00:05:50I don't know what happened to you in Hawaii, but let the congregation say amen.
00:06:03You delivered.
00:06:05Fantastic.
00:06:06Thank you so much.
00:06:08Thank y'all.
00:06:12What can you say after that?
00:06:14He killed.
00:06:15My man met the Holy Ghost up in here, brother.
00:06:17He ate levy.
00:06:19No crumbs.
00:06:20Not one crumbs.
00:06:21Not one crumbs.
00:06:21Not nothing.
00:06:23He never ceases to amaze.
00:06:25There's no stage that's too big for him.
00:06:28Jordan got a platinum ticket.
00:06:30If he didn't, then people are crazy.
00:07:01So the hopefuls are excited for Jordan.
00:07:03He's dancing with the star's finalist and international choreographer.
00:07:08Lauren Gray has made a name for herself with her online notoriety and worldwide reach.
00:07:14Anthony Gargiula is known for his crazy countertop riffs and viral kitchen collabs.
00:07:22And with her finger on the pulse of the music industry for over two decades, Rolling Stone co-editor in
00:07:29chief Shirley Halperin.
00:07:31Y'all access host and country music aficionado Kelly Sutton is a global media personality.
00:07:37And TikTok power couple Terry and Kanaya are beloved for their unfiltered reaction videos and infectious energy.
00:07:47I think the industry experts are going to be incredibly impressed at the talent that we have in our top
00:07:5530.
00:07:56We only get one platinum ticket to give away.
00:07:59So let's see if we all agree.
00:08:04I don't know how I'm going to vote like everyone's.
00:08:07Me either.
00:08:08One person going home from this group, let alone ten people, is just like...
00:08:11And it's heartbreaking.
00:08:12It's going to raise my heart on my chest.
00:08:17We have Mary Jo and Chloe duking it out.
00:08:21Who wants to go first?
00:08:23Hollywood week, I had to do singles.
00:08:25That was hard for me.
00:08:27Oh, you did so good.
00:08:28Chloe, you're in our top 30.
00:08:31What?
00:08:31You're in our top 30!
00:08:3330!
00:08:33I feel pressure for this cut because I can't stop here.
00:08:37I've already made it to this point.
00:08:41Hey, buddy.
00:08:42Hey.
00:08:43Good night, Mama.
00:08:44I miss you.
00:08:45When I think about Ohana, I think about Kifton.
00:08:49And when I get home, we're going to play with all your trucks.
00:08:52Yeah.
00:08:52I miss him.
00:08:53I just miss him.
00:08:54I wish he could be here to see all of this.
00:08:58I don't know.
00:09:01Good night!
00:09:04Today I'm going to sing Hello by Adele.
00:09:08I'm dedicating this to my son.
00:09:19You got it.
00:09:20You got it.
00:09:22You got this!
00:09:25Hello.
00:09:26Hello.
00:09:28It's me.
00:09:31I was wondering if after all these years you liked to me.
00:09:37To go over everything
00:09:43I've forgotten how we felt before
00:09:47The world fell at our feet
00:09:50There's such a difference
00:09:53Between eyes and a million miles
00:10:03Hello from near
00:10:06Hello from near
00:10:09Keep going, keep going
00:10:11Come on, come on, come on, come on, keep going
00:10:13She's got to start controlling her emotions
00:10:20I'm dedicating this to my son
00:10:23And a million miles
00:10:29Hello from near
00:10:32Hello from near
00:10:34Keep going, keep going
00:10:36Keep going, keep going
00:10:38Come on, come on, come on, come on
00:10:39I can say that I tried
00:10:43To tell you who I'm sorry
00:10:46For breaking your heart
00:10:49But it don't matter really
00:10:52Doesn't tear you apart anymore
00:11:02Anymore
00:11:11You're here because we love your voice
00:11:15It is not about the little things that can go wrong during the performance
00:11:20It really is how you shove it aside and finish strong
00:11:25Because you got back on that horse and took off real quick
00:11:28Way to finish strong
00:11:29There you go
00:11:34I think I just got lost in myself a little bit
00:11:38You were so good
00:11:39Baby, congratulations
00:11:41Thank you
00:11:42Baby, you did that comeback, honey
00:11:44Thank you
00:11:45I'm so glad I got to meet y'all
00:11:46You should be proud of yourself
00:11:47You should be proud of yourself
00:11:52Performing for all these people that can really make a difference in my life
00:11:55It's pretty nerve-wracking
00:11:58Check your one, two
00:12:00I'm looking forward to this guy
00:12:02He can sing
00:12:03What's up, everybody?
