00:00:11American Idol is the gold standard in finding talent.
00:00:16How's it going, man?
00:00:17Last season, we got to hear Jamal sing,
00:00:19and then a few months later, he's nominated for a Grammy.
00:00:22And let me bask in your light.
00:00:26You know I'll be there for the first to get to it.
00:00:28That's what we sit in the chair for,
00:00:30to hopefully find those next superstars.
00:00:35Jamal Roberts!
00:00:36It just takes one year.
00:00:38Life will change forever.
00:00:42Welcome to the show.
00:00:43Take it all in.
00:00:44Oh, my goodness.
00:00:45Wow.
00:00:46I love American Idol.
00:00:47I've watched it since I was a kid.
00:00:48Even this last season, I actually got to meet Jamal Roberts,
00:00:51and he was amazing.
00:00:56Phenomenal singer.
00:00:57I got to see him in concert, and incredible vocalist,
00:00:59great stage presence.
00:01:01I love him so much.
00:01:02You look like you're pretty excited.
00:01:03I am.
00:01:04I'm very excited.
00:01:05My name is Jordan McCullough.
00:01:07I'm 27, and I'm from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
00:01:09Where'd you grow up performing at?
00:01:11In church.
00:01:12That's where I got my start.
00:01:13I didn't know that any of this was a possibility
00:01:16outside of the choir stand.
00:01:17So just four years old, I was singing in the choir.
00:01:20And yeah, that's where it started.
00:01:22Very cool.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:01:24Well, we're going to bring the choir stand here,
00:01:25and I'm going to sing Goodness of God.
00:01:27Yay!
00:01:28So good.
00:01:29All right.
00:01:36I love you, Lord.
00:01:42Oh, your mercy never failed me in all my days.
00:01:49I've been held in your head.
00:01:52From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head, oh, I will sing of the goodness of
00:02:07God.
00:02:11All my life, you have been faithful, oh, yes, you have.
00:02:19All my life, you have been so, so good with every breath that I have made, oh, oh, I will
00:02:34sing of the goodness of God.
00:02:38Yes, thank you, Lord.
00:02:43Your goodness running after, running after me.
00:02:50Your goodness is running after, running after me.
00:03:11Woo!
00:03:18Man.
00:03:19Thank you, thank you so much.
00:03:20That'll wake you up.
00:03:22Come on.
00:03:24Come on.
00:03:25What you think, Carrie?
00:03:27You were flying up out of that chair, levitating.
00:03:29I was.
00:03:30How can you not?
00:03:32You have been given an incredible gift.
00:03:35Wow.
00:03:36And I love that you use it.
00:03:38I mean, the first two words out of your mouth, it was like, ooh, oh, yeah, okay.
00:03:43I just had chills pretty much the whole time.
00:03:45Wow.
00:03:46It was really great.
00:03:48Your voice is big enough to fill up any room.
00:03:52Very classic sounding voice.
00:03:54Wow.
00:03:54The university has been waiting on you.
00:03:56Oh, my God.
00:03:57I'm telling you, it is one of those moments when we discover your talent.
00:04:03It's mesmerizing to watch you perform because it's not just standing there singing.
00:04:08You actually have stage presence, which is something we can't teach.
00:04:13Wow.
00:04:13It just felt like worship.
00:04:14It just.
00:04:15It didn't feel forced.
00:04:17It just felt like you were in the moment, and we were in the moment with you.
00:04:20It's a big, giant yes from me.
00:04:23No doubt about it.
00:04:24It is.
00:04:24I'm looking forward to all the goosies throughout the rest of it.
00:04:29You're right.
00:04:29So it's a big yes from me.
00:04:30Let's go.
00:04:31It's a yes from me.
00:04:33Congratulations.
00:04:34Wow.
00:04:34Thank you guys so much.
00:04:37You're going through the Hollywood week.
00:04:39You're ready.
00:04:40Let's go.
00:04:40Thank you guys so much.
00:04:41Yeah, thank you.
00:04:44Let's go.
00:04:44I hope y'all ready to worship with me next time.
00:04:46I'm ready.
00:04:47I'm always ready.
00:04:48What is happening?
00:04:49This is happening right now.
00:04:50This is crazy.
00:04:52Don't let them bring you to the surprise.
00:04:56That's so great to start off.
00:05:00Big ol' voice there.
00:05:02Welcome to the class, man.
00:05:04It feels really, really wild to be standing here just like Jamal Roberts did.
00:05:08And I feel like you've kind of passed the torch here.
