00:05:17But first, here they are, helping Chris Thompson with his choice in 2024 inductees, Foreigner.
00:05:25Let'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, but don't be safe.
00:05:37I've never performed, like, ever in my life until the show, so I have a lot of questions.
00:05:41You've got this far. You must be doing something right.
00:05:43Well, I don't know.
00:05:44I'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.
00:05:52Sacrifice on your own.
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site.
00:05:55My boss, he always plays, like, rock hits.
00:05:58Chris is a great guy, very cool voice.
00:06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:04Which he said.
00:06:05Someday you'll pay.
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that.
00:06:11Make it like a...
00:06:12That's good.
00:06:12You're gonna pay.
00:06:13Yeah.
00:06:14Plus, 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.
00:06:21So, 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.
00:06:31That made all the difference at half-step.
00:06:33There's a lot of pressure.
00:06:34The live shows, there'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 it to be, so this one's really important.
00:06:41Cold as ice?
00:06:42He's got to bring it.
00:06:44Good luck, guys.
00:06:44You're so fun.
00:06:45You're so cool.
00:06:46That was great.
00:06:46Really great.
00:06:47Thank you, guys.
00:06:53You're as cold as ice Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:08You never take advice Someday you'll pay the price, I know
00:07:16I've seen it before, it happens all the time You're closing the door, you leave the world behind

00:07:27Oh, fortunate feelings Cause someday you'll pay
00:07:33You're as cold as ice Willing to sacrifice our love

00:09:00All right, Chris.
00:09:06All right, Chris.
00:09:07Chris, I'm going to give you some big pointers here, okay?
00:09:12Yes, sir.
00:09:12Once you take that mic out of that poster, never go back to that mic stand again.
00:09:19Yes, sir.
00:09:19What I'm saying to you, attitude now, from that point on, is all about doing it, performing it, making it
00:09:25happen.
00:09:26Your voice is there.
00:09:27Trust yourself.
00:09:28Take a chance.
00:09:29Chris, this was a fantastic song choice for you.
00:09:35I love the energy you came out with.
00:09:38I feel like this is one of my favorite performances that you have done, if not the favorite performance that
00:09:42you have done.
00:09:42Wow.
00:09:43Thank you, Chris.
00:09:44It's a great way to kick us off, man.
00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front, you kind of kept it down, kind of your style, and then you
00:09:52got back to what the song originally is, and you brought the energy, and you just gave us a lot.
00:09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you.
00:10:00Did you have something blowing on your hair?
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans.
00:10:04Yeah, something like that.
00:10:05The Beyonce fans.
00:10:07There you go.
00:10:08You know, you got the hair blowing in the wind and the mix.
00:10:11I mean, it was fun.
00:10:12That was fun.
00:10:14Got to use all the angles.
00:10:16Use all the angles.
00:10:16Great job, Chris.

00:10:33Cold as ice.
00:10:34There was a look on that performance.
00:10:35You wanted to come back and have a great night tonight.
00:10:39How did that one feel differently tonight?
00:10:41That just felt fun.
00:10:42I feel like I was sitting on my side of the comfort zone for a long time,
00:10:45and you guys talking to me, like, push through, break through.
00:10:49It's not just about being in comfort.
00:10:50So this was out of my comfort zone, but it was so fun, and I needed that.

