00:00:08I am very happy to be back. My second season as a judge. It feels like family.
00:00:21I have my family to support me.
00:00:25I'm very blessed to have my family that really believes in me.
00:00:30My family's always pushing me to be better.
00:00:33My whole family has pushed me through the years. We're going to do it together, okay?
00:00:37Okay.
00:00:38All right. I love you.
00:00:42We're here to inspire them.
00:00:45Welcome to our family.
00:00:49Getting to watch these kids chase their dreams, I feel really proud of where we're at as judges and with
00:00:56the talent that's come in.
00:00:57The moment of truth. The part I see on TV.
00:01:02Last day of auditions.
00:01:04Another beautiful day in Nashville, searching for talent.
00:01:07Woo! Let's do it!
00:01:08For all of my life.
00:01:11Welcome to my little.
00:01:13I literally can't believe I'm here.
00:01:15This is not... I can't even talk.
00:01:19And now I'm going to start crying.
00:01:20This is literally something that I've been dreaming of since I was little.
00:01:24Oh my God, you're here!
00:01:26The sun.
00:01:27We have to take a picture with the sun.
00:01:29American Idol!
00:01:34I remember, like, the season finale of American Idol was, like, Christmas.
00:01:38Go boys! Go boys! I got more boys!
00:01:43I couldn't sleep the night before. I was so excited to watch it. And so, this is, like, a dream
00:01:48come true. Seriously.
00:01:50Ready to go!
00:01:52And away we go.
00:01:54Don't hold it back.
00:01:56Hey!
00:01:58All right, what's your name? Who are you? Where are you from?
00:02:00My name is Rae. I'm 24. I'm from Frederick, Maryland.
00:02:05What made you want to audition for Idol?
00:02:07I am an American Idol superfan.
00:02:10Ah.
00:02:11I can't believe I'm here.
00:02:12Have you ever auditioned before?
00:02:14No, I haven't.
00:02:14Well, why'd you wait?
00:02:15I know. It should have been sooner.
00:02:17Well, good deal. What are you going to sing?
00:02:19I'm going to sing Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin.
00:02:22Ooh.
00:02:22All right.
00:02:23Big shoes. Big shoes.
00:02:24All right.
00:02:28Looking out on the morning rain
00:02:34I used to feel so uninspired
00:02:40But when I knew I had to face another day
00:02:45Oh, Lord, it made me feel so tired
00:02:52Before the day I met you
00:02:55Life was so unkind
00:02:58But you're the key to my peace of mind
00:03:03Cause you make me feel
00:03:07You make me feel
00:03:10You make me feel
00:03:14Like a natural woman
00:03:21Baby, what you're talking to me
00:03:25Oh, you make me feel so good inside
00:03:33And I just
00:03:36And I just
00:03:36I wanna be
00:03:38Yeah
00:03:39Close to you
00:03:41You make me feel
00:03:43So alive
00:03:44Cause you make me feel
00:03:47You
00:03:50You make me feel
00:03:54Like a natural woman
00:03:59Like a natural woman

00:04:10All righty!
00:04:11Come on with that!
00:04:13You good?
00:04:14Yeah!
00:04:15Yeah!
00:04:16Goodness!
00:04:16I can't believe we have not seen you in this room until now
00:04:21I think you kind of read Luke's mind
00:04:23He was like
00:04:23Can she hit the U in her chest voice?
00:04:27And then you did
00:04:27You did it
00:04:27In my opinion
00:04:28You did a lot of amazing things in that performance just then
00:04:32You got some pipes
00:04:33For sure
00:04:34Which that's your whole goal
00:04:35Is to come in
00:04:36And like show us what you got
00:04:37A little trouble land in the plane
00:04:39Right at the end
00:04:40We were flying high
00:04:41So it really didn't matter
00:04:43Cause you did enough
00:04:44Throughout the rest of the song
00:04:45Great voice
00:04:46Thank you so much
00:04:47Love your choices
00:04:50You took Aretha
00:04:51Turned it upside down
00:04:52And made it yours
00:04:53I think it was just brilliant
00:04:55Very, very good
00:04:56Thank you so much
00:04:57Thank you
00:04:58Thank you guys
00:04:59What does it mean for you to be here right now
00:05:01To finally be here?
00:05:02I think that it came at the perfect time
00:05:05My whole family is here
00:05:06My dad actually
00:05:09Suffered from a stroke
00:05:10A year ago
00:05:11A severe one
00:05:12I almost lost him
00:05:13And he's here with me right now
00:05:16Wow
00:05:17She's just worked so hard
00:05:19To get there
00:05:20And I'm so proud of her work
00:05:28We're so happy you're here
00:05:29To be here for her dog
00:05:31So it's really crazy that we're here
00:05:35I didn't think that we would be in this position
00:05:37Sorry

