00:00:00Ryan, seriously, why do we have to dress up?
00:00:03Oh, Luke. Luke Skywalker. Come on.
00:00:07We're in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
00:00:10Yeah, I don't know about these boots.
00:00:12Um, I kind of love my buns.
00:00:17Oh, my gosh. The leaders of the Rebel Alliance are coming, y'all. Should we hide?
00:00:21Nice disguise, Rebel.
00:00:23Thanks. I've learned it from the best.
00:00:25Well, Luke Skywalker, I've always wanted to meet you.
00:00:28May the Force be with you, Padawan.
00:00:34Wow. That was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
00:00:38Why didn't you dress up as Chewbacca? We could have gotten a group photo.
00:00:42Chewbacca is, like, seven feet tall.
00:00:45Oh, so that's why you're Yoda.
00:00:48Judge me by my size, do you?
00:00:52It's better to be on the short side than the dark side.
00:00:55Right? The dark side of the Force is so overrated.
00:00:59I mean, it's real weak sauce, if you ask me.
00:01:12I'll bust you up.
00:01:21I find your lack of faith disturbing.
00:01:24Oh, no. You've misunderstood me.
00:01:29That is jokes. I got jokes.
00:01:31I got jokes. This guy.
00:01:36Okay, the power of the dark side is a little intimidating.
00:01:40I'm not gonna lie.
00:01:44But the power of the vote is in your hands, America.
00:01:48Want to see my cool lightsaber trick?
00:01:52This is Disney Night, and this is American Idol.
00:02:09I'm so excited to have you for Disney Night.
00:02:12Voting for your top nine is open.
00:02:14So use the power of the vote and get started.

00:03:24You look beautiful tonight, Perry.
00:03:32By the way, Luke, thank you for having my back there with Darth Vader.
00:03:35Oh, yeah, I had you.
00:03:36Very, very gentle.
00:03:37Darth was done.
00:03:38Yes.
00:03:39He had a feeling.
00:03:40You'll notice a fourth chair there on the panel.

00:04:47We've got our Founders Club here.
00:04:49How's it feel to be in that seat, Jennifer?
00:04:51I always wanted to know what was behind this judging panel.
00:04:56Snacks.
00:04:57Is it snacks?
00:04:58Pretzels and peanuts and chocolate.
00:05:01Yes, that's what's back there.
00:05:02Wow.
00:05:02Not only is Jennifer our guest judge for the evening, but earlier this week, she met with
00:05:07the top nine to mentor them on their Disney song picks.
00:05:10Plus, the finalists got the VIP treatment when they visited Disneyland Resort for some
00:05:15magical moments.

00:05:37All around our set tonight will be 113 hidden Mickeys.
00:05:43They could be anywhere.
00:05:45And I do mean anywhere.
00:05:49So play along.
00:05:50Hi.
00:05:51See how many you can find.
00:05:53Looking good, Phil.
00:05:55Now kicking things off with Daniel Stalworth.
00:05:59It's a signature song from Aladdin.
00:06:01Let's go.
00:06:04I'm so excited about being here at Disneyland.
00:06:06I feel like a big kid.
00:06:09Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission Breakout.
00:06:12I felt my heart go up and down.
00:06:16Oh, I mean, my family, they support me 100%.
00:06:19They called me today.
00:06:20They kind of hated it.
00:06:21They couldn't be here.
00:06:22That's my God.
00:06:23But I have my other family here.
00:06:24The hopefuls here of American Idol.
00:06:25I appreciate them for just being the family away from home.
00:06:31Disneyland was incredible, but I'm super excited to meet the one and only Jennifer Hudson.
00:06:36Like, when did you discover your voice, your gift of singing?
00:06:39I started singing in church about the age of five.
00:06:41You sound like you preach, too.
00:06:42I am a preacher.
00:06:43I can show you the world.
00:06:46I started preaching at the age of 11 and 27 now.
00:06:51I'm singing a whole new world from Aladdin.
00:06:54I want to feel some of them gospel rules come out this song even more.
00:06:57Ah.
00:06:58When I heard Daniel sing, it was almost too fast.
00:07:01It sounds like you're ministering while you're talking.
00:07:04Wow.
00:07:05I want to feel that in a song.
00:07:07Take your time with it and really speak to us through this song.
00:07:11A whole new world.
00:07:14Already, the way you just took your time with that last section you just did, that's what I'm talking about.
00:07:19For you.
00:07:21I look at being on American Idol as a whole new world.
00:07:25It's life-changing, so it makes me want to stay.
00:07:42I can show you the world.
00:07:45Take you wonder by wonder over, sideways and under, on a magic carpet ride.
00:07:59A whole new world.
00:08:03A whole new world.
00:08:05A new fantastic point of view.
00:08:09No one to tell us no or where to go.
00:08:15Let me share this whole new world with you.
00:08:24Unbelievable sight, indescribable feeling, soaring, tumbling, freewheeling, through an endless diamond sky.
00:08:40A whole new world, a whole new world, a hundred thousand things to see.
00:08:50I'm like a shooting star.
00:08:54I've come so far.
00:08:56I can't go back to where I used to be.
00:09:01Every turn of surprise, every turn of surprise, every moment of surprise, every moment of surprise, every moment of surprise,
00:09:12there's time to spare.
00:09:15Let me share this whole new world with you.
00:09:22A whole new world.
00:09:25A whole new world.
00:09:27That's where we'll be.
00:09:30That's where we'll be.
00:09:33A thrilling chase, a wondrous place, for you and me.
00:09:49Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:10:06What?
00:10:07What?
00:10:08The advice that Jennifer gave you, you took to heart.
00:10:14Your sermon was amazing.
00:10:17Well.
00:10:17And more importantly, it was so natural.
00:10:21You were just giving
00:10:23God's gift to us
00:10:24And it was so powerful
00:10:26The way you delivered
00:10:28Congratulations, Daniel
00:10:29Thank you so much
00:10:31Can I give it an amen?
00:10:34Daniel, I was so excited
00:10:36When I saw that you were going to sing this song tonight
00:10:38Because I knew you would crush it
00:10:40And I was right
00:10:41It felt like it was made for you
00:10:43And your voice
00:10:44And it just seemed so easy
00:10:45And just beautiful
00:10:47Thank you, thank you so much
00:10:49Thank you
00:10:52All I want to say is
00:10:54The doors of the church are now open
00:10:56There you go
00:10:57After that performance
00:10:59You ministered
00:11:00You owned it
00:11:02You sang from Yo Shindo
00:11:04Y'all may not know what that means
00:11:05But he does
00:11:06You know what I mean?
00:11:07My Shindo, it's there
00:11:08Yes
00:11:08And I felt it
00:11:09And you took every note that I gave you
00:11:12You did that, baby
00:11:13Thank you
00:11:13Thank you
00:11:14You did that, baby
00:11:20Can you teach me to sing, Jennifer, please?
00:11:25Daniel, I love your charisma
00:11:27Your style
00:11:28The way you navigate
00:11:29Everything you do is so well done
00:11:33I mean, you're

