00:00:02Ryan, seriously, why do we have to dress up?
00:00:06Luke, Luke Skywalker, come on.
00:00:09We're in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
00:00:12I don't know about these boots.
00:00:14I kind of love my buns.
00:00:19Oh my gosh, the leaders of the Rebel Alliance are coming, y'all.
00:00:22Should we hide?
00:00:23Nice disguise, Rebel.
00:00:25Thanks, I learned it from the best.
00:00:27Well, Luke Skywalker, I've always wanted to meet you.
00:00:30May the Force be with you, Padawan.
00:00:36Wow, that was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
00:00:40Why didn't you dress up as Chewbacca?
00:00:42We could have gotten a group photo.
00:00:44Chewbacca is like seven feet tall.
00:00:47Oh, so that's why you're Yoda.
00:00:50Judge me by my size, do you?
00:00:54It's better to be on the short side.
00:00:56than the dark side.
00:00:58Right?
00:00:58The dark side of the Force is so overrated.
00:01:01I mean, it's real weak sauce, if you ask me.
00:01:15I'll bust you up.
00:01:23I find your lack of faith disturbing.
00:01:27Oh, no.
00:01:29You've misunderstood me.
00:01:31That is jokes.
00:01:32I got jokes.
00:01:33I got jokes.
00:01:34This guy.
00:01:38Okay, the power of the dark side is a little intimidating.
00:01:43I'm not going to lie.
00:01:46But the power of the vote is in your hands, America.
00:01:50Want to see my cool lightsaber trick?
00:01:53This is Disney Night, and this is America Night.
00:02:11We're so excited to have you for Disney Night.
00:02:14Voting for your top nine is open.
00:02:16So use the power of the vote and get started.
00:02:20Now, I invite you to relax, pull up the chair,

00:03:20Good luck.
00:03:23Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
00:03:26You look beautiful tonight, Carrie.
00:03:32Oh, yeah.
00:03:34By the way, Luke, thank you for having my back there with Darth Vader.
00:03:37Oh, yeah, I had you.
00:03:38Very, very gentle.
00:03:39Darth was done.
00:03:40Yes.
00:03:41He had a feeling.
00:03:42You'll notice a fourth chair there on the panel.
00:03:45That's because tonight we welcome back to the Idol stage to be our guest judge,
00:03:49the world's youngest female EGOT winner and Idol royalty herself, Jennifer Hudson.
00:04:14We're good to see you.

00:04:44Thank you so much.
00:04:49Got our Founders Club here tonight.
00:04:51How's it feel to be in that seat, Jennifer?
00:04:54I always wanted to know what was behind this judging panel.
00:04:58Snacks.
00:04:59Is it snacks?
00:05:00Pretzels and peanuts and chocolate.
00:05:03Yes, that's what's back there.
00:05:04Not only is Jennifer our guest judge for the evening, but earlier this week she met with
00:05:09the top nine to mentor them on their Disney song picks.
00:05:12Plus, the finalists got the VIP treatment when they visited Disneyland Resort for some
00:05:17magical moments.

00:05:48And I do mean anywhere.
00:05:51So play along.
00:05:52Hi.
00:05:53See how many you can find.
00:05:55Looking good, Phil.
00:05:57Now kicking things off with Daniel Stalworth.
00:06:01It's his signature song from Aladdin.
00:06:03Let's go.
00:06:06I'm so excited about being here at Disneyland.
00:06:08I feel like a big kid.
00:06:12Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission Breakout.
00:06:14I felt my heart go up and down.
00:06:19Oh, man, my family, they support me 100%.
00:06:21They called me today.
00:06:22They kind of hated they couldn't be here.
00:06:24That's my God.
00:06:25But I have my other family here.
00:06:26The hopefuls here of American Idol.
00:06:28I appreciate them for just being the family away from home.
00:06:33Disneyland was incredible, but I'm super excited to meet the one and only Jennifer Hudson.
00:06:38Like, when did you discover your voice, your gift of singing?
00:06:41I started singing in church about the age of five.
00:06:43You sound like you preach, too.
00:06:44I am a preacher.
00:06:46I can show you the world.
00:06:48I started preaching at the age of 11 and 27 now.
00:06:53I'm singing a whole new world from Aladdin.
00:06:56I want to feel some of them gospel rules come out this song even more.
00:06:59Ah.
00:07:00When I heard Daniel sing, it was almost too fast.
00:07:04It sounds like you're ministering while you're talking.
00:07:06Wow.
00:07:07I want to feel that in a song.
00:07:09Take your time with it and really speak to us through this song.
00:07:13A whole new world.
00:07:16Already, the way you just took your time with that last section you just did, that's what
00:07:21I'm talking about.
00:07:21For you.
00:07:23I look at being on American Idol as a whole new world.
00:07:27It's life-changing, so it makes me want to stay.
00:07:44I can show you the world.
00:07:48Take you wonder by wonder over, sideways and under, on the magic carpet ride.
00:08:01A whole new world.
00:08:05A whole new world.
00:08:07A new fantastic point of view.
00:08:11No one to tell us no or where to go.
00:08:17Let me share this whole new world with you.
00:08:26Unbelievable sight, indescribable feeling, soaring, tumbling, freewheeling, through an endless diamond sky.
00:08:42A whole new world, a whole new world, a hundred thousand things to see.
00:08:52I'm like a shooting star.
00:08:56I've come so far.
00:08:58I can't go back to where I used to be.
00:09:04Every turn of surprise.
00:09:08A whole new world, a whole new world, a whole new world, a whole new world, that's where we'll be.
00:09:32That's where we'll be.
00:09:35A thrilling chase, a wondrous place, for you and me.
00:09:51Whoa-oh-oh-oh.
00:10:08What, what, the advice that, the advice that Jennifer gave you, you took to heart.
00:10:16Hmm.
00:10:17Your sermon was amazing.
00:10:19Well.
00:10:19And more importantly, it was so natural.
00:10:23My God.
00:10:23You were just giving God's gift to us, and it was so powerful, the way you delivered.
00:10:30Congratulations, Daniel.
00:10:31Thank you so much.
00:10:32Thank you so much.
00:10:33Can I give an amen?
00:10:36Daniel, I was so excited when I saw that you were going to sing this song tonight, because I knew
00:10:41you would crush it.
00:10:42And I was right.
00:10:43That was, it felt like it was made for you and your voice.
00:10:46Right.
00:10:46And it just seemed so easy and just, muah, beautiful.
00:10:50Thank you so much.
00:10:54All I want to say is, the doors of the church are now open.
00:10:58There you go.
00:10:59After that performance, you ministered, you owned it, you sang from Yo Shindo.
00:11:06Y'all may not know what that means, but he does.
00:11:08You know what I mean?
00:11:09My Shindo is there.
00:11:10Yes.
00:11:10And I felt it, and you took every note that I gave you.
00:11:14You did that, baby.
00:11:16You did that, baby.
00:11:22Can you teach me to sing, Jennifer, please?
00:11:27Daniel, I love your charisma, your style, the way you navigate.
00:11:32Everything you do is so well done.
00:11:35I mean, you're, since day one, we've seen you.
00:11:38You've just got it all, you've got it all hooked up and put together.
00:11:41And you started at one level of that song, and then you really started showing out at the end.
00:11:47And that's what we've seen you do.
00:11:48You're just amazing.
00:11:49Great job.
00:11:50Thank you, man.
00:11:54Setting the tone tonight.
00:11:55Nice work.
00:11:57Do you know what a Shindo is?
00:11:59Shindo is the Holy Ghost on the inside.
00:12:02Holy Ghost on the inside.
00:12:03For anybody that wasn't following along, wanted him to know what the Shindo is.
00:12:06Oh, he could tell you better than I can.
00:12:08Yeah, it's the Holy Ghost.
00:12:09It's like fire up in my eyes.
00:12:11There you go.
00:12:11Shut up in your bones.
00:12:12I have to come out.
00:12:13Yes, sir.
00:12:14I feel the heat.
00:12:15Yeah, you feel it?