00:12:04My name is Lucas Leon
00:12:05I'm 18
00:12:06I'm going to be singing
00:12:07The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert
00:12:09My parents are here tonight
00:12:11And they're who really built me
00:12:13This one goes out to my family
00:12:20You know they say
00:12:22You can't go home again
00:12:28Oh, I just had to come back one last time
00:12:33Ma'am, I know
00:12:35You don't know me for matter
00:12:39But these handprints on the front steps are mine
00:12:45I thought if I could touch this place
00:12:48Oh, I'm feeling
00:12:51This brokenness inside me might start healing
00:12:56You leave home and you move on
00:13:00And you do the best you can
00:13:02I got lost in this old world
00:13:06I forgot who I am
00:13:14I thought if I could touch this place
00:13:18Oh, I'm feeling
00:13:21This brokenness inside me might start healing
00:13:25Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:13:27I'll hear it till I come to someone else
00:13:30I thought that maybe I could find myself
00:13:38If I could just come in
00:13:41I swear I'll leave
00:13:43Won't sing nothing but a memory
00:13:47From the house that built me
00:13:56From the house that built me
00:14:01Oh, my God

00:24:18Oh my gosh, there are so many parallels with your voice and Dolly and just, it's just so beautifully country.
00:24:36But just remember that key that you got to at the end and really live in that space because your
00:24:40voice really opened up there.
00:24:42you've got the goods and that was uh your voice is so beautiful to me
00:24:46appreciate it thank you
00:24:48got that straight authentic mountain voice boy
00:24:53you can definitely see that she was missing something because she usually
00:24:56plays the guitar but i don't know i think she really
00:25:00delivered it and she felt like she was herself i mean obviously everybody can
00:25:04sing because they're here but there's gonna only be a handful that
00:25:07can make it to that star quality you know
00:25:10say that again what did you what did you just no what did you say it was
00:25:13important i said would you go for the best singer or would you go for someone

00:30:05Yeah.

00:30:11If the tide takes California
00:30:16I'm so glad I got to hold ya
00:30:20My family has always been by my side throughout my entire music journey, so it's really exciting to do this
00:30:27Ohana rap.
00:30:37My parents have always sacrificed so much time and everything for this and it means so much to me that
00:30:43they're here right now and doing all this. It really means a lot.
00:30:45If the tide takes California, I'm so glad I got to know ya And if the sky falls from heaven
00:30:58above, oh I know I had the best time falling into love
00:31:09And for a while you were all mine
00:31:12And for a while you were all mine
00:31:13I spent a lifetime giving you my heart
00:31:18I swear that I'll be yours forever
00:31:20I'll be yours forever
00:31:22I'll be yours forever
00:31:28I'll be yours forever
00:31:30Till forever falls apart
00:31:36I'll be yours forever
00:31:37You were all mine
00:31:38Oh my god
00:31:38I'll be yours forever
00:31:40Thank you so much
00:31:42Breath of fresh air
00:31:53Breath of fresh air
00:32:00Let's please give it up for Brian Thomas.
00:32:06I can't point a finger at anyone I don't think is going to make it to the top 20, which
00:32:10makes it so scary.
00:32:12This next song goes out to all the people that we've had to leave behind in order to pursue our
00:32:17dreams.
00:32:18For this round, I'll be singing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
00:32:20This song is kind of about change.
