00:13:39So

00:13:57Yes
00:14:00Oh my god
00:14:01For Disney week
00:14:02I'm singing Remember Me
00:14:03From the movie Coco
00:14:04So I'm kind of dedicating the song
00:14:06To like my family
00:14:07I miss my family a lot
00:14:09Hopefully I remember the words
00:14:10Hold on let me run through this in my head
00:14:14I knew the lyrics
00:14:16I was very confident about that
00:14:17And then
00:14:18Remember me
00:14:22Getting next to her
00:14:23And talking
00:14:24Freaks me out

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
00:14:36Reel it in
00:14:37The world only knew
00:14:39The little amount of time
00:14:41We have to prepare for something

00:17:00Though I have to travel far
00:17:03Remember me
00:17:06Each time you hear a sack of talk
00:17:11Know that I'm with you
00:17:14The only way that I can be
00:17:18Until you're in my arms
00:17:24Again
00:17:26Again
00:17:38Oh
00:17:52I know that I'm with you
00:17:56The only way that I can be
00:18:02Until you're in my arms
00:18:08Again
00:18:20Remember me
00:18:39Brayden, you have such a great like getting into character kind of presence when you sing
00:18:49and it's really refreshing to watch.
00:18:51It's not like you're just out here singing a song and dazzling us with your voice.
00:18:56It's you're getting into the character and telling a story and you're pulling us all in as you do it
00:19:01and it's pretty captivating to watch.
00:19:03It's a cool talent that you have.
00:19:06Thank you.
00:19:09Brayden, I am so proud of you.
00:19:12Yes, you remember the words.
00:19:13I see that.
00:19:14But what I love about you, you're such, you're a star.
00:19:16I really think you are a star.
00:19:18Isn't he a star, y'all?
00:19:21In many ways, like you captivated me just sitting in your rehearsal alone
00:19:27and you didn't need to captivate you just now, guys, watching him perform.
00:19:31You brought us into you.
00:19:33I felt like I was in the scene from the movie.
00:19:36You know what I mean?
00:19:37And you did an excellent job and I hope to see you again back next week.
00:19:45Yeah, that was a very challenging, tricky song that didn't.
00:19:50And we've seen you come out and sing big moments.
00:19:53But that thing was tender, a lot of movements, a lot of chords.
00:19:57In this high-pressure scenario, you did a great job creating the mood
00:20:03and showing us things that you can do in the future.
00:20:07I saw a lot in your future in that performance.
00:20:12You know how hard it is to have the band behind you
00:20:17and your voice is all that's out there.
00:20:20And for you to navigate that with your falsetto going into your natural head voice,
00:20:24I think you did so well on that.
00:20:26By the way, that was very, as Luke said, tricky.
00:20:28But thank God you remember the lyrics.
00:20:30So it was all right, huh?
00:20:32Yes, thank you.
00:20:33Thank you.
00:20:34Great job.
00:20:34Thank you, everyone.
00:20:35Great job.
00:20:38Backstage before the show, I was talking with Jennifer
00:20:40and she said, that Brayden, he's so talented and he is hysterical.
00:20:45Great sense of humor.
00:20:47Cracking a lot of jokes.
00:20:48Yeah, I got jokes.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50Me too.
00:20:51Oh, you want to make fun of my shortness?
00:20:54They were like the same height, too.
00:20:55See?
00:20:57I was going to try that out.
00:20:58We actually are.
00:20:59No, it's not good.
00:20:59All right.
00:21:00Can you do the Yoda?
00:21:02No.
00:21:03No, not really.

00:21:20Brayden, everyone.
00:21:21Well done.
00:21:22That's how we do it, buddy.
00:21:23Thank you.
00:21:28Don't forget to check out the Disney performances from all your top nine tomorrow morning when
00:21:33they drop on streaming services everywhere.
00:21:35Now, we're shifting things in overdrive with Lucas Leon's visit to Cars Land in Disney's California Adventure Park.
00:21:44Here we go.
00:21:47Today, I'm here with my mom.
00:21:49When I was real young, she took me to Disney World.
00:21:52So it's pretty cool to be able to go to Disneyland with her.
00:21:55We're in Radiator Springs.
00:21:57Tell me more about Cars.
00:21:58We're about to go ride Radiator Springs racers.
00:22:01I'm a big Cars fan, so this is awesome for me.
00:22:04I think walking through Radiator Springs is the perfect way to prepare.
00:22:08You're singing Life is a Highway.
00:22:10Life is a highway.
00:22:12Okay.
00:22:13I want to ride me all night long.
00:22:16Mentor this week is Jennifer Hudson.
00:22:18It's awesome.
00:22:19I respect her in every single way.
00:22:21Life is a Highway.
00:22:22And why did you choose that song?