00:12:18Don't I look good?
00:12:19You look good?
00:12:22Now, your mom's been sending you care packages while you've been here, right?

00:12:26What's she sending you?
00:12:26Well, she sends me food, and she sends me, like, cologne and stuff.
00:12:29She wants me to smell good.
00:12:30You do.
00:12:31You have a great, great scent to you, so thank you.
00:12:34Roger, do you have what she just sent us to give to you?
00:12:37Wow.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:38I like the jacket.
00:12:39Nice.

00:13:19How are you?
00:13:20I'm a hugger.
00:13:21Can I give you a hug?
00:13:22Yeah, that's good.
00:13:22All right.
00:13:23The mentor this week is Jennifer Hudson.
00:13:27What?
00:13:27Good outfit for today.
00:13:28Did I do all right?
00:13:29Yeah, it's freezing in here.
00:13:30It is.
00:13:31Yeah, yeah.
00:13:32You know why?
00:13:33Why?
00:13:33It's for the voice.
00:13:34How do you do?
00:13:35Well, I don't usually have a problem with it, but yesterday I was screaming on roller coasters,
00:13:39so.
00:13:40You gotta say your voice.
00:13:46Okay.
00:13:47Did you have fun?
00:13:48Yeah, it was a good time.
00:13:49I brought my sister with me today.
00:13:52I'm having so much fun.
00:13:53We're in a good truck.
00:13:55I'm super happy.
00:13:57We're best friends.
00:13:58Yes!
00:14:00Oh, my God.
00:14:01For Disney week, I'm singing Remember Me from the movie Coco.
00:14:05So, I'm kind of dedicating the song to my family.
00:14:07I miss my family a lot.
00:14:09Hopefully, I remember the words.
00:14:10Hold on.
00:14:10Let me run through this in my head.
00:14:11Okay.
00:14:14I knew the lyrics.
00:14:16I was very confident about that.
00:14:18And then,
00:14:20Remember me.
00:14:22Getting next to her and talking freaks me out.
00:14:25I was so nervous.
00:14:29Hey, what's up?
00:14:30Dang it.
00:14:30I'm sorry.
00:14:31That was embarrassing.
00:14:32I love his voice.
00:14:34I do need him to focus a little bit more.
00:14:37Reel it in.
00:14:38The world only knew the little amount of time we have to prepare for something.
00:14:43Right, right.
00:14:44But they don't.
00:14:44And they're going to judge you just the same.
00:14:46Don't worry.
00:14:47Don't let me down, Brayden.
00:14:48Because I'm not worried at all.
00:14:48I'm not sweating.
00:14:49I see.
00:14:50I mean, I'm sweating a little bit just because I'm nervous, but not because of this.
00:14:54Brayden, I just want you to remember your lyrics.
00:14:57I will do it.
00:14:58I'm going to be looking him upside his head like, Brayden, are you there, baby?
00:15:02You ready?
00:15:03Because tonight is the night.
00:15:08Are you ready?
00:15:10I'm ready.
00:15:12Brayden gets his Disney moments live right after this.
00:15:16Hang tight.
00:15:26Big smiles.

00:18:47Kind of presence when you sing
00:18:49And it's really refreshing to watch

00:19:16I really think you are a star
00:19:18Isn't he a star, y'all?
00:19:20Wow
00:19:20In many ways
00:19:22Like
00:19:23You captivated me
00:19:25Just sitting in your rehearsal alone
00:19:27And you
00:19:27Didn't he not captivate you just now, guys?
00:19:30Watching him perform
00:19:31You brought us into you
00:19:33I felt like I was in the scene
00:19:34From the movie
00:19:36You know what I mean?
00:19:36And you did an excellent job
00:19:38And I hope to see you again
00:19:40Back next week
00:19:45Yeah, that
00:19:46That was a very challenging
00:19:48Tricky song
00:19:49That didn't
00:19:50We've seen you come out
00:19:52And sing big moments
00:19:53But that thing was tender
00:19:55A lot of movements
00:19:56A lot of chords
00:19:57In this high-pressure scenario
00:19:59You did a great job
00:20:01Creating the mood
00:20:03And showing us
00:20:04Things that you can do
00:20:06In the future
00:20:07I saw a lot in your future
00:20:08In that performance
00:20:09You know how hard it is
00:20:15To have the band behind you
00:20:17And your voice is all that's out there
00:20:19And for you to navigate that
00:20:21With your false setter
00:20:22Going into your natural head voice
00:20:24I think you did so well on that
00:20:26By the way, that was very
00:20:27As Luke said
00:20:27Tricky
00:20:28But thank God
00:20:29You remember the lyrics
00:20:30So it was alright, huh?

