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.

00:05:04Let'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.
00:05:24You know, give you a little moment.

00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:35That.
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.
00:05:59You've been waiting for that.

00:07:57Hi, everyone.
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.
00:08:21Talk 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,
00:08:30did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34No recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39Saw like a quick moment,
00:08:40but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, girl.
00:08:46Insane.
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 re-watched your audition,
00:08:56and, like, you just have notes on notes on notes on notes,
00:08:59and 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 ain't in Arkansas no more, so...
00:09:12Come on!
00:09:12I 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.
00:09:24Starting to sop up tempo.
00:09:26Micaiah needs your votes to move on in the competition.
00:09:28You can vote for her online via text
00:09:30or, for the first time ever,

00:09:45All right, lots to do coming up.
00:09:46Jake Visser delivers some Huey Lewis and the news
00:09:49right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More Idol, right?
00:10:03Back with you on Idol,
00:10:05where we love highlighting the great work
00:10:07being done by Make-A-Wish.
00:10:08I want you to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here,
00:10:11our superstar,
00:10:12who is bravely facing ongoing treatment for a brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol with her family
00:10:21here 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.
00:10:30Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:36Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends at Make-A-Wish for nearly 45 years
00:10:41and is proud to 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 Pais 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,
00:11:02because I was young enough where nobody would ever think to serve me.
00:11:04I was the same way.
00:11:05I did bars from the time I was 10 until I left,
00:11:09and it actually scared me off alcohol for a long time.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13We come from different parts of the country,
00:11:15and we play different styles of music,
00:11:16but we 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.
00:11:35Yeah.
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!
00:11:53You feel the power!
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless,
00:11:56and, you know, sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:59I had a record exec once tell me,
00:12:01make 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!
00:12:07And, 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
00:12:13and really, you know, going for it
00:12:15with facial expressions and body 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
00:12:23that you show, I think, on a song like this.
00:12:25Thank you guys so much.
00:12:26You're great, man.
00:12:27Yay!
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 sing.
00:12:48Change your heart to a little wider.
00:12:50More than a feeling
00:12:53That's a power
00:12:59Don't need money
00:13:01Don't take that
00:13:03Don't need no credit card
00:13:05To ride this train
00:13:07It's strong and it's sudden
00:13:09But it's cruel sometimes
00:13:11Might just save your life
00:13:15Say that all in love
00:13:20Yeah but you don't care
00:13:23With a little
00:13:25Hell from above
00:13:26You feel the power
00:13:29Of love
00:13:31You feel the power
00:13:33Of love
00:13:36First time you feel it it might
00:13:39Make you mad
00:13:40Next time you feel it it might
00:13:42Make you sad
00:13:44But you'll be glad baby
00:13:46When you found
00:13:47That's a power
00:13:49Makes the world go round
00:13:52Don't need money
00:13:54Don't take faith
00:13:56You don't need no credit card
00:13:58To ride this train
00:13:59Tough with a diamond
00:14:01Strong with a steel
00:14:03You won't feel it up
00:14:06Till you feel it
00:14:07You want the power
00:14:09Oh you feel the power
00:14:11You feel the power
00:14:13You feel the power
00:14:15You feel the power
00:14:37The power of love, the Back to the Future soundtrack.
00:14:40Hubert Lewis and the News.
00:14:42You 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, sexy Jake?
00:14:53And then, did you notice, judges, I've never seen you when you get the ugly face?
00:14:59That 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.
00:15:05Bring it.
00:15:06Come on.
00:15:08Brad told me to make it look hard.
00:15:11Bring it.
00:15:12Every time we see you perform, your number one thing is you always look like you're in control of the
00:15:17moment,
00:15:18and you're comfortable, and it looks professional.
00:15:20We've seen you do more laid-back stuff, so it was really fun to see you branch out,
00:15:25do kind of some rock and roll, and that was the best example that I've seen you do that thus
00:15:31far.
00:15:31Great job.
00:15:32Thank you so much.
00:15:32I love how, just even at the beginning, like, everybody is kind of bringing different sides of themselves.
00:15:39Yeah.
00:15:39We know you have a great voice.
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that, but you just looked 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 in the best way.
00:15:50I'll take it.
00:15:51Thank 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, and that moment when you stopped playing,
00:16:00you 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.
00:16:05You saw how all the girls were screaming.
00:16:07Thank you guys so much.
00:16:09I really appreciate it.