00:32:23I just recently moved to South Florida in the pursuit of love.
00:32:27I hardly see anyone now. I kind of lost my family.
00:32:30It's just one of those seasons of life.
00:32:34Hey, bud. I'm super proud of you.
00:32:38I know how you've been dreaming about this your whole life.
00:32:42Having you here and just getting to spend the time.
00:32:50I miss you.
00:32:52I miss you. I miss being home.
00:32:55I love you with all my heart.
00:32:57I love you too.
00:33:06Well, I've been afraid of changing
00:33:12Cause I've built my life around you
00:33:19Great. I'm praying for you.
00:33:21Jay.
00:33:22But time made you older
00:33:25Even children get older
00:33:29And I'm getting older too
00:33:36Ooh, so take my love
00:33:40Take it down
00:33:45Caught the mountain and turn around
00:33:50And if you see my reflection in the snow-colored hair
00:34:03Maybe the Landslide will bring it down
00:34:09Oh, the Landslide brought me down
00:34:21Oh, the Landslide brought me down
00:34:39I remember
00:34:40I got a song to deliver
00:34:41And I got to make sure
00:34:43I'm knocking this thing out
00:34:44Start to finish
00:34:45Now, you're one of my favorite voices
00:34:47But it got a little screamy a little bit
00:34:50So just curb down some of that over-raspy gravelly stuff
00:34:55Thank you so much
00:34:58I was trying my hardest to get through this song
00:35:00And that just wasn't what the judges were looking for this round
00:35:03He was trying real hard
00:35:04Yeah
00:35:05He doesn't need to
00:35:05He did a really good job
00:35:07I'm so proud
00:35:08I'm glad my dad got to see it
00:35:10Cause it might have been my last performance of the Idol, so
00:35:18Welcome back to Idol's Ohana Round
00:35:20Where Ray is hoping to make it to America's vote
00:35:23I was looking at the camera and I was like
00:35:25This is so giving Love Island confessional
00:35:27It is
00:35:29Hi everyone
00:35:31My name is Ray
00:35:32I'm gonna be singing I'll Be There by The Jackson Five
00:35:35Yes
00:35:35I wanted to dedicate this song to my sister
00:35:39My heart, my soul, everything
00:35:41My sister Jamie is one of the most important people in my life
00:35:45She's the only person that really understands me
00:35:48And what I'm going through
00:35:51I just love you so much
00:35:52And this is for you
00:35:53My promise to you that I'll always be there for you
00:35:56So sweet
00:35:57A sister's love
00:35:58Ain't nothing like a sister's love now
00:36:01You and I must make a pact
00:36:06You and I must make a pact
00:36:07We must bring salvation back
00:36:13Okay
00:36:14Where there is love
00:36:17Where there is love
00:36:19I'll be there
00:36:23Oh my God
00:36:25I'll reach out my hand to you
00:36:30Come on girl
00:36:36You better sing the song
00:36:39You better sing the song now
00:36:39You better sing the song now
00:36:39Where there is love
00:36:43I'll be there
00:36:50I'll be there
00:36:51I'll be there to comfort you
00:36:54Build my world of dreams around you
00:36:57I'm so glad I found you, baby
00:37:01I'll be there with the love so strong
00:37:06I'll be a stranger
00:37:07You know I keep falling
00:37:15I'll be there
00:37:21I'll be there
00:37:23I'll be there
00:37:28I'll be there
00:37:36I'll be there
00:37:49I'll be there
00:37:51I'll be there
00:38:07I can tell your sister how much you love her
00:38:10And you are a serious contender
00:38:12That was a great performance
00:38:14Thank you so much
00:38:17I love my sister so much
00:38:18Seeing her just gave me
00:38:20All the nerves went away
00:38:22She came out, handbrakes off
00:38:24No stops, just went in
00:38:26And I loved it
00:38:26Love it
00:38:27So good
00:38:31Thank you guys so much
00:38:33I'm Jake Thistle from New Jersey
