00:05:05This week, Iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Gerardo stopped by to mentor the top
00:05:1211. They'll take the stage later with a not to be missed live performance. But first, here they are helping
00:05:19Chris Thompson with his choice in 2024 inductees corner. Let's go.
00:05:29My performance last week did not go very well. Don't be safe. I know it feels good to be safe,
00:05:35but don't be safe. I've never performed like ever in my life until the show. So I have a lot
00:05:40of questions.
00:05:41You're not this far. You must be doing something, right?
00:05:43Yeah, well, I don't know. I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner.
00:05:46You're as cold as ice. It's a really hard song.
00:05:50That's good. You're challenging yourself.
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site. My boss, he always plays, like, rock hits.
00:05:58Chris is a great guy. Very cool voice. One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:05Someday you'll pay.
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that. Make it like a...
00:06:12That's good.
00:06:12You're gonna pay.
00:06:13Yeah.
00:06:14Plus, if you save it for that other time, it's really good.
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody, this is, like, this is really unique.
00:06:20So, uh, how are we sitting with the key? Uh, are we sure we don't want to go down in
00:06:24half?
00:06:25We could try it.
00:06:27Someday you'll pay!
00:06:30There you go.
00:06:31That made all the difference at half-step.
00:06:33There's a lot of pressure. The live shows, there's millions of people watching.
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Chris's last performance wasn't up to where he wanted it to be, so this one's really important.
00:06:41Cold as ice, he's gotta bring it.
00:06:43Good luck, man.
00:06:45That was great. Really great.
00:06:47Thank you, guys.
00:06:53You're as cold as ice
00:06:56Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:08You never take advice
00:07:11Someday you'll pay the price, I know
00:07:16I've seen it before, it happens all the time
00:07:19You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
00:07:23You're digging for gold
00:07:25And throwing away
00:07:27Of fortune and feelings
00:07:29Cause someday you'll pay
00:07:33You're as cold as ice
00:07:36You're as cold as ice
00:07:36You're as cold as ice
00:07:37Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:40Come on!
00:07:42Ooh, you want paradise. Someday you'll pay the price, I know. You've seen it before, it happens all the time.
00:08:00You're closing the door, you leave the world behind.
00:08:03You're digging for gold, throwing away for fortune and fillings, cause someday you'll pay. You're as cold as I. You're
00:08:24as cold as I.
00:08:33You're as cold as ice, willing to sacrifice. You're as cold as ice, willing to sacrifice.
00:09:01All right, Chris, all right, Chris, I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you some,
00:09:10I'm going to give you big pointers here, okay? Yes, sir. Once you take that mic out of that
00:09:16poster, never go back to that mic stand again. Yes, sir. What I'm saying to you, attitude now,
00:09:21from that point on, it's all about doing it, performing it, making it happen. Your voice
00:09:26is there. Trust yourself. Take a chance. Thank you. Chris, this was a fantastic song choice for you.
00:09:35I love the energy you came out with. I feel like this is one of my favorite performances that you
00:09:40have done, if not the favorite performance that you have done. Wow. Thank you. Great way to kick us
00:09:45off, man. Thank you. Yeah, I love that in the front, you kind of kept it down, kind of your
00:09:51style,
00:09:51and then you got back to what the song originally is, and you brought the energy, and you just gave
00:09:57us a lot. I mean, we saw a lot of you. Did you have something blowing on your hair? I
00:10:03had the Beyonce
00:10:03fans. Yeah, Beyonce. The Taylor fans. There you go. You know, you got the hair, and you got the
00:10:09hair blowing, and the wind, and the mix. I mean, it was fun. That was fun. Got to use all
00:10:15the
00:10:15angles. Use all the angles. Great job, Chris. Great job. Thank you, Lou. Yeah. There it is. You're
00:10:20here. Come on. Get in there. Woo. Oh, yeah. I needed that. No, no, no, no. Mine doesn't move. No,
00:10:30no. Thank you, Roger. Cold as ice. There was a look on that performance. You wanted to come back
00:10:36and have a great night tonight. How'd that one feel differently tonight? That just felt fun. I feel
00:10:42like I was sitting on my side of the comfort zone for a long time, and you guys talking to
00:10:46me, like,
00:10:47push through, break through. It's not just about being uncomfortable. So this is out of my comfort
00:10:51zone, but it was so fun, and I needed that. And your hair looks especially great tonight.

00:12:24Good morning.
00:12:27Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer, what's going down?
00:12:31Nothing. I'm here to entertain y'all.
00:12:33It is Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:38When I sing, I just hope that somebody is touched by me, somebody sees me.
00:12:44The Grammy for best R&B album.
00:12:47And the Oscar goes to...
00:12:51Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:53Jennifer Hudson.
00:12:54Wow, I don't know what to say, but I thank you all.
00:12:56I cannot believe this. Look what God can do.
00:13:00I feel like my life is like living the impossible dream at times.