00:22:39Aulani has been absolutely incredible.
00:22:42Because we are here for a competition,
00:22:44it does help when you're in those peak pressure moments
00:22:46to be able to look around and be like,
00:22:48okay, look at that palm tree.
00:22:51That palm tree's chilling.
00:22:52I'm going to be chilling, 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 want to meet me.
00:23:08For this round, I'll be singing Pink Pony Club by Chaperone.
00:23:11Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the beach.
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, oh, oh, oh.
00:23:23Sing it.
00:23:24Pink Pony Club, I'm gonna keep on dancing at the beach.
00:23:29It's a real sort of rock and roll energy.
00:23:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:23:35All of this spontaneity.
00:23:37Just like the whimsy when you were starting
00:23:39and you're laughing.
00:23:40And just do it, just do it.
00:23:41I'm not sure if there's like something
00:23:43they can do in the beginning before you get into the song,
00:23:45But I almost wanted to meet you in an intro. Yeah before you get into the song because I feel
00:23:50like that's you
00:23:51Like kind of bring the personality like right out the gate
00:23:53Yes, Kiki almost immediately like saw me as a person. She'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 you all ready to go to the Pink Pony Club?
00:24:09Yes, we are. I just hope that what I want to show comes out the right way on that stage
00:24:13Pink Pony Club
00:24:22All right, I'm gonna need some help on this one y'all, okay?
00:24:26Your eyes sponked her
00:24:28Yeah

00:24:33I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in LA
00:24:37I heard that there's a special place
00:24:42Boys and girls can all be queens every single day
00:24:46I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee
00:24:51Here's Santa Monica
00:24:53I swear it's calling me
00:24:56Won't make my mama proud
00:24:58It's gonna cause a scene
00:25:00She sees her baby girl
00:25:02I know she's gonna scream

00:26:36Wow.
00:26:37Yes!
00:26:38You are who you are, wherever you are.
00:26:41There you go.
00:26:43Singing that anthem, right?
00:26:45Singing that anthem.
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. I love what you did.
00:27:06Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:06I love what you did.
00:27:08I remember, like, early on when you were talking
00:27:11about what kind of artist you wanted to be,
00:27:13you're like, you wanted to occupy that pop-rock space.
00:27:16And I love that you took this giant pop anthem
00:27:19and, like, toughened it up a little bit.
00:27:21I love the gloves. I love the outfit.
00:27:23The second you walk out on stage,
00:27:26it's like, what's this girl about to do?
00:27:29And it's fun. You 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, I'm like,
00:27:37every time you're on stage, my 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.
00:27:47And that's what stars have 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 know right out.
00:27:58Like, 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.

00:28:58and his tribute to the one and only Lionel Richie.
00:29:02Idol is back in just a few minutes.
00:29:04What?
00:29:04Whoa!
00:29:12Well, here we are.
00:29:13Welcome back to American Idol,
00:29:14straight from the beautiful shore of Oahu.
00:29:17You're in the driver's seat and voting for all your favorites.
00:29:19Remember, when you're voting on socials,
00:29:22weigh in by commenting with one first name per comment,

00:29:27Daniel Stalworth 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, good 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.
00:29:54Love the letter that his student left him, encouraging him on this.
00:29:57I have a soft spot in my heart for schoolteachers, my mother being one.
00:30:01And it's like to see a teacher where you know there's a school watching.
00:30:05I'm missing the kids at school for sure, but 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 All 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.
00:30:41Yes!
00:30:41For the first time.
00:30:43All 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.
00:30:52All Night Long!
00:30:58Yeah!
00:30:59Great voice!
00:31:00So this is like the first time I've heard an echo through 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 up.
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, I'm going to be like...
00:31:16Singing this song is definitely a risk, but I would love to honor Lionel Richie's
00:31:21I definitely want to do this song justice.
00:31:29La, la.
00:31:34La, la.
00:31:38Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:31:43Ah!
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.
00:32:06Come on and sing it on.
00:32:08We're going to party, caramble, miesta, wherever.
00:32:13Come on and sing it on.
00:32:17All night long.
00:32:20All night long.
00:32:23All night, all night long.
00:32:24Come on, man.
00:32:25All night, all night long.