00:05:10And I'm ready to carry it even further.
00:05:12I'm going to Hollywood week!
00:05:14Woo!
00:05:17Good way to start the day.
00:05:19That was great.
00:05:31What is that?
00:05:35Is this part of the...
00:05:37What the heck?
00:05:38Is this like an entrance?
00:05:41I feel like the best class we could shape is going to be very eclectic.
00:05:48It's more spicy.
00:05:51And I, being a lover of rock music, I just want to find that representative.
00:05:58Ah!

00:11:55Like screaming.
00:11:55Screaming, yeah, that's right.

00:13:04I'll bring a little edge.
00:13:06Absolutely.
00:13:07You know, the bottom line is you're one of the best voices we've heard so far.
00:13:12Yes.
00:13:13You just kept getting higher and then higher.
00:13:16I'm thinking, where does this voice end?
00:13:19Just...
00:13:21Oh, my goodness.
00:13:22Push the box.
00:13:23Let's vote.
00:13:24I'll go first.

00:13:25Yes.
00:13:27Yes.
00:13:28You're one of my absolute favorites.
00:13:32Top 30.
00:13:33I'm calling it.
00:13:34Let's do this.
00:13:35Yes, yes, yes.

00:13:48Oh, my god.
00:13:48Thank you guys so much.
00:13:50Have fun.
00:13:52Yes.
00:13:56I'm going to Hollywood.
00:13:58Carrie called me top 30 and I almost fell to the ground.
00:14:01I almost fell to the ground.
00:14:02It's insane.
00:14:04Oh, I'm glad she believes in me.
00:14:06I am so ready for this.
00:14:08Oh, you know I've been looking for my rockers.
00:14:10I'm like they're screaming.
00:14:12So there's a technique you can do that and it's not.
00:14:15Can you do it that way?
00:14:16Yes.
00:14:17But I've never done such things outside of my car.
00:14:29We're coming around the corner.
00:14:31LaGrange, Georgia.
00:14:33Where are all these folks around here, man?
00:14:35LaGrange.
00:14:36Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
00:14:42I'm ready for that.
00:14:43Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:46ZZ Top, really?
00:14:48Isn't that LaGrange?
00:14:49That's LaGrange.
00:14:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:53Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:54All right.
00:14:55Take a lift.
00:14:56Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:57How are you?
00:14:58Good.
00:14:58How are y'all?
00:14:59Good.
00:15:00Well, you came in so comfortable.
00:15:02Very chill, man.
00:15:03So tell us who you are.
00:15:04Where are you from, your age?
00:15:06My name's Philman Lee.
00:15:07I'm from LaGrange, Georgia.
00:15:08And I'm 25 years old.
00:15:10Philman, that's right down the street from Tuskegee.
00:15:12Shout out.
00:15:12There you go.
00:15:13What do you do for a living?
00:15:14So right now I'm in insurance sales.
00:15:16I do life insurance.
00:15:17It's all virtual.
00:15:18Talk with people all day long.
00:15:23Hello.
00:15:24Corlin, this is Philman.
00:15:25How are you doing?
00:15:26I'm an insurance broker.
00:15:27And I see where you inquired about some life insurance coverage pretty recently.
00:15:34I do insurance now, but that's not the angle.
00:15:40I want to sing every single night if I can.
00:15:42There's a revelation that I might never know.
00:15:47I've been a musician my whole life.
00:15:49All credit, really, to my dad.
00:15:51He toured around with a gospel quartet group.
00:15:54And I was on a tour bus with him ever since I was like four years old.
00:15:57It definitely gave me a hunger.
00:15:59You know, even being a kid, that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.
00:16:02I've been trying all this time.
00:16:04I got into music after I dropped out of college.
00:16:06And I eventually ended up signing with a major label.
00:16:09Still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:12I was able to record a lot, and it looked like it was going to be pretty promising.
00:16:17And then when COVID hit, it just kind of plateaued, and I got shelved.
00:16:21You know, I obviously wasn't making any money.
00:16:22That's when I picked up insurance.
00:16:24Don't worry, I'll be fine.
00:16:26But I still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:30My family, you know, they were there every step of the way.
00:16:32The nights that I would cry because I'm not singing, I'm not doing music,
00:16:36and I thought I would never have another chance at it.
00:16:39They were definitely there for every single one of those moments.
00:16:41I got faith in you, brother.
00:16:43You got it in you, baby.
00:16:44We've been in your corner all your life.
00:16:47We love you so much, little buddy.
