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 stage.
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.
00:10:36It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:44And I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:49Hey, you are enough.
00:10:55Hey, everybody say, you are enough.
00:11:00I will be content in every circumstance, Gyra, you are enough.
00:11:12You are enough.
00:11:16If he dresses in the lilies with beauty and splendor, how much more will he clothe you?
00:11:25How much more will he clothe you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more will he love you?
00:11:38How much more will he love you?
00:11:41And we say, you are enough.
00:11:45You are enough for me.
00:11:48Whether that's human, that's a need.
00:11:50Freedom, that's a need.
00:11:52Freedom, that's a need.
00:12:27So, here's the situation.
00:12:30You have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:40You are walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence, and your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Love you.
00:12:51Love you.
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 being grateful and just the beautiful
00:13:05things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:07Just amazing.
00:13:08And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:14Oh, 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.
00:13:31And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just making this your moment.
00:13:35And 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.
00:13:48And 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 group with
00:14:00the world.
00:14:02If you love Keela, you can vote for her right now on social media or via text.
00:14:07You can also head to American Idol.com to vote.
00:14:10If all the four-run men are right there, voting closes in the final dimension break.
00:14:14Keela Richardson, everyone.
00:14:16Thank you very much and good luck.
00:14:21FYI, the performances from all your top 14 will be available on all streaming platforms tomorrow.
00:14:27So if you love what you hear, check them out.
00:14:30Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finlay.
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 got 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 pointed straight to you.
00:15:26And every long lost dream led me to where you are.
00:15:35Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars.
00:15:42Pointing me on my way into your loving arms.
00:15:50This much I know is true.
00:15:56That God blessed the broken road.
00:16:01Let me be straight to you.
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:09Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:13And I'm still rolling home into my brother's arms.
00:16:24This much I know is true.
00:16:30God bless the broken road.
00:16:34God bless the broken road.
00:16:38God bless the broken road.
00:16:42That 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.
00:17:15I mean, that song is 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, I 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, and you did it really fantastically.
00:17:34Thank you so much, Carrie.
00:17:36Thank 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 to and dig more and more because we're getting into the serious part of the
00:17:50competition.
00:17:50I love the I totally echo what Carrie just said.
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig.
00:17:56And so glad to see you in this spot.
00:17:58Great.
00:17:59Great.
00:18:00Great 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 and a sincerity about your voice that just comes right through first
00:18:13note.
00:18:14Just remember, like Luke now, remember, 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, Carrie 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 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.

00:20:25Well, in order for me to give a blessing, I do have to say a prayer.

00:29:38I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're a mister all night long
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story and then move the crowd
00:29:49And 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 like all the time and then kind of as soon as
00:30:02the music gets going
00:30:04And then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel
00:30:05And then the music stops again and you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like, I feel like we're watching you kind of just get into a more comfortable, fun
00:30:15space
00:30:16Like, I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:19Because this would be the chance for a lot of people to do like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:25I think that's going to differentiate you tonight a little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:33Have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow and expand and 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, this got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by, I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back
00:30:49So, you got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but, just keep growing, keep growing
00:30:55Thank you, thank you
00:30:58It was actually a, like a, a high five with a knee up
00:31:02Kind of thing you did right there
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move
00:31:04Flexibility at his 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, that'll do it
00:31:12But what's surreal you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit
00:31:14Well, to be honest, I really don't have any sense
00:31:17For real
00:31:18So, I can get really, I can have a lot of fun
00:31:20So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more
00:31:22There you go

00:36:02Now with Patty Griffin's iconic up to the mountain, here is Ray.
00:36:11I am an American Idol super fan.
00:36:14I can't believe we have not seen you in this room until now.
00:36:18If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:36:23I'm so proud of you.
00:36:27I went to the mountain because you asked me to.
00:36:40Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue.
00:36:52Sometimes I lay down, no more can I do.
00:37:02But then I go on again, because you asked me to.
00:37:12Some days I look down, afraid, afraid I will fall.
00:37:25And though the sun shines, I see nothing, nothing at all.
00:37:34With our jobs.
00:37:36Oh, that's all.
00:37:39When I hear your screams, what's my?
00:37:47Coming, then go.
00:37:51Oh, telling me softly,
00:38:01You'll love me so
00:38:26I mean, that was just totally pro.
00:38:30I mean, you were pro from every moment, the start, how you work the room,
00:38:35you milked the song, it was, well, I mean, I don't know what you and filming,
00:38:40did y'all, what y'all drank today, but can I have some, please?
00:38:43There you go.
00:38:45Let me, let me just say that was shut everything down, take the prize home.
00:38:51That was amazing.
00:38:52That was amazing.
00:38:54I mean, honestly, that was from beginning to end a perfect performance.
00:38:59I loved it.
00:39:00Thank you so much.
00:39:02Yeah, I'm getting my squats in tonight.
00:39:03I'm standing up, I'm sitting down, I'm standing up, I'm sitting down.

