TVTranscript
00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I'm just incapable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:15Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44This is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:50Front Row
00:01:52You should be very proud of how far you've come
00:01:57But for now, your journey
00:02:02It's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back Row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:15So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap.
00:02:21How did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survive the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round
00:02:31when the judges review all the performances
00:02:33in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:37It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end.
00:02:41And I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week,
00:02:54you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours
00:03:06coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing,
00:03:11but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger, when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:26I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:30The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32and now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me
00:03:55So I can be far too ashamed
00:04:02To do it with you watching me
00:04:06Please stay where you are
00:04:11Don't come any closer
00:04:15Don't try to change my mind
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark
00:04:32It feels like we're oceans apart
00:04:43There's so much space between us
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated
00:04:52Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:04:55Look at that control
00:04:57Everything changed me
00:05:02We're not the only ones
00:05:05I don't regret nothing
00:05:07I said, you know I'll always be
00:05:11It is the world to me
00:05:14That you are in my life
00:05:16I want to live and not just survive
00:05:27That's why I can't love you in the dark
00:06:08There's so many things I want to say that I was trying to kick you out of the room because
00:06:12I'm so jealous of you
00:06:13But your first note, Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere
00:06:18No kidding
00:06:19And what a pro dynamic of singing
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life right now to be discovered on this platform
00:06:29And I'm so excited to see your future
00:06:32Thank you, Bill
00:06:33Thank you
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result
00:06:40The spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls
00:06:43Including 29-year-old singer-songwriter
00:06:47Kendall Inskeep
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage, it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable
00:06:52So it's such a challenge to speak because you only have one shot
00:06:55To really be authentic to who you are
00:06:59I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church
00:07:04And we would sing together
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from is my mom
00:07:09I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville
00:07:13And actually came to Belmont
00:07:14Came here for maybe 60 days
00:07:17But we are still alumni
00:07:18And we're here for only 60 days
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers
00:07:25The song is a little bit more lively
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand
00:07:29So it's not really in my comfort zone
00:07:32Um, how are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy
00:07:35You're nervous?
00:07:36I get that a little bit
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity for me to really show
00:07:41I can also be free-spirited and fun and joyful in my performance
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage
00:07:52Okay
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:07:59When the call came down to wind
00:08:02Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:06I was broad but I was kind
00:08:11Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:20Clear your heart
00:08:24Cut the cord
00:08:26Are we human?
00:08:30Or are we dead, sir?
00:08:34My sign is vital
00:08:36My hands are cold
00:08:40And I'm on my knees
00:08:43Looking for the answer
00:08:46Are we human?
00:08:50Or are we dancers?
00:08:55Will your sister be alright
00:08:58When you held me down the line
00:09:02There's no message we're receiving
00:09:05Don't you know it's in your heart beating?
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Are we dancers?
00:09:18Are we dancers?
00:09:19My sign is vital
00:09:21My hands are cold
00:09:25And I'm on my knees
00:09:28Looking for the answer
00:09:31Are we human?
00:09:33Or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we dancers?
00:09:43Or are we dancers?
00:09:52Thank you
00:09:56You got such a cool voice, Kendall
00:09:58Thank you so much
00:09:59And I love how this time you switched it up
00:10:01And you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03That you know
00:10:04It was a lot more energetic
00:10:06And you felt comfortable in both spaces
00:10:08So I think you should be really proud of that
00:10:11Thank you so much
00:10:12I love it
00:10:14I love it
00:10:15That voice
00:10:15Oh my god
00:10:17It's cool
00:10:17And she's comfortable
00:10:18She's so comfortable
00:10:21I can
00:10:21I'm gonna cry
00:10:23Because
00:10:25I'm gonna cry
00:10:26Because I just
00:10:27Like was so nervous
00:10:29Going on
00:10:30I'm very happy
00:10:31With the way that that just went
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie
00:10:37To see if they've done enough
00:10:38To survive
00:10:39The first round of cuts
00:10:41Would the following people
00:10:42Please step forward
00:10:45Jessie
00:10:47Kendall

00:10:52To become the next American Idol

00:12:25I would be
00:12:26Right here
00:12:27Ever
00:12:27It's just
00:12:28Kind of a dream
00:12:29That I don't realize