00:11:35We've seen you
00:11:35You've just got it all
00:11:36You've got it all hooked up
00:11:38And put together
00:11:39And you started at one level of that song
00:11:42And then you really started showing out at the end
00:11:44And that's what we've seen you do
00:11:46You're just amazing
00:11:47Great job
00:11:47Thank you

00:11:59Holy Ghost on the inside
00:12:00For anybody that wasn't following along
00:12:02Wanted to know what the Shindo is

00:13:25Good outfit for today
00:13:26Did I do all right?
00:13:27Yeah, it's freezing in here
00:13:28It is
00:13:29Yeah, yeah
00:13:29I would like to be cold
00:13:30You know why?
00:13:31Why?
00:13:31It's for the voice
00:13:32How do you do?
00:13:33Well, I don't usually have a problem with it
00:13:34But yesterday I was screaming on roller coasters
00:13:37So
00:13:37You gotta say your voice
00:13:44Okay
00:13:44Bitch, you'll have fun?
00:13:46Yeah, it was a good talk
00:13:46I brought my sister with me today
00:13:49I'm having so much fun
00:13:51We're in a good truck
00:13:53I'm super happy
00:13:54We're best friends
00:13:55Yes!
00:13:57Oh my god
00:13:59For Disney week
00:14:00I'm singing Remember Me
00:14:01From the movie Coco
00:14:02So I'm kind of dedicating the song
00:14:04To like my family
00:14:05I miss my family a lot
00:14:06Hopefully I remember the words
00:14:07Hold on
00:14:08Let me run through this in my head
00:14:09Right quick
00:14:11I knew the lyrics
00:14:14I was very confident about that
00:14:15And then
00:14:16Remember me
00:14:20Getting next to her
00:14:21And talking
00:14:22Freaked me out
00:14:23I was so nervous
00:14:27Hey, what's up?
00:14:28Dang it, I'm sorry
00:14:28That was embarrassing
00:14:30I love his voice
00:14:31I do need him to focus a little bit more
00:14:34Reel it in
00:14:35The world only knew
00:14:37The little amount of time
00:14:39We have to prepare for something
00:14:41Right, right
00:14:41But they don't
00:14:42And they're gonna judge you
00:14:43Just the same
00:14:44Don't worry
00:14:44Don't let me down
00:14:45Because I'm not worried at all
00:14:46I'm not sweating
00:14:47I see you
00:14:48I mean, I'm sweating a little bit
00:14:49Just because I'm nervous
00:14:50But not because of this
00:14:52I just want you to remember
00:14:54Your lyrics
00:14:54I will do it
00:14:56I'm gonna be looking at him
00:14:57Upside his head
00:14:58Like, Brayden

00:18:06Once again
00:18:18Remember me
00:18:37Brayden, you have
00:18:40You have such a great
00:18:43Like getting into character
00:18:45Kind of presence when you sing
00:18:47And it's really refreshing to watch
00:18:49It's not like you're just
00:18:50Out here singing a song
00:18:51And dazzling us with your voice
00:18:53It's you're getting into the character
00:18:56And telling a story
00:18:57And you're pulling us all in as you do it
00:18:59And it's pretty captivating to watch
00:19:01It's a cool talent that you have
00:19:07Brayden, I am so proud of you
00:19:09Yes, you remember the words
00:19:11I see that
00:19:11But what I love about you
00:19:13You're such
00:19:13You're a star
00:19:14I really think you are a star
00:19:16Isn't he a star, y'all?
00:19:19In many ways
00:19:20Like you captivated me
00:19:23Just sitting in your rehearsal alone
00:19:24And you
00:19:25Didn't you captivate you just now, guys?
00:19:27Watching him perform
00:19:28You brought us into you
00:19:30I felt like I was in the scene
00:19:32From the movie
00:19:33You know what I mean?
00:19:34And you did an excellent job
00:19:36And I hope to see you again
00:19:38Back next week
00:19:43Yeah, that was a very challenging
00:19:46Tricky song that didn't
00:19:48We've seen you come out
00:19:50And sing big moments
00:19:51But that thing was tender
00:19:52A lot of movements
00:19:54A lot of chords
00:19:55In this high-pressure scenario
00:19:57You did a great job
00:19:59Creating the mood
00:20:01And showing us things
00:20:03That you can do in the future
00:20:05I saw a lot in your future
00:20:06In that performance
00:20:10You know how hard it is
00:20:13To have the band behind you
00:20:15And your voice is all that's out there
00:20:17And for you to navigate that
00:20:19With your falsetto
00:20:20Going into your natural head voice
00:20:22I think you did so well on that
00:20:24By the way, that was very
00:20:25As Luke said, tricky
00:20:26But thank God you remember the lyrics
00:20:28So it was all right, huh?
00:20:30Yes, thank you, thank you
00:20:31Great, everyone
00:20:33Great job
00:20:35Backstage before the show
00:20:37I was talking with Jennifer

