00:03:48Now, Kiki has a not-to-miss performance later in the show.
00:03:52Very exciting.
00:03:53But first, thank you very much.
00:03:56You got a ways to go, so stay in time.
00:03:59Let's talk voting.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:00So many easy ways to do it.
00:04:02Say goodbye to the American Idol app.
00:04:04That is out.
00:04:05The social vote is in.
00:04:06All you have to do is head to at American Idol on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok,
00:04:11and comment on the pinned official voting post with the first name of the Idol hopeful you're voting for.
00:04:17It's one name and one vote per comment.
00:04:19You can also vote online or via text.
00:04:22And you have 10 votes per hopeful, per social platform, and voting method.
00:04:26Got it?
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:28Here are the 10 amazing singers.
00:04:30Take a look.
00:04:32They're vying for your all-important votes tonight.
00:04:35They're hoping to continue on in the competition by making it into your top 14 to make sure you vote
00:04:41for all of your favorites.
00:04:43This week, they have the awesome experience of being mentored by country music legend Brad Paisley.
00:04:50And singer and award-winning actress Kiki Palmer.
00:04:53All right, girl.
00:04:54Here's how it went down with the Grange Georges.
00:04:58Filmingly.
00:05:01We're in Hawaii.
00:05:02It's like something out of a movie.
00:05:05Four.
00:05:05I love golfing.
00:05:06I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world, but I just love going out there and strifling down the
00:05:11middle.
00:05:12Back at home, we definitely got some golf courses, but this place is amazing.
00:05:17Let's go.
00:05:18So it's awesome to be here.
00:05:20Hey.
00:05:20How are you doing?
00:05:21Nice to meet you.
00:05:22It was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad.
00:05:24They were super cool.
00:05:25I'm excited to hear what you're going to be singing.
00:05:27I know you're very soulful.
00:05:28So what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
00:05:32Fabulous.
00:05:32That's cool.
00:05:33Just a small town, girl.
00:05:35My journey so far, each round, I've gotten more nervous than nervous because I'm chasing my dreams.
00:05:41My knees are shaking, dude.
00:05:42How you holding up?
00:05:43A little nervous.
00:05:44I'm not too confident.
00:05:45What would you say is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:47Just trying to be perfect.
00:05:48I'm a huge critic on myself, so.
00:05:50I can relate.
00:05:51Man, I'm in the top 20 of American Idol.
00:05:53From LaGrange, Georgia, a small town.
00:05:55It's just amazing.
00:05:56I think my family thinks the same way.
00:05:59Oh, damn.
00:06:03I think my family thinks the same way, so hopefully I get to go even further.
00:06:08I haven't been told no yet, but.
00:06:11I can't talk right.
00:06:12I can't even breathe.
00:06:13The nerve stuff, you take that energy and you let it be a part of the performance.
00:06:17It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind.
00:06:19The jitters when you're getting up on that stage.
00:06:21I think the hardest part of the song is the first part.
00:06:25Yes!
00:06:25Like the second part's give it all you got, you know, and you do that.
00:06:28Let me hear that first verse again.
00:06:30Living in a lonely world.
00:06:33That's the note, lonely.
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes are just the ones to not get tripped up on.
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:39Because then everybody breathes easy.
00:06:41I think if Philman hits those notes in the beginning, he's got a real chance of going on.
00:06:46It's just a big stage.
00:06:48I just want to make sure my family's proud.
00:06:51It would just mean the world to keep going.
00:06:53I want to keep singing for everybody.
00:07:08Come on, sing it now.
00:07:10She took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:18Just a city boy, born a race in such a child.
00:07:27He took the midnight train, going anywhere.
00:07:35A single in a smoky room.
00:07:39A smell of wild chiming fuel.
00:07:42Come on now.
00:07:43For a smile that can share the night.
00:07:46Goes on and on and on and on.
00:07:52Stranger waiting.
00:07:54Up and down the boulevard.
00:07:59Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:07Streetlights, people.
00:08:12Living just to find the emotion.
00:08:15Hiding somewhere in the night.
00:08:20All alone.
00:08:23Come on.
00:08:25Sure.
00:08:25Stop believing.
00:08:28Hold on to that feeling.
00:08:31Yeah.
00:08:32Streetlights, people.
00:08:36Oh.
00:08:39Oh.
00:08:40Come on.
00:08:41Look at that feeling.
00:08:47Oh.
00:08:48Oh.
00:08:48Oh.
00:08:50Oh.
00:08:56I
00:08:56Oh
00:08:57Oh
00:08:57Stop leaving
00:09:01Oh
00:09:02Don't you have to feel
00:09:04Yeah
00:09:10There you go
00:09:16How'd it feel to kick everything off tonight?
00:09:18I'm glad I got it out of the way
00:09:19Now I can enjoy the rest of the day.
00:09:22By the way, your hair does not move.
00:09:24It does not move, that entire performance.
00:09:26My mom have to give you the secret.
00:09:28Some type of hairspray, the thing just does not move, so.
00:09:32I'm available one minute after the show is over for that tip.
00:09:35Let's go to the judges.
00:09:37All right, so at the beginning, I said,
00:09:39please don't let this song intimidate you.
00:09:43You stepped up.
00:09:44The first time, I was a little scared for you.
00:09:46And then you leaned into it.
00:09:49You did a great job, man.
00:09:50Thank you so much, Treshelle.
00:09:54Filmin', I was very nervous for a second.
00:09:56But when I seen you take that mic off that stand,
00:09:59you started walking, getting a little swag to your step.
00:10:02The vocals were hitting every note they needed to hit.
00:10:06Excellent job. I'm so proud of you.
00:10:07Thank you, Treshelle.
00:10:08I'm so proud of you, Treshelle.
00:10:10I love that you made it your own.
00:10:13I mean, everybody knows this song.
00:10:15It's been done in, like, every karaoke setting.
00:10:18On planet Earth.
00:10:19So true.
00:10:20But you took it and you put your own spin on it.
00:10:22If there's one thing that I could tell you to do a little bit more,
00:10:26it's just relax.
00:10:27I kind of felt your brain working a little bit.
00:10:29And that's not a bad thing, because, you know, this is a big deal.
00:10:32But just get into it and try to shut your brain off.
00:10:35I know it's hard, but try.
00:10:36Thank you so much.
00:10:39Man, vocals, you don't need to worry about vocals.
00:10:43But now, channel that inner, like, tiger, that warrior, you know.
00:10:48If you could just amp your performance energy up a little bit, man,
00:10:51you're gonna surprise yourself.
00:10:53Thank you, Luke. Thank you.
00:10:57Relax a little bit.
00:10:59It is Aulani at Disney Resort and Spa,
00:11:01if you want to start relaxing right there.