00:12:30That I'm living
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity
00:12:32For me
00:12:32Coming to the stage
00:12:33Here's Cutter Bradley
00:12:36I've moved away from home
00:12:37To do this dream
00:12:38Kind of left everything behind
00:12:40And so I want to stay
00:12:42Really bad
00:12:49I woke up in my booze
00:12:52This morning
00:12:53I fell asleep in my booze
00:12:57Last night
00:12:58I had a feeling
00:13:00That I run out of my hands
00:13:03Well girl
00:13:04I couldn't have been more around
00:13:09And I woke up in my booze
00:13:11This morning
00:13:13I fell asleep in my booze
00:13:16Last night
00:13:17And I knew I wouldn't have to take
00:13:19The time putting them back on
00:13:20When I'm sober
00:13:21Yeah I knew you'd be pissed off over me
00:13:24And I'd just be hungover
00:13:26And I didn't need to take them off
00:13:31I woke up in my booze
00:13:34This morning
00:13:41Thank you
00:13:42Thank you
00:13:42I feel like you've got
00:13:44Like a solid voice
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range
00:13:47You were like a lion
00:13:49Like pacing back and forth
00:13:50Like getting ready to like
00:13:52Bust out of the cage
00:13:53Easy
00:13:53Easy
00:13:54It was good
00:13:55Slow down
00:13:56Slow down
00:13:56Slow down
00:13:56It was good
00:13:57It was good
00:13:57Thank you
00:13:58Thank you
00:14:02This microphone is revealing
00:14:04A lot of singers
00:14:10So happy to be here
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas
00:14:14I'm going to be singing
00:14:16I'm going to be singing
00:14:17I Can't Make You Love Me
00:14:18By Bonnie Raitt
00:14:19Good song
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol
00:14:21Because I want to show that
00:14:24Your story
00:14:24Your pain
00:14:25Can be used to be your greatest power
00:14:27Absolutely
00:14:28Thank you
00:14:31Well I feel really really lucky to be here in Hollywood week
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here
00:14:39Welcome back
00:14:40Thank you
00:14:41Last year I wasn't able to experience this round
00:14:45Because of my mental health
00:14:47You were born enough
00:14:50I feel proud of myself
00:14:52For making it here
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing
00:14:56A lot of learning
00:14:57And so this year
00:14:58I'm definitely feeling
00:14:59Much more well prepared
00:15:01And confident
00:15:02But I'm always nervous
00:15:04I mean
00:15:05Why wouldn't you be nervous
00:15:06In Hollywood week
00:15:08Up until this point
00:15:09I've only performed
00:15:10My own songs
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking
00:15:12About this first cover for us
00:15:14I'm really pushing myself with this one
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection
00:15:18To bring out emotion
00:15:20For a song that you're covering
00:15:24It demands more of me
00:15:25So the pressure's on
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking
00:15:30Just thinking about it
00:15:31Honestly
00:15:31But I just thought
00:15:32I'd regret it
00:15:33If I showed up to Hollywood week
00:15:35And I didn't push myself
00:15:38Turn down the light
00:15:42Turn down the bed
00:15:44Turn down these voices
00:15:48Inside my head
00:15:52Lay down with me
00:15:55Tell me no lies
00:16:00Just hold me close
00:16:03Don't patronize
00:16:07Don't patronize me
00:16:15Cause I can make you love me
00:16:20If you don't
00:16:22You can make your heart feel
00:16:28Something in the dark
00:16:34In these final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:42I will lay down my heart
00:16:44And I'll feel the power
00:16:46But you won't
00:16:49But you won't
00:16:50No, you won't
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me
00:17:01If you don't
00:17:05If you don't
00:17:09If you don't
00:17:13If you don't
00:17:28Let me don't
00:17:29If you love me
00:17:33In the fucking world
00:17:36I will lay down my heart
00:17:37I'll lay down my heart
00:17:37You'll how to keep it together up here
00:17:38My favorite part about that is when you hit your first note the crowd screams
00:17:43You smile and your smile was so big you almost couldn't sing the next line
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future and
00:17:54That was the first of many great experiences for you, and we're just glad we get to watch
00:18:15I feel like every time I go on stage
00:18:18I still struggle with that self-doubt and I just get proven wrong every single time
00:18:22And it's really starting to feel like a blessing and I'm not ready to go home. Not at all
00:18:27Why am I so nervous? I know right not easy cutter
00:18:39Julian you are still chasing that American Idol dream
00:18:50Is it a whirlwind for you it's more than a whirlwind it's magic it's actual magic
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life
00:18:58Oh
00:19:02Welcome back to American Idol where professor carries Hollywood week lessons have some students turning against her
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song
00:19:14They just like to boo me there were notes that were just like
00:19:19Awesome, and then I was hearing some that I was like what's happening right now, so I'm kind of like
00:19:25I'm it
00:19:27I heard it too. I heard it too. I'm just not sure that was the right song
00:19:31She only won this she knows
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion
00:19:39But mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass it was a little shaky to start
00:19:44I think make sure you do songs that really showcase that grit that you have. Thank you so much
00:19:52Why don't they do you you know, I'm trying to get booed
00:19:56Ask them you're not gonna boo him
00:19:59You're not gonna boo him
00:20:04I'm getting used to it getting used to it
00:20:08Hoping to get on carries good side by living up to his name
00:20:14Is 24 year old true the star
00:20:19My first audition that's on the ballot, so I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much
00:20:24as I wanted to
00:20:26And how are you working on it just being myself?