00:21:36Now we're shifting things
00:21:38In overdrive
00:21:38With Lucas Leon's visit
00:21:40To Cars Land
00:21:42In Disney's
00:21:43California Adventure Park
00:21:44Here we go
00:21:47Today I'm here with my mom
00:21:48When I was real young
00:21:50She took me to Disney World
00:21:52So it's pretty cool
00:21:53To be able to go to
00:21:54Disneyland with her
00:21:55We're in Radiator Springs
00:21:57Tell me more about Cars
00:21:58We're about to go ride
00:22:00Radiator Springs Racers
00:22:01I'm a big Cars fan
00:22:02So this is awesome for me
00:22:04I think walking through
00:22:06Radiator Springs
00:22:06Is the perfect way
00:22:07To prepare
00:22:08To sing in Life is a Highway
00:22:09Life is a Highway
00:22:12Okay
00:22:12I want to ride me
00:22:14All night long
00:22:16Mentor this week
00:22:17Is Jennifer Hudson
00:22:18It's awesome
00:22:19I respect her
00:22:20In every single way
00:22:21Life is a Highway
00:22:22And why did you choose
00:22:22That song?
00:22:23Well it's Disney night
00:22:24And I'm a big car guy
00:22:25And the movie Cars
00:22:27Grew up on it
00:22:28Watch it over and over
00:22:29This guy's my buddy
00:22:29Right here
00:22:31Life is a Highway
00:22:34You are such an old soul
00:22:36Oh thank you
00:22:37Thanks
00:22:37Like you have such great
00:22:38Instinct and presence
00:22:39In your music
00:22:40I got one note
00:22:41Yeah
00:22:42Look at the crowd
00:22:43Cause it felt like
00:22:44A way you could
00:22:44Bring in the room
00:22:45Yeah
00:22:46You know what I mean
00:22:46Yeah
00:22:47You feel that instinctively
00:22:49Right
00:22:49Yeah
00:22:50Life is a
00:22:51Lucas needs to look
00:22:52At the crowd
00:22:52So I gave him an assignment
00:22:54I'm gonna sit there
00:22:54And I sat in the judge's chair
00:22:56Yes I did
00:22:57That's what it looked like
00:22:58Back here
00:22:59Oh my god
00:23:00I'm on American Idol
00:23:04I want to see you over here
00:23:07Bring me your eyes
00:23:10I got an idea
00:23:11Because you are holding the instrument
00:23:13I think it would be good
00:23:14To put it in your vocal
00:23:15Where you're like
00:23:16Everybody sing
00:23:17Life is a
00:23:18And fall back into that hook
00:23:20He got the vocals
00:23:21He got the instrument
00:23:22He has to have the presence
00:23:25I'm gonna be cheering you on
00:23:26If I'm proud of you already
00:23:28Young man
00:23:28I need Lucas to own the stage
00:23:31Like it is a highway
00:23:38We won't hesitate
00:23:41To break down the garden gate
00:23:43There's not much time left today
00:23:58Life's like the road that you traveled on
00:24:00Just one day here and the next day gone
00:24:03Sometimes you bend
00:24:04Sometimes you stare
00:24:05Sometimes you turn you back to the wind
00:24:08There's a world outside
00:24:09Every darkened door
00:24:10The blues won't haunt you anymore
00:24:12Well the brave are free
00:24:14And the love of soul
00:24:15Come ride with me to the distant shore
00:24:17We won't hesitate
00:24:20To break down the garden gate
00:24:22There's not much time left today
00:24:25Yeah
00:24:26Life is a highway
00:24:29I want to ride you all night long
00:24:34If you're going my way
00:24:39I want to ride you all night long
00:24:43I want to ride you all night long
00:24:47There was a distance between you and I
00:24:53Between you and I
00:24:58Misunderstanding once and now
00:25:02Look it in the eye
00:25:07All night long
00:25:08Come on
00:25:09All night
00:25:10I want to drive you all night long
00:25:13All night long
00:25:18All night long
00:25:19All night long
00:25:21All night
00:25:21Because life is a highway
00:25:27Start being a highway
00:25:30I want to drive you all night long
00:25:37Cause life is a highway
00:25:39I want to drive you all night long
00:25:44My heart is a highway
00:26:04Wow
00:26:07Wow
00:26:07Look at you Lucas
00:26:09You took every note
00:26:11You owned the stage
00:26:13You turned the stage, this moment
00:26:15Into your concert
00:26:16I felt like I was at your concert
00:26:18Thank you so much
00:26:20You are well on your way young man
00:26:22Continue to just trust your instinct
00:26:25Because you have an instinct
00:26:27That you couldn't even pay for
00:26:29That's what's going to get you further
00:26:30On that highway that you are already on
00:26:32And you took us right with you
00:26:34Yeah
00:26:39I love at such a young age
00:26:41You're just comfortable in all these moments
00:26:44You're so watchable to watch
00:26:46You don't do anything to make us go
00:26:50It's always like
00:26:51It's always like
00:26:52Oh my gosh
00:26:53Look at him
00:26:53He's got an electric
00:26:54He's got an electric this week
00:26:56Last week was a piano
00:26:57And you did chords last week
00:26:59So just keep having your confidence
00:27:01And like I said
00:27:03Stay on this highway
00:27:04You're tearing it up
00:27:05Yeah
00:27:06Yeah
00:27:07Yeah
00:27:07Yeah
00:27:07One thing
00:27:09The one thing I want to tell you
00:27:11Is that we come to the show
00:27:12As artists
00:27:13To see what the crowd's going to do
00:27:15They come to the show
00:27:17To see what we're going to do
00:27:18Give them everything you know how to do
00:27:21Or in other words
00:27:21Grab that microphone
00:27:23Walk across the stage
00:27:24Give me some attitude
00:27:25Give me more attitude
00:27:26Yes sir
00:27:26And you'll be there
00:27:30I mean
00:27:31Ditto to everything they just said
00:27:33But that was joyful
00:27:34You were up there
00:27:35You were having fun
00:27:36And I feel like you weren't
00:27:37In your head about it
00:27:39And it was just entertaining
00:27:40It was fun to watch
00:27:41It was
00:27:41It was fun
00:27:42It was good
00:27:43Yeah
00:27:44Thank you
00:27:46Taking control of the stage
00:27:47Nice work
00:27:49So
00:27:50Compare the 18-year-old Luke Bryan
00:27:53To Lucas here
00:27:55He's doing a little better
00:27:56Than all this
00:27:57Lucas
00:27:57But
00:27:58Not true
00:27:59Yeah well the thing is
00:28:00I mean
00:28:01Just to have the confidence
00:28:02I remember when I moved to Nashville
00:28:03And playing these big rooms
00:28:05I mean
00:28:05I would not look confident
00:28:07So the fact that he's able to just
00:28:09Be cool
00:28:10Chill
00:28:10Calm
00:28:11And collective
00:28:11And all that
00:28:12That is really impressive
00:28:13Instinct and confidence
00:28:15Well done
00:28:15Great performance

