00:05:20With his choice in 2024 inductees
00:05:24Corner, let's go
00:05:29My performance last week did not go very well
00:05:32Don't be safe
00:05:33I know it feels good to be safe
00:05:35But don't be safe
00:05:36I've never performed like ever in my life until the show
00:05:39So I have a lot of questions
00:05:41You got this far, you must be doing something right
00:05:43Yeah, well, I don't know
00:05:43I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner
00:05:46You're as cold as ice
00:05:48It's a really hard song
00:05:50That's good, you're challenging yourself
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site
00:05:55My boss, he always plays like rock hits
00:05:57Chris is a great guy, very cool voice
00:06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:05Someday you'll pay
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that
00:06:10Make it like a
00:06:11That's good
00:06:12You're gonna pay
00:06:13Yeah
00:06:13Plus if you save it for that other time
00:06:15It's really good
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody
00:06:18This is like, this is really unique
00:06:20So, uh, how are we sitting with the key?
00:06:23Uh, are we sure we don't want to go down in half?
00:06:25We could try it
00:06:27Someday you'll pay
00:06:30There you go
00:06:30That made all the difference
00:06:32Thank you
00:06:32There's a lot of pressure
00:06:33The live shows
00:06:34There's millions of people watching
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Chris's last performance
00:06:38Wasn't up to where he wanted it to be
00:06:39So, this one's really important
00:06:41Cold as ice
00:06:42He's gotta bring it
00:06:43Thank you

00:09:45Thank you
00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front
00:09:49You kind of kept it down
00:09:50Kind of your style
00:09:51And then you got back to what the song originally is
00:09:55And you brought the energy
00:09:56And you just gave us a lot
00:09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you
00:09:59Did you have something blowing on your hair?
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans
00:10:04Yeah, something like that
00:10:05The J-Lo fans
00:10:06There you go
00:10:07You know, you got the hair

00:13:10You think you're the best
00:13:11That we can find in America

00:13:42Next Monday
00:13:44Now, here's Pat and Neil
00:13:46Giving their expert advice
00:13:47On Adonis summer classes
00:13:48By Ray
00:13:49Take a look
00:13:54My mom is the biggest Pat Benatar
00:13:57And Neil Giraldo fan
00:13:59My mom was a singer
00:14:02She sang Pat Benatar
00:14:06Hey mom
00:14:07Hi mom
00:14:08Yeah
00:14:09Stop, don't cry
00:14:11Don't cry
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom
00:14:13She's doing great
00:14:15Oh my gosh
00:14:16Really meant a lot
00:14:18To me and to her
00:14:20I love you mommy
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
00:14:25I am singing MacArthur Park
00:14:26By Donna Summer
00:14:27I saw that Carrie did MacArthur Park
00:14:31On her season of American Idol
00:14:33Like this is my sign
00:14:35To do the song
00:14:37So this week
00:14:38I really have to bring it
00:14:40Last week
00:14:41I was actually in the bottom two
00:14:43And Lionel Richie saved me
00:14:45My answer is Ray
00:14:46I definitely feel the pressure
00:14:48I am so grateful
00:14:49To sing on the stage again
00:14:51So I got to do it justice
00:14:53Again
00:14:56One suggestion
00:14:57Maybe
00:14:58Is very powerful, right?
00:15:00Is there a way to do something
00:15:01Where you're very powerful
00:15:02And then do something
00:15:03Where it's very quiet
00:15:04So it gets really soulful
00:15:06Yeah, like at the very end
00:15:07So I'm like
00:15:08Oh my gosh
00:15:10If you hold that last note
00:15:11A little longer
00:15:12And just let it fade away
00:15:13Maybe move the mic away
00:15:15Oh my gosh
00:15:18You know what?
00:15:19No one can do what you can do
00:15:21So you just play with it
00:15:23Enjoy it
00:15:23And we'll get you out of that bottom
00:15:25Yes!
