00:09:53Now, vying for those all-important votes, performing Gyra is Hilo Richardson.
00:10:01I'm a single mom.
00:10:03My son is the reason why I gotta keep going.
00:10:05Hi, Mr. Luke.
00:10:06One of my favorite moments I've ever had on this show.
00:10:08That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this show.
00:10:13She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:25I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:30I wasn't holding you up, so there's nothing I can do to let you down.
00:10:37It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:43And I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:48Hey, hey.
00:10:51You are alone.
00:10:53You are alone.
00:10:54You are alone.
00:10:55Hey, everybody say.
00:10:57You are alone.
00:11:08You are alone.
00:11:11Oh, if he dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor, how much more would he clothe you?
00:11:25How much more would he clothe you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:11:38How much more would he love you?
00:11:41And we say, gyro, you are enough for me, whether there's human that you need, freedom that you need, and
00:11:53I will be contented, in every circumstance, and we say, gyro, you are enough.
00:12:06Oh, if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:12:36And more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:40You were walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence and your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Loved it.
00:12:51Loved it.
00:12:54What a way to kick off the show.
00:12:56I mean, you kind of put us right there in the mind frame of, you know, being grateful and just
00:13:04the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:08And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:15Oh, my gosh.
00:13:19I mean, you've kind of touched me in a lot of ways since your audition and just watching your growth
00:13:26from there to now and watching you come out here and really command the room and the stage.
00:13:30And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just making this your moment, and I love that.
00:13:37Way to kick off the night.
00:13:38Great job.
00:13:41Well, you did it.
00:13:42You kicked off the night, just like Luke said.
00:13:44Your boy Drew was having a good time watching that performance.
00:13:46We saw him on TV.
00:13:47And I noticed in rehearsal that you were getting emotional singing that song.
00:13:51What were you feeling at the beginning of the day?
00:13:54Just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here and grateful to God just to be on this platform and to share my grip with
00:14:00the world.
00:14:02If you love Kila, you can vote for her right now on social media or via text.
00:14:07You can also head to AmericanIdle.com to vote.

00:14:27So if you love what you hear, check them out.
00:14:29Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finley.
00:14:36You haven't noticed I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt freeing for me because when I sing, I don't stutter.
00:14:42I love this show because we get to meet kids like you.
00:14:45American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life.
00:14:49I've gotten so much more confident in myself.
00:14:54I said out on a narrow way many years ago
00:15:02Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
00:15:09But I got lost a time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
00:15:18I couldn't see how every sign
00:15:22Blended straight to you
00:15:25And every long, long-lost dream
00:15:31Led me to where you are
00:15:35Others who broke my heart
00:15:38They were like northern stars
00:15:43Pointed me on my way
00:15:46Into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know
00:15:52This much I know
00:15:54Is true
00:15:56That God bless the broken road
00:16:01Let me be straight to you
00:16:15God bless the broken road
00:16:21God bless the broken road
00:16:22This much I know
00:16:27This much I know
00:16:29Is true
00:16:29God bless the broken road
00:16:33God bless the broken road
00:16:37God bless the broken road
00:16:41That led me straight to you
00:17:07That was great, Jesse.
00:17:09They made us wait for you.
00:17:11I was like holding my breath for lots of people.
00:17:13But I bet you feel better now that that's over.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:16I mean, that song is such a singable, beautiful song.
00:17:20I know somebody else who sang it a couple decades ago on the show.
00:17:24But when people say you made it your own,
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own.
00:17:28I love the arrangement.
00:17:28I love what you did with it.
00:17:30You made that song suit your voice,
00:17:32and you did it really fantastically.
00:17:34Thank you so much, Kerry.
00:17:35Thank you, guys.
00:17:39Yeah, listen, I love everything you're doing.
00:17:41Your voice is very controlled and very perfect.
00:17:44But then, listen, keep pushing, too,
00:17:47and dig more and more
00:17:48because we're getting into the serious part of the competition.
00:17:50I love the – I totally echo what Kerry just said.
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig, and so glad to see you in this spot.
00:17:58Great.
00:17:59Thank you, Luke.
00:17:59Great job on that.
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys.
00:18:03Honestly, honestly, it's ditto, ditto, ditto.
00:18:07I mean, there's a purity about your voice
00:18:09and a sincerity about your voice
00:18:11that just comes right through first note.
00:18:14Just remember – I like Luke now.
00:18:16Remember, it's down to 14.
00:18:18Give it to us.
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:20All right.
00:18:22Good job, buddy.
00:18:23Nice to see you this evening.
00:18:25She did.
00:18:26She sang that a couple times, I think, in her season, Kerry Underwood.
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Yes, definitely inspired me.
00:18:31She did a great job.
00:18:32And to be able to sing it on the stage in front of her was very special.
00:18:36And it was symbolic, that song, right?
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:38Yeah, it's just a beautiful song.
00:18:39I love, like, the line, God bless the broken road that led me straight to you.
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song that everybody can feel,
00:18:48and God leads us to the right people in life, whether that's friends or family.
00:18:51And I just love that message that the song brings.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote.
00:19:00We're live voting tonight.
00:19:01Don't wait if you want Jesse's Idol journey to continue.
00:19:04Remember, you can vote the usual way online at AmericanIdol.com or via text.