00:11:26The party on the beach is just getting started.
00:11:28Much more music on the way.
00:11:30Ray wants to earn your respect when Ida returns.
00:11:34Do not move.
00:11:37You nailed it.
00:11:39That was so good, baby.
00:11:40The party started.
00:11:49Welcome back to the show.
00:11:51The journey for our finalists to this incredible stage
00:11:53has been an emotional one, especially for a Maryland native Ray.
00:11:57Here's your time with Brad Pacey and Kiki Palmer.
00:12:04Hi.
00:12:04Hi, Marie.
00:12:05Hi, Marie.
00:12:07Kiki is my girl.
00:12:09I love her.
00:12:10Nice to meet you.
00:12:11I love you so much.
00:12:12Kiki is just unapologetically herself.
00:12:15And I just want to be just like that.
00:12:17I'm singing Respect by Aretha Franklin.
00:12:19Respect, yeah.
00:12:19R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:20So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:23I grew up on Aretha.
00:12:25My mom just always played Aretha everywhere.
00:12:27And she just told me, like, you're going to command the stage
00:12:29like her.
00:12:30You're going to command the stage.
00:12:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:34Find out what it means to me.
00:12:36So let's talk about what you're going to do on stage.
00:12:38I don't have any choreography.
00:12:39And I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it.
00:12:44But, like, I don't know.
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional and I'm crying.
00:12:48So now I'm having fun.
00:12:51And I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:53It's just markers.
00:12:55Like, by this point of the song, I'm going to go to the right.
00:12:58By this point of the song, I'm going to go to the left.
00:13:00All it would take is one of those notes this way or this way.
00:13:04And I think that audience will go crazy.
00:13:08Yeah!
00:13:11Yeah!
00:13:12Yeah!
00:13:12Yeah!
00:13:13Fantastic!
00:13:14It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:17Yeah.
00:13:17It's just the dynamics are so right.
00:13:19I love that you gave us an array of what your vocals could do in this song.
00:13:23Kiki loved my dynamics? Okay. Yeah. Wow. Like, life made.
00:13:28I'm like already, I've been like crying.
00:13:31Being able to sing this in front of you is like,
00:13:34Oh my gosh.
00:13:34Like, I feel like I manifested this moment.
00:13:37Oh my gosh.
00:13:40I'm so glad that I just enjoyed this performance.
00:13:43I'm just so glad we get to have this moment.
00:13:45The song means so much to me. Why I'm singing it means so much to me.
00:13:50And I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:13:56What you want, baby, I got it.
00:14:03What you need, yeah, do you know I got it?
00:14:09Oh, all I'm asking is for.
00:14:16Oh, a little respect.
00:14:21Just a little bit, yeah.
00:14:23Just a little bit, yeah.
00:14:24Just a little bit, yeah.
00:14:24I said a little respect.
00:14:25A little bit, yeah.
00:14:28Yeah, yeah.
00:14:29I ain't gonna do you wrong.
00:14:31I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't want to.
00:14:38All I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home.
00:14:42Baby, baby, baby, when you get home, listen up.
00:14:49R-E-S-B-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.

00:15:15And all I want you to do for me is to give it to me when I can.

00:15:42Oh, here you can find me, Rxa.
00:15:52Yeah!
00:15:57Oh, here you can find me.
00:15:58All right.
00:16:00Some Aretha there.
00:16:02She's a blueprint artist for you, huh?
00:16:04Oh, yeah, she is.
00:16:07Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm,
00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire.
00:16:13Girl, I'm not playing.
00:16:15You were singing down.
00:16:16I even heard a little talking personality throughout
00:16:18when you hit that move at the end.
00:16:20I mean, it was just the performance
00:16:22was established from top to bottom.
00:16:23You gave us stage presents.
00:16:24You gave us the outfit.
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J. Blige.
00:16:27Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:16:30I just live, mama.
00:16:33So we've known you for a bit, and we've
00:16:36been in these much more subdued situations.
00:16:39I feel like this was the missing ingredient.
00:16:42We always knew you could sing, but you can entertain.
00:16:46Like, you were having fun with it.
00:16:49Yeah, yeah.
00:16:50You completely made it your own.
00:16:52You weren't trying to copy anybody.
00:16:54You did you.
00:16:55You rearranged the song.
00:16:56They had fun.
00:16:58You had fun.
00:16:59We had fun.
00:17:00That was amazing.
00:17:01Thank you so much.
00:17:02You're okay.
00:17:03That was good.
00:17:05Whoa, that was Aretha Ray, y'all.
00:17:07I mean, I'm just out of, I don't know what vitamin pill
00:17:10you took, but this is when you have to surprise us.
00:17:15You pulled it out and gave it to us.
00:17:16That was amazing.
00:17:17I love it.
00:17:18Thank you so much.
00:17:20You got my respect.
00:17:24And you're one of our best singers, if not the best singer.
00:17:27And a way to come out and work the crowd.
00:17:32That didn't get lost on you.
00:17:35Well, look at me dropping nuggets of wisdom, I think.
00:17:40Anyway, I just loved the whole performance.
00:17:42It was comfortable.
00:17:43You were entertaining.
00:17:45Make sure you get America voting for you.