00:16:49American Idol's another chance at doing what I love
00:16:52and getting my foot back in the door.
00:16:53I have a voice, and I want it to be heard.
00:17:07Come on now.
00:17:17When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else.
00:17:29He treats the world for the good things he's found.
00:17:38If she is bad, he can't see it.
00:17:45She can do no harm.
00:17:51Turn his back on his best friend, he puts her down.
00:18:02When a man loves a woman, I give you everything I got.
00:18:16Hey, yeah.
00:18:20Trying to hold on to your precious love.
00:18:28And baby, baby, please don't treat me bad.
00:18:37When a man loves a woman, can't keep down in his soul.
00:18:50She can bring you such mystery.
00:19:02Wow.
00:19:03You know, there's a difference between bent down and broke down.
00:19:06You were in both conditions.
00:19:08I'm talking about it.
00:19:09I mean, you were down.
00:19:11You were down.
00:19:11I said, how low is he going to go?
00:19:13Oh, man.
00:19:14No, you wouldn't know.
00:19:15That was great interpretation, man.
00:19:17Carrie, what do you think about this?
00:19:18Wonderful gentleman.
00:19:20Surprising.
00:19:21Like you just walk in and you're just so chill and calm and then you open your mouth to sing,
00:19:28hands in your pockets.
00:19:29Sorry.
00:19:31No, you're good.
00:19:32I was like, is he going to, I'm going to have to go take his hands out of your pockets.
00:19:35I was pleasantly surprised.
00:19:38You can't learn what you just did.
00:19:40Regardless of whatever else you think you were trying to do, do more of that.
00:19:45Carrie reminded me of my mom, take your hands out your pocket and look the folks straight in the face.
00:19:51That's all you need to do.
00:19:52In other words, now you have to become the character.
00:19:54Yes, sir.
00:19:55And if you're really, really lucky and blessed, you won't have to worry about insurance except on your voice.
00:20:00And that's going to be covering you.
00:20:02Sounds good to me.
00:20:03Luke?
00:20:04Making another Georgia boy proud.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:07We've had 10 people today that look like they've been trained to sing.
00:20:11And you look like you were born to sing.
00:20:13Nah.
00:20:16The fun part about this business, we can't judge any book by any cover.
00:20:20We just have to let you sing.
00:20:23And then, man, when we get somebody like you, it's pretty dang exciting.
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:26It made me cry, man.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:28It is now, I think it's your turn to shine.
00:20:31I think we should just take a vote.
00:20:33Carrie, what do you think?
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36Boom.
00:20:36Luke, what do you think?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:38Boom.
00:20:39We're not selling insurance, but we're definitely selling tickets.
00:20:42Welcome to Hollywood Week, babes.
00:20:44Good job.
00:20:46Get down, baby.
00:20:47Let me start crying.
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49Georgia boy.
00:20:50Yes, sir.
00:20:55Here it comes.
00:21:00Ah!
00:21:01They're not too!
00:21:02Ah!
00:21:03Good boy!
00:21:10I had a lot of family and friends here with me today that have seen nothing but ups and
00:21:14downs.
00:21:16Definitely felt like music slowed down for me a lot, and I didn't see another way back
00:21:20into it.
00:21:20Oh!
00:21:21I love you so much.
00:21:21But I believe my life definitely changed with this audition.
00:21:25I'm going to Hollywood Week!
00:21:27Holy cow!
00:21:28Holy cow!
00:21:29Shout out to the insurance company I work for.
00:21:32Thank you all for the job, and I will be taking some time off.
00:21:44You know what my mother used to stop and get me for breakfast?
00:21:47A 20-ounce Mountain Dew.
00:21:49Wow.
00:21:50And a sleeve of powdered donuts.
00:21:52Wow.
00:21:53Okay, we're about to start.
00:21:54Let's hold everything.
00:21:55Luke needs to have his breakfast burrito.
00:21:57The burrito!
00:21:58No, it's just arriving.
00:22:00It'll be ten more minutes, everyone.
00:22:02Ten more.
00:22:02Oh, my God.
00:22:03What?
00:22:04He's going to have a rushed burrito?
00:22:06Fast burrito.
00:22:07There's burrito, and then there's fast burrito.
00:22:10I'm going to have one more bite, and I'll be ready.
00:22:15Is there a napkin?
00:22:17Ah.
00:22:27Two seconds.
00:22:29Here we go, guys.
00:22:31All right, and here we go.
00:22:36We made it.
00:22:37Look at it!