00:21:36With Lucas Leon's visit
00:21:38To Cars Land
00:21:40In Disney's
00:21:40California Adventure Park
00:21:42Here we go
00:21:45Today I'm here with my mom
00:21:46When I was real young
00:21:48She took me to Disney World
00:21:50So it's pretty cool
00:21:51To be able to go to Disneyland
00:21:52With her
00:21:53We're in Radiator Springs
00:21:55Tell me more about Cars
00:21:56We're about to go ride
00:21:57Radiator Springs Racers
00:21:59I'm a big Cars fan
00:22:00So this is awesome for me
00:22:02I think walking through
00:22:04Radiator Springs
00:22:04Is the perfect way to prepare
00:22:06To sing in life
00:22:07It's a highway
00:22:08Life is a highway
00:22:10Okay
00:22:10I wanna ride me all night long
00:22:14Mentor this week
00:22:15Is Jennifer Hudson
00:22:16It's awesome
00:22:17I respect her
00:22:18In every single way
00:22:19Life is a highway
00:22:19And why did you choose that song?
00:22:21Well it's Disney night
00:22:22And I'm a big car guy
00:22:23And the movie cars
00:22:25Grew up on it
00:22:26Watch it over and over
00:22:26This guy's my buddy right here
00:22:28Life is a highway
00:22:32You are such an old soul
00:22:33Oh thank you
00:22:34Thanks
00:22:35Like you have such great
00:22:36Instinct and presence
00:22:37In your music
00:22:38I got one note
00:22:39Yeah
00:22:40Look at the crowd
00:22:41Cause it feel like
00:22:42A way you could bring in the room
00:22:43Yeah
00:22:44You know what I mean?
00:22:45Yeah
00:22:45You feel that instinctively
00:22:47Right?
00:22:47Life is a
00:22:49Lucas needs to look at the crowd
00:22:50So I gave him an assignment
00:22:51I'm gonna sit there
00:22:52And I sat in the judge's chair
00:22:54Yes I did
00:22:55That's what it looked like back here
00:22:57Oh my god
00:22:58I'm on American Idol
00:23:02I want to see you over here
00:23:05Bring me your eyes
00:23:08I got an idea
00:23:09Because you are holding the instrument
00:23:11I think it'll be good to put it in your vocal
00:23:13Where you're like
00:23:13Everybody sing
00:23:15Life is a
00:23:16And fall back into that hook
00:23:18He got the vocals
00:23:19He got the instrument
00:23:21He has to have the presence
00:23:23I'm gonna be cheering you on
00:23:24I'm proud of you already
00:23:25Young man
00:23:26I need Lucas to own the stage
00:23:29Like it is a highway
00:23:36We won't hesitate
00:23:39To break down the garden gate
00:23:41There's not much time left today
00:23:45Yeah
00:23:55Life's like the road that you traveled on
00:23:58Just one day here and the next day gone
00:24:01Sometimes you bend
00:24:02Sometimes you stare
00:24:03Sometimes you turn you back to the wind
00:24:05There's a world outside
00:24:07Every darkened door
00:24:08The blues won't haunt you anymore
00:24:10Whether brave or free
00:24:12And the love of soul
00:24:13Come ride with me to the distant shore
00:24:15We won't hesitate
00:24:17To break down the garden gate
00:24:20There's not much time left today
00:24:23Yeah
00:24:25Life is a highway
00:24:27I want to drive you all night long
00:24:32If you're going my way
00:24:37I want to drive you all night long
00:24:41All night long
00:24:45There was a distance between you and I
00:24:51And to you and I
00:24:56Misunderstanding once and now