00:19:07Vacation to Hawaii and come around every so often for them to be able to see all my hard
00:19:11work kind of pay off.
00:19:13It feels great.
00:19:14I'm from Galveston, Tennessee, and hometown support has been awesome.
00:19:19You perform all around town.
00:19:20How does that happen with you being in high school?
00:19:22Oh, it's just fun.
00:19:24Teachers and students and my buddies, and they all come out to shows and all of that.
00:19:28Oh, my God!
00:19:29And I do play one of your songs in almost every gig.
00:19:32Oh, really?
00:19:33I'm a massive Brad Payson fan.
00:19:39I play the farmer's market a lot in Nashville.
00:19:41Yeah, yeah.
00:19:41It gets the tips.
00:19:43I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing, his singing, his songwriting, his
00:19:47stage presence, everything about him.
00:19:49I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months.
00:19:52Maybe you can come to that, and then we can walk around backstage.
00:19:55That would be awesome.
00:19:56Thank you so much.
00:19:56So what song are you doing today?
00:19:58I'm going to be doing Just to See You Smile.
00:19:59You know, it's one of my favorite songs ever written.
00:20:02Just to see you smile, I'd do anything.
00:20:07You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song, and then acknowledge there's an audience.
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me, but I was loving the eye.
00:20:17So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing.
00:20:21It doesn't sound like Tim, and it shouldn't.
00:20:23It sounds like you, and that's hard to do.
00:20:26Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this, isn't it?
00:20:29It really is.
00:20:30You know, they say I don't meet your heroes, but I'm really glad I met Brad.
00:20:33So I'm hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage.
00:20:41You always had enough of things to glitter And I was far from being made of gold
00:20:51I don't know how, but I've scrimped up the money Oh, I just never could quite tell you no
00:21:01But just like when you were leaving Emory, Lord And taking that new job in Tennessee
00:21:12And I quit mine so we could be together And I can't forget the way you looked at me
00:21:20But just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to
00:21:32And all is said and done I'd never count a call It's one thought that's lost
00:21:43Just to see you smile Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted
00:21:52When you came walking up to me with him And I told you that I was happy for you
00:22:01But just to see you smile And giving the chance I'd like it
00:22:06And giving the chance I'd like it Just to see you smile
00:22:11And I'd do anything That you wanted me to
00:22:17And all is said and done I'd never count the cost
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost Just to see you smile
00:22:36Just to see you smile
00:22:40Yeah!
00:22:44Yeah!
00:22:49Lovely.
00:22:50It was lovely.
00:22:52Lovely.
00:22:52It was lovely.
00:22:53You know, you made that so comfortable.
00:22:56Yes.
00:22:56I almost forgot that you were a contestant.
00:22:59That's what you want.
00:23:00You want comfort.
00:23:01You want people to understand that this is what you do
00:23:05naturally.
00:23:06And what you just performed there was about as natural
00:23:08as you were ever going to get.
00:23:09It was fantastic.
00:23:13I agree with everything that Lionel said,
00:23:15because you literally transported us into your world.
00:23:17I felt like I was at a beach club.
00:23:19I was at a festival.
00:23:20You know, I haven't been in love in ages.
00:23:22I'm single as a Pringle.
00:23:24And I felt romantic because you set the tone.
00:23:27You were making me smile.
00:23:29I mean, I just loved it.
00:23:30You are very much you.
00:23:31And you did a fabulous job.
00:23:33Thank you so much.
00:23:34Single as a Pringle.
00:23:36Your voice is so, it is powerful.
00:23:39It is beautiful.
00:23:40And there is something really special about the simplicity.
00:23:43You don't try to over sing.
00:23:45There you go.
00:23:46You're like laid back in the pocket.
00:23:48There you go.
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you and to watch you.
00:23:52Thank you so much.
00:23:52I loved it.
00:23:53Yeah.
00:23:54Luke Bryan.
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering, keep making us feel comfortable,
00:24:00but also keep adding the pressure and intensity and big songs that
00:24:05really pull you outside of your comfort zone,
00:24:07but you just keep knocking every performance out of the park.
00:24:10Thank you so much.
00:24:13Luke predicted you would make your hometown's Wikipedia page at some point, right?
00:24:17I'm sure.
00:24:19Maybe old Lucas Leon.
00:24:21Maybe.
00:24:22He's got a spot here on the Wikipedia.
00:24:24So I was just backstage doing my research.
00:24:27Gallatin, Tennessee.
00:24:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:24:29And look at this.
00:24:29Lucas Leon, American Idol, season 24 contestant.
00:24:33Woo-hoo!
00:24:35Lucas Leon, you've got to vote for him right now.
00:24:38If you want his idol journey to live on,
00:24:39there's multiple ways to cast your own votes.
00:24:41Head on over to AmericanIdol.com for all the details.
00:24:44Lucas Leon, everyone.
00:24:45All right, buddy, thank you.
00:24:46Congrats.
00:24:46Well done.
00:24:51Next, worship director, Jordan McCullough,
00:24:54takes on a U2 crowd pleaser.
00:24:56Here's how he impressed.
00:24:58Right?
00:25:01How you like in Hawaii?
00:25:03Girl, I'm trying to figure out how I can stay a little long.
00:25:04Yes!
00:25:05Because my goodness, the sun is nice.
00:25:07The water is nice.
00:25:09Goofy!
00:25:09I got to meet Goofy.
00:25:11I honestly felt like a little kid when I saw him.
00:25:13Oh, my god.
00:25:14How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:17I came in a little unsure.
00:25:18Jordan!
00:25:19But it landed me the platinum ticket.
00:25:21The hopefuls voted for me, and it was amazing.
00:25:23I felt so honored.
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on because I feel like a lot of
00:25:27people are looking at me to see, OK, how can he follow up?
00:25:30So what are you singing today?
00:25:31Today I'm singing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:33by U2.
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre.
00:25:36I picked this song because it talks about I still haven't
00:25:39found what I'm looking for.
00:25:40But honestly, as I'm continuing my journey in American Idol,
00:25:43I've kind of finally found what I'm looking for.
00:25:46I'm finding my passion.
00:25:47I have run through the field.
00:25:52I'm kind of known right now for the showstopper experience,
00:25:55and I want to just show the judges that I can actually just
00:25:57stand here and sing, too.
00:25:59Just me.
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself.
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed in
00:26:03college.
00:26:04So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice.
00:26:07You know what I'm saying?
00:26:07That's like definitely bold, and it could be risky.
00:26:10He's taking a risk, but I think it'll pay off.
00:26:12You've got to swing for that fence.
00:26:14I mean, for me, it really says I'm out here without a net.
00:26:18That's the energy that I'm looking for, OK?
00:26:21I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort, for sure.
00:26:24But my approach will be a little bit different than what
00:26:27America has seen, and I hope that they will enjoy it
00:26:29and love it, too.
00:26:36I have climbed the highest mountain.
00:26:47I have climbed through the fields only to be with you, only to be with you.
00:27:08I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, these city walls, only to be
00:27:30with you.
00:27:33But I still have it found, oh, what I'm looking for.
00:27:53I believe in the kingdom come, with all the colors, and bleed into one.
00:28:03Bleed into one.
00:28:06But he asked, I'm still running
00:28:10You broke the box
00:28:15You lose the chains
00:28:18You carry the cross
00:28:20Oh, my shame
00:28:22Oh, my shame
00:28:26You know I believe that
00:28:30Yeah, but I still
00:28:34Haven't found
00:28:37What I'm looking for
00:28:41But I still
00:28:44Haven't found
00:28:45What I'm looking for
00:28:51But I still
00:28:53Haven't found
00:29:05What I'm looking for
00:29:07Oh, my shame
00:29:17Hey, hey
00:29:18Hey, hey
00:29:19What?
00:29:25Beautiful job with that YouTube song
00:29:26You're shaking up here a little bit, huh?
00:29:30That emotion, a little overwhelming
00:29:32What were you feeling at the end?
00:29:33Yeah, man, it's so ironic to sing a song about, man, not finding what you're looking for
00:29:37I've done many things
00:29:38I've tried many things
00:29:39But tonight
00:29:40Looking out and seeing all of you guys
00:29:42I feel like I finally have found
00:29:45What I'm looking for
00:29:49I think that Jordan has used up all the notes possible in the music business
00:29:59First of all, Jordan, to take a U2 song and turn it into spiritual
00:30:07That's a feat
00:30:08And then on top of that, turn the U2 song into your song
00:30:14Is the way you win competitions
00:30:18Thank you so much
00:30:19Thank you
00:30:22I love that Lionel used the word spiritual
00:30:25Because I feel like I just had the most amazing moment listening to you
00:30:30Because we're in this heavenly made place
00:30:33Listening to your anointed voice
00:30:36Yes
00:30:36Like, praise the Lord
00:30:38Amen
00:30:39For all of this
00:30:40Because it was absolutely just mind-blowing
00:30:43That was incredible, Jordan
00:30:45Thank you so much
00:30:46You are so blessed
00:30:47Thank you
00:30:48Thank you, I receive it
00:30:51Jordan
00:30:53What I have to say is just to everyone
00:30:55Because when we see a talent like you come up on the stage
00:30:57I think the thought is
00:30:58Oh, they're safe
00:30:59America, you still gotta vote
00:31:01Know that at the end of the day
00:31:02No matter how great he is