00:32:35Come on, boy.
00:32:37Come on.
00:32:37Once you get started, you can't sit down.
00:32:42Yeah.

00:32:57From a leave, they say, Xyeno, y'all.
00:32:59Come on, y'all.
00:33:00Yeah, Xyeno, y'all.
00:33:01We're going to party, caramble, miesta, where we got that.
00:33:04Ooh, you know, oh, want that night.
00:33:06From a leave, they say, Xyeno, y'all.
00:33:08Yeah.
00:33:09Xyeno, y'all.

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
00:34:02and made it yours
00:34:04It was amazing
00:34:05Now
00:34:07I am telling you
00:34:09If you put that out tomorrow
00:34:11I'll spit it with you
00:34:12You got it?
00:34:16Lionel, to that point
00:34:17You 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
00:34:24flipped it on his side
00:34:26and made it
00:34:27a totally new song
00:34:29And I'm telling you
00:34:30It was so refreshing
00:34:32Thank you
00:34:34Props
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
00:34:43and it was the vibe
00:34:44But seeing you with the band
00:34:45and the way that you were engaging
00:34:46with 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
00:34:51Thank you
00:34:52Thank you
00:34:53Daniel, 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
00:35:00You were trying to beat you
00:35:01Exactly
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
00:35:11And just have some fun with it
00:35:13Keep getting looser
00:35:15Thank you, thank you

00:35:21But look at that

00:35:23Engage the core

00:35:32You might be the best singer in this competition
00:35:37Luke! That's right
00:35:38And so, take that seriously
00:35:41But not too seriously

00:37:02How are you enjoying being on the panel, Kiki?
00:37:04I mean, this is fabulous
00:37:05I'm up here with incredible company
00:37:07I mean, Lionel, you know you're my best friend now
00:37:09My brand new old friend
00:37:11I'm just having the time of my life
00:37:12And 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
00:37:27What?
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
00:37:37No!
00:37:40Watch what we have unearthed
00:37:42Carrie!
00:37:42No, what?
00:37:44So, Kiki, you're going to be a huge, huge star
00:37:46No!
00:37:47I want to know what you're going to do with all your money
00:37:49No, they did not
00:37:51I'm going to get a house
00:37:52I'm going to give some money to my parents
00:37:54That'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
00:38:04I'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
00:38:13Who are you?
00:38:15Watch this, watch this
00:38:21Let's do it
00:38:24What's that?
00:38:27What?
00:38:28Oh!
00:38:31Oh!
00:38:32Let's do it
00:38:33Let's do it
00:38:35Let's do it
00:38:36Let's do it
00:38:37Oh my God, they're so good
00:38:39Oh my god, they're so good
00:38:43Oh my god
00:38:53You guys, where did you dig that up?
00:38:57Well, it was difficult, but we found it about an hour ago.
00:39:03You were destined to be a star.
00:39:04That was absolutely magical when we saw you there 9 years old.
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
00:39:18that she was dancing to there in the audition, right?
00:39:21Could you just maybe show these three what it's like to have some rhythm?
00:39:26Come on now.
00:39:36Let's go, Lionel. Let's go.
00:39:38Let's get it again.
00:39:39Hey, hey, hey.
00:39:42Oh, oh.
00:39:43Hi, I saw one of these.
00:39:45Come on.
00:39:55Kiki Paul, everybody.
00:39:56Hi.
00:39:58So good, honey.
00:40:00So insane.
00:40:01Oh, my God.
00:40:02All right.
00:40:02Up next in starting her own idol journey is Nashville, Tennessee's Kindle.
00:40:08Here we go.
00:40:13We're not 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.
00:40:46I'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 like 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
00:41:09I 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.
00:41:23I 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, those who may be questioning whether they should
00:41:40keep going or not, do.
00:41:51Oh, you're spiraling again.
00:41:56The moment right before it ends.
00:41:59You're most afraid of.
00:42:01Stayed 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.
00:42:17All lights turned off can be turned on.
00:42:23I'll drive, I'll drive all night.
00:42:29I'll call your mom.
00:42:40God.
00:42:59Go!
00:43:00Oh my god.
00:43:00Jesus, don't let this darkness fool you.
00:43:15All lights turned off can be turned on.
00:43:21I'll drive, I'll drive all night.
00:43:25I'll call your mom.
00:43:31I'll drive, I'll drive.
00:43:38I'll call your mom.
00:43:50There she is, the winner of our industry platinum ticket, Kendall.
00:43:55Way to go.
00:43:56And the industry is still here.
00:43:59They just extended their stay.
00:44:00Hi, guys.
00:44:00Oh, my gosh.
00:44:00You stood there.
00:44:01Hi.
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, you sound beautiful, the bob is bobbing, okay?
00:44:12And I'm so glad that you decided not to do the guitar because to see those hands free
00:44:17and just watching you kind of embody the whole vibe of the song, we went right there with you.
00:44:21Wow.
00:44:22You transported us into your world, and I loved it there.
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.
00:44:48No matter what you sing, whether you write the song or it's someone else's, you present
00:44:54it like an artist presents it.
00:44:57That cry in your voice is just so intoxicating to listen to, and I'm with Carrie on that.
00:45:04I was just like hanging on every word, and 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.
00:45:17Wow.
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 on our official American Idol account

