00:04:55With the Grange Georges
00:04:57Filmingly
00:05:01We are in Hawaii
00:05:02It's like something out of a movie
00:05:05Four
00:05:05I love golfing
00:05:06I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world
00:05:08But I just love going out there
00:05:10And strifling down the middle
00:05:12Back at home
00:05:13We definitely got some golf courses
00:05:14But this place is amazing
00:05:17Let's go
00:05:17So it's awesome to be here
00:05:20Hey
00:05:21Nice to meet you
00:05:22It was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad
00:05:23They were super cool
00:05:25I'm excited to hear
00:05:26What you're going to be singing
00:05:27I know you're very soulful
00:05:28So what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey
00:05:31Fabulous
00:05:32That's cool
00:05:33Just a small town girl
00:05:35My journey so far
00:05:37Each round
00:05:37I've gotten more nervous than nervous
00:05:39Because I'm chasing my dreams
00:05:40My knees are shaking dude
00:05:42How you holding up?
00:05:43A little nervous
00:05:44But I'm not too confident
00:05:45What would you say
00:05:46Is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:47Just trying to be perfect
00:05:48I'm a huge critic on myself
00:05:50So
00:05:50I can relate
00:05:51Man I'm in the top 20 of American Idol
00:05:53From LaGrange, Georgia
00:05:54Small town
00:05:55It's just amazing
00:05:56I think my family thinks the same way
00:05:59Oh damn
00:06:03I think my family thinks the same way
00:06:05So hopefully I get to go even further
00:06:08I haven't been told no yet
00:06:10But
00:06:11I can't talk right
00:06:12I can't even breathe
00:06:13The nerve stuff
00:06:14You take that energy
00:06:15And you let it be a part of the performance
00:06:17It's kind of like a trick
00:06:18That you can do with your mind
00:06:19The jitters
00:06:20When you're getting up on that stage
00:06:21I think the hardest part of the song
00:06:23Is the first part
00:06:24Yes
00:06:25Like the second part's
00:06:26Give it all you got
00:06:27You know
00:06:27And you do that
00:06:28Let me hear that first verse again
00:06:30Living in a lonely world
00:06:33That's the note
00:06:34Lonely
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes
00:06:36Are just the ones
00:06:37To not get tripped up on
00:06:39Yes
00:06:39Because then everybody breathes easy
00:06:41I think if Philman hits those notes
00:06:43In the beginning
00:06:44He's got a real chance of going on
00:06:46It's just a big stage
00:06:48I just want to make sure
00:06:49My family's proud
00:06:51It would just mean the world
00:06:52To keep going
00:06:53I want to keep singing
00:06:54For everybody
00:07:08Come on sing it now
00:07:10She took the midnight train
00:07:12Going anywhere
00:07:18Just a city boy
00:07:21Want to raise us out to try
00:07:27He took the midnight train
00:07:30Going anywhere
00:07:32I see the wind in a smoking room
00:07:39I smell a wild chip fuel
00:07:42Come on now
00:07:43For a smile that can share
00:07:45The night
00:07:46Goes on and on and on and on
00:07:50Stranger waiting
00:07:56Up and down the boulevard
00:08:00Shadows searching in the night
00:08:07Streetlights people
00:08:10Living just to find the emotion
00:08:15Hiding somewhere in the night
00:08:23Go inside and even

00:08:30Streetlights people
00:08:39Don't stop leaving
00:08:44Hold on to that feeling

00:11:34Do not move, we'll be right back.
00:11:37You nailed it!
00:11:38That was so good!
00:11:40How did you start?
00:11:49Welcome back to the show.
00:11:51The journey for our finalists to this incredible stage has been an emotional one,
00:11:55especially for a Maryland native Rae.
00:11:57Here's her time with Brad Pacey.
00:11:59We'll keep on.
00:12:04Hi!
00:12:04Hi, Marie!
00:12:05Hi, Marie!
00:12:07Kiki is my girl.
00:12:09I love her.
00:12:10Nice to meet you.
00:12:11I love you so much.
00:12:12Kiki is just unapologetically herself, and I just want to be just like that.
00:12:17I'm singing Respect by Aretha Franklin.
00:12:19R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:20So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:23I grew up on Aretha.
00:12:24My mom just always played Aretha everywhere, and she just told me, like, you're going to command the stage like
00:12:30her.
00:12:30You're going to command the stage.
00:12:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:34Find out what it means to me.
00:12:36So let's talk about what you're going to do on stage.
00:12:38I don't have any choreography, and I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it, but, like, I don't know.
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional, and I'm crying.
00:12:48So now I'm having fun, and I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:54It's just markers.
00:12:55Like, by this point of the song, I'm going to go to the right.
00:12:58By this point of the song, I'm going to go to the left.
00:13:00All it would take is one of those notes this way or this way, and I think that audience would
00:13:06go crazy.
00:13:07Yeah!
00:13:11Yeah, I did it!
00:13:12Yeah!
00:13:12Yes, yes!
00:13:14It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:17Yeah, it's just the dynamics are so right.
00:13:19I love that you gave us an array of what your vocals could do in this song.
00:13:23Kiki loved my dynamics?
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:26Like, life made.
00:13:28I'm, like, already...
00:13:29I've been, like, crying.
00:13:31Being able to sing this in front of you is, like...
00:13:34Oh, my gosh!
00:13:34Like, I feel like I manifested this moment.
00:13:37Oh, my gosh!
00:13:40I'm so glad that I think they're so beautiful.
00:13:43I'm just so glad we get to have this moment.
00:13:45The song means so much to me.
00:13:48Why I'm singing it means so much to me.
00:13:50And I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:13:55What you want, baby, I got it.
00:14:02What you need, yeah, do you know I got it?
00:14:09Oh, all I'm asking is for...
00:14:18Oh, a little respect.
00:14:22I said, a little respect.
00:14:28I ain't gonna do you wrong.
00:14:33I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't want to.
00:14:37Oh, all I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home.
00:14:43Hey, baby, when you get home, listen up.
00:14:50R-E-S-B-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.
00:14:54I-E-S-B-E-C-T, take care, T-C-T.
00:14:58Oh, a little respect, I'm so excited.
00:15:02Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
00:15:06Ooh, your kisses are sweeter than honey.
00:15:11And guess what?
00:15:12This is always my money.
00:15:15And all I want you to do for me is to give it to me when I get it.
00:15:22Oh, baby.
00:15:26Just a baby.
00:15:28Ooh.
00:15:29Find out what it means to me.
00:15:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T, take care, T-C-T.
00:15:39Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
00:15:48-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