00:13:10You think you're the best that we can find in America?
00:13:13Yes, I do.
00:13:21I get chills watching that.
00:13:23For one night only, the incredible Jennifer Hudson makes her historic return to American Idol.
00:13:30She'll be mentoring the finalists and taking a seat on the panel, along with Carrie, Luke, and Lionel.
00:13:37It will be a magical night on our stage, and it all starts at 8, 7 central next Monday.
00:13:44Now, here's Pat and Neil giving their expert advice on Adonis Summer classes by Ray.
00:13:49Take a look.
00:13:51Hi, guys.
00:13:53Welcome.
00:13:54So nice to meet you.
00:13:55My mom is the biggest Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo fan.
00:13:59My mom was a singer.
00:14:03She sang Pat Benatar.
00:14:06Hey, Mom.
00:14:07Hi, Mom.
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:10Stop. Don't cry. Don't cry.
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom.
00:14:13She's doing great.
00:14:15Oh, my gosh.
00:14:16Really meant a lot to me and to her.
00:14:20I love you, Mommy.
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I am singing MacArthur Park by Donna Summer.
00:14:28I saw that Carrie did MacArthur Park on her season of American Idol.
00:14:33Like, this is my sign to do the song.
00:14:37So this week, I really have to bring it.
00:14:40Last week, I was actually in the bottom, too.
00:14:43And Lionel Richie saved me.
00:14:45My answer is Ray.
00:14:46I definitely feel the pressure.
00:14:48I am so grateful to sing on the stage again.
00:14:51So I got to do it justice.
00:14:53Again.
00:14:56One suggestion, maybe.
00:14:58Mm-hmm.
00:14:58It's very powerful, right?
00:15:00Is there a way to do something where you're very powerful and then do something where it's
00:15:03very quiet?
00:15:04So it gets really soulful.
00:15:06Yeah, like at the very end.
00:15:08So I'm like...
00:15:10If you hold that last note a little longer, too, and just let it fade away, maybe move the
00:15:13mic away.
00:15:18You know what?
00:15:19No one can do what you can do.
00:15:21So you just play with it, enjoy it.
00:15:23And we'll get you out of that bottom.
00:15:25Yes!
00:15:25We have it in there.
00:15:26You will find it and bring it today.
00:15:28Thank you, guys.
00:15:28Yes, you're welcome.
00:15:36Spring was never waiting for a steer.
00:15:41It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance.
00:15:49The Carpist Park is melting in the dark.
00:15:54All the sweet green icing blowing down.
00:16:00Someone left the cake out in the rain.
00:16:06I don't think that I can take it.
00:16:10Cause it took so long to bake it.
00:16:13And I'll never have that recipe again.
00:16:19Oh, no!
00:16:28I've become the yellow contrast.
00:16:33Flaming like a nail.
00:16:36On the ground beneath your feet.
00:16:41The Carpist Park is melting in the dark.
00:16:47All the sweet green icing blowing down.
00:16:53Someone left the cake out in the rain.
00:16:59I don't think that I can take it.
00:17:04Cause it took so long to bake it.
00:17:08And I'll never have that recipe again.
00:17:14No, no, no, no.
00:17:26No!
00:17:28Never again.
00:17:51I love the drama.
00:17:53It was just dramatic in all the right places
00:17:56and the dress and getting down.
00:17:59You were telling a story.
00:18:00I still don't know what that song means,
00:18:03but you did a great job,
00:18:05and you clocked me from my performance all them years ago.
00:18:11So good job.
00:18:13Thank you so much.
00:18:16I feel so much better now because you performed it.
00:18:18You don't know what it means.
00:18:19I don't know what it means, but it was great.
00:18:22So I think a lot of my songs people don't know what they mean.
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:18:27But the bottom line is your whole presentation this whole season has just been great vocals.
00:18:35We saw you almost kind of get emotional.
00:18:38You're really pouring it all into your performances, and we see that.
00:18:42And we're glad you're here.
00:18:43And, America, make sure you vote.
00:18:45And great job.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:50Just, just, just for the record, just for the record, you're not supposed to know what it means.
00:18:55It just goes, yeah, it's a hit record.
00:18:57It's a hit record.
00:18:58By the way, I love the fact that we're doing these songs because these are classic hits,
00:19:03and you are making it classic by turning these songs into your song.
00:19:08And that's what makes it special.
00:19:09You're not afraid.
00:19:11You're not afraid to put your stamp on that hit record.
00:19:17Way to go, Ray.
00:19:19I always wondered why the cake was in the rain.
00:19:23Why was the cake out in the rain?
00:19:25Couldn't take it.
00:19:26Too long to bake it.
00:19:28I'll never have that recipe again.
00:19:30Carrie, when you watched that performance, what do you remember about that night when
00:19:35you performed it back in 2005?
00:19:38I think I might have been told at the end I looked like I was from a dishwasher powder commercial.