00:15:25You have it in there
00:15:26You will find it
00:15:27And bring it today
00:15:28Thank you guys
00:15:28Yes, you're welcome
00:15:35Spring was never waiting
00:15:38For a steer
00:15:40It ran one step ahead
00:15:44As we followed in the dance
00:15:48The Carpenter's Park is melting
00:15:52In the dark
00:15:54All the sweet green icing
00:15:57Blowing down
00:16:00Someone left the cake
00:16:02Out in the rain
00:16:04I don't think that I can take it
00:16:10Cause it took so long to bake it
00:16:13And I'll never have that recipe again
00:16:19Oh no
00:16:28I've become the yellow contrast
00:16:32Swoaming like a man
00:16:36On the ground
00:16:38On the ground beneath your knees
00:16:42The Carpenter's Park is melting
00:16:45In the dark
00:16:47All the sweet green icing
00:16:50Blowing down
00:16:53Someone left the cake
00:16:56Out in the rain
00:16:59I don't think that I can take it
00:17:04I don't think that I can take it
00:17:04Cause it took so long to bake it
00:17:07And I'll never have that recipe again
00:17:19Oh no
00:17:26No
00:17:29Never again
00:17:51I love the drama
00:17:53It was just dramatic
00:17:55In all the right places
00:17:56And the dress
00:17:57And getting down
00:17:58You were telling a story
00:18:00I still don't know
00:18:01What that song means
00:18:03But you did a great job
00:18:05And you clocked me
00:18:08From my performance
00:18:10All them years ago
00:18:11So good job
00:18:12Thank you so much
00:18:16I feel so much better now
00:18:17Cause you performed it
00:18:18You don't know what it means
00:18:19I don't know what it means
00:18:20But it was great
00:18:22So I think a lot of my songs
00:18:24People don't know what they mean
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out
00:18:27But the bottom line
00:18:29Is your whole presentation
00:18:30This whole
00:18:31This whole season
00:18:33Has just been
00:18:33Great vocals
00:18:35We saw you
00:18:36Almost kind of get emotional
00:18:38You're really pouring
00:18:39It all into your performances
00:18:40And we see that
00:18:41And we're glad you're here
00:18:43And America
00:18:44Make sure you vote
00:18:44And great job
00:18:45Yeah
00:18:46Yeah
00:18:49Just
00:18:50Just
00:18:51Just for the record
00:18:52Just for the record
00:18:53You're not supposed to know
00:18:55What it means
00:18:55It just goes
00:18:56Yeah
00:18:56Yeah it's a hit record
00:18:57It's a hit record
00:18:58By the way
00:18:59I love
00:18:59The fact that we're doing
00:19:01These songs
00:19:01Because these are classic hits
00:19:03And you are making it classic
00:19:05By turning these songs
00:19:06Into your song
00:19:08And that's what makes it special
00:19:09You're not afraid
00:19:11You're not afraid
00:19:12To put your stamp
00:19:13On that hit record
00:19:17Way to go Ray
00:19:19I always wondered
00:19:21Why the cake
00:19:21Was in the rain
00:19:23Why was the cake
00:19:24Out in the rain
00:19:25Couldn't take it
00:19:26Too long to bake it
00:19:27I'll never have that recipe again
00:19:30Carrie
00:19:31When you
00:19:31Watch that performance
00:19:33What do you remember
00:19:34About that night
00:19:35When you performed it
00:19:36Back in 2005
00:19:38I think
00:19:39I might have been told
00:19:41At the end
00:19:42I look like
00:19:42I look like
00:19:44I was from a dishwasher
00:19:46Powder commercial
00:19:47What?
00:19:48I think I can guess
00:19:49We're nice to you guys
00:19:50What?
00:19:50I can guess
00:19:52I think so
00:19:53Maybe it wasn't that one
00:19:55It might have been
00:19:55A blue dress I was wearing
00:19:56I don't know
00:19:57It was something like that
00:19:59So tonight
00:20:00You wanted to come back
00:20:00And have a great one
00:20:01How did you change
00:20:02Your approach this week?
00:20:03I honestly
00:20:04Just worked so hard
00:20:06On my mental health
00:20:07This week
00:20:07And just made sure
00:20:08I was so present
00:20:09In this performance
00:20:10And put my soul
00:20:11Into it

00:20:33From the Rock and Roll
00:20:34Hall of Fame
00:20:34Class of 1989
00:20:36Here's some Stevie Wonder
00:20:38Coming from
00:20:39Brayden Rumpfelt
00:20:44So what are you singing today?
00:20:46Superstition
00:20:46What made you decide
00:20:47To do this one?
00:20:48My brother texted me
00:20:49Yeah nobody wants
00:20:50To hear a slow song again
00:20:51Just go ahead
00:20:52And do something upbeat
00:20:54Like superstition
00:20:55So we kind of like
00:20:56Contradict each other
00:20:57But we're best friends
00:20:58We haven't even
00:20:59Had a fist fight
00:20:59Since like high school
00:21:02Oh there is superstition
00:21:05Are you going to
00:21:05Handheld
00:21:06Are you going to say
00:21:06What do you say?
