00:05:17But first, here they are
00:05:19Helping Chris Thompson with his choice
00:05:21In 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 got this far, you must be doing something right
00:05:43Yeah, well, I don't know
00:05:43I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner
00:05:46You're as cold as ice
00:05:48It's a really hard song
00:05:50That's good, you're challenging yourself
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site
00:05:55My boss, he always plays, like, rock hits
00:05:57Chris is a great guy
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
00:06:10Make it like a
00:06:11That's good
00:06:12You're gonna pay
00:06:13Yeah
00:06:13Plus if you save it for that other time
00:06:15It's really good
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody
00:06:18This is, like, this is really unique
00:06:20So, uh, how are we sitting with the key?
00:06:23Uh, are we sure we don't want to go down 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
00:06:32That half-step
00:06:32Thank you
00:06:32There's a lot of pressure
00:06:33After the live shows
00:06:34There's millions of people watching
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Chris's last performance
00:06:38Wasn't up to where he wanted it to be
00:06:39So this one's really important
00:06:41Cold as ice
00:06:42He's gotta bring it
00:06:43Thank you
00:06:43Good luck, man
00:06:44You're so fun

00:07:11Someday you'll pay the price
00:07:14I know
00:07:14I've seen it before
00:07:17It happens all the time
00:07:19You're closing the door
00:07:21You leave the world behind
00:07:23You're digging for gold
00:07:25And throwing away
00:07:27Of fortune and feelings
00:07:29Cause someday you'll pay
00:07:33You're as cold as ice

00:09:19What I'm saying to you
00:09:20Attitude now
00:09:21From that point on
00:09:22It's all about

00:09:34For you
00:09:35I love the energy you came out with
00:09:37I feel like this is one of my favorite performances
00:09:39That you have done
00:09:40If not the favorite performance
00:09:42That you have done
00:09:42Wow
00:09:42Thank you
00:09:43Great way to kick us off man
00:09:45Thank you
00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front
00:09:49You kind of kept it down
00:09:50Kind of your style
00:09:51And then you got back to what the song originally is
00:09:55And you brought the energy
00:09:56And you just gave us a lot
00:09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you
00:09:59Did you have something blowing on your hair?
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans
00:10:04Yeah, something like that
00:10:05The Beyonce
00:10:05The T-Lo fans
00:10:06There you go
00:10:07You know, you got the hair

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
00:14:07Hey mom
00:14:08Hi mom
00:14:08Yeah
00:14:08How you doing
00:14:09Stop
00:14:10Don't cry
00:14:11Don't cry
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom
00:14:13She's doing great
00:14:15Oh my gosh
00:14:16Really meant a lot
00:14:18Really meant a lot
00:14:18To me and to her
00:14:20I love you mommy
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
00:14:25I am singing MacArthur Park
00:14:26By Donna Summer
00:14:27I saw that Carrie
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
00:14:48I am so grateful
00:14:49To sing on the stage again
00:14:51So I got to do it justice
00:14:53Again
00:14:56One suggestion
00:14:57Maybe
00:14:58Is very powerful
00:14:59Right
00:15:00Is 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 can
00:15:26You will find it
00:15:27And bring it today
00:15:28Thank you guys
00:15:28Yes you're welcome
00:15:36Spring was never waiting
00:15:39For a steer
00:15:41It ran one step ahead
00:15:44As we follow
00:15:45In the dance
00:15:48The Carpenter's Park
00:15:51Is melting
00:15:52In 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 that I can take it
00:16:10Cause it took so long to bake it
00:16:13And I'll never have that recipe
00:16:16Again
00:16:18Again
00:16:19Oh no
00:16:27I recall the yellow contrast
00:16:32Flowing like a man
00:16:36On the ground
00:16:38Beyond me
00:17:09The Carpenter's Park
00:17:10And I'll never have that recipe
00:17:11Again
00:17:12Oh no
00:17:22Oh no
00:17:23Oh no
00:17:24Oh no
00:17:25Oh no
00:17:27Oh no
00:17:29Never again
00:17:32No
00:17:51I love the drama
00:17:53It was just dramatic
00:17:55In all the right places
00:17:56And the dress
00:17:57And getting down
00:17:58You were telling a story
00:18:00I still don't know
00:18:01What that song means
00:18:03But you did a great job
00:18:05And you clocked me
00:18:08From my performance
00:18:10All them years ago
00:18:11So good job
00:18:12Thank you so much
00:18:16I feel so much better now
00:18:17Cause you performed it
00:18:18You don't know what it means
00:18:19I don't know what it means
00:18:20But it was great
00:18:22So I think a lot of my songs
00:18:24People don't know what they mean
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out
00:18:27But the bottom line 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
00:18:44And great job
00:18:45Yeah
00:18:46Yeah
00:18:49Just
00:18:50Just
00:18:51Just for the record
00:18:52Just for the record
00:18:53You're not supposed to know
00:18:55What it means
00:18:55It just goes
00:18:56Yeah
00:18:56It's a hit record
00:18:57It's a hit record
00:18:58By the way
00:18:59I love
00:18:59The fact that we're doing
00:19:01These songs
00:19:01Because these are classic hits
00:19:03And you are making it classic
00:19:05By turning these songs
00:19:06Into your song
00:19:08And that's what makes it special
00:19:09You're not afraid
00:19:11You're not afraid
00:19:12To put your stamp
00:19:13On that hit record
00:19:17Way to go Ray
00:19:19I always wondered
00:19:21Why the cake
00:19:21Was in the rain
00:19:23Why was the cake
00:19:24Out in the rain
00:19:25Couldn't take it
00:19:26Too long to bake it
00:19:28I'll never have that recipe again
00:19:30Carrie
00:19:31When you
00:19:31Watch that performance
00:19:33What do you remember
00:19:34About that night
00:19:35When you performed it
00:19:36Back in 2005
00:19:38I think
00:19:39I might have been told
00:19:41At the end
00:19:42I look like
00:19:42I look like
00:19:44I was from a dishwasher
00:19:45Powder commercial
00:19:47What
00:19:47I think I can guess
00:19:49To you guys
00:19:49Okay
00:19:51I can guess
00:19:52I think so
00:19:53Maybe it wasn't that one
00:19:55It might have been
00:19:55A blue dress
00:19:55I 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