00:30:01I love all of that energy
00:30:03You get me
00:30:04Say that
00:30:05I was extremely embarrassed

00:30:08My whole body was hot
00:30:09Oh lord have mercy
00:30:10I was like I had to stop

00:30:22Is super helpful
00:30:23Just cause it reminds me
00:30:24Like that's my comfort zone
00:30:26Acting like I'm just
00:30:26Singing to my babies
00:30:27And just carrying on
00:30:28And that will change
00:30:29Everything for me
00:30:30Oh I see Mickey
00:30:31I think that having a day
00:30:32To get to go spend
00:30:33At Disneyland
00:30:33Was so nice
00:30:35And just to watch
00:30:36Their faces light up
00:30:37It's gonna help me
00:30:37Get into character
00:30:38Okay go ahead I'm you
00:30:40Jennifer took on the character
00:30:41And I'm almost there
00:30:44Look at that
00:30:45I was like okay
00:30:46This is exactly what
00:30:47The point is
00:30:48Watching her
00:30:48I was just like
00:30:49I gotta bring it
00:30:49People down here
00:30:50Think I'm crazy
00:30:53But I don't care
00:30:55You see what I'm saying
00:30:56Moving on the stage
00:30:58Is like outside
00:30:59Of Hannah's element
00:31:00But this is it
00:31:01It doesn't get any bigger
00:31:02Than this
00:31:02It's time to perform
00:31:04I know she can do this
00:31:05No pressure
00:31:06But have fun
00:31:07And embrace them
00:31:08In a moment
00:31:08You look like
00:31:09A Disney princess
00:31:10Don't you feel like
00:31:10A Disney princess
00:31:14Don't you feel like
00:31:15Mama
00:31:15I don't have time
00:31:17For dancing
00:31:19That's just gonna
00:31:20Have to wait a while
00:31:23Ain't got time
00:31:25For messing around
00:31:27And it's not my style
00:31:31This old town
00:31:33Can slow you down
00:31:35People taking the easy way
00:31:41But I know exactly
00:31:43Where I'm going
00:31:45Getting closer and closer
00:31:47Every day
00:31:48And I'm almost there
00:31:51I'm almost there
00:31:54People down here
00:31:56Think I'm crazy
00:31:58But I don't care
00:32:00But I don't care
00:32:02Trials and tribulations
00:32:04I've had my share
00:32:07But there ain't nothing
00:32:10Gonna stop me now
00:32:11Cause I'm almost there
00:32:14I remember daddy told me
00:32:17Fairy tales can come true
00:32:22You've gotta make them happen
00:32:25It all depends on you
00:32:27So I work real hard
00:32:29Each and every day
00:32:31And things for sure
00:32:33Are going my way
00:32:34Just doing what I do
00:32:38Look out boys
00:32:40Cause I'm coming through
00:32:42And I'm almost there
00:32:45Oh, I'm almost there
00:32:49People gonna come here
00:32:52From everywhere
00:32:53And I'm almost there
00:32:56There's been trials
00:33:00And tribulations
00:33:03You know I've had my share
00:33:09Climbed a mountain
00:33:10And I crossed a river
00:33:12And I'm almost there
00:33:15I'm almost there
00:33:18Oh, I'm almost there
00:33:23I'm almost there
00:33:25Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:33:28Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:33:42Whoo!
00:33:45Ha, ha, ha
00:33:49Well, we still have, like, streamers still happening
00:33:53There we go.
00:33:53That one went down.
00:33:54There you go.
00:33:55I loved it.
00:33:56I loved it.
00:33:57It made my heart smile.
00:33:59It made me smile watching you grow into, like, you kind of started with this Reba McIntyre attitude thing.
00:34:08And then you grew into your character.
00:34:11And you didn't overdo anything.
00:34:13You did it perfectly like your personality that we know you is.
00:34:19And I loved it.
00:34:20One of my favorite performances you've ever done.
00:34:23Very good.
00:34:26If I have to say ditto, ditto, that's a ditto.
00:34:30But I'm going to give you a little hint about something.
00:34:32I learned this a long time ago.
00:34:34What you do is whatever you're going to wear on stage, shoes, whatever shoes you're going to wear on stage,
00:34:42right, make sure you wear them in rehearsal.
00:34:46So that your shoes don't scare you to death when you start moving.
00:34:49Otherwise, I saw you concentrating on how much can I dare on that step.
00:34:54Otherwise, your performance was amazing.
00:34:59I've said this before, and I will say it again.
00:35:01I mean, this is another way that you remind me of myself because I got dragged when I was on
00:35:07this show for not moving enough.
00:35:09And honestly, it was just I had never done anything like this before.
00:35:14And now I can't not move.
00:35:16Like, I sing with my entire body.
00:35:18So I feel like you are on your way.
00:35:20Just keep taking those steps.
00:35:22Keep getting more comfortable in the space that you're in.
00:35:25You were in character.
00:35:26You sounded beautiful.
00:35:27You look gorgeous.
00:35:28You should be very proud.
00:35:34Everything, everything they just said and more.
00:35:37You look absolutely beautiful, first of all.
00:35:39And I love how you were natural and true to yourself in this in this moment.
00:35:46And I know that's not your cup of tea to be able to perform and sing.
00:35:49But you stood there and you sang that song and you gave us a little bit here and there.
00:35:53As Carrie said, you're on your way.
00:35:55You're almost there.
00:35:57Yes, you're on your way.
00:35:58You keep on going.
00:36:00You tip your way to it.
00:36:01And before you know it, you will be right where you want to be.
00:36:04Okay?
00:36:04Thank you so much.
00:36:06Congratulations.
00:36:09So was it more comfortable moving around after rehearsal and after working with Jennifer?
00:36:14Listen, if I could shed the shoes.
00:36:16There you go.
00:36:17You could have got down.
00:36:17There you go.
00:36:18It was funny watching Jennifer while you were performing because it was like she was trying to steer you.
00:36:23With her body.
00:36:24She was leaning left and leaning right trying to get you to move around.
00:36:27And you did.
00:36:28And what a performance.
00:36:29Wonderful to watch.
00:36:30Two great weeks in a row for Hannah.

