00:39:12And you, the hardest thing to do
00:39:14When you're singing other people's songs

00:42:03Here's how our sponsor
00:42:04Visit California
00:42:05And the top seven
00:42:06Are inspired by the people
00:42:07The places
00:42:08And the unmistakable energy
00:42:11Of California
00:42:15California is beautiful
00:42:16The deserts
00:42:17The city
00:42:18The beach
00:42:19It's been very inspiring
00:42:22Getting to go outside
00:42:23Getting to go outside this week
00:42:24And go on a little hike
00:42:25Was so nice
00:42:26The trees were massive
00:42:27I've never seen a tree
00:42:27That big in my entire life
00:42:31Yesterday it snowed back home
00:42:32And here I'm in the sun
00:42:34In 80 degree weather
00:42:35I don't want to be here
00:42:36I don't want to be anywhere
00:42:36But here right now
00:42:37To see all the colors
00:42:38And the food
00:42:39From little Tokyo
00:42:40To the Venice canals
00:42:41To the beach
00:42:42It is just every single thing
00:42:43That you dream of
00:42:45It's inspirational
00:42:46Just seeing how many people
00:42:47Are out here chasing dreams
00:42:50The Walk of Fame
00:42:51Is a big inspiration
00:42:52Just looking at the stars
00:42:54I was just smiling
00:42:55Because I'm like
00:42:55Man maybe one day
00:42:56God would allow me
00:42:57To be on one of these stars
00:42:59Hollywood
00:43:02California is definitely
00:43:03The ultimate playground
00:43:03It's just having
00:43:04A whole bunch of fun
00:43:05And just jumping around

00:44:52I've had you so many times
00:44:56But somehow
00:44:57I want more

00:45:05Out on your corner
00:45:07In the pouring rain
00:45:10Look for the girl
00:45:12With the broken smile
00:45:15Ask her if she wants to stay a while
00:45:18And she will be loved

00:46:28to fit your voice.
00:46:30Absolutely.
00:46:30And whatever we told you the last round,
00:46:33there were none of those little timing deals.
00:46:36It was locked in.
00:46:37It was perfect.
00:46:38It was so Brooks.
00:46:40It was what I hoped it would be.
00:46:43Yeah, I don't need to talk much.
00:46:46Just say ditto, ditto, ditto.
00:46:48But truthfully, you sat in that perfect song, man.
00:46:53The perfect song for you, and you did such a great job.
00:46:55Thank you so much.
00:46:57Yeah, I don't know.
00:46:58We're just throwing compliments at you at this point.
00:47:01I mean, your obviously voice is just so magical
00:47:04from the first note you sang.
00:47:06It was like, ah, like, here we are.
00:47:08This is great.
00:47:09And just carried it through the entire song.
00:47:13It was a very solid performance.
00:47:16It was so impressive how you took the notes
00:47:20from the first song and applied it instantly
00:47:22to that performance just then.
00:47:25It was so easy to watch you,
00:47:26and you can tell you're in love
00:47:27from the way you sang that song.
00:47:29I felt it.
00:47:32Brooks, everyone.

00:48:17This week, I'm singing I Can't Make You Love Me

00:48:20I love the emotion behind the song.
00:48:22Bonnie Raitt is from California,
00:48:23and I think California will always
00:48:25have a special place in my heart.
00:48:26Everything creative is here.
00:48:27This is the place to express yourself.
00:48:29My goal tonight is reach California energy.
00:48:32That's what you want to do.
00:48:33That's Peak for me.
00:48:42Turn down the lights.
00:48:46Turn down the bed.
00:48:48Turn down these voices inside my head.
00:48:56Lay down with me.
00:49:01Tell me no lies.
00:49:05Just hold me close.
00:49:09Don't patronize.
00:49:11Don't paint your eyes.
00:49:17I can't make you love me if you don't.
00:49:24And you can make your heart feel something it won't.
00:49:33Here in the dark, in these five hours.
00:49:41I will lay down my heart and feel the power.
00:49:48But you won't.
00:49:52But you won't.
00:49:53No, you won't.
00:49:56Cause I can't make you love me.
00:50:03Oh, if you don't.
00:50:09See, I can't make you love me.
00:50:12Oh, if you don't.
00:50:18Oh, if you don't.
00:50:34Oh, if you don't.
00:50:55I want you to understand something.
00:50:57I have heard that song a long time.
00:51:03You got me crying on that song that I've heard a long time.
00:51:07And I want to let you know your delivery was right on point.
00:51:16Let the congregation say, Amen.
00:51:23Jordan, I don't care what you sing.
00:51:26Every time you open your mouth, I hear the Holy Spirit.
00:51:31It doesn't matter what genre or what it is.
00:51:34And it's not just your voice, which is truly blessed.
00:51:38You have one of the best voices I've ever heard in my entire life.
00:51:42But the way you, like, the maturity that you have in the way that you deliver it, it's never too
00:51:52much.
00:51:52Your soft parts are soft and intimate and beautiful.
00:51:55Your big notes are just soaring and gorgeous and powerful.
00:51:59It is all just, I don't know how you do it.
00:52:02But thank you for doing it.
00:52:04Thank you so much.
00:52:06Wow.
00:52:08There were moments during that where I had to, like, close my eyes and just get, like, showered in the
00:52:15music.
00:52:15I've never had that experience before with music.
00:52:18I really feel like something just happened to me.
00:52:20No, you're right.
00:52:20You're right.
00:52:20But I had to close my eyes and just, I couldn't process it all.
00:52:24But then watching you two, that performance, the way that you had that one moment where you caught the note
00:52:27in the air, you were just, you could have been on mute and I could have known exactly what you
00:52:31were singing about.
00:52:32And that was so special.
00:52:33But I'm glad you weren't.
00:52:34That was awesome.
00:52:35Thank you so much.
00:52:40Wow.
00:52:41The whole time I was singing, I have to sing in a little bit to follow that.
00:52:48Beautiful.
00:52:49Beautiful.
00:52:49There were notes that you hit that, like, corrected my spine curvature or something.
00:52:55I don't know.
00:52:56Glory to God.
00:52:58Thank you, guys.
00:52:59So, that's what you want to hear when you come out here at night.
00:53:03Oh, yeah.
00:53:04There was pressure you were feeling performing that song.
00:53:07Tell me about it.
00:53:08Yeah, man.
00:53:08This felt like the most vulnerable I've been all season.
00:53:12This song means a lot to me.
00:53:13Gary did this song years ago.
00:53:15She did a wonderful job with it.
00:53:16But, yeah, I just wanted to show the world my heart with this one, for real.
00:53:20You took it to another place.
00:53:23If Jordan made you love him, vote for him right now.
00:53:27You got five ways to vote, so use them all if you want him to stay in.
00:53:30It's 10 votes per finalist, per voting platform.

