00:04:40Fabulous.
00:04:40I remember growing up,
00:04:42we were struggling at a point in time,
00:04:43and I never thought that I would be on this journey
00:04:46and to be where I am today.
00:04:48Man, it feels so good being out here,
00:04:51the sun, the beach.
00:04:53I feel like I'm living a life.
00:04:54The experience, I'm grateful for it all.

00:04:59Today, I'm going to be singing Bang Bang

00:05:04Yeah, do your thing.
00:05:04Let's do it.
00:05:05Let's do it.
00:05:05She got her body like an hourglass,
00:05:08but I can give it to you
00:05:09all 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.
00:05:13That was incredible.
00:05:15I'm for it.
00:05:16If I were to say anything,
00:05:17it's just another little element
00:05:18you could sprinkle on,
00:05:19it's talking to the audience.
00:05:20As that in, vamp out comes in,
00:05:22just being like, sing it with me,
00:05:23or whatever, you know,
00:05:24give you a little moment.

00:05:32and this innate star quality.
00:05:34Charisma.
00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:36If she tries that,
00:05:37it'll work.
00:05:40Don't change a thing, I think.
00:05:41I'm not.
00:05:41She's got her body like an hourglass,
00:05:49but I can give it to you all the time.
00:05:53She's got her body like a Cadillac,
00:05:56but I can see you into overdrive.
00:06:00You've been waiting for that.
00:06:02Come on.
00:06:03Come on.
00:06:04Split your back.

00:06:43Come on.
00:06:44No, I don't need to hear you talk to talk.
00:06:47Just come and tell me what your mama gave.
00:06:51You got up that dreamy.
00:06:53Hold on.
00:06:54But don't say a thing.
00:06:57See, anybody could be bad to you.

00:07:56It's a big finish.
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.
00:08:05The members wanted back.
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?
00:08:14Thank you, thank you.
00:08:16That's how you start a show off.
00:08:17Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:08:21Talk about a crowd pleaser.
00:08:24Who?
00:08:24From the moment that you stepped out,
00:08:27you had the audience engaged.
00:08:29Now, in the first verse, did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34Your recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39It felt like a quick moment, but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, great.
00:08:44Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:08:45Thank you, thank you.
00:08:46Insane.
00:08:48I mean, you understood the assignment.
00:08:50That's right.
00:08:51You're the first one up, and I mean,
00:08:53you came out and you delivered.
00:08:54I went back and I re-watched your audition,
00:08:57and, 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.
00:09:11Oh, come 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.
00:09:20Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:24Starting us off up-tempo.