00:37:51It was amazing.
00:37:52We're there, I celebrate my birthday, and all this happened.
00:37:54So it was amazing.
00:37:56Very good.
00:38:00Nice to meet you.
00:38:01Thanks for being here.
00:38:02Thanks for watching.
00:38:03Now, in honor of the newest film coming from the treasured Toy Story lineup, with You've
00:38:08Got a Friend in Me, it is your top nine.
00:38:24You've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me, when the road looks rough-headed in your
00:38:37miles and miles from a nice warm bed.
00:38:41You just remember what your old pal said, boy, you've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in
00:38:52me, you've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me, you've got trouble, I've got them too.
00:39:10There isn't anything that I would do for you.
00:39:15There isn't anything that I would do for you.
00:39:15We stick together, we can see it through, you've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me,
00:39:25you've got a friend in me.
00:39:27Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am, bigger and stronger too.
00:39:35But none of them will ever love you, but none of them will ever love you the way I do.
00:39:41It's me and you, it's me and you, boy.
00:39:44And as the years go by, our friendship will never die.
00:39:52You're gonna see it's our destiny, you've got a friend in me, you've got a friend in me, you've got
00:40:06a friend in me.
00:40:25You're top nine, you've got a friend in me, what a classic.
00:40:31And now Woody, Buzz and Jesse are back on an all new adventure where they face their biggest challenge yet
00:40:38this summer.
00:40:39It's Toys vs. Tech in Disney and Pixar's new film, Toy Story 5, coming to theaters June 19th.
00:40:47And we are coming back with Chris and a smash hit from Posey.
00:40:52Stay right there, be right back.
00:41:12You're live on American Idol.
00:41:14We've got some huge news to share.
00:41:16Are you ready for it?
00:41:19Next week, the top seven will officially enter their Taylor Swift era.
00:41:25They'll be taking the stage celebrating the music of Taylor Swift with iconic songs from Taylor's acclaimed catalog,
00:41:31from her early country roots to her global pop anthems and all the Grammy-winning songs in between.
00:41:38It's going down live right here next Monday, so do not miss that.
00:41:45Excited.
00:41:46Now, here's how Chris channeled his inner Elsa.
00:41:50Watch this.
00:41:52Today, I'm here with my sister Laura at Disneyland.
00:41:54Fun for Chris!
00:41:55Thank you guys!
00:41:57Is that where we're going?
00:41:58We've got to climb to the top of Adventureland Treehouse together.
00:42:01It's so nice.
00:42:02I love it.
00:42:02I want to live here.
00:42:04For this to be like a fun thing that we get to share, it's really special.
00:42:09I'm very excited to go on Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
00:42:11We're going to the bayou.
00:42:13I hope we're not going to get wet.
00:42:16Oh, baby!
00:42:17Well, we probably will get wet.
00:42:18That's moist.
00:42:20It was really cool to be able to go up with my sister.
00:42:23We have this picture of us at Disney World.
00:42:27And we're just little kids.
00:42:28We're adults, but we can be kids for the day, you know?
00:42:32Let it go, let it go.
00:42:35Hey!
00:42:36This week, I'm going to be singing Let It Go from Frozen.
00:42:39Chris blew me completely away.
00:42:42To take a big Disney ballad and then bring rock and country to it?
00:42:46Let it go, let it go.
00:42:47Oh!
00:42:48First of all, I love your voice on this song.
00:42:51Now, performance was?
00:42:53Oh, you know, he's figuring it out.
00:42:55It would be really fascinating to see you work the stage.
00:42:58I've never performed.
00:42:59And when I do, I'm sitting behind a guitar on a stool.
00:43:01I don't really know how to work a stage.
00:43:03Turn away and slam the door.
00:43:06Slam the door!
00:43:07It needs to be intentional when he's making the gesture,
00:43:09when he's making the step.
00:43:11Okay.
00:43:11I didn't believe some of that, and I want to believe it.
00:43:14This is it.
00:43:15I feel naked up here.
00:43:16I'm in my underwear, like...
00:43:17Yes.
00:43:18If you're uncomfortable, the audience is going to be uncomfortable.
00:43:21Pour it out.
00:43:21Put it in a...
00:43:22No!
00:43:23I want to let it go!
00:43:26Own it.
00:43:26Almost like you Hercules or Tarzan or somebody.
00:43:30That's Disney.
00:43:31That's you.
00:43:32It's a very big song.
00:43:34And we have to find the performance element in it.
00:43:37Which is why he has a lot of work to do.
00:43:44Snow blows white on the mountain eye, makes everything seem small.
00:43:51The fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all.
00:43:57The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.
00:44:05Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried.
00:44:12It's time to see what I can do.
00:44:16It's time to see what I can do.
00:44:16To test the limits and break through.
00:44:19No right, no wrong.
00:44:21No wrong for me.
00:44:24I'm free.
00:44:27Let it go.
00:44:29Let it go.
00:44:31Let it go.
00:44:32Can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:35Let it go.
00:44:36Let it go.
00:44:38Let it go.
00:44:38Turn away and slam the door.
00:44:41I don't care what they're going to say.
00:44:48Let the storm wedge on.
00:44:54My power flurries through the air into the ground.
00:45:02My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around.
00:45:08And one thought crystallizes like an icy place.
00:45:15I'm never going back.
00:45:18The past is in the past.
00:45:23Let it go.
00:45:24Let it go.
00:45:26Can't hold it back anymore.
00:45:29Let it go.
00:45:31Let it go.
00:45:33Turn away and slam the door.
00:45:37I don't care what they're going to say.
00:45:42Let the storm wedge on.
00:45:49It will never bother me anyway.
00:46:05Way to go. Way to go, Chris.
00:46:08Listen, I was just worried of one thing.
00:46:10Jennifer gave you a note that she was going to give all that power behind.
00:46:14I said the man could blow out a kidney. Be careful on that.
00:46:16But I think you did fantastic, fantastic.
00:46:19And the fact is you were giving us expression, stage presence.
00:46:23It was fantastic.
00:46:23Thank you so much.
00:46:25Chris, I'm really proud of you.
00:46:28I feel like that is the most we have seen you emote.
00:46:31You seem like you were having fun.
00:46:33And because of it, it's like she said, if you're uncomfortable, we're going to be uncomfortable.
00:46:37And you kind of seem like you weren't letting go a little bit.
00:46:40And I would like to see more of that.
00:46:42If people will vote for Chris.
00:46:44Vote for your favorites. That's the point. I want to see more.
00:46:49Because Chris, you're the type. You're such a teddy bear.
00:46:53You're so lovable and adorable, guys.
00:46:55He really is.
00:46:56And I just want to cheer for you and cheer you on.
00:46:58You're a joy to watch.
00:46:59You have an amazing voice.
00:47:01What I don't want you to do is lose the song while you're performing.
00:47:04You didn't lose it.
00:47:05But just to keep that in mind, because this is a singing competition first.
00:47:09So don't ever forget that, okay?
00:47:11Singing comes first.
00:47:12But then show them, listen, I deserve to be here.
00:47:15This is my stage, too.
00:47:17And you earned your right to be here.
00:47:18So own it.
00:47:19Thank you so much.
00:47:25It's really tough to follow her, by the way.
00:47:29But when I saw your audition, I never in a million years would have picked that I would
00:47:34hear you sing Let It Go at some point.
00:47:37But I thought maybe, like, bad company or something.
00:47:42But great job in playing along with the moment and learning what you can do.
00:47:47That's what this is all about, too.
00:47:48Your growth.
00:47:49Yeah.
00:47:49Thank you so much, Luke.
00:47:51Good to see you this evening.
00:47:52I'm with Luke on that.
00:47:54I remember meeting you, and I didn't picture that song, that performance on this night.
00:47:58Talk about your song choice and why I connected with you.
00:48:01Yeah, I just felt like I wanted to kind of build off of what you guys said last week.
00:48:05Like, you saw energy, and Jennifer, you were just saying, you got to show them what you
00:48:09got.
00:48:10And it just felt like, yeah, it's outside of my comfort zone.
00:48:12But it's also, it's an extension of me.
00:48:14So it's fun to branch out.
00:48:15There you go.
00:48:16You can vote for Chris now on the American Idol account on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
00:48:22You can also vote online at AmericanIdol.com.
00:48:25If you text your votes, data and message rates may apply.
00:48:28Thank you, Chris.
00:48:29Always love seeing you, buddy.
00:48:35Are you counting all the hidden Mickeys?
00:48:38I saw a few seconds ago, Idol's live on Facebook and TikTok.
00:48:42Right now, go there.
00:48:43Tell us where you're spotting them.
00:48:45And after this, Jennifer covered Circle of Life on the Idol stage back in 2004.
00:48:50And now she's got a master class lined up for Keela on that very song.
00:48:56When we come back live here on Idol, Disney Night, be right back.
00:49:06Welcome back to Idol.
00:49:08Tonight, you're getting to hear all your favorite Disney hits.
00:49:23It's the Mandalorian and Grogu.
00:49:27Now that is the way to make an entrance.
00:49:30Looks like you two picked the right night to show up.
00:49:33They're back on an epic adventure in the new movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu.
00:49:38Hidden theaters May 22nd.
00:49:40And if you're feeling bold, you can spot them on a new mission aboard Millennium Falcon.
00:49:44Smuggler's run also on May 22nd.
00:49:48A twofer.
00:49:49Up next, another out-of-this-world mentor moment with Jennifer Odson.
00:49:55Ready?
00:49:55Watch this.
00:49:58We're at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
00:50:01Whoa!
00:50:03I'm here with my son.
00:50:05Drew and I wrote Rise of the Resistance, and it was so much fun.
00:50:10Having Drew here with me means the world to me.
00:50:12One moment.
00:50:13Oh, Drew.
00:50:14Drew!
00:50:14Have a traveler come to find adventure or to find trouble?
00:50:19Good job, Drewvers.
00:50:20Seeing him happy here at Disneyland, this is his first time.
00:50:22It makes me feel so good.
00:50:24Your allegiance with the first order.
00:50:26Okay, order.
00:50:27Very good.
00:50:29That was insane.
00:50:33It was nice to disconnect from the competition.
00:50:36I'm enjoying myself, but hey, I'm ready to work.
00:50:37Can I give you a hug?
00:50:38Of course.
00:50:39I am a big fan of Jennifer Hudson.
00:50:41Oh, my God.
00:50:42I've been watching you sing us down on the TV.
00:50:44Oh, Lord.
00:50:45I've been watching her since I was a little girl, so hopefully I don't be star-struck.
00:50:49Tell me your song again.
00:50:50My song is Circle of Life, The Lion King.
00:50:53Ah!
00:50:54I think I know that song.
00:50:56I sang this song on this show.
00:50:58Ooh, child, season three.
00:51:00So we have to have something for you.
00:51:03Something.
00:51:04Yes.
00:51:04The circle of life
00:51:10On the path of winding
00:51:13Oh, my God.
00:51:14That is crazy.
00:51:16What?
00:51:16I'm getting emotional.
00:51:17Me too.
00:51:19Like how life-changing this experience truly is.
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:22What we do here
00:51:24Is the blueprint
00:51:26Setting you up
00:51:27For your future
00:51:28When I say priceless
00:51:30Priceless
00:51:30The circle of life
00:51:35Circle of life
00:51:36Was a game-changing moment for me
00:51:38So I'm hoping it's the same for her
00:51:40You better sing, girl
00:51:48For the day we arrive on the planet
00:51:54And blanking step into the sun
00:52:01There is more to see
00:52:04Than could ever be seen
00:52:07More to do
00:52:09Than could ever be done
00:52:13Some of us fall
00:52:15By the wayside
00:52:18And some of us soar
00:52:21To the stars
00:52:24And some of us sail
00:52:27Through our troubles
00:52:28And some have to live
00:52:33With the scars
00:52:35The circle of life
00:52:39And it moves us all
00:52:45Through despair and hope
00:52:50Through faith and love
00:52:54Till we find our place
00:53:02On the path unwinding
00:53:08In the circle
00:53:13In the circle of life