00:20:30The song I will be singing this love and happiness by our green it shows my personality and how I
00:20:35like to move around and perform
00:20:37Is more about being true yourself me a hundred percent. Well go have some fun be you and let's get
00:20:42it done
00:20:51So what's on the phone line three o'clock in the morning?
00:20:56Yeah, yeah talking about

00:21:31Love and happiness
00:21:37Love and happiness
00:21:47Love and happiness
00:21:50Love and happiness
00:21:54Love and happiness
00:21:59All right
00:22:00I feel like it's standing for Him
00:22:00Whose job
00:22:02Look at all
00:22:04I find your right
00:22:04You are so not good
00:22:04Turns out
00:22:04Utah
00:22:06Well, your name is True the Star, and you get a band, and then you start getting choreography
00:22:13and swagger, but the song didn't necessarily show everybody how great and dynamic your
00:22:22voice is, but it showed us how dynamic you are as an artist.
00:22:28Keep being yourself.
00:22:43While True waits to see if his authenticity keeps him at the top of the class, the pressure
00:22:48is on for Sheldon, who hopes to do the same.
00:22:51The new thing I've discovered about Idol is that it's really stripping me right back to
00:22:55basics.
00:22:57I've done a lot of TV shows, and I've always completely covered up in a mask, and it's
00:23:01avant-garde.
00:23:02There's crystals and diamonds, sequins, big gowns, big dresses.
00:23:05This is the most stripped-back, vulnerable version of myself ever.
00:23:12For this round, I'll be singing Good Luck Babe by Chuckle Run.
00:23:16The vocal in this performance is a lot bigger than my normal ones.
00:23:20I challenge myself with a big track.
00:23:27It's the first time my voice has ever cracked, and it cracked bad, real bad.
00:23:32Am I freaking out about it?
00:23:34Yeah.
00:23:34It's definitely in my head.
00:23:36Trust.
00:23:37Take a break.
00:23:37Take a breath.
00:23:38Just relax.
00:23:39Trust that you know what you're doing up there.
00:23:42Beating myself up a little bit over it.
00:23:43Maybe it's because I don't have everything on.
00:23:46Maybe it's because I'm doing something completely different, but I've come a long way.
00:23:50This is like the side of me that I've kept away from a lot of people.
00:23:55I've got a lot on the line here.
00:24:10It's fine, it's cool, you can say that you are nothing, but you know the truth.
00:24:19And guess I'm the fool.
00:24:24With your arms out like an angel through the chorus of you.
00:24:29I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:34You only want to be the one that I call, baby.
00:24:39I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:43You only want to be the one that I call, baby.
00:24:48You could kiss a hundred boys in bars, shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling.
00:24:57You could say it's just the way you are, make a new excuse, another stupid reason.
00:25:05Good Lord, oh good Lord, you have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.
00:25:29I have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.
00:25:41You're welcome.
00:25:49Thank you very much.
00:25:50Wow.
00:25:51All right.
00:25:53Welcome to America.
00:25:55Thank you so much.
00:25:55It's an honor to be here, really.
00:25:57It's hard to believe that you spent most of your career behind a mask.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Now you are revealing not only your face, but your amazing talent and your voice.
00:26:11Amazing talent.
00:26:13Um, this could be your home.
00:26:17I would love to be here.
00:26:20Congratulations, man.
00:26:21Thank you, everyone.
00:26:26Just the most nervous thing ever.
00:26:28I mean, I've done this a lot of times, and of all the shows I've been on, this is the
00:26:30biggest cut I've ever seen.
00:26:35If I call your name, step forward, please.
00:26:41Sheldon.
00:26:42Can't reach your mind, can't borrow time, but I don't wanna live without it.
00:26:48You're going through, you're gonna have to sweat it out in the golden room for a little longer.
00:26:52Say it to me louder.
00:26:57True.
00:26:58Say it to me louder.
00:27:02You'll be joining them all, sir.
00:27:13My heart's going crazy.
00:27:15American Idol have the best of the best, and I wanted to compete with the best of the best.
00:27:19I feel like this is destiny.
00:27:21This is how I'm in the V.
00:27:22We ain't done yet.
00:27:23There's more.
00:27:23There's more to come.
00:27:24Let's keep going until the wheels fall off.