00:19:47What?
00:19:47I think I can guess.
00:19:49We're nice to you guys.
00:19:50What?
00:19:50Okay?
00:19:51I can guess what shot powder was.
00:19:52I think so.
00:19:53Maybe, maybe it wasn't that one.
00:19:55It might have been a blue dress I was wearing.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:19:57It was something like that.
00:19:59So tonight you wanted to come back and have a great one.
00:20:01How'd you change your approach this week?
00:20:03I honestly just worked so hard on my mental health this week and just made sure I was
00:20:09so present in this performance and put my soul into it.
00:20:12And you did it.
00:20:12There you go.
00:20:14There you go.
00:20:14Please vote to make it to next week.
00:20:17Send them in for Ray and all your favorites online via the app or through social media.
00:20:22Voting will close in the final commercial break.
00:20:25Ray, everyone.
00:20:26Nice work.
00:20:32And now from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 1989, here's some Stevie Wonder coming
00:20:38from Brayden Rumpfelt.
00:20:44So what are you singing today?
00:20:46Superstition.
00:20:46What made you decide to do this one?
00:20:48My brother texted me.
00:20:49Yeah, nobody wants to hear a slow song again.
00:20:52Just go ahead and do something upbeat like superstition.
00:20:55So we kind of like contradict each other, but we're best friends.
00:20:58We haven't even had a fist fight since like high school.
00:21:02Oh, there is superstitious.
00:21:05Are you going to hand-held?
00:21:06Are you going to say?
00:21:07What do you say?
00:21:08I would get out.
00:21:09I would be, you know, just playing.
00:21:11Yeah, if you're happy and you're really trying to get through, get those arms up.
00:21:16Broke the looking glass.
00:21:19People are going to be out there clapping.
00:21:22Good, good.
00:21:22Hopefully on two and four.
00:21:24Not one or three.
00:21:25Yeah, they're not one or three.
00:21:26They do that.
00:21:26I'll tell you, that's why you should never look out in the crowd.
00:21:29Yeah, it's like looking on the front row to a funeral if you don't want to cry.
00:21:32That's what I was doing before this, by the way.
00:21:35I was like the wedding, more of a funeral singer.
00:21:38I love this kid.
00:21:39Bray was a hoot.
00:21:40He was a hoot.
00:21:41I'm going to adopt him.
00:21:42I don't know about the twin.
00:21:43We've been married for 44 years.
00:21:45It works out.
00:21:45A baggravation.
00:21:46I understand.
00:21:47Pat and Neil really just felt like I had met them before or something.
00:21:51Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:52We had a good time.
00:21:53We had a lot of fun.
00:21:54I feel like we had too much fun.
00:21:55You guys are great.
00:21:56Really fun time.
00:21:58Brayton, I don't have any doubt that he will deliver.
00:22:01I'll deliver.
00:22:01He will.
00:22:02A truly great performance.
00:22:08There is superstition
00:22:13Riding on the wall
00:22:18There is superstition
00:22:23Let us back to fall
00:22:27A 13-month-old baby
00:22:36Seven years of bad luck
00:22:41Seven years of bad luck
00:23:00Oh, when there is superstition
00:23:05Oh, wash your face and mess
00:23:10And rid me of the problem
00:23:15And do all that you can
00:23:20Keep me in the day
00:23:22Keep me in the day
00:23:22Or keep me going strong
00:23:29And you don't want to stay up with me
00:23:34Or sad in my song
00:23:39When you believe in things
00:23:42When you believe in things
00:23:43That you don't understand
00:23:44And you're sad

00:26:29now from the rock and roll hall of fame class of 2000 for a timeless track by jackson brown courtesy
00:26:36of brooks
00:26:43last week's performance i wasn't extremely happy about i felt like the back half you were kind of
00:26:48uncomfortable i got so nervous and anxious just do what you do because you got it your voice is so
00:26:55incredible thank you when people believe in me it helps me believe more in myself
00:27:01coming into this week definitely more confident
00:27:05i think this is a good song for me to kind of express some of the feelings that i have
00:27:09being
00:27:10vulnerable in front of people and kind of just letting loose what are you singing today uh these
00:27:14days by jackson brown i was a shy kid and i grew up trying to be independent just kind of
00:27:19staying in
00:27:19my own lane and that's what it means to me don't do that much talking these days yeah you close
00:27:27your
00:27:27eyes what do you got going on when you're doing that i see shapes and colors when i close my
00:27:33eyes
00:27:33depending on the mood of the song it's kind of hard to explain because i'm colorblind but when i
00:27:40close my eyes and sing i see the music rather than hear it if i feel that it's like happy
00:27:46it's usually
00:27:47brighter and the shapes are like bolder
00:27:51if i were to hear something really sad it would be darker
00:27:56you're tapping into some really some spiritual stuff going on my man i'm telling you the blessing
00:28:01that the audience is going to get from hearing him sing that song that's power he's such a sweet soul
00:28:07i just think that what he is and what he has is just something really special well done thank you

00:37:29You're great
00:37:30Hello Daniel
00:37:31How are you doing
00:37:32Good to see you guys
00:37:33Doing well
00:37:34This round was definitely
00:37:37The hardest time I've had
00:37:39Choosing a song
00:37:40I'll be performing
00:37:41Living on a Prayer
00:37:42By Bon Jovi
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on
00:37:45To what we've got
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this
00:37:49This is my very first time
00:37:51Performing a rock song
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the dots
00:37:56I forgot the word
00:37:58I can't believe this is happening right now
00:38:00I feel like I made a few mistakes in there
00:38:02Living on a Prayer
00:38:09What's that high note?