00:31:05Because you gotta be in this competition
00:31:06You are incredible

00:31:09Thank you so much
00:31:10That's all I gotta say
00:31:11Thank you
00:31:13Your vocal command
00:31:14And your presence
00:31:16Like, when you hit your first note
00:31:18Everybody pays attention to you
00:31:19Because you know how to really own that moment
00:31:22And your voice is that big
00:31:24And to be able to navigate the notes
00:31:26To take us on this journey
00:31:28Man, you're a powerhouse singer
00:31:30Wow
00:31:31Wow
00:31:31And you keep surprising me
00:31:33You know, the Ohana rounds
00:31:35When you came out and did what you did
00:31:37I was like
00:31:37Who is this guy?
00:31:39Look at him
00:31:39And that's what it takes
00:31:41To get through each round
00:31:42Of this competition
00:31:42And win the thing
00:31:44So great job

00:34:05By Jessie J
00:34:06Okay
00:34:06I'm dedicating this song
00:34:07To my mother
00:34:09My mom has always been there for me
00:34:11She's the reason
00:34:12I started performing
00:34:13She's a rapper
00:34:16She's a teacher
00:34:18And getting her bachelor's degree
00:34:19All while being a mother
00:34:21A single mother
00:34:22It's insane to me
00:34:23I want her to just feel like
00:34:25Everything she's put into me
00:34:26Is finally pouring out
00:34:28I love you
00:34:29And you got this
00:34:32I'm so excited
00:34:33I'm gonna get to see you

00:34:41But I was failing
00:34:42My third driver's test by now
00:34:44Her focus is really there
00:34:47See Mama

00:34:52On those Mama Knows Best
00:34:54And we hear that boom boom
00:34:55I want to see a step forward
00:34:56You know
00:34:57Really leaning into the audience
00:34:58On those moments
00:34:59Because it's kind of like
00:35:00The direct
00:35:00You confronting them
00:35:01Yes
00:35:02See Mama
00:35:03Mama knows best
00:35:04See Daddy
00:35:05Daddy knows best
00:35:07So you're dedicating this
00:35:08To your mom

00:35:28Dedicating the song to her mom
00:35:29I love the lineage respect
00:35:31I wanted her to be herself
00:35:32I just felt like
00:35:33That's all you can bring
00:35:34Is yourself
00:35:34And I felt like
00:35:35God ordained this
00:35:36This is already predestined
00:35:37So regardless of whatever happens
00:35:39I felt like she's a winner