00:20:01How did you change
00:20:02Your approach this week

00:20:07This week

00:20:08I was so present
00:20:09In this performance

00:20:34Class of 1989
00:20:36Here's some Stevie Wonder
00:20:38Coming from
00:20:39Brayden Rumpfelt
00:20:44So what are you singing today?
00:20:45Uh
00:20:46Superstition
00:20:46What made you decide
00:20:47To do this one?
00:20:48My brother texted me
00:20:49Yeah nobody wants to hear
00:20:50A slow song again
00:20:51Just go ahead
00:20:52And do something upbeat
00:20:54Like superstition
00:20:55So we kind of like
00:20:56Contradict each other
00:20:57But we're best friends
00:20:58We haven't even
00:20:59Had a fist fight
00:20:59Since like high school
00:21:01So
00:21:01Oh there is superstition
00:21:05Are you going to
00:21:05Handheld
00:21:06Are you going to say
00:21:06What do you think?

00:21:24Not one or three
00:21:26They do that
00:21:26I'll tell you
00:21:27That's why you should
00:21:27Never look out in the crowd
00:21:28Yeah it's like
00:21:29Looking on the front road
00:21:30At a funeral
00:21:30If you don't want to cry
00:21:32That's what I was doing
00:21:33Before this by the way

00:26:29Now 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
00:26:51Just 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
00:27:19And that's what it means to me
00:27:22Don'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
00:28:00The 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
00:28:30I 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
00:29:09Oh, I had a lover
00:29:14It's so hard to risk another
00:29:17These days
00:29:20These days
00:29:26Now if I seem to be afraid
00:29:29To live the life
00:29:31That I've made it so
00:29:34Oh, it's just that
00:29:40I'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
00:30:02These days
00:30:08These days
00:30:10These days
00:30:27All right
00:30:27I'm just
00:30:28I'm just going to tell it to you
00:30:30Like it is
00:30:31God has given you
00:30:34Your blessing
00:30:35Which is your voice
00:30:36It is one of the greatest
00:30:38It is one of the greatest
00:30:39Unique sounds
00:30:40That you can ever ask for
00:30:43And you'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
00:30:54Opposite from last week
00:30:56You just seemed so in the moment
00:30:59So comfortable
00:31:00You looked like you just belonged

00:31:03It was perfection
00:31:04Yeah
00:31:05Thank you so much
00:31:09Yeah
00:31:09I mean
00:31:11When I'm listening

