00:05:24Let's go
00:05:29My performance last week did not go very well
00:05:32Don't be safe
00:05:33I know it feels good to be safe
00:05:35But don't be safe
00:05:36I've never performed like ever in my life until the show
00:05:39So I have a lot of questions
00:05:41You got this far, you must be doing something right
00:05:43Yeah, well, I don't know
00:05:43I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner
00:05:46You're as cold as ice
00:05:48It's a really hard song
00:05:50That's good, you're challenging yourself
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site
00:05:55My boss, he always plays like rock hits
00:05:57Chris is a great guy, very cool voice
00:06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:05Someday you'll pay
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that
00:06:10Make it like a
00:06:11That's good
00:06:12You're gonna pay
00:06:13Yeah
00:06:13Plus if you save it for that other time, it's really good
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody, this is like, this is really unique
00:06:20So, uh, how are we sitting with the key?
00:06:23Uh, are we sure we don't want to go down in half?
00:06:25We could try it
00:06:27Someday you'll pay
00:06:30There you go
00:06:30Dad made all the difference at half-step
00:06:32Thank you
00:06:32There's a lot of pressure, the live shows, there's millions of people watching
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Chris's last performance wasn't up to where he wanted it to be
00:06:39So this one's really important
00:06:41Cold as ice, he's gotta bring it
00:06:43Thank you

00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front
00:09:49You kind of kept it down
00:09:50Kind of your style
00:09:51And then you got back to what the song originally is
00:09:55And you brought the energy
00:09:56And you just gave us a lot
00:09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you
00:09:59Did you have something blowing on your hair?
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans

00:13:00I feel like my life is like living
00:13:02The impossible dream at times
00:13:10You think you're the best that we can find in America?

00:13:30She'll be mentoring the finalists
00:13:32And taking a seat on the panel
00:13:34Along with Carrie, Luke, and Lionel
00:13:37It will be a magical night on our stage
00:13:39And it all starts at 8, 7 central next Monday
00:13:44Now here's Pat and Neil
00:13:46Giving their expert advice on Adonis summer classes by Ray
00:13:49Take a look
00:13:54My mom is the biggest Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo fan
00:14:00My mom was a singer
00:14:03She sang Pat Benatar
00:14:06Hey mom
00:14:07Hi mom
00:14:08Yeah
00:14:09Stop, don't cry
00:14:11Don't cry
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom
00:14:13She's doing great
00:14:15She's doing great
00:14:15Oh my gosh
00:14:16Really meant a lot
00:14:18To me and to her
00:14:20I love you mommy
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
00:14:25I am singing MacArthur Park by Donna Summer
00:14:28I saw that Carrie did MacArthur Park on her season of American Idol
00:14:33Like this is my sign to do the song
00:14:37So this week I really have to bring it
00:14:40Last week I was actually in the bottom two
00:14:43And Lionel Richie saved me
00:14:45My answer is Ray
00:14:46I definitely feel the pressure
00:14:48And I am so grateful
00:14:49To sing on the stage again
00:14:51So I got to do it justice
00:14:53Again
00:14:56One suggestion maybe
00:14:58Is very powerful, right?
00:15:00Is there a way to do something where you're very powerful
00:15:02And then do something where it's very quiet
00:15:04So it gets really soulful
00:15:06Yeah, like at the very end
00:15:07So I'm like
00:15:08Oh my gosh
00:15:10If you hold that last note a little longer
00:15:12And just let it fade away
00:15:13Maybe move the mic away
00:15:15Oh my gosh
00:15:18You know what?
00:15:19No one can do what you can do
00:15:21So you just play with it, enjoy it
00:15:23And we'll get you out of that bottom
00:15:25Yes!
00:15:25We have it in there
00:15:26You will find it and bring it today
00:15:28Thank you guys
00:15:28Yes, you're welcome
00:15:35Spring was never waiting for a steer
00:15:41It ran one step ahead
00:15:44As we followed in the dance
00:15:48The Carpheus Park is melting in the dark
00:15:54All the sweet green icing
00:15:57Blowing down
00:16:00Someone left the cake out in the rain
00:16:04I don't think that I can take it
00:16:10Cause it took so long to bake it
00:16:13And I'll never have that recipe again
00:16:19Oh no
00:16:23Oh no
00:16:25Oh no
00:16:28I've become the yellow contrast
00:16:33Forming like a nail
00:16:36On the ground beneath your feet
00:16:42The pot of pot gets melting in the dark
00:16:47All the sweet green icing
00:16:50All the sweet green icing
00:16:51Blowing down
00:16:53Someone left the cake out in the rain
00:16:58I don't think that I can take it
00:17:04Cause it took so long to bake it
00:17:07And I'll never have that recipe again