00:38:34And I'm playing a song called Sleep On Me
00:38:36Which is an original
00:38:37It was really important for me to play an original during this round
00:38:40Because my parents and my family have always been
00:38:42Really supportive of me writing songs
00:38:45When I was really young
00:38:46A family friend played guitar
00:38:47And he gave me one because I was a toddler
00:38:50And it made noise
00:38:52I started gigging when I was nine years old
00:38:54And my parents drove me to every gig until I could get my license
00:38:56It meant a lot to have that foundation
00:38:59They're not here physically with me in Hawaii
00:39:00But my parents do know that I'm dedicating this song to them
00:39:03It's gonna be really special
00:39:05These hours aren't meant for conversation time
00:39:09Well, I'm confident
00:39:11It's too soon for tomorrow
00:39:13Too late for tonight
00:39:16That's why I'm shaking and pacing like I forgot my life
00:39:23And I wrote the show
00:39:26And I've lived the life
00:39:28The sky looks so vacant
00:39:34On these kind of nights
00:39:38It's gone when you're placing
00:39:43Your cautious hand in mine
00:39:48Forever maintaining
00:39:52The illusion that we are gonna be alright
00:40:00So sleep on me
00:40:01Sleep on me
00:40:03Sleep on me
00:40:03One day I'm gonna get it right
00:40:06Sleep on me
00:40:07Sleep on
00:40:08I'ma make it up
00:40:10To your kind of guy
00:40:12Trying to be
00:40:13Trying to be
00:40:15Someone who you like
00:40:18Oh, sleep on me
00:40:20Sleep on
00:40:20I'm a stranger back to sight
00:40:24Hey
00:40:26Wow
00:40:27Thank you so much
00:40:28I appreciate it
00:40:29Thank you
00:40:29I felt like I was at his show
00:40:31I love it
00:40:32Yeah
00:40:32Alright Jake
00:40:33So you know you took a big chance
00:40:36Keep those vocals just as you started out at the beginning strong
00:40:39Keep it all the way through
00:40:42But as a songwriter to a songwriter
00:40:44You did well
00:40:45Thank you so much
00:40:46Really kind of you guys
00:40:47Thank you
00:40:50You could hear him in a studio
00:40:53And like
00:40:54Lock him right there
00:40:55It's like watching
00:40:56Young
00:40:57Bruce Springsteen
00:40:59There you go
00:40:59Paul Simon
00:41:00There you go
00:41:01I don't know
00:41:02He's an artist
00:41:03He's an artist
00:41:04Sleep on me
00:41:05Sleep on me
00:41:07Sleep on me
00:41:08Sleep on me
00:41:09Kiss me
00:41:10I liked it
00:41:22I'm Brooks
00:41:23I'm from Bel Air, Maryland
00:41:24I'm gonna be singing Everywhere Everything
00:41:26Because family is everywhere
00:41:29And they mean everything
00:41:31Aw
00:41:32Yeah
00:41:37I love this song
00:41:38Mmm
00:41:42Two bodies
00:41:43Riddled with scars
00:41:46From our pretense
00:41:48Intertwined in a car
00:41:51Dirty bike scene
00:41:53Stare at a driving screen now
00:41:59It's been a long year
00:42:02And all of our books
00:42:04Pages dog year
00:42:07We write out the ends
00:42:09Of our wrong steer
00:42:12And forget to read
00:42:16This is one of the most unique voices I've ever heard in my life
00:42:20Yet the sun was collapsing
00:42:26Until the seas rose
00:42:28And the buildings came crashing
00:42:37Everywhere everything
00:42:38Everywhere everything
00:42:39When I love you
00:42:41Till we're food for the worms to eat
00:42:43Till our fingers decompose
00:42:48The E horsepower
00:42:49Keep my hands in yours
00:42:52Yeah
00:42:54Try
00:42:55Slowly
00:42:56Know every route
00:42:59In this county
00:43:00But maybe that ain't such a bad thing
00:43:05Tell you where not to speak
00:43:13Everywhere, everything
00:43:15Love, it's your word, food for the world to eat
00:43:20Till our fingers decompose
00:43:25Keep our hands in yours
00:43:32Keep my hands in yours
00:43:39What did that happen?