00:45:37Kindle, everyone, great 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.
00:45:52The Cutter fans are out.
00:45:55Oh, 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.
00:46:03You are a flipping star.
00:46:07You are a star.
00:46:08You are a star.
00:46:08Yes, you are.
00:46:16Looking good.
00:46:18You'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.
00:46:48There'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, but also we're here with 20 of my friends.
00:47:01Made a lot of memories with friends.
00:47:02I'm 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?
00:47:20What?
00:47:20Now let's see how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer helped Cutter Bradley on his epic Daughtry song
00:47:25pick.
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, and 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 of 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'll remember this for the rest of my life.
00:47:56I was blown away, what 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.
00:48:17Why?
00:48:17Because, 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?
00:48:39You got 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.
00:48:54Let's start over and try to do it right this time around.
00:49:00I just kept looking at that hand thinking, this is a guy who's not used to doing this.
00:49:03And sure enough, that was true.
00:49:05Guys like me that play the guitar, the first time that you're like, you're going to just sing
00:49:08this this evening with a microphone.
00:49:10It's like, what do I do with my hands?
00:49:12I look ridiculous.
00:49:13If 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.
00:49:31I was blown away.
00:49:34What could I say?
00:49:35It all seemed to make sense.
00:49:38You're taking away everything.
00:49:42And I can't deal with that.
00:49:45I try to see the good in life.
00:49:48The good things in life are hard to find.
00:49:52We'll blow it away.
00:49:53We'll blow it away.
00:49:55Can we make this something good?
00:50:01When I try to do it right this time around.
00:50:04It's not over.
00:50:08Try to do it right this time around.
00:50:11It's not over.
00:50:14A part of me is standing in the grass.
00:50:17This love is killing me.
00:50:22But you're the only one.
00:50:24It's not over.
00:50:29Let it out.
00:50:31Let it out.
00:50:33Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:35Let it out.
00:50:38Let it out.
00:50:39Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:42Let it out.
00:50:44Let it out.
00:50:46Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:49Let it out.
00:50:55It's not over.
00:50:58I try to do it right this time around
00:51:01It's not over
00:51:04Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
00:51:08This love is killing me
00:51:13But you're the only one
00:51:15It's not over
00:51:29There he is!
00:51:31Well done, flashback Daughtry!
00:51:34Man, spending time with him, seeing you do that so many years later
00:51:37Your dad head banging down there in the audience
00:51:41He was singing along as well
00:51:42Yeah, he was, I was singing
00:51:43He was listening in stereo there
00:51:46Judges, what'd you think?
00:51:47Lionel Richie.
00:51:48Well, I'll tell you what I was listening to.
00:51:50Carrie didn't miss not one note.
00:51:52Not one lyric.
00:51:54Okay, and between that and 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 in your wheelhouse.
00:52:05You were very, very in pocket.
00:52:08And it showed.
00:52:09It showed really 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 performing yesterday, it was great.
00:52:17We had the vibe.
00:52:18But with the band and the element going,
00:52:20I can see you just embodying it.
00:52:22And this is definitely your lane, for sure.
00:52:23Boom!
00:52:24Thank you so much.
00:52:25Your lane is, that'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.
00:52:43You're exactly where you're supposed to be,
00:52:44doing what you're supposed to be doing.
00:52:48Remember to breathe, Cutter.
00:52:50Remember to breathe.
00:52:51There was a couple times I was like,
00:52:53the boy's running out of air.
00:52:55But I'll 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 and you're getting better and better
00:53:12with every performance.
00:53:13A lot of energy on that one and be very proud of it.
00:53:16I love it.
00:53:17Thank you so much.
00:53:17Thank y'all.
00:53:20So cool comic collected.
00:53:22So growing up, you and Dad would listen to that in the car?
00:53:25Oh, yeah.
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 it?
00:53:31Oh, yeah.
00:53:32Sometimes, you know, we got a little, you know.
00:53:35Well, you're all here safe and sound.

