TVTranscript
00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I just, I'm capable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts, Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:14Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44this is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:49front row
00:01:52you should be very proud of how far you've come.
00:01:57but for now, your journey
00:02:02it's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:14So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap, how did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survived the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round,
00:02:30when the judges review all the performances in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:36It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end, and I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week, you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:01Every time it's the light
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing, but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger and when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:25I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:29The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32And now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me, so I can be far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.
00:04:06Please stay where you are.
00:04:11Don't come any closer.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:16Don't try to change my mind.
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind.
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark.
00:04:33It feels like we're oceans apart.
00:04:44There's so much space between us.
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated.
00:04:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:04:58Everything changed me.
00:05:02We're not the only ones.
00:05:05I don't regret a thing.
00:05:07Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean.
00:05:12It is the world to me that you are in my life.
00:05:16I want to live and not survive.
00:05:28That's why I can't love you in the dark.
00:05:38I want to live and not survive.
00:06:08There's so many things I want to say that I was trying to kick you out of the room because
00:06:12I'm so jealous of you.
00:06:13But your first note, Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere.
00:06:18No kidding.
00:06:20And what a pro dynamic of singing.
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life right now to be discovered on this platform.
00:06:29And I'm so excited to see your future.
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result, the spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls, including 29-year-old singer-songwriter
00:06:46Kendall Inskeep.
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage, it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable.
00:06:52So it's such a challenge this week because you only have one shot to really be authentic
00:06:57to who you are.
00:06:59I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church, and we would sing together.
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from is my mom.
00:07:10I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville.
00:07:13I actually came to Belmont.
00:07:14I came here for maybe 60 days.
00:07:17But we are still alumni as if we were here for only 60 days.
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers.
00:07:25The song is a little bit more lively.
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand, so it's not really in my comfort zone.
00:07:32How are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy.
00:07:35You nervous?
00:07:35I get that a little bit.
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity for me to really show I can also be free-spirited
00:07:44and fun and joyful in my performance.
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage.
00:07:51Okay.
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:07:59When the call came down to one
00:08:02Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:06I was broad, but I was kind
00:08:10Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:20Clear your heart
00:08:23Cut the cord
00:08:26Are we here?
00:08:30Or are we dancers?
00:08:54Will your sister be alright?
00:08:59Will you help me down in line?
00:09:01There's no message we're receiving
00:09:05Don't you know it's in your heart beating
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Are we dancers?
00:09:19My sight is vital
00:09:21My hands are cold
00:09:24And the Almighty is looking for the answer
00:09:32Are we human?
00:09:35Or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we human?
00:09:43Or are we dancers?
00:09:55You got such a cool voice, Kendall.
00:09:58Thank you so much.
00:09:59And I love how at this time you switched it up
00:10:01And you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03That you know it was a lot more energetic
00:10:06And you felt comfortable in both spaces
00:10:08So I think you should be really proud of that.
00:10:11Thank you so much.
00:10:13I love her.
00:10:14I love her.
00:10:15I love her.
00:10:15That voice you got.
00:10:16Oh my God.
00:10:17I love her.
00:10:17It's cool.
00:10:17And she's comfortable.
00:10:18She's so comfortable.
00:10:21I can.
00:10:22I'm going to cry.
00:10:23Because.
00:10:25I'm going to cry.
00:10:26Because I just like was so nervous going on.
00:10:30I'm very happy with the way that I just went.
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie to see if they've done enough to survive the first round of cuts.
00:10:41Would the following people please step forward?
00:10:45Jessie.
00:10:47Kendall.
00:10:50You are still in the running to become the next American Idol.
00:10:54Oh!
00:11:03Tonight has just been the best night of my life.
00:11:07So proud of you man.
00:11:08I just can't believe it.
00:11:10I'm so excited.
00:11:11I am so excited.
00:11:13And I'm so grateful that this just happened right now.
00:11:20Tonight, the Hollywood Week Music City Takeover comes to a close.