00:09:40Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:45All right, lots to do coming up.
00:09:46Jake Vista delivers some Huey Lewis and the news
00:09:49right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More idols right now.
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 wanted to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here,
00:10:11our superstar,
00:10:13who is bravely facing ongoing treatment
00:10:15for a brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol
00:10:20with her family here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:10:23You're a star.
00:10:24Are you having a good time?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah, all right.
00:10:27Well, we love your energy.
00:10:28We love your spirit.
00:10:30Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:32Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:35Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends
00:10:39at Make-A-Wish for nearly 45 years
00:10:41and is proud to grant a Disney wish
00:10:43every 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
00:10:50took the reins with singer-songwriter Jake Thistle.
00:10:53You ready?
00:10:54Come on.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:57You've been performing since you were nine.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00From nine to 15, I could play bars
00:11:02because I was young enough
00:11:03where 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
00:11:08until I left,
00:11:09and it actually scared me off alcohol
00:11:11for 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.
00:11:34That's so kind of you.
00:11:36That is so perfectly done.
00:11:39That's a power of love.
00:11:42Yes!
00:11:43That's a high song.
00:11:44I mean, Huey always sang higher than you think.
00:11:48There's something about that voice of his.
00:11:49But in your case, too, go for those high ones.
00:11:52Power, you feel the power.
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless,
00:11:55and sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:58I had a record exec once tell me,
00:12:01make it look hard tonight,
00:12:02and so I play a solo that's not that hard,
00:12:05and I was just like,
00:12:06and 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,
00:12:16and 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.
00:12:27It really means the world.
00:12:40Power of love is a curious thing
00:12:43Make one man weep, make another man sing
00:12:48Change your heart to a little wider
00:12:51More than a feeling, that's a power of love
00:12:59Don't need money, don't take a plan
00:13:03Don't need no credit card or ride this train
00:13:06It's strong and it's sudden
00:13:08But it's cruel sometimes
00:13:10I ain't just saved your life
00:13:15You say that all that ain't love is saved
00:13:20Yeah, but you don't care
00:13:23With a little help from above
00:13:26You feel the power of love
00:13:30You feel the power of love
00:13:36First time you feel it, it might make you mad
00:13:39Next time you feel it, it might make you sad
00:13:43But you'll be glad, baby, when you find
00:13:48That's the power that makes the world go round
00:13:52Don't need money, don't take faith
00:13:55You don't need no credit card or ride this train
00:13:59Tough with a diamond, stronger than steel
00:14:03You won't feel it up until you see it
00:14:07You want the power, oh, you feel the power of love
00:14:11You feel the power, feel the power of love
00:14:17Ooh, you feel the power of love
00:14:21Yeah, you feel the power of love
00:14:25You feel the power of love
00:14:34Yes!
00:14:37The power of love, the Back to the Future soundtrack
00:14:40You were Lewis and the News
00:14:41You wanted to bring the energy
00:14:43I think it was mission accomplished
00:14:44Thank you so much
00:14:45Let's get to the judges on this one
00:14:47Lionel?
00:14:47Did I detect this sexy...
00:14:52Sexy Jake
00:14:52And then, did you notice, judges
00:14:55I've never seen you when you get the ugly face
00:14:58That means you're singing your heart out, man
00:15:01I mean, honestly, that's what we're looking for
00:15:04Bring it!
00:15:05Bring it!
00:15:05Come on!
00:15:06Thank you
00:15:07Brad told me to make it look hard
00:15:11Bring it!
00:15:12Every time we see you perform
00:15:14Your number one thing is you always look like you're in control of the moment
00:15:17And you're comfortable and it looks professional
00:15:20We've seen you do more laid-back stuff
00:15:23So it was really fun to see you branch out
00:15:25Do kind of some rock and roll
00:15:27And that was the best example that I've seen you do that thus far
00:15:31Great job
00:15:31Thank you so much
00:15:32I love how, just even at the beginning, like, everybody is kind of bringing different sides of themselves
00:15:38Yeah
00:15:39Like, we know you have a great voice
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that
00:15:42But 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, thank you so much
00:15:51It means a lot
00:15:54I mean, it was fabulous
00:15:55You could tell that you were so at home on stage
00:15:58And that moment where you stopped playing and you really leaned in
00:16:00It was great to see how you were connecting to the crowd
00:16:03I mean, it felt like a party out here
00:16:04You saw how all the girls were screaming
00:16:07Thank you guys so much

00:41:08I myself have
00:41:10struggled with

00:47:53I'll remember this for the rest of my life
00:47:56I was blown away
00:47:57what could I say
00:47:59I'm singing
00:48:00It's Not Over by Daughtry
00:48:02when I was real little
00:48:03my dad got me a mp3 player
00:48:05and he loaded that thing on
00:48:07with the music he listened to
00:48:08you know everything from Daughtry
00:48:10to old 70s rock and stuff
00:48:12I really fell in love with Chris Daughtry
00:48:14and just how he performs
00:48:15and carries himself
00:48:16wow
00:48:17cause yeah I guess when Daughtry was on
00:48:19American Idol
00:48:19which was like two years old
00:48:21yeah I was three actually
00:48:22definitely one of my biggest inspirations
00:48:25and I would love to take the path he took
00:48:27it's not over
00:48:30so I'll be performing without a guitar
00:48:32so I'm going to try to
00:48:33to 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're going to hold it?
00:48:40yeah
00:48:40maybe you were just in it
00:48:42so you're not thinking
00:48:42your hand was kind of here
00:48:44and you were doing this
00:48:45oh interesting
00:48:45and it was just this
00:48:47you know
00:48:47so now you got a mic
00:48:49yeah
00:48:49and this hand is free to
00:48:50do whatever
00:48:52enunciate
00:48:52that's right
00:48:52whatever it is
00:48:53yeah
00:48:54start over
00:48:57and try to do it right this time around
00:48:59I just kept looking at that hand thinking
00:49:01this is a guy who's not used to not
00:49:02to doing this
00:49:03and sure enough that was true
00:49:04guys like me that play the guitar
00:49:06when first time that you're like
00:49:07you're going to just sing this this evening
00:49:09with a microphone
00:49:09it's like
00:49:10what do I do with my hands?
00:49:12I look ridiculous
00:49:13if I don't really figure out
00:49:15what I'm going to do
00:49:16as long as he can do that
00:49:17I think he's going to be fine
00:49:18because the voice is there

