00:00:08Big city, bright lights, this is the place where stars are born, baby.
00:00:15More idols have come through this town than anywhere else in the world.
00:00:19The best singers in the country are here to put on a show.
00:00:26But the thing is, this city has no idea what's about to happen.
00:00:37Hollywood Week has arrived in Music City.
00:00:40And the lights are brighter than ever.
00:00:47With the band behind them, it's time for our idol hopefuls to face the music.
00:00:55Hollywood Week in Nashville, outstanding.
00:00:59Music City is like holy ground.
00:01:00The energy in this city is different.
00:01:02It's super nerve-wracking, but super exciting.
00:01:04Hollywood Week in Music City just feels surreal.
00:01:08They'll have one song, one shot to leave it all on the stage.
00:01:13My life could be changing right now.
00:01:16Buckle up, y'all, because this is American Idol.
00:01:21I've made you to knock me out.
00:01:27One hundred twenty-seven of the nation's most talented singers have graduated to the next step in this already epic
00:01:34season.
00:01:37Hollywood Week, Music City takeover.
00:01:40We just had auditions.
00:01:42Moving right into Hollywood Week.
00:01:44This is the earliest they've ever went right in there with the full band.
00:01:49One shot.
00:01:50Some of them have never played with a band in their lives.
00:01:54Okay, here it goes.
00:01:55Some people can handle that, and some people can't handle that.
00:01:57We're out for blood.
00:01:59Each hopeful will sing for the judges.
00:02:01And more than fifteen hundred eager idol fans.
00:02:04Here we come here.
00:02:06Throughout the day, the judges will stop down.
00:02:08Alright, what do we think?
00:02:09Deliberate and begin making some tough decisions.
00:02:13Let's sink or swim.
00:02:13For most, this is where the dream ends.
00:02:17I'm not sure if that was the right song.
00:02:20Bring it on!
00:02:22I love it!
00:02:27But for the best of the best, the journey will continue.
00:02:31Your dreams are still alive.
00:02:33Into the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:36Where the only thing to do is wait.
00:02:39Still in the race for the top 30.
00:02:41But nothing is final.
00:02:43We got more bloodshed coming.
00:02:45Because the decision that matters the most comes at the end of the round.
00:02:49We're out for blood.
00:02:50We're gonna be looking for that next level that instantly goes from American Idol stage to that Grammy Award winning
00:02:57artist.
00:02:58That's what we're looking for.
00:03:01Hollywood Week Music City Takeover starts right now.
00:03:05Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
00:03:09Say hello to your judges.
00:03:13Let's get this party going.
00:03:17Oh yeah!
00:03:18Coming all the way from Alabama, here's 26-year-old Bryant Thomas!
00:03:35My last audition was pretty cool.
00:03:37Don't look at me.
00:03:38We're not looking.
00:03:40No one had really seen my face before my audition, so it was great to finally be able to step
00:03:47down into the spotlight.
00:03:48Wow.
00:03:49Wow.
00:03:50Everything after that just felt like magical.
00:03:52Hey!
00:03:54So.
00:03:56Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
00:03:58Ah, congratulations!
00:04:02Welcome to my hometown, Mobile, Alabama.
00:04:08I started supporting myself completely off of music with a band of guys.
00:04:14You know, we played three to five shows a week.
00:04:17So I'm used to performing on stage, but never in such a beautiful theater as this or being in front
00:04:24of that giant live band.
00:04:26It's nerve-wracking, but this is my opportunity to really, like, show people who I am.
00:04:33I'm going to be singing Champagne Problems by Taylor Swift for you guys.
00:04:37Oh, wow.
00:04:39Okay.
00:04:40Oh, my God.
00:04:44You booked the night train for a reason
00:04:48So you could sit there in this hurt
00:04:56Bustling crowds of silent sleepers
00:05:00You're not sure which is worth
00:05:05Cause I dropped your hand while dancing
00:05:10Left you out there standing
00:05:13Crest falling on the landing
00:05:16Champagne problems
00:05:18Your mom's drinking in your pocket
00:05:21My picture in your wallet
00:05:24Your heart was glass
00:05:26I dropped it
00:05:27Champagne problems
00:05:31From the Chevy door
00:05:33November flush in your flannel coat
00:05:36This storm was once a madhouse
00:05:38I made a joke
00:05:40Well, it's made for me
00:05:41How evergreen
00:05:43Our group of friends
00:05:44Don't think we'll say that word again
00:05:47Then soon they'll have to know
00:05:49To deck the halls that we once walked through
00:05:52To walk for the money
00:05:54Two for the show
00:05:55I never was ready
00:05:56So I watch you go
00:05:58Sometimes you just don't know the answer
00:06:01Someone's on their knees
00:06:03And ask you
00:06:03Who'd have made such a lovely bride
00:06:06What a shame she stuck in her head
00:06:08They said
00:06:09But she'll find the real thing instead
00:06:11She'll patch up your tapestry
00:06:14That I shred in
00:06:15Hold your hand while dancing
00:06:18Never leave you standing
00:06:21Crest falling on the landing
00:06:25Champagne problems
00:06:32Thank you guys so much
00:06:35Oh yeah
00:06:37Passionate
00:06:37Oh yeah
00:06:39Hi
00:06:39Okay
00:06:40You are a showman
00:06:47I love your vibe
00:06:48Your style
00:06:49I love that you picked that song
00:06:51Because I mean
00:06:52I feel like you're going to keep us on our toes
00:06:54And I love that
00:06:55And you've got a great voice
00:06:56On top of it
00:06:57It's so soulful
00:07:00Very cool
00:07:00Thank you
00:07:02For now
00:07:03Bryant will have to wait
00:07:05To learn his fate in the competition
00:07:07This year
00:07:08The judges will watch groups of performances
00:07:09Back to back
00:07:10Very cool
00:07:11Then they'll deliberate
00:07:12And deliver results
00:07:13All adding up to the biggest cut
00:07:15In Idol history
00:07:17Alright
00:07:18Cue it
00:07:19Did they clean up the glasses?