00:12:23Come on, judges.
00:12:24Here we go.
00:12:24Good morning.
00:12:27Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:29Jennifer, what's going down?
00:12:31Nothing.
00:12:31And I'm here to entertain y'all.
00:12:34It is Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:38When I sing, I just hope that somebody is touched by me.
00:12:43Somebody sees me.
00:12:44The Grammy, the best R&B album.
00:12:47And the Oscar goes to...
00:12:51Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:53Wow, I don't know what to say, but I thank you all.
00:12:56I cannot believe this.
00:12:58Look what God can do.
00:13:00I feel like my life is like living the impossible dream at times.
00:13:10You think you're the best that we can find in America?
00:13:13Yes, I do.
00:13:21I get chills watching that.
00:13:23For one night only, the incredible Jennifer Hudson makes her historic return to American Idol.
00:13:30She'll be mentoring the finalists and taking a seat on the panel, along with Carrie, Luke, and Lionel.
00:13:37It will be a magical night on our stage, and it all starts at 8, 7 Central next Monday.
00:13:44Now, here's Pat and Neil giving their excellent advice on Adonis Summer classes by Ray.
00:13:49Take a look.
00:13:51Hi, guys.
00:13:52Hi.
00:13:53Welcome.
00:13:54It's so nice to meet you.
00:13:55My mom is the biggest Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo fan.
00:14:01My mom was a singer.
00:14:03She sang Pat Benatar.
00:14:07Hey, mom.
00:14:08Hi, mom.
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:10Stop.
00:14:10Don't cry.
00:14:11Don't cry.
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom.
00:14:14She's doing great.
00:14:15Oh, my gosh.
00:14:16It really meant a lot to me and to her.
00:14:20I love you, mommy.
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I am singing MacArthur Park by Donna Summer.
00:14:29I saw that Carrie did MacArthur Park on her season of American Idol.
00:14:33Like, this is my sign to do the song.
00:14:37So this week, I really have to bring it.
00:14:40Last week, I was actually in the bottom two, and Lionel Richie saved me.
00:14:45My answer is Ray.
00:14:47I definitely feel the pressure.
00:14:48I'm so grateful to sing on the stage again.
00:14:51So I got to do it justice.
00:14:53Again.
00:14:56One suggestion, maybe, is very powerful, right?
00:15:00Is there a way to do something where you're very powerful and then do something where it's
00:15:03very quiet so it gets really soulful?
00:15:06Yeah, like at the very end, so I'm like, again.
00:15:10If you hold that last note a little longer to just let it fade away, maybe move the mic away.
00:15:19You know what?
00:15:19No one can do what you can do.
00:15:21So you just play with it, enjoy it.
00:15:24And we'll get you out of that bottom.
00:15:25Yes!
00:15:25We have it in there.
00:15:26You will find it and bring it today.
00:15:28Thank you, guys.
00:15:28Yes, you're welcome.
00:15:36Spring was never waiting for a steer.
00:15:40It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
00:15:49The carpet's park is melting in the dark
00:15:54All the sweet green icing flowing down
00:16:00Someone left the cake out 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
00:16:20Oh no
00:16:27I recall the yellow cotton dress
00:16:32Foaming like the red
00:16:36On the ground beneath your feet
00:16:42The carpet's park is melting in the dark
00:16:47All the sweet green icing flowing down
00:16:53Someone left the cake out in the rain
00:16:59I 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
00:17:28Never again
00:17:29Never again
00:17:51I love the drama
00:17:53It was just dramatic in all the right places
00:17:56And the dress and getting down
00:17:58You 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
00:18:08From my performance all 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 is
00:18:29Your whole presentation
00:18:30This whole season
00:18:33Has just been great vocals
00:18:35We saw you almost kind of get emotional
00:18:38You're really pouring it all
00:18:39Into your performances
00:18:40And we see that
00:18:41And we're glad you're here
00:18:43And America makes sure you vote
00:18:45And 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 what it means
00:18:55It's just going
00:18:56Yeah
00:18:56It's a hit record
00:18:57It's a hit record
00:18:58By the way
00:18:59I love the fact that we're doing these songs
00:19:02Because 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
00:19:20I always wondered
00:19:21Why 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
00:19:27I'll never have that recipe again
00:19:30Carrie
00:19:31When you watch 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 I might have been told
00:19:41At the end
00:19:42I look like I was from
00:19:44A dishwasher
00:19:46Powder commercial
00:19:47What?
00:19:48I think I can guess
00:19:49I can guess
00:19:49To you guys
00:19:50Okay?
00:19:51I can guess
00:19:52What
00:19:52A dishwasher
00:19:52Powder
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
00:20:01And have a great one
00:20:01How did you change your approach
00:20:02This week?
00:20:03I honestly just 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 into it
00:20:12And you did it
00:20:12There you go

00:20:27Thank you
00:20:32And now
00:20:33From the Rock and Roll
00:20:34Hall of Fame
00:20:35Class 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?
00:20:46Uh superstition
00:20:46What made you decide to do this song?
00:20:48My brother texted me
00:20:49Yeah nobody wants to hear a slow song again
00:20:51Just go ahead and 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
00:21:00Since like high school
00:21:01So
00:21:02Oh there is superstition
00:21:05Are you going to
00:21:05Handheld
00:21:06Are you going to say
00:21:07What 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
00:21:12Getting with it
00:21:12If you're happy
00:21:13And you're really trying to get through
00:21:15Get those arms up
00:21:16Boke the looking glass
00:21:19People are going to be out there clapping
00:21:21Good
00:21:22Good
00:21:22Hopefully on two and four
00:21:24Not one and three
00:21:25Yeah they're not one and three
00:21:26They do that
00:21:26I'll tell you
00:21:27That's why you should never look out in the crowd
00:21:28Yeah it's like looking on the front road
00:21:30At a funeral
00:21:31Feeling a cry
00:21:33It's what I was doing before this by the way