00:27:00brooks
00:27:01coming into this week definitely more confident
00:27:04how are you
00:27:04nice to see you
00:27:05i think this is a good song for me to kind of express some of the feelings that i have
00:27:09being vulnerable in front of people and kind of just letting loose
00:27:12what are you singing today
00:27:13uh these days by jackson brown
00:27:15i was a shy kid and i grew up trying to be independent
00:27:18just kind of staying in my own lane
00:27:20and that's what it means to me
00:27:22don't do that much talking these days
00:27:26yeah you close your eyes what do you got going on when you're doing that
00:27:31i see shapes and colors when i close my eyes
00:27:33depending on the mood of the song
00:27:36it's kind of hard to explain because i'm colorblind
00:27:39but when i close my eyes and sing i see the music rather than hear it
00:27:44if i feel that it's like happy it's usually brighter
00:27:47and the shapes are like bolder
00:27:51if i were to hear something really sad it would be darker
00:27:56you're tapping into some really some spiritual stuff going on my man i'm telling you
00:28:00the blessing that the audience is going to get from hearing him sing that song
00:28:04that's power
00:28:05he's such a sweet soul
00:28:07i just think that what he is and what he has is just something really special
00:28:10well done
00:28:11thank you
00:28:27oh i've been out walking
00:28:32i don't do that much talking these days
00:28:39these days these days these days i seem to think a lot about the things that i forgot to do
00:28:52for you
00:28:57and all the times i had the chance to
00:29:02and all the times i had the chance to
00:29:27but i learned the chance to try to get a lot wrong
00:29:27now if i seem to be afraid to live the life that i've made in song
00:29:38Oh, it's just that I've been losing
00:29:44For so long
00:29:50Oh, I keep on moving
00:29:56Things are bound to be improving
00:29:59These days
00:30:04These days
00:30:10These days
00:30:27Alright, I'm just going to tell it to you like it is
00:30:31God has given you your blessing, which is your voice
00:30:36It is one of the greatest unique sounds that you can ever ask for
00:30:43And you're wearing it well
00:30:45I'm telling you, I love what you just said
00:30:46Thank you so much
00:30:49I didn't want the song to end