00:15:52-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
00:15:54-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
00:15:56-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
00:16:05Oh yeah, she is.
00:16:07Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm
00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire.
00:16:13Girl, I'm not playing.
00:16:15You were singing down.
00:16:16I even heard a little talking, personality throughout
00:16:18when you hit that move at the end.
00:16:20I mean, it was just, the performance was fabulous
00:16:22from top to bottom.
00:16:23You gave us stage presents.
00:16:25You gave us the outfit.
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J. Blige.
00:16:27Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:16:30I just live, mama.
00:16:33So we've known you for a bit
00:16:35and we've been in these like much more subdued situations.
00:16:39I feel like this was the missing ingredient.
00:16:42We always knew you could sing,
00:16:44but you can entertain.
00:16:46Like, you were having fun with it.
00:16:49There, there.
00:16:50You completely made it your own.
00:16:52You weren't trying to copy anybody.
00:16:54You did you.
00:16:55You rearranged the song.
00:16:57They had fun.
00:16:58You had fun.
00:16:58We had fun.
00:16:59That was amazing.
00:17:01Thank you so much.
00:17:02You're okay.
00:17:03That was good.
00:17:05Whoa, that was Aretha Ray, y'all.
00:17:07I mean, I'm just out of...
00:17:08I don't know what vitamin pill you took,
00:17:12but this is when you have to surprise us.
00:17:15You pulled it out and gave it to us.
00:17:16That was amazing.
00:17:17I love it.
00:17:18Thank you so much.
00:17:20You got my respect.
00:17:24And you're one of our best singers,
00:17:26if not the best singer,
00:17:28and a way to come out and work the crowd.
00:17:32That didn't get lost on you.
00:17:35Well, look at me dropping nuggets of wisdom, I think.
00:17:40Anyway, I just loved the whole performance.
00:17:42It was comfortable.
00:17:43You were entertaining.

00:18:39We hope you're enjoying the newest way to show your love for the hopefuls this season.
00:18:42I'm talking about the social voting.

00:18:53You can comment with one name at a time,
00:18:55and up to 10 times per finalist on each one of those platforms.
00:18:57Now, let's check out Lucas Leon's mentor moment with Brad and Kiki.
00:19:04I'm very excited to be able to share this experience with my parents.
00:19:07Vacation to Hawaii and come around every so often
00:19:10for them to be able to see all my hard work kind of pay off.
00:19:13It feels great.
00:19:14I'm from Galatine, Tennessee, and hometown support has been awesome.
00:19:19You perform all around town.
00:19:20How does that happen with you being in high school?
00:19:22Oh, it's just fun.
00:19:24Teachers and students and my buddies,
00:19:26and they all come out to shows and all of that.
00:19:28Oh, my gosh!
00:19:29And I do play one of your songs at almost every gig.
00:19:32Oh, really?
00:19:33I'm a massive Brad Paisley fan.
00:19:39I play the Farmer's Market a lot in Nashville.
00:19:41Yeah, yeah.
00:19:41It gets the tips.
00:19:43I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing,
00:19:46his singing, his songwriting, his stage presence, everything about him.
00:19:49I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months.
00:19:52Maybe you can come to that, and then we can walk around backstage.
00:19:55That would be awesome.
00:19:56Thank you so much.
00:19:56So what song are you doing today?
00:19:58I'm going to be doing Just to See You Smile.
00:19:59It's one of my favorite songs ever written.
00:20:02Just to see you smile, I'd do anything.
00:20:08You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song,
00:20:10and then acknowledge there's an audience.
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me,
00:20:15but I was loving the eye.
00:20:17So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing.
00:20:21It doesn't sound like Tim, and it shouldn't.
00:20:23It sounds like you, and that's hard to do.
00:20:26Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this, isn't it?
00:20:29It really is.
00:20:30You know, they say I don't meet your heroes,
00:20:31but I'm really glad I met Brad,
00:20:33so I'm hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage.
00:20:37Thank you.
00:20:46And I was far from being made of gold.
00:20:51I don't know how, but I've scrimped up the money.
00:20:56I just never could quite tell you no.
00:21:01Just like when you were leaving Emory, Lord.
00:21:07Taking that new job in Tennessee
00:21:12And I quit mine so we could be together
00:21:16And I can't forget the way you looked at me
00:21:22But just to see you smile
00:21:25I'd do anything
00:21:29That you wanted me to
00:21:32And all this said and done
00:21:35I'd never count a call
00:21:38It's one thought that's lost
00:21:43Just to see you smile
00:21:47Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted
00:21:52When you came walking up to me with him
00:21:57And I told you that I was happy for you
00:22:01And given the chance I'd like it
00:22:06I trust to see you smile
00:22:11I'd do anything
00:22:13That you wanted me to
00:22:17And all this said and done
00:22:21I'd never count the cost
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost
00:22:28Just to see you smile
00:22:31Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:22:36Just to see you smile
00:22:40Yeah!
00:22:44Yeah!
00:22:49Lovely!
00:22:50It was lovely!
00:22:52It was lovely!
00:22:53You know, you made that so comfortable
00:22:56I almost forgot that you were a contestant
00:22:59That's what you want
00:23:00You want comfort
00:23:01You want people to understand
00:23:03That this is what you do naturally
00:23:06And what you just performed there
00:23:07Was about as natural as you were ever going to get
00:23:09It was fantastic
00:23:10Thank you
00:23:11Thank you
00:23:13I agree with everything that Lionel said
00:23:15Because you literally transported us into your world
00:23:17I felt like I was at a beach club
00:23:19I was at a festival
00:23:20You know, I haven't been in love in ages
00:23:22I'm single as a Pringle
00:23:24And I felt romantic
00:23:26Because you set the tone
00:23:27You were making me smile
00:23:29I mean, I just loved it
00:23:30You are very much you
00:23:31And you did a fabulous job
00:23:32Thank you so much
00:23:34Single as a Pringle
00:23:36Your voice is so
00:23:38It is powerful
00:23:39It is beautiful
00:23:40And there is something really special
00:23:42About the simplicity
00:23:43You don't try to over sing
00:23:45There you go
00:23:46You're like laid back in the pocket
00:23:47There you go
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you
00:23:50And to watch you
00:23:51Thank you so much
00:23:52I loved it
00:23:54Luke Ryan
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering
00:23:58Keep making us feel comfortable
00:24:00But also keep adding the pressure
00:24:03And intensity
00:24:03There you go
00:24:04And songs that really pull you
00:24:06Outside of your comfort zone
00:24:07But you just keep knocking
00:24:08Every performance out of the park
00:24:10Thank you so much
00:24:11Thank you
00:24:13Luke predicted you would make
00:24:14Your hometown's Wikipedia page
00:24:16At some point, right?
00:24:19Maybe old Lucas Leon
00:24:21Maybe
00:24:22He's got a spot here