00:21:08I would get out
00:21:09I would be
00:21:10You know
00:21:10Just playing
00:21:11Yeah
00:21:12If you're happy
00:21:13And you're really
00:21:13Trying to get through
00:21:14Get those arms up
00:21:16People are going to be
00:21:20Out there clapping
00:21:21Good good
00:21:22Hopefully on two and four
00:21:24Not one or three
00:21:26They do that
00:21:26I'll tell you
00:21:27That's why you should
00:21:27Never look out in the crowd
00:21:28Yeah it's like looking
00:21:29On the front road
00:21:30At a funeral
00:21:30If you don't want to cry
00:21:32That's what I was doing
00:21:33Before this by the way
00:21:35I was like the wedding
00:21:36More of a funeral singer
00:21:38I love this kid
00:21:39Bray was a hoot
00:21:40He was a hoot
00:21:41I'm going to adopt him
00:21:41I don't know about the twin
00:21:43We've been married for 44 years
00:21:45It works out
00:21:45A aggravation
00:21:46I understand
00:21:47Pat and Neil
00:21:48Really just felt like
00:21:49I had met them before
00:21:50Or something
00:21:51Oh yeah we had a good time
00:21:53We had a lot of fun
00:21:54I feel like we had
00:21:54Too much fun
00:21:55You guys are great
00:21:56Really fun time
00:21:57Brayton I don't have any doubt
00:21:59That he will deliver
00:22:01A truly great performance
00:22:09Very superstitious
00:22:14Riding's on the wall
00:22:19Very superstitious
00:22:23Led us
00:22:24Led us back to fall
00:22:27A 13 month old baby
00:22:32Poked the looking glass
00:22:37Seven years of bad luck
00:22:42Your good things in the past
00:22:46When you believe in things
00:22:50That you don't understand
00:22:52Then you suffer
00:22:56Superstition ain't the way
00:23:00Oh when there is superstition
00:23:05Oh wash your face and hands
00:23:10And rid me of the problem
00:23:15And do all that you can
00:23:20Keep me in a day to read
00:23:23Or keep me going strong
00:23:27Or keep me going strong
00:23:29And you don't want to stand with me
00:23:34Or sign in the song
00:23:39When you believe in things
00:23:42That you don't understand
00:23:44And you suffer
00:23:47Superstition ain't the way
00:23:50Superstition ain't the way
00:23:52Oh na na na
00:23:56Yeah
00:23:58When you believe in things
00:24:02That you don't understand
00:24:06Then you suffer
00:24:12Superstition ain't the way

00:24:54Is way to put some barbecue sauce
00:24:58On the career
00:24:59You know, every once in a while
00:25:01I just have to tell people
00:25:02It's all about the barbecue sauce
00:25:04It's called the vibe, man
00:25:05And the more you do this

00:26:30Now from the Rock and Roll
00:26:31Hall of Fame
00:26:32The class of 2000
00:26:33For a timeless track
00:26:34By Jackson Brown
00:26:35Courtesy of Brooks
00:26:43Last week's performance
00:26:44I wasn't extremely happy about
00:26:46I felt like the back half
00:26:48You were kind of uncomfortable
00:26:49I got so nervous
00:26:51And anxious
00:26:51Just do what you do
00:26:53Because you got it
00:26:54Your voice is so incredible
00:26:56Thank you
00:26:56When people believe in me
00:26:58It helps me believe more in myself
00:27:00Brooks
00:27:01Coming into this week
00:27:02Definitely more confident
00:27:04How are you?
00:27:04Nice to see you
00:27:05I think this is a good song for me
00:27:07To kind of express
00:27:08Some of the feelings that I have
00:27:09Being vulnerable in front of people
00:27:11And kind of just letting loose
00:27:12What are you singing today?
00:27:13These Days by Jackson Brown
00:27:15I was a shy kid
00:27:16And I grew up trying to be independent
00:27:18Just kind of staying in my own lane
00:27:20And that's what it means to me
00:27:22Don't do that much talking these days
00:27:26Yeah, you close your eyes
00:27:27What do you got going on
00:27:28When you're doing that?
00:27:30I see shapes and colors
00:27:32When I close my eyes
00:27:33Depending on the mood of the song
00:27:36It's kind of hard to explain
00:27:38Because I'm colorblind
00:27:39But when I close my eyes
00:27:41And sing
00:27:42I see the music
00:27:43Rather than hear it
00:27:44If I feel that it's like happy
00:27:46It's usually brighter
00:27:47And the shapes are like bolder
00:27:51If I were to hear something really sad
00:27:54It would be darker
00:27:56You're tapping into some
00:27:58Really some spiritual stuff going on
00:27:59My man, I'm telling you
00:28:00The blessing that the audience
00:28:02Is going to get from hearing him sing that song
00:28:04That's power
00:28:05He's such a sweet soul
00:28:07I just think that what he is
00:28:08And what he has
00:28:09Is just something really special
00:28:10Well done
00:28:11Thank you
00:28:12Thank you
00:28:45These days I seem to think a lot
00:28:48About the things that I forgot to do
00:28:53For you
00:28:57And all the times I had the chance to
00:29:08Oh, I had a lover
00:29:14It's so hard to risk another
00:29:17These days
00:29:22These days
00:29:27Now if I seem to be afraid
00:29:29To live the life
00:29:31That I've made in song
00:29:38Oh, it's just that I've been losing
00:29:43For so long
00:29:50Oh, I keep on moving
00:29:56Things are bound to be improving
00:29:59These days
00:30:01These days
00:30:27All right
00:30:27I'm just
00:30:28I'm just going to tell it to you
00:30:30Like it is
00:30:30God has given you
00:30:34Your blessing
00:30:35Which is your voice
00:30:36It is one of the greatest
00:30:38Unique sounds
00:30:40That you can ever ask for
00:30:42And
00:30:43You're wearing it well
00:30:45I'm telling you
00:30:45I love what you just said
00:30:46Thank you so much
00:30:49I didn't want the song to end
00:30:51I feel like this was a complete
00:30:54Opposite from last week
00:30:56You just seemed so in the moment
00:30:59So comfortable
00:31:00You looked like you just belonged
00:31:01Exactly where you're at
00:31:03It was
00:31:04Perfection
00:31:05Yeah
00:31:05Thank you so much
00:31:09Yeah
00:31:09I mean

00:36:47We love them
00:36:48Look at them all
00:36:52How could you not love them all
00:36:55So, My Grandma and Grandpa Rock
00:36:58Is a book you've got out, right?
