00:05:14With a not-to-be-missed live performance
00:05:17But first, here they are
00:05:19Helping Chris Thompson with his choice
00:05:21From 2024 inductees, Foreigner
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
00:05:38Until this show, so
00:05:39I have a line of questions
00:05:41You're not 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?
00:06:04Someday you'll pay
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that
00:06:10Make it like a...
00:06:12That'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, this 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 a half?
00:06:25We could try it
00:06:27Someday you'll pay
00:06:30There you go
00:06:30Dad made all the difference at half-step
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 wasn't up to where he wanted 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
00:06:43Good luck, babe
00:06:44You're so fun

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

00:13:47On Adonis
00:13:48Summer classes
00:13:48By Ray
00:13:49Take a look
00:13:54My mom is the biggest
00:13:56Pat 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
00:14:10Don't cry
00:14:11Don't cry
00:14:12I'm so glad
00:14:12I got to FaceTime
00:14:13My mom
00:14:13She's doing great
00:14:15Oh my gosh
00:14:16Really meant
00:14:17A lot
00:14:18To me
00:14:19And to her
00:14:20I love you mommy
00:14:23For Rock and Roll
00:14:24Hall of Fame
00:14:25I am singing
00:14:26MacArthur Park
00:14:26By Donna Summer
00:14:27I saw that Carrie
00:14:30Did MacArthur Park
00:14:31On her season
00:14:32Of 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
00:14:42In the bottom two
00:14:43And Lionel Richie
00:14:44Saved me
00:14:45My answer is Ray
00:14:46I definitely feel the pressure
00:14:48And I'm 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
00:14:59Is there a way
00:15:01To 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
00:15:06Like at the very end
00:15:07So I'm like
00:15:10If you hold that last note
00:15:11A little longer
00:15:12To just let it fade away
00:15:13Maybe move the mic away
00:15:18You know what
00:15:19No one can do
00:15:20What you can do
00:15:21So you just
00:15:22Play with it
00:15:23Enjoy it
00:15:23And we'll get you
00:15:24Out of that bottom
00:15:25Yes
00:15:25We have it in there
00:15:26You will find it
00:15:27And bring it today
00:15:28Thank you guys
00:15:28You're welcome
00:15:36Spring was never waiting
00:15:38For a steer
00:15:40It ran one step ahead
00:15:44As we followed in
00:15:46The dance
00:15:49The Carpenter's Park
00:15:51Is melting in the dark
00:15:54All the sweet green icing
00:15:57Flowing down
00:16:00Someone left the cake
00:16:02Out in the rain
00:16:04I don't think
00:16:07That I can take it
00:16:10Cause it took so long
00:16:12To bake it
00:16:13And I'll never have
00:16:15That recipe again
00:16:19Oh no
00:16:27I recall the yellow
00:16:30Contest
00:16:32Foaming like a man
00:16:36On the ground
00:16:38Beyond me
00:16:42On the ground
00:16:44On the ground
00:16:44It's melting in the dark
00:16:47All the sweet green icing
00:16:50Flowing down
00:16:53Someone left the cake
00:16:56Out in the rain
00:16:59I don't think
00:17:01I don't think
00:17:02That I can take it
00:17:04I can take so long
00:17:06To bake it
00:17:07And I'll never have
00:17:09That recipe again
00:17:28Never again
00:17:29Never again
00:17:32Never again
00:17:51I love the drama.
00:17:54It was just dramatic in all the right places
00:17:56and the dress and getting down.
00:17:59You were telling a story.
00:18:00I still don't know what that song means,
00:18:03but you did a great job,
00:18:05and you clocked me from my performance all them years ago.
00:18:11So good job.
00:18:13Thank you so much.
00:18:16I feel so much better now because you performed it.
00:18:18You don't know what it means.
00:18:19I don't know what it means, but it was great.
00:18:22So I think a lot of my songs people don't know what they mean.
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:18:27But the bottom line is your whole presentation this whole season has just been great vocals.
00:18:35We saw you almost kind of get emotional.
00:18:38You're really pouring it all into your performances, and we see that.
00:18:42And we're glad you're here.