00:07:20Did they get them?
00:07:21I thought those were truck stop glasses
00:07:24Who's next?
00:07:26Who we got?
00:07:27Who we got?
00:07:29Alright here we go
00:07:31This is a really big moment for me
00:07:33I'm ready to get out there
00:07:34And just do what I gotta do
00:07:36Never in a million years
00:07:37I thought I would be here
00:07:39The audition with the judges
00:07:40Went really good
00:07:42It was such a vibe
00:07:43Oh boy
00:07:44Hi Miss Carol
00:07:45Hi
00:07:45Hi
00:07:46And just having my son
00:07:47On the Idol journey
00:07:48Has been a joy
00:07:52God only knows
00:07:53What to say about you
00:07:55I've been doing music
00:07:56For six years
00:07:58I've had a lot of ups and downs
00:08:00And I was doubting myself
00:08:01But I never gave up
00:08:03That fire was still burning
00:08:04You want it bigger?
00:08:05Yeah I want it bigger
00:08:06Oh
00:08:07I'll make sure we're big there
00:08:08I just want to pour out my heart
00:08:09Oh let's go
00:08:10The song I'm singing today is
00:08:12I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
00:08:14It speaks to me
00:08:15Because the first thing I thought about
00:08:17Is just me and my son
00:08:19So when I sing the song
00:08:20I'm singing to him
00:08:21I think at the very beginning
00:08:23I want you to sing it
00:08:24Like you're singing a lullaby
00:08:26Like you're rocking him to sleep
00:08:29Just really simple
00:08:31I do want to be somebody for my son
00:08:33I want him to know
00:08:35You can do anything you put your mind to do
00:08:37You want to come watch your mom with me?
00:08:39Okay come around this way
00:08:45You sit in my seat
00:08:46Ladies and gentlemen
00:08:47Make some noise for Keela Richardson
00:08:56My name is Keela
00:08:57And I'll be singing
00:08:58I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
00:09:01I want to let my son know that
00:09:03Never give up baby boy
00:09:04I love you
00:09:05This is for you baby
00:09:16When I look into your eyes
00:09:19It's like watching the night's gas
00:09:25Or a beautiful sunrise
00:09:30Well there's so much stay home
00:09:37Even the stars they burn
00:09:43Some even fall to the earth
00:09:48And we got a lot to earn
00:09:54And God knows we're worth it
00:10:00I don't want to be someone
00:10:03Who walks away so easily
00:10:04I'm here to make the difference
00:10:06I can make
00:10:11And in the end
00:10:13You're still my friend
00:10:16Yeah we got a lot at stake
00:10:21I won't give up
00:10:25I won't give up
00:10:27I won't give up
00:10:36I won't give up
00:10:48Even in the skies
00:10:49Even if the sky
00:10:51It make it rub
00:10:53True I'm giving you all
00:10:56All my love
00:10:59I'm still looking up
00:11:04No I won't give up
00:11:30I don't know how you sang with him looking at you like that
00:11:35Listen it's so good to see you here
00:11:37I love your look
00:11:38I love the song
00:11:40You just slayed that
00:11:41And even showed us more of what you are
00:11:44Thank you so much
00:11:47You did great mom
00:11:48I mean
00:11:49Your confidence
00:11:51The way you just sung to the whole audience
00:11:54Really warmed my heart

00:11:57It's for you baby
00:11:58I love you Juju
00:11:59So much
00:12:02Whoever's most likely to get fired is me
00:12:05And he may have just took my job
00:12:06Don't even think about it
00:12:09Great job
00:12:10That was beautiful
00:12:10Thank you guys so much
00:12:16I'm just
00:12:17I'm overwhelmed

00:12:20It was one of the best moments of my life
00:12:22Your mom did really great
00:12:24You wanna go see her?