00:24:56Here's how he impressed
00:24:57Right?
00:25:01How do you like it Hawaii?
00:25:03Girl, I'm trying to figure out
00:25:03How I can stay a little long
00:25:04Yes
00:25:05Cause my goodness
00:25:06The sun is nice
00:25:07The water is nice
00:25:08Goofy
00:25:09I got to meet Goofy
00:25:11I honestly felt like a little kid
00:25:12When I saw him
00:25:13Oh my god
00:25:14How did it go
00:25:15In your last performance
00:25:16I came in a little unsure
00:25:18Jordan
00:25:19But it landed me
00:25:20The platinum ticket
00:25:21The hopefuls voted for me
00:25:22And it was amazing
00:25:23I felt so honored
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on
00:25:26Because I feel like
00:25:27A lot of people are looking at me
00:25:28To see, okay
00:25:29How can he follow up?
00:25:30So what are you singing today?
00:25:31Today I'm singing
00:25:32Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:33By U2
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre
00:25:36I picked this song
00:25:37Because it talks about
00:25:38I still haven't found
00:25:39What I'm looking for
00:25:40But honestly
00:25:41As I'm continuing my journey
00:25:43In American Idol
00:25:43I kind of finally found
00:25:45What I'm looking for
00:25:46I'm finding my passion
00:25:47I have run
00:25:50Through the field
00:25:52I'm kind of known right now
00:25:53For the showstopper experience
00:25:55And I want to just show the judges
00:25:56That I can actually just stand here
00:25:58And sing too
00:25:58Just me
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection
00:26:02Will be noticed and acknowledged
00:26:04So for him to start that way
00:26:05That's a crazy choice
00:26:06You know what I'm saying?
00:26:07That's like
00:26:08Definitely bold
00:26:09And it could be risky
00:26:10He's taking a risk
00:26:11But I think it'll pay off
00:26:12You gotta swing for that fence
00:26:14I mean for me
00:26:15It really says
00:26:16I'm out here without a net
00:26:18That's the energy
00:26:19That I'm looking for
00:26:20Okay
00:26:20I can't wait to see how this goes
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort
00:26:23For sure
00:26:24But my approach
00:26:25Will be a little bit different
00:26:27Than what America has seen
00:26:28And I hope that they will enjoy
00:26:29And love it too
00:26:36I have climbed
00:26:42The highest mountain
00:26:47I have run
00:26:53Through the fields
00:26:55Only to be with you
00:27:02Only to be with you
00:27:08I have run
00:27:11I have crawled
00:27:15I have scaled
00:27:17I have scaled
00:27:20These city walls
00:27:21These city walls
00:27:24These city walls
00:27:28Only to be with you
00:27:33But I still
00:27:37Have it found
00:27:43Oh
00:27:44What I'm looking for
00:27:53I believe
00:27:56In the kingdom come
00:27:58With all the colors
00:28:00Bleed into one
00:28:03Bleed into one
00:28:06But he acts
00:28:09I'm still running
00:28:10Yeah
00:28:12You broke the bar
00:28:15You lose the chains
00:28:17You carry the cross
00:28:20Oh my shame
00:28:22Oh
00:28:23Oh my shame
00:28:25You know I believe that
00:28:29Yeah
00:28:31But I still
00:28:34Haven't found
00:28:36What I'm looking for
00:28:41But I still
00:28:44Haven't found
00:28:46What I'm looking for
00:28:52But I still
00:28:55Haven't found