00:38:10What is that note?
00:38:12Are you worried about that note?
00:38:14That's what I want to know
00:38:14Maybe so, yes
00:38:15Okay, so if you are
00:38:16What I've got to do is super really high thing
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this
00:38:21Try going like this
00:38:24Because when you go up
00:38:25You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power than you ever need
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon up to that point
00:38:34People remember intros
00:38:35And you remember endings
00:38:36And he's got to deliver that end
00:38:38Going into the performance
00:38:40I have a lot to work on
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition
00:38:43It will mean the world to me
00:38:45And I want it to be
00:38:47One of the best performances
00:38:49That I've delivered
00:38:50And I'm just going to keep working harder
00:38:51So I can get there
00:38:57She said we've got to hold on
00:39:01To what we've got
00:39:03Doesn't make a difference
00:39:06If we make it or not
00:39:08We've got each other
00:39:10And that's a life for love
00:39:15We'll give it a shot
00:39:18Come on, put some hands together
00:39:20Come on
00:39:21Tommy used to work on the dark
00:39:26Union's been no strife
00:39:28He's down on his luck
00:39:30He's tough
00:39:32Ooh, so tough
00:39:36Yeah
00:39:38Gina works together all day
00:39:42Working for her man
00:39:45She brings all my pain
00:39:47For love
00:39:50Oh, for love
00:39:54She says we've got to hold on
00:39:57To what we've got
00:40:00It doesn't make a difference
00:40:02If we make it or not
00:40:04We've got each other
00:40:06And that's a life for love
00:40:10We'll give it a shot
00:40:13Oh, we're halfway there
00:40:17Oh, living on a prayer
00:40:21Take my hand
00:40:23We'll make it, I swear
00:40:25Oh, living on a prayer
00:40:30Living on a prayer
00:40:34Living on a prayer

00:44:58It's Keela Richardson
00:45:05Talk to us about this last performance
00:45:08At the end of the judges song contest
00:45:10I looked up and saw Drew
00:45:11And it made me really emotional
00:45:12The next person through
00:45:16Is Keela
00:45:19It's been a tough week
00:45:20But I didn't think I was going to make it through
00:45:22But I made it through
00:45:24The emotional release
00:45:25That means you gave it everything
00:45:27That's what I did
00:45:28And it's exactly what you got to do
00:45:29With Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
00:45:31Here I am
00:45:31I'm signed, sealed, delivered
00:45:33I'm your arms
00:45:34I would love to see you
00:45:37Sing that song
00:45:38To your boy
00:45:40Oh my gosh
00:45:41I mean, I could really feel that
00:45:43I would love to be singing that
00:45:44To my two grown daughters
00:45:46Yes, yes

00:45:54Because that's it
00:45:55She ran through it
00:45:56And she did a great job
00:45:57But it was
00:45:58It was like Stevie Wonder's version
00:46:00So, they go
00:46:01You got to twist it up a little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if they could do
00:46:05An intro singing verse
00:46:06As a ballad
00:46:07Slow
00:46:08Like in other words
00:46:09Second verse
00:46:11Seen a lot of things
00:46:13In this whole world
00:46:15I think that was a great decision
00:46:17When I said that
00:46:18I said, oh, I see why
00:46:19Y'all got a lot of glannies

00:49:35Thank you Luke. Let, let, let the congregation say, Amen.
00:49:47Luke squeezed my hands so hard. You squeezed my hands so hard because you were so excited.
00:49:54That was absolutely amazing. I mean, I think it should be Rock Hall show every single week.
00:50:01I agree.
00:50:02Because you guys are just bringing it.
00:50:04Unbelievable.
00:50:05Thank you guys.

00:52:39Now with another rock kick by an icon from the class of 1994.
00:52:45Elton John.
00:52:46Lucas Leon.
00:52:46Take a look.
00:52:49This is the most exciting thing I've ever done.
00:52:52Well, it's not that much stuff that you've done already.
00:52:55And you're only 17?
00:52:5618.
00:52:5718.
00:52:58No, we're in the fourth quarter.
00:52:59I'm just telling you right now.
00:53:00Fourth quarter.