00:31:14I mean
00:31:14I'm just so into it
00:31:16Like I'm not even

00:37:32Good to see you guys
00:37:33Doing well
00:37:34This round was definitely
00:37:37The hardest time I've had
00:37:39Choosing a song
00:37:40I'll be performing
00:37:41Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on
00:37:45To what we've got
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this
00:37:49This is my very first time
00:37:51Performing a rock song
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the docks
00:37:56I forgot the word
00:37:57I can't believe this is happening right now
00:38:00I feel like I made a few mistakes in there
00:38:02Living on a Prayer
00:38:09What's that high note?
00:38:10What is that note?
00:38:12Are you worried about that?
00:38:13No, that's what I want to know
00:38:15Maybe so, yes
00:38:15Okay, so if you are
00:38:16What I've got to do
00:38:17Super, really high thing
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this
00:38:21Try going like this
00:38:24Because when you go up
00:38:26You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power
00:38:31Than 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
00:38:37And 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'll 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

00:40:06And that's a line for love
00:40:10We'll give it a shot

00:44:58It's
00:44:59Keila Richardson
00:45:05Talk to us about this last performance
00:45:08At the end of the judges song contest
00:45:10I looked up and saw Drew
00:45:11And it made me really emotional
00:45:12The next person through
00:45:15Is
00:45:16Keila
00:45:19It's been a tough week
00:45:20But
00:45:21I didn't think I was gonna make it through
00:45:22But I made it through
00:45:24The emotional release
00:45:25That means you gave it everything
00:45:27That's what I did
00:45:28And it's exactly what you gotta do
00:45:29With Signed, Sealed, and Deliver
00:45:30Here I am

00:45:44To my two grown daughters

00:45:54That's it
00:45:55She ran through it
00:45:56And she did a great job
00:45:57But it was
00:45:58It was like Stevie Wonder's version
00:46:00So they can
00:46:01You gotta twist it up a little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if
00:46:04They could do an intro
00:46:05Singing verse
00:46:06As a ballad
00:46:07Slow
00:46:08Like in other words
00:46:09Second verse
00:46:11Seen a lot of things
00:46:13In this whole world
00:46:15I think that was a great decision
00:46:17When I said that
00:46:18I said
00:46:18Oh I see why y'all got a lot of glannies

00:52:39I'm blessed.
00:52:40Now with another rock hit by an icon from the class of 1994,
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?
00:52:5718.
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.
00:53:04So Lucas is a young dude, man.
00:53:07I'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 on the chains of 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 loosen 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 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,
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,
00:53:52it is so important to do.
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it,
00:53:55it really gets you so far.
00:54:02The 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
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.
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, solid walls of sound.
00:54:48Yeah, I can't hear Ronnie every scene to him, yeah.
00:54:52Oh, but the soul is messed up.
00:54:54Oh, but the baby and the jet.
00:54:58Oh, but the wind and the wonderful.
00:55:02Oh, man, she's a red king.
00:55:05She's got electric boots and a moist suit.
00:55:08You know, already in a magazine.
00:55:12You know, it's no longer.
00:55:14Oh, but the baby and the jet.
00:55:18Oh, but the baby and the jet.
00:55:29Oh, but the baby and the jet.
00:55:30Oh, can you hear Ronnie every scene?
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:33Oh, but the sun space now.
00:55:36But, but, but, but, but, but, can you hear the jet?
00:55:39Oh, but the wind and the wonderful.
00:55:43Oh, man, to see the rhythm came.
00:55:46She's got electric boots and a moist suit.
00:55:49You know I read it in a magazine
00:55:52I'm far, far, far
00:55:55B-b-b-b-banny and the Jess
00:55:59Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
00:56:02Benny and the Jess
00:56:08Benny, Benny and the Jess
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 were 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 were entertaining still, and that was great.
00:56:58Thank you so much.
00:57:02I smiled the whole time.
00:57:05You have this charisma thing that you can't go by anywhere in a store, anywhere.
00:57:11You just make me happy.
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements,
00:57:16and, man, you just keep growing and keep surprising us.
00:57:20Unbelievable.
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.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:31He just makes people happy when you watch him, right?