00:25:05Come on

00:25:43I want to drive you all night long
00:25:43I want to drive you all night long
00:26:04Wow
00:26:05Wow
00:26:05Look at you Lucas
00:26:07You took every note
00:26:09You on the stage
00:26:10You turned the stage
00:26:12This moment into your concert
00:26:14I felt like I was at your concert
00:26:16Thank you so much
00:26:18You are well on your way young man
00:26:20Continue to just trust your instinct
00:26:23Because you have an instinct
00:26:25That you couldn't even pay for
00:26:26Okay
00:26:26That's what's going to get you further
00:26:28On that highway
00:26:29That you are already on
00:26:30And you took us
00:26:31Right with you
00:26:32Denny out
00:26:36Yeah I love
00:26:38At such a young age
00:26:39You're just comfortable
00:26:41In all these moments
00:26:42You're so watchable
00:26:43To watch
00:26:44You don't do anything
00:26:46To make us go
00:26:48It's always like
00:26:49It's always like
00:26:50Oh my gosh
00:26:51Look at him
00:26:51He's got an electric
00:26:52He's got an electric this week
00:26:54Last week was a piano
00:26:55And you did chords last week
00:26:57So just keep having your confidence
00:26:59And like I said
00:27:01Stay on this highway
00:27:02You're tearing it up
00:27:03Yeah
00:27:04Yeah
00:27:05Yeah
00:27:05One thing
00:27:06The one thing I want to tell you
00:27:09Is that we come to the show
00:27:10As artists
00:27:11See what the crowd's going to do
00:27:13They come to the show
00:27:14To see what we're going to do
00:27:16Give them everything
00:27:17You know how to do
00:27:19Or in other words
00:27:19Grab that microphone
00:27:21Walk across the stage
00:27:22Give me some attitude
00:27:23Give me more attitude
00:27:24Yes sir
00:27:24And you'll be there
00:27:27I mean
00:27:29Ditto to everything
00:27:30They just said
00:27:30But that
00:27:31That was joyful
00:27:32You were up there
00:27:33You were having fun
00:27:34And I feel like
00:27:35You weren't in your head
00:27:36About it
00:27:36And it was just entertaining
00:27:38It was fun to watch
00:27:39It was
00:27:39It was fun
00:27:40It was good
00:27:41Yeah
00:27:42Thank you
00:27:44Taking control of the stage
00:27:45Nice work
00:27:47So
00:27:48Compare the 18 year old
00:27:50Luke Bryan
00:27:51To Lucas here
00:27:53He's doing a little better
00:27:54Than all this
00:27:55This Lucas
00:27:55But
00:27:56Not sure
00:27:57Yeah well the thing is
00:27:58I mean just to have the confidence
00:28:00I remember when I moved to Nashville
00:28:01And playing these big rooms
00:28:03I mean I would not look confident
00:28:05So the fact that he's able to just
00:28:07Be cool
00:28:08Chill
00:28:08Calm
00:28:09And collective
00:28:09And all that
00:28:10Is really impressive
00:28:11Instinct and confidence
00:28:13Well done
00:28:13Great performance

