00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I just, I'm capable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts, Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:14Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44this is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:49front row
00:01:52you should be very proud of how far you've come.
00:01:57but for now, your journey
00:02:02it's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:14So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap, how did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survived the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round,
00:02:30when the judges review all the performances in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:36It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end, and I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week, you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:01Every time it's the light
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing, but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger and when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:25I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:29The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32And now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me, so I can be far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.
00:04:06Please stay where you are.
00:04:11Don't come any closer.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:16Don't try to change my mind.
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind.
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark.
00:04:33It feels like we're oceans apart.
00:04:44There's so much space between us.
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated.
00:04:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:04:58Everything changed me.
00:05:00Everything changed me.
00:05:02We're not the only ones.
00:05:05I don't regret a thing.
00:05:07Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean.
00:05:12It is the world to me that you are in my life.
00:05:16I want to live and not survive.
00:05:28That's why I can't love you in the dark.
00:05:38I want to live and not survive.
00:05:47Get out of here.
00:05:49Go.
00:05:51Actually, come back.
00:05:59What are you doing?
00:06:00I know.
00:06:02Thanks, everyone.
00:06:08there's so many things i wanted to say that i was trying to kick you out of the room because
00:06:12i'm so jealous of you but uh your first note carrie started drawing hearts everywhere
00:06:19and uh what a pro dynamic of singing and you are so deserving of this time in your life right

00:06:38while jesse waits for his result the spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls
00:06:44including 29 year old singer songwriter kindle inskeep usually when i take the stage it takes a
00:06:50couple songs for me to get comfortable so it's such a challenge this week because you only have
00:06:55one shot to really be authentic to who you are i grew up in indianapolis indiana my mom sang worship
00:07:03in the church and we would sing together so that's kind of like where my love for music came from
00:07:09is
00:07:09my mom i moved almost eight years ago to nashville and actually came to belmont came here for maybe
00:07:1660 days but we are still alumni and we're here for only 60 days this week i'm singing human by
00:07:23the
00:07:25killers the song is a little bit more lively i'm not gonna have a guitar in my hand so it's
00:07:30not
00:07:30really in my comfort zone um how are you feeling a little nerdy i get that a little bit but
00:07:37this is a
00:07:38really great opportunity for me to really show i can also be free-spirited and fun and joyful in my
00:07:46performance so i'm ready to step out on that stage okay
00:07:56i did my best to notice when the call came down to one up to the platform of surrender

00:09:58Thank you so much.
00:09:59And I love how at this time you switched it up
00:10:01and you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03that, you know, it was a lot more energetic
00:10:06and you felt comfortable in both spaces, so...
00:10:09I think you should be really proud of that.
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:11Thank you so much.
00:10:13I love her. I love her.
00:10:15That voice you got, oh, my God, I love her.
00:10:17It's cool, and she's comfortable.
00:10:18She's so comfortable.
00:10:21I can...
00:10:22I'm gonna cry because...
00:10:25I'm gonna cry because I just, like, was so nervous going on.
00:10:30I'm very happy with the way that that just went.
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie to see
00:10:37if they've done enough to survive the first round of cuts.
00:10:41Would the following people please step forward?
00:10:45Jessie.
00:10:47Kendall.

00:10:59No!
00:11:02You've touched that.
00:11:03Tonight has just been the best night of my life.
00:11:07So proud of you, man.
00:11:08I just can't believe it.
00:11:10I'm so excited.
00:11:11I am so excited, and I'm so grateful that this just happened right now.
00:11:19Camaro.
00:11:20Tonight Hollywood Week Music City Takeover comes to a close.
00:11:25Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:11:27It'll be anything but easy to get there.
00:11:30Everyone's fighting for their lives in here.
00:11:32I'm just not sure that was the right song.
00:11:33Bring it on!
00:11:35I love it!
00:11:36Your boobs are feeding me.
00:11:38Stay tuned to see more of your favorites.
00:11:40It's a voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:11:45If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:11:48And by the end of the night, your top 30 will be revealed.
00:11:52We got more bloodshed coming.
00:11:54We have some sing-offs.
00:12:01Carrie, how is Hollywood Week in Music City going?
00:12:04Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting, and it's drama, and it's stressful.