00:22:38Ah!
00:22:41My name is Livy.
00:22:42I am 22 years old from a small town called Shinston, West Virginia.
00:22:45And I am a server at Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:48Everybody here.
00:22:49Uh-oh.
00:22:49Here we go.
00:22:51Yes!
00:22:52Come on.
00:22:52No one's going on.
00:22:53I'm here for it.
00:22:54How are we doing today?
00:22:55My name's Livy.
00:22:56Welcome to Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:57I'll be serving you.
00:22:58We're going to get you all started with something to drink.
00:23:00We've got some Coke products, sweet tea.
00:23:02And, Luke, we've got that one margarita, two margaritas, three margaritas.
00:23:07Plenty of shots.
00:23:07You're going to bring a shot?
00:23:08Oh, you've got some peanuts.
00:23:10I do.
00:23:10Can I give them peanuts?
00:23:11Yes.
00:23:12Today for the judges, I'm bringing the energy, I'm bringing the rolls, and I'm bringing my personality for them.
00:23:18That's not a server's outfit.
00:23:20Is that your outfit?
00:23:21Do you wear that?
00:23:21Oh, this is my outfit, you know?
00:23:23I've got to look sexy for you guys.
00:23:24I've got to look snazzy.
00:23:25You're making a mess, by the way.
00:23:28I've got it contained.
00:23:29This is so good.
00:23:31The main place I sing would have to be my job.
00:23:33We do a thing called give us an exercise yeehaw for the birthdays.
00:23:37So I started singing happy birthday, and people were posting me on TikTok.
00:23:41Things were rolling up.
00:23:47Luke, I think my mom's about to have a heart attack.
00:23:50If she sees you, she thinks you're the sexiest man alive.
00:23:53Oh, no, mama.
00:23:55Oh, Luke, come on.
00:23:58Please.
00:23:58She said, on the way of her, she said, is Luke married?
00:24:01I said, yes, mom, he's married.
00:24:03He said, he ain't going to be married by the time I get in there.
00:24:05Oh, boy.
00:24:06You better get prepared.
00:24:08That little Italian woman's about to come get you.
00:24:11Security, security.
00:24:13Well, good deal.
00:24:14Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:24:16I'm singing Love Wins by Carrie Underwood.
00:24:18Oh.
00:24:19All right.
00:24:19All right.
00:24:20Let's hear it.
00:24:21Absolutely.
00:24:25He'll stop smacking.
00:24:28Oh.
00:24:36A straight bullet and a momma cries.
00:24:40Her baby won't be coming home tonight.
00:24:43A siren screaming down the Avenue.
00:24:45Just another story on the evening news
00:24:49And so it goes
00:24:52But I hold on to hope and I won't let go
00:24:56Cause I, I believe
00:25:00You and me are sisters and brothers
00:25:03And I, I believe
00:25:07We're made to be here for each other
00:25:10We'll never fall if we walk hand in hand
00:25:13For the world that seems broken together again
00:25:16Yeah, I, I believe
00:25:20In the end
00:25:23Love wins
00:25:32Um, Carrie, is she pushing too hard?
00:25:35Might be a little bit.
00:25:37You, you have a, such a big instrument
00:25:39and I feel like sometimes
00:25:41If you start off out of the gate
00:25:43Going a hundred miles an hour
00:25:45There's nowhere left to go.
00:25:46Absolutely.
00:25:47Fredly, can we do a
00:25:48Play that chorus soft.
00:25:53Sing it soft one time.
00:25:55Absolutely.
00:25:55Real relax.
00:25:58I, I, I believe
00:26:01You and me are sisters and brothers
00:26:05And I, I, I believe
00:26:08In the end
00:26:10Love wins
00:26:14That was so much more emotional.
00:26:18Oh my gosh.
00:26:20Hello.
00:26:20That was really nice.
00:26:22Was it enough for maybe you to
00:26:24eat both those?
00:26:25Can I have your biscuits?
00:26:28Get Lionel's.
00:26:29Give me Lionel's.
00:26:29You have enough.
00:26:32My vote is yes.
00:26:33Thank you, queen.
00:26:34I'm excited to see what you do next.
00:26:36I'm excited to grow.
00:26:37Show us all the sides.
00:26:39Your softer side.
00:26:40Your powerful side.
00:26:41Yes for me.
00:26:42You're a queen.
00:26:42Oh my gosh.
00:26:43You're a queen.
00:26:43You're a good enough singer
00:26:44To not have to push so hard
00:26:45Really focus on capturing the emotion
00:26:47Like you don't on that second go around.