00:18:43And, America, make sure you vote.
00:18:45And great job.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:50Just, just, just for the record, just for the record, you're not supposed to know what it means.
00:18:55It just goes, yeah, it's a hit record.
00:18:57It's a hit record.
00:18:58By the way, I love the fact that we're doing these songs because these are classic hits,
00:19:03and you are making it classic by turning these songs into your song.
00:19:08And that's what makes it special.
00:19:09So, you're not afraid, you're not afraid to put your stamp on that hit record.
00:19:17Way to go, Ray.
00:19:19I always wondered why the cake was in the rain.
00:19:23Why was the cake out in the rain?
00:19:25Couldn't take it.
00:19:26Too long to bake it.
00:19:28I'll never have that recipe again.
00:19:30Carrie, when you watched that performance, what do you remember about that night when
00:19:35you performed it back in 2005?
00:19:38I think I might have been told at the end I looked like I was from a dishwasher powder
00:19:46commercial.
00:19:47What?
00:19:47I think I can guess.
00:19:49I can guess to you guys, okay?
00:19:51I can guess what shot.
00:19:52I think so.
00:19:53Maybe, maybe it wasn't that one.
00:19:55It might have been a blue dress I was wearing.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:19:57It was something like that.
00:19:59So, tonight you wanted to come back and have a great one.
00:20:01How'd you change your approach this week?
00:20:03I honestly just worked so hard on my mental health this week and just made sure I was
00:20:09so present in this performance and put my soul into it.
00:20:12And you did it.
00:20:12There you go.
00:20:14There you go.
00:20:14Please vote to make it to next week.
00:20:17Send them in for Ray and all your favorites online, via the app, or through social media.
00:20:22Voting will close in the final commercial break.
00:20:25Ray, everyone.
00:20:26Nice work.
00:20:32And now, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 1989, here's some Stevie Wonder
00:20:38coming from Brayden Rumpfelt.
00:20:44So, what are you singing today?
00:20:46Superstition.
00:20:46What made you decide to do this one?
00:20:48My brother texted me, yeah, nobody wants to hear a slow song again.
00:20:52Just go ahead and do something upbeat, like superstition.
00:20:55So, 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?
00:21:06Are you going to say...
00:21:07What do you think?
00:21:08I would get out.
00:21:09I would be, you know, just playing.
00:21:11Yeah.
00:21:12Getting with it.
00:21:12If you're happy and you're really trying to get through, get those arms out.
00:21:16Broke the looking glass.
00:21:19People are going to be out there clapping.
00:21:22Good, good.
00:21:22Maybe hopefully on two and four, not one and three.
00:21:25Yeah, they're not one and three.
00:21:26They 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 to 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.
00:21:38Brayden.
00:21:38I love this kid.
00:21:39Brayden was a hoot.
00:21:40He was a hoot.
00:21:41I'm going to adopt him.
00:21:42I don't know about the twin.
00:21:43We've been married for 44 years, so it works out.
00:21:45My aggravation.
00:21:46I understand.
00:21:47Pat and Neil really just felt like I had met them before or something.
00:21:51Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:52We 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.
00:21:56Really fun time.
00:21:58Brayden, I don't have any doubt that he will deliver a truly great performance.
00:22:09There is superstitious
00:22:14Riding on the road
00:22:18Very superstitious
00:22:22Let us back to fall
00:22:27A 13-month-old baby
00:22:37Seven years of bad luck
00:22:42Your good things in the past
00:22:46When you believe in things that you don't understand
00:22:52Then you suffer
00:22:56Superstition
00:22:57Superstition 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
00:23:13And do all that you love
00:23:15And do all that you can
00:23:20Keep me in a day to read
00:23:24Or keep me going strong
00:23:29And you don't want to say
00:23:31And you don't want to say
00:23:57When you believe in things that you don't understand
00:24:04Then you don't want to say
00:24:13Then you suffer