00:27:26Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:31Audience on your feet!
00:27:32Make some noise for Jason Arndt!
00:27:35Back in our city auditions, Jason's team helped him knock it out of the park.
00:27:40I'm here with the Texas Tailgaters, which is entertainment baseball.
00:27:44Ow!
00:27:45I got into it, actually, as a singer.
00:27:46Going forward, it's just taking this part of you seriously.
00:27:52And now, in Hollywood Week, he must prove himself on his own.
00:27:55If you're calling bound, my heart is still yours.
00:27:59I should've listened to it a little more.
00:28:03On those choruses, make sure you enunciate through them on those big notes.
00:28:08The devil's in the details.
00:28:10And I still love you.
00:28:17Jason, this is the end of your American Idol journey.
00:28:20I think my buddies would be more than proud of me.
00:28:23I gave you everything I had.
00:28:25That's all I can do.
00:28:26And for so many others, giving their all still had them coming up short.
00:28:31Maddie.
00:28:33Kitty.
00:28:35Landon.
00:28:36This is the end of the road.
00:28:38Thank you very much.
00:28:39I might have just not really been as, like, prepared as I would have liked to be.
00:28:45I've never really sung on a stage by myself before.
00:28:48I think I gave great rocks to our lives, but maybe I didn't, my body language didn't say it.
00:28:53You know, I tried my hardest.
00:28:55But it wasn't enough.
00:28:57Someday you'll be gone.
00:29:01And I used to fear nothing at all.
00:29:06But for Julianne, she ends her journey with a risk that didn't pay off, performing her original song.
00:29:13And I'm close to the end.
00:29:14Julianne, I am sorry to tell you that your American Idol journey ends right now.
00:29:23Even though my journey with American Idol is over, it's been such a great experience.
00:29:28I'm gonna keep writing music, and this has inspired me, and I hope that my song could inspire other people.
00:29:39I hope everybody back there can hear me.
00:29:41I hope all of the contestants can hear me.
00:29:43When the stars align for you guys, when you're on a stage like this, is when you sing a song
00:29:50that somebody's just been waiting to hear.
00:29:52A song that somebody loves.
00:29:54And you crush it.
00:29:55Make some noise here!
00:29:5722-year-old Moore!
00:30:01Moore!
00:30:03What's up, everybody?
00:30:05I'm Moore.
00:30:06I'm gonna be singing an original for you guys today.
00:30:10I'm definitely taking a risk.
00:30:12It's a risk that paid off for Moore in the past.
00:30:14I'm a songwriter at heart, and my audition was nothing short of a blessing.
00:30:22You were taking from me years ago, someone I never got to know.
00:30:28I was able to sing my original song, and that meant a lot to me.
00:30:32That writing was very cool.
00:30:34Thank you so much.
00:30:35Very, very cool.
00:30:35That means the world to me.
00:30:36I feel like I've got a story to tell that can impact and heal people, because music has healed me.
00:30:40There's definitely moments where I have doubts whether this is the right choice or not.
00:30:44Head on up.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:45Especially a song that you wrote that no one knows.
00:30:47He's no band?
00:30:48No band.
00:30:48It's original.
00:30:49It puts a lot of weight on the performance itself.
00:30:53This song's called How to Love You.
00:31:22How to Love You
00:31:29Can't fix it now
00:31:31When you're already
00:31:34Picturing the end
00:31:39And I'm lost
00:31:42On how to love you
00:31:48Oh, I'm lost
00:31:51On how to love you
00:31:56It's good, though
00:31:57Oh, and I can't go
00:32:02Without you
00:32:07And I'm wondering
00:32:09When I'll find you
00:32:11Will I find myself
00:32:17Cause I'm lost
00:32:21On how to love you
00:32:31Thank you guys so much
00:32:33Oh my gosh
00:32:34I feel you guys are gonna boo me
00:32:37You're gonna boo me
00:32:38It's coming, just bring it on
00:32:41I love it
00:32:44Your booze are feeding me
00:32:48In a room like this
00:32:49For you to bring an original song
00:32:51With that incredible band
00:32:53Sitting behind you
00:32:54Like twiddling their thumbs
00:32:55I feel like it was just
00:32:56A missed opportunity
00:32:57And I love your voice
00:33:00Thank you
00:33:01I love you
00:33:01I understand
00:33:02I understand
00:33:03Thank you, though
00:33:04But I loved
00:33:06Like being in an intimate room
00:33:08With you like that
00:33:09And listening to
00:33:10You know, you tell your story
00:33:13Um, I feel like you took a risk here
00:33:15And, uh
00:33:21It paid off
00:33:22Thank you
00:33:26I don't regret my decision
00:33:27I love being able to do that song
00:33:28For all those people
00:33:29That's what we want
00:33:30Give me more of that
00:33:32More
00:33:33Please step forward
00:33:37You are going to the golden room
00:33:39Your journey with us continues
00:33:42Let's go, baby
00:33:43I'm in the consideration for top 30
00:33:45The fact that I have made it this far
00:33:47With original music
00:33:48It just gives me the confidence
00:33:49To know that
00:33:50This is what I want to do
00:33:51For the rest of my life
00:33:57I'm just so grateful
00:33:58To friggin' be here

00:34:13I still see your face
00:34:16And the white horse
00:34:18Cry us
00:34:20And draw past the places
00:34:22We used to go to
00:34:26Cause you know us

00:35:13Up next is Ray
00:35:14Who wowed the judges
00:35:16In auditions
00:35:17With her dad by her side
00:35:32What does it mean for you to be here right now
00:35:34To finally be here
00:35:35My dad actually suffered from a stroke
00:35:39A year ago
00:35:40A severe one
00:35:41I almost lost him
00:35:42And he's here with me right now
00:35:45Oh, so great
00:35:48After an emotional audition
00:35:49How have you gotten ready for today?