00:36:58Is a book you've got out, right?
00:37:00Yeah
00:37:01Tell me about it
00:37:01We have grandbabies
00:37:02I can't believe it
00:37:03I know that
00:37:04We have grandbabies
00:37:05And they're trying to figure out
00:37:06What we really do
00:37:08Besides take them to Target
00:37:09What's the answer?
00:37:10What do you really do?
00:37:11Well, we don't know
00:37:14And you're going out on tour
00:37:15With Brian Adams, Pat?
00:37:16Yes, we're going out this summer
00:37:17Again with Brian Adams
00:37:23Here's Pat Neal leading the way
00:37:26With Daniel Stallworth
00:37:27Take a look
00:37:29You're great
00:37:30Hello, Daniel
00:37:31How are you doing?
00:37:32Good to see you guys
00:37:33Doing well
00:37:35This round was definitely
00:37:37The hardest time I've had
00:37:39Choosing a song
00:37:40I'll be performing
00:37:41Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on
00:37:45To what we've got
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this
00:37:49This is my very first time
00:37:51Performing a rock song
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the dots
00:37:56I forgot the word
00:37:57I can't believe this is happening right now
00:38:00I feel like I made a few mistakes in there
00:38:02Living on a Prayer
00:38:09What's that high note?
00:38:10What is that note?
00:38:12Are you worried about that note?
00:38:14That's what I want to know
00:38:15Maybe so, yes
00:38:15Okay, so if you are
00:38:16What I've got to do
00:38:17Is super really high thing
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this
00:38:21Try going like this
00:38:24Because when you go up
00:38:25You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power
00:38:31Than you ever need
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon up to that point
00:38:34People remember intros
00:38:35And you remember endings
00:38:37And he's got to deliver that end
00:38:38Going into the performance
00:38:40I have a lot to work on
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition
00:38:44It will mean the world to me
00:38:45And I want it to be
00:38:47One of the best performances
00:38:49That I've delivered
00:38:50And I'm just going to keep working harder
00:38:51So I can get there
00:38:57She said we've got to hold on
00:39:01To what we've got
00:39:03Doesn't make a difference
00:39:06If we make it or not
00:39:08We've got each other
00:39:10And that's a life for love
00:39:15We'll give it a shot
00:39:18Come on put some hands together
00:39:20Come on
00:39:21Tommy used to work on the dark
00:39:26Union's been no strife
00:39:28He's down on his luck
00:39:53She said we've got to hold on
00:39:57To what we've got to hold on
00:40:00It doesn't make a difference
00:40:02If we make it or not
00:40:04We've got each other
00:40:06And that's a life for love
00:40:10We'll give it a shot
00:40:13Oh, we're halfway there
00:40:17Oh, living on a prayer
00:40:21Take my hand
00:40:23We'll make it I swear
00:40:25Oh, living on a prayer
00:40:30Living on a prayer
00:40:34Living on a prayer
00:40:37We've got to hold on
00:40:40To what we like
00:40:44We've got to hold on
00:40:45To what we like
00:40:48We've got to hold on
00:40:50To what we like
00:40:51Take my hand
00:40:53We'll make it I swear
00:40:55Oh, living on a prayer

00:44:53She's ready to bring the heat
00:44:54She's ready to bring the thunder
00:44:56She's ready to bring the wonder
00:44:58It's Kila Richardson
00:45:05Talk to us about this last performance
00:45:08At the end of the judges song contest
00:45:10I looked up and saw Drew
00:45:11And it made me really emotional
00:45:12The next person through
00:45:15Is Kila
00:45:19It's been a tough week
00:45:20But I didn't think I was gonna make it through
00:45:22But I made it through
00:45:24The emotional release
00:45:25That means you gave it everything
00:45:27That's what I did
00:45:28And that's exactly what you gotta do
00:45:29With Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
00:45:31Here I am
00:45:31I'm signed, sealed, delivered
00:45:33I'm yours
00:45:34I would love to see you sing that song
00:45:38To your boy
00:45:40Oh my gosh
00:45:41I mean, I could really feel that
00:45:43I would love to be singing that
00:45:44To my two grown daughters
00:45:46You know what I mean?
00:45:47Yes, yes
00:45:48Here I am, baby
00:45:50So I do the living, I'm your dear
00:45:53Yeah
00:45:53Yeah, that's it
00:45:55She ran through it
00:45:56And she did a great job
00:45:57But it was
00:45:58It was like Stevie Wonder's version
00:46:00So, Degan, you gotta twist it up a little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if we could do an intro singing verse
00:46:06As a ballad, slow
00:46:08Like, in other words, second verse