00:22:23Well, it's Disney night, and I'm a big car guy.
00:22:26And the movie Cars.
00:22:27Grew up on it.
00:22:28Watched it over and over.
00:22:29This guy's my buddy right 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 instinct and presence in your music.
00:22:40I got one note.
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42Look at the crowd.
00:22:43Because it feel like a way you could bring in the room.
00:22:46Yeah.
00:22:46You know what I mean?
00:22:47Yeah.
00:22:48You feel that instinct with me, right?
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:51Lucas needs to look at the crowd, so I gave him an assignment.
00:22:54I'm going to sit there, and I sat in the judge's chair.
00:22:56Yes, I did.
00:22:57That's what it looked like back here.
00:22:59Oh, my God.
00:23:00I'm on American Idol.
00:23:04I want to see you over here.
00:23:08Bring me your eyes.
00:23:10I got an idea.
00:23:11Because you are holding the instrument, I think it'll be good to put it in your vocal.
00:23:15Where you're like, everybody sing, life is a ah, and fall back into that hook.
00:23:20He got the vocals.
00:23:21He got the instrument.
00:23:23He has to have the presence.
00:23:25I'm going to be cheering you on, if I'm proud of you already, young man.
00:23:28I need Lucas to own the stage like it is a highway.
00:23:38We won't hesitate to break down the garden gate.
00:23:44There's not much time left today.
00:23:58Life's like a road that you traveled on just one day here and the next day gone.
00:24:03Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stare, sometimes you turn you back to the wind.
00:24:08There's a word outside every darkened door.
00:24:10The blues won't haunt you anymore.
00:24:13Whether brave or free and the love or sore, come ride with me to the distant shore.
00:24:17We won't hesitate to break down the garden gate.
00:24:23There's not much time left today.
00:24:27Because life is a highway.
00:24:30I want to ride it all night long.
00:24:36If you're going my way, I won't drive it all night long.
00:24:43I won't drive it all night long.
00:24:47There was a distance between you and I.
00:24:54Between you and I.
00:24:58Misunderstanding once and then I look it in the eye.
00:25:08Come on!
00:25:09All night.
00:25:11I want to drive it all night long.
00:25:14All night long.
00:25:16All night long.
00:25:18All night long.
00:25:21Because life is a highway.
00:25:27Life is a highway.
00:25:31I want to ride it all night long.
00:25:37If you're going my way, I won't drive it all night long.
00:25:44I want to ride it all night long.
00:25:46I want to ride it all night long.
00:25:47The life is a highway.
00:26:03¡Gracias por ver!
00:26:20You are well on your way, young man.
00:26:23Continue to just trust your instinct
00:26:26because you have an instinct that you couldn't even pay for, okay?
00:26:29That's what's going to get you further on that highway
00:26:31that you are already on,
00:26:32and you took us right with you, didn't he, y'all?
00:26:39Yeah, I love at such a young age,
00:26:42you're just comfortable in all these moments.
00:26:44You're so watchable to watch.
00:26:47You don't do anything to make us go,
00:26:49ooh, ooh, ah, ah.
00:26:50It's always like, oh my gosh, look at him.
00:26:53He's got an electric this week.
00:26:56Last week was a piano, and you did chords last week.
00:26:59So just keep having your confidence,
00:27:01and like I said, stay on this highway.
00:27:04You're tearing it up.
00:27:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:07One thing, the one thing I want to tell you
00:27:11is that we come to the show as artists
00:27:13to see what the crowd's going to do.
00:27:15They come to the show to see what we're going to do.
00:27:18Give them everything you know how to do.
00:27:21Or in other words, grab 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, ditto 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 in your head about it,
00:27:39and it was just entertaining.
00:27:40It was fun to watch.
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.
00:27:48Mark, so compare the 18-year-old Luke Bryan to Lucas here.
00:27:55He's doing a little better than old this Lucas, but...
00:27:58Not sure.
00:27:59Yeah, well, the thing is, I mean,
00:28:01just to have the confidence,
00:28:02I remember when I moved to Nashville
00:28:04and play in these big rooms,
00:28:05I mean, I would not look confident.
00:28:07So the fact that he's able to just be cool,
00:28:10chill, calm, and collective and all that
00:28:12is really impressive.
00:28:14Instinct and confidence.
00:28:15Well done.
00:28:15Great performance.
00:28:16If you want Lucas to make it to the finish,
00:28:18vote for him right now.
00:28:20Head to our official PIN voting post
00:28:21on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
00:28:24to comment with his name.
00:28:25You can also vote online or via text.
00:28:29Lucas, everyone.
00:28:30Great job.
00:28:30Thank you.
00:28:37After this, Hannah Harper with Tiana's theme
00:28:40from The Princess and the Frog.