00:36:00Like a storm in the sky

00:44:22By the way, thank you for being here
00:44:23For the mentorship that you're providing
00:44:26Oh my god
00:44:26The energy, the guidance you're giving
00:44:28It's my pleasure
00:44:28It's my pleasure
00:44:29Yeah
00:44:31So, she can sing, obviously
00:44:33She can dance
00:44:34She can act
00:44:35You also have a podcast
00:44:37Oh, and I gotta have you on my podcast
00:44:39What is the name of the podcast?
00:44:41It's called Baby, This is Kiki Palmer
00:44:43And what is...
00:44:46What does Kiki Palmer talk about on Baby, This is Kiki Palmer?
00:44:49Well, you know, I'm curious
00:44:50And I like to talk to icons such as yourself
00:44:52To learn how you got to be this way
00:44:54Thank you
00:44:54But the fact that you call me an icon with Mickey next to me
00:44:58That was very, very generous
00:44:59Kiki Palmer, one more time, everybody
00:45:01Thank you, that was amazing
00:45:04Coming up, the depth of the talent this year is off the charts
00:45:07And hoping to prove just that is Madison Moon
00:45:29Looking good, back with you on American Idol
00:45:32We always love the backdrop here at Disney's Aulani Resort
00:45:35What better place to chase the idol dream
00:45:37Hoping to shine tonight
00:45:39It's Madison Moon
00:45:46Guys, look at it
00:45:47Oh my goodness
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere, my family finds a sunset
00:45:52Being able to do that in Hawaii means everything
00:45:54Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57Literally doesn't even feel real
00:45:59My dad got to join me in meeting Kiki Palmer and Brad Paisley
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice from my daddy
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist
00:46:07And he pours his heart and soul into it
00:46:09He had a high school band
00:46:11He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera
00:46:13Which was dope
00:46:14Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:16I'll do it for her
00:46:18I'll do it for her
00:46:19He wanted to pursue it further
00:46:20But he decided to give that up to raise a family
00:46:24Don't stop believing
00:46:27The world kind of missed out on him as a musician
00:46:33Streetlights people
00:46:39Oh my gosh
00:46:41You're so good
00:46:41Oh my gosh
00:46:42Yes
00:46:43It's a moment I'll never forget
00:46:44What are you doing for us today?
00:46:46Since you've been gone
00:46:48Since you've been gone
00:46:48Kelly Clarkson
00:46:48Okay
00:46:49It's very bold
00:46:50Especially doing a song by a former idol
00:46:53Since you've been gone
00:46:56I can't breathe for the first time
00:46:59I'm all about taking risks in this competition
00:47:02I haven't played it safe
00:47:03And I'm not going to
00:47:04It's pretty crazy what's in the tank
00:47:07You were feeling it and being fun
00:47:09And not taking it too seriously
00:47:10But also giving in when it was time
00:47:12And again and again and again
00:47:16Woo
00:47:16There was a moment with the note
00:47:18Where I was like
00:47:18Uh oh
00:47:19How are you feeling about the big note?
00:47:20I wasn't really
00:47:21Yeah
00:47:22You know doing all the warm-ups and stuff today
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24One thing that always helped me to be
00:47:26To lean in
00:47:27If I go left
00:47:28Let me go all the way left
00:47:30You know it's never any mistakes
00:47:31Because
00:47:31We don't really know what you was trying to do
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure
00:47:35If I don't hit this note
00:47:37I'm going home
00:47:46Here's the thing
00:47:47You started out friends
00:47:49It was cool but it was all pretend
00:47:53Yeah, yeah
00:47:55Since you've been gone
00:47:59And all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:02Is how I picture me with you
00:48:06That's all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:09Since you've been gone
00:48:13I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:17I'm so moving on
00:48:19Yeah, yeah
00:48:20Next to you
00:48:23Now I get
00:48:24What I want
00:48:28And you've been on
00:48:30You are
00:48:31You're trapped
00:48:32You're blue
00:48:33Out of sight
00:48:35Out of mind
00:48:37Shut your mouth
00:48:38I just can't take it
00:48:41Again
00:48:41And again
00:48:42And again
00:48:43And again
00:48:44And again
00:48:48Ooh
00:48:49Ooh

00:49:01Picture you

00:49:12So I'm moving on
00:49:14Yeah, yeah
00:49:16Thanks to you, I won't get
00:49:19You should know that I get
00:49:23I get what I want
00:49:26Since you've been gone
00:49:29Since you've been gone
00:49:33Since you've been gone
00:49:39Wow
00:49:40Wow
00:49:40Thank you, y'all
00:49:43Taking on one of Idol's biggest voices
00:49:45Wow, wow
00:49:48Amazing to watch you and then us cut to your father
00:49:50Who was singing every lyric as well down there
00:49:52It was brilliant
00:49:53He was like
00:49:55I love you, Daddy
00:49:57What was that face you did?
00:50:00There it is
00:50:03So earlier today
00:50:04I was like over in my room
00:50:06And I could hear this song kind of being played
00:50:09I couldn't see anything
00:50:10So I didn't really know
00:50:11But I was like
00:50:12I bet that's Madison
00:50:14Like that has to
00:50:15She's the only one that I feel like could go for this
00:50:18And pull it off
00:50:19And you did
00:50:19I love your voice so much
00:50:21I love that you're just you
00:50:23You've got incredible pipes
00:50:25That's a tall order song
00:50:27Like nobody wants to sing this song
00:50:29Because it's really hard
00:50:30And you tackled it, girl
00:50:35You just
00:50:37Honestly blew my wig off my head
00:50:39Man, there's no doubt about it
00:50:40When I tell you
00:50:42Power
00:50:44You have it in spades
00:50:45I kept thinking at some point
00:50:47Okay, she's gonna take a breath
00:50:48She's gonna come back down
00:50:49Give a moment
00:50:50Girl, you stayed
00:50:53FM all the way through then
00:50:54It was amazing
00:50:55Amazing
00:50:57Keep that mentality
00:50:59Keep that rocker energy
00:51:03Pushing yourself
00:51:04Surprising us with what you can do
00:51:06You went after that
00:51:07And you nailed it
00:51:08And like I said
00:51:09You're the one that can do it
00:51:10Be that person
00:51:11Be that sign of it
00:51:14Thank you
00:51:15You have such an incredible voice
00:51:17She's so powerful
00:51:18And I was nervous for a second
00:51:19I'm like
00:51:19Is she gonna hit that Kelly note
00:51:21That we know
00:51:21Why don't nobody wanna sing this song?
00:51:23And you did it
00:51:25I've been a fan of American Idol

