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.
00:10:51You are enough
00:10:54Everybody say
00:10:57You are enough
00:11:00I will be cautious
00:11:03In every circumstance
00:11:07Shire
00:11:09You are enough
00:11:15If He dresses in lilies
00:11:19With beauty and splendor
00:11:22How much more will He clothe you?
00:11:25How much more will He clothe you?
00:11:29And if He watches over

00:11:41And we change our lives

00:12:02Shire
00:12:04You are enough
00:12:24I will be content
00:12:25So here's the situation
00:12:30You have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:41You 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. Loved it.
00:12:53What 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
00:13:03and just the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:09And 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
00:13:24and just watching your growth from there to now and watching you come out here
00:13:28and 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.
00:13:44Little 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?
00:13:55Just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here and grateful to God just to be on this platform
00:13:59and to share my gift with the 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 AmericanIDol.com to vote.
00:14:10And for all the full-run men 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 Finley.
00:14:37I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt free 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.
00:14:55I set out on a narrow way many years ago
00:15:03Hoping 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
00:15:17I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
00:15:25And every 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
00:15:42Pointing me on my way
00:15:46Into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know is true
00:15:56That God blessed the broken road
00:16:01That led me straight to you
00:16:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:10yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:11yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:15yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:15yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:18yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:29God bless the broken road
00:16:34God bless the broken road
00:16:38God bless the broken road
00:16:41That led me straight to you
00:16:50Thank 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
00:17:16I 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
00:17:23But when people say you made it your own
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own
00:17:27I love the arrangement
00:17:29I 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, Carrie
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
00:17:46And dig more and more
00:17:48Because we're getting into the serious part of the competition
00:17:50I totally echo what Carrie just said
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig
00:17:56And so glad to see you in this spot
00:17:58Thank you, Luke
00:17:59Great job on that
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys
00:18:02Honestly, 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
00:18:19All 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
00:18:27In her season, Carrie Underwood
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Definitely 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
00:18:34It did it head on
00:18:35Very 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
00:18:40God bless the broken road
00:18:42That led me straight to you
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song
00:18:46That everybody can feel
00:18:48And God leads us to the right people in life
00:18:49Whether that's friends or family
00:18:51And I just love that message that the song brings
00:18:54Yeah
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote

00:29:07Oh, boy, yeah
00:29:16Good job!
00:29:18Mwah!
00:29:21Woo!
00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done
00:29:31You see, automatically, I never thought I would have to share all night long
00:29:36Now people stop me on the street and go, I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're Mr. 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. Thank you
00:29:56I love that
00:29:58I feel like you're so serious
00:30:00Like all the time and 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 and you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like
00:30:10I feel like we're watching you kind of just get into a more comfortable, fun space
00:30:16Like I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:20Because 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
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:31Yeah
00:30:33Have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow and expand and try new things
00:30:39And 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
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back
00:30:50So, you got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but, just keep growing
00:30:54Keep growing
00:30:55Thank you, thank you
00:30:58It was actually 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 its best
00:31:06So, 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 the real you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit
00:31:15Well, and to be honest
00:31:15I really don't have any sense
00:31:17For real
00:31:19So, I can get really
00:31:19I can have a lot of fun
00:31:21So, yes, I'm gonna open up a lot more

00:34:57I love this song, I love that you chose this song, I love Lynyrd Skynyrd, but I heard you singing
00:35:02some Shinedown notes in there, nice.
00:35:08I thought my chair went, I thought my chair went.

00:36:23I'm so proud of you.
00:36:27I went up to the mountain
00:36:35Because you asked me to
00:36:40Up over the clouds
00:36:46To where the sky was blue
00:36:52Sometimes I lay down
00:36:57No more can I do
00:37:02But then I go on again
00:37:07Because you asked me to
00:37:13Some days I look down
00:37:17Some days I look down
00:37:17Afraid
00:37:19Afraid
00:37:20Afraid
00:37:20I will fall
00:37:24And though the sun shines
00:37:27I see nothing
00:37:30Nothing
00:37:31Nothing

00:38:30I mean, you were pro from every moment, the start, how you work the room, you milk the song.

00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Just you and your guitar
00:54:02Great song choice
00:54:04Loved it
00:54:04Thank you, Luke
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
00:54:27Here, babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand
00:54:29Is carve out your part
00:54:32That's memorable
00:54:33To the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel

00:54:43To really establishing
00:54:44Like your own sound
00:54:45You have a really great way
00:54:48Of taking somebody else's song
00:54:50And I mean
00:54:51We first heard you singing your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of
00:54:54Hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good
00:54:56At taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like
00:55:00The other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing

00:58:13Kendall, I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:24You are so contained.
00:58:25I said, for God's sakes, let it out.
00:58:28Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself.
00:58:31And I said, let it go.
00:58:32My goodness.
00:58:35It is a testament to what you're doing.
00:58:38I want you to understand now.
00:58:40The competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:43If you get it through, bring me more of that.
00:58:47Okay?
00:58:48Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist.
00:58:52And I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like, super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works.
00:59:05And you're here for this time right now.
00:59:09That was incredible.
00:59:11You are such an artist.
00:59:13You are so professional.
00:59:15And, 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.
00:59:28And we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice.
00:59:39And you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you.
00:59:49And we just saw that happen.
00:59:51Wow.
00:59:53Kendall, everyone.
00:59:54So I've noticed that you like to sing in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are...
01:00:03I mean, we're not going to show the world.
01:00:04They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right.
01:00:06Well, 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.
01:00:14That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel?
01:00:16Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:19It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah.
01:00:19I like to...
01:00:20I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:23You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right, let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.

01:11:16Yes.
01:11:17All right.
01:11:18What about that coloring book?
01:11:21Well, it's a coloring book, so basically I have two, but if you, like...
01:11:26He's got a primetime TV show.
01:11:28He's got two books.
01:11:29The guy's doing it all.
01:11:30Congratulations.
01:11:32Now, she grew up traveling the country with her family worship band.
01:11:35Now she's trying to win the country over on the Idol stage.
01:11:38It's Hannah Harper.
01:11:39Good job, buddy.
01:11:42I never thought a song about string cheese would lead to all this.
01:11:47Well, that's about the most relatable song you think I've ever heard.
01:11:51It means a lot to me to represent other moms.
01:11:58There's a place where mercy reigns and never dies.
01:12:11There's a place where streams of grace flow deep in your eyes.
01:12:24Where all the love I've ever found comes like a flood, comes flowing down.
01:12:38At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life.
01:12:45I'm in all of you.
01:12:48I'm in all of you.
01:12:52I'm in all of you.
01:12:53Where your love red and red and my sin washed white.
01:12:59I owe all to you.
01:13:02I owe all to you.
01:13:05Oh, here, my hope is found.
01:13:10Here, on holy ground.
01:13:13Here, I bow down.
01:13:16Here, arms open wide.
01:13:19Here, saves my life.
01:13:23Here, I bow down.
01:13:26Here, I bow down.
01:13:33At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life.
01:13:41I'm in all of you.
01:13:44I'm in all of you, Jesus.
01:14:04All right.
01:14:05That was with such a purity that it was fantastic.
01:14:10Listen, let me tell you something.
01:14:11Right now, it's going to boil down to just uniqueness of style because the talent is across
01:14:17the board, that was so spectacular in terms of your delivery, your voice.
01:14:21Just understand, going forward, give it more of everything you have.
01:14:26All right?
01:14:27Love that performance.
01:14:32I mean, from the beginning, you've been one of my absolute favorites.
01:14:36I loved your version of that.
01:14:39I could feel your heart in it, and I was right there with you.
01:14:42Thank you so much.
01:14:47It was just perfection to me.
01:14:51It roped me in.
01:14:53You, everything about that, just, I totally bought into it.
01:14:57Heart, mind, and soul.
01:15:00I mean, just, way to go.
01:15:02Way to go.
01:15:05Congratulations.
01:15:06Good job.
01:15:08You close your shows with that song, don't you?
01:15:10With the family.
01:15:11What was special about the performance of that song here tonight?
01:15:14Your family is here as well.
01:15:15Yeah, an opportunity to give an invitation on this platform is incredible.

01:15:59Losing my father to leukemia and my mom fighting multiple sclerosis pushes me to chase my dream.

01:16:09I love everything about you.

01:16:42So I'm asking for the courage to make a change.
01:16:47By Your grace, please take my change and make me see you.
01:17:15I've got a long way to go.
01:17:19Oh, Lord, I know there's not a step I'm going to take when you're not with me.
01:17:28I've got a long way to go.
01:17:32Oh, Lord, I know there's not a step I'm going to take when you're not with me.
01:17:41You always with me.
01:17:45By Your grace, I have hope.
01:17:50I have hope.
01:17:52You've already paid.
01:17:55Every debt I owe you.
01:17:58Please take my change and make me see you.
01:18:05By Your grace, I've been set free.

01:26:36All right,
01:26:37so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes,
01:26:39this is probably
01:26:40the most diverse.
01:26:41When I say that,
01:26:42I mean from every
01:26:43imaginable configuration
01:26:45of genre.
01:26:47You all have managed
01:26:48to sparkle us again
01:26:50to the point

01:26:51where you're coming from.

01:26:58you've done this before.
01:26:59How does the competition
01:27:01shift once we go live
01:27:03on the stage?
01:27:04I mean,
01:27:04there's definitely,
01:27:05there's pressure throughout,
01:27:06but it's just a different
01:27:08kind of pressure.
01:27:09You are live.
01:27:09But then it also gives people
01:27:11the chance to rise
01:27:12to the occasion
01:27:13and show us what they got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt
01:27:16that tonight.