00:35:51Are you ready with the song?
00:35:53Have you rehearsed it enough?
00:35:53How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay
00:36:00Wasn't the best
00:36:01I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes
00:36:04So like when you didn't hit the notes
00:36:06You're wearing it on your face
00:36:07Yeah
00:36:08I'm like really in my head right now
00:36:11I'm just worried about my dad
00:36:14Because this trip has been really hard on him
00:36:16Like he can't like sit in one spot for too long
00:36:19And he just gets like really tired
00:36:22And I just want to make him proud
00:36:24I want to make it worth his while
00:36:27Here's 24 year old Ray
00:36:40So cold
00:36:43So cold
00:36:46You see me standing
00:36:49But I'm dying on the floor
00:36:53So cold
00:36:55So cold
00:36:58Maybe if I don't cry
00:37:02I won't feel any more so
00:37:06Cold
00:37:08Maybe
00:37:10God knows I'll try to be here
00:37:15But if you know that I am
00:37:21Even if I can't understand
00:37:29If I'm being tired
00:37:36Then I'll be for you
00:37:40I wish I could be this place
00:37:50Oh, I'm happy for you
00:37:55Oh, that I am
00:37:58Even if I can't understand

00:38:47If you were thinking about winning
00:38:50Just keep doing that
00:38:54Incredible
00:38:57And with that, tough decisions must be made
00:39:00Yes, for now
00:39:01She did surprise me
00:39:03She came to kill
00:39:04She just presents it so well
00:39:05By the end of today
00:39:08We will have gone from 127 to 30
00:39:17I hope you all know how difficult this decision has been
00:39:21That said
00:39:22Ruby
00:39:25Ray
00:39:26Mary Jo
00:39:28Please don't take this as a no
00:39:36Because it is not
00:39:37You're still in the mix
00:39:39You all should be so proud of yourselves
00:39:41You've done such an amazing job
00:39:45I can't believe I've made it through
00:39:48I'm really
00:39:48I don't know
00:39:49I'm just
00:39:49Whoa
00:39:50So many emotions
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30
00:39:55So I'm very anxious
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude
00:40:04It's just speaking more life into me
00:40:07So funny
00:40:11Hollywood week is the ultimate test
00:40:15I can do more and push myself more
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you
00:40:22Vocally, you have to stay on point when it matters most
00:40:25Hollywood week has been insane
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key
00:40:35Welcome back to American Idol
00:40:36Where inside the theater
00:40:38Our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chance
00:40:41At this year's top 30
00:40:43Brings it down to his knees
00:40:49God, I've been broken more than a dime or two
00:40:53Yes, Lord
00:40:54But then you pick me up
00:40:56And show me what it means to be a man
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all-American boy
00:41:02Just getting up there, singing your heart
00:41:05And we will see if that was enough
00:41:07But meanwhile in the golden room
00:41:09The hopefuls who have survived the first cut
00:41:12Wait with their fate in the top 30 not established
00:41:15I still could go home
00:41:17I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety
00:41:20He has a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go
00:41:23When the talent's that good
00:41:24I'm nervous for them
00:41:27Every time you hear like the audience
00:41:29A little part of me is like
00:41:30Like let me throw up
00:41:32Here!
00:41:33Genevieve Hayward!
00:41:37Pickle girl
00:41:37Remember Pickle girl, Lana?
00:41:39I love pickles
00:41:40Who doesn't?