00:53:00We're 70s in the fourth quarter.
00:53:02That's okay.
00:53:03It's always good to know where you're at.
00:53:05So Lucas is a young dude, man.
00:53:06I'm always impressed that they're out there doing it.
00:53:11Hey kids, shake it loose together.
00:53:14The spotlight's hitting something that's been done to change the weather.
00:53:17So why did you choose Benny and the Jets?
00:53:20I'm a country-ish artist, I'd like to say, and I've done some pretty safe picks.
00:53:25But this round, I just kind of want to loosen up a little bit and do something nobody really saw
00:53:31coming.
00:53:33That's great.
00:53:35I would have never expected that rasp to come out of you.
00:53:37The intro of this song.
00:53:38Could you just kind of like, maybe like, some kind of just...
00:53:45More activity up high.
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone, even though it is horrifyingly scary, it is so important to do.
00:53:54And if you are able to manage it, it really gets you so far.
00:54:02The thing that I'm most nervous about for this performance...
00:54:05That's better.
00:54:07...is, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it up and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table this
00:54:11week,
00:54:12I'm wondering how much is too much.
00:54:13Work on it, see if it comes to you.
00:54:15Yeah, we're getting there.
00:54:16Yeah, you'll get there.
00:54:18Surprising.
00:54:28Hey kids, shake it loose together, the spotlight's eating something that's been known to change the weather.
00:54:35We'll kill the fatty calf tonight, so stick around.
00:54:41You're gonna hear the electric music, solid walls of sound.
00:54:48Yeah, Kenny and Ronnie, every stadium, yeah.
00:54:52Oh, but the soul's pissed out.
00:54:54With the band and the chants.
00:54:58Oh, but the weird and the wonderful.
00:55:02Oh, man, is she the red king?
00:55:05She's got a electric food, a morning suit.
00:55:08You know, I read it in a magazine.
00:55:11You know, it's no longer.
00:55:14P-P-P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:19Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:25Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:26Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:32Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:37Oh, A-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:39Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:41Oh, but the weird and the wonderful band.
00:55:44And you see the red king.
00:55:46She's got a electric food, a morning suit.
00:55:50You know, I read it in a magazine.
00:55:52B-b-b-b-banny and the Jets
00:55:58Oh, no, no, no, no
00:56:03Benny and the Jets
00:56:06Oh, Benny
00:56:08Benny and the Jets
00:56:25One of my favorite songs
00:56:29And I'm telling you, you waited right to the end
00:56:33To put your magic on it
00:56:36I'm telling you when I say this, take the chances
00:56:38You are the musician of life
00:56:40Let the vocals go
00:56:41Let the vocals go
00:56:42I thought it was a really good song choice
00:56:46And I feel like you are so entertaining behind the piano
00:56:50Which is hard when you're kind of tethered to one place
00:56:53Behind a big instrument
00:56:55But you were entertaining still
00:56:57And that was great
00:56:58Thank you so much
00:57:02I smiled the whole time
00:57:05You have this charisma thing
00:57:07That you can't go by anywhere in a store
00:57:10Anywhere
00:57:10You just make me happy
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements
00:57:15And, man, you just keep growing
00:57:18And keep surprising us
00:57:19Unbelievable
00:57:20Thank you so much
00:57:22Nice work tonight
00:57:24Did you rehearse those facialisms?
00:57:27They kind of just happen
00:57:28I don't really know where they come from
00:57:30You're right
00:57:31He just makes people happy when you watch him, right?
00:57:34If Lucas is your favorite
00:57:35If you want him in that top nine
00:57:37Vote for him right now
00:57:39You can do so online or via social media
00:57:42Text voting is available
00:57:43To subscribers of all carriers
00:57:45Lucas Leon, America
00:57:47Thank you
00:57:52Next, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo
00:57:55Help Kendall land on the perfect song for the moment
00:57:58Check it out
00:58:02Last week's performance
00:58:03Definitely very far from my favorite I've ever done in my life
00:58:06I was just in my head
00:58:08And for a second I forgot to just be Kendall
00:58:11At this stage in the competition
00:58:13There's just not room for mediocre performances
00:58:15I have to step it up
00:58:17What are you going to sing?
00:58:18I'm trying to decide between two songs right now
00:58:20I would be either singing Message in a Bottle by the police
00:58:23Or Peace of My Heart by James Joplin
00:58:26Take it!