00:59:58Leomani Segura, Brendan Trombley, Alexandra Bird, and Kiara Romero
01:00:04Great to have you at American Idol
01:00:06Great moves out there too
01:00:08Descendants' Wicked Wonderland premieres this summer on Disney Channel and Disney Plus
01:00:12Don't miss it, now he's tryin' to climb into the top seven with a Hannah Montana pick
01:00:18It is Brooks, let's go Brooks
01:00:25My sister flew in so she could come to Disneyland with me
01:00:28Let's go!
01:00:30I grew up watching my sister do musical theater, very confident on a stage
01:00:34And once singing came to me a couple years ago, she definitely pushed me to be more out there with
01:00:40it
01:00:40To be on American Idol, it's, everything is surreal
01:00:43Can I take a picture with you?
01:00:45I never thought anything would lead to people knowing me just by my face
01:00:49And it's really nice, having people notice you for you
01:00:53Brooks in the house
01:00:55How much experience have you had prior to this?
01:00:57Just American Idol
01:00:58What do you mean?
01:00:59My first performance was my audition
01:01:01You're brave
01:01:02I'm still working on the confidence part
01:01:03What are you thinking?
01:01:05The climb
01:01:06The climb?
01:01:06I relate to the climb
01:01:08It's the stage I am in life, just progressing, being able to overcome confidence issues
01:01:13Struggles I'm facing
01:01:15This is sitting
01:01:16The chances I'm taking
01:01:19Hey
01:01:19He seems very introverted
01:01:21But I think it works
01:01:22I think he needs to just allow his voice to be heard
01:01:25It's the climb
01:01:28I almost want, like, one more note
01:01:30Cause you're climbing
01:01:31So why not climb vocally?
01:01:33It's the climb
01:01:34It's the climb
01:01:37Even that, just that one extra little nuance
01:01:40It's the climb
01:01:45Yeah
01:01:52It's the climb
01:01:54You better sing
01:01:57You sat there with that swag
01:01:59I saw all the confidence in the world
01:02:05I'm gonna have my shoe ready
01:02:07You don't even know what that means
01:02:19I can almost see it
01:02:22That dream I'm dreaming
01:02:25But there's a voice inside my head
01:02:28Saying you'll never reach it
01:02:31Every step I'm taking
01:03:02Every move I make feels
01:03:07It ain't about how fast I get there
01:03:10It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
01:03:19The struggles I'm facing
01:03:21The chances I'm taking
01:03:24Sometimes might knock me down
01:03:27But no, I'm not breaking
01:03:30I may not know it
01:03:33These are the moments that I'm gonna remember most
01:03:40Just gotta keep going
01:03:42And I gotta keep trying
01:03:49Just keep pushing
01:03:51Just keep pushing
01:03:54It's always gonna be another mountain
01:03:57Always gonna wanna make it move
01:04:00It's always gonna be another battle
01:04:03Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
01:04:06It ain't about how fast I get there
01:04:09It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
01:04:16It's the climb
01:04:22It's the climb
01:04:29It's the climb