00:12:26I just hope I do

00:12:29It's for my son

00:12:45Stay tuned as Hollywood Week continues
00:12:47With your viral audition favorites
00:12:50Fighting for a spot in the top 30
00:12:52Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting
00:12:55And it's drama
00:12:56And it's stressful
00:12:57You caused so much excitement
00:12:59He almost rolls his ass off the back of this bad boy
00:13:02A lot of people are going home today
00:13:04I really hope I'm not one of them
00:13:06I gave them my everything
00:13:07She walked out like
00:13:09This is my stage
00:13:10You are a star
00:13:12Get ready for the ride
00:13:14It's gonna be really, really special
00:13:17At least I look hot when I cry
00:13:23Welcome back to American Idol
00:13:25Tonight, our singers anxiously await their turn to hit the stage
00:13:29In hopes of surviving the most brutal cut in Hollywood Week history
00:13:35Knowing only 30 of us are gonna make it through is a super scary feeling
00:13:39I mean, this is crazy
00:13:42It makes my belly hurt
00:13:43I feel like I'm gonna throw up
00:13:44Oh, Lord have mercy
00:13:46I just wanted to come and sit and listen to people
00:13:48But you're the butcher now
00:13:50I know
00:13:50It's terrible
00:13:53It's a war right now
00:13:54But, you know, I've dreamed of this my entire life
00:13:57So getting to the top 30
00:13:59This would change literally everything for me
00:14:02Make some noise for Nibby
00:14:03National!
00:14:05How we do it, baby!
00:14:07Oh, yeah
00:14:09I, yeah
00:14:11I believe
00:14:12Singing a Carrie Underwood song in front of Carrie
00:14:15Was definitely a little nerve-wracking
00:14:16But she gave me, like, really good advice
00:14:18If you start off out of the gate going 100 miles an hour
00:14:22There's nowhere left to go
00:14:23So if the audition was 100 miles per hour
00:14:26What speed will this be?
00:14:28Slow
00:14:28We're gonna take it slow
00:14:29We're gonna be sexy about it
00:14:31We're gonna be sexy
00:14:31Oh, yeah
00:14:32I'm excited
00:14:33I'm ready
00:14:34Let's see it
00:14:35Get with me!
00:14:39Let's take our time tonight
00:14:43Girl
00:14:46Mother's son
00:14:46All the stars are watching
00:14:50Underneath the chandelier
00:14:54We're dancing all alone
00:14:58There's no reason to hide
00:15:02What we're feeling inside
00:15:04Right now
00:15:09So, baby, let's just turn down the light
00:15:13And close the door
00:15:16Oh, I love that dress
00:15:19But you won't need it
00:15:22Anymore
00:15:24No, you won't need it no more
00:15:27Let's just kiss
00:15:29Till we're naked, baby
00:15:31Versace on the floor
00:15:34Come on!
00:15:36Come on!
00:15:59On the floor
00:16:04There you go!
00:16:06Thank you!
00:16:08When you cause a judge so much excitement that he almost rolls his ass off the back of this damn
00:16:15thing right here
00:16:16It is clear that you are doing something entertaining
00:16:21You would just perform it
00:16:23I will tell you, though, song choice is going to be the master of air
00:16:28We know you have a voice in there
00:16:32We know you have a voice in there, okay?
00:16:32So, if there's a next time, I want you to come out and show it off
00:16:36But overall, you did a great job
00:16:41So, Libby now waits for results while the round continues
00:16:46I'm nervous because I'm hearing so many amazing singers
00:16:59This performance is a huge deal
00:17:01I get the chance to show the judges that I'm worth it
00:17:05Like I knew I would
00:17:07You look like a star and you have such a big, big voice
00:17:11But I had trouble picking up a lot of those lyrics
00:17:14Because of the bending and the rounding out and the back phrasing and all that
00:17:19But, you know, we'll see what happens later
00:17:22Okay
00:17:22Thank you
00:17:24I just thought that I had done better than he said
00:17:29But apparently I didn't
00:17:33I'm a little nervous
00:17:34I'm getting a little overwhelmed
00:17:36The judges, they have some really tough decisions to make today
00:17:39But I want to be one of the top 30, like, so bad that I could hit a backflip right
00:17:46now
00:17:47I can't flip, but I'll try
00:17:53I never thought I would make it to Hollywood week
00:17:57But singing has always been my dream
00:18:00And my dad, he just encouraged me to do whatever I put my mind to
00:18:04And he was like, baby, you gonna get it
00:18:06I am missing my dad, wishing that he was here
00:18:13My dad passed away 11 years ago from cancer
00:18:16I was 13 years old
00:18:21I was a daddy's girl
00:18:22I was there every day
00:18:24Every step of the way
00:18:25Take an angel by the wind
00:18:27At the hospital, I fed him
00:18:29I gave him water
00:18:31Gave him his
00:18:32I was there to the very end
00:18:44Dear dad, I've lived so much life since you've been gone
00:18:48And sometimes I wish I could sit with you
00:18:50And tell you all of it
00:18:52I carry you with me
00:18:54In my heart
00:18:56Every step forward
00:18:59I miss you more than words could ever say
00:19:04Love your baby girl
00:19:07I know he's proud
00:19:10With this performance
00:19:13I know he's looking down and shining down on me
00:19:17And when I hit this stage, the heavens will be dancing
00:19:29How did you get here?
00:19:34Nobody's supposed to be here
00:19:39I've tried that love thing for the last time
00:19:46But when I turn around
00:19:49Again, love has knocked me down
00:19:55My heart got broke
00:19:56You know it hurts so bad
00:19:58I'm sad, safe
00:20:01Love wins again
00:20:03So I place my heart under lock and key
00:20:06To take some time and take care of me
00:20:10But I turn around
00:20:13But I turn around
00:20:13And you're standing here
00:20:18Standing here
00:20:20Standing here
00:20:21Oh, yeah
00:20:24No, no, nobody
00:20:27No, no, no, nobody
00:20:31I've tried it over and over
00:20:35But I turn around
00:20:39But I turn around
00:20:41No, no, no, no
00:20:44Nobody's supposed to be here
00:20:47Came along and changed my mind
00:20:51How did you get here?