00:34:04I'm singing Mama Knows Best by Jessie J.
00:34:06Okay.
00:34:07I'm dedicating this song to my mother.
00:34:09My mom has always been there for me.
00:34:11She's the reason I started performing.
00:34:13She's a rapper.
00:34:17She's a teacher and getting her bachelor's degree,
00:34:20all while being a mother, a single mother.
00:34:22It's insane to me.
00:34:23I want her to just feel like everything she's put into me
00:34:26is finally pouring out.
00:34:28I love you and you got this.
00:34:32I'm so excited that I'm going to get to see you do your thing.
00:34:35Mama knows best when times get hard.
00:34:39You and I were talented at 16,
00:34:41but I was failing my third driver's test by now.
00:34:45Her focus is really there.
00:34:48See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:34:50See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:34:53On those Mama Knows Best and we hear that boom, boom,
00:34:55I want to see a step forward, you know,
00:34:57really leaning into the audience on those moments
00:34:59because it's kind of like a direct kind of...
00:35:01You come frontin' them.
00:35:01Yes!
00:35:02See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:35:05See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:35:07So you're dedicating this to your mom.
00:35:09Is she here?
00:35:09Yes, she is here.
00:35:11Really?
00:35:11Oh, I think I see her!
00:35:13Oh, she's here!
00:35:13Oh, my gosh!
00:35:15Oh, my gosh!
00:35:16Oh, you look beautiful!
00:35:17This woman was wonderful, for sure.
00:35:19Mama's so sweet.
00:35:20Now, are you the singer or the rapper?
00:35:21I'll rap.
00:35:23Mama's singing.
00:35:23Wait!
00:35:24Hey!
00:35:26Hey!
00:35:27The fact that she's dedicating the song
00:35:29to her mom, I love the lineage, respect.
00:35:31I want her to be herself.
00:35:32I just felt like that's all you can bring is yourself.
00:35:35And I felt like God ordained this.
00:35:36This is already predestined.
00:35:37So regardless of whatever happens,
00:35:39I feel like she's a winner.
00:35:41Mama Knows Best.
00:35:43Yes!
00:35:43Wow!
00:35:55When there is something going down, like a storm in the sky, I ain't gonna be played by your behavior,
00:36:10how can I trust someone who's lying to me?
00:36:13And so while I go, and I said, while I leave, I said, take your back and go, cause you're
00:36:22not for me, no.
00:36:25Mama Knows Best when I get a heart, and Papa always has a toll to make me laugh.
00:36:34Mama Knows Best when I feel down to bring me up and always keep my dream on.
00:36:42Like her?
00:36:44Like her?
00:36:44Like her?
00:36:44Like her?
00:36:44Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:46I speak the best that my daddy said to me, always use humor as your therapy.
00:36:55Wow.
00:36:56Don't ever taste too seriously, just do you.
00:37:22¡Gracias por ver el video!
00:37:53¡Gracias por ver el video!
00:38:00I spent a couple seconds with your mom and grandma.
00:38:03Could you hear them screaming while you were singing?
00:38:05Kind of.
00:38:07I love you guys.
00:38:10I think they love you too.
00:38:12Lana Richie, somebody get some help over to mom over here in the corner, right?
00:38:18So, so, so listen, this 16-year-old is driving a steamroll, all right?
00:38:24That was absolutely in charge, in power.
00:38:30You were rolling down the road just killing it.
00:38:34You killed it.
00:38:35Thank you.
00:38:35You just killed it.
00:38:36Thank you so much.
00:38:37Killed it.
00:38:38You are like a Disney star in the making.
00:38:41I feel like you're so relatable.
00:38:43Absolutely.
00:38:44Like, you're living your best life on the stage.
00:38:46And you are doing so with, like, such a vocal maturity, but also just the way you're handling
00:38:52yourself.
00:38:53Yep.
00:38:53I feel like we're just going to watch you blossom in front of us throughout this competition.
00:38:57And I'm excited to see where that takes us because she's so thinking good.
00:39:01So good.
00:39:02It is not easy to command a stage in a competition like this, especially as a youngin'.
00:39:08But you did just that.

00:39:15that stage.

00:39:27Yes, she do.
00:39:29So many star qualities.
00:39:31You don't operate like you're a 16-year-old.
00:39:34And don't start anytime soon.
00:39:35Just be confident in what you are because you have every right to be.
00:39:41I mean, that was a great performance from top to bottom.
00:39:43The little scatting thing.
00:39:44No, what was that?
00:39:46What was that?

00:44:54Thank you
00:44:54Thank you
00:44:55But the fact that you called me an icon
00:44:57With Mickey next to me
00:44:58That was very, very generous
00:44:59Kiki Palmer
00:45:00One more time, everybody
00:45:01Thank you
00:45:02That was amazing
00:45:04Coming up

00:45:07And hoping to prove just that
00:45:09Is Madison Moon
00:45:11She takes the idol stage

00:45:16Let's go, Mickey
00:45:29Looking good
00:45:30Back with you on American Idol
00:45:32We always love the backdrop here
00:45:34At Disney's Aulani Resort
00:45:35What better place to chase the idol dream
00:45:37Hoping to shine tonight
00:45:39It's Madison Moon
00:45:45Guys, look at it
00:45:47Oh my goodness
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere
00:45:50My family finds a sunset
00:45:52Being able to do that in Hawaii
00:45:53Means everything
00:45:54Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57Literally doesn't even do it real
00:45:59My dad got to join me
00:46:01In meeting Kiki Palmer
00:46:02And Brad Paisley
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice
00:46:04From my daddy
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist
00:46:07And he pours his heart and soul into it
00:46:09He had a high school band
00:46:11He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera
00:46:13Which was dope
00:46:14Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:17I'll do it for her
00:46:18He wanted to pursue it further
00:46:20But he decided to give that up
00:46:22To raise a family
00:46:24Don't stop believing
00:46:27The world kind of missed out
00:46:29On him as a musician
00:46:32Streetlights
00:46:34People
00:46:43It's a moment I'll never forget
00:46:45What are you doing for us today?
00:46:47Since you've been gone, Kelly Clarkson
00:46:48Okay
00:46:49It's very bold
00:46:50Especially doing a song by a former idol
00:46:53Since you've been gone
00:46:56I can't breathe for the first time
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks in this competition
00:47:02I haven't played it safe
00:47:03And I'm not going to
00:47:04It's pretty crazy what's in the tank
00:47:07You were feeling it and being fun
00:47:09And not taking it too seriously
00:47:10But also giving in when it was time
00:47:12And again and again
00:47:16There was a moment with the note
00:47:18Where I was like
00:47:18Uh-oh
00:47:19How are you feeling about the big note?
00:47:21I wasn't really
00:47:21Yeah
00:47:22You know
00:47:22Doing all the warm-ups and stuff today
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24One thing that always helped me
00:47:26Be to lean in
00:47:27If I go left
00:47:28Let me go all the way left
00:47:30You know
00:47:30It's never any mistakes
00:47:31Because we don't really know
00:47:32What you was trying to do
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure
00:47:35If I don't hit this note
00:47:37I'm going home
00:47:46Here's the thing
00:47:47We started out friends
00:47:49It was cool
00:47:51But it was all pretend
00:47:53Yeah, yeah
00:47:55Seems to be gone
00:47:59And all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:03Is how I picture me with you
00:48:05That's all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:09Said you'd be gone
00:48:13I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:17I'm so moving on
00:48:19Yeah, yeah
00:48:21Thanks to you
00:48:23Now I get what I want
00:48:28Said you'd be gone
00:48:30You were your chance
00:48:31You knew it
00:48:33Out of sight
00:48:35Out of mind
00:48:37Such a miracle
00:48:38Just can't take it
00:48:41Again and again
00:48:42And again
00:48:43And again
00:48:50Since you've been gone
00:48:53I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:57So moving on
00:48:59Yeah, yeah
00:49:01Thanks to you