00:58:27I love your voice
00:58:29I love your whole demeanor
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart
00:58:33It's a classic rock song
00:58:34Everybody knows it
00:58:35And they want to sing along
00:58:40That's fun
00:58:41That's awesome
00:58:42That's great
00:58:43That's great
00:58:43This is like
00:58:44I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone
00:58:46But kind of
00:58:47Doesn't sound like it
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens
00:58:49Yeah, let's hear me sing the other one
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one where she could be more of like a performing art-ist
00:58:59Message in a Bottle
00:59:03It's more authentic to me in what I might write
00:59:06You've got to pick what's going to make you the most comfortable
00:59:09Yeah
00:59:10Truly
00:59:11I am a little bit in my head about this week
00:59:14Song choice is really important
00:59:15Okay, let me just say this
00:59:16Yeah, please help
00:59:17If you want to make a splash
00:59:19Do Message in a Bottle
00:59:21No way
00:59:22Okay
00:59:26Let's find out which song it is
00:59:29Kendall takes the stage live right after this
00:59:32Hang tight
00:59:45You are live on Idle before the break
00:59:48We're on the edge of our seats
00:59:49Wondering which song Kendall chose for the major moment here
00:59:53We should go with Pat and Neil's suggestion and perform The Police
00:59:56Or is it going to be Janis Joplin
01:00:01Let's find out right now
01:00:02America, give it up for Kendall
01:00:14Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man
01:00:24Yeah, didn't I give you everything a woman possibly can
01:00:31Honey, I did
01:00:32He's trying to tell myself that I've had enough
01:00:38I'm gonna show you, baby
01:00:41That a woman can be tough
01:00:44I want you to come on
01:00:47Come on
01:00:48Come on
01:00:51Take it
01:00:52Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:00:57Break it
01:00:59Break another little piece of my heart now, darling
01:01:04Help her
01:01:05Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:10You know you got it
01:01:13If it makes you feel good
01:01:15If it makes you feel good
01:01:16Each time I tell myself I can't stand the pain
01:01:21That's when you hold me in your arms
01:01:25And I sing it once again
01:01:28Come on
01:01:30Come on
01:01:32Come on
01:01:33Come on
01:01:34Come on
01:01:36Take it
01:01:36Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:40Break it
01:01:42Break another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:47Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
01:01:54You know you got it
01:01:56If it makes you feel good
01:02:15How do you feel?
01:02:18It's been a weird week on The Voice
01:02:22So, you know what?
01:02:23We just did that, y'all
01:02:25Kendall
01:02:28You have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30Or you wouldn't be standing here on this stage
01:02:31I just kind of felt like you gave up on yourself a little bit towards the end
01:02:35Like it was like, started out energetic
01:02:36And then it just kind of deflated
01:02:38Like the more you went, you started turning around more
01:02:40And I was like, where's she going?
01:02:42What's she doing?
01:02:43But it was more about like your attitude toward it
01:02:46Your voice is amazing
01:02:48Thank you
01:02:49Yeah, way to battle through
01:02:51Thanks
01:02:52If you're having a rough
01:02:54We all have our rough voice weeks
01:02:57And way to battle through
01:02:58And I do believe you picked the perfect song
01:03:01Thank you
01:03:01That embodies what you are as an artist
01:03:03And kind of a free spirit
01:03:04So way to get through it
01:03:06Yeah, congrats
01:03:07Good job
01:03:07I totally agree with Luke
01:03:10In terms of you picked the right song
01:03:11And believe me
01:03:12It happens to all of us
01:03:14Our brain gets involved with our throat
01:03:16And then it gets all cattywampers
01:03:18Yeah
01:03:18You did a great job
01:03:19Thank you
01:03:20Alright, don't let that get in your way
01:03:22Thank you
01:03:25Let's hear it for Kendall, everyone
01:03:30I did
01:03:31I did
01:03:31I can't even circle
01:03:32Don't speak
01:03:34I'll just make signs for you
01:03:35Thank you for fighting through that one tonight
01:03:37Let's try and get you that vote, Kendall
01:03:39You ready?
01:03:40Let's go, guys
01:03:41If Kendall stole your heart

01:03:44Online or via text
01:03:46You can also vote
01:03:47On the American Idol social pages
01:03:49On Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
01:03:52Your live results are coming at the end of the show
01:03:55So, go, go, go
01:03:56Kendall, everyone
01:03:57Go better
01:03:58Thank you
01:04:04He is still riding high off last week's triumph
01:04:07Can he deliver again
01:04:08With some platinum of foreigner
01:04:10It's Philman Lee
01:04:14Philman had the most surprising arrangement
01:04:18You said it was his big breakout moment
01:04:20It was
01:04:20It really felt like it in the room
01:04:22It was
01:04:23That was incredible and electric
01:04:25Nice to meet you
01:04:26Going into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:04:28I definitely feel like my confidence has gotten a lot better
01:04:31So, insurance and rock and roll
01:04:34Insurance was just paying the bills
01:04:35Hey, I was a bank teller
01:04:37Oh, wow
01:04:38Yeah
01:04:38Yeah, I worked on the docs
01:04:39Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-blooded by Foreigner
01:04:43When I'm hot-blooded
01:04:45Take it to sea
01:04:47I think that a lot of times
01:04:49Especially young people
01:04:50They think that
01:04:51The higher they can get it
01:04:53That delivers some kind of power
01:04:55And it doesn't
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice
01:04:58Yes, true
01:04:58The rasp is great
01:04:59Thank you
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step
01:05:02Because it just sounds like
01:05:03When you're singing
01:05:04You're not really comfortable getting that note
01:05:06So, you're backing off the mic
01:05:07Now you're moving so fine
01:05:11Let me lay it on the line
01:05:14Way better
01:05:15And just bringing it down enough
01:05:16Gives them enough confidence
01:05:18And they're able to do it
01:05:19Let me talk to you
01:05:20About singing this song
01:05:21Okay
01:05:21So, you are singing this to a female
01:05:24Like, you better be saying like
01:05:25Come on, baby
01:05:26Do you do more than dance?