00:20:24Okay, go ahead.
00:20:24Well, in order for me to give a blessing, I do have to say a prayer.
00:20:29But first, I cannot believe that I'm next to the Mr. Richie.

00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done
00:29:31You see, automatically
00:29:32I never thought I would have to share all night long
00:29:36Now people stop me on the street and go
00:29:38I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're Mr. All Night Long
00:29:42Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story
00:29:46And then move the crowd
00:29:48And what you did there was a great, great performance
00:29:53Thank you, sir
00:29:54Thank you
00:29:56I love that I feel like you're so serious
00:30:00Like all the time
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music gets going
00:30:04Then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel
00:30:05And then the music stops again
00:30:07And you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like
00:30:10I feel like we're watching you
00:30:12Kind of just get into
00:30:14A more comfortable, fun space
00:30:16Like I love that you picked
00:30:17Kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:19Because this would be
00:30:21The chance for a lot of people
00:30:22To do like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:24I think that's going to differentiate you tonight
00:30:26A little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:30Yeah
00:30:32Have fun with
00:30:34Have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow
00:30:37And expand
00:30:37And try new things
00:30:38And that's what you did with All Night Long
00:30:40Because we hadn't seen you do that yet
00:30:42And then, like I said
00:30:43This got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek
00:30:49On the way back
00:30:50So
00:30:50You got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but
00:30:53Just keep growing
00:30:54Keep growing
00:30:55Thank you
00:30:56Thank you
00:30:58It was actually a
00:31:00Like a high five with a knee on
00:31:02Kind of thing you did right there
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move
00:31:04Flexibility at its best
00:31:05So, are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher
00:31:10And so I have to be serious
00:31:11Oh
00:31:12That'll do it
00:31:12But what's surreal you?
00:31:13Come on

00:44:50Growing up in a family where it's cool to sing
00:44:53You know, that's got me to this point
00:44:56That was so soulful

00:45:01I think you're a racehorse, man
00:45:03This is my dream
00:45:13Yeah, I don't always feel it
00:45:17Yeah, but that's when I get it the most
00:45:21So I'ma keep on singing
00:45:26Till my soul catches up in my soul
00:45:30And there's times when my hands go up freely
00:45:35And times at a cost
00:45:38And there's days when a praise comes out easy
00:45:45And days when it takes all the strength I've got
00:45:49So I bring my heart cold, heart felt
00:45:53Been through hell
00:45:55Hallelujah
00:45:58And I bring my storm-toed, torn, stale
00:46:03Story to tell
00:46:04Hallelujah
00:46:08Cause God, you've been patient
00:46:11And God, you've been gracious
00:46:13Faithful whatever I'm feeling and facing
00:46:17So I bring my heart cold, heart felt
00:46:22It is well
00:46:23Hallelujah
00:46:24Oh, I fell, I fell, it is well, hallelujah
00:46:37I fell, I fell, it is well, hallelujah
00:46:45Cause God you'll be patient, and God you'll be gracious
00:46:51And pray for whatever I'm feeling facing
00:46:55So I'll bring my home, home, home, there
00:46:59It is well, hallelujah
00:47:04Oh, hallelujah
00:47:21Brayden, you are here because you have an incredible voice
00:47:25Like, hands down, you showed it off