00:26:49I'm a yes.
00:26:50Oh, thank you.
00:26:51Thank you, Luke.
00:26:52Lionel, what are you?
00:26:53I'm full.
00:26:55I'm sorry.
00:26:56It is an absolute yes for me.
00:26:58Thank you, guys.
00:26:59And let me tell you something
00:27:00And I mean this from the heart
00:27:01You're a sweetheart
00:27:02And if you just calm down
00:27:04And put that voice out there
00:27:05You've got something magical
00:27:07Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:09You need this!
00:27:11You're going to Hollywood, man!
00:27:13Yeah!
00:27:16Remember, Mama.
00:27:17Mama.
00:27:17Mama.
00:27:18Here we go.
00:27:19Oh my God!
00:27:20Mama Maria
00:27:21She got the chance to meet Luke
00:27:23And I think Luke was a little scared
00:27:25Oh my God!
00:27:25Can you see who that is?
00:27:27Wait!
00:27:29Get him!
00:27:31Oh, Mama!
00:27:32Get him!
00:27:32He's been warned!
00:27:34Oh my God!
00:27:35Thank you so much!
00:27:36Thank you!
00:27:36You're amazing!
00:27:43You know, I worked my butt off for this
00:27:48Like, Gary Underwood, Gabby Barrett
00:27:51All these people have held the stick
00:27:52And now, again, I'm like
00:27:54Now it's my turn
00:27:55That's all I'm gonna say
00:27:55I'm ready to show the world
00:27:57What I can do
00:27:57And let's win this, baby
00:27:59Let's do it
00:28:00We're going to Hollywood week
00:28:02Let's give them a big old
00:28:03Texas sign
00:28:04Yeehaw!
00:28:05Oh my God!
00:28:08Oh my God!
00:28:09Oh my God!
00:28:11Oh my God!
00:28:13My name is Miyaka
00:28:14And I'm 24-year-old
00:28:16And I'm from Ukraine
00:28:31I sing Japanese, though
00:28:33I don't speak Japanese for now
00:28:34I'm still learning English
00:28:37I can sing opera, rock, jazz, whatever
00:28:40And I was thinking
00:28:41Which style matches me the most
00:28:42And when I started to work
00:28:44With anime projects
00:28:45I felt like
00:28:46That
00:29:03From the moment
00:29:04When I started singing
00:29:05I knew for sure
00:29:07That I'm gonna be on stage
00:29:08That I have enough energy
00:29:09To have a stadium
00:29:10To have a huge concert
00:29:12And I really, really want to share this with you guys
00:29:28Wow
00:29:31It's exactly what I want
00:29:32I love her
00:29:34I really love your energy
00:29:37I love everything you're about
00:29:39You are a star
00:29:42Thank you
00:29:42You are a star
00:29:44I thought it was very good
00:29:46I love your energy
00:29:47In this arena
00:29:50In China, we do not have an anime night
00:29:54So I'm not sure this is the avenue
00:29:57But we enjoy your uniqueness
00:30:00If I could take your energy and cut it in half
00:30:03If I could take your vocals and cut it in half
00:30:07We put the baby got back through
00:30:09I like big butts
00:30:11And I cannot lie
00:30:13I like you, Trace
00:30:15We gotta check y'all's ears
00:30:17And we're not gonna put her through
00:30:18You're hitting on something
00:30:20I'm hitting on a good point
00:30:22When Luke has a moment
00:30:24We recognize
00:30:26This is my baby got back dude moment
00:30:28There's show business
00:30:29And then there's entertainment
00:30:30And we don't want theater
00:30:32We want that pop singer
00:30:33I can do it
00:30:41I don't know
00:30:45I think the only way
00:30:47You're gonna know
00:30:48What we're talking about
00:30:50Is to put you in the class
00:30:52You know what I'm thinking
00:30:53I'm thinking we
00:30:55Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
00:30:57Don't, don't, don't put the muscle
00:30:58Don't put the muscle
00:30:59Don't put the muscle
00:31:00Yeah, we're not trying to force Carrie
00:31:03Into anything
00:31:03What you think Carrie
00:31:04You don't need me
00:31:05Say it
00:31:06You don't need me
00:31:07Just say what your vote is
00:31:09It's a no for me
00:31:10Oh
00:31:11What is our vote, Lionel?