00:11:25Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:11:27It'll be anything but easy to get there.
00:11:30Everyone's fighting for their lives in here.
00:11:32I'm just not sure that was the right song.
00:11:33Bring it on!
00:11:35I love it!
00:11:36Your booze are feeding me.
00:11:38Stay tuned to see more of your favorites.
00:11:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:11:45If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:11:48And by the end of the night, your top 30 will be revealed.
00:11:52We got more bloodshed coming.
00:11:54We have some sing-offs.
00:12:01Carrie, how is Hollywood Week in Music City going?
00:12:04Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting and it's drama and it's stressful.
00:12:09It's very difficult because we gotta get rid of so many wonderful kids, but I'm telling you,
00:12:14we're finding stars.
00:12:16Stars.
00:12:17Are you guys ready?
00:12:18Everyone out here is mind-blowing, so my nerves are definitely, definitely up now.
00:12:24I never would have thought I'd be right here ever.
00:12:28It's just kind of a dream that I don't realize that I'm living.
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity for me.
00:12:32Coming to the stage, here's Cutter Bradley!
00:12:36I've moved away from home to do this dream.
00:12:38Kind of left everything behind.
00:12:40And so I want to stay really bad.
00:12:49I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:12:54I fell asleep in my booze last night.
00:12:58I had a feeling that I'd run out of my hands.
00:13:03Well, girl, I couldn't have been more around.
00:13:09I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:13:13I fell asleep in my booze last night.
00:13:17And I knew I wouldn't have to take the time putting them back on when I'm sober.
00:13:21Yeah, I knew you'd be pissed off over me.
00:13:24And I'd just be hung over and cold.
00:13:28And I didn't need to take them off, no.
00:13:31And I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:13:41Thank you, thank you.
00:13:42I feel like you've got, like, a solid voice.
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range.
00:13:47You were, like, a lion, like, pacing back and forth.
00:13:51Like, getting ready to, like, bust out of the cage.
00:13:53Hey, easy, easy, easy.
00:13:54It was good, it was easy.
00:13:55Slow down, slow down, slow down.
00:13:56It was good, it was good.
00:13:59Thank you all.
00:14:02This microphone is revealing a lot of singers now.
00:14:10So happy to be here.
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan.
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas.
00:14:15I'm going to be singing.
00:14:16I'm going to be singing, um,
00:14:17I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.
00:14:19Good song.
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol
00:14:21because I want to show that your story, your pain,
00:14:25can be used to be your greatest power.
00:14:27Absolutely.
00:14:29Well, I feel really, really lucky to be here
00:14:35in Hollywood Week.
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here.
00:14:39Welcome back.
00:14:41Last year, I wasn't able to experience this round
00:14:45because of my mental health.
00:14:47You were born enough.
00:14:50I feel proud of myself for making it here.
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing, a lot of learning.
00:14:57And so, this year, I'm definitely feeling much more
00:15:00well-prepared and confident.
00:15:02But I'm always nervous.
00:15:04I mean, why wouldn't you be nervous in Hollywood Week?
00:15:08Up until this point, I've only performed my own songs.
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking about this first cover for us.
00:15:15I'm really pushing myself with this one.
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection to bring out emotion
00:15:20for a song that you're covering.
00:15:24It demands more of me.
00:15:25So, the pressure's on.
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking just thinking about it, honestly.
00:15:32But I just thought, you know, I'd regret it
00:15:33if I showed up to Hollywood Week and I didn't push myself.
00:15:36Turn down the light.
00:15:41Turn down the pit.
00:15:45Turn down these voices inside my head.
00:15:52Lay down with me.
00:15:56Tell me no lies.
00:16:00Just hold me close.
00:16:02Don't patronize.
00:16:09Don't patronize.
00:16:11Don't patronize me.
00:16:16Cause I can make you love me if you don't.
00:16:23You can make your heart feel something in love.