00:41:45You're going to still yet have to push
00:41:47Yes
00:41:47Even more with some of the singers we have
00:41:50For this performance, they're gonna see me bring like a little more of whatever they were looking for
00:41:55Especially with the band like once that band started. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm ready. I got this
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts no one's admitting that they're nervous and it's pissing me off you are nervous
00:42:07and I'm nervous
00:42:08I'm admitting that just admit that you're nervous
00:42:13All of these
00:42:20Stories
00:42:21Who I am
00:42:22So many stories
00:42:25Of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got you
00:42:30Where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:37When you've got no one to tell them till it's true
00:42:45I was made for you
00:42:51I've come to cross the mountain tops
00:42:56Swim all across the ocean
00:43:00Cross on the lines and I'm your father
00:43:05Maybe I've broken them all for you
00:43:10Oh, because even when I went flat for
00:43:15It made me feel like a man from you too
00:43:22I was made for you
00:43:27Oh, yes and it's true
00:43:30Oh, yes and it's true
00:43:32That I was made for you
00:43:37Oh, yes and it's true
00:43:45That I was made for you
00:43:53Wow, you had this energy around you that you just feel like you want to be on stage, like owning
00:43:59the moment, and you should be very, very happy. Good job.
00:44:09Oh, my God, that was so cool.
00:44:11They stood up. Let's go.
00:44:13Her voice is like on.
00:44:15Oh, it's got that rock kind of thing at the top.
00:44:18She was clear.
00:44:19She was good.
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit.
00:44:21I feel really good about that.
00:44:23And my nail just popped off.
00:44:25Perfect timing.
00:44:26Okay.
00:44:29Next, and hoping her dreams will take flight, is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird.
00:44:34From the quad to Hollywood week.
00:44:36Just like that.
00:44:37It's gone so fast.
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:41Yes, yes, I would love to.
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do, but, like, this is more important than me.
00:44:46A week ago, if you told me I was doing American Idol, I wouldn't have believed you because I didn't
00:44:50even know I was auditioning.
00:44:51But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place.
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison.
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist and a performer.
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them where I have some more preparation than my audition with them initially.
00:45:08Now I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away.
00:45:17It's not fair to deny me.
00:45:22It's not fair that you gave to me.
00:45:26Girl, girl, girl, I don't know of the mess that you left when you went away.
00:45:37It's not fair to deny me.
00:45:43Of the cross I bet that you gave to me.
00:45:46Girl, girl, girl, girl, I don't know.
00:45:50Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl,
00:45:54girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl.
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers.
00:45:58So I'm just glad that I went out there and did my best.
00:46:01Way to own your moment.
00:46:02Just remember, make sure you land the vocals all the way.
00:46:06But you should be very, very proud.
00:46:07Good job.
00:46:15As the night goes on the judges are feeling the weight of some tough decisions
00:46:23I stripped the band-aid off
00:46:31Genevieve and Jason
00:46:37You're still in the mix Jackie you're not going through
00:46:45The fact that I made it this far I'm really grateful and yeah I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me into the top 30 because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned as more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:14Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard there are people that are really good that we are having to send home
00:47:21We got more bloodshed coming
00:47:23We have some singles
00:47:28Welcome back to Idol
00:47:29Where the night's final group of hopefuls are taking the stage
00:47:35Feeling nervous, aren't you bored
00:47:39With your quiet voice
00:47:41Wow
00:47:42An impeccable style
00:47:46You let them look while they can
00:47:53You let them spin
00:47:57You let them scatter
00:47:59The wind
00:48:04And into the forest
00:48:26I'm seeing authenticity, I'm seeing style, I'm seeing uniqueness and that's what it takes to do well in this competition
00:48:38Up next and here to inspire others is Mississippi voice teacher, Daniel Stallworth
00:48:45Music City, what's up Nashville
00:48:48To make the top 30 will mean a lot to me
00:48:50It will help me keep pushing the narrative to never stop believing
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students to let them know that you can reach your goals, never give up
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you
00:49:00All right, exactly
00:49:01All right
00:49:01I didn't really expect them to react the way that they did
00:49:04It made me feel like, yes, I can believe that I'm a star
00:49:07All right, make sure you can hear yourself down there
00:49:09Check those wages out and then we'll go
00:49:11On Hollywood week, I'm going to perform Stand By Me
00:49:13No, I won't be afraid
00:49:17No, I won't be afraid
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage this big
00:49:21Going straight in, diving in head first
00:49:24I'm going to definitely keep the energy and sing like I'll never sing again
00:49:28Y'all clap your hands, come on
00:49:32When the night has come
00:49:38And the land is dark
00:49:41And the moon is the only light we'll see
00:49:48No, I won't be afraid
00:49:52No, I won't be afraid
00:49:56No, I won't be afraid
00:49:58Just as long as you stand, stand by me
00:50:04If the skies that we look upon
00:50:10Should tumble and fall
00:50:14For the mountains should crumble in the sea
00:50:20Darling, darling, stand by me
00:50:26Oh, stand by me
00:50:31Stand, stand by me
00:50:37Whenever you're in trouble
00:50:40Stand, stand by me
00:51:07To take a song that we've heard so many times
00:51:10And to just take it to the raptors of this place
00:51:14You're a truly special person
00:51:16Way to go, man
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by for results, Brooks hopes he could do enough to stand out.