00:44:56That was so soulful
00:44:58If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here
00:45:01I think you're a racehorse, man
00:45:03This is my dream
00:45:12Yeah, I don't always feel it
00:45:17Yeah, but that's when I need 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, my heart fell
00:45:53Been through hell
00:45:55Hallelujah
00:45:59And I bring my storm, toast, 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
00:46:13Faith for whatever I'm feeling and facing
00:46:17So I'll bring my heart, my heart fell
00:46:22It is well
00:46:23Hallelujah
00:46:25Oh
00:46:28Oh
00:46:29Oh

00:46:53I'm feeling facing, so I'll bring my home, home, home there.
00:46:59It is well, hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:47:21Rayden, you are here because you have an incredible voice, like hands down, you showed it off.
00:47:28I felt like as the song progressed, we just felt that building and felt you going for more stuff.
00:47:34And I mean, you're here because you should be, you deserve to be.
00:47:38It was great.
00:47:42Yeah, just if you get through, I hope you do, just don't let the moment feel like it's overwhelming you
00:47:48a little bit.
00:47:49I mean, just remember that song has a lot of big energy behind it and you sing it great, but
00:47:54you got to get wrapped up in this thing.
00:47:56I just felt like you may have got a little nervous in the moment, but we love your voice.
00:48:00Great job on that.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:03All I was going to say to you is don't let it freak you out.

00:54:02Great song choice.
00:54:04Loved it.
00:54:04Thank you, Luke.
00:54:05What I'm loving most about It's it's number one in everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane and that was your lane clearly
00:54:17Now what I want you to do on that is build on it
00:54:21You've got your section, but this group right here this 14 is a rough group here babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand is carve out your part that's memorable to the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir. Thank you, Lionel. Thank you
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one.
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way to really establishing like your own sound you have
00:54:46a really great way of taking somebody else's song and I mean we first heard you sing in your own
00:54:53stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of here and you sing some covers, but you're really good at taking those songs and
00:54:58putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artists, which is just really refreshing. Thank you so much care
00:55:06Good to see you buddy

00:55:15Yes, and they did all right the Dodgers didn't they?
00:55:17They always do

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
00:58:38I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone, I'm just saying
00:58:43If 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

00:59:20Thank you
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 just keep doing that
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of

01:01:50It's Jordan McCullough
01:01:51Yeah
01:01:52I'm a performer in church
01:01:54And I didn't know that any of this was a possibility
01:01:56Outside of the choir stand
01:01:58Let the universe say amen
01:02:01You're a powerhouse singer
01:02:03You keep surprising me
01:02:05I've tried many things
01:02:06But I feel like I finally have found
01:02:08What I'm looking for
01:02:13I can only imagine
01:02:16What it'd be like
01:02:19When I walk
01:02:23By your side
01:02:26I can only imagine
01:02:31I can only imagine
01:02:34When that day comes
01:02:38And I find myself
01:02:42Standing in the sun
01:02:45I can only imagine
01:02:47When all I will do
01:02:51Is forever
01:02:53Forever worship you
01:02:59Surrounded by your glory
01:03:02What will my heart feel?
01:03:05Will I dance for you, Jesus?
01:03:09Or in awe of you be still
01:03:11Will I stand in your presence?
01:03:15To my knees
01:03:16Will I fall?
01:03:18Will I sing?
01:03:20Will I sing?
01:03:21Will I be able to speak to you, Jesus?
01:03:28Will I be able to speak to you, Jesus?
01:03:42Please, will I be able to speak to you, Jesus?
01:03:46Will I be able to speak to you, Jesus?
01:03:51I can only imagine
01:03:56I only imagine
01:03:58I can only imagine
01:04:00I can only imagine
01:04:19Praise God! Praise God!
01:04:28Thank you. That's all I have to say. Thank you.
01:04:32Thank you. God bless you.
01:04:36Every time we see you, you have the ability to bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:43And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:47And that's just a craft. It's an art that you have.
01:04:53And that was another notch up the ladder.
01:04:56Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:05:00I'll make it very short.
01:05:02Will the congregation please say amen?
01:05:06Amen. Amen.
01:05:12This is your lane. This is what you do.
01:05:14That's it. Hallelujah.
01:05:16As a worship director.
01:05:17Every single Sunday, right?
01:05:18Right. This feels like church to me.
01:05:20This is like, yeah.
01:05:21I mean, the only thing different is like maybe Ronnie here on his steady camera.
01:05:26Other than that, it's like being at Zeal Church, isn't it?
01:05:28It's cool. Yeah, I like that.
01:05:29Yeah, well, keep looking. That's how you get the votes.