00:31:13I'm a big old yes
00:31:14I'm a big old yes
00:31:15There you go
00:31:16I go, yeah
00:31:17You're going to Hollywood week
00:31:19You're going to Hollywood week
00:31:21Guys, we did it
00:31:22I love it
00:31:24Thanks for Kono Bull, Mila
00:31:26I know, I love her
00:31:27I love it
00:31:28So for our next step
00:31:29I definitely have one extra challenge
00:31:31It's to get yes from Carrie
00:31:37Hollywood week
00:31:38I'm coming
00:31:40Carrie, I know this has damaged
00:31:42Our judging relationship
00:31:43Just a wee bit
00:31:46Year two with Carrie
00:31:47She can dig her heels in
00:31:49I would love to hang out with her
00:31:50No, totally
00:31:51She is like Miss Cheerleader
00:31:52Awesome
00:31:53I did not find that entertaining
00:31:55She is 1,000% comfortable
00:31:57In her role as a judge
00:31:59We'll just have to see
00:32:02What America wants to do
00:32:04That's my thing
00:32:05She's great
00:32:06I like her
00:32:07There were several times
00:32:09That me and Carrie
00:32:11We kind of got at odds
00:32:12Our brains just are working
00:32:14Differently
00:32:14I like that
00:32:15Which is great
00:32:15I like that
00:32:16It's definitely more
00:32:17Than Baby Got Back, dude
00:32:18Y'all are mean
00:32:20You would be one
00:32:21That by the end of it
00:32:23It would be like
00:32:23Do you remember his first audition
00:32:25And look how far he's come
00:32:27I'm a yes
00:32:28I'm a no
00:32:29Boo
00:32:30That was great
00:32:32She's gonna fight for her
00:32:34Her kids
00:32:35And the talent
00:32:35The kind of intro
00:32:38Emo
00:32:38I just worry about that
00:32:41Yeah, but he said
00:32:42He likes Fall Out Boy
00:32:43I know
00:32:44Do you do stuff like that
00:32:46That's like
00:32:46You can start out all quiet
00:32:48And then like the drums kick in
00:32:49I do
00:32:51See, he does
00:32:53I'm a no
00:32:55Shocker
00:32:56Shocker
00:32:57If we disagree on some things
00:32:59Oh, are we gonna beef?
00:33:02It's too late
00:33:03You gonna have some flat tires
00:33:06It's all in
00:33:07In love
00:33:08You know
00:33:09Hello
00:33:09Got a whole band with you
00:33:11Trio
00:33:11All right, well, who are you?
00:33:14My name is Vincent Fondale
00:33:15Well, who's your crew here?
00:33:17Well, this is my band
00:33:18We've been together for 18 years
00:33:19Where are you from?
00:33:20I'm from Cleveland, Ohio
00:33:21What do you do up there in Cleveland?
00:33:23I do concrete with my brother
00:33:25And I've created this band up there
00:33:28What's the name of the band?
00:33:29It's named Recess
00:33:30Recess?
00:33:31Yeah
00:33:31We just think of it as like
00:33:33A break from every day
00:33:34Awesome
00:33:34What are you gonna sing today?
00:33:36I'm gonna sing an original song
00:33:37We actually wrote in 2019
00:33:40We felt like we were gonna break up
00:33:42And instead of breaking up
00:33:43We just came out with this song
00:33:45Lionel and I thought
00:33:46We were gonna break up in 2019
00:33:47Uh, never
00:33:48We were gonna stay together
00:33:50No matter what
00:33:50Stronger than ever
00:33:52Let's go
00:33:55Let's go
00:33:56When every minute
00:33:57Hides my confusion
00:33:59Till I can feel the fall from space
00:34:05How come you look so close
00:34:08Like you're right in front of me
00:34:10And if they say the time is an illusion
00:34:14Why can't you see it on my face
00:34:20How come you look so close
00:34:22But you feel so far away
00:34:33Oh, how come you look so close
00:34:50And I know it's over
00:34:53But it's all I've got
00:34:58I know I'm halfway there
00:35:00But I'm just not close enough
00:35:03Oh, I know it's over
00:35:07But it just won't stop
00:35:10Oh, ringing in my ear
00:35:14And the sound of giving up
00:35:17Oh, and I know it's over
00:35:20But it's all I've got
00:35:25Ringing in my ear
00:35:28And the sound of giving up
00:35:35Thank you
00:35:37I'm really excited about you
00:35:40You have this beautiful voice
00:35:42I have no words
00:35:44I'm a little on the other side of the fence
00:35:48Are you serious?
00:35:49Yes
00:35:50Are you serious?