01:08:06At Disneyland Park
01:08:07With its mother, Denise
01:08:10We're going so much faster
01:08:11Than everybody else
01:08:15My mom is my best friend
01:08:17And so having her here with me at Disneyland
01:08:19It means the most
01:08:21Love you
01:08:21Love you too
01:08:23My mom was a single mom
01:08:24And I didn't know that we struggled
01:08:26I didn't know that the reason why
01:08:27She was always working
01:08:28Is to provide
01:08:29And I'm so grateful
01:08:30For how she raised me
01:08:36My mom, I hope she sees
01:08:37Girl, I see all that you've done
01:08:39Take a break
01:08:40Let me do it now
01:08:42Let me take care of you
01:08:43Just for the day
01:08:45Probably the best week
01:08:45I've had in my life ever
01:08:47Going to Disneyland
01:08:48To JenniferHudson
01:08:49It's me, Jennifer
01:08:50I know who you are, girl
01:08:52Jennifer, wait a second
01:08:53Give me just a moment
01:08:54Oh, okay
01:08:54This is the JenniferHudson
01:08:56We're talking about
01:08:56The voice of it all
01:08:57Hey, Jennifer
01:08:58We can do a hug
01:08:59I can give you a hug
01:08:59Oh, my goodness
01:09:00Okay
01:09:01Back in 2018
01:09:03JenniferHudson commented
01:09:04On one of my singing videos
01:09:05This meant so much to me
01:09:07I look up to her so much
01:09:09The Disney song I'm singing this week
01:09:11Is Colors of the Wind
01:09:12From Pocahontas
01:09:13Have you ever heard
01:09:15The wolf cry
01:09:17Jordan has a beautiful voice
01:09:19We would call it
01:09:21An anointing
01:09:25You better
01:09:26I'm sorry
01:09:27I hate people too
01:09:28I couldn't get the shoe off
01:09:31I'm trying not to look at you
01:09:33I'm sorry
01:09:34Y'all know she's a tourist
01:09:35With throwing shoes
01:09:36That's what you do
01:09:37When you see somebody
01:09:38That's singing
01:09:39That's a compliment
01:09:40And I'll take it
01:09:41I got one thing though
01:09:42Okay
01:09:43Right before the key change
01:09:44Okay, yeah
01:09:44I feel like you should almost
01:09:45Make that the big moment
01:09:47Okay
01:09:48Where you can elongate a note
01:09:50Okay
01:09:50Never know
01:09:52Right there
01:09:53No
01:09:54Kind of thing
01:09:57Never
01:09:58No
01:10:02I get a shoe
01:10:15You think the only people
01:10:18Who are people
01:10:20Are the people
01:10:23Who look and think like you
01:10:28But if you walk the footsteps
01:10:31Of a stranger
01:10:33You'll learn things
01:10:36You never knew
01:10:37You never knew
01:10:39Have you ever heard
01:10:43The wolf cry
01:10:44To the blue corn moon
01:10:47Or answer grinning bobcat
01:10:51Why he grinned
01:10:53Can you sing with all the voices
01:10:57Of the mountain
01:10:59Can you paint with all the colors
01:11:03Of the wind
01:11:06Can you paint with all the colors
01:11:10Of the wind
01:11:15How high does the sycamore grow
01:11:19If you cut it down
01:11:22If you cut it down
01:11:23Then you'll never know
01:11:31Can you
01:11:34Never hear the wolf cry
01:11:38To the blue corn moon
01:11:42For all the wee white
01:11:45Or cover skin
01:11:47We need to sing with all the voices
01:11:52Of the mountain
01:11:54You can own the earth
01:11:58And still
01:11:59All you own is earth
01:12:02You can paint with all the colors
01:12:19Of the bands
01:12:22Of the wind
01:12:24Of the wind
01:12:27Of the wind
01:12:42I love you so soon, kid.
01:13:02I'm not saying anything, listen to them.
01:13:08Alright, alright, so real short, real sweet, southern way of saying it, shut your mouth.
01:13:18I hear you, I hear you.
01:13:20Jordan, that was perfect.
01:13:23Thank you, thank you so much.
01:13:30I ain't got nothing to say, I threw the shoes, ain't nothing else to be said.
01:13:33Both of them.
01:13:35How many did you bring tonight to the show, Jennifer?
01:13:38I was looking at Carrie like, girl, could I borrow your shoes?
01:13:41These are for you.
01:13:44Anything to add?
01:13:46He got my shoes in his hand, Brian.
01:13:49Thank you, Jennifer, thank you.
01:13:50Well done. Magical.
01:13:51He needs your votes to make it to next week.
01:13:53You can vote up to 10 times per finalist right now on live via tech show, across our socials, on
01:13:58Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
01:14:00Once more, Jordan.
01:14:03We'll celebrate.
01:14:04You got him. Let's do it.
01:14:09Coming up, an emotional Hannah Montana ballad from Kindle.
01:14:14Don't go anywhere.
01:14:16We will be right back.
01:14:27Back with you live on American Idol, we have another incredible guest judge joining the panel next week.
01:14:32The always hilarious Nikki Glaser will take a seat at the desk while the finalists pay homage to the artists
01:14:38and music of California.
01:14:41Now, our final performance of the night, and it's coming from Kindle.
01:14:47My husband and I are both very much adrenaline junkies, so to be able to come to Disneyland and ride
01:14:52the roller coasters and just get a break has been awesome.
01:14:56We're having a blast. We've been married for six months. We're newlyweds.
01:15:00This has been a very incredible journey to watch you on. There's nothing more beautiful than you singing your heart
01:15:06out.
01:15:07Nice to meet you.
01:15:08Nice to meet you.
01:15:09So inspired by you.
01:15:10Tell me a bit about your story. How has this experience been for you?
01:15:13Yeah.
01:15:15I lost my voice last week, and then just immediately thought in my head.
01:15:20At the beginning stages, there was so much confidence in what I did, and I feel like as soon as
01:15:25life started, sorry, I'm, like, getting emotional already.
01:15:28Take your time. It's your moment.
01:15:31Sorry.
01:15:31Why are you getting emotional?
01:15:32I can't even make it through. Sorry.
01:15:36I understand. It's an emotional journey.
01:15:39Yes.
01:15:39I went through a world we all did.
01:15:42Last week was a bummer and did take a toll on my confidence.
01:15:46You dream about moments like this. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
01:15:52That's why this song just hits home so hard for me.
01:15:57I'm singing Butterfly Fly Away from Hannah Montana. This song, it speaks to the journey that I've been on.
01:16:03Hold on tight.
01:16:06I was not expecting to cry like this on this stage today.
01:16:09It's human.
01:16:10Yeah.
01:16:11It's okay to be emotional, but you need to be able to straddle, balance out a bit.
01:16:15Yeah.
01:16:16But I don't want you to lose it.
01:16:18Kendall has hearts.
01:16:19But if she gets too emotional, she's going to lose a huge part of her song.
01:16:23It's a lot on the line.
01:16:24So I need her to be focused, balanced, and pull out the tricks.
01:16:36You talked to me and turned out the light.
01:16:40Kept me safe and sound at night.
01:16:44Little girls depend on things like that.
01:16:51You brushed my teeth and combed my hair.
01:16:55Had to drive me everywhere.
01:16:58You were always there when I looked back.
01:17:05You had to do it all alone.
01:17:09Make a living, make a home.
01:17:13Must have been as hard as it could be.
01:17:20And when I couldn't sleep at night.
01:17:23Scared things wouldn't turn out bright.
01:17:28You would hold my hand and sing to me.
01:17:36Caterpillar in the tree.
01:17:39How you wonder who you'll be.
01:17:43Can't go far, but you can always dream.
01:17:50Wish your name, wish you mine.
01:17:54Don't you worry, hold on tight.
01:17:58Promise you that there will come a day.
01:18:04Butterfly, fly away.
01:18:08Butterfly.
01:18:13Caterpillar in the tree.
01:18:16How you wonder who you'll be.
01:18:20Can't go far, but you can always dream.
01:18:27Wish you may and wish you mine.
01:18:31Don't you worry, hold on tight.
01:18:35Promise you that there will come a day.
01:18:41Butterfly, fly away.
01:19:01All right, that was the way to step into your light.
01:19:07Remember one thing, you were born enough.
01:19:11That was fabulous.
01:19:14Kendall, I think, I think feeling like you felt last week is very necessary.
01:19:21Because when we don't have moments like that, we can't have beautiful moments of redemption like you just had.
01:19:37That was absolutely beautiful.
01:19:40Let me, let me take it to her.
01:19:44That's not the same.
01:19:48Yeah.
01:19:50Jennifer goes, it ain't the same when I take it.
01:19:52Yes, I get it.
01:19:55Listen, way to, just way to come back, way to get through a rough week.
01:19:59And listen, now you can let the emotion out and get it out.
01:20:03So, you did a great job.
01:20:05Hey.
01:20:08If we had any more performances, Luke's boots would have to be thrown up here on the stage.
01:20:13I mean, I need the shoe, you know.
01:20:14You do need the shoe.
01:20:15Yes.
01:20:16Well, here.
01:20:16Hop away on one if you like.
01:20:18There you go.
01:20:19I don't know, girl.
01:20:20You gotta vote.
01:20:21Great job.
01:20:21Thank you very much.