00:21:12I don't know where you're gonna be in the stars
00:21:15But you are a star
00:21:18Thank you
00:21:21With the first line of singers complete
00:21:24Making it so difficult
00:21:26Where are we putting all these people?
00:21:27It's time for the judges to discuss what they've heard
00:21:30I had her as a yes
00:21:31You think?
00:21:32She had the wrong song
00:21:34That was the wrong everything
00:21:35This year they will first decide
00:21:37If our hopefuls have shown enough potential
00:21:41Make it here to the Golden Room
00:21:42And you're still in the mix
00:21:44For a spot in the top 30
00:21:45Otherwise, it's the end of the road
00:21:48All right
00:21:49You know I'm sad to see this one go
00:21:51But for those who've made it here
00:21:54They can't get too comfortable
00:21:55Because more dramatic cuts
00:21:57Are just around the corner
00:21:59I've always dreamed of being in a position like this
00:22:02So
00:22:04It's so hard having to cut this many, y'all
00:22:14At this stage of the competition
00:22:17We have to cut
00:22:19From 127 down to 30
00:22:24This is not your everyday easy task
00:22:30Would the people I call please step forward
00:22:34Bryant

00:22:42Makaya
00:22:46Front row
00:22:47You are going to the Golden Room
00:22:50Your journey with us continues
00:22:56Back row
00:22:57We're sorry
00:22:58But your journey with American Idol ends now
00:23:01It's like a whole weight
00:23:02That's been lifted off of me
00:23:05I feel so good
00:23:06I'm just really celebrating
00:23:10Going back to serving tables, you know
00:23:12We didn't get what we wanted
00:23:13But it's okay
00:23:14It just wasn't enough, basically
00:23:20Made it through
00:23:21To the Golden Room
00:23:22I have no idea what's going to happen next
00:23:25But I cannot wait
00:23:30Here's 27-year-old Tori McCullough
00:23:34Let the church say amen
00:23:36Amen
00:23:37Amen
00:23:44People, keep on learning
00:23:50While soldiers, I see you over there
00:23:54Keep on worrying
00:23:58Oh girl, keep on turning
00:24:05Cause it won't be too long
00:24:10I'm so glad that you let me try it again
00:24:14It's my last time on earth
00:24:16I've been the whole world of sin
00:24:18I'm so glad that I know more than I do then
00:24:22Gonna keep on shining
00:24:24Till I reach my high ground
00:24:29I'm so glad that you let me try it again
00:24:34It's my last time on earth
00:24:36I've been the whole world of sin
00:24:38I'm so glad that I know more than I do then
00:24:42Gonna keep on shining
00:24:47Till I reach
00:24:55I reach my high ground
00:25:15Wait now, wait now
00:25:19Let the universe say amen
00:25:21Amen
00:25:22You have found some new notes on higher ground
00:25:26Excellent, excellent, excellent
00:25:28Thank you guys so much
00:25:32Fire
00:25:34Up next to perform
00:25:36And hoping for a similar reaction from the judges
00:25:3921-year-old rocker Madison Moon
00:25:42I've been performing since I was very, very little
00:25:45I grew up listening to rock
00:25:48My dad loves hard rock music
00:25:50And I always listen to it with him
00:25:53My dad bought my first guitar
00:25:55And I still use it today
00:25:56Both of my parents are musicians
00:25:58And it's just amazing to have them see me do my thing
00:26:03Coming up next, get up audience for Madison Moon
00:26:09I am very excited to see Carrie again
00:26:11I'm actually doing a song that she did when she was on the show
00:26:15I'm gonna be doing Alone by Heart
00:26:17When I saw Carrie's idol performance of Alone
00:26:20It introduced me to the band Heart
00:26:22This is a very challenging song
00:26:24Especially I take it up all steps
00:26:26I'm doing it a key higher
00:26:28It's kind of insane that I'm going to sing it in front of Carrie
00:26:32So I'm hoping for the best
00:26:41I hear the ticking of the clock
00:26:45I'm lying here
00:26:47I hear the room's pitch dark
00:26:53I wonder where you are tonight
00:26:56No answer on the telephone
00:27:04And the night goes by so very slow
00:27:08Oh, I hope that it won't end all alone
00:27:22Till now, I always got fired
00:27:28I never really got it till I met you
00:27:35And I took me to the moon
00:27:39How do I got you alone?
00:27:45How do I got you alone?
00:27:49Oh,...
00:27:51Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:27:56Oh, oh.
00:28:12You did it.
00:28:15You did it!
00:28:25You are the only person on planet earth who has ever raised the key
00:28:33on that song.
00:28:35All I got to say is dang.
00:28:38Dang.
00:28:42Wow.
00:28:44Oh, my god.
00:28:45I just sang in front of Karen.
00:28:47Karen Underwood again.