00:51:28I've never performed on a stage.
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family.
00:51:34So I'm very excited, but I'm also still very nervous.
00:51:38I come from a musical family.
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicus.
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life, but I just never took it seriously.
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me.
00:51:51I had trouble making friends.
00:51:53I was very shy, awkward.
00:51:58I started playing soccer around age six.
00:52:01That kind of led to making friends, and from that point on, soccer was my life.
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro, to see my last name on my back with a number
00:52:12that I liked.
00:52:14My freshman year of high school, halfway through the soccer season, I went for a free kick, and I planted
00:52:24my left foot to kick it, and I felt like a gear switch in my lower left back, and I
00:52:30couldn't feel my legs.
00:52:31I snapped my back in half, and that changed everything.
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved and be around the other
00:52:43boys and be a part of things.
00:52:45I was lost for a long time, and then I picked up a guitar, and I didn't want to put
00:52:50it down.
00:52:52You haven't played out much.
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much.
00:52:57Well, stop doing that.
00:53:00I just want to hear more.
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities, but this holds the future that I want.
00:53:09All right, let's see what they think about him.
00:53:11All right, here we go.
00:53:31I will find myself walking down the road all alone.
00:53:40Just like a rolling stone
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul
00:53:53And it grows just like an ocean wave
00:53:58There's this storm cloud heading my way
00:54:06And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:54:13Well, this wind stirs up the hurricane
00:54:20And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:54:28So I am locked amongst these north country stars
00:54:34Where you find me
00:54:36And lead me on home
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins
00:54:53There's this pain that is coursing through my veins
00:55:01And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:55:08And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:55:09Well, this wind stirs up a hurricane
00:55:15And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away
00:55:39A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:55:49And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it
00:55:53Is pretty special
00:55:55When you have this unique voice paired with these songs
00:56:00That are going to happen in your life
00:56:01It's going to be really, really special
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?
00:56:11It was great
00:56:12Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah
00:56:14Wow
00:56:14It felt good
00:56:17Our judges now have to decide
00:56:20Who in this final group of the original
00:56:22127 Singers in Hollywood Week
00:56:25Will make it to the Golden Room
00:56:26And the chance to move on to the top 30
00:56:31Bricks
00:56:39You're going through to the next round
00:56:41And I know for us to go
00:56:46We gotta live
00:56:48Bella

00:57:19I'm overjoyed
00:57:19I'm overjoyed
00:57:20I mean I had my doubts
00:57:21But I guess they liked me enough
00:57:24So
00:57:25Woo
00:57:26You're so good
00:57:28Thank you
00:57:28Thank you

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

01:02:23But it's gonna be the end of the line
01:02:27With this moment
01:02:28Do you think about me when you look at the moon
01:02:33To know that I made it this far
01:02:35I did everything I could
01:02:36I hate to admit I still care about you
01:02:40A little disappointed, but
01:02:42I'll be back
01:02:43Love you Gary
01:02:44It's been a long time since I've heard you speak

01:06:12Girls
01:06:13I feel all of the feelings
01:06:15I'm so excited
01:06:16I'm so ready for this journey
01:06:18Wow
01:06:20Speechless
01:06:21I'm moving on
01:06:23I'm so excited
01:06:24Top 30
01:06:27It's great news for the 28 who have survived Hollywood week
01:06:32But four hopefuls remain to fight for the last two spots of our top 30
01:06:36Well you know you always told me you do well under pressure
01:06:39Remember you told me that
01:06:41Well guess what your dream has come true
01:06:44When I heard that I was going to be in a single off my journal and it automatically shot up
01:06:48and I was like I got this
01:06:49You feel good?
01:06:51Yeah
01:06:51Feel confident?
01:06:52No, no
01:06:58Welcome back to Hollywood week
01:07:00Got two slots left in the top 30
01:07:04And fighting for one of those slots are Chloe and Mary Jo
01:07:08Chloe and I became really good friends the last two days which makes me really sad
01:07:12We're very similar
01:07:14Not only with our tones but also
01:07:18So I'm kind of just like
01:07:20Dang
01:07:21Less familiar with each other are the two Garners
01:07:25Also vying for a spot in the top 30
01:07:27I'm singing off against Michael Garner
01:07:29I'm Jason Garner
01:07:30Do you know him?