00:52:45Elton John, Lucas Leon, take a look.
00:52:49This is the most excited thing I've ever done.
00:52:52Well, it's not that much stuff that you've done already.
00:52:55And you're only 17?
00:52:5718.
00:52:58No, we're in the fourth quarter, I'm just telling you right now.
00:53:00We're in the fourth quarter.
00:53:00We're 70s in the fourth quarter.
00:53:02That's okay.
00:53:03It's always good to know where you're at.
00:53:05So Lucas is a young dude, man.
00:53:06I'm always impressed that they're out there doing it.
00:53:11Hey kids, shake it loose together, the spotlight's hitting something that's been done to change the weather.
00:53:17So why did you choose Benny and the Jets?
00:53:20I'm a country-ish artist, I'd like to say, and I've done some pretty safe picks.
00:53:25But this round, I just kind of want to loosen up a little bit and do something nobody really saw
00:53:31coming.
00:53:33That's great.
00:53:34Fantastic.
00:53:35I would have never expected that rasp to come out of use.
00:53:37The intro of this song, could you just kind of like, maybe like, some kind of just...
00:53:45More activity up high.
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone, even though it is horrifyingly scary, it is so important to do.
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it, it really gets you so far.
00:54:02The thing that I'm most nervous about for this performance...
00:54:05That's better.
00:54:07Is, uh, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it up and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table
00:54:11this week,
00:54:12I'm wondering how much is too much.
00:54:14Work on it, see if it comes to you.
00:54:15Yeah, we're getting there.
00:54:16Yeah, you'll get there.
00:54:18Surprising.
00:54:28Hey, kids, shake it loose together, the spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather.
00:54:35We'll kill the fatty cat tonight, so stick around.
00:54:41You're gonna hear the electric music, solid walls of sound.
00:54:48Yeah, Kenny and Ronnie, every scene to him, yeah.
00:54:52Oh, but the soul's pissed out.
00:54:54With the band and the chants.

00:55:40Oh, but the weird and the wonderful.
00:55:43Oh, P-P-Penny and the Chants.
00:55:46She's got a electric boot.
00:55:48A money suit.

00:58:40that's fun this is like I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone but kind of doesn't sound like it
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens message in a bottle was one where she could be more of like a
00:58:57performing

01:02:27Kendall, you have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30Or you wouldn't be standing here on this stage
01:02:31I just kind of felt like you gave up on yourself a little bit towards the end
01:02:35Like it was like, started out energetic
01:02:36And then it just kind of deflated
01:02:38Like the more you went, you started turning around more
01:02:40And I was like, where's she going? What's she doing?
01:02:43But it was, it was more about like your attitude toward it

01:04:03He is still riding high off last week's triumph
01:04:07Can he deliver again with some platinum, a foreigner
01:04:10It's Philman Lee
01:04:14Philman had the most surprising arrangement
01:04:18You said it was his big breakout moment
01:04:20It was
01:04:20It really felt like it in the room
01:04:22It was
01:04:23That was incredible and electric
01:04:25Nice to meet you
01:04:26Going into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:04:28I definitely feel like my confidence has gotten a lot better
01:04:31So, insurance and rock and roll
01:04:34Insurance was just paying the bills
01:04:35Hey, I was a bank teller
01:04:37Oh, wow
01:04:38Yeah
01:04:38Yeah, I worked on the docks
01:04:39Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-blooded by Foreigner
01:04:43When I'm hot-blooded
01:04:45Take it and see
01:04:47I think that a lot of times
01:04:49Especially young people
01:04:50They think that
01:04:51The higher they can get it
01:04:53That delivers some kind of power
01:04:55And it doesn't
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice
01:04:58Yeah, it's great
01:04:58The rasp is great
01:04:59Thank you
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step
01:05:02Because it just sounds like
01:05:03When you're singing
01:05:04You're not really comfortable getting that note
01:05:06So you're backing off the mic
01:05:14Way better
01:05:15And just bringing it down enough
01:05:16Gives them enough confidence
01:05:18And they're able to do it
01:05:19Let me talk to you
01:05:20About singing this song
01:05:21Okay
01:05:21So
01:05:22You are singing this to a female
01:05:24Like you better be saying like
01:05:25Come on baby
01:05:26Do you do more than dance?
01:05:29You know what I mean?
01:05:29Oh man
01:05:29What would I do if I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over you
01:05:33Oh man
01:05:34I started something
01:05:35I'm laughing
01:05:37I'm laughing
01:05:43Oh man
01:05:47I'm laughing
01:05:48I'm hot blooded
01:05:51I take it and see
01:05:52I got the fever of a hundred degrees
01:05:56Come on baby
01:05:58Do you do more than dance?
01:06:01I'm hot blooded
01:06:02I'm bleeding
01:06:07You don't have to read my mind
01:06:11Know what I have in mind
01:06:14Honey, you ought to know
01:06:20Yeah, you move so fine
01:06:24Let me play it on the line
01:06:28Hey, I want to know
01:06:30What you're doing
01:06:31Have to show
01:06:36Now it's up to you
01:06:38We can make a steeper rendezvous
01:06:44Just me and you
01:06:46I'll show you nothing like you never knew
01:06:51That's why I'm bloody
01:06:54Take it to sea
01:06:56I got a fever
01:06:58But I'm trying to breathe
01:07:00Come on, baby
01:07:02Do you do more than that
01:07:04I'm high-blooded
01:07:06High-blooded
01:07:08High-blooded
01:07:10Check it to sea
01:07:12I'm gonna feel it
01:07:14I'm a hundred feet
01:07:16Come on, baby
01:07:18Do you do more than that
01:07:20High-blooded
01:07:22High-blooded
01:07:23High-blooded
01:07:26High-blooded
01:07:27High-blooded
01:07:47Tonight, those are the kind of songs
01:07:48I'm thinking we're gonna hear
01:07:49Great song choice
01:07:50Listen, you know, just next time too
01:07:53Just don't be scared to just be in the character of everything
01:07:57I think your in-ear monitor was kind of messing with you a little bit
01:08:00And it was throwing yunk
01:08:01Slid off a little bit
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there
01:08:03Get through that and get back to like embodying what that song is
01:08:07I even wanted to see your hair get messed up a little bit
01:08:10I think I got too much product for this thing to fall loose
01:08:13I totally agree
01:08:14Listen, there's singing and then there's performing
01:08:18You follow me?
01:08:19And so what we were waiting for was
01:08:21Right after you mess with that ear
01:08:22Then you started looking at us
01:08:24Which means you're looking at America
01:08:26They're falling in love with you
01:08:27You gotta look at us
01:08:28That's the thing you want them to do
01:08:32Such a great song for your voice
01:08:34Like nailed it vocally
01:08:36I still want to see some more swagger coming
01:08:40Come on
01:08:41I got you, I got you
01:08:41It's in there
01:08:42It's in there
01:08:43Bring it
01:08:43More, more, more
01:08:44I got you
01:08:44More, more