00:26:34by Jackson Brown
00:26:35courtesy of Brooks
00:26:43last week's performance
00:26:44I wasn't extremely happy about

00:27:04how 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
00:27:19and that's what it means to me
00:27:22don'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

00:37:06What we really do
00:37:08Besides take them to Target
00:37:09What's the answer?
00:37:10What do you really do?
00:37:11We 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
00:37:18Come see us
00:37:23Here's Pat and Neil
00:37:25Leading the way
00:37:26With Daniel Stallworth
00:37:27Take 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
00:37:35This 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 note?
00:38:14That's what I want to know
00:38:15Maybe 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
00:38:25You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power
00:38:31Than you ever need
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon
00:38:33Up to that point
00:38:34People remember intros
00:38:35And you remember endings
00:38:36And he's got to deliver that end
00:38:38Going into the performance
00:38:40I have a lot to work on
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition
00:38:44It will mean the world to me
00:38:45And I want it to be
00:38:47One of the best performances
00:38:49That I've delivered
00:38:50And I'm just going to keep working harder
00:38:51So I can get there
00:38:57She said we've got to hold on
00:39:01To what we've got
00:39:03Doesn't make a difference
00:39:06If we make it or not
00:39:08We've got each other
00:39:10And that's a line for love
00:39:14We'll give it a shot
00:39:18Come on
00:39:19Put some hands together
00:39:20Come on
00:39:21Tommy used to work on the dark
00:39:26Junior's been on strike
00:39:27He's down on his luck
00:39:30It's tough
00:39:32Ooh
00:39:33So tough
00:39:36Yeah
00:39:37Gina works the diner all day
00:39:42Working for her man
00:39:45She brings all my pain
00:39:47For love
00:39:50Oh
00:39:51For love
00:39:54She says we've got to hold on
00:39:57To what we've got
00:40:00It doesn't make a difference
00:40:02If we make it or not
00:40:04We've got each other
00:40:06And that's a line for love
00:40:10We'll give it a shot
00:40:13Oh
00:40:13We're halfway there
00:40:17Oh
00:40:19Living on a prayer
00:40:21Take my hand
00:40:23We'll make it I swear
00:40:25Oh
00:40:26Living on a prayer
00:40:30Living on a prayer
00:40:33Living on a prayer
00:40:37We've got to hold on
00:40:40To what we've got
00:40:43We've got to hold on
00:40:45To what we've got
00:40:48We've got to hold on
00:40:50To what we've got
00:40:51Take my hand
00:40:53We'll make it I swear

00:52:45Elton John, Lucas 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?
00:52:5618.
00:52:58We're in the fourth quarter.
00:52:59I'm just telling you right now.
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.
00:53:11Hey, kids, shake it loose together.
00:53:14The spotlight's hitting something that's been done to change the weather.
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 listen up a little bit and do something nobody really saw
00:53:31coming.
00:53:32We'll put Benny and the Jets.
00:53:34That'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.
00:53:38Could 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.
00:53:53And 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...
00:54:05That's better.
00:54:07...is, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it up and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table this
00:54:11week, 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, shake 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 cap tonight, so stick around.
00:54:41You're gonna hear electric music's all the walls of sound.
00:54:51You're gonna hear it.
00:55:16Penny and a jet.
00:55:19Oh, Kenny and Ronnie, have you seen them, yeah?
00:55:33Oh, but there's some space now.
00:55:36P-P-P-P-P-P-Penny and a jet.
00:55:39Oh, but the weird and the wonderful
00:55:42Oh, man, you see the red king
00:55:45She's got electric boots
00:55:48A money suit
00:55:49And already in a magazine
00:55:52I'm far, far, far
00:55:55B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
00:55:59Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
00:56:02B-Bennie and the Jets
00:56:07B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
00:56:23Thank you, thank you.
00:56:25One of my favorite songs,
00:56:29and I'm telling you,
00:56:31you waited right to the end
00:56:33to put your magic on it.
00:56:36I'm telling you when I say this,
00:56:37take the chances.