00:49:21You should know
00:49:22I get what I want
00:49:22I get what I want
00:49:26Since you've been gone
00:49:30Since you've been gone
00:49:33Since you've been gone
00:49:35Since you've been gone
00:49:36Wow
00:49:40Thank you, y'all
00:49:43¡Vamos a ver!
00:49:43¡Taking on one of Idle's biggest voices,
00:49:46Amazing to watch you and the US cut to your father who was singing every lyric as well down there.
00:49:53Brilliant. He was like...
00:49:55¡I love you daddy!
00:49:57What is that face she did?
00:50:00There it is!
00:50:03So earlier today I was like over in my room and I could hear this song kind of being played.
00:50:09I couldn't see anything, so I didn't really know,
00:50:11but I was like, I bet that's Madison.
00:50:14Like, that has to.
00:50:15She's the only one that I feel like could go for this
00:50:18and pull it off, and you did.
00:50:19I love your voice so much.
00:50:21I love that you're just you.
00:50:23You've got incredible pipes.
00:50:25That's a Tall Order song.
00:50:27Like, nobody wants to sing this song
00:50:29because it's really hard, and you tackled it, girl.
00:50:35You just honestly blew my wig off my head, man.
00:50:40There's no doubt about it.
00:50:41When I tell you power, you have it in spades.
00:50:46I kept thinking at some point,
00:50:47okay, she's going to take a breath.
00:50:48She's going to come back down.
00:50:50Give her a moment.
00:50:51Girl, you stayed FM all the way through then.
00:50:55It was amazing.
00:50:56Amazing.
00:50:58Keep that mentality.
00:50:59Keep that rocker energy, pushing yourself,
00:51:04surprising us with what you can do.
00:51:06You went after that, and you nailed it,
00:51:08and like I said, you're the one that can do it.
00:51:11Be that person.
00:51:12Be that finalist.
00:51:14Thank you.
00:51:15You have such an incredible voice.
00:51:17You're so powerful, and I was nervous for a second.
00:51:19I'm like, is she going to hit that Kelly note
00:51:21that we know why don't nobody want to sing this song?
00:51:23And you did it.
00:51:25I've been a fan of American Idol since the beginning,
00:51:27and this season has some of the best singers
00:51:29I've seen in a really long time,
00:51:31and you're one of them.
00:51:32Thank you.
00:51:35I think we're excited to see what you do next
00:51:37after all of that.
00:51:39What's that?
00:51:40What's going on with that tear there?
00:51:41What are you feeling?
00:51:42I'm just so happy.
00:51:43This is everything I want to do,
00:51:44and to see my family watching me
00:51:46and literally sobbing with me, it's insane.
00:51:48And I just respect all of you guys in this crowd.