00:12:09It's very difficult because we got to get rid of so many wonderful kids,
00:12:13but I'm telling you, we're finding stars.
00:12:16Stars.
00:12:17Are you guys ready?
00:12:18Everyone out here is mind-blowing, so my nerves are definitely, definitely up now.
00:12:24I never would have thought I would be right here ever.
00:12:28It's just kind of a dream that I don't realize that I'm living.
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity for me.
00:12:32Coming to the stage, here's Cutter Bradley!
00:12:36I've moved away from home to do this dream.
00:12:39I kind of left everything behind, and so I want to stay really bad.
00:12:49I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:12:54I fell asleep in my booze last night.
00:12:58I had a feeling that I'd run out of my hands.
00:13:04Well, girl, I couldn't have been more around.
00:13:09I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:13:13I fell asleep in my booze last night.
00:13:17And I knew I wouldn't have to take the time putting them back on when I'm sober.
00:13:22Yeah, I knew you'd be pissed off over me, and I'd just be hungover.
00:13:26No.
00:13:28And I didn't need to take them off now.
00:13:31And I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:13:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:41Thank you, thank you.
00:13:42I feel like you've got, like, a solid voice.
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range.
00:13:47You were like a lion, like, pacing back and forth.
00:13:50Like, getting ready to, like, bust out of the cage.
00:13:53Easy, easy, easy.
00:13:54It was good.
00:13:54It was easy.
00:13:55Slow down, slow down, slow down.
00:13:56It was good.
00:13:57It was good.
00:13:59Thank you all.
00:14:02This microphone is revealing a lot of singers now.
00:14:10So happy to be here.
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan.
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas.
00:14:15I'm going to be singing.
00:14:16I'm going to be singing I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.
00:14:19Good song.
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol because I want to show that your story, your pain,
00:14:25can be used to be your greatest power.
00:14:27Absolutely.
00:14:32Well, I feel really, really lucky to be here in Hollywood Week.
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here.
00:14:39Welcome back.
00:14:41Last year, I wasn't able to experience this round because of my mental health.
00:14:47You were born enough.
00:14:50I feel proud of myself for making it here.
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing, a lot of learning.
00:14:56And so this year, I'm definitely feeling much more well-prepared and confident.
00:15:02But I'm always nervous.
00:15:04I mean, why wouldn't you be nervous in Hollywood Week?
00:15:08Up until this point, I've only performed my own songs.
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking about this first cover for us.
00:15:15I'm really pushing myself with this one.
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection to bring out emotion for a song that you're covering.
00:15:23It demands more of me, so the pressure's on.
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking just thinking about it, honestly.
00:15:31But I just thought, you know, I'd regret it if I showed up to Hollywood Week and I didn't push
00:15:35myself.
00:15:36Turn down these voices inside my head.
00:15:52Lay down with me, tell me no lies.
00:15:59Just hold me close, don't patronize, don't patronize me.
00:16:15Cause I can make you love me if you don't.
00:16:23And you can make your heart feel something in love.
00:16:31Here in the dark, in these final hours, I will lay down my heart.
00:16:43And I'll feel the power, but you won't.
00:16:50No, you won't.
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me.
00:17:01If you don't, if you don't, if you don't.
00:17:12If you don't.
00:17:21Thank you so much.
00:17:36Gotta keep it together up here.
00:17:38My favorite part about that is when you hit your first note, the crowd screams, you smile.
00:17:44And your smile was so big, you almost couldn't sing the next line.
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future.
00:17:54And that was the first of many great experiences for you.
00:17:58And we're just glad we get to watch.
00:18:14I feel like every time I go on stage, I still struggle with that self-doubt and I just get
00:18:21proven wrong every single time.
00:18:22And it's really starting to feel like a blessing.
00:18:24And, um, I'm not ready to go home.
00:18:26Not at all.
00:18:27Why am I so nervous?
00:18:29I know, right?
00:18:31Not easy.
00:18:33Cutter.
00:18:37Julian.
00:18:39You are still chasing that American Idol dream.
00:18:50Is it a whirlwind for you?
00:18:52It's more than a whirlwind.
00:18:53It's magic.
00:18:54It's actual magic.
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life.
00:19:03Welcome back to American Idol.