00:16:32Even here in the dark
00:16:36These final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:43And I'll feel the power
00:16:46But you won't
00:16:49Know you won't
00:16:53Cause I can make you love me
00:17:01If you don't
00:17:05If you don't
00:17:09If you don't
00:17:20Thank you so much
00:17:36Gotta keep it together up here
00:17:38My favorite part about that is when you hit your first note the crowd screams
00:17:42You smile and your smile was so big you almost couldn't sing the next line
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future
00:17:53And that was the first of many great experiences for you
00:17:58And we're just glad we get to watch
00:18:14I feel like
00:18:15Every time I go on stage I still struggle with that self doubt
00:18:20And I just get proven wrong every single time
00:18:22And it's really starting to feel like a blessing
00:18:24And I'm not ready to go home
00:18:26Not at all
00:18:27Why am I so nervous?
00:18:29I know right?
00:18:31Not easy
00:18:33Cutter
00:18:36Julian
00:18:39You are still chasing that American Idol dream
00:18:50Is it a whirlwind for you?
00:18:52It's more than a whirlwind
00:18:53It's magic
00:18:54It's actual magic
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life
00:18:58That's so funny
00:19:02Welcome back to American Idol
00:19:04Where Professor Carey's Hollywood Week lessons
00:19:07Have some students turning against her
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song
00:19:14They just like to boo me
00:19:16There were notes that were just like
00:19:18Awesome
00:19:19And then I was hearing some that I was like
00:19:21What's happening right now?
00:19:23So I'm kind of like
00:19:25I'm
00:19:27I heard it too
00:19:28I heard it too
00:19:29I'm just not sure that was the right song
00:19:31She only won this
00:19:32She knows
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion
00:19:39But Mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass
00:19:42It was a little shaky to start
00:19:44I think make sure you do songs that really
00:19:47Showcase that grit that you have
00:19:48Thank you so much
00:19:49Thank you
00:19:51Why don't they boo you?
00:19:54I know I'm trying to get booed
00:19:56Ask them
00:19:56You're not gonna boo him?
00:19:59You're not gonna boo Luke?
00:20:04I'm getting used to it
00:20:06I'm getting used to it
00:20:08Hoping to get on Carey's good side by living up to his name
00:20:11Stand by folks
00:20:12Stand by folks
00:20:14Is 24 year old True the star?
00:20:19My first audition I saw the ballad
00:20:21So I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much as I wanted to
00:20:25And how are you working on it?
00:20:28Just being myself
00:20:29The song I will be singing is Love and Happiness by Al Green
00:20:32It shows my personality and how I like to move around and perform
00:20:37It's more about being true yourself and be 100%
00:20:40Well go have some fun, be you, and let's get it done
00:20:43Come on y'all
00:20:44Come on y'all
00:21:13Come on y'all

00:27:40i'm here with the texas tailgaters which is entertainment baseball
00:27:43ow
00:27:44i got into it actually as a singer
00:27:46going forward it's just taking this part of you seriously
00:27:51and now in hollywood week he must prove himself on his own
00:27:55If you're calling back, my heart is still yours.
00:28:00I should have listened to it a little more.
00:28:03On those choruses, make sure you enunciate through them on those big notes.
00:28:08The devil's in the details.
00:28:10And I still love you.
00:28:16Jason, this is the end of your American Idol journey.
00:28:20I think my buddies would be more than proud of me.
00:28:23I gave you everything I had.
00:28:25That's all I can do.
00:28:26And for so many others, giving their all still had them coming up short.
00:28:31Maddy.
00:28:33Kitty.
00:28:35Landon.
00:28:36This is the end of the road.
00:28:38Thank you very much.
00:28:39I might have just not really been as prepared as I would have liked to be.
00:28:44I've never really sung on a stage by myself before.
00:28:48I think I gave great rocks to our lives, but maybe I didn't.
00:28:52My body language didn't say it.
00:28:53You know, I try my hardest.
00:28:55But it wasn't enough.
00:28:57But someday you'll be gone.