00:54:48We're going to keep things rolling right now.
00:54:50Here is the lesson bratting Kiki had for college student,
00:54:54Jesse Finling.
00:55:04Welcome to Aulani, everybody.
00:55:06Right this way.
00:55:08My family is my biggest support system.
00:55:10Being able to, like, have that moment to be with them
00:55:12and do something fun, like the treasure hunt experience,
00:55:15was really special to me.
00:55:16Looks like me in the morning.
00:55:18My mom and dad went on their honeymoon here.
00:55:20They've always said that they were 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.
00:55:33I'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 and 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.
00:55:57It's a song that I connect to.
00:55:59You found me
00:56:04When I was little, having a stutter made me introverted.
00:56:08There's been times where I felt lost.
00:56:11I was more of a shy kid and kind of anxious.
00:56:13I've always said, I don't know if it's just being in Hawaii.
00:56:15Sure.
00:56:15It was a lot more gritty than 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 in a good way.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26American Idol has been one 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 group.
00:56:35Come on, Link.
00:56:38I think have fun out there and you're going to nail this.
00:56:40I think it's ironic that I'm singing a song about being lost and insecure in a moment
00:56:44where I feel like found and like the best I ever have.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm proud of myself.
00:56:58I found God on the corner of Thirst and Amistad where the West was all but one.
00:57:10Where were you when everything was falling apart?
00:57:18All my days were spent by a telephone that never rang.
00:57:27And all I needed was a home that never came to the corner of Thirst and Amistad.
00:57:39Lost and insecure.
00:57:41You found me, you found me, you found me, lying on the floor.
00:57:49Surrounded, surrounded, why do you have to wait?
00:57:56You found me, you found me.
00:58:04Early morning, the city breaks.
00:58:09I've been falling for years and years and years and years and years.
00:58:16You never left me no messages.
00:58:19You never sent me no letters.
00:58:22You got some kind of nerve.
00:58:26You're taking all I'm for.
00:58:34Lost and insecure.
00:58:37You found me, you found me, you found me, lying on the floor.
00:58:44Where were you?
00:58:48Oh, my man.
00:58:55Why'd you have to wait?
00:59:19I think we can just go to the voting right now after something like that and chanting.
00:59:28Take a look at four judges on their feet.
00:59:30Wow.
00:59:31In the beginning, those first couple notes, I said, now what's going on?
00:59:34You know, I wasn't sure what we were headed.
00:59:36But obviously, we all feel a little nerves and you've been singing, you've been rehearsing.
00:59:39But 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, everything
00:59:46after that was perfection.
00:59:49Thanks, Kiki.
00:59:49And you closed it in very strong.
00:59:51And that long note, I'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.
00:59:58I, 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.
01:00:10And the way that you, like, shook it off and sunk into the song.
01:00:14I mean, that's the most, you know, movement we've seen from you.
01:00:19And it was working.
01:00:20It was wonderful.
01:00:22And 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.
01:00:31I was like, all right, Jessie, where you 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'd look around and I'd be like,
01:00:41oh, my God, how did I get here?
01:00:43Yeah.
01:00:43Those emotions are fun to have to battle and battle back.
01:00:47Yes.
01:00:47And 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 your
01:00:53voice thus far.
01:00:55That's right.
01:00:55Thank you, Luke.
01:00:56I was praying the whole time, grab the mic.
01:00:59Take it out of the stand.
01:01:01Command the stage.
01:01:03Take charge.
01:01:04And you did it.
01:01:06Thanks, Lyman.
01:01:07I mean, that's how you get the crowd to go right to you.
01:01:13That was fantastic.
01:01:14Thanks, Lyman.
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:16And you sing now for your mom.
01:01:18That's one of her favorite songs.
01:01:19My mom loves the phrase.
01:01:20She's right over there.
01:01:21One of her favorite songs.
01:01:22So I'm glad I 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!
01:01:57Jesse!
01:01:58Jesse!
01:01:59Jesse!
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, 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.
01:02:55Get 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.
01:03:07Yeah.
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.
01:03:21Your 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.
01:04:25Oh, fear is a tide with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:04:32Fear is a lie, 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.
01:04:57A war between death and life.
01:05:00There on the tree, the Lamb of God was crucified.
01:05:06Then he went on down to hell.
01:05:09Took back every key.
01:05:12He rose up as a lion.
01:05:14And he said 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 way to hold his body down.
01:05:40When he heard that trumpet sound, he rose up out of the ground.
01:05:49There ain't no way to hold his body down.
01:05:56Can't hold him down.
01:05:59There ain't no way to hold his body down.
01:06:06There ain't no way to hold his body down.
01:06:07Hold his body down.
01:06:10Mmm.
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,
01:06:43Okay, that means we're listening.
01:06:45And you got our attention.
01:06:46You did a great job.
01:06:47Thank you so much.
01:06:48Appreciate it.
01:06:49First of all, everybody performs different.
01:06:51I think that's the big part of this competition, right?
01:06:54It's like not doing what you think you should do, really embodying what you bring to the stage.
01:06:58And that's what you did.
01:07:00You don't have to do what nobody do.
01:07:01Because when you start singing, girl, and you was pointing, you was commanding to us, we were locked in.
01:07:06It was excellent.
01:07:08Thank you so much.
01:07:08It 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.
01:07:42We got a glimpse of, like, a fire that is in you.
01:07:45Yeah.
01:07:46That I feel like the more you go through this whole 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.
01:07:58When I would be on stage, I'd be like, I'd look out, I'd be like, what are you doing out
01:08:02there, 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 start thinking about
01:08:09what I was doing.
01:08:11Try not to.
01:08:11Just tell the story and don't worry about what any of this is doing because I feel like we got
01:08:16some glimpses of 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.