00:28:43Disney Night on Idol is live
00:28:45and back in just a moment.
00:28:48Hang on.
00:28:57We are having fun tonight.
00:29:01Back on our annual Disney Night.
00:29:04You're fitting right in, Jennifer Hudson.
00:29:05Hi.
00:29:06If you can't get enough American Idol,
00:29:08be sure to check out the American Idol
00:29:09official podcast.
00:29:10This week, Lance Bass is stopping by,
00:29:13plus David Archuleta.
00:29:14It drops Wednesday on Hulu and Disney Plus
00:29:17or wherever you get your podcast.
00:29:19Now, here's how Jennifer helped Hannah Harper
00:29:21perfect her performance.
00:29:24Oh, yeah.
00:29:26The Disney song that I'm singing this week
00:29:27is almost there from Princess and the Frog.
00:29:30Ain't got time for messing around
00:29:34and it's not my style.
00:29:36What I love about this song is I feel like I can connect
00:29:37to the story, but I am nervous about the choreography
00:29:39side of the song.
00:29:41Two weeks ago, I had all this choreography planned
00:29:43for Heads Carolina, Tales California,
00:29:44and I went out there and I froze like a statue.
00:29:46And then, as soon as I got online, everyone's like,
00:29:48her voice is okay, but she sucks at performing.
00:29:51And I was like, yes, she does.
00:29:52Like, they're not wrong.
00:29:53This week is my redemption moment.
00:29:55Look out, boys.
00:29:56I'm coming through and I'm almost there.
00:30:01I hate this.
00:30:02I love all of that energy.
00:30:03You give it.
00:30:04Say that.
00:30:05I was extremely embarrassed while I was singing that time.
00:30:08My whole body was hot.
00:30:09Oh, Lord have mercy.
00:30:11I was like, I have to stop.
00:30:13You have three beautiful children.
00:30:14I do.
00:30:14Well, have you ever practiced with them?
00:30:16I dance with them.
00:30:17You dance with them?
00:30:18Yeah.
00:30:18Okay, well, what if this room was your children?
00:30:20Imagine them there.
00:30:21Bringing me back home is super helpful just because it
00:30:23reminds me, like, that's my comfort zone.
00:30:26Acting like I'm just singing to my babies and just
00:30:28carrying on and that will change everything for me.
00:30:30Oh, I see Mickey.
00:30:31I think that having a day to get to go spend at Disneyland
00:30:33was so nice and just to watch their faces light up.
00:30:37It's going to help me get into character.
00:30:39Okay, go ahead.
00:30:39I'm you.
00:30:40Jennifer took on the character.
00:30:42And I'm almost there.
00:30:44Look at that.
00:30:45I was like, okay, this is exactly what the point is.
00:30:48Watching her, I was just like, I got to bring it.
00:30:50People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care.
00:30:55You see what I'm saying?
00:30:56Moving on the stage is like outside of Hannah's element,
00:31:00but this is it.
00:31:01It doesn't get any bigger than this.
00:31:03It's time to perform.
00:31:04I know she can do this.
00:31:05No pressure, but have fun and embrace your moment.
00:31:08You look like a Disney princess.
00:31:10Don't you feel like a Disney princess?
00:31:15Mama, I don't have time for dancing.
00:31:19That's just going to have to wait a while.
00:31:24Ain't got time for messing around.
00:31:27And it's not my style.
00:31:31This old town can slow you down.
00:31:35People taking the easy way.
00:31:41But I know exactly where I'm going, getting closer and closer every day.
00:31:54People down here think I'm crazy, but I don't care.
00:32:02Trials and tribulations, I've had my share.
00:32:07But there ain't nothing going to stop me now, cause I'm almost there.
00:32:14I remember daddy told me fairy tales can come true.
00:32:22You've got to make them happen.
00:32:25It all depends on you.
00:32:27So I work real hard each and every day.
00:32:32And things for sure are going my way.
00:32:35Just doing what I do.
00:32:38Look out, boys, I'm coming through.
00:32:42And I'm almost there.
00:32:45Oh, I'm almost there.
00:32:49People are going to come here from everywhere and I'm almost there.
00:32:58There's been trials and tribulations.
00:33:04You know I've had my share.
00:33:09Climbed a mountain and I crossed a river and I'm almost there.
00:33:15I'm almost there.
00:33:18Oh, I'm almost there.
00:33:41¡Suscríbete al canal!
00:33:54I loved it. I loved it. It made my heart smile. It made me smile watching you grow into, like,
00:34:04you kind of started with this Reba McIntyre little attitude thing, and then you grew into your character, and you
00:34:12didn't overdo anything. You did it perfectly like your personality that we know you is, and I loved it. One
00:34:21of my favorite performances you've ever done.
00:34:22Thank you so much.