00:28:49Raised.
00:28:49No kidding.
00:28:50The freaking key.
00:28:52I didn't know it was possible to do that.
00:28:54Now it's judgment time for Jordan and Madison.
00:29:00No matter what happens, man, that is the best that I have ever done.
00:29:04I got a bloodbath.
00:29:06We're a little more brutal.
00:29:07Cutting them in half and then we got to do another half.
00:29:11Jordan.
00:29:13Madison.
00:29:14Your dream is still alive.
00:29:16Thank you very much.
00:29:24That's crazy.
00:29:26I was not expecting that.
00:29:27Oh, my god.
00:29:32I'm really proud of myself.
00:29:38It's just insane that this is such a huge cut.
00:29:42And for me to be considered to be in the top 30, it means the world.
00:29:45So Madison is the first of our rockers to get to the golden room.
00:29:50And after that, it was time for the male rockers to take the stage.

00:34:16coming all the way from dorado puerto rico
00:34:19roe
00:34:26since my audition i actually flew back to death valley
00:34:30did my eighth hour shift at the desert outfitters bike shop
00:34:35these are the prices for the e-bikes
00:34:37for me it's very important to keep this job because my housing situation is tied to my job
00:34:45it's for adjusting if it's too small or too big risking my living situation for this opportunity is scary
00:34:59today i'm going to be singing california by the great chapel road this song california talks
00:35:05it's about moving from your hometown to pursue your dream and not wanting to let your family down
00:35:11this is basically the anthem of my life the risk that i'm taking right now to pursue my music dreams
00:35:19when i step on the stage i'm going to be thinking about that plane flight that i took from puerto
00:35:25rico to california
00:35:28my brother dropping me off giving me a hug telling me you can do this go and make us proud
00:35:40i stretch myself across four states new lands west coast where my dreams lay
00:35:55i trade amber clay roads for the sea foam and the endless sun rays
00:36:09because i was never told that i wasn't gonna get the things i want the most
00:36:16but people always say if it hasn't happened yet then maybe you should go
00:36:22come get me out of california and all these are brown i miss the seasons in missouri my dying town
00:36:38thought i'd be cool in california i'd make you proud
00:36:44to think i almost got it going
00:36:48i think i almost had it going
00:37:02thank me
00:37:11but
00:37:13But I made you cry
00:37:19Oh
00:37:21Oh
00:37:29Thank you so much
00:37:33You were holding that note at the end, I said okay, okay, that was fabulous
00:37:37But let me tell you something, you have a natural stage present that you can't teach
00:37:41I think you did a great job
00:37:46I'm not fully satisfied with my performance
00:37:50I kind of messed up on the lyrics
00:37:52I feel like I could have done much better
00:37:55If I'm being honest
00:37:56I think she missed a note that she tripped on the sequence of the lyrics
00:38:02That's my favorite song, like I know it completely by heart
00:38:05It was just the nerves
00:38:07Maybe it got too excited
00:38:08It is done
00:38:12You're okay
00:38:16Welcome back to American Idol
00:38:18Where 25-year-old stay-at-home mom Hannah Harper is taking the stage
00:38:23Hannah!
00:38:24I loved her, didn't I?
00:38:26How you guys doing tonight?
00:38:30Man, I'm Hannah Harper from Southeast Missouri
00:38:32And I want to be the next American Idol because I want to be the forerunners for mamas out there
00:38:37who can still raise babies and pursue their dreams
00:38:44I didn't see any other dream outside of just raising a house full of kids
00:38:49My youngest is one and shortly after he was born I had postpartum depression and so I was sitting on
00:38:54my couch wallowing
00:38:56And my son kept coming up to me and said mom open my cheese
00:38:58I'm like do you leave me alone with the dadgum cheese
00:39:01And I finally opened his cheese and when I did I realized that God had put me in that place
00:39:04And that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have
00:39:08When I'm overwhelmed and touched out
00:39:12They come climbing up on the couch
00:39:15Saying mama can you open my string cheese
00:39:20I was excited that Carrie had an emotional connection to the song because she's in the same position
00:39:24She's a boy mom
00:39:25Well that's about the most relatable song I think I've ever heard
00:39:28And what nobody knew was how her original song would quickly become one of the most viewed clips in idol
00:39:35history
00:39:35The string cheese song
00:39:39So relatable
00:39:40Touching hundreds of millions of people across the world
00:39:43Are you kidding me? A song called string cheese has me sobbing
00:39:48Can you open my string cheese
00:39:51Sweetest song I've ever heard in my whole entire life
00:39:53And I smile because I know
00:39:55It was so encouraging to me so thank you Hannah
00:39:58Because I really needed it
00:40:01Is who I'm meant to be
00:40:04I'm okay
00:40:07You're my string cheese
00:40:09You're really sweet mama
00:40:12You're one that I'm gonna think about when we leave here like
00:40:15I wonder what song she's gonna sing next
00:40:17And I feel like I'm gonna be just rooting for you
00:40:30I had to leave my life in Dallas
00:40:34That town will always be you
00:40:43Every crowd on in every corner
00:40:46And every face I see you
00:40:51Woo
00:40:52Yay!