01:09:06Keep 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 pastor.
01:09:22My dad's a kid.
01:09:22Look at us.
01:09:23We turned out all right.
01:09:23Right.
01:09:24Little 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.
01:09:32And you got me like, oh.
01:09:37What you want from me?
01:09:41Brayden, Brayden, Brayden.
01:09:43Yeah, man.
01:09:43He blew me away.
01:09:44I mean.
01:09:45Baby, 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 go, wait a
01:09:56minute.
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 you, 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 for me.
01:10:59What you want for me.
01:11:00And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but the price was too high.
01:11:07Baby, you got me like, oh, you love when I fall apart.
01:11:15Fall apart.
01:11:16So you can put me together.
01:11:19Roll me against the wall.
01:11:24And baby, I fish fight with fire just to get close.
01:11:30Can we burn something, baby?
01:11:34And I'll run for miles just to get a taste.
01:11:39Must be love on the brain, yeah.
01:11:44That's got me feeling this race.
01:11:48It beats me black and blue, but it loves me so good, and I can't get enough.
01:11:55Must be love on the brain, yeah.
01:12:01And it keeps cursing my name, cursing my name.
01:12:05No matter what I do, I'm no good without you, and I can't get enough.
01:12:12You got me like I, I.
01:12:20Don't you stop loving me, don't quit loving me, just start loving me.
01:12:27Must be love, must be love.
01:12:36Don't stop loving me, don't quit loving me, oh, I can't get enough.