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 were so entertaining
00:56:49behind the piano,
00:56:50which is hard when you're like kind of,
00:56:52you 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.
00:57:03I smiled the whole time.
00:57:05You have this charisma thing

00:57:10anywhere.

00:57:21Thank you so much.
00:57:22Nice work tonight.
00:57:24Did you rehearse those facialisms?
00:57:27They kind of just happen.
00:57:29I don't really know where they come from.

00:57:55help Kendall land on the perfect song
00:57:57for the moment.
00:57:58Check it out.
00:57:59There you go.
00:58:02Last week's performance,
00:58:04definitely very far from my favorite
00:58:05I've ever done in my life.
00:58:07I was just in my head,
00:58:08and for a second,
00:58:09I forgot to just be Kendall.
00:58:12At this stage in the competition,
00:58:13there's just not room
00:58:14for 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
00:58:19between 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
00:58:25by 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,
00:58:33it's a classic rock song.
00:58:34Everybody knows it,
00:58:35and they want to sing along.
00:58:37Oh, God.
00:58:40That's fun.
00:58:41That's awesome.
00:58:42That's great.
00:58:43That's great.
00:58:44This 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
00:58:49with the other song.
00:58:50Let's hear the other one.
00:58:51Oh, yeah,
00:58:52I've passed since I wrote my note.
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one
00:58:56where she could be more
00:58:57of like a performing art-ist.
00:58:59Message in a Bottle, yeah.
00:59:03It's more authentic to me
00:59:05in what I might write.
00:59:07You'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,
00:59:20do 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
00:59:31live right after this.
00:59:32Hang tight.
00:59:45You are like live on Idle.
00:59:47Before the break,
00:59:48we're on the edge of our seats
00:59:49wondering which song Kendall chose
00:59:52for the major moment here.
00:59:53We should go with Pat and Neal's suggestion
00:59:55and perform The Police,
00:59:56or is it going to be Janis Joplin?
01:00:01Let's find out right now.
01:00:02America.

01:02:28You have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30Or you wouldn't be standing here on this stage
01:02:31I just kind of felt like you gave up on yourself a little bit towards the end
01:02:35Like it was like
01:02:35It started 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
01:02:44Like your attitude toward it
01:02:46Your voice is amazing
01:02:48Thank you
01:02:49Yeah, way to battle through
01:02:51Thanks

01:02:58And I do believe you picked the perfect song
01:03:01Thank you
01:03:01That embodies what you are as an artist
01:03:03And kind of a free spirit

01:04:07Can he deliver again with some platinum?
01:04:10A foreigner
01:04:10It's Philman Lee
01:04:14Philman had the most surprising arrangement
01:04:18You said it was his big breakout moment
01:04:20It was
01:04:20It really felt like it in the room
01:04:22It was
01:04:23That was incredible and electric
01:04:25Nice to meet you
01:04:26Going into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:04:28I definitely feel like my confidence has gotten a lot better
01:04:31So, insurance and rock and roll
01:04:34Insurance was just paying the bills
01:04:35Hey, I was a bank teller
01:04:37Oh, wow
01:04:38Yeah
01:04:38Yeah, I worked on the docks
01:04:39Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-blooded by Foreigner
01:04:43When I'm hot-blooded
01:04:45Check it and see
01:04:47I 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
01:04:58Yeah, it's great
01:04:58The rasp is great
01:04:59Thank you
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step
01:05:02Cause it just sounds like
01:05:03When you're singing
01:05:04You're not really comfortable getting 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?
01:05:29You know what I mean?
01:05:29Oh, man
01:05:29What would I do if I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over you
01:05:33Oh, man
01:05:34I started something
01:05:39Ooh, yeah

01:06:11Know what I have in mind
01:06:14Honey, you ought to know
01:06:20Well, you're more so fine
01:06:24Let me lay it on the line
01:06:28Hey, I want to know
01:06:30What you're doing
01:06:31How to show