00:52:50Next to take the stage is Minnesota's Chris Tungsen.
00:52:57This morning, I woke up early and went to the spa.
00:53:01This is the first time ever being pampered.
00:53:03This is the best.
00:53:05I've been enjoying the princess treatment,
00:53:06but I don't think it's going to last very long.
00:53:08When I'm not here with American Idol,
00:53:10I'm working and I'm trying to pay bills.
00:53:13I don't really have a whole lot of downtime,
00:53:15so being in a spa for the first time was so nice.
00:53:19This round, I'll be singing Apologize by One Republic.
00:53:21Classic.
00:53:22Yeah, classic.
00:53:23When I was about 12, 13,
00:53:25I would hop on my bike with my papers
00:53:27and do my paper out,
00:53:28and I'd listen to the song over and over and over again.
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope,
00:53:33got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:53:36This is one of the more intimate things somebody's done.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:39I want to make this one a little bit more fun,
00:53:41a song that people know,
00:53:42a song that people want to sing along to,
00:53:44but also with intimacy.
00:53:46But fun is different for everybody, right?
00:53:47So we don't have to be everybody's version of fun.
00:53:50Exactly.
00:53:50But I think letting that hair down,
00:53:52I don't know what you're wearing,
00:53:53but a little unbuttoned,
00:53:54you know what I mean?
00:53:55Very handsome.
00:53:56So leaning into that appeal,
00:53:57I think with this song,
00:53:59will bring the funness that you're also looking to.
00:54:01Yeah, absolutely.
00:54:04Yes.
00:54:05There you go.
00:54:06I said it's too late to apologize.
00:54:11It's too late.
00:54:14He wants to make it fun.
00:54:15Well, in my mind,
00:54:16I want to see you lean into your image.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20I'm telling you,
00:54:21working everything you've got.
00:54:22I wish I could do that.
00:54:24I can't do that.
00:54:25I might have to take Kiki's advice
00:54:26and let my hair down
00:54:28and drop a button or two.
00:54:29That's it.
00:54:30That was giving.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:42I'm holding on your robe,
00:54:44got me 10 feet off the ground.
00:54:49And I'm hearing what you say,
00:54:52but I just can't make a sound.
00:54:57You tell me that you need me,
00:55:00then you go and cut me down.
00:55:03But wait,
00:55:06tell me that you saw me,
00:55:08didn't think I'd turn around
00:55:10and say
00:55:12that it's too late to apologize.
00:55:17It's too late.
00:55:21I said it's too late to apologize.
00:55:25It's too late.
00:55:33Come on, sing that song, boy.
00:55:37I'll take another chance,
00:55:39take a fall,
00:55:40take a shot for you.
00:55:45And I need you like a heart needs to be,
00:55:48but it's nothing new.
00:55:53I loved you with the fire.
00:55:56Now it's burning blue.
00:56:01Sorry like an angel.
00:56:03Heaven let me think it was you.
00:56:15I said it's too late to apologize.
00:56:31I said it's too late to apologize.
00:56:36It's too late to apologize.
00:57:05In every note,
00:57:06I'm thinking about it.
00:57:07I got to make it perfect.
00:57:08Second verse,
00:57:11you joined us.
00:57:12I mean,
00:57:13from that point on,
00:57:14you just kind of let go
00:57:15and delivered the goods.
00:57:17Enjoy that stage.
00:57:19You've got the gifts.
00:57:20Thank you, Lonely.
00:57:22Good, Keith.
00:57:24Chris,
00:57:25you have a great voice,
00:57:26but you also have a great vibe.
00:57:27And the way that you transformed the song,
00:57:30it was like,
00:57:30okay,
00:57:30I'm getting the Chris version of this song.
00:57:32And I think for me,
00:57:33I want to hear more of you
00:57:34to really get into that vibe
00:57:36of what makes Chris, Chris.
00:57:37And so to Lionel's point,
00:57:38I want to see you get more comfortable.
00:57:40I want to see you get relaxed.
00:57:41I want to come into your world
00:57:42because I know that there's a lot there.
00:57:44Thank you, Keith.
00:57:45Yeah, great job.
00:57:46Alexander Wood?
00:57:48I love your voice.
00:57:49So much.
00:57:50Like, you just have this gorgeous,
00:57:53like, laid-back vibrato.
00:57:55It doesn't sound like anybody else.
00:57:57One little thing,
00:57:59and I don't mean this weird,
00:58:00but you've got this mysterious, sexy vibe going.
00:58:05And I feel like you need to know that.
00:58:08I like what you look sad.
00:58:10I thought I was the only one
00:58:11with the mysterious, sexy vibe going.
00:58:13Oh, no, no.
00:58:15Come on, Luke.
00:58:16I mean this as a compliment.
00:58:18Yes, for sure.
00:58:18You're kind of, like, superpowers.
00:58:21And if you own that,
00:58:22I feel like they will just eat it up.
00:58:24I agree.
00:58:25Sorry if that was weird.
00:58:27You're doing good.
00:58:28I'm sorry.
00:58:28I love my husband.
00:58:29Yes.
00:58:31I'm just saying.
00:58:33Man, I want to hear that power you got.
00:58:35I want you to partner that voice
00:58:38with that sexy stuff that Carrie's bringing up.
00:58:41Which, I mean, hey, you know, I see it, dog.
00:58:44I see it.
00:58:47I know what she's talking about.
00:58:49Am I rambling, Ryan?