00:34:26If I have to say ditto, ditto, that's a ditto, but I'm going to give you a little hint about
00:34:32something. I learned this a long time ago. What you do is whatever you're going to wear on stage, shoes,
00:34:39whatever shoes you're going to wear on stage, right?
00:34:42Make sure you wear them in rehearsal so 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. Otherwise, your performance was amazing.
00:34:56Thank you.
00:34:59I've said this before, and I will say it again. I mean, this is another way that you remind me
00:35:04of myself because I got dragged when I was on this show for not moving enough.
00:35:09And honestly, it was just, I had never done anything like this before, and now I can't not move. Like,
00:35:17I sing with my entire body. So I feel like you are on your way.
00:35:20Just keep taking those steps. Keep getting more comfortable in the space that you're in. You were in character. You
00:35:27sounded beautiful. You look gorgeous. You should be very proud.
00:35:35Everything, everything they just said and more, you look absolutely beautiful, first of all. And I love how you were
00:35:42natural 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, but you stood there
00:35:50and you sang that song and you gave us a little bit here and there.
00:35:53As Carrie said, you're on your way. You're almost there. Yes, sir, I love sister. You keep on going. You
00:36:00tip your way to it, and before you know it, you will be right where you want to be, okay?
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 with
00:36:24her body.
00:36:24She was leaning left and leaning right, trying to get you to move around, and you did.
00:36:28And what a performance.
00:36:29Wonderful to watch.
00:36:30Two great weeks in a row for Hannah.
00:36:31You can vote for her right now.
00:36:33If you want to see her in your top seven next week, you have five ways to get those votes

00:38:29You've got a friend in me.
00:38:33When the road looks rough-headed, and you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed.
00:38:41You just remember what your old pal said, boy, you've got a friend in me.
00:38:49Yeah, you've got a friend in me.
00:38:58You've got a friend in me.
00:39:02You've got a friend in me.
00:39:06You've got a friend in me.
00:39:23You've got a friend in me.
00:39:27Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am.
00:39:31Bigger and stronger, baby.
00:39:35But none of them will ever love you the way I do.
00:39:41It's me and you, boy.
00:39:43And as the years go by, our friendship will never die
00:39:52You're gonna see it's our destiny

00:41:52Today I'm here with my sister Laura at Disneyland
00:41:54I'm here with my sister Laura at Disneyland
00:41:55I'm here with my sister Laura at Disneyland
00:41:55Thank you guys
00:41:56Is that where we're going?
00:41:58We got to climb to the top of Adventureland Treehouse together
00:42:00It'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
00:42:07It'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 with my sister
00:42:23We have this picture of us at Disney World
00:42:27We're just little kids
00:42:28We're adults but we can be kids for the day
00:42:30You know
00:42:32Let it go
00:42:33Let it go
00:42:35This week I'm going to be singing Let It Go from Frozen
00:42:39Chris blew me completely away
00:42:41To take a big Disney ballad
00:42:44And then bring rock and country to it
00:42:46Let it go
00:42:47Oh
00:42:48First of all I love your voice on this song
00:42:51Now performance was
00:42:52Oh you know
00:42:53He's figuring it out
00:42:54It would be really fascinating to see you work the stage
00:42:57I'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
00:43:13And I want to believe it
00:43:14This is it
00:43:14I feel naked up here
00:43:16I'm in my underwear
00:43:16Like
00:43:17Yes
00:43:17If you're uncomfortable
00:43:19The audience is going to be uncomfortable
00:43:20Pour it out
00:43:21Put it in
00:43:22No
00:43:23I want to let it go
00:43:25Own it
00:43:26Almost like you Hercules
00:43:28A Tarzan or somebody
00:43:30That's Disney
00:43:30That'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 wide on the mountain
00:43:47I makes everything seem small
00:43:51The fears that once controlled me
00:43:54Can't get to me at all
00:43:57The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