00:43:41What did that happen?
00:43:43Oh, bruh
00:43:46Every time you open your mouth and sing, I want more
00:43:49I feel like we've seen you already like kind of stepping in
00:43:53Getting a little more confidence in yourself
00:43:55Just keep leaning into that
00:43:57And it's so fun to watch and it's so fun to listen to
00:44:00Thank you so much
00:44:07It's like, thanks, thanks, bye
00:44:10Charlie
00:44:12Like
00:44:14I'm obsessed with her
00:44:15So unassuming
00:44:16And I watch this crowd over here, they weren't expecting that to come out
00:44:19What kind of alien, unexpected, crazy voice was that?
00:44:24Whee! Where'd that voice come from?
00:44:26I've never heard a tone like that
00:44:32Welcome back
00:44:34As our Ohana round continues
00:44:36Lionel checks in on the families
00:44:38I love watching this, boy
00:44:40I don't
00:44:41It's just agonizing as parents
00:44:43Who might be struggling with tonight's decision to award one platinum ticket
00:44:48I don't know what y'all are going through, but hang in there, y'all
00:44:50Wow
00:44:51I know
00:44:52They're all doing so incredible
00:44:54Yeah

00:44:57Lightfully
00:45:00Lightfully
00:45:04Lightfully
00:45:05Lightfully
00:45:06Lightfully
00:45:08Lightfully
00:45:10Lightfully

00:45:13Thank you so much, thank you
00:45:14Great, big boy, love you
00:45:15Well, we are keeping tabs on everybody on that piece of paper
00:45:18Yeah
00:45:18We're gonna vote based on our notes
00:45:21We're very serious
00:45:22But it's
00:45:23I'll tell ya, it's very difficult
00:45:25And the second platinum ticket decision belongs to the industry experts
00:45:30The truth is, everybody deserves a shot
00:45:32The talent is so high that everyone literally deserves this
00:45:35But who are we gonna give it to?
00:45:37It ain't about how fast I get there
00:45:41It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
00:45:50It ain't about how fast I get there
00:45:54It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
00:45:58It ain't about how fast I get there
00:46:04It ain't about what's waiting on the other side
00:46:07and i just don't know how i'm gonna narrow that down at all i don't i don't know
00:46:50it feels insane to be in the top 30 there's a lot of pressure knowing that 10 people are going

00:51:30i'm singing to build a home by patrick watson it's about building that home for yourself that
00:51:36place where you don't feel alone i think a big reason why i've come to american idol is that i've
00:51:41found that for myself and i've built my own ohana so it feels like the perfect song to celebrate
00:51:45everyone that's made that happen there is a house built out of stone oh this is a place where i
00:52:01i don't feel alone oh this is a place where i i feel at home

00:54:01You have so
00:54:04much
00:54:05Talent and range and power in your vocals. I feel like your brain just gets in the way
00:54:12I feel like you're kind of building up some walls
00:54:16In front of us every time you sing
00:54:19But you don't need to do that because you're enough
00:54:29It's just going to be a mind game. I have to kind of work through I
00:54:33Don't know the industry's been really nasty to me. I've got to put walls up for a long time
00:54:39um
00:54:40I think
00:54:41That what is going to come out of this experience for him
00:54:45They'll actually find himself
00:54:47Yeah, Carrie that was you better reach that was so that was that was deep
00:55:03My name is Julian Kalel I'm 19 years old from El Paso, Texas and I wrote this song called surrender
00:55:09I auditioned with this song for my very very first audition my family was there
00:55:13Feels like it was only yesterday that I was in that room with those judges
00:55:17When I wrote the song surrender, I was really really down
00:55:22So I went to my dad and he told me that anxiety the fear whatever's out of your control let
00:55:28it stay out of your control
00:55:29It's not worth your fear
00:55:31He was the one that said
00:55:34Surrender surrender those feelings
00:55:36Not only were we able to help him reach lighter place it actually turned into a song
00:55:43To see him arrive on this stage
00:55:53This is everything that we've prayed for
00:55:55I just want to dedicate this song to you papa
00:55:58Thank you for always being by my side through my absolute worst and my best
00:56:03And I love you
00:56:04I love you meekle
00:56:06Bye
00:56:06He kissed the cross