00:58:18I mean, the growth of this group from where y'all were till now is just hard for me to
00:58:24wrap my brain around.
00:58:25And that was just, I mean, Jordan comes out and then you come out and you guys are sparring.
00:58:30And it's just amazing watching you guys just get creative.
00:58:33Those notes at the end, I hadn't heard you do that all year.

01:08:14When you were singing

01:09:25With songs inspired by artists
01:09:27From the Golden State
01:09:28Taking the stage now
01:09:29With a chart-topping
01:09:30Grammy-winning song
01:09:31By Merle Haggard
01:09:33Here's Hannah Harper
01:09:34Yeah
01:09:36The song that I'm singing this week
01:09:38Is That's The Way Love Goes
01:09:39By Merle Haggard
01:09:39And so I felt that it was
01:09:40A very fitting song
01:09:41For this week
01:09:42Because it honors
01:09:43My relationship
01:09:44With my husband
01:09:44He's out here
01:09:45Keeping the fort down
01:09:47While I'm here
01:09:47And it's been hard
01:09:49I'm so thankful
01:09:50To have someone
01:09:51To lean against
01:09:51And know that I'm not
01:09:52Doing it all by myself
01:10:01That's the way love goes
01:10:06Babe
01:10:06That's the music
01:10:09God made
01:10:11For all the world to sing
01:10:16That's the way love goes
01:10:27I've been throwing horseshoes
01:10:32Over my left shoulder
01:10:37And I've spent most
01:10:39All my life
01:10:41Searching for that
01:10:44Four-leaf clover
01:10:46Yet you've ran with me
01:10:50Chasing my rainbow
01:10:56And honey, I love you too
01:11:00That's the way love goes
01:11:07That's the way love goes
01:11:11That's the music
01:11:15God made
01:11:17For all the world to sing
01:11:21It's never old
01:11:24It grows
01:11:26Loosing makes me sorry
01:11:31Say honey
01:11:34Don't worry
01:11:37Don't you know
01:11:38I love you too
01:11:40That's the way love goes
01:11:49That's the way love goes
01:12:08All right
01:12:09All right
01:12:10Hannah, that was
01:12:12That was absolutely amazing
01:12:14You are looking like a star

01:13:30Thank you, Hannah
01:13:34In 1938
01:13:35The music icon
01:13:36Known as Etta James
01:13:37Was born in Los Angeles
01:13:39She'd go on
01:13:40To record this
01:13:41Blues and Soul
01:13:42Classic
01:13:43In 1967
01:13:44And tonight
01:13:45Keila Richardson
01:13:47Pace tribute
01:13:48Watch
01:13:50I'm singing Etta James
01:13:51I'd rather go blind
01:13:53Honestly, this is my first time
01:13:54Really listening to Etta James
01:13:55Dang, she's amazing
01:13:57She's from California
01:13:59And so
01:13:59When I heard her singing
01:14:00I'm like, man
01:14:01I gotta try to
01:14:02Embody this
01:14:02And give that
01:14:03Because they don't make music
01:14:04Like that no more
01:14:05And so
01:14:05I hope I can do her song justice
01:14:15Something told me
01:14:17It was over
01:14:20Yeah
01:14:24When I saw you and her talking
01:14:32Something deep down in my soul
01:14:35Cry, girl

01:16:57Oh, my God.
01:16:58I mean, I know Jennifer Hudson throws a shoe.
01:17:01I don't have one.
01:17:02I'm trying to, like, should I throw my Spanx?
01:17:04I'm wearing, like, six pairs, so I may be able to spare something.
01:17:06But that was insane.
01:17:08That was an iconic idol moment, I feel.
01:17:11Wow.
01:17:13Yeah, like, I mean, tears just started happening to me.
01:17:17I was just starting to well up just watching your growth.

01:17:31Let the congregation say, Amen.