00:29:19Perfect her performance
00:29:21Oh yeah
00:29:23The Disney song
00:29:24That I'm singing this week
00:29:25Is almost there
00:29:26From Princess and the Frog
00:29:27Ain't got time
00:29:29For messing around
00:29:31And it's not my style
00:29:33What I love about this song
00:29:34Is I feel like I can connect
00:29:35To the story
00:29:36But I am nervous
00:29:37About the choreography
00:29:37Side of the song
00:29:38Two weeks ago
00:29:39I had all this choreography
00:29:40Planned for Heads Carolina
00:29:41Tales California
00:29:42And I went out there
00:29:43And I froze like a statue
00:29:44And then as soon as I got online
00:29:46Everyone's like
00:29:46Her voice is okay
00:29:47But she sucks at performing
00:29:48And I was like
00:29:49Yes she does
00:29:50Like they're not wrong
00:29:51This week is my redemption moment
00:29:52Look out boys
00:29:54I'm coming through
00:29:55And I'm almost there
00:29:57Come on girls
00:29:58I hate this
00:30:03I was extremely embarrassed
00:30:05While I was singing that time
00:30:05My whole body was hot
00:30:07Oh lord have mercy
00:30:08Like I was like
00:30:09I have to stop
00:30:10You have three beautiful children
00:30:12I do
00:30:12Well have you ever practiced
00:30:13With them
00:30:14I dance with them
00:30:15You dance with them
00:30:15Yeah
00:30:16Okay well what if this room
00:30:17Was your children
00:30:18Imagine them there
00:30:19Bringing me back home
00:30:20Is super helpful
00:30:21Just because it reminds me
00:30:22Like that's my comfort zone
00:30:24Acting like I'm just singing
00:30:25To my babies
00:30:25And just carrying on
00:30:26And that will change
00:30:27Everything for me
00:30:28Oh I see Mickey
00:30:29I think that having a day
00:30:30To get to go spend at Disneyland
00:30:31Was so nice
00:30:33And just to watch
00:30:34Their faces light up
00:30:35It's gonna help me
00:30:35Get into character
00:30:36Okay go ahead
00:30:37I'm you
00:30:38Jennifer took on the character
00:30:39And I'm almost there
00:30:42Look at that
00:30:42I was like
00:30:43Okay this is exactly
00:30:45What the point is
00:30:46Watching her
00:30:46I was just like
00:30:47I gotta bring it
00:30:47People down here
00:30:48Think I'm crazy
00:30:51But I don't care
00:30:53You see what I'm saying
00:30:54Moving on the stage
00:30:56Is like outside
00:30:57Of Hannah's element
00:30:58But this is it
00:30:59Doesn't get any bigger
00:31:00Than this
00:31:00It's time to perform
00:31:01I know she can do this
00:31:03No pressure
00:31:04But have fun
00:31:05And embrace your moment
00:31:06You look like
00:31:07A Disney princess
00:31:07Doesn't she like
00:31:08A Disney princess
00:31:13Mama
00:31:13I don't have time for dancing
00:31:17That's just gonna have to wait a while
00:31:21Ain't got time for messing around
00:31:25And it's not my style
00:31:29This old town can slow you down
00:31:33People taking the easy way
00:31:39But I know exactly where I'm going
00:31:43Getting closer and closer every day
00:31:46And I'm almost there
00:31:50I'm almost there
00:31:52People down here think I'm crazy
00:31:56But I don't care
00:31:59But I don't care
00:32:00Trials and tribulations
00:32:02I've had my share
00:32:05But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now
00:32:09Cause I'm almost there
00:32:12I remember daddy told me
00:32:15Fairy tales can come true
00:32:20You've gotta make them happen
00:32:22It all depends on you
00:32:25So I work real hard
00:32:27Each and every day
00:32:29And things for sure
00:32:30Are going my way
00:32:32Just doing what I do
00:32:35Look out boys
00:32:38I'm coming through
00:32:39And I'm almost there
00:32:44I'm almost there
00:32:47People gonna come here
00:32:50From everywhere
00:32:51And I'm almost there
00:32:56There's been trials
00:32:58And tribulations
00:33:00You know I've had my share
00:33:06Climbed a mountain
00:33:08And I crossed a river
00:33:10And I'm almost there
00:33:12I'm almost there
00:33:16Oh I'm almost there
00:33:22Yeah
00:33:29Ooh
00:33:47Well we still have like streamers still happening
00:33:51There we go.
00:33:51That one went down.
00:33:52There you go.
00:33:53I loved it.
00:33:54I loved it.
00:33:55It made my heart smile.
00:33:57It made me smile watching you grow into, like,
00:34:02you kind of started with this Reba McIntyre little attitude thing,
00:34:06and then you grew into your character,
00:34:09and you didn't overdo anything.
00:34:11You did it perfectly like your personality that we know you is,
00:34:17and I loved it.
00:34:18One of my favorite performances you've ever done.
00:34:21Very good.
00:34:24If I have to say ditto, ditto, that's a ditto.
00:34:28But I'm going to give you a little hint about something.
00:34:30I learned this a long time ago.
00:34:32What you do is whatever you're going to wear on stage, shoes,
00:34:36whatever shoes you're going to wear on stage, right,
00:34:40make sure you wear them in rehearsal so that your shoes don't scare you to death
00:34:46when you start moving.
00:34:47That's true.
00:34:47Otherwise, I saw you concentrating on how much can I dare on that step.
00:34:52Otherwise, your performance was amazing.
00:34:56I've said this before, and I will say it again.
00:34:59I mean, this is another way that you remind me of myself,
00:35:02because I got dragged when I was on this show for not moving enough.
00:35:07And honestly, it was just I had never done anything like this before,
00:35:12and now I can't not move.
00:35:14Like, I sing with my entire body.
00:35:16So I feel like you are on your way.
00:35:18Just keep taking those steps.
00:35:20Keep getting more comfortable in the space that you're in.
00:35:23You were in character.
00:35:24You sounded beautiful.
00:35:25You look gorgeous.
00:35:26You should be very proud.
00:35:33Everything they just said and more.
00:35:35You look absolutely beautiful, first of all.
00:35:37And I love how you were natural and true to yourself in this moment.
00:35:43And I know that's not your cup of tea to be able to perform and sing,
00:35:47but you stood there and you sang that song,
00:35:49and you gave us a little bit here and there.
00:35:51As Karen said, you're on your way.
00:35:53You're almost there.
00:35:55Yes, you're on your way.
00:35:56You keep on going.
00:35:58You tip your way to it, and before you know it,
00:36:00you will be right where you want to be, okay?
00:36:02Thank you so much.
00:36:07So was it more comfortable moving around after rehearsal
00:36:10and after working with Jennifer?
00:36:12Listen, if I could shed the shoes,
00:36:14you could have got down.
00:36:15There you go.
00:36:16It was funny watching Jennifer while you were performing
00:36:19because it was like she was trying to steer you with her body.
00:36:22She was leaning left and leaning right,

00:39:16You've got a friend in me.
00:39:21You've got a friend in me.
00:39:25Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am.
00:39:30Bigger and stronger too.
00:39:33But none of them will ever love you the way I do.
00:39:39It's me and you, boy.
00:39:41And as the years go by,

