00:34And if it expires, pray help from above
00:39Everybody make some noise for the original idol, Pili O'Reilly

05:05This week, iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Gerardo stop by to mentor the top
05:1211.
05:12They'll take the stage later with a not-to-be-missed live performance.
05:17But first, here they are, helping Chris Thompson with his choice in 2024 inductees, Foreigner.
05:25Let's go!
05:29My performance last week did not go very well.
05:32Don't be safe.
05:33I know it feels good to be safe, but don't be safe.
05:37I've never performed, like, ever in my life until the show, so I have a lot of questions.
05:41You've gotten this far. You must be doing something, right?
05:43Well, I don't know.
05:44I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner.
05:46You're as cold as ice.
05:48It's a really hard song.
05:50That's good. You're challenging yourself.
05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site.
05:55My boss, he always plays, like, rock hits.
05:58Chris is a great guy. Very cool voice.
06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
06:04Which he said.
06:05Someday you'll pay.
06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that. Make it like a...
06:12That's good.
06:12You're gonna pay.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Plus, if you save it for that other time, it's really good.
06:16From a legend to a nobody, this is, like, this is really unique.
06:21So, how are we sitting with the key? Are we sure we don't want to go down a half?
06:25We could try it.
06:27Someday you'll pay.
06:30There you go.
06:31That made all the difference at half-step.
06:33There's a lot of pressure. The live shows, there's millions of people watching.
06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
06:37Chris's last performance wasn't up to where he wanted it to be, so this one's really important.
06:41Cold as ice, he's got to bring it.
06:44Good luck, babe.
06:44You're so cool.
06:45You're so cool.
06:46You're so cool.
06:46That was great.
06:46Really great.
06:47Thank you, babe.
06:53You're as cold as ice, willing to sacrifice our love.
07:08You never take advice
07:11Someday you'll pay the price, I know
07:15I've seen it before, it happens all the time
07:19You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
07:23You're digging for gold and throwing away
07:27Or fortune and feelings, cause someday you'll pay
07:33You're as cold as ice
07:37Willing to sacrifice our love
07:40Come on!
07:43Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
07:48You want paradise
07:51Someday you'll pay the price, I know
07:56You've seen it before, it happens all the time
07:59You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
08:03You're digging for gold and throwing away
08:07Or fortune and feelings, cause someday you'll pay
08:16You're as cold as ice
08:23You're as cold as ice
08:33You're as cold as ice
08:36Willing to sacrifice
08:40You're as cold as ice
08:44Willing to sacrifice
09:01All right, Chris
09:06All right, Chris
09:07All right, Chris
09:07I'm gonna give you
09:08I'm gonna give you some
09:10I'm gonna give you big pointers here, okay?
09:12Yes, sir
09:12Once you take that mic out of that holster
09:17Never go back to that mic stand again
09:19Yes, sir
09:19What I'm saying to you, attitude now
09:21From that point on, it's all about
09:23Doing it, performing it, making it happen
09:26Your voice is there
09:26Trust yourself
09:27Take a chance
09:28Thank you
09:30Chris
09:30Chris, this was a fantastic song choice for you
09:35I love the energy you came out with
09:37I feel like this is one of my favorite performances
09:40That you have done
09:40If not the favorite performance that you have done
09:42Wow
09:43Thank you
09:43Great way to kick us off, man
09:45Thank you
09:47Yeah, I love that in the front
09:49You kind of kept it down
09:50Kind of your style
09:51And then you got back to what the song originally is
09:55And you brought the energy
09:56And you just gave us a lot
09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you
09:59Did you have something blowing on your hair?
10:03I had the Beyonce fans
10:04Yeah, something like that
10:05The J-Lo fans
10:07There you go
10:08You know, you got the hair
10:09You got the hair blowing in the wind in the mix
10:11I mean
10:11Yeah, it was fun
10:12That was fun

10:35You wanted to come back

10:38How'd that one feel differently tonight?
10:41That just felt fun
10:42I feel like I was sitting on my side of the comfort zone
10:44For a long time
10:45And you guys talking to me
10:47Like, push through, break through
10:48It's not just about being in comfort
10:50So this was out of my comfort zone

13:43Next Monday
13:44Now here's Pat and Neil
13:46Giving their expert advice
13:47On Adonis summer classes
13:48By Ray
13:49Take a look
13:54My mom is the biggest
13:56Pat Benatar
13:57And Neil Giraldo fan
13:59My mom was a singer
14:03She sang Pat Benatar
14:06Hey mom
14:07Hi mom
14:08Yeah
14:10Stop, don't cry
14:11Don't cry
14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom
14:13She's doing great
14:15Oh my gosh
14:16Really meant a lot
14:18To me and to her
14:20I love you mommy
14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
14:25I am singing MacArthur Park
14:26By Donna Summer
14:28I saw that Carrie did MacArthur Park
14:31On her season of American Idol
14:33Like this is my sign
14:35To do the song
14:37So this week
14:38I really have to bring it
14:40Last week
14:41I was actually in the bottom too
14:43And Lionel Richie saved me
14:45My answer is Ray
14:46I definitely feel the pressure
14:48And I'm so grateful
14:49To sing on the stage again
14:51So I got to do it justice
14:56One suggestion
14:57Maybe
14:58It's very powerful, right?
15:00Is there a way to do something
15:01Where you're very powerful
15:02And then do something
15:03Where it's very quiet
15:04So it gets really soulful
15:06Yeah, like at the very end
15:07So I'm like
15:10If you hold that last note
15:11A little longer
15:12To just let it fade away
15:13Maybe move the mic away
15:18You know what?
15:19No one can do
15:20What you can do
15:21So you just play with it
15:23Enjoy it
15:23And we'll get you out of that bottom
15:25Yes
15:25We have it in there
15:26You will find it
15:27And bring it today
15:28Thank you guys
15:28Yes, you're welcome
15:35Spring was never waiting
15:38For a steer
15:40It ran one step ahead
15:44As we followed in the dance
16:17The Carpenter's Park
16:26Behind the Clown Carpenter's Park
16:47All the sweet green icing glow down
16:52Someone left the cake out in the rain
16:58I don't think that I can take it
17:04Cause it took so long to make it
17:07And I'll never have that recipe again
17:28Never again
17:29Never again
17:51i love the drama it was just dramatic in all the right places and the dress and getting down
17:58um it you're you're telling a story i still don't know what that song means uh but you did a
18:05great
18:05job and and you you clocked me um from from my my performance all all them years ago so good
18:12job
18:12i feel so much better now because you performed it you don't know what it means i don't know what
18:20it means but it was great so i think a lot of uh my songs people don't know what they
18:25mean
18:26i'm still trying to figure out but the bottom line is your whole presentation this whole
18:31um this whole season has just been great vocals um we saw you almost kind of get emotional you're
18:38really pouring it all into your performances and we see that and we're glad you're here

18:50just just just for the record just for the record uh you're not supposed to know what it means
18:55it just goes yeah it's a hit record it's a hit record by the way i love the fact that
19:00we're
19:01doing these songs because these are classic hits and you are making it classic by turning these songs
19:06into your song and that's what makes it special you're not afraid you're not afraid to put your
19:13stamp on that hit record way to go ray i always wondered why the cake was in the rain why
19:24was the
19:24cake out in the rain couldn't take it too long to bake it i'll never have that recipe again
19:30carrie when you watch that performance what do you remember about that night when you performed it
