00:00:14Father, help your children
00:00:20And don't let them fall
00:00:24By the side of the road
00:00:32And teach them
00:00:36To love one another
00:00:41And heaven might find
00:00:46A place in their hearts
00:00:53Because Jesus is at home
00:01:00Yes, He is now
00:01:01He won't let you down
00:01:05And I know
00:01:11He's mine, he's mine, he's mine
00:01:15Oh, man, forever
00:01:21I want to follow your star
00:01:23Where it leads me

00:01:29I hope you don't mind
00:01:32I'm the one with you
00:01:34And talk with you
00:01:37And do all the things
00:01:40That you want me to do
00:01:44Jesus is the Lord
00:01:47I know
00:01:49And if you ask
00:01:51And if you ask
00:01:53I'll show you
00:01:55God in the world
00:01:57For a while
00:02:00For a while
00:02:01And if you ask

00:30:19Because this would be the chance
00:30:21For a lot of people to do like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:25I think that's going to differentiate you tonight
00:30:26A little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:31Yeah
00:30:32Have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow
00:30:37And expand and try new things
00:30:38And that's what you did with All Night Long
00:30:40Because we hadn't seen you do that yet
00:30:42And then, like I said, this got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back
00:30:49So you got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but just keep growing
00:30:54Keep growing
00:30:55Thank you, thank you
00:30:58It was actually a
00:31:00Like a high-five with a knee-up
00:31:02Kind of thing you did right there
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move
00:31:04Flexibility at his best
00:31:05So are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher
00:31:10And so I have to be serious
00:31:11Oh, that'll do it
00:31:12But what's the real you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit
00:31:14To be honest, I really don't have any sense
00:31:17For real
00:31:18So I can get really
00:31:19I can have a lot of fun
00:31:20So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more
00:31:22There you go

00:51:48When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
00:51:54When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
00:51:56Stuck in reverb
00:52:02The tears come streaming down your face
00:52:07When you lose something you can't replace
00:52:15Oh, when you drink
00:52:17Oh, when you love someone but it goes away
00:52:21Could it be worse?
00:52:31Lights will guide you home
00:52:37And ignite your bones
00:52:44And I will try to fix you
00:52:50To stream
00:52:53Down your face
00:52:56When you lose something

00:53:23And ignite your bones
00:53:30And I will try to fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done.
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential and star quality. And that gave me all of those
00:53:59vibes just then. Thank you so much. Just you and your guitar. Great song choice. Loved it. Thank you. What
00:54:05I'm loving most about. It's number one in everybody's category. What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane.
00:54:15And that was your lane clearly. Now what I want you to do on that.
00:54:19That is build on it. You've got your section. But this group right here, this 14 is a rough group
00:54:27here, babes. And so what I want you to understand is carve out your part. It's memorable. The listeners out
00:54:35there.
00:54:36Yes, sir. Thank you, Lionel. Thank you.
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one. I feel like you are on your way to really establishing like your
00:54:44own sound. You have a really great way of taking somebody else's song. And I mean, we first heard you
00:54:52singing your own stuff. But now we're kind of hearing you sing some covers. But you're really good at taking
00:54:57those songs and putting yourself in them. You're not trying to sound like the other artists, which is just really
00:55:01refreshing.
00:55:02Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Good to see you, buddy. And I know you were hanging out
00:55:09with some of the other finalists at the Dodgers game the other night.
00:55:12I went to the Dodgers Diamondbacks game with my boy Jake and Jesse. Yes. And they did. All right. They
00:55:17always do.
00:55:20They were over there and they were swaying to your song. We saw them. Thank you, guys. And I'm moving
00:55:24along to that.

00:58:12Kendall, I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:24You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself. And I said, let it go. My goodness.
00:58:35It it is a testament to what you're doing. I want you to understand now the competition is I can't
00:58:41say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying if you get it through, bring me more of that. OK, bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist and I do not for the life of me know how you are not like
00:58:57super duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know because that's how the Lord works. And you're here for this time right now.
00:59:09That was that was incredible. You are such an artist.
00:59:13You are so professional and like, I don't know. I'm just in awe watching you. It's amazing. Thank you.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you like is someone that's kind of timid and we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid. I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your
00:59:38voice.
00:59:38Listen, you just let it all happen and just keep doing that. And I think you're doing that just because,
00:59:44yeah, you've got these artist qualities are just pouring out of you.
00:59:49And we just saw that happen.
00:59:51Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:54So I've noticed that you like to sing in your.
00:59:57Oh, no, no.
00:59:58In your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs.
01:00:02I mean, we're not going to show the world they're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right. Well, use mine as an example, then what are you supposed to cover Ron's with the dress?
01:00:13Oh, there you go.
01:00:14What are you what are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:19It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah, I like to. I'm taking over the table.
01:00:22All right.
01:00:23All right. Let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.
01:00:27I feel like the size of a Keebler elf right now.