00:37:00Yeah
00:37:01Tell me about it
00:37:01We have grandbabies now
00:37:02I can't believe it
00:37:03I know that
00:37:04We have grandbabies
00:37:05And they're trying to figure out
00:37:06What we really do
00:37:08Besides take them to Target
00:37:09What's the answer?
00:37:10What do you really do?
00:37:11Well, we don't know
00:37:14And you're going out on tour
00:37:15With Brian Adams, Pat?
00:37:16Yes, we're going out this summer
00:37:17Again with Brian Adams
00:37:23Here's Pat and Neil
00:37:25Leading the way
00:37:26With Daniel Stallworth
00:37:27Let's take a look
00:37:29You're great
00:37:30Hello, Daniel
00:37:31How are you doing?
00:37:32Good to see you guys
00:37:33Doing well
00:37:34This round was definitely
00:37:37The hardest time I've had
00:37:39Choosing a song
00:37:40I'll be performing
00:37:41Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on
00:37:45To what we've got
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this
00:37:49This is my very first time
00:37:51Performing a rock song
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the dots
00:37:56I forgot the word
00:37:57I can't believe this is happening right now
00:38:00I feel like I made a few mistakes in there
00:38:02Living on a Prayer
00:38:09What's that high note?
00:38:10What is that note?
00:38:12Are you worried about that?
00:38:13No, that's what I want to know
00:38:14Maybe so, yes
00:38:15Okay, so if you are
00:38:16What I've got to do
00:38:17Is super, really high thing
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this
00:38:21Try going like this
00:38:24Because when you go up
00:38:26You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power

00:44:53She's ready to bring the heat.
00:44:55She's ready to bring the thunder.
00:44:56She's ready to bring the wonder.
00:44:58It's Keira Richardson.
00:45:05Talk to us about this last performance.
00:45:08At the end of the judges' song contest, I looked up and saw Drew,
00:45:11and it made me really emotional.
00:45:13The next person through is G-Log.
00:45:19It's been a tough week, but I didn't think I was going to make it through it.
00:45:23I made it through.
00:45:24The emotional release, that means you gave it everything.
00:45:27That's what I did.
00:45:28And it's exactly what you got to do with Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.
00:45:31Here I am, a sign sealed, delivered on your arms, yeah.
00:45:35I would love to see you sing that song to your boy.
00:45:40Oh, my gosh.
00:45:41I mean, I could really feel that.
00:45:43I would love to be singing that to my two grown daughters.
00:45:46You know what I mean?
00:45:47Yes, yes.
00:45:47Like, here I am, baby.
00:45:50So I do the living, I'm your dear.
00:45:53Yeah.
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:54Yeah, because that's it.
00:45:55She ran through it, and she did a great job, but it was, it was like Stevie Wonder's version.
00:46:00So, they go, you got to twist it up a little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if they could do an intro singing verse as a ballad, slow.
00:46:08Like, in other words, second verse.
00:46:11Seen a lot of things in this whole world.
00:46:15I think that was a great decision.
00:46:17When I said that, I said, oh, I see why y'all got a lot of grannies.
00:46:31Like a fool, I wouldn't stay too long.
00:46:36Oh, now I'm wondering if your love's too strong.
00:46:41Ooh, baby.
00:46:43Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:46:51Yeah, any time I went and said goodbye, now I'm back and I'm not ashamed to cry.
00:46:59Ooh, baby.
00:47:00Yeah, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:47:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:07Say, say, here I am, baby, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:47:14Yeah, oh, here I am, baby, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:47:24I've done a lot of foolish things that I really didn't mean.
00:47:28Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:35Seen a lot of things in this whole world.
00:47:39But when I touch them, they, they mean nothing, girl.
00:47:43Ooh, baby.
00:47:45Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:47:49Yeah, yeah.
00:47:50Come on, pop your hand.
00:47:52Ooh, baby, set my soul on fire.
00:47:56Ooh, that's why you know you're mine.
00:47:58Oh, nigga, tiny, baby.
00:48:00Ooh, baby.
00:48:02Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:48:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:09Here I am, baby.

00:48:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:25Oh, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, how you are.
00:48:35I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours.
00:48:40I'm yours.
00:48:41Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:48:43I'm yours.
00:49:21I'm speechless, unbelievable, haven't ever seen you go to that level, never seen you
00:49:27take it to that level, way to go there.
00:49:29After last week, after you doubted yourself and come back and do that, what a showing.
00:49:35Thank you, Luke.
00:49:37Let, let, let the congregation say amen.
00:49:43Amen.
00:49:47Luke squeezed my hands so hard.
00:49:50You squeezed my hands so hard because you were so excited.
00:49:54That was absolutely amazing.
00:49:56I mean, I think it should be Rock Hall show every single week.
00:50:02I agree.
00:50:02Because you guys are just bringing it.
00:50:04Unbelievable.
00:50:05Thank you guys so much.

00:52:36You're one of those guys, too.
00:52:38I'm so blessed.
00:52:39I'm blessed.
00:52:40Now with another rock kick by an icon from the class of 1994, Elton John.
00:52:46Lucas Leon.
00:52:46Take a look.
00:52:49This is the most exciting thing I've ever done.
00:52:52Well, it's not that much stuff that you've done already.
00:52:55And you're only 17?
00:52:5718.
00:52:5718.