00:40:54Oh, but I can't turn this thing around
00:40:57And nothing short of breaking down is gonna get me off this road that I'm on
00:41:05But I won't win anywhere as fast as I can
00:41:11I'm a little past a little rock, further down the line
00:41:17Too soon to know what's up ahead, too late to change my mind
00:41:22Gotta keep my heart out of this, with both hands on the wheel
00:41:29Learning more with every mile, just how living feels
00:41:34It's a lonely stretch of black top, out into the blue
00:41:39Don't know where I'll go, or what I'll do
00:41:45I'm a little past a little rock, but a long ways from over you
00:41:56I'm a little past a little rock, but a long ways from over you
00:42:15Thank you guys so much
00:42:16She had one or two little hiccups, but her tone is amazing
00:42:21Oh Hannah, you know you, you're one of my favorites in auditions
00:42:25Leigh-Anne Womack's not an easy person to sing
00:42:27It's like you listen to it and it's so nice
00:42:29But you don't realize how intricate
00:42:31The things that she does with her voice
00:42:33And I feel like you just nailed that
00:42:35Thank you so much
00:42:37You nailed it
00:42:41Man I thought I had it
00:42:42You must have felt great about that performance
00:42:44I was very excited about the performance
00:42:45I just wish I wouldn't have messed up the words
00:42:47You did?
00:42:48I did
00:42:49Did we even notice?
00:42:50I don't think anybody noticed
00:42:51I didn't notice
00:42:52I noticed, man I was beating myself up
00:42:55She jumbled lyrics too and got through it
00:42:57And she handled it and didn't even bump
00:42:59Yeah
00:43:01I'm real worried right now
00:43:03I got excited, I forgot the words
00:43:05Didn't come in on the right spot
00:43:07But I sure hope I did enough to make it to the next round
00:43:13With another group of performances in the books
00:43:15All right, okay
00:43:17All right, what do we think?
00:43:18Our hopefuls wait to see if they've done enough
00:43:21To survive the judge's first round of cuts
00:43:24We got so many to go through
00:43:26That's exactly what I was saying
00:43:27Not her?
00:43:28I don't know, what do you think?
00:43:31There's a lot at stake right now
00:43:33I'm very eager to show the world that
00:43:35Even a girl from Puerto Rico can do anything
00:43:39I think this guy's time to go
00:43:41I think he just didn't rise to the occasion
00:43:43It makes me sad though
00:43:45Because I feel like it's in there
00:43:46I hate this part
00:43:47Oh, Lord have mercy
00:43:52Hang in there, kid
00:43:52Hang in there
00:43:57Ruel
00:44:01Trace
00:44:04Hannah
00:44:08You are still in the running
00:44:10To become the next American Idol
00:44:13Uh-oh
00:44:14I'm sorry that your journey
00:44:16Just ends right now
00:44:19Those are happy tears
00:44:21Yes
00:44:22I did it tears
00:44:24Yes
00:44:24You wouldn't even understand
00:44:26I didn't have an idea
00:44:28I'm getting the picture
00:44:31I was scared
00:44:32I was too fun
00:44:33I didn't think I was going to get it through
00:44:37What's with that wind?
00:44:39It's a winner's breath
00:44:40I don't know, man
00:44:41Winner's breath
00:44:42Oh, God, dude
00:44:43All right
00:44:44So much fun
00:44:45So our hopefuls can celebrate
00:44:47For now
00:44:48But they'll have to wait with the others
00:44:50Until the end of the round
00:44:51When the judges make their final decision
00:44:53On who's made it
00:44:54Into the top 30
00:44:55I'm scared
00:44:56Everyone's so crazy talented
00:44:58Some of us are going home
00:45:00I would like it not to be me
00:45:02Being here in the golden room
00:45:04And knowing that
00:45:04So many people are going to get cut
00:45:05It's kind of scary
00:45:06But I think the pressure is good
00:45:08And it will help me get through this stage
00:45:14All right
00:45:15Who's next?
00:45:17This is a tough board, man
00:45:20We'll see what they do
00:45:23It's a lot more than three people
00:45:25Sitting at a table
00:45:26A lot more
00:45:27Yeah
00:45:31He was struggling with them
00:45:33I don't know why
00:45:34She's got the voice
00:45:36It's the nerves
00:45:38Probably
00:45:38We had people in auditions
00:45:40That were confident
00:45:41Spitfires
00:45:44And we gave them some feedback
00:45:47It was a little shaky to start
00:45:50And it's like they fret
00:45:51And worry
00:45:52And overthink
00:45:53Everything that we told them
00:45:57I think the nerves might have compromised
00:46:00Just how good of a singer you are a little bit
00:46:02Did we scare him?
00:46:03I think we did
00:46:05I really hope I did enough
00:46:07To make it
00:46:08Oh, sorry
00:46:09Can you take the pressure?
00:46:11That's the business
00:46:15My knees are shaking, dude
00:46:16What's up, bro?
00:46:18Your knees are shaking?
00:46:21My audition the first time
00:46:22I had my hands in my pockets
00:46:24Take your hands out your pocket
00:46:26And look the folks straight in the face
00:46:29Yeah, I've got to make sure I keep those out
00:46:30Don't put them back here, though
00:46:31There you go
00:46:32Just keep them up there
00:46:33Are you going to hold a microphone?