00:56:10You may always do that
00:56:25There's a hole in my chest
00:56:30Knock me down, lay me to rest
00:56:35Drown my thoughts with kerosene
00:56:40Bring my fears to my soul
00:56:45Tired of fighting, tired of keeping up the side
00:56:49Now I'm a couple ties in
00:56:51Now I'm a couple ties in
00:56:52Memories of flooding by
00:56:54So I surrender
00:56:58If it's more that I have waged, I'll raise a flag
00:57:02But fate is innocence
00:57:04Oh, I'm tired of death
00:57:08So I'll let it go, my soul and all that slay
00:57:12But I hope I pass your test
00:57:15And I'll be gone without a sound
00:57:19And my heart fails me and I'm not around
00:57:22Floating on the paths I used to draw
00:57:27Something stops me, guess I've found
00:57:30The story's end
00:57:31And it's all clear now
00:57:33The only feeling bigger than love is lost
00:57:36So I surrender
00:57:40If it's more that I have waged, I'll raise a flag
00:57:44But fate is in his hands
00:57:47And you know I'm tired as ever
00:57:49I'm tired as ever
00:57:55Oh, I surrender

01:01:51hey carrie's crushing too i said no i see where where you're coming from and you are correct ma'am
01:02:00with the added pressure of not only the judges but also the industry experts deciding their fate
01:02:06the weight of the moment is getting to some the industry experts are going to be voting for us
01:02:11which is scary she was missing was a little bit of confidence you can tell she's one of the younger
01:02:16performers she doesn't have the experience there'll absolutely be more pressure i thought she was a
01:02:22superstar i agree
01:02:27it's super scary to know that they're going to be watching and judging it looked like she was a little
01:02:31bored
01:02:36that was storytelling
01:02:37i i i wish she would have looked over here but i thought she brought the power to the song
01:02:43now you're beautiful okay the way she said it sounds better than you say what you said yeah
01:02:49definitely gotta bring my a game i gotta you know i gotta do something

01:03:20until you can
01:03:23you're just a baby it just felt like it was something was a little off maybe it wasn't
01:03:29his best performance i was seeing like a country bieber with the you know the little hair flip
01:03:37yes yes that's exactly right surely the co-editor-in-chief of rolling stone is going to be here
01:03:44i am like freaking out
01:03:50hi everyone my name is kindle and today i'm actually singing a song that i wrote it's called
01:03:56woman of me i wrote it for my mom i can't look at her too long or i will immediately
01:04:00cry my mom is my
01:04:02favorite person in the whole entire world
01:04:04she has been a backbone and just a rock in my life
01:04:11but growing up we had a tendency to clash i was a pretty rebellious kid like i started hanging around
01:04:17with the wrong people dropped out of school moved all the way to the other side of the country in
01:04:22la
01:04:23i needed to go and explore the world and learn and fall flat on my face and i'm sure that
01:04:30like
01:04:31i'm sure that really broke her heart you know
01:04:37whoa
01:04:39i think that sometimes before you can watch someone fly you have to let them hit rock bottom
01:04:46and it was the hardest thing that i've ever done she was 18 years old and she needed to go
01:04:51she needed
01:04:52to figure it out having a mother that loved me enough to let me go but be standing there with
01:05:01open arms
01:05:02when i ran back is a gratitude i can't fully even express and so i tried with this song and
01:05:12i just
01:05:13i really want to honor her with this i really want her to understand just how special she is to
01:05:18me
01:05:25i'm a daughter of a god-fearing woman countless nights she probably laid there awake
01:05:35to her surprise i did everything i shouldn't wanna both hearts would break
01:05:46from time to time there's a look in her eyes she didn't think she did it right
01:05:54oh god she was alive when there was no light i could see gave me a reason to fight
01:06:06she wiped my eyes when the world turned its back on me taught me all my wrong from rights
01:06:17i couldn't fit all of my thanks in a bottle it'd break before drifting to a sea
01:06:26she was a girl she was a girl before she was a woman now she's made a woman
01:06:35oh
01:06:54it's
01:06:58She was a girl before she was a woman, now she's made a woman, she's made a woman, she's
01:07:11made a woman of me.