00:26:30Now from the Rock and Roll
00:26:31Hall of Fame
00:26:32Class 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
00:26:52Just 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
00:27:04How 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
00:27:20And that's what it means to me
00:27:23Don't do that much talking
00:27:25These Days
00:27:26Yeah, you close your eyes
00:27:27What do you got going on
00:27:28When you're doing that?
00:27:31I 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
00:28:28Oh, I've been out walking
00:28:33I don't do that much talking
00:28:36These 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
00:29:09Oh, I had a lover
00:29:14It's so hard to risk another
00:29:18These days
00:29:21These days
00:29:23These 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
00:30:10These days
00:30:25All right
00:30:28I'm just
00:30:28I'm just gonna tell it to you
00:30:30Like it is
00:30:31God has given you
00:30:34Your blessing
00:30:35Which is your voice
00:30:36It is one of the greatest
00:30:39Unique sounds
00:30:40That you can ever ask for
00:30:42And
00:30:44You'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
00:30:52I feel like this was a complete opposite
00:30:55From last week
00:30:57You just seemed so in the moment
00:30:59So comfortable
00:31:00You looked like you just belonged
00:31:02Exactly where you're at
00:31:03It was
00:31:04Perfection
00:31:05Yeah
00:31:05Thank you so much
00:31:09Yeah
00:31:10I mean
00:31:11When I'm listening
00:31:12And my head just starts doing this
00:31:14It's like
00:31:14I mean
00:31:15I'm just so into it
00:31:16Like I'm not even

00:34:13Bound by wild desire

00:34:23I went down, down, down
00:34:27To the burning ring of fire
00:34:31Downtown, down, down
00:34:34And the things

00:36:32Good to see you, buddy.
00:36:33Thanks for being here.
00:36:34Pat, always great to see you.
00:36:37Yes, they're married and they work together and it works.
00:36:43Appreciate your generosity paying it forward with our contestants.
00:36:47Great job.
00:36:47Oh, absolutely.
00:36:48We love them there.
00:36:49I'm new adopted.
00:36:50Look at them all.
00:36:51Look at them.
00:36:53How could you not love them all?
00:36:55So, My Grandma and Grandpa Rock is a book you've got out, right?
00:37:00Yeah.
00:37:01Tell me about it.
00:37:02We have grandbabies.
00:37:03I can't believe it.
00:37:03I know that.
00:37:04We have grandbabies.
00:37:05And they're trying to figure out what we really do besides 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 with Brian Adams, Pat.
00:37:16Yes, we're going out this summer again with Brian Adams.
00:37:18Come see us.
00:37:20Very exciting.
00:37:21Love having you.
00:37:22Oh, you're good, man.
00:37:23Great to see you.
00:37:24Here's Pat Neal leading the way with Daniel Stallworth.
00:37:28Take a look.
00:37:30You look great.
00:37:31Hello, Daniel.
00:37:31How are you doing?
00:37:32Good to see you guys.
00:37:33How are you, too?
00:37:33Doing well.
00:37:35This round was definitely the hardest time I've had to choosing a song.
00:37:40I'll be performing Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.
00:37:43She says we've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this.
00:37:49This is my very first time performing a rock song.
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the dots.
00:37:56I forgot the word.
00:37:58I 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.
00:38:16Okay, so if you are, what I've got to do is super, really high thing.
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this.
00:38:22Try going like this.
00:38:24Because when you go up, you're pulling everything so tight.
00:38:29You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power than you ever need.
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon up to that point.
00:38:34People remember intros and they remember endings.
00:38:37And he's got to deliver that end.
00:38:39Going into the performance, I have a lot to work on.
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition, it will mean the world to me.
00:38:45And I want it to be one of the best performances that I've delivered.
00:38:50And I'm just going to keep working harder so I can get there.
00:38:57She said we've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:39:04Doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
00:39:08We've got each other and that's a life for love.
00:39:15We'll give it a shot.
00:39:18Come on, put some hands together.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:21Tom, he used to work on the dark.
00:39:26Junior's been no stride.
00:39:28He's down on his luck.
00:39:30It's tough.
00:39:33Ooh, so tough.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:39Gina works the diner all day.
00:39:43Working for her man.
00:39:45She brings all my pain for love.
00:39:54She says we've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:40:00It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
00:40:04We've got each other and that's a life for love.
00:40:10We'll give it a shot.
00:40:13We'll give it a shot.
00:40:14Oh, we're halfway there.
00:40:17Oh, living on a prayer.
00:40:22Take my hand.
00:40:24We'll make it, I swear.
00:40:26Oh, living on a prayer.
00:40:30Living on a prayer.
00:40:34Living on a prayer.
00:40:37We've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:40:42We're both of the sisters, y'all.
00:40:43Hold on.
00:40:44We've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:40:46We've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:40:48Hold on to what we've got.
00:40:49We've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:40:52Take my hand.
00:40:54We'll make it, I swear.
00:40:56Whoa.
00:40:59Living on a prayer.
00:41:01Baby, yeah.
00:41:20Watching, watching the, uh, your rehearsal time beforehand, I did not think I was gonna like it, and I was
00:41:27wrong.
00:41:28I could admit when I was wrong, and I was wrong. That was awesome.
00:41:31Thank you. Thank you so much.
00:41:35It, it was so you, it was so you. Keep being you. Make these things, make these songs come to
00:41:43you, and stay you. Work the room.
00:41:45I mean, I smiled all the time. You've got the magic, buddy. You've got the magic.
00:41:49Thank you. Thank you.
00:41:53The way to take Bon Jovi to church, my brother, to church.
00:41:58Okay.
00:42:02That's it for Daniel.
00:42:03You kicked it into another gear after rehearsal tonight.
00:42:08How'd that feel?
00:42:09Feels good.
00:42:10I bet it does. You've got five different ways to vote.