01:01:33But with a 90s twist and calling all millennials, we've got a TGIF reunion with some of your favorite stars
01:01:41live on this stage.
01:01:42I know I'm excited.
01:01:44So don't miss it.
01:01:46Now with a number one from Christian rock band Mercy Me, it's Jordan McCullough.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52I'm a performer in church and I didn't know that any of this was a possibility outside of the choir
01:01:57stand.
01:01:58Let the universe say amen.
01:02:01You're a powerhouse singer.
01:02:03You keep surprising me.
01:02:05I've tried many things, but I feel like I finally have found what I'm looking for.
01:02:12I can only imagine what it'd be like when I walk by your side.
01:02:24I can only imagine when that day comes and I find myself standing in the sun.
01:02:45I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you.
01:02:59Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel?
01:03:05Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still?
01:03:11Will I stand in your presence to my knees?
01:03:17Will I fall?
01:03:18Will I sing hallelujah?
01:03:22Will I be able to sing it all?
01:03:28What will I be here?
01:03:30Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still?
01:03:37Will I sing in your presence, or in awe of you be still with me, will I sing, hallelujah?
01:03:48Will I be able to sing it all?
01:03:51I can only imagine.
01:03:56I can only imagine.
01:03:58I can only imagine.
01:04:02I can only imagine.
01:04:33God bless you.
01:04:36Every time we see you, you have the ability to, like, bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:43And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:47And that's just a craft.
01:04:51It's an art that you have.
01:04:53And that was another notch up the ladder.
01:04:56Thank you so much.
01:04:59And I'll make it very short.
01:05:02Will the congregation please say amen?
01:05:06Amen.
01:05:08Amen.
01:05:12This is your lane.
01:05:13This is what you do.
01:05:15That's it.
01:05:15As a worship director.
01:05:17Every single Sunday, right?
01:05:18Right.
01:05:18This feels like church to me.
01:05:20Yeah.
01:05:21I mean, the only thing different is, like, maybe Ronnie here on a steady camera.
01:05:26Other than that, it's like being at Zeal Church, isn't it?
01:05:28It's cool right there.
01:05:28I like that.
01:05:29Yeah, well.
01:05:30Oh, look at that.
01:05:30Keep looking.

01:18:53Yeah, yeah, Chris, your audition, we heard things that just showed so much promise
01:19:00And you've been giving them to us the whole time, but just little bitty snippets of them.
01:19:05Well, that song was like you from top to bottom and that's what we want from you and that's the
01:19:11vision we saw.

01:20:03sending me Bible verses and love.
01:20:05And I just feel so blessed.
01:20:07And the Holy Spirit was here tonight.
01:20:08I mean, look at my friends over there.
01:20:10This is crazy.
01:20:12Not only that, I hear you.
01:20:13They ordered food the other night and the delivery driver recognized you.
01:20:17Yeah, that was, I opened the door and I'm in my pajamas and she's like, I know who you are.
01:20:23I was like, who am I?

01:26:35is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes,
01:26:39this is probably the most diverse.
01:26:41When I say that,
01:26:42I mean from every imaginable
01:26:45configuration of genre.
01:26:46You all have managed
01:26:48to sparkle us again
01:26:49to the point where we don't know
01:26:51where you're coming from.
01:26:52All Martians are in this class.

01:26:58you've done this before.
01:26:59How does the competition shift
01:27:02once we go live on the stage?
01:27:04I mean,
01:27:04there's definitely,
01:27:05there's pressure throughout,
01:27:06but it's just a different
01:27:07kind of pressure.
01:27:08You are live.
01:27:09But then,
01:27:10it also gives people
01:27:11the chance to rise
01:27:12to the occasion
01:27:13and show us what they got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke,

01:27:24and just pick the people
01:27:26that pick the artists

01:27:30make you laugh,
01:27:31make you cry.