00:44:05Couldn't keep it in
00:44:07Heaven knows I tried
00:44:12It's time to see what I can do
00:44:15To test the limits and break
00:44:18You know right, no wrong
00:44:20No more for me
00:44:24I'm free
00:44:27Let it go
00:44:29Let it go
00:44:31Can't hold it back anymore
00:44:34Let it go
00:44:36Let it go
00:44:37Turn away and slam the door
00:44:41I don't care
00:44:44What they're going to say
00:44:48Let the storm wedge on
00:44:55My power flurries through the air into the ground
00:45:01My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
00:45:08And one thought crystallizes like an icy place
00:45:14I'm never going to die
00:45:18I'm never going back
00:45:18I'm never going back
00:45:19The 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
00:45:32Turn away and slam the door
00:45:35I don't care
00:45:39What they're going to say
00:45:42Let the storm wedge on
00:45:52Cold never bothered me anyway
00:46:04Way to go
00:46:06Way to go, Chris
00:46:07Listen, I was just worried of one thing
00:46:10Jennifer gave you a note
00:46:11That she was
00:46:12Going to give all that power behind
00:46:14I said the man could blow out a kidney
00:46:15Be careful on that
00:46:16But I think you did fantastic
00:46:18Fantastic
00:46:19And the fact is
00:46:20You were giving us expression
00:46:22Stage presence
00:46:23It was fantastic
00:46:23Thank you so much
00:46:25Chris
00:46:25I'm really proud of you
00:46:27I feel like that is the most
00:46:29We have seen you emote
00:46:31You seem like you were having fun
00:46:33And because of it
00:46:34It's like she said
00:46:34If you're uncomfortable
00:46:36We're going to be uncomfortable
00:46:37And you kind of seem like
00:46:38You 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
00:46:45That's the point
00:46:46I want to see more
00:46:47Thank you
00:46:49Because Chris
00:46:50You're the type
00:46:51You're such a teddy bear
00:46:53You're so lovable
00:46:54And adorable guys
00:46:55He really is
00:46:56And I just want to cheer for you
00:46:57And cheer you on
00:46:58You're a joy to watch
00:46:59You have an amazing voice
00:47:00What I don't want you to do
00:47:02Is lose the song
00:47:03While you're performing
00:47:04You didn't lose it
00:47:05But just to keep that in mind
00:47:06Because this is a singing competition
00:47:08First
00:47:09So don't ever forget that
00:47:10Okay
00:47:11Singing comes first
00:47:12But then show them
00:47:13Listen
00:47:14I deserve to be here
00:47:15This is my stage too
00:47:16And you earned your right to be here
00:47:18So own it
00:47:18Thank you so much
00:47:25It's really tough to follow her
00:47:27By the way
00:47:29But when I saw your audition
00:47:31I never in a million years
00:47:33Would have picked
00:47:33That I would hear you sing
00:47:35Let it go at some point
00:47:37I thought maybe like
00:47:39Bad company or something
00:47:42But great job
00:47:43In playing along with the moment
00:47:45In learning what you can do
00:47:46That'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
00:47:54And I didn't picture
00:47:55That song
00:47:56That performance
00:47:57On this night
00:47:58Talk about your song choice
00:48:00And why I connected with you
00:48:01Yeah
00:48:01I just felt like
00:48:02I wanted to kind of build off
00:48:04Of what you guys said last week
00:48:05Like you saw energy
00:48:06And Jennifer
00:48:07You were just saying
00:48:08You gotta show them
00:48:09What you got
00:48:10And it just felt like
00:48:11Yeah
00:48:11It's outside of my comfort zone
00:48:12But it's also
00:48:13It's an extension of me
00:48:14So it's fun to branch out
00:48:15There you go

00:50:03I'm here with my son
00:50:04Drew and I
00:50:05Wrote Rise of the Resistance
00:50:06And it was so much fun
00:50:10Having Drew here with me
00:50:11It means the world to me
00:50:12One moment
00:50:13Oh Drew
00:50:13Has this young traveler
00:50:15Come to find adventure
00:50:17Or to find trouble
00:50:19Seeing him happy
00:50:20Here at Disneyland
00:50:21This is his first time
00:50:22It makes me feel so good
00:50:24Your allegiance
00:50:24With the first order
00:50:25Okay
00:50:26Order
00:50:27Very good
00:50:29That was
00:50:31Insane
00:50:33It was nice
00:50:34To disconnect
00:50:35From the competition
00:50:35I'm enjoying myself
00:50:36But hey
00:50:37I'm ready to work
00:50:37Can I give you a hug?