00:54:58de como mai
00:55:00di aulani ku'u home
00:55:04welcome to aulani everybody
00:55:05right this way
00:55:08my family is my biggest support system
00:55:10being able to like have that moment to be with them
00:55:12and do something fun like the treasure hunt experience
00:55:15was really special me
00:55:16looks like me in the morning
00:55:17my mom and dad went on their honeymoon here
00:55:20they've always said that they were gonna come back someday
00:55:22and for me to be the reason why they are
00:55:24you know it makes my heart happy
00:55:27nice to meet you
00:55:29being in the top 20 is surreal
00:55:32I've never really stood in front of a mic
00:55:35and performed in front of like a whole crowd
00:55:36but I'm really pushing myself this time to come out of my comfort zone
00:55:39just knowing that America is gonna be voting
00:55:42that's another thing that I have to think about
00:55:45which is why I chose this round to not just be by the mic stand
00:55:48and move around
00:55:49lost and insecure
00:55:52I'm singing you found me by the fray
00:55:54it's about being lost and insecure
00:55:56a song that I connect to
00:55:58you 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 says 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 by 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
00:56:34come on Liv
00:56:36yes
00:56:38I think have fun out there and you're gonna nail this
00:56:40I think it's ironic that I'm singing a song
00:56:42about being lost and insecure in a moment
00:56:44where I feel like found
00:56:46and like the best I ever have
00:56:48yeah I'm proud of myself
00:56:49I found God on the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:04where the west was all but one
00:57:11where were you when everything was falling apart
00:57:18all my days were spent by a telephone that never rang
00:57:26and all I needed was a home that never came
00:57:33to the corner of Thirst and Amistad
00:57:39lost and insecure
00:57:42you found me, you found me lying on the floor
00:57:48surrounded, surrounded why you have to wait
00:57:55you found me, you found me
00:58:03early morning the city breaks
00:58:09I've been calling for years and years and years and years
00:58:16you never left me no messages
00:58:18you never sent me no letters
00:58:21you got some kind of nerve
00:58:26taking all I'm for
00:58:34lost and insecure
00:58:36you found me
00:58:39you found me, you found me lying on the floor
00:58:43where were you
00:58:47you found me
00:58:55why'd you have to wait
00:59:01you found me
00:59:04you found me
00:59:07you found me
00:59:29the蛋 is on their feet
00:59:30wow
00:59:31in the beginning those first couple of notes
00:59:33I said now what's going on
00:59:34you know I wasn't sure where we were headed
00:59:35but obviously we all feel a little nerves
00:59:38you've been singing
00:59:39you've been rehearsing
00:59:40but I saw you finding
00:59:41as soon as you grabbed that mic
00:59:43and you came forward
00:59:44and you lost yourself in the song
00:59:46everything after that was perfection
00:59:48and you closing in very strong
00:59:50and that long note
00:59:53I'm just saying
00:59:54why I got the mic in my hand
00:59:55why 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
01:00:02because you have been so polished and 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.
01:00:18And 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.
01:00:30I was like, all right, Jesse, 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,
01:00:39and I look around, and I'd be like, oh, my God, how did I get here?
01:00:43Those emotions are fun to have to battle and battle back,
01:00:47and that's what you did.
01:00:48As the song kept building and the band,
01:00:51you showed us stuff you haven't showed us with your voice thus far.
01:00:55Thank you, Luke.
01:00:55I was praying the whole time, grab the mic,
01:00:59take it out of the stand, command the stage,
01:01:03take charge, and you did it.
01:01:06Thanks, Lana.
01:01:07I mean, that's how you get the crowd to go right to you.
01:01:13That was fantastic.
01:01:14Thanks, Lana.
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 item stage next here at Disney's Aulani 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, like, getting out of my body.
01:03:03And especially Bluegrass, you stand in one spot, you do your thing, and then you walk off stage.
01:03:06Yeah, of course.
01:03:07So you're kind of challenging yourself.
01:03:08I love to hear that.
01:03:09I'm scared, y'all.
01:03:10Don't be.
01:03:11Don't be scared.
01:03:12To be more comfortable in my body.
01:03:13That's my goal for the next round.
01:03:15Oh, fear is a tyrant with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:03:20Your voice is everything I love about this style of music.
01:03:25Instead of maybe thinking to yourself about, I got to move around the stage, more so think about, I got
01:03:29to 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 anxiety, 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 like
01:03:57this?
01:03:58Look for your family in the audience.
01:03:59Capture 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 to
01:04:15just 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.
01:04:38Oh, love is a resurrection, love is a trumpet sound.
01:04:43Love is my weapon, I'm going to take that giant down.
01:04:54Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life.
01:05:00And there on the tree, the Lamb of God was crucified.
01:05:05Then he went on down to hell, took back every key.
01:05:12He rose up as a lion, and he said, oh, captives free.
01:05:17There ain't no pain.
01:05:22Hold his body down.
01:05:26Oh, no, there ain't no pain could hold his body down.
01:05:38Oh, when he heard that trumpet sound, he rose up out of the ground.
01:05:48There ain't no pain could hold his body down.
01:05:56Yeah, hold him down.
01:05:58Oh, no, there ain't no pain could hold his body down.
01:06:07Oh, no, there ain't no pain could hold his body down.
01:06:11Oh, no, there ain't no pain could hold his body down.
01:06:15Yeah!
01:06:22It's over.
01:06:23You did it.
01:06:24Felt good?
01:06:25Felt 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.
01:06:48I appreciate it.
01:06:49First of all, everybody performs different.
01:06:51I think that's the big part of this competition, right,
01:06:53is, like, not doing what you think you should do,
01:06:56really 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, because when you start singing, girl,
01:07:02and you was pointing, you was commanding to us, we were locked in.
01:07:06It was excellent.
01:07:07Thank 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.
01:07:27So you're showing me you're ready to branch out and grow.
01:07:31Definitely my favorite performance I've seen you do.
01:07:33Wow.
01:07:34I appreciate it.
01:07:36Great 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.
01:07:45That I feel like the more you go through this whole process,
01:07:50I hope to see more of.
01:07:52You remind me a lot of myself when I was on the show.
01:07:57Wow.
01:07:57When I would be on stage, I'd be like, I'd look out,
01:08:00I'd be like, what are you doing out there, hand?
01:08:02Like, what's going on?
01:08:04Why are you pointing?
01:08:05And all of a sudden, it's like things would kind of start falling apart
01:08:08because I would start thinking about what I was doing.
01:08:10Try not to.
01:08:12Just tell the story and don't worry about what any of this is doing
01:08:15because I feel like we got some 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.
01:08:21Very good.