00:52:58No, we're in the fourth quarter.
00:52:59I'm just telling you right now.
00:53:00Fourth quarter.
00:53:00We're 70s in the fourth quarter.
00:53:02It's okay.
00:53:03It's always good to know where you're at.
00:53:05So Lucas is a young dude, man.
00:53:06I'm always impressed that they're out there doing it.
00:53:17So why did you choose Benny and the Jets?
00:53:20I'm a country-ish artist, I'd like to say.
00:53:22And I've done some pretty safe picks.
00:53:25But this round, I just kind of want to loosen up a little bit and do something nobody really saw
00:53:31coming.
00:53:33That's great.
00:53:34Fantastic.
00:53:35I would have never expected that rasp to come out of you.
00:53:37The intro of this song, could you just kind of like maybe like some kind of just.
00:53:45More activity up high.
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone, even though it is horrifyingly scary, it is so important to do.
00:53:54And if you are able to manage it, it really gets you so far.
00:54:02The thing that I'm most nervous about for this performance, that's better, is, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it
00:54:09up and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table this week, I'm wondering how much is too much.
00:54:14Work on it.
00:54:14See if it comes to you.
00:54:15Yeah, we're getting there.
00:54:16Yeah, you'll get there.
00:54:18Surprising.
00:54:28Hey, kids.
00:54:30Shake it loose together.
00:54:31The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather.
00:54:35We'll kill the fatty calf tonight, so stick around.
00:54:41You're gonna hear the electric music's all the walls of sound.
00:54:48Yeah, Kenny and Ronnie have you seen to him, yeah.
00:54:52Oh, but the soul's pissed out.
00:54:54But we can put the baby in the chest.
00:54:58Oh, mother weird and the wonderful.
00:55:02Oh, man.
00:55:03She's a wreck, yeah.
00:55:05She's got an electric food.
00:55:07A morning suit.
00:55:09You know, already in a magazine.
00:55:12Now it's no longer.
00:55:15Penny and the chest.
00:55:19Oh, oh, oh.
00:55:22Penny and the chest.
00:55:25Oh, oh, oh.
00:55:29Oh, Kenny and Ronnie have you seen him, yeah.
00:55:33Oh, but the subspace now.
00:55:36B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-Banny and the chest.
00:55:40Oh, but the weird and the wonderful.
00:55:43Oh, man.
00:55:44You see the weather can.
00:55:46She's got an electric food.
00:55:48A morning suit.
00:55:50You know, already in a magazine.
00:55:53Now, ba-ba-ba-b-b-b-b-b-banny and the chest.
00:55:58Oh, no, no, no, no, Benny and the Jets
00:56:06Benny, Benny and the Jets
00:56:22Thank you, thank you
00:56:25One of my favorite songs, and I'm telling you,
00:56:31you waited right to the end to put your magic on it.
00:56:36I'm telling you, when I say this, take the chances.
00:56:38You are the musician of life.
00:56:40Let the vocals go.
00:56:42Let the vocals go.
00:56:43Let them go.
00:56:44I thought it was a really good song choice,
00:56:46and I feel like you are so entertaining behind the piano,
00:56:50which is hard when you're kind of tethered to one place
00:56:53behind a big instrument, but you were entertaining still,
00:56:57and that was great.
00:56:58You did great.
00:56:59Thank you so much.
00:57:02I smiled the whole time.
00:57:05You have this charisma thing that you can't go by anywhere in a store,
00:57:10anywhere.
00:57:11You just make me happy.
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements, and, man,
00:57:17you just keep growing and keep surprising us.
00:57:20Unbelievable.
00:57:21Thank you so much.
00:57:22Nice work.
00:57:23Tonight.
00:57:24Did you rehearse those facialisms?
00:57:27They kind of just happen.
00:57:29I don't really know what they think.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:31He just makes people happy when you watch him, right?
00:57:34If Lucas is your favorite, you want him in that top nine,
00:57:37vote for him right now.
00:57:39You can do so online or via social media.
00:57:42Text voting is available to subscribers of all carriers.
00:57:46Lucas Leon, America.
00:57:48Thank you so much.
00:57:52Next, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo help Kendall land on the perfect song for the moment.
00:57:58Check it out.
00:57:59There you go.
00:58:02Last week's performance, definitely very far from my favorite I've ever done in my life.
00:58:07I was just in my head, and for a second I forgot to just be Kendall.
00:58:12At this stage in the competition, there's just not room for mediocre performances.
00:58:16I have to step it up.
00:58:17What are you going to sing?
00:58:18I'm trying to decide between two songs right now.
00:58:20I would be either singing Message in a Bottle by the Police or Peace of My Heart by James Joplin.
00:58:26Take it!
00:58:27I loved your voice.
00:58:29I loved your whole demeanor.
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart, it's a classic rock song.
00:58:34Everybody knows it, and they want to sing along.
00:58:40That's fun.
00:58:41That's awesome.
00:58:42That's great.
00:58:43That's great.
00:58:43This is like, I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone, but kind of.
00:58:47Does it sound like it?
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens with the other song.
00:58:50Yeah, let's hear it in the other one.
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one where she could be more of like a performing art-ist.
00:59:03It's more authentic to me in what I might write.