00:50:39Of course
00:50:39I am a big fan
00:50:40Of Jennifer Hudson
00:50:41Oh my god
00:50:42I've been watching you
00:50:43Sing us down on the TV
00:50:44Oh lord
00:50:45I've been watching her
00:50:46Since I was a little girl
00:50:47So hopefully I don't be starstruck
00:50:48Tell me you sing again
00:50:49My song is
00:50:50Circle of Life
00:50:51The Lion King
00:50:54I think I know that song
00:50:55I sang this song
00:50:57On this show
00:50:57Ooh Chai
00:50:59Season 3
00:51:00So we have something
00:51:01For you
00:51:03Something
00:51:13Oh my god
00:51:14That is crazy
00:51:16I'm getting emotional
00:51:17Me too
00:51:18Like how life changing
00:51:20This experience
00:51:21Truly is
00:51:22Yes
00:51:22What we do
00:51:23Here
00:51:24Is
00:51:25The blueprint
00:51:26Setting you up
00:51:27For your future
00:51:28When I say priceless
00:51:30Priceless
00:51:30The circle
00:51:32Of life
00:51:35Circle of life
00:51:36Was a game changing moment
00:51:37For me
00:51:38So I'm hoping
00:51:39It's the same
00:51:39For her
00:51:40You better sing
00:51:41Girl
00:51:49From the day we arrive on the planet
00:51:54And blanking step into the sun
00:52:00There 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
00:52:17And some of us soar
00:52:21To the stars
00:52:24And some of us sail
00:52:27Through our troubles
00:52:29And 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
00:52:51Through faith and love
00:52:56Till we find our face
00:53:02On the path unwinding
00:53:08In the circle
00:53:13In the circle
00:53:15In the circle of life
00:53:18Oh, the circle
00:53:23Till we find our place
00:53:28Oh, the path unwinding
00:53:33Oh, the path unwinding
00:53:38Oh, the circle
00:53:38In the circle
00:53:42It's in the circle
00:53:48In the circle
00:53:53The circle of life
00:54:16She got a shoe
00:54:18She got a shoe
00:54:33What they said
00:54:34That's all I got
00:54:36What they said
00:54:39This song
00:54:40Is a testimony
00:54:42And you just performed it
00:54:45Like your testimony
00:54:47And I want to say
00:54:48I was looking at your baby
00:54:49Over there
00:54:50Singing this song
00:54:51As his mother
00:54:52Was singing it
00:54:53And it takes me back
00:54:54To the first time
00:54:55I took my son
00:54:56Who's somewhere
00:54:56Around here right now
00:54:57Watching circle of life
00:54:58And I was bawling in tears
00:54:59And to think
00:55:00The full circle of my life
00:55:01That I'm sitting here
00:55:02Watching you sing this song
00:55:03I hope it does the same
00:55:05For you as it did for me
00:55:06Because you just did that
00:55:07Thank you
00:55:12Yeah
00:55:15Jennifer don't know
00:55:16I already learned
00:55:16You can't look at your son
00:55:18When you're singing
00:55:19Because I start crying
00:55:20I've already
00:55:20Yeah, so you learned
00:55:21The hard way
00:55:22I did
00:55:22Yeah, you did
00:55:23You didn't warn me
00:55:24I did not warn you
00:55:25About that
00:55:25But great job

01:00:09Premieres this summer
01:00:10On Disney Channel
01:00:11And Disney Plus
01:00:12Don't miss it
01:00:13Now he's trying to climb
01:00:15Into the top seven
01:00:16With a Hannah Montana pick
01:00:18It is Brooks
01:00:19Let's go Brooks
01:00:25My sister flew in
01:00:26So she could come
01:00:27To Disneyland with me
01:00:28Let's go
01:00:30I grew up watching
01:00:31My sister do musical theater
01:00:33Very confident
01:00:33On a stage
01:00:34And once singing
01:00:35Came to me
01:00:36A couple years ago
01:00:37She definitely pushed me
01:00:38To be more
01:00:39Out there with it
01:00:40To be on American Idol
01:00:41Everything is surreal
01:00:43Can I take a picture with you?
01:00:45I never thought
01:00:46Anything would lead
01:00:47To people knowing me
01:00:48Just by my face
01:00:49And it's really nice
01:00:50Having people
01:00:51Notice you for you
01:00:53Brooks in the house
01:00:55How much experience
01:00:56Have you had prior to this?
01:00:57Just to American Idol
01:00:58What do you mean?
01:00:59My first performance
01:01:00Was my audition
01:01:01You're brave
01:01:02I'm still working
01:01:03On the confidence part
01:01:03What are you singing?
01:01:05The climb
01:01:06The climb?
01:01:06I relate to the climb
01:01:08It's a stage I am in life
01:01:09Just progressing
01:01:10Being able to overcome
01:01:11Confidence 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
01:01:23Allow his voice to be heard
01:01:25It's the climb
01:01:28I almost want like
01:01:30One more note
01:01:30Because you're climbing
01:01:31So why not climb vocally?
01:01:33It's the climb
01:01:34Maybe
01:01:35It's the climb
01:01:37Even that
01:01:38Just that one extra
01:01:39Little nuance
01:01:40It's the climb
01:01:45Yeah
01:01:52It's the climb
01:01:55You better sing
01:01:57You sat there
01:01:58With that swag
01:01:59I saw all the confidence
01:02:00In the world
01:02:04I'm gonna have my shoe ready
01:02:06You only 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
01:02:28Said
01:02:29You'll never reach it
01:02:31Every step I'm taking
01:02:34Every move I make feels
01:02:37Lost with no direction
01:02:39My faith is shaking
01:02:42And I
01:02:44Gotta keep trying
01:02:47Gotta keep my head
01:02:51Held high
01:02:55There's always gonna be
01:02:57Another mountain
01:03:01I'm always gonna wanna make it move
01:03:07Ain't about how fast I get there
01:03:10Ain't about what's waiting
01:03:12On the other side
01:03:18The 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
01:03:37I'm gonna remember most
01:03:40Just gotta keep going
01:03:42And I
01:03:44Gotta keep trying
01:03:49Just keep pushing
01:03:51Oh
01:03:54There's always gonna be
01:03:56Another mountain
01:03:57Always gonna wanna make it move
01:04:00There's always gonna be
01:04:02Another battle
01:04:03Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
01:04:06Ain't about how fast I get there
01:04:09Ain't about what's waiting
01:04:11And on the other side
01:04:17It's the climb
01:04:22It's the climb
01:04:29It's the climb
01:05:01But you're in the right place.