00:52:48So keep them coming.
00:52:50Next to take the stage is Minnesota's Chris Cuncet.
00:52:57This morning I woke up early and went to the spa.
00:53:01This is the first time ever being pampered.
00:53:03This is the best.
00:53:05I've been enjoying the princess treatment, but I don't think it's going to last very long.
00:53:08When I'm not here with American Idol, I'm working and I'm trying to pay bills.
00:53:13I don't really have a whole lot of downtime, so being in a spa for the first time was so
00:53:17nice.
00:53:18This round I'll be singing Apologize by Warner Public.
00:53:21Classic.
00:53:22Yeah, classic.
00:53:23When I was about 12, 13, I would hop on my bike with my papers and do my paper route,
00:53:28and I'd listen to the song over and over and over again.
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:53:36This is one of the more intimate things somebody's done.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:39I want to make this one a little bit more fun.
00:53:41A song that people know, a song that people want to sing along to, but also with intimacy.
00:53:46But fun is different for everybody, right?
00:53:47Right.
00:53:48So we don't have to be everybody's version of fun.
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:50But I think letting that hair down.
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:52I don't know what you're wearing, but a little unbuttoned, you know what I mean?
00:53:55Yeah, yeah.
00:53:55Very handsome, so leaning into that appeal, I think with this song will all bring the funness
00:54:00that you're also looking to.
00:54:01Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:03Yes.
00:54:05There you go.
00:54:07I said it's too late to apologize.
00:54:11It's too late.
00:54:13He wants to make it fun.
00:54:15Well, in my mind, I want to see you lean into your image.
00:54:18Yeah.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:19I'm telling you, working everything you got.
00:54:22I wish I could do that.
00:54:24I can't do that.
00:54:25I might have to take Kiki's advice and let my hair down and drop a button or two.
00:54:29That's it.
00:54:30That was giving.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33Yeah.
00:54:42I'm holding on your robe, got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:54:49And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound.
00:54:58You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down away.
00:55:06Tell me that you saw me, didn't think I'd turn around and say that it's too late to apologize.
00:55:17It's too late.
00:55:21I said it's too late to apologize.
00:55:25It's too late to apologize.
00:55:32Oh, say that song, boy.
00:55:37I'll take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you.
00:55:44And I need you like a hard need to be, but it's nothing new.
00:55:52I loved you with the fire red
00:55:56Now it's burning blue
00:56:01Sorry like an angel
00:56:03Heaven let me think it was you
00:56:08Cause it's too late to apologize
00:56:12It's too late
00:56:16I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:30I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:36It's too late
00:56:48There he is
00:56:49Nice work
00:56:50So you wanted to create some intimate moments in that performance, right?
00:56:54Yeah, absolutely
00:56:55Lionel?
00:56:56So let me just tell you, the first verse, you were concentrating so hard you almost blew up
00:57:02I'm telling you, you were just in every note, I'm thinking about it, I gotta make it perfect
00:57:08Second verse, you joined us
00:57:12I mean, from that point on, you just kind of let go and deliver the goods
00:57:17Enjoy that stage
00:57:18You've got the gift
00:57:20Thank you, Lionel
00:57:23Thank you
00:57:24Chris, you have a great voice, but you also have a great vibe
00:57:27And the way that you transformed the song
00:57:30It was like, okay, I'm getting the Chris version of this song
00:57:32And I think for me, I want to hear more of you
00:57:34To really get into that vibe of what makes Chris, Chris
00:57:37And so to Lionel's point, I want to see you get more comfortable
00:57:39I want to see you get relaxed
00:57:41I want to come into your world because I know that there's a lot there
00:57:43Thank you, Kiki
00:57:45Yeah, great job
00:57:45Ms. Underwood
00:57:48I love your voice so much
00:57:50Like, you just have this gorgeous, like, laid-back vibrato
00:57:55It doesn't sound like anybody else
00:57:57One little thing, and I don't mean this weird
00:58:00But you've got this mysterious, sexy vibe going
00:58:05And I feel like you need to know that
00:58:08I like what you look sad
00:58:10I thought I was the only one with the mysterious, sexy vibe going
00:58:13Oh, no, no, come on, Luke
00:58:16I mean this as a compliment
00:58:17It's like one of your kind of, like, superpowers
00:58:20And if you own that, I feel like they will just eat it up
00:58:24I agree
00:58:25Sorry if that was weird
00:58:27I'm sorry
00:58:28I love my husband
00:58:29Yes
00:58:31I'm just saying
00:58:33Man, I want to hear that power you got
00:58:35I want you to partner that voice with that sexy stuff that Carrie's bringing up
00:58:41Which, I mean, hey, hi, you know, I see it, dawg, I see it
00:58:47I know what she's talking about
00:58:49Am I rambling, Ryan?

00:58:51Look, he's making you nervous, he's so cute
00:58:53I understand
00:58:54But the main thing that's really important is I see you getting right up to the edge
00:58:59And just, man, just set yourself free and start singing

01:00:49Being here in Hawaii
01:00:50Has been so different
01:00:51From being back home