00:19:04Where Professor Carrie's Hollywood Week lessons have some students turning against her.
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song.
00:19:14They just like to boo me.
00:19:16There were notes that were just like, awesome.
00:19:19And then I was hearing some that I was like, what's happening right now?
00:19:23So I'm kind of like, I'm, it.
00:19:27I heard it too.
00:19:28I heard it too.
00:19:29I'm just not sure that was the right song.
00:19:31She only won this.
00:19:32She knows.
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion.
00:19:39But Mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass.
00:19:43It was a little shaky to start.
00:19:44I think make sure you do songs that really showcase that grit that you have.
00:19:49Thank you so much.
00:19:52Why don't they boo you?
00:19:54I know I'm trying to get booed.
00:19:56Ask them.
00:19:56You're not gonna boo him?
00:19:58You're not gonna boo Luke?
00:20:04I'm getting used to it.
00:20:06I'm getting used to it.
00:20:08Hoping to get on Carrie's good side by living up to his name.
00:20:11Stand by.
00:20:12Stand by.
00:20:12Stand by.
00:20:14Is 24 year old True the star?
00:20:19My first audition, I saw the ballad.
00:20:21So I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much as I wanted to.
00:20:26And how are you working on it?
00:20:28Just being myself.
00:20:29The song I will be singing is Love and Happiness by Al Green.
00:20:33It shows my personality and how I like to move around and perform.
00:20:37It's more about being true yourself and be a hundred percent.
00:20:40Well, go have some fun.
00:20:41Be you.
00:20:41And let's get it done.
00:20:43Come on, y'all!
00:20:49Something's going wrong.
00:20:51Someone's on the phone line.
00:20:53Three o'clock in the morning.
00:20:56Yeah, yeah.
00:20:59Talking about
00:21:01How she can make it right.
00:21:03You better know what I'm talking about.
00:21:04All I have to say is
00:21:07Love and Happiness
00:21:09Wait a minute.
00:21:11Make it your right.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:15Love can make you do wrong.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:20More for love, I said.
00:21:24Alright.
00:21:25All I have to say is
00:21:27Love and Happiness
00:21:30Come on!
00:21:32Love and Happiness
00:21:36Love and Happiness
00:21:39Love and Happiness
00:21:42Love
00:21:47In a Happiness
00:21:53Woo!
00:22:06Well, your name is True the Star.
00:22:09Yes, Lord.
00:22:10And you get a band
00:22:11and then you start getting choreography
00:22:13and swagger.
00:22:17But the song didn't necessarily show everybody
00:22:20how great and dynamic your voice is,
00:22:22but it showed us
00:22:24how dynamic you are
00:22:26as an artist.
00:22:28Keep being yourself.
00:22:29Yeah!
00:22:33The adrenaline is pumping right now.
00:22:35A lot of breath.
00:22:37But it was good.
00:22:39The song just kind of...
00:22:40No, it's the wrong song.
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:43While True waits to see
00:22:44if his authenticity
00:22:45keeps him at the top of the class,
00:22:47the pressure is on for Sheldon
00:22:49who hopes to do the same.
00:22:51The new thing I've discovered about Idol
00:22:53is that
00:22:54it's really stripping me
00:22:55right back to basics.
00:22:57I've done a lot of TV shows
00:22:58and I've always completely
00:22:59covered up in a mask
00:23:00and it's avant-garde.
00:23:02There's crystals and diamonds,
00:23:03sequins, big gowns, big dresses.
00:23:05This is the most stripped-back, vulnerable
00:23:08version of myself ever.
00:23:12For this round, I'll be singing
00:23:14Good Luck Babe by Chapel Ryan.
00:23:16The vocal in this performance
00:23:17is a lot bigger
00:23:19than my normal ones.
00:23:20I challenge myself
00:23:21with a big track.
00:23:26It's the first time my voice
00:23:28has ever cracked
00:23:28and it cracked...
00:23:29bad.
00:23:30Real bad.
00:23:32Am I freaking out about it?
00:23:34Yeah.
00:23:34It's definitely in my head.
00:23:36Just take a break.
00:23:37Take a breath.
00:23:38Just relax.
00:23:39Trust that you know
00:23:40what you're doing out there.
00:23:42Beating myself up a little bit over it.