01:09:38Don't move
01:09:39We'll be right back
01:09:41We got it in ya
01:09:49Look at this
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol
01:09:52Big hello right now to Danielle Fischel
01:09:54And Idol's OG rocker, Constantine Maroulos
01:09:58Good to see you brother
01:10:00Good to see you again
01:10:01You can catch Sam breaking down all of tonight's rock and roll action on the American Idol official podcast
01:10:07This Wednesday on Hulu and Disney Plus
01:10:09And wherever you get your podcasts
01:10:12Now, here's the Meaning of the Minds with Pat, Neal, and Hannah
01:10:21Heads Carolina, Tails California
01:10:23Okay, Jodi Messina
01:10:24Last week I got online and I saw Jodi Messina watching me sing her song
01:10:28Okay, Hannah, you're not allowed to sing it better than me
01:10:30That is so cool
01:10:32Rock and roll hall of fame week had me a little bit nervous
01:10:34I did not grow up with rock and roll music in my household at all
01:10:37Your family was, they were musicians or singers?
01:10:40Bluegrass, full time, we lived on a bus
01:10:41Nice
01:10:42Oh, bluegrass, I love bluegrass
01:10:44I decided to sing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac
01:10:46Took my love and I took it down
01:10:49Hannah's like a little bird
01:10:51She has a beautiful voice
01:10:53I kind of forgot I had a guitar on me there for a minute
01:10:55I was like, oh yeah, I got to play this thing
01:10:56No, but it was kind of cool you didn't
01:10:58I say not playing a guitar in the beginning
01:11:00Yeah, I loved where we came in
01:11:01Second half
01:11:02Yeah
01:11:02Hannah represents pureness in family and music
01:11:06You have kids, right?
01:11:08Two daughters
01:11:09Did you travel with your kids?
01:11:10You bet
01:11:11We never traveled without them
01:11:12It's very difficult
01:11:13She's got a lot on her plate
01:11:15She's trying to do something really important
01:11:17At the same time there are sacrifices to be made
01:11:19Still praying for a bus right now
01:11:20We're just working out of a van with my three kids
01:11:23Oh, you need a bus
01:11:24You need the bus
01:11:25It definitely scares me going into the business as a mom
01:11:28Like right now my husband is here full time with me
01:11:30Taking care of my kids while I'm doing this
01:11:32So that's the hardest part right now
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard
01:11:37But if Pat did it, I can do it
01:11:38Do you have any other questions or any thoughts?
01:11:40Yeah, she's a pro
01:11:42Not off the top of my head
01:11:42You can't scare her
01:11:43She's got three kids
01:11:51I took my love and I took it down
01:11:57I climbed a mountain and I turned around
01:12:02And I saw my reflection in a snow-covered hill
01:12:10Till the landslide brought me down
01:12:14Oh, a mirror in the sky
01:12:19What is it for?
01:12:21Can the child within my heart
01:12:26Rise above
01:12:28Can I sail through the changing ocean tide
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life
01:12:44Oh
01:12:51Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:12:56Cause I built my life around you
01:13:03But time makes you bolder
01:13:08Even children get older
01:13:11And I'm getting older
01:13:15And I'm getting older too
01:13:16Oh, I'm getting older too
01:13:24Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:57That was a classic song
01:14:01With a classic performance
01:14:04Amazing
01:14:06Hannah, absolutely gorgeous
01:14:08Like, perfect song for you to choose
01:14:10And just the way
01:14:11I mean, I know we say
01:14:12You made it your own
01:14:12But it, I mean, it sounded
01:14:14It sounded like you
01:14:15It was beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it made me forget
01:14:22I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like
01:14:25I mean, it was like
01:14:26I was at a performance
01:14:27At an awards show
01:14:28It was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, Luke
01:14:31I appreciate it
01:14:34As they said
01:14:35And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:39We were all drawn into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work for that
01:14:44Appreciate it
01:14:46Praying for a bus