00:35:51I mean, you've got big notes
00:35:52But I thought when you're doing the tender stuff
00:35:55It's almost not really connecting with me all the way
00:35:58It's just not reaching in me
00:35:59And pulling, like, emotions out right now
00:36:02It's honest
00:36:03Lionel, what you think about our concrete boy?
00:36:05The concrete brother, yeah
00:36:06Was that a concrete, solid performance?
00:36:08Concrete work may not be where you're going to end up with this thing
00:36:10If you sound like an old-season guy with that voice
00:36:13You know, you kind of know where you're going with that bad boy
00:36:16It's a yes for me
00:36:17Oh, man, it's a yes for me
00:36:19She's already won Lionel over
00:36:20You can see the headlines now
00:36:22No, no, it's going to be a good season
00:36:23Carrie and Luke at odds
00:36:25I can vote
00:36:27I'm a no
00:36:28You are dead inside
00:36:31This is a yes for me
00:36:32The concrete boy looks like he has cemented himself
00:36:36Wow
00:36:37In the Hollywood Week
00:36:38Congratulations
00:36:39I'm going to give this to you
00:36:40You're going to Hollywood Week, babe
00:36:41You're getting a
00:36:42And you get a hug
00:36:43Express delivery from Carrie Underwood
00:36:45Thank you so much
00:36:47Thank you
00:36:47Congratulations
00:36:48Very cool
00:36:49Seeing Carrie and Luke at odds was very stunning
00:36:51She never gets mad and mean at anything
00:36:54I'm just glad Carrie was on my side
00:36:57And I was able to move through
00:36:58Carrie's coming strong, okay
00:37:00You watch Harry
00:37:02Yeah
00:37:04Carrie and I are already incapable of being in the room with one another
00:37:11It's Nicki Minaj all over again
00:37:13Oh, no, no, no
00:37:23I am feeling very, very nervous
00:37:26I've had the jitters all day
00:37:29Were you ever nervous?
00:37:31Like on Idol?
00:37:31Yes
00:37:32Of course
00:37:32I was horrified
00:37:34Were you nervous?
00:37:35A little bit
00:37:36I've never done anything like this before
00:37:38For me, if I'm slightly doubtful
00:37:45Once I grab the mic
00:37:46It's only one way
00:37:49I gotta go that way
00:37:51Or you're kind of super proud
00:37:52You just take charge
00:37:53Well, that's the mark of an entertainer
00:37:57That's a superstar
00:37:58Because you're going to figure it out
00:38:00Or you're not
00:38:00Hopefully I can impress the judges
00:38:02I will be giving it my absolute all
00:38:07Right this way
00:38:08Hi, how are you?
00:38:10I'm great

00:38:39No
00:38:40Arizona doesn't get, like, below 50
00:38:42All right, all right
00:38:43Just back up
00:38:44Tell us who you are
00:38:45And your age
00:38:46My name is Lonnie
00:38:47I'm 19 years old
00:38:49And I'm currently in high school
00:38:50Oh
00:38:51Yeah
00:38:52It was my first time on a plane
00:38:53Did your family come with you?
00:38:55What is
00:38:55Oh, I came alone
00:38:56Came alone
00:38:56Sorry, this is crazy
00:38:58My dad loves you
00:38:59I love you
00:38:59And I really like you
00:39:01I'm sorry
00:39:02Anyways, yeah
00:39:03I'm going to go ahead and start for you guys
00:39:05Because I'm taking up a lot of time
00:39:06Yeah, okay
00:39:07We're good
00:39:07We're learning about you
00:39:10So from Arizona to here
00:39:12What was the leap of faith?