00:23:43Maybe it's because
00:23:44I don't have everything on.
00:23:46Maybe it's because
00:23:46I'm doing something
00:23:47completely different,
00:23:48but I've come a long way.
00:23:50This is, like,
00:23:51the side of me that
00:23:52I've kept away
00:23:53from a lot of people.
00:23:55I've got a lot on the line here.
00:24:10It's fine.
00:24:12It's cool.
00:24:14You can say that you are nothing, but you know the truth.
00:24:19And guess I'm the fool.
00:24:24With your arms out like an angel through the car, son.
00:24:29I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:34You only want to be the one that I call, baby.
00:24:39I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:43You only want to be the one that I call, baby.
00:24:47You could kiss a hundred boys in bars.
00:24:52Shoot another shot.
00:24:54Try to stop the feeling.
00:24:57You could say it's just the way you are.
00:25:01Make a new excuse.
00:25:03You know the stupid reason.
00:25:05Good Lord.
00:25:08Well, good Lord.
00:25:10You have to stop the world just to stop the feeling.
00:25:15Good Lord.
00:25:17Oh, good Lord.
00:25:19You have to stop the world, just to stop the feeling.
00:25:29You have to stop the world, just to stop the feeling.
00:25:33Stop the feelin'.
00:25:49Thank you very much.
00:25:50Wow. All right.
00:25:53Welcome to America.
00:25:54Thank you so much. It's an honor to be here, really.
00:25:57It's hard to believe that you spent most of your career behind a mask.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:04Now you are revealing not only your face, but your amazing talent and your voice.
00:26:11Amazing talent.
00:26:13Um, this could be your home.
00:26:18I'd love to be here.
00:26:20Congratulations, man.
00:26:21Thank you, everyone.
00:26:26Just the most nervous thing ever.
00:26:28I mean, I've done this a lot of times, and of all the shows I've been on,
00:26:30this is the biggest cut I've ever seen.
00:26:35If I call your name, step forward, please.
00:26:41Sheldon.
00:26:48You're going through, you're gonna have to sweat it out in the golden room for a little longer.
00:26:52Say it to me louder.
00:26:57True.
00:26:58Say it to me louder.
00:27:02You'll be joining them all, sir.
00:27:13My heart's going crazy.
00:27:15American Idol have the best of the best, and I wanted to compete with the best of the best.
00:27:19I feel like this is destiny.
00:27:21This is how I make the V.
00:27:22We ain't done yet.
00:27:23There's more.
00:27:23There's more to come.
00:27:24Let's keep going until the wheels fall off.
00:27:25Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:26Sheldon.
00:27:27Sheldon.
00:27:28Sheldon.
00:27:48Sheldon.
00:27:48It's just taking this part of you seriously.
00:27:51And now, in Hollywood Week, he must prove himself on his own.
00:27:55If you're calling back, my heart is still yours.
00:27:59I should have listened to it a little more.
00:28:03All those choruses, make sure you enunciate through them on those big notes.
00:28:08The devil's in the details.
00:28:10And I still love you.
00:28:16Jason, this is the end of your American Idol journey.
00:28:20I think my buddies would be more than proud of me.
00:28:23I gave you everything I had.
00:28:25That's all I can do.
00:28:26And for so many others, giving their all still had them coming up short.
00:28:31Maddie.
00:28:33Kitty.
00:28:35Landon.
00:28:36This is the end of the road.
00:28:38Thank you very much.
00:28:39I might have just not really been as, like, prepared as I would have liked to be.
00:28:44I've never really sung on a stage by myself before.
00:28:48I think I gave great rocks to our lives, but maybe I didn't.
00:28:51My body language didn't say it.
00:28:53You know, I tried my hardest.
00:28:55But it wasn't enough.
00:29:05But for Julianne, she ends her journey with a risk that didn't pay off, performing her original song.
00:29:13And I'm close to the end.
00:29:14Julianne, I am sorry to tell you that your American Idol journey ends right now.
00:29:20Take me up, help me stand.
00:29:23Even though my journey with American Idol is over, it's been such a great experience.
00:29:28I'm gonna keep writing music, and this has inspired me, and I hope that my song could inspire other people.
00:29:35I wanna die while I'm dancing.
00:29:39I hope everybody back there can hear me.