00:47:38It was great
00:47:42Yeah, just, if you get through, I hope you do
00:47:45Just don't let the moment feel like it's overwhelming you a little bit
00:47:49I mean, just remember, that song has a lot of big energy behind it
00:47:53And you sing it great, but you gotta get wrapped up in this thing
00:47:56I just felt like you may have got a little nervous in the moment
00:47:59But we love your voice, great job on that
00:48:01Yeah

00:51:21Welcome back
00:51:36When you try your best but you don't succeed

00:51:49When you feel so tired but you can't see
00:51:55Stuck in reverb
00:52:02When tears come streaming down your face

00:52:37And ignite your bones
00:52:44And I will try to fix you

00:53:17Lights will guide you home
00:53:23Lights will guide you home
00:53:23And ignite your bones
00:53:30And I will try to fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential and star quality
00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Thank you so much
00:54:01Great song choice
00:54:03Loved it
00:54:04Thank you
00:54:05What I'm loving most about
00:54:08It's number one in everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane
00:54:15And that was your lane clearly
00:54:17Now what I want you to do on that
00:54:19Is build on it
00:54:21You've got your section
00:54:23But this group right here
00:54:25This 14 is a rough group here, babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand is
00:54:29Carve out your part
00:54:32That's memorable to the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel
00:54:37Thank you
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way to really establishing
00:54:44Like your own sound
00:54:45You have a really great way of taking somebody else's song
00:54:50And I mean, we first heard you singing your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good at taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Carrie
00:55:06Good to see you, buddy
00:55:07And I know you were hanging out with some of the other finalists
00:55:11At the Dodgers game the other night

00:55:12I went to the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game
00:55:14With my boy Jake and Jesse
00:55:15Yes, and they did all right for Dodgers, didn't they?
00:55:17They always do
00:55:18By the way
00:55:20They were over there
00:55:21And they were swaying to your song
00:55:22We saw them

00:58:04I know
00:58:07I know
00:58:13Kendall, I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:23You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself. And I said, let it go. My goodness.
00:58:35It is a testament to what you're doing. I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say
00:58:41it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that. Okay? Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist. And I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like,
00:58:58super-duper famous already.
00:59:00Um, for, actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works. And you're here for this time right now.
00:59:08Um, that was, that was incredible. You are such an artist. You are so professional. And like, I don't know,
00:59:17I'm just in awe watching you.
00:59:19It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid. And we see you, you're not timid
00:59:30after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice.
00:59:38And you just let it all happen and, and just keep doing that. And you, I think you're doing that
00:59:44just because, yeah, you, you, you got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of you.
00:59:49And we just saw that happen.
00:59:51Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:54So I, I've noticed that you like to sing in your, in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are.
01:00:02I mean, we're not going to show the world they're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right. Well, use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10What are you supposed to?
01:00:11Cover Ron's with the dress also.
01:00:13There you go. That's it.
01:00:14What are you, what are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:19It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah, I like to, I'm, I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right, let's go.

01:26:23And joining this Songs of Faith
01:26:27Tom, give them the lights
01:26:29And here we go
01:26:31Lionel, just quickly, how in your view is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something
01:26:38Out of all the classes, this is probably the most diverse
01:26:41When I say that, I mean from every imaginable configuration of genre
01:26:46You all have managed to sparkle us again to the point where we don't know where you're coming from
01:26:52All Martians are in this class
01:26:54All Martians, amazing class, amazing class
01:26:57And Kerry, you've done this before
01:26:59How does the competition shift once we go live on the stage?
01:27:04I mean, there's definitely, there's pressure throughout
01:27:06But it's just a different kind of pressure
01:27:08You are live
01:27:09But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion
01:27:13And show us what they got
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight
01:27:16Luke, how do you choose?
01:27:19I don't know how America chooses
01:27:21You've got to trust your gut as a voter at home
01:27:24And just pick the people that, pick the artists that are on stage
01:27:29Just make you smile, make you laugh, make you cry
01:27:32And I don't know how America's going to do it
01:27:36Well, we have had five ways to vote tonight
01:27:39Tens of millions of votes coming in
01:27:41At a rate we have never seen before
01:27:44Truly unprecedented
01:27:45And to ensure complete accuracy with the numbers
01:27:48I was literally just told
01:27:51We are not going to announce eliminations tonight
01:27:55What?
01:27:57This is the first time it's ever happened
01:27:59Believe me, I've been here every night