01:07:32I do not know him, huh?
01:07:34Ironically they also both sang songs by the Red Clay Strays in their auditions
01:07:39Did not expect my night to end like this
01:07:42But Michael's idol journey has been unexpected from the start
01:07:45We're gonna give you a shot
01:07:48What you do with your voice is definitely beyond 16
01:07:52Like I look at you and I see my son
01:07:57And I would not throw him in the middle of it
01:08:01It's a yes for me
01:08:03Ticket!
01:08:04Miss Carrie, I just wanna say
01:08:06I'm gonna prove to you that I have what it takes
01:08:09And Michael's continued to grow during Hollywood week
01:08:12You are a 16 year old kid doing impressive stuff
01:08:15You should be very very proud
01:08:17It's not just about the age, it's about what you got inside
01:08:20For fellow high schooler Jason
01:08:22The mission has been authenticity
01:08:25Your stage presence is electrified
01:08:28But I don't want you to be a gimmick
01:08:30Take your vocals and your performances really serious at this point
01:08:34Yes sir
01:08:34And in Hollywood week, he made a believer out of Carrie
01:08:38Jason, you are genuine and you're believable
01:08:43That's great, thank you
01:08:45The boys have been rehearsing
01:08:47Yeah, it's stressful for them boys
01:08:50Let's dig right in
01:08:51I have not heard him sing
01:08:53I'm pretty much just going in blind, yeah
01:08:54I don't want you to compare yourself to him
01:08:56Just lean in and go for it
01:08:58This is your moment
01:08:59Second chance is always, you know, your time to shine, you know
01:09:02You feel good? You feel confident?
01:09:05I don't know
01:09:06They gotta sing for their life
01:09:08Let's bring them out
01:09:09Yeah, let's get them in here

01:12:47And you boys have us making decisions late into the night
01:12:53Tough decisions
01:12:54Very tough, guys
01:13:00The next to go in the top 30
01:13:04Is going to be
01:13:13Welcome back to Hollywood
01:13:15Welcome back to Hollywood Week
01:13:15I want to get lost in your rock and roll
01:13:19I want to stress to you guys
01:13:22You are both very talented young men
01:13:26Tough decisions
01:13:28Very tough, guys
01:13:34Michael, you're in our top 30
01:13:39Jason, it's the end of the road for you, buddy
01:13:41Thank you so much
01:14:08I'm pissed
01:14:11But, man, I'm just so thankful for how far I got
01:14:15God is so good
01:14:16It's just so amazing
01:14:24You know, I just went out there
01:14:26I did my best and everything
01:14:27You know, I prayed about everything
01:14:29And God showed me the light
01:14:31And I made them the top 30
01:14:32All right
01:14:34We just took care of one
01:14:35We have 29
01:14:36That's right
01:14:37One final spot remains
01:14:41Mary Jo or Chloe?
01:14:44I'm, ooh, that's how I feel
01:14:46Chloe has a great freaking voice
01:14:49She's incredible
01:14:50And I'm, like, sad
01:14:51Because I love Chloe
01:14:52Bring all the water works
01:14:55I do know Mary Jo
01:14:56We became close
01:14:58Throughout Hollywood Week
01:14:59She's performed
01:15:00Many times
01:15:02And I have not
01:15:03I didn't know we were going to
01:15:05That's all right
01:15:05So this is
01:15:08Once in a lifetime for me
01:15:09When we give you confidence
01:15:11Because we can sense
01:15:14That it's not all there
01:15:15Go for it all
01:15:17But since arriving at Hollywood Week
01:15:19The self-doubt has not left Chloe's side
01:15:22I feel like I let myself down
01:15:24I didn't self-sabotage really badly
01:15:27I tried to do the best
01:15:29That I could
01:15:31It's almost like she's given up on herself
01:15:34Mary Jo's Hollywood experience
01:15:36Goes back five seasons
01:15:41Where her nerves led to forgetting the lyrics
01:15:43In her duet with Benson Boone
01:15:50You just lived your worst nightmare
01:15:53Now that you've experienced it
01:15:54You have to understand
01:15:55We all mess up
01:15:57That's right
01:15:57But what you have
01:15:58Is a great gift
01:16:00But there was no holding back for her this season
01:16:02We're so glad to have you back in our presence
01:16:06And you are singing your butt off
01:16:08Congratulations
01:16:11Are they ready?
01:16:16When you're out there
01:16:17I want you to say one thing to yourself in your head
