00:05:10Stopped by Tenetor in the top 11
00:05:12They'll take the stage later with a not-to-be-missed live performance
00:05:17But first, here they are helping Chris Thompson with his choice
00:05:21In 2024 inductees, Horner
00:05:24Let'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
00:05:43Well, 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
00:05:59Very 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
00:06:11Make 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, it's really good
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody
00:06:18This is, like, this is really unique
00:06:20So, how are we sitting with the key?
00:06:23Are we sure we don't want to go down a half?
00:06:25We could try it
00:06:26Someday 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 to be
00:06:40So this one's really important
00:06:41Cold as ice
00:06:42He's gotta bring it

00:17:55oh
00:17:56right places and the dress and getting down. Um, it, you're, you're telling a story. I still don't
00:18:01know what that song means. Uh, but you did a great job and, and you, you clocked me, um,
00:18:08from, from my, my performance all, all them years ago. So good job. Thank you so much.
00:18:16I feel so much better now because you performed it. You don't know what it means. I don't know
00:18:20what it means, but it was great. So I think a lot of my songs, people don't know what they
00:18:25mean.
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out, but the bottom line is your whole presentation, this whole,
00:18:31um, this whole season has just been great vocals. Um, we saw you almost kind of get emotional.
00:18:38You're really pouring it all into your performances and we see that and we're glad you're here and
00:18:43America, make sure you vote and great job. Yeah. Yeah. Just, just, just for the record,
00:18:52just for the record. Uh, you're not supposed to know what it means. It just go. Yeah, it's a hit
00:18:57record. It's a hit record. By the way, I love the fact that we're doing these songs because these are
00:19:02classic hits and you are making it classic by turning these songs into your song. And that's
00:19:08what makes it special. You're not afraid. You're not afraid to put your stamp on that hit record.
00:19:17Way to go Ray. I always wondered why the cake was in the rain. Why was the cake out in
00:19:25the rain?
00:19:25Couldn't take it too long to bake it. I'll never have that recipe again.
00:19:30Carrie, when you watched that performance, what do you remember about that night when you performed
00:19:36it back in 2005? Uh, I think I might've been told at the end, I look like a, I look
00:19:43like I was from
00:19:44a dishwasher powder commercial. What? I think I can guess to you guys. Okay. I can guess what
00:19:52I think so. Maybe, maybe it wasn't that one. It might've been a blue dress I was wearing. I don't
00:19:57know. It was something like that. So tonight you wanted to come back and have a great one.
00:20:01How'd you change your approach this week? I honestly just worked so hard on my mental
00:20:06health this week and just made sure I was so present in this performance and put my soul
00:20:11into it. And you did it. There you go. There you go. You need to vote to make it to
00:20:15next week.
00:20:17Send them in for Ray and all your favorites online via the app or through social media.
00:20:22Voting the flows in the final commercial break. Ray, everyone. Nice work. Thank you.
00:20:32And now from the rock and roll hall of fame class of 1989,
00:20:37here's some Stevie wonder coming from Brayden Rumpfels.
00:20:44So what are you singing today? Uh, superstition. What made you decide to do this one?
00:20:48My brother texted me. Yeah. Nobody wants to hear a slow song again. Just go ahead and do something
00:20:53upbeat, like superstition. So we kind of like contradict each other, but we're best friends.
00:20:58We haven't even had a fist fight since like high school.
00:21:02Oh, there is superstition.
00:21:05Are you going to hand held? Are you going to say, what do you say?
00:21:08I would get out. I would be, you know, just playing.
00:21:11Yeah. If you're happy and you're really trying to get through, get those arms out.
00:21:19People are going to be out there clapping.
00:21:22Good, good.
00:21:22Maybe hopefully on two and four, not one or three.
00:21:25Yeah, no one or three. They do that.
00:21:26I'll tell you, that's why you should never look out in the crowd.
00:21:29Yeah, it's like looking on the front row at a funeral if you don't want to cry.
00:21:33That's what I was doing before this, by the way.
00:21:35I was like the wedding, more of a funeral singer.
00:21:38I love this.
00:21:39Brayden was a hoot. He was a hoot.
00:21:41I'm going to adopt him. I don't know about the twin.
00:21:43We've been married for 44 years. It works out.
00:21:46Of aggravation.
00:21:47I understand.
00:21:47Pat and Neil really just felt like I had met them before or something.
00:21:51Oh, yeah, yeah. We had a good time.
00:21:53We had a lot of fun.
00:21:54I feel like we had too much fun.
00:21:55You guys are great. Really fun time.
00:21:58Brayden, I don't have any doubt that he will deliver a truly great performance.
00:22:08There is superstitious, writings on the wall.
00:22:18There is superstitious, letters back to fall.
00:22:27A 13-month-old baby
00:22:33Poked the looking glass
00:22:37Seven years of bad luck
00:22:40Seven 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 face
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
00:23:24Or keep me going strong
00:23:27And you don't want to stay up 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
00:23:47You're superstitious, ain't the way
00:23:51Oh, yeah, yeah
00:23:53Oh, na, na, na
00:23:57Yeah
00:23:58When you believe in things
00:24:01That you don't understand
00:24:06Then you suffer
00:24:12Superstition ain't the way
00:24:30Okay, okay, Brayden
00:24:33Hey
00:24:39Keep listening to your brother
00:24:41Keep listening to your brother
00:24:43Great song choice