00:59:06You've got to pick what's going to make you the most comfortable.
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10Truly.
00:59:11I am a little bit in my head about this week.
00:59:14Song choice is really important.
00:59:15Okay, let me just say this.
00:59:16Yeah, please help.
00:59:17If you want to make a splash, do Message in a Bottle.
00:59:21No way.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:26Let's find out which song it is.
00:59:30Kendall takes the stage live right after this.
00:59:32Hang tight.
00:59:45You are live on Idol.
00:59:47Before the break, we're on the edge of our seats wondering which song Kendall chose for
00:59:52the major moment here.
00:59:53We should go with Pat and Neil's suggestion and perform The Police, or is it going to be
00:59:58Janis Joplin?
01:00:01Let's find out right now.
01:00:03America, give it up for Kendall.
01:00:14Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
01:00:25Yeah, didn't I give you everything a woman possibly could?
01:00:31Honey, I did.
01:00:33He's trying to tell myself that I've had enough.
01:00:39I'm going to show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
01:00:45I want you to come on, come on, come on.
01:00:51Take it.
01:00:53Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
01:00:57Break it.
01:00:59Break another little piece of my heart now, darling.
01:01:10You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
01:01:17Each time I tell myself I can't stand the pain, that's when you hold me in your arms and I
01:01:26sing
01:01:26it once again.
01:01:53You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
01:01:58You know you got it, if it makes you feel good.
01:02:16How do you feel?
01:02:18It's been a weird week on The Voice, so you know what?
01:02:23We just did that, y'all.
01:02:25Kendall.
01:02:28You have such an incredible instrument, or you wouldn't be standing here on this stage.
01:02:32I just kind of felt like you gave up on yourself a little bit towards the end.
01:02:35It started out energetic, and then it just kind of deflated.
01:02:38The more you went, you started turning around more.
01:02:40And I was like, where's she going?
01:02:42What's she doing?
01:02:43But it was more about your attitude toward it.
01:02:47Your voice is amazing.
01:02:49Yeah, way to battle through.
01:02:51Thanks.
01:02:52If you're having a rough, we all have our rough voice weeks, and way to battle through.
01:02:58And I do believe you picked the perfect song.
01:03:01That embodies what you are as an artist and kind of a free spirit.
01:03:04So way to get through it.
01:03:06Yeah, congrats.
01:03:07Good job.
01:03:07I totally agree with Luke in terms of you picked the right song.
01:03:12And believe me, it happens to all of us.
01:03:14Our brain gets involved with our throat, and then it gets all cattywampers.
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:18You did a great job.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:20Don't let that get in your way.
01:03:25Let's hear it for Kindle, everyone.
01:03:30I did.
01:03:31I did.
01:03:31I can't even circle that.
01:03:33Yeah, you don't have to.
01:03:33Don't speak.
01:03:34I'll just make signs for you.
01:03:35Thank you for fighting through that one tonight.
01:03:38Let's try and get you that vote, Kindle.
01:03:40You ready?
01:03:40Let's go, guys.
01:03:41If Kindle stole your heart, vote for it right now, online or via text.
01:03:46You can also vote on the American Idol social pages on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
01:03:51Your live results are coming at the end of the show.
01:03:55So vote, vote, vote, Kindle, everyone.
01:03:57Go better.
01:04:04He is still riding high off last week's triumph.
01:04:07Can he deliver again with some platinum, a foreigner?
01:04:11It's Philman Lee.
01:04:14Philman had the most surprising arrangement.
01:04:18He said it was his big breakout moment.
01:04:20It was.
01:04:20It really felt like it.
01:04:21In the room.
01:04:22It was.
01:04:23That was incredible and electric.
01:04:26Nice to meet you.
01:04:27Going into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week, I definitely feel like my confidence has gotten
01:04:30a lot better.
01:04:31So, insurance and rock and roll.
01:04:34Insurance was just paying the bills.
01:04:36Hey, I was a bank teller.
01:04:37Oh, wow.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:38Yeah, I worked on the docs.
01:04:39Hey, you got to do what you got to do.
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-Blooded by Foreigner.
01:04:47I think that a lot of times, especially young people, they think that the higher they can
01:04:52get it, that delivers some kind of power and it doesn't.
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice.
01:04:58Yeah, it's true.
01:04:58The rasp is great.
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step because it just sounds like when you're
01:05:03singing, you're not really comfortable getting that note.
01:05:06So, you're backing off the mic.
01:05:14Way better.
01:05:15And just bringing it down enough gives them enough confidence and they're able to do
01:05:19it.
01:05:19Let me talk to you about singing this song.
01:05:21Okay.
01:05:21So, you are singing this to a female.
01:05:24Like, you better be saying like, come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
01:05:29You know what I mean?
01:05:29Oh, man.
01:05:30What would I do if I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over here.
01:05:33Really?
01:05:33Oh, man.
01:05:34I started something.
01:05:59I'm hot-blooded, hot-blooded.
01:06:04Ooh.
01:06:07You don't have to read my mind.
01:06:11Know what I have in mind.
01:06:15Honey, you ought to know.
01:06:20Yeah, you move so far.
01:06:24Let me lay it on the line.
01:06:28Hey, I want to know.
01:06:30What you're doing.