00:29:41I hope all of the contestants can hear me.
00:29:43When the stars align for you guys, when you're on a stage like this, is when you sing a song
00:29:50that somebody's just been waiting to hear.
00:29:52A song that somebody loves, and you crush it.
00:29:55Make some noise here, 22-year-old Moore!
00:30:01Moore!
00:30:03What's up, everybody?
00:30:04I'm Moore.
00:30:06I'm gonna be singing an original for you guys today.
00:30:10I'm definitely taking a risk.
00:30:12It's a risk that paid off for Moore in the past.
00:30:14I'm a songwriter at heart, and my audition was nothing short of a blessing.
00:30:21You were taking from me years ago, someone I never got to know.
00:30:28I was able to sing my original song, and that meant a lot to me.
00:30:32That writing was very cool.
00:30:34Thank you so much.
00:30:35Very, very cool.
00:30:35That means the world to me.
00:30:36I feel like I've got a story to tell that can impact and heal people, because music has healed me.
00:30:40There's definitely moments where I have doubts whether this is the right choice or not.
00:30:44Head on up.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:45Especially a song that you wrote that no one knows.
00:30:47He's no band?
00:30:48No band.
00:30:49It's original.
00:30:49It puts a lot of weight on the performance itself.
00:30:53This song's called How to Love You.
00:31:00Him?
00:31:14Good night at heart!
00:31:19With this song that's messed up, everyone.
00:31:24Do you mind?
00:31:24Itores ournic corporex this song Schlutzenann.
00:31:29Can't fix it now
00:31:31When you're already
00:31:34Picturing the end
00:31:38And I'm lost
00:31:42On how to love you
00:31:48Oh, I'm lost
00:31:51On how to love you
00:31:55It's good, though
00:31:57Oh, and I can't go on without you
00:32:07And I'm wondering when I'll find you
00:32:11Will I find myself
00:32:18Cause I'm lost
00:32:21On how to love you
00:32:30Thank you guys so much
00:32:33Oh my gosh
00:32:34I feel you guys are gonna boo me
00:32:37You're gonna boo me
00:32:38It's coming, just bring it on
00:32:41I love it
00:32:44Your booze are feeding me
00:32:48In a room like this
00:32:49For you to bring an original song
00:32:51With that incredible band
00:32:53Sitting behind you
00:32:54Like twiddling their thumbs
00:32:55I feel like it was just
00:32:56A missed opportunity
00:32:57And I love your voice
00:33:00Thank you
00:33:01I love you
00:33:01I understand
00:33:02I understand
00:33:03Thank you, though
00:33:04But I loved
00:33:06Like being in an intimate room
00:33:08With you like that
00:33:09And listening to
00:33:10You know, you tell your story
00:33:13I feel like you took a risk here
00:33:15And
00:33:21It paid off
00:33:22Thank you
00:33:25I don't regret my decision
00:33:27I love being able to do that song
00:33:28For all those people
00:33:29That's what we want
00:33:30Give me more of that

00:35:52Have you rehearsed it enough?
00:35:53How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay
00:36:00Wasn't the best
00:36:00I feel like
00:36:02I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes
00:36:04So like when you didn't hit the notes
00:36:06You're wearing it on your face
00:36:07Yeah
00:36:08I'm like really in my head right now

00:39:05By the end of today, we will have gone from 127 to 30
00:39:17I hope you all know how difficult this decision has been
00:39:21That said...
00:39:23Ruby

00:39:25Mary Jo
00:39:28Please don't take this as a no
00:39:36Because it is not
00:39:37You're still in the mix
00:39:38You all should be so proud of yourselves
00:39:41You've done such an amazing job
00:39:45I can't believe I've made it through
00:39:47I'm really... I don't know
00:39:48I'm just...