00:24:55Is 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
00:25:07And make yourself go outside
00:25:09Of your comfort zone
00:25:10You're in the right road

00:26:29Now from the Rock and Roll
00:26:31Hall of Fame
00:26:32Class of 2004
00:26:33A 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
00:26:52Just do what you do
00:26:53Because you got it
00:26:54Your voice is so incredible
00:26:56Thank you
00:26:57When 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
00:27:03How are you?
00:27:05Nice 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
00:27:23Don't do that much talking
00:27:25These Days
00:27:26You close your eyes
00:27:27What do you got going on
00:27:28When you're doing that?
00:27:31I 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
00:27:53Really sad
00:27:54It would be darker
00:27:56You're tapping into some
00:27:58Really some spiritual stuff
00:27:59Going on my man
00:28:00I'm telling you
00:28:01The blessing that the audience
00:28:02Is going to get
00:28:03From 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
00:28:27Oh I've been out walking
00:28:33I don't do that much talking
00:28:36In these days
00:28:38These days
00:28:45These days
00:28:46I seem to think a lot
00:28:48About the things
00:28:50That I forgot to do
00:28:53For you
00:28:57And all the times
00:29:00I had the chance to
00:29:08Oh I had a lover
00:29:14It's so hard to risk another
00:29:17These days
00:29:20These days
00:29:27Now if I seem to be afraid
00:29:30To live the life
00:29:31That I've made in song
00:29:38Oh it's just that I've been losing
00:29:44For 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
00:30:08These days
00:30:26All 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
00:30:55From last week
00:30:56You just seemed so in the moment
00:30:59So comfortable
00:31:00You looked like you just belonged

00:37:32good to see you guys
00:37:32doing 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

00:38:00I 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 note
00:38:13that's what I want to know

00:38:17what I've got to do

00:52:46Lucas Leon.
00:52:46Take a look.
00:52:49This is the most excited 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.
00:52:57No, 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.
00:53:02That'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.
00:53:11Hey kids, shake it loose together.
00:53:14The spotlight's hitting something.
00:53:15That's when I'm gonna change the weather.
00:53:18So 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.
00:53:25With this round, I just kinda wanna listen up a little bit
00:53:29and do something nobody really saw coming.
00:53:33That's great.
00:53:34Fantastic.
00:53:35Yeah, I would've never expected that rasp to come out of you.
00:53:37The intro of this song.
00:53:38Could you just kinda like, maybe like...
00:53:40Some kind of just...
00:53:45More activity up high.
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone,
00:53:48even though it is horrifyingly scary,
00:53:51it is so important to do.
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it, it really gets you so far.
00:54:03The thing that I'm most nervous about for this performance...
00:54:05That's better.
00:54:07Is, uh, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it up
00:54:09and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table this week,
00:54:12I'm wondering how much is too much.
00:54:14Work on it, see if it comes to you.
00:54:15Yeah, yeah, we're getting there.
00:54:16Yeah, you'll get there.
00:54:18Surprising.
00:54:28Hey, kids, shake it loose together.
00:54:31The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather.
00:54:34We'll kill the fatty calf tonight, so stick around.
00:54:41You're gonna hear the legend music's all the walls of sound.
00:54:48Oh...

00:56:42Let them go
00:56:44I thought it was a really good song choice
00:56:46And I feel like you are so entertaining
00:56:49Behind the piano
00:56:50Which is hard when you're like
00:56:51Kind of, you know, tethered to one place
00:56:53Behind a big instrument
00:56:55But you were entertaining still
00:56:57And that was great
00:56:58You did great
00:56:59Thank you so much
00:57:02I smile the whole time