01:00:54It is different

01:01:50I'm just like really excited
01:01:51And proud to be here
01:01:52Hey
01:01:53Hi there
01:01:54What's up Ruby Rae
01:01:55For the beach round
01:01:56I'm going to be singing
01:01:57Drag Me Down by One Direction
01:01:58Why this song?
01:01:59I chose this song
01:02:00As kind of a thank you
01:02:01To my three older brothers
01:02:02Because they were
01:02:04My biggest supporters
01:02:05When I was dealing
01:02:06With some mean girls
01:02:07Back in middle school
01:02:08Uh oh
01:02:09I decided when I was 11
01:02:11That it would be a fun idea
01:02:12To shave my head
01:02:13So I had a buzz cut
01:02:15I have some photos
01:02:16Please show us
01:02:17That's
01:02:17Wow
01:02:18I ended up like losing
01:02:20A lot of my friends
01:02:21Because of it
01:02:21Because of that?
01:02:22Yes
01:02:22So my brothers
01:02:23They had my back
01:02:24And so this is like a
01:02:25Thank you
01:02:25Nobody can drag me down
01:02:26With their love
01:02:27Okay
01:02:27Oh I love that
01:02:29All my life
01:02:31You stood by me
01:02:33It's an amazing thing
01:02:34That one of the most
01:02:35Formative events
01:02:36Of her life
01:02:36Was a bullying
01:02:38For a really trivial thing
01:02:39I think that's actually
01:02:41Going to serve her
01:02:41Use that experience
01:02:43To really grab this audience
01:02:45It's certainly a song
01:02:46That embodies the hope
01:02:48And the struggle
01:02:48And that's great
01:02:50Thank you
01:02:51Use that
01:02:51This song does come
01:02:52From kind of a sad place
01:02:53But I want to just
01:02:55Stand strong
01:02:55And still like
01:02:56Give a fun performance
01:02:58To watch
01:03:06I got five for a heart
01:03:08I'm not scared of the dark
01:03:10You've never seen it look so easy
01:03:13I got a river for a soul
01:03:15And baby you're a boat
01:03:17Baby you're my only reason
01:03:20If I didn't have you
01:03:21There would be nothing left
01:03:23The shell of a man
01:03:25The shell of a man could never be his best
01:03:26If I didn't have you
01:03:28I'd never see the sun
01:03:30You taught me how to be someone
01:03:33Hey
01:03:34All my life
01:03:36You stood by me
01:03:37When no one else was ever behind me
01:03:41All these lights
01:03:43They can't find me
01:03:44With your love
01:03:46Nobody can drag me
01:03:48All my life
01:03:50You stood by me
01:03:51When no one else was ever behind me
01:03:55All these lights
01:03:57They can't find me
01:03:58With your love
01:04:00Nobody can drag me
01:04:06Nobody can drag me down
01:04:10Nobody, nobody
01:04:11Nobody, nobody
01:04:13Nobody can drag me
01:04:16All my life
01:04:18You stood by me
01:04:19When no one else was ever behind me
01:04:23All these lights
01:04:25They can't find me
01:04:26With your love
01:04:27Nobody can drag me down
01:04:33Nobody, nobody
01:04:35Nobody can drag me down
01:04:39Nobody, nobody
01:04:42Nobody can drag me down
01:04:49Nobody, nobody
01:04:51Nobody can drag me down
01:04:53Nobody can drag me down
01:04:56Nobody can drag me down
01:04:57Nobody can drag me down.
01:05:10Way to go.
01:05:11The judges are on their feet after that.
01:05:14You are such a ray of sunshine.
01:05:16You're always got this gazillion watt smile,
01:05:19and you can't help but smile watching you.
01:05:21I want to challenge you a little bit to find your sassy side.
01:05:26When you're singing, nobody can drag me down, you know?
01:05:29Got to have a little sass in there.
01:05:30So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself
01:05:33and show it, bring it.
01:05:34All right.
01:05:35Let's go.
01:05:35So I thought for a moment when she started,
01:05:38I said she's going to run out of air because she's moving.
01:05:41I can hear her breathing.
01:05:43And then she hit that note and held it all evening.
01:05:46I know you were thinking.
01:05:47You were overthinking.
01:05:48Don't do it.
01:05:49You've got the goods.
01:05:50That was amazing that you kind of pulled that one out.
01:05:53I'm telling you.
01:05:53Yeah, thank you.
01:05:54It's 16, right?
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:56Yeah.
01:05:56That's disgusting.
01:05:58That's just disgusting.
01:05:59Yeah.
01:06:00First of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that.
01:06:02The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able
01:06:05to take your time with it and, you know, let the band catch up to you
01:06:08instead of you being a little bit in front of them.
01:06:10Yeah.
01:06:10But these are small things that'll go towards you in this competition
01:06:13just to make your performance better, and incredible job.
01:06:17You did fabulous.
01:06:18Yeah.
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20Yeah.
01:06:21It's hard to get out of like a 16-year-old mentality, but you do have a great voice.
01:06:26It was really like a 16-year-old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you,
01:06:31which is, what is it, Lionel?
01:06:33It's disgusting.
01:06:34It's just disgusting.
01:06:35But you need to work on this.
01:06:37Like, you know, get in that mentality of, like, I'm going to get out here and, like,
01:06:41almost create a little alter ego where you got a little more angst in there.
01:06:45But I love your voice, and we know you've got all the goods in there.
01:06:49So thank you.
01:06:50Thank you so much.
01:06:51It's all good feedback, and every time you're up on the stage, you'll get better and better
01:06:55at all of that.
01:06:55Lots of thing about some good stuff there.