01:05:03You deserve to be here.
01:05:04You deserve to be here.
01:05:08Yeah, Brooks.
01:05:10Keep digging.
01:05:11I felt like the song may have run away from you a little bit just a couple times.
01:05:15But just keep figuring this out as you go because I love your voice.
01:05:19Just keep chasing this.
01:05:21Thank you.
01:05:21All right.
01:05:26Everybody else has a job of figuring out how to dance, how to move.
01:05:31Your magic is in your voice.
01:05:33And I'm telling you, just keep doing that and you're going places, my friend.
01:05:37Thank you so much.
01:05:39Brooks, you're another one I'm just so proud of because I feel like each week we watch you just get
01:05:45more and more comfortable in the gift that you have.
01:05:47Keep doing that.
01:05:48And I'm just excited to see where you go.
01:05:50Thank you so much.
01:05:52It's always fun to watch you, buddy.

01:06:07Brooks, one of the great things about this show is the people you meet, the relationships you form, the special
01:06:14magical moments that happen.
01:06:16Did you connect with anybody?
01:06:18Because I hear you're a real Prince Charming.
01:06:20Oh, God.
01:06:23Anything you want to share with us?
01:06:26I have to say?
01:06:27Well, somebody's here to surprise you.
01:06:29She's very excited.
01:06:30Former finalist Ray, one of the biggest fans of Brooks, has come back.
01:06:34Thank you.
01:06:46Is there something you want to tell us, Ray?
01:06:50The princess is here to claim her prince.
01:06:53Whoa!
01:06:57Apparently, Ray said this is a hard launch for the two of you.
01:07:00So, congratulations.
01:07:01You never know what comes out of American Idol.
01:07:03Yeah.
01:07:05Good to see you again, Ray.
01:07:07Thanks for coming back.
01:07:08All right.
01:07:08Vote for Brooks.
01:07:09And coming up, an Oscar-winning song for Pocahontas from Jordan McCullough.
01:07:13Idol's Disney Night continues live right after this.
01:07:17Bye.
01:07:18Okay.
01:07:19Okay.
01:07:31Back with you on American Idol.
01:07:33Tonight, our guest judge, the incomparable Jennifer Hudson, doing a fantastic job with us tonight.
01:07:38You having fun?
01:07:39I'm having a blast.
01:07:41I can tell.
01:07:42Yeah.
01:07:42And I love your talk show.
01:07:44Thank you.
01:07:44You're having a good time doing that, too, aren't you?
01:07:46I am.
01:07:46I love people.
01:07:47You know, we love to celebrate.
01:07:49I'm with you.
01:07:50And you're going to go see people with Josh Groban on tour this summer.
01:07:54I am.
01:07:55And I cannot wait.
01:07:56So, make sure you get your ticket, Ryan.
01:07:58I have all the information.
01:07:59You can head to JenniferHudson.World for all the info.
01:08:02And go see her live.
01:08:04Now, here's Jordan McCullough's sweet time at Disneyland Park with its mother, Denise.
01:08:10We're going so much faster than everybody else.
01:08:15My mom is my best friend.
01:08:17And so, having her here with me at Disneyland, it means the most.
01:08:21Love you.
01:08:22Love 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 she was always working is to provide.
01:08:29And I'm so grateful for 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 just for the day.
01:08:45Probably the best week I've had in my life ever.
01:08:47Going to Disneyland to 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.
01:08:55This is the Jennifer Hudson we're talking about.
01:08:56The voice of it all.
01:08:57Hey, Jennifer, we can do a hug.
01:08:59I can give you a hug.
01:09:00Okay.
01:09:00Okay.
01:09:01Back in 2018, Jennifer Hudson commented on one of my singing videos.
01:09:06This meant so much to me.
01:09:07I look up to her so much.
01:09:09The Disney song I'm singing this week is Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas.
01:09:13Have you ever heard the wolf cry?
01:09:17Jordan has a beautiful voice.
01:09:20We would call it an anointing.
01:09:22I'm sitting in bocats while he grinned.
01:09:25You better.