00:57:58Check it out
00:57:59There you go
00:58:02Last week's performance
00:58:03Definitely very far from my favorite
00:58:06I've ever done in my life
00:58:06I was just in my head
00:58:08And for a second I forgot
00:58:10To just be Kendall
00:58:11At this stage in the competition
00:58:13There's just not room for mediocre performances
00:58:15I 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
00:58:22Message in a Bottle by the Police
00:58:23Or Peace of My Heart by James Joplin
00:58:26Take it
00:58:27I loved Kendall's voice
00:58:29I loved your whole demeanor
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart
00:58:33It's a classic rock song
00:58:34Everybody knows it
00:58:35And 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
00:58:44I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone
00:58:46But kind of
00:58:47Doesn't sound like it
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens
00:58:49Let's hear me sing the other one
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one
00:58:56Where she could be more of like
00:58:57A performing art
00:58:58Ist
00:59:03It's more authentic to me
00:59:05In what I might write
00:59:06You've got to pick
00:59:07What's going to make you
00:59:08The most comfortable
00:59:09Yeah
00:59:10Truly
00:59:11I am a little bit in my head
00:59:13About 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
00:59:19Do a message in a bottle

00:59:47Before the break

00:59:49Wondering which song
00:59:50Kendall chose
00:59:52For the major moment here
00:59:53We should go with
00:59:54Patton Neal's suggestion
00:59:55And perform the police
00:59:56Or is it going to be
00:59:58Janis Joplin
01:00:01Let's find out right now

01:02:22So
01:02:22You know what?
01:02:23We just did that y'all
01:02:25Kendall
01:02:27You have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30Or you wouldn't be standing here
01:02:31On this stage
01:02:31I just kind of felt like
01:02:32You gave up on yourself
01:02:33A little bit towards the end
01:02:35Like it was like
01:02:35Started out energetic
01:02:36And then it just kind of deflated
01:02:38Like the more you went
01:02:39You started turning around more
01:02:40And I was like
01:02:41Where's she going?
01:02:42What's she doing?
01:02:43But it was
01:02:44It was more about

01:04:08With some platinum
01:04:10A foreigner
01:04:10It's Philman Lee
01:04:14Philman had
01:04:15The most surprising
01:04:17Arrangement
01:04:18You said it was
01:04:19His big breakout moment
01:04:20It was
01:04:20Really felt like it
01:04:21In the room
01:04:22It was
01:04:23That was
01:04:24Incredible
01:04:24And electric
01:04:25Nice to meet you
01:04:26Going into Rock and Roll
01:04:27Hall of Fame week
01:04:28I definitely feel like
01:04:29My confidence
01:04:30Has gotten a lot better
01:04:31So insurance
01:04:32And rock and roll
01:04:34Insurance was just
01:04:35Paying the bills
01:04:35Hey
01:04:36I was a bank teller
01:04:37Oh wow
01:04:38Yeah
01:04:38Yeah I worked
01:04:39I worked on the docks
01:04:39Hey you gotta do
01:04:40What you gotta do
01:04:41What are you singing
01:04:42Hot-blooded
01:04:42By Foreigner
01:04:43I think that a lot of times
01:04:49Especially young people
01:04:50They think that
01:04:51The higher they can get it
01:04:53That delivers some kind of power
01:04:55And it doesn't
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice
01:04:58Yes
01:04:58The rasp is great
01:04:59Thank you
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step
01:05:02Because it just sounds like
01:05:03When you're singing
01:05:04You're not really comfortable
01:05:05Getting that note
01:05:06So you're backing off the mic
01:05:07Now you're more so fine
01:05:11Let me lay it on the line
01:05:14Way better
01:05:15And just bringing it down enough
01:05:16Gives them enough confidence
01:05:18And they're able to do it
01:05:19Let me talk to you
01:05:20About singing this song
01:05:21Okay
01:05:21So you are singing this to a female
01:05:24Like you better be saying like
01:05:25Come on baby
01:05:26Do you do more than dance
01:05:28You know what I mean
01:05:29Oh man
01:05:29What would I do
01:05:30If I sang that to you like that
01:05:32I'd be right all over
01:05:33Oh man
01:05:34I started something
01:05:48I'm half-blooded
01:05:51Check it and see
01:05:52I got a fever of a hundred degrees
01:05:56Come on baby
01:05:58Do you do more than dance
01:06:00I'm half-blooded
01:06:06You don't have to read my mind
01:06:11Know what I have in mind
01:06:14Honey
01:06:15You wanna know
01:06:20Yeah you're more so fine
01:06:23Let me lay it on the line
01:06:27Yeah I wanna know
01:06:30What you're doing
01:06:31Have 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
01:06:48Like you never knew
01:06:51That's why I'm half-blooded
01:06:54Take it and see
01:06:56I got a fever of a hundred degrees
01:07:00Come on baby
01:07:02Do you do more than dance
01:07:04I'm half-blooded
01:07:06Half-blooded
01:07:08Half-blooded
01:07:10Check it and see
01:07:12I got a fever of a hundred degrees
01:07:16Come on baby
01:07:18Do you do more than dance
01:07:20Half-blooded
01:07:22Half-blooded
01:07:24Half-blooded
01:07:26I'm playing
01:07:39Half-blooded
01:07:41Half-blooded
01:07:44Half-blooded
01:07:50And listen, you know, just next time, too, just 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.
01:08:11I think I got too much product for this day to follow.
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 start looking at
01:08:23us, which 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.
01:08:39Right, right.
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:41I got you.
01:08:41It's in there.
01:08:42It's in there.
01:08:43Bring it.
01:08:44More, more, more.
01:08:44I got you.
01:08:45More, more, more.
01:08:45Bring on that confidence.
01:08:46Come here for a second, tell me.
01:08:49Luke, Luke, mess up his hair a little bit.
01:08:51He'll mess up his hair.
01:08:52He'll see if we can 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.
01:08:58Anyway, there you go.
01:08:59There you go.
01:09:00There you go.
01:09:00Come on now.
01:09:08Filming once in your top nine for Disney night next week.
01:09:12Help him get there by voting right now online via text and across social.
01:09:16You got the power, America.
01:09:18Use it.
01:09:19There is a lot of product in there.
01:09:20Yes.
01:09:21I recognize that myself.
01:09:23Humanly, 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.
01:09:41We got it in, y'all.
01:09:50Look at this.
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol.
01:09:52Big hello right now to Danielle Fischel and Idol's OG rocker, Constantine Maroulas.
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.
01:10:12Now, here's the meeting of the minds with Pat, Neal, and Hannah.
01:10:21Heads Carolina, Tails California.
01:10:24Okay, 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.
01:10:40Full-time, we lived on a bus.
01:10:42Oh, bluegrass, I 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.
01:10:53I kind 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.
01:11:02Yeah.
01:11:02Hannah represents pureness in family and music.
01:11:06You have kids, right?
01:11:08Two daughters.
01:11:09Two 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 right now.
01:11:20We'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
01:11:30taking 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?
01:11:40She's a pro.
01:11:42Not off the top of my head.
01:11:43You can't scare her.
01:11:43She's got three kids.
01:11:51I took my love and I took it down.
01:11:57I climbed a mountain and I turned around.
01:12:02And I saw my reflection in a snow-covered hill
01:12:10Till the landslide brought me down
01:12:28Can I sail through the changing ocean tide?
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life?
01:12:46To mine with my faith?
01:12:47I'll see you someday.
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, it made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like, I mean, it was like I was at a performance
01:14:27At an award show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, Lee, 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 you
01:14:44Appreciate it
01:14:46Praying for a bus
01:14:47Praying for a bus
01:14:48Praying for that bus