01:09:28My girlfriend suggested that I do this song.
01:09:31And you got me like, oh, what you want from me?
01:09:41Braden, Braden, Braden.
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 play 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.
01:10:33Now I think it's time for me to push myself and chase this dream on my own.
01:10:39That smooth.
01:10:39Fire.
01:10:40I want to make it as far in this competition as I can.
01:10:44I'm going to try and win it.
01:10:51And you got me like, oh, what you want from me.
01:10:59What you want from me.
01:11:00And I tried to buy your pretty heart but the price was too high.
01:11:06Baby, you got me like, oh, you love when I fall apart.
01:11:15Fall apart.
01:11:16So you can put me together and throw me against the wall.
01:11:24And baby, I fish fire 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.
01:11:43I mean.
01:11:50But I don't know.
01:11:56Because I'm not going to be.
01:12:08I just threw out.
01:12:08And I can't get enough
01:12:11You got me like I
01:12:16I
01:12:20Don't you stop loving me
01:12:22Don't quit loving me
01:12:24Don't you start loving me
01:12:26Must be love
01:12:32Must be love
01:12:36Don't stop loving me
01:12:38Don't quit loving me
01:12:40Oh, I can't get enough
01:12:44Must be love
01:12:48Hold on
01:12:50Lady
01:13:03Well done, well done
01:13:08From the first notes
01:13:10It was like
01:13:11Just
01:13:13Immediately
01:13:13What's that word again?
01:13:15Just
01:13:15You just have an incredible voice
01:13:20And you have like this aw shucks thing about you
01:13:22That just makes people just like you
01:13:25And you're so stinking good
01:13:27You guys
01:13:29We did a really good job
01:13:30Picking the top 20
01:13:32Right?
01:13:32Steve, come on
01:13:33That's right
01:13:34Right?
01:13:34Come on
01:13:37Yeah, that was the thing
01:13:38I mean, when you start singing
01:13:39You're like, whoa
01:13:40What is that?
01:13:41And now I think we just got to get you to build on it
01:13:44And build on it
01:13:45And get some swagger
01:13:46And even more and more confidence
01:13:48The best way to know what you're doing
01:13:50Is look at the girls
01:13:51And Kiki was about to fall out of her chair
01:13:54She had ants in her pants
01:13:56Come on
01:13:56That's kind of important in the music business
01:13:59Right, Lionel?
01:14:00That's absolutely
01:14:02Understand, man
01:14:04You've got this instrument
01:14:05And use it to your advantage
01:14:07And work the room
01:14:08And just keep delivering
01:14:10From the time the song starts
01:14:11Till it ends
01:14:12Just slay, slay, slay
01:14:14Slay
01:14:15I have never
01:14:17In my eight and a half years
01:14:21Of this show
01:14:22Called for