01:07:46Hall of Fame night
01:07:47Those are the kind of songs
01:07:48I'm thinking we're gonna hear
01:07:49A great song choice
01:07:51Listen, you know, just
01:07:52Next time, too
01:07:53Just don't
01:07:54Don't be scared to just
01:07:55Be in the character
01:07:56Of everything
01:07:57I think your in-ear monitor
01:07:58Was kind of messing with you
01:08:00A little bit
01:08:00And it was throwing up
01:08:01Slid off a little bit
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there
01:08:03Get through that
01:08:04And get back to like
01:08:05Embodying what that song is
01:08:07I even wanted to see
01:08:08Your hair get messed up
01:08:09A little bit
01:08:10I think I got too much product
01:08:12For this thing to follow
01:08:13I totally agree
01:08:14Listen
01:08:15There's singing
01:08:16And then there's performing
01:08:18You follow me?
01:08:19And so what we were rating for
01:08:20Was
01:08:20Right after you mess with that ear
01:08:22Then you started looking at us
01:08:24Which means you're looking at America
01:08:26They're falling in love with you
01:08:27You gotta look at us
01:08:28That's the thing you want them to do

01:10:21Heads Carolina
01:10:22Tails California
01:10:23Okay
01:10:24Jody Messina
01:10:24Last week
01:10:25I got online
01:10:26And I saw Jody Messina
01:10:27Watching me sing her song
01:10:28Okay Hannah
01:10:29You're not allowed to sing it
01:10:30Better than me
01:10:30That is so cool
01:10:32Rock and roll hall of fame
01:10:33Week had me a little bit nervous
01:10:34I did not grow up with rock and roll music
01:10:35In my household
01:10:36At all
01:10:37Your family was
01:10:38They were musicians or singers
01:10:40Bluegrass
01:10:40Full time
01:10:41We lived on a bus
01:10:41Nice
01:10:42Bluegrass
01:10:43I love bluegrass
01:10:44I decided to sing
01:10:45Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
01:10:46Took my love
01:10:47And I took it down
01:10:50Hannah's like a little bird
01:10:51She has a beautiful voice
01:10:53I kind of forgot
01:10:53I had a guitar on me
01:10:54There first
01:10:54I was like
01:10:55Oh yeah
01:10:55I got to play this thing
01:10:56No but it was kind of cool
01:10:57You didn't
01:10:58I say not playing a guitar
01:10:59In the beginning
01:11:00Yeah I loved
01:11:01Where 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
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 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
01:11:32And all the seasons
01:11:34So that's the hardest part right now
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard
01:11:37But if Pat did it
01:11:38I can do it
01:11:38Do you have any other questions or any thoughts?
01:11:40That's a pro
01:11:42I'm not off the top of my head
01:11:42You 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
01:12:02And I saw my reflection in a snow-covered hill
01:12:10Till the landslide brought me down
01:12:22Can the child within my heart
01:12:26Rise above
01:12:28Can I sail through the changing ocean tide
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life
01:12:50Well 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
01:13:23Oh I'm getting older too
01:13:25Well I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:57That was a classic song
01:14:01With a classic performance
01:14:04Amazing
01:14:04Hannah, 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
01:14:13I mean it sounded
01:14:14It sounded like you
01:14:15It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah
01:14:20It made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like
01:14:25I mean it was like
01:14:26I was at a performance
01:14:27At an awards show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you
01:14:30Thank you

01:14:36And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:39We were all drawn
01:14:41Into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work
01:14:43Thank you
01:14:44Appreciate it

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
01:15:35Hall of fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:37And we're closing out
01:15:38The performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest
01:15:41Fans of all time
01:15:42Queen
01:15:43It's coming from
01:15:45Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For rock and roll
01:15:49Hall 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
01:16:00To lose myself in 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
01:16:07I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have
01:16:12All 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 has
01:16:41Control 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 command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself
01:16:55Too much
01:16:58The power in his voice
01:16:59Is just sensational
01:17:01Okay that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well damn
01:17:03What the hell
01:17:05Okay I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore
01:17:06Ever
01:17:07That's worth it
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 diet
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:33Take a look in the mirror
01:17:37God what are you doing in me
01:17:40Spin all my ears