00:39:49Whoa, so many emotions
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30
00:39:55So I'm very anxious
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude
00:40:04It's just speaking more life into me
00:40:07So funny
00:40:11Hollywood Week is the ultimate test
00:40:15I can do more and push myself more
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you
00:40:22Vocally, you have to stay on point when it matters most
00:40:25Hollywood Week has been insane
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key
00:40:34Welcome back to American Idol
00:40:36Where inside the theater
00:40:38Our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chance
00:40:41At this year's top 30
00:40:43Breaks it down to his knees
00:40:49God, I've been broken more than a time or two
00:40:53Yes, Lord
00:40:54But then you picked me up
00:40:56And showed me what it means to be a man
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all-American boy
00:41:02Just getting up there singing your heart
00:41:05Thank you so much
00:41:05And we will see if that was enough
00:41:07But meanwhile in the Golden Room
00:41:09The hopefuls who have survived the first cut
00:41:12Wait with their fate in the top 30 not established
00:41:15I still could go home
00:41:16I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety
00:41:19Thank you so much
00:41:20He has a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go
00:41:23When the talent's that good
00:41:24I think I'm nervous for them
00:41:27Every time I hear like the audience
00:41:29A little part of me is like
00:41:30Like
00:41:31I'm gonna throw up
00:41:32Here
00:41:3226 year old
00:41:34Genevi
00:41:36Pickle Girl
00:41:38Remember Pickle Girl, Lana?
00:41:39I love pickles
00:41:40Who doesn't?
00:41:45You're gonna still yet have to push
00:41:47Yes
00:41:47Even more with some of the singers we have
00:41:50For this performance
00:41:51They're gonna see me bring like
00:41:53A little more of whatever they were looking for
00:41:55Especially with the band
00:41:56Like once that band started
00:41:57I was like oh yeah
00:41:58I'm ready I got this
00:41:59One, two
00:42:00I'm a dude
00:42:00Come on girl
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts?
00:42:03No one's admitting that they're nervous
00:42:04And it's pissing me off
00:42:06You are nervous
00:42:07And I'm nervous
00:42:08I'm admitting that
00:42:08Just admit that you're nervous
00:42:13All of these lines across my face
00:42:18Tell you the stories of who I am
00:42:22So many stories of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got to where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:37When you've got no one to tell them
00:42:42Tell it's true
00:42:45I was made for you
00:42:51I climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:56Swim on the rocks the ocean well
00:43:01I crossed all the lines and I broke all through
00:43:05Maybe I broke them all for you
00:43:10Oh, because even when I went flat through
00:43:15You made me feel I didn't mean something to do
00:43:21I was made for you
00:43:27I was made for you
00:43:29Oh, yes, when it's true
00:43:31That I was made for you
00:43:43I was inventing you
00:43:47Love her!
00:43:48Love her!
00:43:53Wow!
00:43:54You have this energy around you
00:43:56That you just feel like you want to be on stage
00:43:58Like owning the moment
00:44:00And you should be very, very happy
00:44:02Good job
00:44:02Thank you so much!
00:44:04Thank you
00:44:08Oh my God, I was so cool
00:44:11They stood up! Let's go!
00:44:13Her voice is like
00:44:14Horn
00:44:14Oh, she's got that rock kind of thing at the top
00:44:18Yes
00:44:18She was clear
00:44:19She was good
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit
00:44:21I feel really good about that
00:44:22And my nail just popped off
00:44:24Perfect timing
00:44:25Okay
00:44:29Next and hoping her dreams will take flight
00:44:31Is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird
00:44:33From the quad to Hollywood week
00:44:35Just like that
00:44:37Oh, it's gone so fast
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:40Uh, yes
00:44:41Yes, I would love to
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do, but like
00:44:44This is more important than me
00:44:46A week ago
00:44:46If you told me I was doing American Idol
00:44:48I wouldn't have believed you
00:44:49Because I didn't even know I was auditioning
00:44:51But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing
00:44:57You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist
00:45:02And a performer
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them
00:45:05Where I have some more preparation
00:45:06Than my audition with them initially
00:45:08Now I'm here
00:45:10To remind you
00:45:13Of the mess you left when you went away
00:45:17It's not fair
00:45:19To deny me
00:45:21I'm the cross I bear
00:45:24That you gave to me
00:45:26Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:45:27I don't know
00:45:33Of the mess that you left when you went away
00:45:37It's not fair
00:45:39To deny me
00:45:42Of the cross I bear
00:45:44That you gave to me
00:45:46Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:45:48I don't know
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers
00:45:57So I'm just glad that I went out there and did my best
00:46:00Way to own your moment
00:46:02Just remember
00:46:03Make sure you land the vocals all the way
00:46:05But you should be very, very proud
00:46:07Good job
00:46:15As the night goes on
00:46:16The judges are feeling the weight of some tough decisions
00:46:21Aye, aye, aye
00:46:23Thread the band-aid off
00:46:29Genevieve
00:46:31And Jason
00:46:36You're still in the mix
00:46:40Jackie
00:46:40You're not going through
00:46:45The fact that I made it this far
00:46:46I'm really grateful
00:46:48And
00:46:48Yeah, I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me into the top 30
00:46:57Because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned as more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:14Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard
00:47:17There are people that are really good that we are having to send home
00:47:21We got more bloodshed coming
00:47:23We have some singles
00:47:27Welcome back to Idol
00:47:29Where the night's final group of hopefuls are taking the stage
00:47:34Feeling nervous, aren't you bored?