01:00:02I mean, this guy's a legend.
01:00:04Legend, right?
01:00:05Love you so much.
01:00:06Appreciate you.
01:00:07Peace.
01:00:08Mahalo.
01:00:09Awesome.
01:00:10Thanks, bro.
01:00:11Hit you later.
01:00:11Miss you.
01:00:12Bye-bye.
01:00:12That's freaking crazy.
01:00:15Word.
01:00:23Welcome back to American Idol from Alani at Disney Resort and Spa.
01:00:26I'm Koelina, Hawaii.
01:00:28Ten of our insanely talented finalists are lighting up the stage for your votes tonight.
01:00:32And earlier this week, they also had the pleasure of kicking back to enjoy some of their own Alani time.
01:00:38Right?
01:00:38Watch this.
01:00:40I always dreamed that my voice would bring me to places like this, and it happened.
01:00:49Being here in Hawaii has been so different from being back home.
01:00:52Just to see this part of the world, it is different.
01:00:55Don't matter how your heart is creeping, if you keep on believing.
01:01:00This is an all-in-one to be my first all-in-one ever.
01:01:06We're best buds now.
01:01:07It's just been so fun.
01:01:08The memories that we're making is just all unforgettable.
01:01:11This is really a dream come true.
01:01:18Look at that, you just saw Ruby Rake cruising on the catamaran.
01:01:21Here she is now, coming face-to-face with Brad Paisley and Kiki.
01:01:27Watch.
01:01:31Being here has been great.
01:01:32I mean, I think I've definitely had some time to relax and soak up the sun.
01:01:36I've gotten to do some really cool things around the resort with my family.
01:01:39The Mickey waffles are like my favorite things ever.
01:01:42Cheers.
01:01:44There's characters everywhere.
01:01:46We saw Goofy and then Chip and Dale.
01:01:48It feels absolutely insane to make Top 20.
01:01:50I'm just, like, really excited and proud to be here.
01:01:53Hey.
01:01:53Hi there.
01:01:54What's up, Ruby Rake?
01:01:55For the beach round, I'm going to be singing Drag Me Down by One Direction.
01:01:58Why this song?
01:01:59I chose this song as kind of a thank you to my three older brothers
01:02:02because they were my biggest supporters
01:02:05when I was dealing with some mean girls back in middle school.
01:02:09I decided when I was 11 that it would be a fun idea to shave my head.
01:02:13So I had a buzz cut.
01:02:15I have some photos.
01:02:16Please show us.
01:02:17That's...
01:02:18Wow.
01:02:18I ended up, like, losing a lot of my friends because of it.
01:02:21Because of that?
01:02:22Yes.
01:02:22So my brothers, they had my back.
01:02:24And so this is like a thank you.
01:02:25Nobody can drag me down with their love and support.
01:02:28Oh, I love that.
01:02:29All my life, you stood by me.
01:02:33It's an amazing thing that one of the most formative events of her life
01:02:36was a bullying for a really trivial thing.
01:02:40I think that's actually going to serve her.
01:02:42Use that experience to really grab this audience.
01:02:45It's certainly a song that embodies the hope and the struggle,
01:02:49and that's great.
01:02:50Thank you.
01:02:51Use that.
01:02:51This song does come from kind of a sad place,
01:02:54but I want to just stand strong and still, like,
01:02:56give a fun performance to watch.
01:03:06I've got five for a heart.
01:03:09I'm not scared of the dark.
01:03:10You never seen it look so easy.
01:03:13I got a river for souls.
01:03:16And baby, you're a boat.
01:03:17Baby, you're my only reason.
01:03:20And if I didn't have you, there would be nothing left.
01:03:24The shell of a man could never be his best.
01:03:27If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun.
01:03:30You taught me how to be someone.
01:03:33Hey, all my life, you stood by me
01:03:37when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:41All these lights, they can't light me.
01:03:45With your love, nobody can drag me.
01:03:48All my life, you stood by me when no one else was ever behind me.
01:03:55All these lights, they can't light me.
01:04:26With your love, nobody can drag me.
01:04:28Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:35Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:40Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:50Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:51Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:53Nobody can drag me down.
01:04:57Nobody can drag me down.
01:05:10¡Suscríbete al canal!
01:05:28You know, you've got to have a little sass in there.
01:05:30So I just want to challenge you to find that side of yourself and show it, bring it.
01:05:34All right.
01:05:35Let's go.
01:05:35So I thought for a moment when she started, I said she's going to run out of air because she's
01:05:41moving.
01:05:41I can hear her breathing.
01:05:43And then she hit that note and held it all evening.
01:05:46I know you were thinking, you were overthinking, don't do it.
01:05:49You've got the goods.
01:05:50That was amazing that you kind of pulled that one out.
01:05:53I'm telling you.
01:05:53Yeah, thank you.
01:05:54It's 16, right?
01:05:55Yeah.
01:05:56That's disgusting.
01:05:58That's just disgusting.
01:05:59Yeah.
01:06:00First of all, it's incredible that you have a voice on you like that.
01:06:02The only thing that I would have wanted was to know that you were able to take your time with
01:06:06it
01:06:06and, you know, let the band catch up to you instead of you being a little bit in front of
01:06:10them.
01:06:10But these are small things that will go towards you in this competition just to make your performance better.
01:06:16And incredible job.
01:06:17Thank you so much.
01:06:17Yeah.
01:06:19Yeah.
01:06:20Yeah.
01:06:20Yeah.
01:06:21Yeah, it's hard to get out of, like, a 16-year-old mentality, but you do have a great voice.
01:06:26It was really like a 16-year-old performance for the first time that we've seen out of you, which
01:06:31is, what is it, Lionel?
01:06:33It's disgusting.
01:06:34It's just disgusting.
01:06:35But you need to work on this.
01:06:37Like, you know, get in that mentality of, like, I'm going to get out here and, like, almost create a
01:06:42little alter ego where you got a little more angst in there.
01:06:45But I love your voice, and we know you've got all the goods in there.
01:06:49So thank you.
01:06:50Thank you so much.
01:06:51It's all good feedback, and every time you're up on the stage, you get better and better at all of
01:06:55that.
01:06:55Lots of things about some good stuff there.

01:07:09Thank you, guys.
01:07:09You're amazing.
01:07:10Thank you.
01:07:13Now, we have got more show-stopping beachside performances heading your way, like, Julian Kal-El.
01:07:20With some Zac Bryan, Idol's back right after this.
01:07:33Welcome back to American Idol.
01:07:35Keep those votes coming in for all your favorites online, via text, and on social media.
01:07:40Their lives in the competition depend on it.
01:07:42And Julian Kal-El wants to stick around for a while.
01:07:45Here's his mentor meet-up with Brad and Kiki.
01:07:49I was here two summers ago.
01:07:51My family and I were big Hawaii fans.
01:07:54We're also big Disney fans.
01:07:55And my favorite character is Stitch.
01:07:57Stitch!
01:07:59What's going on, buddy?
01:08:00I just think he's a little troublemaker.
01:08:02I love his voice.
01:08:03Ohana means family.
01:08:05Family means nobody gets left behind.
01:08:08So to be back here at Disney's Aulani Resort feels like a blessing.
01:08:11There is just no such thing as a bad day in Hawaii.
01:08:14Thank you.
01:08:15Thank you.
01:08:17Hi, how are you, Julian?
01:08:19For this round, I'm choosing a song called Tourniquet by Zac Bryan.
01:08:22There's a ways on the plains at a Eastern Montana where you told me you were leaving.
01:08:27It means a lot to me.
01:08:28So why is that?
01:08:29Tourniquet to me means picking someone else up when they're hurting and always telling someone,
01:08:34I have your back.
01:08:35Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want a tourniquet, know that I'll be by your side.
01:08:41What always heals my heart is thinking about the people that I have in my life.
01:08:45And what motivates me even more is hoping that whoever's listening gets that feeling that I understand, I see you.
01:08:52It felt very authentic.
01:08:53And so I think you're getting a real sense of who he is as an artist.
01:08:57You know, that's magic being this close.
01:09:00Great voice.
01:09:00Thank you so much.
01:09:02Captivating, your prowess on the guitar shows, your voice is perfect.
01:09:07Thank you so much.
01:09:08You're suited for that song.
01:09:09Sometimes when you're in a competition, it's like you're thinking about what's going to do my voice the best.
01:09:13But if you just sing what's true to you, it somehow is most perfect.
01:09:17Music can feel like a hug.
01:09:18Music can feel like a hand on your back that tells you you're not alone.
01:09:22And that's what I'm trying to replicate with my performance.
01:09:42There's delays on the planes out of eastern Montana where you told me you were leaving from.
01:09:48You've been stabbed in the back and the rest of your body.
01:09:52Won't you tell me where you're bleeding from?
01:09:55Well, if you need a tourniquet or if you want to turn it quick, know that I'll be by your
01:10:00side.
01:10:01Pledge your whole soul into things you can't control in a world you'll never satisfy.
01:10:08But I'll bandage up your body, your bones, and your bad days, too.
01:10:14Take care of the blood that your love runs through.
01:10:20I know all the damage some days in this dark world does.
01:10:25But you have been last seenin' somethin' I dreamed of.
01:10:31Come on!
01:10:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:10:46no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:46Oh, I'll bandage up your body, your bones, and your bad days, too.
01:10:52Take care of the blood that your love runs through.
01:10:57Oh, and I know all the damage some days in this dark world does.