01:09:26I'm sorry.
01:09:27I hate people, too.
01:09:29I couldn't get the shoe off.
01:09:31The shoe may be next.
01:09:32I'm trying not to look at you.
01:09:32Oh, Lord.
01:09:33I'm sorry.
01:09:34Y'all know she's a tourist with throwing shoes.
01:09:37That's what you do when you see somebody that's singing.
01:09:39That's a compliment, and I'll take it.
01:09:41I got one thing, though.
01:09:43Okay.
01:09:43Right before the key change.
01:09:44Okay, yeah.
01:09:45I feel like you should almost make that the big moment.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:48Where you can elongate a note.
01:09:50Okay.
01:09:51Never know.
01:09:53Right there.
01:09:54No!
01:09:56Kind of thing.
01:09:58Never know.
01:10:03Can I get a shoe?
01:10:15You think the only people who are people
01:10:20Are the people who look and think like you
01:10:26But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
01:10:33You'll learn things you never knew
01:10:37You never knew
01:10:39Have you ever heard the wolf cry
01:10:44To the blue corn moon
01:10:47Or answer grinning bobcat
01:10:51Why he grinned
01:10:52Can 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
01:11:26Then you'll never know
01:11:31Can you
01:11:35Never hear the wolf cry
01:11:38To the blue corn moon
01:11:42For all the weird white or covered 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 wind
01:12:25Of the wind
01:12:26Of the wind
01:12:35Of the wind
01:12:49¡Suscríbete al canal!
01:13:10So, real short, real sweet, Southern, Southern, we are 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?
01:13:37I was looking at Carrie like, girl, could I borrow your shoes?
01:13:42These are for you.
01:13:44Anything to add?
01:13:46He got my shoes in his hand.
01:13:49Thank you, Jennifer, thank you.
01:13:50Oh, God, magical.
01:13:51He needs your votes to make it to next week.
01:13:53You can vote up to 10 times for our finalists right now online via text or across our socials on
01:13:58Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
01:14:00Once more, Jordan.
01:14:02Thank you.
01:14:03We'll celebrate.
01:14:04You got it.
01:14:05Let's go.
01:14:08Coming 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.
01:14:29We 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.
01:14:57We've been married for six months.
01:14:59We are newlyweds.
01:15:00This has been a very incredible journey to watch you on.
01:15:04There's nothing more beautiful than you singing your heart out.
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.
01:15:11How 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.
01:15:20The beginning stages, there was so much confidence in what I did, and I feel like as soon as life
01:15:25started, sorry, I'm like getting emotional already.
01:15:28Take your time.
01:15:29It's your moment.
01:15:31Sorry.
01:15:31Why are you getting emotional?
01:15:33I can't even make it through.
01:15:34Sorry.
01:15:36I understand.
01:15:37It's an emotional journey.
01:15:39Yes.
01:15:39I went through a world.
01:15:41We 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.
01:15:49This 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.
01:16:00This 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.
01:16:16But I don't want you to lose it.
01:16:18Kendall has hearts, but 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
01:17:27You 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 you may and wish you might
01:17:54Don't you worry, hold on tight
01:17:58I promise you that there will come a day
01:18:04Butterfly, fly away
01:18:10Butterfly, butterfly
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 might
01:18:31Don't you worry, hold on tight
01:18:35Promise you that there will come a day
01:18:40Butterfly, 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
01:19:12Thank you
01:19:14Kendall, I think
01:19:15I think feeling like you felt last week
01:19:20Is very necessary
01:19:21Because when we don't have moments like that
01:19:25We can't have beautiful moments of redemption
01:19:27Like you just had
01:19:29Thank you
01:19:37That was absolutely beautiful
01:19:40Let me take it to her
01:19:44That's not the same
01:19:46Thank you
01:19:47Yeah
01:19:50Jennifer goes, it ain't the same when I take it
01:19:52Yes, I get it
01:19:55Listen, way to
01:19:56Just way to come back
01:19:58Way to get through a rough week
01:19:59And listen, now you can let the emotion out
01:20:02And get it out
01:20:03So you did it
01:20:04Great job
01:20:05Thank you
01:20:08If we had any more performances
01:20:10Luke's boots would have to be thrown up here on the stage
01:20:12I mean, I need the shoe, you know
01:20:14You do need the shoe
01:20:15Yes, well, here
01:20:16Hop away on one if you like

01:21:31Of her shocking elimination
01:21:33Just the week before
01:21:34She had the highest number of votes
01:21:36And then the very next week
01:21:38She was headed home
01:21:40Thinking back to that
01:21:41What advice do you have
01:21:42For the two leaving us tonight

01:21:51And as long as I keep singing
01:21:53I'm going to sing my way to it
01:21:54So
01:21:55You do the same