01:15:34Brooks
01:15:35See what he's chosen
01:15:36From the big moment
01:15:37On American Idol
01:15:39Right after this
01:15:53All right
01:15:54Thanks for spending
01:15:55Your Monday evening with us
01:15:57We hope you've been
01:15:57Enjoying the show
01:15:58As much as we've been
01:15:59Enjoying our time
01:16:00Here at Aulani
01:16:01We've got one more
01:16:02For you tonight
01:16:03A few weeks ago
01:16:04He was working
01:16:05As a dementia care technician
01:16:07Back in Maryland
01:16:07And now
01:16:08He's in your top 20
01:16:10Getting expert advice
01:16:11From Brad Paisley
01:16:12And Kiki Palmer
01:16:13Here is Brooks
01:16:16Somebody said
01:16:17Got a new friend
01:16:20I'm doing dancing
01:16:22On my own
01:16:23Does she love you
01:16:25Better than I can
01:16:29You are really
01:16:31Angelic, right?
01:16:33Thank you
01:16:33Unbelievable tone
01:16:35Thank you
01:16:36So unique
01:16:37Oh my gosh
01:16:38That voice
01:16:40I've always had trouble
01:16:41Fitting in
01:16:42I grew up
01:16:42Keeping everything in
01:16:43And I never told anyone
01:16:45Anything
01:16:46I was never vulnerable
01:16:47So this whole song
01:16:49Is just going to be me
01:16:49Looking back at
01:16:50My younger self
01:16:51And growing into
01:16:52The man I am now
01:16:53Your favorite experience
01:16:54On American Idol
01:16:55So far
01:16:56Waterside
01:16:59Being here
01:16:59I feel like I was
01:17:00Invited into something
01:17:02I'm not alone anymore
01:17:03I've made so many
01:17:04Good friends here
01:17:05It's really just beautiful
01:17:09Brooke's song choice
01:17:10Was difficult
01:17:13I do want to look
01:17:14At the first line
01:17:15Of each chorus
01:17:16There was a really
01:17:16High note in there
01:17:17Yeah, it's imperative
01:17:18That he doesn't
01:17:19Miss that tonight
01:17:21I do think
01:17:22That could derail him
01:17:23When you're doing it
01:17:24What do you think
01:17:25It's missing?
01:17:26Are you missing air?
01:17:27I think confidence
01:17:28I think it's just confidence
01:17:29Yeah
01:17:30Confidence
01:17:31Is about doing
01:17:32What's true to us
01:17:33If you need to adjust
01:17:35Adjust
01:17:35It's your range
01:17:36I think we're seeing
01:17:38A lot of times
01:17:38Especially in the competition
01:17:39We get caught up in
01:17:40Oh, I gotta hit the big note
01:17:42I gotta do the thing
01:17:43You just gotta do
01:17:43What you do well
01:17:44And what you have
01:17:45Is a winning voice
01:17:47Your character
01:17:48Your tone
01:17:49You know what I mean
01:17:50And as long as you're hitting
01:17:51Each thing with confidence
01:17:52For you
01:17:53Man, you got it in a bag
01:18:00Somebody said
01:18:02I've got a new friend
01:18:08Does she love you
01:18:10Better than I can
01:18:16It's a big black sky
01:18:18Over my town
01:18:24I know you're right
01:18:26I bet she's around
01:18:33Yeah, I know
01:18:35It's stupid
01:18:36But I just gotta see it
01:18:39For myself
01:18:41I'm in the corner