00:40:29And now, Woody, Buzz, and Jesse are back on an all-new adventure
00:40:33where they face their biggest challenge yet this summer.
00:40:37It's Toys vs. Tech in Disney and Pixar's new film,
00:40:40Toy Story 5, coming to theaters June 19.
00:40:45And we are coming back with Chris and a smash hit from Fosie.
00:40:50Stay right there.
00:40:51Be right back.
00:40:58All that time, I've been alone in my tower.
00:41:02You were just haunting your powers.
00:41:04Now I can see it all.
00:41:09You're locked live on American Idol.
00:41:12We've got some huge news to share.
00:41:14Are you ready for it?
00:41:17Next week, the top seven will officially enter their Taylor Swift era.
00:41:22They'll be taking the stage, celebrating the music of Taylor Swift
00:41:26with iconic songs from Taylor's acclaimed catalog
00:41:28from her early country roots to her global pop anthems
00:41:33and all the Grammy-winning songs in between.
00:41:36It's going down live right here next Monday.
00:41:40So do not miss that.
00:41:42Excited.
00:41:44Now, here's how Chris channeled his inner Elsa.
00:41:48Watch this.
00:41:50Today, I'm here with my sister, Laura, at Disneyland.
00:41:52Come on for Chris!
00:41:53Thank you, guys!
00:41:55Is that where we're going?
00:41:56We've got to climb to the top of Adventureland Treehouse together.
00:41:58It's so nice.
00:42:00I love it.
00:42:00I want to live here!
00:42:02For this to be, like, a fun thing that we get to share,
00:42:05it's really special.
00:42:07I'm very excited to go on Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
00:42:09We're going to the bayou.
00:42:11I hope we're not going to get wet.
00:42:14Oh, baby!
00:42:15Well, we probably will get wet.
00:42:16That's moist.
00:42:18It was really cool to be able to go with my sister.
00:42:21We have this picture of us at Disney World.
00:42:24And we're just little kids.
00:42:26We're adults, but we can be kids for the day, you know?
00:42:30Let it go!
00:42:31Let it go!
00:42:33Hey!
00:42:33This week, I'm going to be singing Let It Go from Frozen.
00:42:37Chris blew me completely away.
00:42:39To take a big Disney ballad and then bring rock and country to it?
00:42:44Let it go!
00:42:45Oh!
00:42:46First of all, I love your voice on this song.
00:42:49Now, performance-wise?
00:42:50Oh, you know, he's figuring it out.
00:42:52It would be really fascinating to see you work the stage.
00:42:56I've never performed.
00:42:57And when I do, I'm sitting behind a guitar on a stool.
00:42:59I don't really know how to work a stage.
00:43:01Turn away and slam the door!
00:43:04Slam the door!
00:43:04It needs to be intentional when he's making the gesture, when he's making the step.
00:43:09Okay.
00:43:09I didn't believe some of that, and I want to believe it.
00:43:12I didn't either, don't worry.
00:43:12You just said...
00:43:12I feel naked up here.
00:43:14I'm in my underwear, like...
00:43:15Yes.
00:43:16If you're uncomfortable, the audience is going to be uncomfortable.
00:43:18Pour it out.
00:43:19Put it in a...
00:43:20No!
00:43:21I want to let it go!
00:43:24Own it.
00:43:24Almost like you Hercules.
00:43:26A Tarzan or somebody.
00:43:28That's Disney.
00:43:29That's you.
00:43:30It's a very big song, and we have to find the performance element in it.
00:43:34Which is why he has a lot of work to do.
00:43:42Snow glows white on the mountain eye
00:43:46Makes everything seem small
00:43:49The fears that once controlled me
00:43:52Can't get to me at all
00:43:56The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
00:44:03Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
00:44:10It's time to see what I can do
00:44:13To test the limits and pray
00:44:16Do no right, no wrong, no one for me
00:44:22I'm free
00:44:23I'm free
00:44:25Let it go
00:44:27Let it go
00:44:29Can't hold it back anymore
00:44:31Let it go
00:44:34Let it go
00:44:35Turn away and slam the door
00:44:39I don't care
00:44:41I don't care what they're going to say
00:44:45Let the storm wedge on
00:44:52My power flurries through the air into the ground
00:44:59My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
00:45:06And one thought crystallizes like an icy bled
00:45:12And one thought crystallizes like an icy bled
00:45:13And one thought crystallizes like an icy bled
00:45:13I'm never going back
00:45:16The past is in the past
00:45:19Let it go
00:45:22Let it go
00:45:23Let it go
00:45:25Let it go
00:45:25Can't hold it back anymore
00:45:26Let it go
00:45:28Let it go
00:45:30Let it go
00:45:31Turn away and slam the door
00:45:34I don't care what they're going to say
00:45:41Let the storm wedge on
00:45:43Let the storm wedge on
00:45:45Let the storm wedge on

01:00:07Premieres this summer
01:00:08On Disney Channel
01:00:09And Disney Plus
01:00:10Don't miss it
01:00:11Now he's trying to climb
01:00:13Into the top seven
01:00:14With a Hannah Montana pick
01:00:16It is Brooks
01:00:17Let's go Brooks
01:00:22My sister flew in
01:00:24So she could come
01:00:25To Disneyland with me
01:00:26Let's go
01:00:28I grew up watching
01:00:29My sister do musical theater
01:00:31Very confident on a stage
01:00:32And once singing came to me
01:00:34A couple years ago
01:00:35She definitely pushed me
01:00:36To be more out there with it
01:00:38To be on American Idol
01:00:39It's everything is surreal
01:00:41Can I take a picture with you?
01:00:43I never thought anything
01:00:44Would lead to people
01:00:45Knowing me just by my face
01:00:47And it's really nice
01:00:48Having people notice you
01:00:49For you
01:00:51Brooks in the house
01:00:53How much experience
01:00:54Have you had prior to this?
01:00:55Just American Idol
01:00:56What do you mean?
01:00:57My first performance
01:00:58Was my audition
01:00:59You're brave
01:00:59I'm still working
01:01:00On the confidence part
01:01:01What are you thinking?
01:01:03The climb
01:01:03The climb?
01:01:04I relate to the climb
01:01:06It's the stage I am in life
01:01:07Just progressing
01:01:08Being able to overcome
01:01:09Confidence issues
01:01:11Struggles I'm facing
01:01:13This is sitting
01:01:14The chances I'm taking
01:01:15Y'all feel that?
01:01:17Hey
01:01:17He seems very introverted
01:01:19But I think it works
01:01:20I think he needs to just
01:01:21Allow his voice to be heard
01:01:23It's the climb
01:01:26I almost want like
01:01:27One more note
01:01:28Cause you're climbing
01:01:29So why not climb vocally?
01:01:31It's the climb
01:01:32It's the climb
01:01:35It's the climb
01:01:36Even that just
01:01:36That one extra
01:01:37Little nuance
01:01:37It's the climb
01:01:43Yeah
01:01:49It's the climb
01:01:52You better sing
01:01:55You sat there
01:01:55With that swag
01:01:57I saw all the confidence
01:01:58In the world
01:02:03I'm gonna have my shoe ready
01:02:05You don't even know
01:02:06What that means
01:02:17I can almost see it
01:02:20That dream I'm dreaming
01:02:23But there's a voice inside my head
01:02:26Said you'll never reach it
01:02:29Every step I'm taking
01:02:32Every move I make feels
01:02:35Lost with no direction
01:02:37My faith is shaking
01:02:40And I gotta keep trying
01:02:46Gotta keep my head held high
01:02:52There's always gonna be
01:02:54Another mountain
01:03:05Ain't about how fast I get there
01:03:08Ain't about what's waiting
01:03:10On the other side
01:03:16The struggles I'm facing
01:03:19The chances I'm taking
01:03:22Sometimes might knock me down
01:03:25But no I'm not breaking
01:03:28I may not know it
01:03:31These are the moments
01:03:34That I'm gonna remember most
01:03:37Just gotta keep going
01:03:40And I gotta keep trying
01:03:46Just keep pushing on
01:03:52There's always gonna be
01:03:54Another mountain
01:03:55Always gonna wanna make it move
01:03:58There's always gonna be
01:04:00Another battle
01:04:01Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
01:04:04Ain't about how fast I get there
01:04:07Ain't about what's waiting
01:04:09On the other side
01:04:14It's the climb
01:04:20It's the climb
01:04:27It's the climb
01:04:45Brooks, you have such a special sound
01:04:48That does not come around every day
01:04:51Right, guys?
01:04:52Absolutely
01:04:53And you're brave
01:04:54You're brave to be here