01:06:31What you're doing.
01:06:32I have to show.
01:06:36Now, it's up to you.
01:06:38We can make a steeper rendezvous.
01:06:44Just me and you.
01:06:46I'll show you nothing like you never knew.
01:06:51I'm hot-blooded.
01:06:56I'm hot-blooded.
01:07:11I'm hot-blooded.
01:07:20How bloody, how bloody, how bloody, how bloody, how bloody.
01:07:41Filming, wow, wow, wow.
01:07:45Now, on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night, those are the kind of songs I'm thinking we're going to
01:07:49hear.
01:07:50Great song choice.
01:07:51Listen, you know, just next time, too, just don't, don't be scared to just be in the character of everything.
01:07:57I think your inner monitor was kind of messing with you a little bit, and it was throwing you up.
01:08:01Slid off a little bit.
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there.
01:08:04Get through that and get back to, like, embodying what that song is.
01:08:07I even wanted to see your hair get messed up a little bit.
01:08:10I think I got too much product for this day to fall loose.
01:08:13I totally agree.
01:08:14Listen, there's singing, and then there's performing.
01:08:18You follow me?
01:08:19And so what we were waiting for was right after you mess with that ear, then you started looking at
01:08:23us,
01:08:24which means you're looking at America.
01:08:26They're falling in love with you.
01:08:27You've got to look at us.
01:08:28That's the thing you want them to do.
01:08:32Such a great song for your voice.
01:08:35Like, nailed it vocally.
01:08:36I still want to see some more swagger coming.
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:41I got you.
01:08:41I got you.
01:08:42It's in there.
01:08:43Bring it.
01:08:43More, more, more.
01:08:44I got you.
01:08:45More, more.
01:08:45Bring all that confidence.
01:08:47Come in for a second, Tony.
01:08:49Luke.
01:08:49Luke.
01:08:50Mess up his hair a little bit.
01:08:51He's going to mess up his hair.
01:08:51He's going to get it messed up.
01:08:53Get in there.
01:08:55The jacket's holding him back.
01:08:56We've got to shake the jacket into a mess up.
01:08:59There you go.
01:08:59There you go.
01:09:00Come on, now.
01:09:07Philman wants to be in your top nine for Disney night next week.
01:09:11Help him get there by voting right now online via text and across social.
01:09:16You've got to power, America.
01:09:18Use it.
01:09:19There is a lot of product in there.
01:09:20Yes.
01:09:20I recognize that myself.
01:09:22Philman Lee, everyone.
01:09:24Good job.
01:09:30After this, another song from the soundtrack of our lives.
01:09:34Hannah Harper is taking on Fleetwood Mac's Landslide.
01:09:38Don't move.
01:09:49Look at this.
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol.
01:09:52Big hello right now to Danielle Fischel and Idol's OG rocker, Constantine Maroulos.
01:09:58Good to see you, brother.
01:10:00Good to see you again.
01:10:01Good to see you, brother.
01:10:02You can catch Sam breaking down all of tonight's rock and roll action on the American Idol official podcast this
01:10:07Wednesday on Hulu and Disney+.
01:10:09And wherever you get your podcasts, now here's the Meaning of the Minds with Pat, Neal, and Hannah.
01:10:21Heads Carolina, Tails California.
01:10:23Okay, Jodi Messina.
01:10:25Last week I got online and I saw Jodi Messina watching me sing her song.
01:10:28Okay, Hannah, you're not allowed to sing it better than me.
01:10:30That is so cool.
01:10:32Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week had me a little bit nervous.
01:10:34I did not grow up with rock and roll music in my household at all.
01:10:37Your family was, they were musicians or singers?
01:10:40Bluegrass, full time.
01:10:41We lived on a bus.
01:10:42Nice.
01:10:42Oh, bluegrass.
01:10:43I love bluegrass.
01:10:44I decided to sing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
01:10:46Took my love and I took it down.
01:10:50Hannah's like a little bird.
01:10:52She has a beautiful voice.
01:10:53Kind of forgot I had a guitar on me there for a minute.
01:10:55I was like, oh yeah, I got to play this thing.
01:10:56No, but it was kind of cool you didn't.
01:10:58I say not playing a guitar in the beginning.
01:11:00Yeah, I loved where we came in.
01:11:01Second half.
01:11:03Hannah represents pureness in family and music.
01:11:06You have kids, right?
01:11:08Two daughters.
01:11:09Did you travel with your kids?
01:11:10You bet.
01:11:11We never traveled without them.
01:11:12It's very difficult.
01:11:13She's got a lot on her plate.
01:11:15She's trying to do something really important.
01:11:17At the same time, there are sacrifices to be made.
01:11:19Still praying for a bus.
01:11:20Right now, we're just working out of a van with my three kids.
01:11:23Oh, you need a bus.
01:11:24You need the bus.
01:11:25It definitely scares me going into the business as a mom.
01:11:28Like right now, my husband is here full-time with me taking care of my kids while I'm doing this.
01:11:34So that's the hardest part right now.
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard, but if Pat did it, I can do it.
01:11:38Do you have any other questions or any thoughts?
01:11:40I'm a pro.
01:11:42I'm not off the top of my head.
01:11:43You can't scare her.