00:29:01And I used to fear nothing at all.
00:29:06But for Julianne, she ends her journey with a risk that didn't pay off, performing her original song.
00:29:13And I'm close to the end.
00:29:14Julianne, I am sorry to tell you that your American Idol journey ends right now.
00:29:20Take me up, help me stand.
00:29:23Even though my journey with American Idol is over, it's been such a great experience.
00:29:28I'm going to keep writing music, and this has inspired me, and I hope that my song could inspire other
00:29:33people.
00:29:35I'm going to keep writing music, and this has been a great experience.
00:29:38I'm going to keep writing music, and this has been a great experience.
00:29:39I hope everybody back there can hear me.
00:29:41I hope all of the contestants can hear me.
00:29:43When the stars align for you guys when you're on a stage like this is when you sing a song
00:29:50that somebody's just been waiting to hear, a song that somebody loves, and you crush it.
00:29:55Make some noise here.
00:29:5722-year-old Moore.
00:30:00Moore.
00:30:03What's up, everybody?
00:30:04I'm Moore.
00:30:06I'm going to be singing an original for you guys today.
00:30:10I'm definitely taking a risk.
00:30:11It's a risk that paid off for Moore in the past.
00:30:14I'm a songwriter at heart, and my audition was nothing short of a blessing.
00:30:22You were taking from me years ago, someone I never got to know.
00:30:27I was able to sing my original song, and that meant a lot to me.
00:30:32That writing was very cool.
00:30:34Thank you so much.
00:30:35Very, very cool.
00:30:35That means the world to me.
00:30:36I feel like I've got a story to tell that can impact and heal people, because music has healed me.
00:30:40There's definitely moments where I have doubts whether this is the right choice or not.
00:30:44Head on up.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:45Especially a song that you wrote that no one knows.
00:30:47He's no band?
00:30:48No band.
00:30:48It's original.
00:30:50It puts a lot of weight on the performance itself.
00:30:53This song's called How to Love You.
00:31:19You're saying words, but they won't reach my head.
00:31:29Can't fix it now, when you're already picturing the end.
00:31:39And I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:49Oh, I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:55It's good, though.
00:31:58Oh, and I can't go on without you.
00:32:07I'm wondering when I'll find you, when I'll find myself.
00:32:17Cause I'm lost on how to love you.
00:32:50I'm lost on how to love you.
00:32:51Oh, and I can't go on without you.
00:32:52I can't go on without you.

00:47:42wow
00:47:43and impeccable
00:47:44you let them look
00:47:50while they can
00:47:54you let them spin
00:47:57you let them scatter
00:48:25I'm seeing authenticity, I'm seeing style, I'm seeing
00:48:29uniqueness, and that's what it takes to do well in this competition.
00:48:34That was solid, solid.
00:48:38Up next, and here to inspire others, is Mississippi voice teacher, Daniel Stallworth.
00:48:45Music City, what's up Nashville?
00:48:48To make the top 30, it would mean a lot to me.
00:48:50It would help me keep pushing the narrative, to never stop believing.
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students, to let them know that you can reach your goals, never give up.
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you?
00:49:00That's exactly right.
00:49:02I didn't really expect them to react the way that they did.
00:49:05It made me feel like, yes, I can believe that I'm a star.
00:49:08All right, make sure you can hear yourself down there, check those wages out, and then we'll go.
00:49:11On Hollywood week, I'm going to perform Stand By Me.
00:49:13No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:17No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage this big, going straight in, diving in head first.
00:49:24I'm going to definitely keep the energy and sing like I'll never sing again.
00:49:29Y'all clap your hands.
00:49:30Come on.
00:49:32When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see.
00:49:48No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:52No, I won't be afraid.
00:49:57Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
00:50:04If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall, for the mountains should crumble in the sea.
00:50:20Darling, darling, darling, stay by me, oh, stay by me, stay, stay by me.
00:50:36Whenever you're in trouble, stay, stay, stay by me, yeah.