00:39:13I mean, American Idol, come on
00:39:16My dad
00:39:18He's in the ICU right now
00:39:20So
00:39:22So this is all for him
00:39:23I'm doing this for him
00:39:25He believed in me
00:39:25And I'm here
00:39:26And I want this more than ever now
00:39:28Pick it up
00:39:30Pick it up
00:39:31I'm very insecure about my voice
00:39:34But my dad believed in me
00:39:35When nobody else did
00:39:37He saw it in me
00:39:38Even when I didn't see it myself
00:39:40You've got a second chance
00:39:41You could go home
00:39:43My dad is the kindest person in the world
00:39:45But at the same time
00:39:47He was struggling with addiction
00:39:49Since before I was born
00:39:52There were so many nights
00:39:53I would just cry from watching my dad stumble upstairs
00:39:56And he would say
00:40:03Tonight's going to be my last drink
00:40:05Every day
00:40:12Recently, he has been getting better
00:40:14Because he stopped
00:40:15But he now has liver failure
00:40:18And is currently awaiting a transplant
00:40:27I really want my dad to be in my future
00:40:30But this could be my last chance
00:40:33To show him his daughter tried for him
00:40:41I am going to be singing
00:40:43Tell Me You Love Me by Demi Lovato
00:40:44So I hope you guys like it
00:40:46Let's give it
00:40:47Okay

00:43:14Yeah
00:43:15Some people's journey to get here
00:43:17Is a lot harder than others
00:43:18And yours has been a hard one
00:43:21And you're just out here
00:43:23Being so real and open with us
00:43:26And you're not hiding anything
00:43:28You're not trying to be something
00:43:30You're not

00:43:33And I don't know
00:43:34There's just something really
00:43:35Really special about you
00:43:37How brave you are
00:43:38To get on a plane

00:49:56Yeah your character
00:49:57Everywhere she goes
00:49:58She's trying to sing

00:50:00And if they say no
00:50:01She's still going to sing
00:50:04I've never met a famous person

00:50:07I'm going to be like

00:59:59in our lives
00:59:59together as father and son
01:00:03I'm going to Hollywood baby
01:00:19I really want to tell stories
01:00:21I'm a storyteller with my music
01:00:23I've been writing songs as long as I can remember
01:00:26the first one was when I was like five
01:00:28so what are you going to do for us
01:00:30I'm going to play an original song that I wrote for my long distance friends
01:00:33and it's called long live the lost boys
01:00:36okay we're ready for you
01:00:41she was by the window with adventure in her eyes
01:00:46wondering while he's out there waiting on the other side
01:00:50and he said make my hand and I will teach you how to fly
01:00:55he said I
01:00:56I can see it in your eyes
01:00:59cause you're one of the misfits
01:01:01always doing things that they don't get
01:01:03tough from taking all of their worst hits
01:01:06cause you won't fit into their mold
01:01:09so long live the lost boys running home
01:01:12and never let them tame your soul
01:01:15long live the ones who never grow old
01:01:22that I'm going to tell you right now
01:01:24I'll buy the first copy
01:01:26I'm a fan of it doesn't fit
01:01:29it fits because it's you
01:01:31and your original song basically described you to a tee
01:01:35thank you
01:01:36it's a yes for me
01:01:37thank you so much
01:01:38you are super duper unique
01:01:42but I'm trying to see where you would fit
01:01:45in the context of artists today
01:01:48and it's like can we channel all of that uniqueness
01:01:52into something where you can be you and your artistry
01:01:56but it also just makes total sense to the listener
01:02:01I could be right or you could make me look real dumb someday
01:02:05I think I'm going to have to give you a no
01:02:07so Luke it is
01:02:10it's down to you sir
01:02:11what do we do with this little creative creature

01:16:14I'm 25 years old
01:16:15I come from Puerto Rico
01:16:17Puerto Rico
01:16:18but a few months ago
01:16:20I moved to California
01:16:21to pursue my music dream
01:16:23so when you moved here
01:16:24did you move to like
01:16:26Los Angeles
01:16:26I moved to Death Valley
01:16:28I work in Death Valley
01:16:29National Park
01:16:30Death Valley
01:16:31yes
01:16:31the hottest place
01:16:32on earth
01:16:33I stretched
01:16:35myself
01:16:37across
01:16:39four states
01:16:40new lands
01:16:42west coast
01:16:44where my
01:16:46dreams lay
01:16:47I've loved music
01:16:49since I was a little girl
01:16:50back home in Puerto Rico
01:16:52I really tried every route
01:16:54every way to be involved in music
01:16:57but I feel like I never quite fit in
01:17:00that industry
01:17:02I just didn't want to give up my dream
01:17:06I started searching on Google
01:17:09Jobs with Housing USA
01:17:10and this swapped up
01:17:12oh my gosh
01:17:13it was so different
01:17:15as of right now
01:17:16I work as a retail associate
01:17:18in the bike shop
01:17:19at Death Valley
01:17:20my job consists of
01:17:22doing reservations
01:17:24being the cashier
01:17:25telling people about
01:17:27all the sites
01:17:28they can go out
01:17:29and explore
01:17:29in the national park
01:17:31the plan was
01:17:32to save up money
01:17:33and then head to LA
01:17:35and keep pursuing music
01:17:36I really didn't know
01:17:38what I was getting myself into