01:05:29You know what I mean?
01:05:29Oh, man
01:05:29What would I do
01:05:30If I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over here
01:05:33Oh, man
01:05:34I started something
01:06:00Hot-blooded
01:06:02Hot-blooded
01:06:04You don't have to read my mind
01:06:11Know what I have in mind
01:06:14Honey, you ought to know
01:06:20Yeah, you're moving so fine
01:06:24Let me lay it on the line
01:06:28Yeah, I want to know
01:06:30What you're doing
01:06:31How to show
01:06:35Now it's up to you
01:06:38We can make a steeper rendezvous
01:06:44Just me and you
01:06:46I'll show you nothing
01:06:48Like you never knew
01:06:51Smile, half-blooded
01:06:54Take it to see
01:06:56I got a fever
01:06:58I'm 100 degrees
01:07:00Come on, baby
01:07:02Do you do more than dance?
01:07:04I'm half-blooded
01:07:09I'm half-blooded
01:07:10I'm half-blooded
01:07:11Check it to see
01:07:13I'm 100 degrees
01:07:16Come on, baby
01:07:18Do you do more than dance?
01:07:21I'm half-blooded
01:07:25I'm 100 degrees
01:07:27And dance
01:07:42Filming, wow, wow, wow
01:07:45On Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:07:47Those are the kind of songs
01:07:48I'm thinking we're going to hear
01:07:49A great song choice
01:07:50Listen, you know, just
01:07:52Next time, too
01:07:53Just don't be scared
01:07:55To just be in the character
01:07:56Of everything
01:07:57I think your in-ear monitor
01:07:58Was kind of messing with you
01:08:00A little bit
01:08:00And it was throwing yunk
01:08:01Slid off a little bit
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there
01:08:03Get through that
01:08:04And get back to, like,
01:08:05Embodying what that song is
01:08:07I even wanted to see
01:08:08Your hair get messed up
01:08:09A little bit
01:08:10I think I got too much product
01:08:12For this thing to follow
01:08:13I totally agree

01:10:21Heads Carolina
01:10:22Tails California
01:10:23Okay, Jodi Messina
01:10:24Last week I got online
01:10:26And I saw Jodi Messina
01:10:27Watching me sing her song
01:10:28Okay, Hannah
01:10:29You're not allowed to sing it
01:10:30Better than me
01:10:30That is so cool
01:10:32Rock and roll hall of fame
01:10:33Week had me a little bit nervous
01:10:34But I did not grow up
01:10:35With rock and roll music
01:10:35In my household
01:10:36At all
01:10:37Your family was
01:10:38They were musicians or singers
01:10:40Bluegrass
01:10:40Full time
01:10:41We lived on a bus
01:10:41Yes
01:10:42Bluegrass
01:10:43I love bluegrass
01:10:44I decided to sing
01:10:45Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
01:10:46Took my love
01:10:47And I took it down
01:10:50Hannah's like a little bird
01:10:51She has a beautiful voice
01:10:53Kind of forgot I had a guitar
01:10:54On me there for a minute
01:10:55I was like
01:10:55Oh yeah, I gotta play this thing
01:10:56No, but it was kind of cool
01:10:57You didn't
01:10:58I say not playing a guitar
01:10:59In the beginning
01:11:00Yeah, I loved where I came in
01:11:01Second half
01:11:02Yeah
01:11:02Hannah represents
01:11:04Pureness in family and music
01:11:06You have kids, right?
01:11:08Two daughters
01:11:09Two daughters
01:11:09Did you travel with your kids?
01:11:10You bet
01:11:11We never traveled without them
01:11:12It's very difficult
01:11:13She's got a lot on her plate
01:11:15She's trying to do something
01:11:16Really important
01:11:17At the same time
01:11:17There are sacrifices to be made
01:11:19Still praying for a bus
01:11:20Right now
01:11:20We're just working out of a van
01:11:22With my three kids
01:11:23Oh, you need a bus
01:11:24You need the bus
01:11:25It definitely scares me
01:11:27Going into the business as a mom
01:11:28Like right now
01:11:28My husband is here full time
01:11:30With me
01:11:30Taking care of my kids
01:11:31While I'm doing this
01:11:34So that's the hardest part right now
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard
01:11:37But if Pat did it
01:11:38I can do it
01:11:38Do you have any other questions
01:11:39Or any thoughts?