01:07:21That songwriting is incredible.
01:07:24Oh, Kendall, I just want to hear more of your songs.
01:07:29You're such a great storyteller. Thank you.
01:07:31And you have the voice to back it all up.
01:07:35Wow. So if this was truly a moment meant for you right now.
01:07:40Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:07:47Perfect, no complaints. That's my American Idol.
01:07:50I'm so proud of her.
01:07:53I couldn't even look at my mom like I knew I would cry but she was right there on my
01:07:57heart and I just like felt her and that was such a special moment.
01:08:01I wish I could do it again and again and again.
01:08:16I'll be singing all I want by Coed Aline, dedicated to my great grandmother. Her name was Mumma Rice to
01:08:22me but to everybody else she was Nancy.
01:08:24The song that he picked, it means a lot to the family.
01:08:28She was a huge supporter of me, and this is one of the songs.
01:08:32This is one of the songs she loved for me to sing to her.
01:08:36I sung it in hospice, unfortunately, before she passed away.
01:08:39So, hopefully, y'all like it.
01:08:42All right, all right.

01:15:10It had uplifting moments.

01:15:14and show us a whole other level of what you can do.
01:15:16Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:15:23You guys just left it all out there on the stage.
01:15:26But I feel really good,
01:15:27and hopefully I get a platinum ticket tonight.
01:15:30What a way to close the show.
01:15:31She took me to church.
01:15:33Hun-D!
01:15:34She took me to church.
01:15:35I loved every second of it.
01:15:36I get a lot of space for you.
01:15:45This is crazy.
01:15:47Who will survive to sing for your vote?
01:15:49Find out after the break.
01:15:51Really don't want to go home.
01:15:54Welcome back to American Idol's brand new Ohana Round.
01:15:58All 30 of our Idol hopefuls have performed.
01:16:00And now it's time to whittle them down to the top 20 who get the chance to sing for America's
01:16:06Vote.
01:16:06I am nervous because everyone was impressive.
01:16:09I know you see a lot of voices out there.
01:16:11I don't know. I don't know.
01:16:13But first, there are three platinum tickets up for grabs.
01:16:17And each one secures one of those spots.
01:16:20But for the first time ever, it's not the judges making the final call.
01:16:25The first will be chosen by the industry tastemakers.
01:16:29This is tough, y'all.
01:16:30The second by the Ohana, the family members.
01:16:33A lot of powerhouses.
01:16:34And the third platinum ticket by their peers, our Idol hopefuls.
01:16:39This is crazy.
01:16:40Now, the Ohana cannot vote for their own family members.
01:16:44And the Idols cannot vote for themselves.
01:16:47It's really about whose performance moved them the most.
01:16:53It is a gut-wrenching decision to have to make.
01:16:57Whatever hit me in the heart, that's who I want.
01:16:59It's difficult.
01:17:00I mean, I think just people that really stepped it up to, you know, superstar level.
01:17:05As someone who's watched the show for so many seasons, who's written about it, who's covered it,
01:17:10being on this side is, it's really stressful.
01:17:13Just seeing a baby.
01:17:14This is literally the hardest thing that I've ever done in my life, to have someone's career in your hands.
01:17:20But we're going to make someone tonight, tonight.