01:07:45Here's his mentor meetup with Brad and Kiki.
01:07:49I was here two summers ago.
01:07:51My family and I were big Hawaii fans.
01:07:54We're also big Disney fans, and my favorite character is Stitch.
01:07:57Stitch!
01:07:59What's going on, buddy?
01:08:00I just think he's a little troublemaker.
01:08:02I love his voice.
01:08:03Ohana means family.
01:08:05Family means nobody gets left behind.
01:08:07So be back here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
01:08:10Feels like a blessing.
01:08:12There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii.
01:08:17Hi.
01:08:17Hi, Julian.
01:08:19For this round, I'm choosing a song called Tourniquet by Zack Bryan.
01:08:26It means a lot to me.
01:08:28So why is that?
01:08:29Tourniquet to me means picking someone else up when they're hurting and always telling someone,
01:08:34I have your back.
01:08:35Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want a tourniquet, know that I'll be by your side.
01:08:41What always heals my heart is thinking about the people that I have in my life.
01:08:45And what motivates me even more is hoping that whoever's listening gets that feeling that I understand, I see you.
01:08:52It felt very authentic.
01:08:54And so I think you're getting a real sense of who he is as an artist.
01:08:57You know, that's magic being this close.
01:09:00Thank you so much.
01:09:00You know, it's really captivating.
01:09:03Your prowess on the guitar shows.
01:09:05Your voice is perfect.
01:09:07Thank you so much.
01:09:08You're suited for that song.
01:09:09Sometimes when you're in a competition, it's like you're thinking about what's gonna do my voice the best.
01:09:13But if you just sing what's true to you, it somehow is most perfect.
01:09:16Music can feel like a hug. Music can feel like a hand on your back that tells you you're not
01:09:21alone.
01:09:22And that's what I'm trying to replicate with my performance.
01:09:24Music can feel like a hug.
01:09:42There's letters on the plains out of Eastern Montana, where you told me you were bleeding from.
01:09:48You're stabbed to the back in the rest of your body.
01:09:52Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:09:54Well, if you need a tourniquet
01:09:57Or if you wanna turn it quick
01:09:58Know that I'll be by your side
01:10:01Pledge your whole soul
01:10:03And the things you can't control
01:10:04In a world you'll never satisfy
01:10:08But I'll bandage up your body
01:10:10Your bones and your bad days too
01:10:14Take care of the blood
01:10:16That your love runs through
01:10:19I know all the damage some days
01:10:22In this dark world does
01:10:25But you have been last seen
01:10:28Something I dreamed of
01:10:31Come on!
01:10:38Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:10:41Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:10:43Oh, oh, oh
01:10:45Oh, bandage up your body
01:10:48Your bones and your bad days too
01:10:52Take care of the blood
01:10:54That your love runs through
01:10:56Oh, oh, oh
01:10:57And I know all the damage some days
01:11:00In this dark world does
01:11:03But you left in last season
01:11:05Something I dreamed of
01:11:10Dreamed of
01:11:13There's delays on the plains
01:11:15Out of Eastern Montana
01:11:16Where you told me you were
01:11:18Leading from
01:11:19You've been stabbed in the back
01:11:21And the rest of your body
01:11:23Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:11:26Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from
01:11:29Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:11:31Yeah, man
01:11:37Yeah, man
01:11:39Kulian!
01:11:40Well, just listen to that
01:11:44Thank you
01:11:45Thank you
01:11:45What did you connect with in that song?
01:11:47What message?
01:11:48Well, to me, I wanted to
01:11:50Whenever I listen to a song like this
01:11:51I think of unconditional love, whether it be for a friend, for someone you love.
01:11:56And it just means that you're never going to leave their side on their worst days and their best days.
01:12:01I wanted it to feel like a hand on your back, a hand, you know, that you can hold, a
01:12:06hug.
01:12:07Just, you know, letting you know that you're never alone, no matter how down you are.
01:12:13I love you. That's all I'm going to say. I love you.
01:12:17Be key.
01:12:18I haven't been a part of the journey like these guys, but I agree.
01:12:22I mean, I feel like I've been watching you in the light of this.
01:12:24I can tell how much it means to you and that it's so true to you.
01:12:27Your voice is beautiful.
01:12:29I mean, I can listen to you go on and on and on, you know, and then when you look
01:12:32up, you're talking about tourniquet.
01:12:33This is a deep and intense song, but you're delivering that hope when you look up during the performance and
01:12:38you flash us that smile.
01:12:40It does feel hopeful. It's beautiful. I loved it. Great job.
01:12:43Thank you so much.

01:15:13It's been fun having Drew here.
01:15:15He has been by my side every step of the way.
01:15:18Unfortunately, my son couldn't be here for this performance because he had to go back to school.
01:15:22Maybe on my next voyage, I can meet him.
01:15:24Okay, yes, for sure.
01:15:27How you doing?
01:15:29Huge fan.
01:15:30I'm a big fan of Kiki, but see myself in front of her, I was like, mama, I made it.
01:15:34I love that.
01:15:35Well, Keilah, I'm so excited.
01:15:36What are you going to be singing?
01:15:37With a little help with my friend.
01:15:38All right.
01:15:39What drew you to this song?
01:15:41There was a time when I didn't feel like I was good enough.
01:15:44You know, I didn't know where I was going.
01:15:45I was confused.
01:15:46God had to place friends around me.
01:15:47I had that really helped me.
01:15:49They were destiny helpers to me.
01:15:50Helped me to my purpose, and they pushed me.
01:15:53What would you do if I sang?
01:15:56Hearing her sing, I didn't know what to expect.
01:15:59And when her voice came out, it was just awesome.
01:16:03It felt so truthful.
01:16:08She seemed like, oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:15If I would a little help from my friends, yeah.
01:16:24Oh, that was a lot.
01:16:26Oh, no, oh, no.
01:16:28That's first.
01:16:32Such a special voice.
01:16:36Such a special voice.
01:16:47Wow.
01:16:48That voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:50What you're doing is more than just singing.
01:16:52You're embodying spirit through song.
01:16:55That's beautiful.
01:16:56Seriously.
01:16:57It blew my mind when I sang for the mentors.
01:17:00I'm humble, and I'm grateful, because that just lets me know that no matter what I sang,
01:17:04and somebody's going to feel it, and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:19What would you do if I sang got a tune?
01:17:25Would you stand up and walk out on me?
01:17:29Lend me your ear when I sang you a song, and I would try not to sing it out of
01:17:37key.
01:17:37Oh, yeah, if I would a little help from my friends, getting by with a little help from my friends,
01:17:48is it all right if I get by with a little help from my friends?
01:17:52Oh, yeah.
01:17:59What would you do when my love is going away?
01:18:04Because we're all on your own.
01:18:05Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:18:08And how would I feel any new day?
01:18:14Are you sad because you're all on your own, yeah?
01:18:19Oh, I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:22Is it all right if it's just me and my friends?
01:18:25I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:27Where are you getting by?
01:18:29And I'm a little help from my friends.
01:18:32Oh, oh, oh, yeah!
01:18:34Oh, oh, oh, yeah!
01:18:37But I can't!
01:18:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