00:46:35Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:46:35That takes care of one
00:46:36Yeah, there you go
00:46:39I need to show them more of my charisma, I guess, on stage
00:46:47And I hope they'll be able to see me move around a little bit more
00:46:50And be more of an entertainer
00:46:51All right, hold up
00:46:53I'm not too confident
00:46:54You don't have to do a crazy run
00:46:56I enjoy insurance
00:46:58I enjoy helping families out
00:47:01But at the end of the day, music's my first passion
00:47:04And that's why I'm here
00:47:09Something's got a hold of me lately
00:47:12No, I don't know myself anymore
00:47:18Feels like the walls are all closing in
00:47:21The devil's knocking at my door
00:47:25Out of my mind
00:47:28How many times did I tell you
00:47:31No good at being alone

00:49:28oh my gosh that right there was that was two times better than I was expecting
00:49:37unassuming I mean walked out here and knocked us right out shocker even your eyes are watering
00:49:43yeah I know I almost started crying I feel like I had to get off stage for America to see
00:49:47the crowd
00:49:47over I'm so proud of you oh man this is getting hard I feel like we've had a lot of
00:49:54good ones
00:49:54I need I need people to start messing up
00:50:03welcome back to American Idol so far after 52 performances just 19 hopefuls have moved on
00:50:12to the golden room still in consideration for the top 30 they're at least cutting half of us
00:50:18and like I ain't gonna sit here and lie I'm a little scared once all 127 have sung
00:50:24those who remain here will have to survive one more major cut at the end of the round I've heard
00:50:31people sing and there's a lot of very very very talented people here this is the biggest stage
00:50:37that I've ever performed on in my life first time I performed on a stage was just at my piano
00:50:45recital
00:50:46I was probably about eight years old I thought I had just won a Grammy after I sang that song
00:50:56I don't think my younger self would really believe it that I would be performing on this massive stage my
00:51:02first audition I did guitar but this week showing a little bit a different side of myself I'm gonna have
00:51:08to up my game if I want to get to that 30
00:51:39I'm gonna have to up my computer
00:51:40There's torture on my mind
00:51:50Other on
00:51:54Reach out to me
00:51:57Other I smile tenderly
00:52:05Still have peaceful dreams I see
00:52:10The road leads back to you
00:52:17I said Georgia
00:52:22Georgia
00:52:27No peace, no peace at night
00:52:33Just an old sweet song
00:52:37Keeps Georgia on my mind
00:52:45I said just an old sweet song
00:52:54Keeps Georgia on my mind
00:53:09I mean 17 years old coming out here doing Georgia
00:53:13You know I'm from Georgia so you're already trying to make me
00:53:17Just sucking up a little bit
00:53:18Playing the room already but uh
00:53:20Thank you
00:53:21You did great, yeah
00:53:23I've heard the rest of the singers in my group
00:53:26It's actually really intimidating
00:53:29Especially because rehearsal has been stressful
00:53:31I could not hear myself at all
00:53:35What's that?
00:53:36I couldn't hear anything
00:53:37You walked past the wedges
00:53:39But you were not off pitch
00:53:41Your notes were on
00:53:43But I know myself and I've never sang that horrible
00:53:48I really want to show the judges something out of my comfort zone
00:53:51And that's what they asked for
00:53:54You were hitting some high notes in there
00:53:57Yeah
00:53:57But it would be great if you could put some oomph in there
00:54:00Oh you should see me with a band
00:54:03Maybe I took it too far
00:54:05And I'm doing too hard of a song
00:54:07I just fell
00:54:08I kind of stumbled a little bit
00:54:09I just wanted to be good enough for this
00:54:11But it's just starting to feel like I
00:54:13I can't do it
00:54:19But right now
00:54:20I'm just trying to remember my Aunt Brittany
00:54:23I think Brittany has always been a very big mentor to me
00:54:29To believe in myself
00:54:31To have the confidence
00:54:32You are ready
00:54:33You're ready for this
00:54:34You were born for this
00:54:35Born for this
00:54:37And that just helps
00:54:39Just remind myself that
00:54:42I am good enough to just be here at this part
00:54:44I really don't want to screw it up
00:54:49At least I look hot when I cry
00:55:01Your love is like a tile away
00:55:05Spinning over my head
00:55:08You're drowning me in your promises
00:55:11Better left unsaid
00:55:14You're the third kind of singer
00:55:17To release my inner fantasy
00:55:21The events of a winner

01:12:49yeah
01:12:50that song typically auditions very well
01:12:54it didn't compliment it
01:12:55it was a little quick
01:12:56mm-hmm
01:12:57that song
01:12:58it's supposed to be one that you milk every second of
01:13:01yeah
01:13:02i just had to hone in on what i knew i could do
01:13:05and i feel like i did that right there so
01:13:09we got a lot of cuts to make
01:13:11stay tuned for more results in music city
01:13:24the thing i love about american idol is its ability to take
01:13:30normal everyday people people that have not been anywhere in or around the music industry
01:13:37we take those people and give them the opportunity of a lifetime
01:13:41being here in hollywood week and music city is nerve-wracking
01:13:48i have never performed with a big band or in front of anyone except for in church
01:13:54this does feel like a big opportunity stuff like this just doesn't happen to people like me
01:14:08it's not very uh wealthy it's very small very poverty like town
01:14:18i did move around a lot growing up we've probably moved about 10 times moving schools a lot and it
01:14:24really felt like i fit in anywhere i didn't really have a lot of friends i know finances weren't
01:14:29always like there for us it's really hard for me to talk about it
01:14:38music was the constant and all of that craziness i always felt limited like i don't have the resources
01:14:46to reach this goal of mine when it comes to music because i've always wanted to sing
01:14:50i would lay down at night and i would pray and hope that something would come about and now i'm
01:15:00here
01:15:07i'm going to be singing girls just want to have fun bye cindy loper

01:18:35Knee issues, so I kind of tend to stay in the same spot.