00:50:58Yeah.
00:51:03Wow.
00:51:05Wow.
00:51:06Wow.
00:51:06Wow.
00:51:07To take a song that we've heard so many times, and to just take it to the rafters of this
00:51:14place,
00:51:14you're a truly special person.
00:51:16Hey, way to go, man.
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by for results, Brooks hopes he can do enough to stand out.
00:51:28I've never performed on a stage.
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family, so I'm very excited.
00:51:35But I'm also still very nervous.
00:51:38I come from a musical family.
00:51:41My dad is a harmonicist.
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life.
00:51:44But I just never took it seriously, but I just never took it seriously.
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me.
00:51:51I had trouble making friends.
00:51:52I was very shy.
00:51:54I was very shy, awkward.
00:51:57I started playing soccer around the age of six.
00:52:00That kind of led to making friends, and from that point on, soccer was my life.
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro, to see my last name on my back with a number
00:52:12that I liked.
00:52:14My freshman year of high school, halfway through the soccer season, I went for a free kick.
00:52:23And I planted my left foot to kick it, and I felt like a gear switch in my lower left
00:52:28back, and I couldn't feel my legs.
00:52:31I snapped my back in half, and that changed everything.
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved and be around the other
00:52:43boys and be a part of things.
00:52:45I was lost for a long time, and then I picked up a guitar, and I didn't want to put
00:52:50it down.
00:52:52You haven't played out much.
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much.
00:52:57Well, stop doing that.
00:53:00I just want to hear more.
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities, but this holds the future that I want.
00:53:09All right, let's see what they think about him.
00:53:11All right, here we go.
00:53:32I will find myself walking down the road all alone, just like a rolling stone.
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul, and it grows just like an ocean wave.
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way, and it keeps on pouring down, tears of pain.
00:54:13Well, this wind stirs up the hurricane, and it keeps on pouring down, tears of pain.
00:54:28I am lost amongst these north country stars.
00:54:34Where you find me, and lead me on home.
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins.
00:54:55There's this pain, and it keeps on pouring down, tears of pain.
00:55:08And it keeps on pouring down, tears of pain.
00:55:18And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away.
00:55:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:55:49And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it is pretty special.
00:55:55When you have this unique voice paired with these songs that are going to happen in your
00:56:01life, it's going to be really, really special.
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?
00:56:11It's great.
00:56:12Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah.
00:56:14Wow.
00:56:16It felt good.
00:56:17And our judges now have to decide who in this final group of the original 127 Singers
00:56:24in Hollywood Week will make it to the Golden Room and the chance to move on to the top
00:56:2830.
00:56:31Bricks.
00:56:39You're going through to the next round.
00:56:42And I know for us to go.
00:56:46We got a leak.
00:56:48We got a leak.
00:56:51Daniel Stallworth.
00:56:55Defining your own, as long as you know.
00:56:58You'll be joining them also.
00:57:00I hope you know I will in your heart.
00:57:03Wherever you touch, your team's going to fall,
00:57:07Just don't let it break you're away.
00:57:10I just thought, yes.
00:57:11That's great.
00:57:18I'm overjoyed, I'm overjoyed.
00:57:20I mean, I had my doubts, but I guess they liked me enough, so.
00:57:25Whoo!
00:57:27They were so good.
00:57:29Thank you so much.
00:57:31My fans.
00:57:38How are we doing, gang?
00:57:39What's up?
00:57:40Hey.
00:57:42What's happening?
00:57:43Give yourselves a round of applause for these great performances out there.
00:57:48There are 60 of you here in this room, and the judges said only 30 of you will go on
00:57:54to that next round.
00:57:56Right now, they're actually deliberating.
00:57:59With the task of having to cut so many hopefuls, the judges review the performances to pare it down to
00:58:05just 30.
00:58:06It's hard.
00:58:07There are people that are really good that we are having to send home.
00:58:11Soon you'll be called back into the theater, so when you are called back in, just be aware anything could
00:58:19happen.