00:57:46Lucas Leon, America.
00:57:48Thank you so much.
00:57:53Next, Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo help Kendall land on the perfect song for the moment.
00:57:58Check it out.
00:58:02Last week's performance, definitely very far from my favorite I've ever done in my life.
00:58:07I was just in my head, and for a second I forgot to just be Kendall.
00:58:12At this stage in the competition, there's just not room for mediocre performances.
00:58:16I have to step it up.
00:58:17What are you going to sing?
00:58:18I'm trying to decide between two songs right now.
00:58:20I would be either singing Message in a Bottle by the Police or Peace of My Heart by Janice
00:58:25Johnson.
00:58:26Take it!
00:58:27I loved Kendall's voice.
00:58:29I loved her whole demeanor.
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart, it's a classic rock song.
00:58:34Everybody knows it, and they want to sing along.
00:58:40That's fun.
00:58:41That's awesome.
00:58:42That's great.
00:58:43That's great.
00:58:44This is like, I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone, but kind of.
00:58:47Does it sound like it?
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens with the other song.
00:58:50Yeah, let's try and sing the other one.
00:58:51Oh, yeah, I'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.
00:59:03It's more authentic to me in what I might write.
00:59:06You've got to pick what's going to make you the most comfortable.
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10Truly.
00:59:11I am a little bit in my head about this week.
00:59:14Song choice is really important.
00:59:15Okay, let me just say this.
00:59:16Yeah, please help.
00:59:17If you want to make a splash, do Message in a Bottle.
00:59:21No way.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:26Let's find out which song it is.
00:59:30Kendall takes the stage live right after this.
00:59:32Hang tight.
00:59:45You are like live on Idol.
00:59:47Before the break, we'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.
01:00:16It feels like you were the only man.
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:27Didn't I give you everything a woman possibly can?
01:00:31Honey, I did.
01:00:33He's trying to tell myself that I've had enough.

01:04:58yes the rasp is great thank you but i'm thinking we take it down a half step because it just
01:05:02sounds
01:05:03like when you're singing you're not really comfortable getting that note so you're backing
01:05:06off the mic and just bringing it down enough gives them enough confidence and they're able to do it

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
01:08:01Slid 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

01:08:18You follow me?

01:09:49Look at this
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol
01:09:52Big hello right now to Danielle Fischel
01:09:54And Idol's OG rocker Constantine Maroulas
01:09:58Good to see you brother
01:10:00Good to see you again
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 Plus
01:10:09And wherever you get your podcast
01:10:12Now here's the meeting of the minds with Pat
01:10:15Neil
01:10:15And Hannah
01:10:21Heads Carolina
01:10:22Tails California
01:10:23Okay Jody Messina
01:10:24Last week I got online and I saw Jody Messina watching me sing her song
01:10:28Okay Hannah
01:10:29You'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
01:10:41Yes
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
01:10:51She has a beautiful voice
01:10:53Kind of forgot I had a guitar on me there first
01:10:54I 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 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
01:11:32So 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?
01:11:40That's a pro
01:11:42You 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
01:12:14Oh, 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
01:12:43Oh, oh
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
01:13:23Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:58That was a classic song
01:14:01With a classic performance
01:14:04Amazing
01:14:06Hannah, absolutely gorgeous
01:14:08Like perfect song for you to choose
01:14:10And just the way
01:14:11I mean, I know we say
01:14:12You made it your own
01:14:12But it, I mean, it sounded
01:14:14It sounded like you
01:14:15It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like
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
01:14:34As they said
01:14:35And 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
01:14:45Praying for a bus

01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:18Live right after this
01:15:32We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:37And we're closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest fans
01:15:41Of all time
01:15:42Queen
01:15:43It's coming from
01:15:45Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I'm going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love
01:15:51By Queen
01:15:52Which morning I get up
01:15:54I die a little
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
01:16:06Can I get the words actually
01:16:07And I want to get the song right
01:16:09I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself
01:16:14In Rock and Roll
01:16:15And I feel like me as 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 that worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment in church
01:16:28You have to command that stage
01:16:31Okay
01:16:35Jordan's instrument is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples
01:16:39Of a person
01:16:39Who literally has control
01:16:41Of 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 in there
01:16:45Just to tweak it a 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 too 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 ever
01:17:07That's worth it
01:17:07I feel 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 you do
01:17:39God what you do in me
01:17:40Spin all my years
01:17:42Believe in you
01:17:44I just can't get a relief
01:17:46Lord
01:17:47Somebody
01:17:48Somebody
01:17:49Somebody
01:17:50Somebody
01:17:50Can anybody find me
01:17:54Somebody to love
01:18:02We work hard every day
01:18:04And I try and I try and I try
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 want in the brain
01:18:17No common sense
01:18:19Nobody loves to believe

01:19:36That was so much fun, Jordan.
01:19:39You just proved, like, you don't have this, like, gruff, like, rock voice coming out here, you know?
01:19:47Your voice is suited to, obviously, what you do for a living, but you just proved that anyone can rock.
01:19:56That's all right.
01:19:57Thank you, Carrie.
01:19:59Everything about that was what American Idol is all about.
01:20:04You doing that, watching your fellow, watching your competition cheer you on and love on you, and they've had a
01:20:14great night.
01:20:15Everybody's had a great night, and that was what we sit here behind the desk for right there.
01:20:21Thank you, Rick.

01:20:29I am telling you, it was amazing.
01:20:32Thank you so much.
01:20:34It started strong, and wow, what a finish.