00:42:37And during the break, we're going live on Idol's Facebook and TikTok.
00:42:41You've got to check out what's going on backstage.
00:42:44We'll see you right here in just a second.
00:42:58Welcome back to Idol's Supercharged Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night.
00:43:02Coming up next.
00:43:24I am here for you, Seacrest.
00:43:34The Miz.
00:43:36What do you want to do?
00:43:37Fight me?
00:43:38Fight?
00:43:39Yeah.
00:43:40Do I want to fight Ryan Seacrest versus The Miz here on American Idol?
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:44Do you want to fight?
00:43:44Do I want to fight?
00:43:46No.
00:43:47Oh, I want to host.
00:43:56Miz, with all due respect, what do you know about hosting?
00:44:02Well, WrestleMania, Miz TV, and the upcoming American Gladiators?
00:44:06That's what I know about hosting.
00:44:08This is the show I host.
00:44:10So you just take a seat, enjoy the performances, and have some fun.
00:44:26Say it, Seacrest.
00:44:27Say it, Seacrest, I'm a big fan of yours.
00:44:34Don't miss all your favorite WWE stars this Sunday and Sunday in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 40.
00:44:41You can stream it on the ESPN app with the ESPN Unlimited plan.
00:44:47Take it away, Miz.
00:44:51All right, now let's get this started.
00:44:53She's ready to bring the heat.
00:44:55She's ready to bring the thunder.
00:44:57She's ready to bring the wonder.
00:44:58It's Kila Bridgerton!
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, and it made me really emotional.
00:45:13The next person through is Kila.
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, I'm yours, 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.
00:45:46Yes, yes.
00:45:46You know what I mean?
00:45:47Yes, girl.
00:45:47Here I am, baby.
00:45:50Trying to deliver, I'm yours, yeah.
00:45:53Yeah, yeah.
00:45:54That's it.
00:45:55She ran through it, and she did a great job.
00:45:57But it was like Stevie Wonder's version.
00:46:00So, thinking, 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 glennies.
00:46:21Yeah, I like that.
00:46:23Yeah, you like that?
00:46:31Like a fool, I went and stayed too long.
00:46:36Now I'm wondering if your love's too strong.
00:46:40Ooh, baby.
00:46:43Here I am.
00:46:44Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:46:46I'm yours, yeah.
00:46:51Yeah, any time I went and said goodbye.
00:46:55Now I'm back and I'm not ashamed to cry.
00:46:59Ooh, baby.
00:47:01Here I am.
00:47:02Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:47:04I'm yours.
00:47:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:07Say, say, here I am, baby.
00:47:11Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:47:13I'm yours, yeah.
00:47:15Ooh, here I am, baby.
00:47:20Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:47:21I'm yours, yeah.
00:47:25I've done a lot of foolish things
00:47:26that I really didn't mean.
00:47:29Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:35Ain't a lot of things in this old world.
00:47:39But when I touch them, they, they mean nothing, girl.
00:47:43Ooh, baby.
00:47:45Here I am.
00:47:46Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:47:48I'm yours.
00:47:49Yeah, yeah.
00:47:50Come on, pop your hand.
00:47:52Ooh, baby.
00:47:54Set my soul on fire.
00:47:56That's why you know your mind
00:47:58Hold any time, baby.
00:48:00Ooh, baby.
00:48:02Here I am.
00:48:03Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:48:05I'm yours.
00:48:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:09Here I am, baby.
00:48:12Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:48:14I'm yours.
00:48:15I'm yours.
00:48:16I'm yours.
00:48:17Here I am, baby.
00:48:19Here I am, baby.
00:48:21Signed, sealed, delivered.
00:48:23I'm yours.
00:48:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:24Oh, here I am, I'm sealed in the river
00:48:31I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours

00:52:53That you've done already
00:52:54And you're only 17
00:52:5618
00:52:5718
00:52:57We're in the 4th quarter
00:52:59I'm just telling you right now
00:53:004th quarter
00:53:00We're 70s in the 4th quarter
00:53:02It's okay
00:53:03It's always good to know
00:53:04Where you're at
00:53:05So Lucas is a young dude
00:53:06I'm always impressed
00:53:07That they're out there
00:53:08Doing it
00:53:17So why did you choose
00:53:19Benny and the Jets
00:53:20I'm a country-ish artist
00:53:21I'd like to say
00:53:22And I've done some
00:53:24Pretty safe picks
00:53:25But this round
00:53:26I just kind of want to
00:53:28Listen up a little bit
00:53:29And do something
00:53:30Nobody really saw coming
00:53:34That's great
00:53:34Fantastic
00:53:35I would have never expected
00:53:36That rasp to come out of years
00:53:37The intro of this song
00:53:38Could you just kind of
00:53:39Maybe 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
00:53:50Horrifyingly scary
00:53:51It is so important to do
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it
00:53:55It really gets you so far
00:54:03The thing that I'm most nervous about
00:54:04For this performance
00:54:05That's better
00:54:07Is yeah
00:54:08While I'm trying to switch it up
00:54:09And you know
00:54:10Bring a different vibe
00:54:11To the table this week
00:54:12I'm wondering how much
00:54:13Is too much
00:54:13Work 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
00:54:29Shake it loose
00:54:30Together the spot
00:54:32Life's hitting something
00:54:33That's been known
00:54:33To change the weather
00:54:34We'll kill the fatty
00:54:36At Cap tonight
00:54:37So stick around
00:54:41You're gonna hear
00:54:43The electric music
00:54:44Cause all the walls are sound
00:54:48Say Kenny and Ronnie
00:54:50And we sing to him
00:54:51Yeah
00:54:51Oh but the soul's messed up
00:54:54With the band and the chance
00:54:58Oh but the wind and the wonderful
00:55:01Oh man
00:55:03She's a really quick
00:55:05She's got a legit boot
00:55:07Her morning suit
00:55:08And now read it in the magazine
00:55:11And now it's no wrong
00:55:14P-P-P-P-Binny and a Jets
00:55:17I put the penny in the jests
00:55:29Oh, Kenny and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?
00:55:33Oh, but there's some space now
00:55:35B-b-b-b-b-p-Penny and a jet
00:55:40Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful
00:55:43Oh, man, you see the red king
00:55:46She's got electric boots, her money suit
00:55:49You know I read it in a magazine
00:55:52B-b-b-baby and a jet
00:55:59Oh, no, no, no, no
00:56:03Oh, Benny and a jet
00:56:06Oh, Benny
00:56:08B-b-b-baby and a jet
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 behind a big instrument,
00:56:55but you are entertaining still, and that was great.
00:56:58You do great.
00:56:59Thank you so much.
00:57:03I smile the whole time.
00:57:05You have this charisma thing that you can't go by anywhere in a store, anywhere.
00:57:11You've got the, you just make me happy.
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements, and, man, you just keep growing and keep surprising us.
00:57:20Unbelievable.
00:57:20Thank 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.
00:57:31You'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, vote for him right now.
00:57:39You can do so online or via social media.
00:57:42Text voting is available.
00:57:43Two subscribers of all carriers.
00:57:46Lucas Leon, America.
00:57:48Thank you so much.
00:57:52Next, Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo 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.
00:58:21Mm-hmm.
00:58:21I 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.
00:58:35And they want to sing along.
00:58:37Go and...
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, I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone, but kind of.
00:58:47Doesn't sound like it.
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens with the other song.
00:58:50Yeah, let's hear it and sing 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 where she could be more of like a performing art-ist.
00:58:59Message in a Bottle, yeah.
00:59:04It's more authentic to me in what I might write.
00:59:07You've got to pick what's going to make you the most comfortable.
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10Truly.
00:59:12I 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.
00:59:27Let'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 Idle before the break.
00:59:48We're on the edge of our seats wondering which song Kendall chose for the major moment here.
00:59:53We should go with Patton Neal's suggestion and perform The Police, or is it going to be Janis Joplin?
01:00:01Let's find out right now.
01:00:03America, give it up for Kendall.
01:00:16Make it feel like you were the only man.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:27Didn'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 gonna show you, baby
01:00:41That a woman can be tough
01:00:44I want you to come on, come on, come on
01:00:52Break it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:00:57Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, darling
01:01:04Help her, I've loved a little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:10You know you got it if it makes you feel good
01:01:17He's trying to tell myself I can't stand the pain
01:01:22That's when you hold me in your arms and I sing it once again
01:01:29Come on, come on, come on
01:01:34Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:41Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:48Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:54You know you got it if it makes you feel good
01:02:16How do you feel?
01:02:19It's been a weird week on The Voice, so you know what?
01:02:23We just did that, y'all
01:02:26Kendall, you have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30Or 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
01:02:35Like it was like, started out energetic
01:02:36And then it just kind of deflated
01:02:38Like the 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 like your attitude toward it
01:02:47Your voice is amazing
01:02:49Thank you
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
01:02:57And way to battle through
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
01:03:04So 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
01:03:16And then it gets all cattywampers
01:03:18You did a great job
01:03:20Thank you
01:03:20All right, don't let that get in your way
01:03:22Thank you
01:03:25Let's hear it for Kendall, everyone
01:03:30I did, I did