01:18:39How's your knee?
01:18:40Not too bad.
01:18:40I just had two surgeries on these guys in the last year.
01:18:47I've got two lower leg realignments.
01:18:50The doctors have explained that all your body's resources are going into healing the leg,
01:18:56and so you could be susceptible to get sick.
01:19:00That sparked something in my head, like, oh my gosh, wash your hands constantly.
01:19:04Don't touch anybody.
01:19:05Don't let them get near you.
01:19:07No hugs.
01:19:08Now I'm in panic mode, like, I'm going to die now.
01:19:16These intrusive thoughts pop into my head that are not real.
01:19:19They kind of develop a contamination, OCD, and it's really debilitating.
01:19:25I had started going to therapy.
01:19:27I've made huge strides to getting a lot better.
01:19:35Hollywood Week, that's good for me.
01:19:37I can focus on putting my energy into something that is real.
01:19:42This performance is going to be the biggest one of my entire life.
01:19:45I'm confident going into it.
01:19:47Hello, hello, hello.
01:19:49I'm doing I'm Not the Only One by Sam Smith.
01:20:03You and me could make a vow
01:20:07I'm not the only one for better or for better or for worse.
01:20:14I can't believe you let me down.
01:20:19But the booze and the way it hurts.
01:20:23You say I'm not the only one for better or for better or for better or for better or for
01:20:35better or for better.
01:20:35But when you call me, baby, I know I'm not the only one.
01:20:47I have loved you for many years.
01:20:52Baby, I am just not enough.
01:20:58You made me realize my desire by lying and tearing us up.
01:21:07You say, I'm not the only one for man, baby, but you don't think I know what you've done.
01:21:20But will you hurt me, baby?
01:21:26I know I'm not the only one.
01:21:30And I know, and I know, and I know
01:21:35that I know I'm not the only one.
01:22:03Brayden, man, can you make it look hard next time?
01:22:07Just laid it in there.
01:22:09We knew you were special in your audition.
01:22:12We knew it. We felt it.
01:22:14We're here to support you.
01:22:16We're here to lift you up.
01:22:18We want you to have fun.
01:22:19And man, you picked the perfect song.
01:22:23Perfect song. Perfect.
01:22:25Thank you. Thank you.
01:22:27And lean in, be you, be yourself, and get ready for the ride.
01:22:31It's going to be really, really special.
01:22:38I don't know what to do, man.
01:22:39I'm just like, ah, golly.
01:22:42He might win.
01:22:43I'm thankful for the opportunity, no matter how it turns out,
01:22:46but it seems like it's going to do well.
01:22:48Hang tight right here, folks.
01:22:49Our judges are going to do deliberations,
01:22:51and then we're going to know the results.
01:22:54There's so much at stake.
01:22:56And going into results,
01:22:57there's just so many talented musicians here.
01:22:59Like, I want to be in the top 30 so bad.
01:23:01Pass that old board down here so I can get my attitude right.
01:23:06It probably means more to me than most people here.
01:23:09I've always pulled through any situation I've ever been in.
01:23:13I don't know. This one's different.
01:23:18This is a very heavy class.
01:23:21And all of you have done amazing, amazing work.
01:23:27This is probably the most unprecedented time we've ever had
01:23:31where we had to just cut talent.
01:23:35Having said that,
01:23:37will the following people step forward?
01:23:39Jake.
01:23:43Brianna.
01:23:52Brayden.
01:23:55This is something we are charged with doing, so...
01:24:00Front row.
01:24:04You should be very proud of how far you've come.
01:24:09But for now, your journey...
01:24:15Next Monday...
01:24:16You're in the toughest class we have ever had.
01:24:19It's the conclusion of Hollywood Week Music City Takeover.
01:24:23You're in more Mondays right now.
01:24:24Some of us are going home.
01:24:26Where we find out who survives.
01:24:29I was trying to kick you out of the room because I'm so jealous of you.
01:24:32If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
01:24:35And gets in to the top 30.
01:24:37Am I freaking out about it?
01:24:38Yeah.
01:24:38I feel you guys are going to boo me.
01:24:41Bring it on!
01:24:42I love it!
01:24:43I did everything I could.
01:24:45I'm so sorry.
01:24:46I would love nothing more than to be a part of those 30 singers that make it.
01:24:49Let's just hope.
01:24:50Hope and pray.
01:24:52We got more bloodshed coming.
01:24:53We have some sing-offs.