01:15:12One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:18Live right after this
01:15:32We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:37And we're closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest bands
01:15:41Of all time
01:15:42Queen
01:15:43It's coming from
01:15:45Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I'm going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love
01:15:51By Queen
01:15:52Which morning I get up
01:15:54I die a little
01:15:56Don't tell anyone
01:15:57But I just heard it
01:15:58For the first time yesterday
01:15:59And I kind of started
01:16:00To lose myself in the song
01:16:01Then when I opened my eyes
01:16:02And looked at them
01:16:03I lost everything
01:16:04I'm sorry
01:16:05Can I get the words actually?
01:16:07I don't want to put the song right
01:16:09I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself
01:16:14In rock and roll
01:16:15And I feel like me
01:16:16As a worship leader
01:16:17And predominantly singing
01:16:19You know gospel music
01:16:20You don't always see that
01:16:21In rock and roll
01:16:22Your motion
01:16:23On the stage
01:16:24You have to be
01:16:25That worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment
01:16:28In church
01:16:28You have to command
01:16:30That stage
01:16:31Okay
01:16:35Jordan's instrument
01:16:36Is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples
01:16:39Of a person
01:16:39Who literally
01:16:41Has control of the instrument
01:16:42And all you're going to do
01:16:43Is you're going to put those
01:16:44Last little bits in there
01:16:45Just to tweak it a little bit
01:16:46Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat Neal told me
01:16:49To move around the stage
01:16:50And gave some really
01:16:51Really cool advice
01:16:52On how to command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself too much
01:16:56Yeah
01:16:58The power in his voice
01:16:59Is just sensational
01:17:01Okay that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well damn
01:17:03What the hell
01:17:05Okay I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore ever
01:17:07That's worth it
01:17:07I felt like I was in church
01:17:13Can anybody find me
01:17:17Somebody to love
01:17:27Each morning I get up
01:17:30I die
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:33Take a look
01:17:35Look in the mirror
01:17:37And cry
01:17:38Lord what you do in me
01:17:40Spin all my ears
01:17:42Believe in you
01:17:44I just can't hear no relief