01:18:43Watching you kiss her
01:18:45Oh
01:18:49And I'm right over here
01:18:51Why can't you see me
01:18:54Oh
01:18:57I'm giving it miles
01:19:00I'm not the guy you're taking home
01:19:04Ooh
01:19:05I keep dancing on my own
01:19:10And oh, now
01:19:14So far away
01:19:16Still so near
01:19:18The lights come on
01:19:20The music dies
01:19:22But you don't see me
01:19:25Standing here
01:19:26I just came
01:19:28To say goodbye
01:19:30I'm in the corner
01:19:33Watching you kiss her
01:19:35Oh
01:19:36Oh
01:19:38I'm giving it miles
01:19:41I'm not the guy you're taking home
01:19:45Ooh
01:19:46I keep dancing on my own
01:19:52And oh, now
01:19:55So far away
01:19:57Still so near
01:20:00The lights come on
01:20:02The music dies
01:20:03You don't see me
01:20:06Standing here
01:20:25Wow
01:20:32Brooks
01:20:33You really do
01:20:34Have one of the most
01:20:35Magical voices
01:20:36I've ever heard
01:20:37I mean
01:20:38It's cinematic
01:20:38It's soundtrack
01:20:39I'm in the movie
01:20:40Everything ended
01:20:41I'm at the lake
01:20:42And I don't know
01:20:43What happened to my life
01:20:44Type voice
01:20:45It's really insane
01:20:46And I know
01:20:47This is probably
01:20:47All so much for you
01:20:49You know
01:20:49I know when we were
01:20:49Doing the mentoring
01:20:50And everything
01:20:51And you were like
01:20:51You know
01:20:52When I do the big notes
01:20:52I get nervous
01:20:53And everything like that
01:20:54But you must stay in this competition
01:20:56This is my call out to America
01:20:59Thank you
01:20:59You must
01:21:00Because I've got to see you grow
01:21:02And I've got to be a part of watching you
01:21:04Become the kind of artist
01:21:05That I know you will be
01:21:07That's exactly
01:21:07Incredible
01:21:11I am so glad we know you
01:21:15Thank you
01:21:15Now if I could just get you
01:21:19To scare us all to death
01:21:21The next time you perform
01:21:24If you took it out of the mic stand
01:21:27And just did that
01:21:29We'd all faint
01:21:32Because all the confidence
01:21:33Is right here
01:21:35So if you just
01:21:36Give us this one time
01:21:37Give it a little of that
01:21:38Give it a little of that
01:21:39Yeah I mean

01:21:40Just

01:21:53Before
01:21:54He's played guitar
01:21:56In front of people
01:21:57But he is not
01:21:58Saying in front of people

01:22:23I'm just glad I'm here for it
01:22:25Yes
01:22:29Voices like yours
01:22:30Don't come along
01:22:31Much
01:22:32Because the uniqueness
01:22:34Of it
01:22:35Is so
01:22:36Instantaneous
01:22:37And
01:22:38As you get going
01:22:40With this thing
01:22:41Just
01:22:42Stay humble
01:22:43But have the confidence
01:22:45To really stand up there
01:22:46And trust
01:22:47That people are going to react
01:22:49To your voice
01:22:50In ways
01:22:52That you could have never imagined
01:22:54Because it is so
01:22:55Not what we're expecting
01:22:57When we see you
01:22:58Every time you start singing
01:23:00I see like the movie
01:23:02Of your life playing