01:04:57And said I'm going on
01:04:57American Idol
01:04:58Who does that?

01:05:02You deserve to be here
01:05:06Yeah, Brooks
01:05:08Keep digging

01:05:10May have run away from you
01:05:11A little bit
01:05:12Just a couple times
01:05:13But just keep figuring this out
01:05:15As you go
01:05:16Because I love your voice
01:05:17Just keep chasing this
01:05:18Thank you
01:05:19All right
01:05:23Everybody else has a job
01:05:25Of figuring out how to dance
01:05:26How to move

01:08:03Sweet time at Disneyland Park
01:08:05With its mother, Denise
01:08:08We're going so much faster
01:08:09Than everybody else
01:08:13My mom is my best friend
01:08:15And so having her here with me at Disneyland
01:08:17It means the most
01:08:19Love you
01:08:19Love you too
01:08:21My mom was a single mom
01:08:22And I didn't know that we struggled
01:08:24I didn't know that the reason why she was always working
01:08:26Is to provide
01:08:27And I'm so grateful for how she raised me
01:08:34My mom, I hope she sees
01:08:35Girl, I see all that you've done
01:08:37Take a break
01:08:38Let me do it now
01:08:39Let me take care of you
01:08:41Just for the day
01:08:43Probably the best week I've had in my life ever
01:08:45Going to Disneyland to JenniferHudson
01:08:47It's me, Jennifer
01:08:48I know who you are, girl
01:08:50Jennifer, wait a second
01:08:51Give me just a moment
01:08:51Oh, okay
01:08:52This is the JenniferHudson we're talking about
01:08:54The voice of it all
01:08:55Hey, Jennifer, we can do a hug
01:08:57I can give you a hug
01:08:57Oh my goodness
01:08:58Okay, okay
01:08:59Back in 2018
01:09:01JenniferHudson commented on one of my singing videos
01:09:03This meant so much to me
01:09:05I look up to her so much
01:09:07The Disney song I'm singing this week is
01:09:09Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas
01:09:11Have you ever heard the wolf cry?
01:09:15Jordan has a beautiful voice
01:09:18We would call it an anointing
01:09:20Ball cut while he grinned
01:09:23You better
01:09:24I'm sorry, I hate people too
01:09:26I couldn't get the shoe off
01:09:29The shoe baby next
01:09:29I'm trying not to look at you
01:09:30Oh, Lord, I'm sorry
01:09:32Y'all know she's a tourist with throwing shoes
01:09:34That's what you do when you see somebody that's singing
01:09:36That's a compliment and I'll take it
01:09:39I got one thing, though
01:09:40Okay
01:09:41Right before the key change
01:09:42Okay, yeah
01:09:42I feel like you should almost make that the big moment
01:09:45Okay
01:09:46Where you can elongate a note
01:09:47Okay
01:09:50Right there
01:09:51No
01:09:52Kind of thing
01:09:54Never
01:09:56No
01:10:00Gotta get a shoe
01:10:12You think the only people
01:10:16Who are the people
01:10:18Who are the people
01:10:21Who look and think like you
01:10:26But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
01:10:31You learn things you never knew
01:10:35You never knew
01:10:37Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
01:10:45Or answer grinning Bobcat why he grinned
01:10:50Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
01:10:57Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
01:11:04Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
01:11:13How high does the sycamore grow
01:11:17If you cut it down
01:11:20If you cut it down
01:11:21If you cut it down
01:11:22If you cut it down
01:11:22Then you'll never know
01:11:29Can you
01:11:31Can you
01:11:31Can you
01:11:32Can you
01:11:34Never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
01:11:40For all the way white or covered skin
01:11:45We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
01:11:52You can own the earth and steal
01:11:57All you own is earth and tear
01:12:03You can paint with all the colors
01:12:16Of the wind
01:12:25You can paint with all the voices of the animals
01:12:43You can paint with all those voices
01:13:00I'm not saying anything.
01:13:01Listen to them.
01:13:06All right.
01:13:07All right.
01:13:07So, so, real short, real sweet.
01:13:11Southern, Southern, we are saying it.
01:13:13Shut your mouth.
01:13:16I hear you.
01:13:17I hear you.
01:13:18Jordan, that was perfect.
01:13:22Thank you so much.
01:13:28I ain't got nothing to say.
01:13:29I threw the shoes.
01:13:30Ain't nothing else to be said.
01:13:31Both of them.
01:13:32How many did you bring tonight to the show, Jennifer?
01:13:36I was looking at Carrie like, girl, could I borrow your shoes?
01:13:39These are for you.
01:13:42Anything to add?
01:13:44He got my shoes in his hand.
01:13:46Thank you, Jennifer.
01:13:48Well done.
01:13:49Magical.
01:13:49He needs your votes to make it to next week.
01:13:51You can vote up to 10 times for our finalists right now online via text or across our socials,