01:21:21But before we do that, first a big thanks to Jennifer Hudson for mentoring the finalist
01:21:26sitting on the panel tonight.
01:21:28Tomorrow is the 22-year anniversary of her shocking elimination.
01:21:33Just the week before, she had the highest number of votes.
01:21:36And then the very next week, she was headed home.
01:21:40Thinking back to that, what advice do you have for the two leaving us tonight, Jennifer?
01:21:44You know, this is the start of your career.
01:21:47When you leave here, your talent goes with you.
01:21:50That's what I told myself.
01:21:51And as long as I keep singing, I'm going to sing my way to it.
01:21:54So you do the same.
01:21:56And you get to say when your dream starts and when it ends.
01:22:00Well said.
01:22:01Time now for the live results.
01:22:04Tom, dim the lights and here we go.
01:22:09Good luck to all of you in no particular order.
01:22:13After the nationwide vote, the first person in your top seven is Daniel.
01:22:19Daniel, congratulations.
01:22:21We got it.
01:22:26The next person making it through to the lounge after the vote is Keilah.
01:22:33Congratulations.
01:22:37Continuing their Idol era in your top seven next week.
01:22:42It is good news for Jordan.
01:22:49Joining the others in the lounge, live now after the vote, it is Chris.
01:22:56Congratulations.
01:22:59One step closer to the finale, it is Hannah.
01:23:13In America, you also loved Brooks.
01:23:19You are safe.
01:23:22So, head on together here in the center of the stage, Braden, Lucas, and Kendall.
01:23:30Only one spot left.
01:23:33Three faces here.
01:23:35Amazing night tonight.
01:23:36Good luck to all of you with this final result.
01:23:40Now, the last person to make it into your top seven after the nationwide vote is Braden.
01:23:55Congratulations, Braden.
01:23:56You did it.
01:24:00That means we say goodbye to Lucas and Kendall.
01:24:05Thank you two very much.
01:24:08Remember what Jennifer said.
01:24:11And there you have it, America, your top seven.