01:17:23There we go.
01:17:25Which is also something to look forward to.
01:17:27We're making history up here, y'all.
01:17:29Okay, this is an unprecedented and first look at which contestants have the ability to move other people.
01:17:40So, let's reveal the results for our Platinum Ticket winners.
01:17:45First, as chosen by their peers, the Idol Platinum Ticket goes to...
01:17:54Jordan.
01:17:55Congratulations, Jordan.
01:18:01You're incredible.
01:18:02I just had chills the whole time.
01:18:05Take a look at that, Jordan.
01:18:07That is yours.
01:18:08Congratulations.
01:18:10Good job.
01:18:11Way to go.
01:18:16All right, the next Platinum Ticket, chosen by Ohana, the family members, goes to...
01:18:25Brooks.
01:18:27Congratulations, Brooks.
01:18:29I have not heard a voice like this, ever.
01:18:32You did a look on his face.
01:18:33You did a look on his face.
01:18:34You did a look on his face.
01:18:35You did a look on his face.
01:18:36You have earned this, my friend, Brooks.
01:18:38Congratulations.
01:18:39Good job.
01:18:40What was that look on your face when we called your name?
01:18:43Surprised?
01:18:44Surprised.
01:18:44Surprised.
01:18:45And finally, the industry Platinum Ticket goes to...
01:18:56Kindle.
01:19:02You've got artists written all over you, and I'm loving every minute of it.
01:19:05Congratulations, Kindle.
01:19:07That is yours right there.
01:19:09Let's hear it one more time for the Platinum Ticket winners.
01:19:18With the three Platinum Ticket spots safely secured, the judges must now choose the remaining
01:19:2417 hopefuls to complete our top 20.
01:19:29Who makes it through to America's vote?
01:19:32This is the worst part.
01:19:35It's not that we're eliminating people who can't sing.
01:19:38Right.
01:19:39No, they're here.
01:19:39We're now eliminated because they might fall in the same category.
01:19:43Like her?
01:19:44Yeah.
01:19:44Like her.
01:19:45I think she can go.
01:19:46I really hope I did good enough to make it to the top 20.
01:19:49I really don't want to go home.
01:19:51What about this one?
01:19:52Not his best.
01:19:54I'm very nervous right now to realize that your journey could come to an end.
01:19:58I feel like America's going to love him.
01:19:59I don't agree with you on that.
01:20:01Well, you're wrong.
01:20:03I'm definitely worried for this upcoming cut.
01:20:06Do we have our decision?
01:20:07We got it.
01:20:08Let's do it.
01:20:09Let's go tell them.
01:20:10Who's on to America's votes?
01:20:12Here we go.
01:20:14It's time for the judges to reveal who will join the Platinum Ticket holders in the top 20.
01:20:21Well, this is the hardest part of the whole thing.
01:20:24And for anybody that doesn't make it through, we love you guys.
01:20:30And now, the next person to go to America's vote.

01:23:37And that spot goes to.
01:23:39This is my legacy.

01:23:56So we say goodbye to Chloe, Sheldon, Bryant, and Michael.
01:24:01But take a look, America.
01:24:03This is your top 20 on American Idol.
01:24:09The next time you see them, they'll be performing for your vote, America, at Disney's Olaani Resort & Spa in
01:24:16Koalina, Hawaii.
01:24:17We will see you then.
01:24:19Good night, America.
01:24:20I was born to win.
01:24:21Over the next two weeks, our top 20 sing for your votes.
01:24:26That was like star is born kind of moment.
01:24:29From the first note, it was like huge.
01:24:32Guided by superstar mentors Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer.
01:24:36What you're doing is more than just singing.
01:24:38You're embodying spirit through song.
01:24:40Kiki also brings her artistic excellence to the judging panel.
01:24:44You don't have to do what nobody do because when you start singing, girl, you are locked in.
01:24:48The vote is in your hands, America.
01:24:51Who becomes...
01:24:52That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