01:13:55on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
01:13:58Once more, Jordan.
01:14:01We'll celebrate.
01:14:02You got him.
01:14:03Let's do it.
01:14:06Coming up, an emotional Hannah Montana ballad from Kindle.
01:14:12Don't go anywhere.
01:14:14We will be right back.
01:14:25Back with you live on American Idol.
01:14:27We have another incredible guest judge joining the panel next week.
01:14:30The always hilarious Nikki Glaser will take a seat at the desk while the finalists pay homage
01:14:35to the artists and music of California.
01:14:39Now, our final performance of the night, and it's coming from Kindle.
01:14:45My husband and I are both very much adrenaline junkies, so to be able to come to Disneyland
01:14:50and ride the roller coasters and just get a break has been awesome.
01:14:54We're having a blast.
01:14:55We've been married for six months.
01:14:56We are newlyweds.
01:14:58This has been a very incredible journey to watch you on.
01:15:02There's nothing more beautiful than you singing your heart out.
01:15:05Good to meet you.
01:15:06Nice to meet you.
01:15:07So inspired by you.
01:15:08Tell me a bit about your story.
01:15:09How has this experience been for you?
01:15:11Yeah.
01:15:13I lost my voice last week, and then just immediately thought in my head.
01:15:18The beginning stages, there was so much confidence in what I did, and I feel like as soon as life
01:15:23started, sorry, I'm like getting emotional already.
01:15:26Take your time.
01:15:27It's your moment.
01:15:29Sorry.
01:15:29Why are you getting emotional?
01:15:30I can't even make it through.
01:15:32Sorry.
01:15:34I understand.
01:15:35It's an emotional journey.
01:15:37Yes.
01:15:37I went through a world we all did.
01:15:40Last week was a bummer and did take a toll on my confidence.
01:15:44You dream about moments like this.
01:15:47This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
01:15:49That's why this song just hits home so hard for me.
01:15:55I'm singing Butterfly Fly Away from Hannah Montana.
01:15:58This song, it speaks to the journey that I've been on.
01:16:01Hold on tight.
01:16:04I was not expecting to cry like this on this stage today.
01:16:07It's human.
01:16:08Yeah.
01:16:09It's okay to be emotional, but you need to be able to straddle, balance out a bit.
01:16:13Yeah.
01:16:14But I don't want you to lose it.
01:16:16Kendall has hearts.
01:16:17But if she gets too emotional, she's going to lose a huge part of her song.
01:16:21It's a lot on the line.
01:16:22So I need her to be focused, balanced, and pull out the tricks.
01:16:34You talked to me and turned out the light
01:16:38Kept me safe and sound at night
01:16:42Little girls depend on things like that
01:16:48You brushed my teeth and combed my hair
01:16:53Had to drive me everywhere
01:16:56You were always there when I looked back
01:17:03You had to do it all alone
01:17:07Make a living, make a home
01:17:11Must have been as hard as it could be
01:17:17And when I couldn't sleep at night
01:17:21Scared things wouldn't turn out bright
01:17:25You would hold my hand and sing to me
01:17:34Caterpillar in the tree
01:17:37How you wonder who you'll be
01:17:41Can't go far, but you can always dream
01:17:48Wish you may and wish you might
01:17:52Don't you worry, hold on tight
01:17:55I promise you that there will come a day
01:18:02Butterfly, fly away
01:18:08Butterfly, butterfly
01:18:11Caterpillar in the tree
01:18:14How you wonder who you'll be
01:18:18Can't go far, but you can always dream
01:18:25Wish you may and wish you might
01:18:29Don't you worry, hold on tight
01:18:33Promise you that there will come a day
01:18:39Butterfly, fly away
01:18:59All right
01:19:00That was the way to step into your light
01:19:05Remember one thing
01:19:07You were born enough
01:19:09That was fabulous
01:19:10Thank you
01:19:11Kendall, I think
01:19:13I think
01:19:15Feeling like
01:19:16You felt last week
01:19:18Is very necessary

01:21:23For mentoring the finalist
01:21:24Sitting on the panel tonight
01:21:26Tomorrow is the 22 year anniversary
01:21:29Of her shocking elimination
01:21:31Just the week before
01:21:32She had the highest number of votes
01:21:34And then the very next week
01:21:36She was headed home
01:21:38Thinking back to that
01:21:39What advice do you have for the two
01:21:41Leaving us tonight, Jennifer?
01:21:43You know, this is the start of your career
01:21:45When you leave here
01:21:46Your talent goes with you
01:21:48That's what I told myself
01:21:49And as long as I keep singing
01:21:51I'm going to sing my way to it
01:21:52So you do the same
01:21:53And you get to say
01:21:55When your dream starts
01:21:57And when it ends
01:21:58Well said