01:03:58Thank you
01:04:04He is still riding high off last week's triumph
01:04:07Can he deliver again with some platinum, a foreigner
01:04:10It'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
01:04:27Going 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 docs
01:04:39Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-blooded by Foreigner
01:04:43I think that a lot of times, especially young people
01:04:50They think that the higher they can get it
01:04:53That delivers some kind of power and it doesn't
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice
01:04:58Yes, Chris
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 when you're singing
01:05:04You'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
01:05:18And they're able to do it
01:05:19Let me talk to you about singing this song, okay
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
01:05:30What would I do if I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over here
01:05:33Oh, man
01:05:34I started something
01:05:44Ooh, yeah
01:05:48Yeah
01:05:50I'm happy
01:05:50Check it and see
01:05:52I got a fever
01:05:54I got a fever
01:05:55Of a hundred and three
01:05:57Come on, baby
01:05:58Do you do more than dance?
01:06:01I'm hot-blooded
01:06:02Hot-blooded
01:06:04Ooh
01:06:08You don't have to read my mind
01:06:11Know what I have in mind
01:06:14Honey
01:06:15Honey, you wanna know
01:06:17Honey, you wanna know
01:06:20Yeah, you move so far
01:06:24Let me play it on the line
01:06:27Hey, I wanna know
01:06:30What you're doing
01:06:31How to show
01:06:36Now it's up to you
01:06:38We can make a sleeping rendezvous
01:06:44Just me and you
01:06:46I'll show you loving like you never knew
01:06:51That's why I'm half-blooded
01:06:54Take it and see
01:06:56I got a fever
01:06:58Of a hundred and three
01:07:00Come on, baby
01:07:02Do you do more than that?
01:07:04I'm half-blooded
01:07:06Half-blooded
01:07:08Half-blooded
01:07:10Take it and see
01:07:12You wanna feel
01:07:14I'm a hundred and three
01:07:16Come on, baby
01:07:18Do you do more than that?
01:07:20Half-blooded
01:07:22Half-blooded
01:07:24Half-blooded
01:07:26Half-blooded
01:07:42Filming, wow, wow, wow
01:07:45On Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:07:47Those are the kind of songs I'm thinking we're going to hear
01:07:49Great song choice
01:07:50Listen, you know, just next time, too
01:07:53Just don't be scared to just be in the character of everything
01:07:57I think your in-ear monitor was kind of messing with you a little bit
01:08:00And it was throwing yunk
01:08:01Slid off a little bit
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there
01:08:03Get 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 thing 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
01:08:21Right after you mess with that ear, then 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'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
01:08:40Right, right, there you go
01:08:40I got you, I got you
01:08:41It's in there, it's in there
01:08:43Bring it, more, more, more
01:08:44I got you
01:08:44More, more, more
01:08:45Bring all that confidence
01:08:46Come in for a second, tell me
01:08:49Luke, Luke
01:08:50Mess up his hair a little bit
01:08:51Get it messed up, get in there
01:08:55The jacket's holding him back
01:08:56We've got to shake the jacket
01:08:58Anyway
01:08:58Mess up that way
01:08:59There you go, there you go
01:09:00Come on now
01:09:08Filmin wants to be in your top nine for Disney night next week
01:09:12Help him get there by voting right now online
01:09:14The attacks and across social
01:09:16You got the power, America
01:09:17Use it
01:09:19There is a lot of product in there
01:09:20Yes, I recognize that myself
01:09:22Filmin Lee, everyone
01:09:23Good job
01:09:24Thank you
01:09:30After this