01:11:40She's a pro
01:11:42You can't scare her
01:11:43She's got three kids
01:11:51I took my love
01:11:53And I took it down
01:11:57I climbed a mountain
01:11:59And I turned around
01:12:03And I saw my reflection
01:12:06In a snow-covered hill
01:12:09Till the landslide brought me down
01:12:14Oh, nearer in the sky
01:12:19What is it for?
01:12:23Can the child within my heart
01:12:26Rise above?
01:12:30Can I sail through the changing ocean tide?
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons
01:12:40Of my life?
01:12:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:12:51Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:12:56Cause I built my life around you
01:13:03But time makes you bolder
01:13:08Even children get older
01:13:11And I'm getting older too
01:13:17Oh, I'm getting older too
01:13:24Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:39That was a classic song
01:14:01With a classic performance
01:14:04Amazing
01:14:06Hannah, absolutely gorgeous
01:14:08Like perfect song for you to choose
01:14:10And just the way
01:14:11I mean, I know we say you made it your own
01:14:12But it, I mean, it sounded, it sounded like you
01:14:15It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it, it made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like, I mean, it was like I was at a performance
01:14:27At an award show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, Luke, I appreciate it
01:14:34As they said
01:14:35And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:39We were all drawn into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work
01:14:43Appreciate it
01:14:46Praying for a bus
01:14:47Praying for a bus
01:14:48Praying for that bus

01:15:06Thank you
01:15:12One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:18Live right after this
01:15:32We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:37And we're closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest bands of all time
01:15:42Queen
01:15:43It's coming from Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I'm going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love by Queen
01:15:56Don't tell anyone
01:15:57But I just heard it for the first time yesterday
01:15:59And I kind of started to lose myself in the song
01:16:01And then when I opened my eyes
01:16:02And looked at them
01:16:03I lost everything
01:16:04I'm sorry
01:16:05Can I get the words actually?
01:16:07I don't want to put the song right
01:16:09I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself in rock and roll
01:16:15And I feel like me as a worship leader
01:16:17And predominantly singing gospel music
01:16:20You don't always see that in rock and roll
01:16:22Your motion on the stage
01:16:24You have to be that worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment in church
01:16:28You have to command that stage
01:16:31Take a look in the mirror and cry
01:16:35Jordan's instrument is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples of a person
01:16:39Who literally has control of the instrument
01:16:42And all you're going to do
01:16:43Is you're going to put those last little bits in there
01:16:45Just to tweak it a little bit
01:16:46Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat Neal told me to move around the stage
01:16:50And gave some really, really cool advice
01:16:52On how to command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself too much
01:16:58The power in his voice
01:16:59And it's just sensational
01:17:01Okay, that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well, damn
01:17:03What the hell
01:17:05Okay, I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore ever
01:17:07That's worth it
01:17:07I feel like I was in church
01:17:12Can anybody find me
01:17:16Somebody to love
01:17:28Each morning I get up my dial
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:33Take a look in the mirror
01:17:37Lord, what do you do in me
01:17:40Spin all my years
01:17:42Believe in you
01:17:44I just can't hear no relief
01:17:46Lord
01:17:47Somebody
01:17:48Somebody
01:17:49Ooh, somebody
01:17:50Somebody
01:17:50Can anybody find me
01:17:54Somebody to love
01:18:02We work hard
01:18:03Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:18:04And I try and I try and I try
01:18:08But everybody wants to put me down
01:18:11Say I'm going crazy
01:18:14Say I got a lot of wanting to pray
01:18:17No common sense
01:18:19Nobody loves to believe
01:18:23Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:18:32Find me somebody
01:18:34Find me somebody
01:18:38Find me somebody
01:18:38Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:18:39Be somebody to love
01:18:41Come on, I'm looking for the song tonight
01:18:42Be somebody to love
01:18:45Say somebody
01:18:46Somebody
01:18:46Somebody
01:18:47Somebody
01:18:48Find me
01:18:49Can anybody find me
01:18:56Somebody
01:18:57Somebody to love
01:19:04Somebody
01:19:05Somebody
01:19:06Somebody
01:19:06Somebody
01:19:06Somebody
01:19:23Jordan!
01:19:26Jordan!
01:19:29That was so much fun!
01:19:32Can you hear me?
01:19:34Yes, I can.
01:19:36That was so much fun, Jordan.
01:19:38Um, you just proved, like, you don't have this, like, gruff, like, rock voice coming out here, you know?
01:19:46Your voice is suited to, obviously, what you do for a living, but you just proved that anyone can rock.
01:19:56That's all right. Thank you, Carrie. Thank you.
01:19:59Everything about that was what American Idol is all about.

01:20:31Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:20:34It started strong, and wow, what a finish, and breath control, too, at the end there.