00:47:39With your quiet voice
00:47:41Wow
00:47:42An impeccable style
00:47:46You let them look while they can
00:47:52You let them spin
00:47:56You let them scatter
00:47:59You let them scatter
00:48:02Go away
00:48:03And into the boys
00:48:06Out of my mind
00:48:26I'm seeing authenticity, I'm seeing style, I'm seeing uniqueness, and that's what it
00:48:31takes to do well in this competition.
00:48:34That was solid.
00:48:36Solid.
00:48:38Up next, and here to inspire others, is Mississippi voice teacher, Daniel Stallworth.
00:48:45Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:48:48To make the top 30, it will mean a lot to me.
00:48:50It will help me keep pushing the narrative, to never stop believing.
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students, to let them know that you can reach your goals, never give up.
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you?
00:49:00That's exactly right.
00:49:02I didn't really expect them to react the way that they did.
00:49:04It made me feel like, yes, I can believe that I'm a star.
00:49:07All right, make sure you can hear yourself down there, check those wages out, and then we'll
00:49:10go.
00:49:11On Hollywood Week, I'm going to perform Stand By Me.
00:49:13No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid.
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage this big, going straight in, diving in, head first.
00:49:24I'm going to definitely keep the energy and sing like I'll never sing again.
00:49:28Y'all clap your hands.
00:49:30Come on.
00:49:32When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see.
00:49:48No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:52No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:57Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
00:50:04If the skies that we look upon should tumble and fall, for the mountains should crumble in the sea.
00:50:38I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid.
00:50:49I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid.
00:50:55Yay!
00:51:03Wow.
00:51:05Wow, wow.
00:51:07To take a song that we've heard so many times and to just take it to the raptors of this
00:51:14place, you're a truly special person.
00:51:17Way to go, man.
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by for results,
00:51:25Brooks hopes he could do enough to stand out.
00:51:28I've never performed on a stage.
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family,
00:51:33so I'm very excited, but I'm also still very nervous.
00:51:38I come from a musical family.
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicus.
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life,
00:51:44but I just never took it seriously.
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me.
00:51:51I had trouble making friends.
00:51:53I was very shy, awkward.
00:51:57I started playing soccer around age six.
00:52:01That kind of led to making friends,
00:52:03and from that point on, soccer was my life.
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro,
00:52:10to see my last name on my back with a number that I liked.
00:52:13My freshman year of high school,
00:52:15halfway through the soccer season,
00:52:19I went for a free kick,
00:52:23and I planted my left foot to kick it,
00:52:26and I felt like a gear switch in my lower left back,
00:52:29and I couldn't feel my legs.
00:52:31I snapped my back in half.
00:52:34And that changed everything.
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved,
00:52:41and be around the other boys, and be a part of things.
00:52:45I was lost for a long time,
00:52:47and then I picked up a guitar,
00:52:49and I didn't want to put it down.
00:52:52You haven't played out much.
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much.
00:52:57Well, stop doing that.
00:52:59I just want to hear more.
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities,
00:53:05but this holds the future that I want.
00:53:09All right, let's see what they think about him.
00:53:11All right, here we go.
00:53:31I will find myself walking down the road all alone.
00:53:40Just like a rolling stone.
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul,
00:53:53and it grows just like an ocean wave.
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way,
00:54:06and it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:54:13Well, this wind stirs up the hurricane,
00:54:20and it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:54:28I am lost amongst these north country stars.
00:54:34Where do you find me?