00:58:19Everyone's fighting for their lives in here. It's chaos.
00:58:21I've got a massive curveball thrown at us.
00:58:24Some of us are going home.
00:58:28We got more bloodshed coming.
00:58:30We got more decisions to make than we're used to.
00:58:33The remaining 60 must now be cut in half again, as the judges decide who will make it through to
00:58:41the top 30.
00:58:43It's so hard having to cut this many, y'all.
00:58:46It's a big cut. Hopefully we are making the right decisions.
00:58:50Well, I feel like I'm going to throw up.
00:58:52Who knows, I might puke. I don't know.
00:58:55We feel good about it.
00:58:56We've got them.
00:58:57Yeah, we got them. I think we do.
00:58:59With the judges' decisions made, the singers return to the theater to learn their fate.
00:59:04It's been a crazy Hollywood week here in Nashville.
00:59:08You've been through a lot.
00:59:09We've had to talk out your futures amongst us three, and it's nothing that we take lightly.
00:59:18I mean, you're all here for reasons, because you're really good.
00:59:21And if a couple of you kind of occupied the same space, we definitely have to look at that.
00:59:28So we have some sing-offs that we're going to ask you to do.
00:59:34And I'm going to deliver the first two names of the sing-offs.
00:59:39We never planned it. It happened naturally.
00:59:42They have the same two last names.
00:59:46If your last name is Garner, where's the Garner's?
00:59:53Jason, Michael, the two Garner's, you're in a sing-off together.
00:59:57So we've got a slot. One of you will have it.
01:00:00You are dismissed, so you can go work on your song that you want to sing.
01:00:04And y'all are our first sing-offs.
01:00:07Garner versus Garner.
01:00:12You got this.
01:00:13So I get the second sing-off announcement.
01:00:17So I look forward to seeing Mary Jo Young and Chloe Lauren.
01:00:24All right, so it'll be you guys.
01:00:26Y'all are in the sing-offs.
01:00:28All right.
01:00:28Go work on your songs.
01:00:30Bring your A-game.
01:00:32While the sing-off duos leave to prepare, the remaining finalists will now be called up in groups to find
01:00:39out who has earned their place in the top 30.
01:00:42All right.
01:00:45So when I call your name, please stand up and make your way to the stage.
01:00:51Micaiah.

01:22:32Don't be shy.
01:22:35You have actually survived Hollywood Week in Music City,
01:22:39one of the most dynamic classes we have ever had.
01:22:43You're going to have one more hurdle before you make it to America's vote.
01:22:49And guess where the next exciting round is going to take place?
01:22:57At Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Hawaii.

01:23:28Ladies and gentlemen, that is a wrap.
01:23:31Woo!
01:23:32Next Monday, American Idol unleashes a game-changing all-new twist.
01:23:40Welcome to the all-new Ohana Round.
01:23:44At Disney's Aulani Resort, 30 hopefuls step into the spotlight.
01:23:50We're going from pine trees to palm trees.
01:23:52But for the first time ever, your talent is limitless.
01:23:57The judgment goes beyond our panel.
01:23:59It is a gut-wrenching decision to have to make with a dramatic power shift.
01:24:06Three groups will be charged with making some critical decisions.
01:24:10This is too hard!
01:24:12The idols, the families, and a curated crop of industry experts, who decide who has the goods.
01:24:25She looks like an angel.
01:24:26She's backlit and gorgeous.
01:24:29Lives will change.
01:24:31This is a dream, and I'm very grateful to be one of the few that gets to experience it.
01:24:36Who gets to America's boat?
01:24:38It gets to you that your journey could come to an end.
01:24:40Oh, no!
01:24:41Your Top 20 reveal with the all-new Ohana Round.
01:24:45Ohana means family, and my family means everything to me.
01:24:48Coming in hot next Monday.
01:24:51Don't miss a moment.
01:24:54And it hurts.
01:24:55And it hurts.