01:15:11What's your son's name?
01:15:12Drew.
01:15:13It's been fun having Drew here.
01:15:15He has been by my side every step of the way.
01:15:18Unfortunately, my son couldn't be here for this performance
01:15:20because he had to go back to school.
01:15:22Maybe on my next voyage, I can meet him.
01:15:24Okay.
01:15:24Yes.
01:15:24For sure.
01:15:27Nice to meet you.
01:15:29Huge fan.
01:15:30I'm a big fan of Kiki.
01:15:31But seeing myself in front of her, I was like,
01:15:33mama, I made it.
01:15:34I love that.
01:15:35Kiela, I'm so excited.
01:15:36What are you going to be singing?
01:15:37With a little help with my friend.
01:15:38All right.
01:15:39¿Qué te llevó a esta canción?
01:15:41Ahí fue un momento cuando no me sentí que estaba bien.
01:15:44No sabía dónde estaba, estaba confundida.
01:15:46Dios tenía que ponerle amigos alrededor de mí.
01:15:48Ellos eran destinados para mí.
01:15:50Ellos me ayudan a mi propósito y me empujan.
01:15:53¿Qué te hacer si me hiciera?
01:15:56Escuchando ella cantar, no sabía qué esperar.
01:15:59Y cuando la voz salió, fue increíble.
01:16:03Fue tan verdadero.
01:16:04¿Qué te hacer con mis amigos?
01:16:08She seemed like, oh, this is a perfect singer.
01:16:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:15Baby, with a little help from my friends, yeah.
01:16:24Oh, that was a lot.
01:16:26Oh, no, oh, no.
01:16:28That's first.
01:16:28Don't do it to me.
01:16:32Such a special voice.
01:16:36Such a special voice.
01:16:47Wow, that voice was ancestral, girl.
01:16:50What you're doing is more than just singing.
01:16:53You're embodying spirit through song.
01:16:55That's beautiful.
01:16:56Seriously.
01:16:57Thank you.
01:16:58It blew my mind when I sang for the mentors.
01:17:00I'm humble, and I'm grateful, because that just lets me know that no matter what I sang, somebody's going to
01:17:05feel it, and I want somebody to feel it.
01:17:19What would you do if I sang got a tune?
01:17:25Would you stand up and walk out on me, lend me a way, oh, when I sang you a song,
01:17:34and I'll try not to sing it out of key, oh, yeah.
01:17:38Would you stand by with a little help from my friends, getting by with a little help from my friends,
01:17:48is it all right if I get by with a little help from my friends?
01:17:52Oh, yeah.
01:17:58Oh, yeah.
01:17:59What would you do when my love is gone away?
01:18:03Oh yeah, yeah
01:18:08And how would it feel any of the day
01:18:14I was sad because you're all on your own
01:18:17Is it alright if it's just me and my friend
01:18:27We'll be getting back
01:18:29I need somebody just to love, yes I do, yeah
01:18:52I need me somebody

01:20:15I have never, I have never, ever, I've been on American Idol
01:20:24since I was that big.
01:20:27I have never had any contestant walk out on this stage
01:20:33and tear the place up.
01:20:35The place got blown up.
01:20:38Thank you Lionel, thank you.
01:20:39Janis Joplin sounding, Tina Turner sounding, I don't know who you are.
01:20:46Thank you.

01:20:52Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:20:54Thank you.
01:20:55Thank you Lionel.
01:20:57That was ridiculous.
01:20:59Lionel had to bring me back to life.
01:21:01You know what I'm saying.
01:21:03He had to resuscitate me up in the place.
01:21:07Yes, ma'am.
01:21:07But the last time I seen somebody make me feel like this
01:21:10and get people turned up like this, her name was Fantasia Burrito.

01:21:31I ain't never seen this before.
01:21:33Lionel.
01:21:35The thing that I love about you is I feel like you don't think about what you're doing as it's
01:21:43happening.
01:21:44Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:21:44Like it just flows out of you.
01:21:47You were in the moment, you were having fun with the audience.
01:21:50Like it was like just pouring out.
01:21:52It was like from the heavens to Keela and then out to us.
01:21:56And it was spectacular.
01:21:57Thank you so much, Gary.
01:22:02And Luke?
01:22:04I don't know.
01:22:07Do you remember when I kind of gave you a couple of little singing lessons in the audition?
01:22:12I do. I do.
01:22:14Why did you let me do that to you?
01:22:18You were just being kind to me.
01:22:20Yes, sir, Luke.
01:22:21Thank you for allowing me that time.
01:22:24But I hereby relinquish my vocal lessons to you.
01:22:28Oh, my God.
01:22:28I don't need to even say nothing to you.
01:22:31Nothing.
01:22:31You got Lionel.
01:22:32He done wore a treat in the run.
01:22:34I've never seen nothing like that before.
01:22:36Ever.
01:22:36When you get us this excited, what is so special is you ain't thinking about it.
01:22:42It don't matter if you're in Hawaii.
01:22:44It don't matter if you're in Pensacola.
01:22:46Yes.
01:22:47It don't matter.
01:22:48You're just here to let what God has given you come out.
01:22:52Absolutely.

01:22:59It feel really good.
01:23:01It's just that fire burning on the inside.
01:23:03It came out.
01:23:03What is running through your veins when you're singing like that?
01:23:06Just, I don't know, man.
01:23:08My mind just be everywhere, but I just, you know, I do what I can.
01:23:11Well, thank you.