01:11:43She got three kids.
01:11:51I took my love and I took it down.
01:11:57I climbed a mountain and I turned around.
01:12:03And I saw my reflection in a snow-covered hill.
01:12:10Till the landslide brought me down.
01:12:16Oh, nearer in the sky, what is it wrong?
01:12:23Can the child within my heart rise above?
01:12:29Can I sail through the changing ocean tide?
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life?
01:12:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:51Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:12:56Cause I built my life around you
01:13:03But time makes you bolder
01:13:08Even children get older
01:13:11And I'm getting older too
01:13:17Oh, I'm getting older too
01:13:23Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:39That was a classic song
01:14:01With a classic performance
01:14:04Amazing
01:14:06Hannah, absolutely gorgeous
01:14:08Like perfect song for you to choose
01:14:10And just the way
01:14:11I mean, I know we say
01:14:12You made it your own
01:14:12But it, I mean, it sounded
01:14:14It sounded like you
01:14:15It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like, I mean, it was like
01:14:26I was at a performance
01:14:27At an award show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, I appreciate it
01:14:34As they said
01:14:36And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:39We were all drawn into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work for that
01:14:44I appreciate it
01:14:46Praying for a bus
01:14:47Praying for a bus
01:14:48Praying for that bus
01:14:50If you want Hannah's journey to live on
01:14:53Vote by commenting her name
01:14:54On her official pin voting post
01:14:55On Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
01:14:58You can also vote online or via text

01:15:02In the final commercial break
01:15:04Hannah Harper
01:15:06Thank you
01:15:12One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:18Live right after this
01:15:32We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:36And we're closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest bands
01:15:41Of all time
01:15:42Queen
01:15:43Is coming from
01:15:45Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I'm going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love
01:15:51By Queen
01:15:56Don't tell anyone
01:15:57But I just heard it
01:15:58For the first time yesterday
01:15:59And I kind of started to lose myself
01:16:01In the song
01:16:01Then when I opened my eyes
01:16:02And looked at them
01:16:03I lost everything
01:16:04I'm sorry
01:16:05Can I get the words actually
01:16:07And I want to get the song right
01:16:09I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11He didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself
01:16:14In rock and roll
01:16:15And I feel like me
01:16:16As a worship leader
01:16:17And predominantly singing
01:16:19You know gospel music
01:16:20You don't always see that
01:16:21In rock and roll
01:16:22Your motion
01:16:23On the stage
01:16:24You have to be
01:16:25That worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment
01:16:28In church
01:16:28You have to command
01:16:30That stage
01:16:31Okay
01:16:35Jordan's instrument
01:16:36Is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples
01:16:39Of a person
01:16:39Who literally
01:16:41Has control of the instrument
01:16:42And all you're going to do
01:16:43Is you're going to put
01:16:44Those last little bits
01:16:45In there
01:16:45Just to tweak it
01:16:46A little bit
01:16:46Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat Neal told me
01:16:49To move around the stage
01:16:50And gave some really
01:16:51Really cool advice
01:16:52On how to
01:16:53Command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself
01:16:55Too much
01:16:57The power in his voice
01:16:59Is just sensational
01:17:01Okay that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well done
01:17:03What the hell
01:17:05Okay I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore
01:17:06Ever
01:17:07That's weird
01:17:07I feel like I was in church
01:17:12Can anybody find me
01:17:17Somebody to love
01:17:27Each morning I get up
01:17:30I die
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:33Take a look
01:17:36Look in the mirror
01:17:37Cry
01:17:37Lord what are you doing
01:17:39In me
01:17:40Spent all my years
01:17:42Believing you
01:17:44I just can't hear
01:17:45No relief
01:17:46Lord
01:17:47Somebody
01:17:48Ooh somebody
01:17:50Can anybody find me
01:17:54Somebody to love
01:18:02You work hard
01:18:03Every day
01:18:04And I try
01:18:06And I try
01:18:06And I try
01:18:08But everybody
01:18:10Wants to put me down
01:18:11Say I'm going crazy
01:18:14Say I've got a lot
01:18:16Of wanting to pray
01:18:17No common sense
01:18:19Nobody loves to believe
01:18:31Find me somebody
01:18:34Find me somebody
01:18:38Find me somebody
01:18:40Find me somebody
01:18:41Find me somebody
01:18:44Find me somebody

01:18:50Find me somebody
01:18:50Can anybody find me somebody to love?
01:19:23Jordan!
01:19:26Jordan!
01:19:29That was so much fun!
01:19:33Can you hear me?
01:19:36That was so much fun, Jordan.
01:19:39You just proved, like, you don't have this, like, gruff, like, rock voice coming out here,
01:19:45you know, your voice is suited to, obviously, what you do for a living, but you just proved
01:19:52that anyone can rock.
01:19:56That's right.
01:19:57Thank you, Carrie.
01:19:59Everything about that was what American Idol is all about.
01:20:04You doing that, watching your fellow, watching your competition cheer you on and love on you,

01:20:14Everybody's had a great night, and that was what we sit here behind the desk for right
01:20:20there.

01:20:31Amazing.
01:20:32Thank you so much.
01:20:34It started strong, and wow, what a finish, and breath control, too, at the end there.