00:54:37Lead me on home.
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:48There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:49It's the hurt I had since I left of you.
00:54:55There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:55:01There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:55:02And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain.
00:55:08Well, this wind stirs up the hurricane,
00:55:16and I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:55:48And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it is pretty special.
00:55:55When you have this unique voice paired with these songs
00:56:00that are going to happen in your life,
00:56:01it's going to be really, really special.
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?
00:56:11It was great.
00:56:12Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:14Wow.
00:56:15It felt good.
00:56:16One must again.

01:12:53Tough decisions
01:12:54Very tough, guys
01:13:00The next to go in the top 30
01:13:04Is going to be
01:13:13Welcome back to Hollywood Week
01:13:20I want to stress to you guys
01:13:22You are both very talented young men
01:13:26Tough decisions
01:13:27Very tough, guys
01:13:34Michael, you're in our top 30
01:13:39Jason, it's the end of the road for you, buddy
01:13:41All right
01:13:44Thank you so much
01:13:55I'm pissed
01:13:56No
01:14:04He got the top 30, which
01:14:05Well deserved
01:14:06But I'm glad I didn't have to just sit there
01:14:09I got to go out and try to get it
01:14:10So
01:14:11Yeah
01:14:11But
01:14:12Oh, man
01:14:12I'm just so thankful for how far I got
01:14:15God is so good
01:14:16It's just so amazing
01:14:24You know, I just went out there
01:14:26I did my best and everything
01:14:27You know, I prayed about everything
01:14:30God showed me the light
01:14:31I made it in the top 30
01:14:33All right, we just took care of one
01:14:34We have 29
01:14:36That's right
01:14:37One final spot
01:14:40One open spot
01:14:41Mary Jo or Chloe
01:14:45That's how I feel
01:14:46Chloe has a great freaking voice
01:14:48She's incredible
01:14:49And I'm like sad because I love Chloe
01:14:52Bring all the water works
01:14:55I do know Mary Jo
01:14:56We became close throughout Hollywood week
01:14:59She's performed many times
01:15:02And I have not
01:15:03I didn't know we were going to
01:15:05That's all right
01:15:05So this is once in a lifetime for me
01:15:09When we give you confidence
01:15:11Because we can sense that it's not all there
01:15:15Go for it all
01:15:16But since arriving at Hollywood week
01:15:19The self-doubt has not left Chloe's side
01:15:22I feel like I let myself down
01:15:24I haven't self-sabotaged really badly
01:15:27I tried to do the best that I could
01:15:30It's almost like she's given up on herself
01:15:34Mary Jo's Hollywood experience goes back five seasons
01:15:41Where her nerves led to forgetting the lyrics
01:15:43In her duet with Benson Boone
01:15:45You just lived your worst nightmare
01:15:52Now that you've experienced it
01:15:54You have to understand
01:15:55We all mess up
01:15:56But what you have is a great gift
01:16:00But there was no holding back for her this season
01:16:02We're so glad to have you back in our presence
01:16:05And you are singing your butt off
01:16:08Congratulations
01:16:09Thank you
01:16:11Are they ready?
01:16:16When you're out there, I want you to say one thing to yourself in your head
01:16:18Do not rush
01:16:20You're meant to do this
01:16:21Get out there and sing the you know what out of this song
01:16:25Amen
01:16:26All right, ladies
01:16:32So we have Mary Jo and Chloe duking it out for that last final spot into the top 30
01:16:41So give it your all
01:16:44Who wants to go first?
01:16:45Oh, Lord
01:16:47I'll go
01:16:48I'll go
01:16:49Yeah, I'll go
01:16:51What are you going to sing, Chloe?

01:16:54Okay
01:17:05You Stole the Show
01:17:08Got a sending ovation
01:17:13I lost control
01:17:17From the stage
01:17:19From your facing

01:17:28I'm impatient

01:17:34So I chase you
01:17:36To the pavement
01:17:38Rub me in your arms again
01:17:43Rub me in your arms again

01:17:44Makes me shiver

01:17:51That I'm safe again
01:17:54That you came here different
01:17:56No time to define
01:18:00But before we get closer

01:19:22And I told you to be kind
01:19:26And in the morning I'll be with you
01:19:29But it will be a different kind
01:19:32Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