01:09:31Another song from the soundtrack of our lives
01:09:34Hannah Harper is taking on Fleetwood Mac's Landslide
01:09:38Don't move
01:09:39We'll be right back
01:09:41We got it
01:09:50Look at this
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol
01:09:52Big hello right now to Daniel Official
01:09:54And 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
01:10:05On the American Idol Official Podcast
01:10:07This Wednesday on Hulu and Disney Plus
01:10:09And wherever you get your podcasts
01:10:12Now, here's the Meaning of the Minds
01:10:14With Pat, Neal, and Hannah
01:10:21Heads Carolina, Tails California
01:10:23Okay, Jodi Messina
01:10:24Last 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, we lived on a bus
01:10:42Nice
01:10:42Bluegrass, 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
01:10:51She 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 gotta 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 when 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
01:11:09Did 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
01:11:35So that's the hardest part right now
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard
01:11:37But if Pat did it, I can do it
01:11:38Do you have any other questions or any thoughts?
01:11:40Pat is 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
01:12:14Oh, mirror in the sky
01:12:19What is wrong?
01:12:23Can the child within my heart
01:12:26Rise above?
01:12:30Can I sail through the changing ocean tide?
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life?
01:12:44Oh
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
01:13:12And 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
01:14:02With 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
01:14:16It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it 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 award show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, Nick
01:14:31I appreciate it
01:14:34As they said
01:14:36And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:40We were all drawn into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work for you
01:14:44I appreciate it
01:14:46Praying for a bus
01:14:47Praying for a bus
01:14:48Praying for that bus

01:15:06Thank you
01:15:07One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:19Live right after this
01:15:31We 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 are closing out
01:15:38The performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:40From one of the greatest
01:15:41Fans of all time
01:15:43Queen
01:15:43It is coming from
01:15:45Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:49For Rock and roll
01:15:49Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I am 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
01:16:04So 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
01:16:22You don't always see that in rock and roll
01:16:23You're 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
01:16:45But just to tweak it a little bit
01:16:47Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat and Neil 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
01:17:00Is 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 ever
01:17:07That's weird
01:17:07I feel like I was in church
01:17:14Can anybody find me
01:17:18Somebody to love
01:17:28Each morning I get up
01:17:30I die
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:34Take a look in the mirror
01:17:37God what you do in me
01:17:40Spin all my ears
01:17:43Believe in you
01:17:44I just can't hear no relief
01:17:46Love somebody
01:17:48Somebody
01:17:49Ooh somebody

01:18:03Yeah

01:18:08But everybody wants to put me down
01:18:11Say I'm going crazy
01:18:14Say I've got a lot of water in the brain
01:18:17No common sense
01:18:19Nobody wants to believe
