
01:17:51Just star.
01:17:52He's a star.
01:17:53Just a straight up, straight up star.
01:17:57I'll be gone without a sound
01:17:59When my heart fails me and I'm not around
01:18:01Yes!
01:18:02Yes!
01:18:03Hallelujah, yes.
01:18:05Hallelujah!
01:18:07The things that the judges told me
01:18:09I felt like my life was changing in that moment.
01:18:12He may win this thing.
01:18:14He literally might win it.
01:18:17It was one of the greatest moments of my life.
01:18:20Oh, I surrender
01:18:21I'm going all in love
01:18:26Unfortunately, though, I was not able to continue forward.
01:18:31There were shared concerns
01:18:33about my abilities to balance a journey
01:18:36like American Idol
01:18:38and my mental health.
01:18:42I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression
01:18:44my freshman year of high school
01:18:46But I had been struggling with those feelings
01:18:48for a big part of my life
01:18:51I mean, through even elementary and middle school
01:18:54He came up to us and said
01:18:56I am not okay
01:18:57There's something happening with me
01:18:59I mean, it's a knife to your chest
01:19:02because you're thinking
01:19:04You know, what's going on?
01:19:05What's happening?
01:19:06And he said
01:19:07I'm sad all the time
01:19:11For me
01:19:12Anxiety is just like
01:19:14a big wave crashing on you
01:19:16and you just drown
01:19:20I was questioning the value of my life
01:19:24You have to look in the mirror
01:19:26and recognize that
01:19:28mental health professionals
01:19:29need to get involved
01:19:31and that there's no shame in that
01:19:39Music is my lifeline
01:19:42It's what keeps me grounded
01:19:45I had so much to smile about
01:19:47with my audition
01:19:48And I just knew
01:19:49I really regret it
01:19:51if I didn't give this another shot
01:19:52I'm just hoping
01:19:53that whatever I'm doing
01:19:55just reflects the message
01:19:56of just not giving up
01:19:58and most importantly
01:19:59to not be defined
01:20:00by your struggles
01:20:01but by your strengths
01:20:04I choke up just thinking about it
01:20:06because I'm very lucky
01:20:07to be here
01:20:08Life is a gift
01:20:11For you to come back out here
01:20:14to try this
01:20:15We are very happy
01:20:15and proud of you
01:20:16We are so happy to be here
01:20:17Thank you so much
01:20:18So
01:20:19what are you going to do for us?
01:20:20The song today
01:20:21is called Long Guitar
01:20:22I wrote it at a very dark time
01:20:24in my life
01:20:25where I was at a crossroads
01:20:26of deciding whether or not
01:20:27to give up
01:20:28or to keep going
01:20:30And found that
01:20:31it's as simple as just
01:20:32stay one more day
01:20:34That's the message
01:20:36It's been rough
01:20:37We've had some rough years
01:20:39and this song in particular
01:20:41it's suicide prevention
01:20:43basically
01:20:52What do you see
01:20:53when you look at me
01:20:57The blessings that I'm letting go
01:21:00Lord, you forgive so easily
01:21:02It's getting harder to find peace
01:21:07Get the chance to grow old
01:21:10But I'm not the man that I should
01:21:12Never felt travel
01:21:15Hailing by every night
01:21:17Too far gone for prayer
01:21:19Just a boy afraid to die
01:21:26Oh, heartache stare
01:21:29Words unspoken
01:21:30The burden of my flaws
01:21:32An empty chair
01:21:34A family broken
01:21:35Pain is all I cause
01:21:37I should stay
01:21:38I should stay
01:21:41You walk in daydream
01:21:44Thoughts unholy
01:21:45Damn near giving up
01:21:47Hug your mama
01:21:49Till there's just enough
01:21:50To see that old sun rise
01:21:54Mmm
01:21:55I should stay
01:21:59I should stay
01:22:00I should stay
01:22:01Oh, I'll stitch bones
01:22:03And learn to love these remarks
01:22:05Along the way
01:22:06Oh, I should stay
01:22:08Lord, let me stay
01:22:12I got too much to give
01:22:14I gotta love you
01:22:16So say
01:22:16Don't wanna make my old man cry
01:22:19Leave my mama screaming why
01:22:22Guess I'm in this bleeding heart
01:22:25Lighthead in my way
01:22:28To the boy alone
01:22:30In the suffering
01:22:31Thinking no one understands
01:22:33If it's strength that you need
01:22:36You don't have to be a man