01:15:12One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:18Live right after this
01:15:31We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:37And we are closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:40From one of the greatest fans of all time
01:15:43Queen
01:15:43It is coming from Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I am going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love by Queen
01:15:56Don't tell anyone
01:15:57But I just heard it for the first time yesterday
01:15:59And I kind of started to lose myself in the song
01:16:01Then when I opened my eyes and looked at them
01:16:03I lost everything
01:16:04I'm sorry
01:16:05Can I get the words actually?
01:16:07I don't want to put the song right
01:16:09I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself in rock and roll
01:16:15And I feel like me as a worship leader
01:16:18And predominantly singing gospel music
01:16:20You don't always see that in rock and roll
01:16:22Your motion on the stage
01:16:24You have to be that worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment in church
01:16:28You have to command that stage
01:16:31Take a look in the mirror and cry
01:16:35Jordan's instrument is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples of a person
01:16:40Who literally has control of the instrument
01:16:42And all you're going to do
01:16:43Is you're going to put those last little bits in there
01:16:45Just to tweak it a little bit
01:16:47Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat Neal told me to move around the stage
01:16:50And gave some really, really cool advice
01:16:52On how to command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself too much
01:16:55The power in his voice
01:16:59Is just sensational
01:17:01Okay, that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well, did it
01:17:03What the hell?
01:17:05Okay, I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore ever
01:17:07That's weird
01:17:07I felt like I was in church
01:17:13Can anybody find me
01:17:17Somebody to love
01:17:27Each morning I get up my dial
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:34Take a look in the mirror
01:17:37God, what are you doing in me?
01:17:41Spin all my years
01:17:43Believing you
01:17:44I just can't get no relief
01:17:46Lord, somebody
01:17:48Somebody
01:17:49Ooh, somebody
01:17:50Can anybody find me
01:17:54Somebody to love
01:18:01We work hard
01:18:03Every day

01:18:06And I try
01:18:06And I try
01:18:07And I try
01:18:08But everybody wants to put me down
01:18:11Say I'm going crazy
01:18:15Say I've got a lot of water in the brain
01:18:17No common sense
01:18:19Nobody loves to believe
01:18:31Find me

01:18:36Find me somebody