00:05:39No, it's good
00:05:41All right

00:07:03I feel it in my bones
00:07:05And I won't let you down
00:07:08I love you, too
00:07:13How beautiful is this, guys?
00:07:15Last year and the year before we kept saying,
00:07:18You can't beat it
00:07:18You can't beat it
00:07:19And we did
00:07:20It is so exciting
00:07:21Because we don't know what to expect
00:07:23You never do
00:07:24I can't tell you
00:07:25There are human beings that the world and us doesn't know
00:07:28Take us on an emotional ride, too
00:07:30And also, I think we kind of recognize in the stories
00:07:35Just how blessed we are
00:07:36You know, because when you get into the lives of some of these beautiful people
00:07:40We learn that the struggles are very different
00:07:44Yo, yo, yo
00:07:45Yo, yo, yo
00:07:47Left turn, left turn
00:07:48Left turn
00:07:49Howdy
00:07:50How are you guys doing?
00:07:52We're doing good
00:07:52What is your name, sir?
00:07:54I am Moore
00:07:54Moore what?
00:07:56Moore Ilderton
00:07:56Ilderton
00:07:57How can I have some more of nothing?
00:07:59I know what you're doing there
00:08:00Is that a family name?
00:08:01So my real name is Clarence Morton Ilderton IV
00:08:04So we just cut Morton in half
00:08:05That's way too long
00:08:07I like it
00:08:07I would hate to be called Clarence
00:08:09No offense to any Clarences
00:08:10Where are you from?
00:08:11I'm from Taze Valley, West Virginia
00:08:13Born and raised there
00:08:14And I'm 22 years old
00:08:16Tell us a little bit about yourself
00:08:18Goodness
00:08:18I was raised by my grandma
00:08:21I've had a great childhood
00:08:23And the fact that I'm here right now
00:08:24It's freaking awesome
00:08:26I'm really excited
00:08:27So good
00:08:28Since I was two years old
00:08:30I was put into full custody
00:08:31With my grandma
00:08:32And I grew up calling her mom
00:08:36She is an amazing woman
00:08:39I mean, I was a mischievous kid
00:08:41I put her through so much
00:08:45Whoever I am
00:08:46Reaches back to her always
00:08:48He was a kicker
00:08:50On the football team
00:08:51In high school
00:08:51I played basketball
00:08:52And then all of a sudden
00:08:54He started playing the guitar
00:08:56He taught himself
00:08:57He's just really good
00:08:58He's very talented
00:09:04She made my life feel so normal
00:09:06And sacrificed so much for me
00:09:08She's my rock
00:09:10Does he know that you're here?
00:09:12No
00:09:14When he left
00:09:15I told him I was really sorry
00:09:17I couldn't be there for him
00:09:18And he said, I understand
00:09:20And I just think that it was important to him
00:09:24And I'm
00:09:28I'm going to cry
00:09:30And I think I really want to be there for him
00:09:32What are you going to be singing for us today?
00:09:35I am singing a song
00:09:37A very meaningful song
00:09:38I wrote it
00:09:40It's called Strong
00:09:42And I lost my biological mom
00:09:44When I was two years old
00:09:45My dad
00:09:47Ended my mom's life
00:09:50It's about seeing my mom's picture for the first time
00:09:52And not knowing her
00:09:53And just kind of looking at a stranger
00:09:55And just pouring out my emotions of that
00:09:57Let's get that through this song
00:10:09Take your time
00:10:10You're good
00:10:11Take your time
00:10:12You're good?
00:10:12Take it that you're all good
00:10:13Ali
00:10:15Take your time
00:10:15Hey, look up
00:10:19It's all good, baby
00:10:20We're here
00:10:20All good
00:10:22All good
00:10:22All good
00:10:39Set a picture's worth a thousand words
00:10:43But I've only got a few
00:10:45When I look down at that frame
00:10:49And I don't even recognize you
00:10:52Cause you were taken from me years ago
00:10:56Someone I never got to know
00:10:59And now I can only speak
00:11:02When I see your face
00:11:03And I'm a little scared
00:11:05Oh mama
00:11:10I hope you found your way home
00:11:17Oh West Virginia
00:11:20You're looking
00:11:22And we wish you were
00:11:25Oh mama
00:11:33And I don't want to need you anymore
00:11:38I don't want to bleed you anymore
00:11:41Everything in me is hanging on
00:11:45You're the only reason that I'm strong
00:11:54And I'm strong
00:12:01Oh mama
00:12:06I hope you found your way home
00:12:13Oh for West Virginia
00:12:16You're looking
00:12:18And we wish you were
00:12:20Oh mama
00:12:29Woo!
00:12:31Cool, man
00:12:33Very cool
00:12:35Thank you, guys
00:12:36Very cool
00:12:38Back as you took that time
00:12:39And pulled that together
00:12:41I feel like you went
00:12:43Man
00:12:44You went somewhere else
00:12:46When you were singing
00:12:47It's like we weren't here
00:12:48In a good way
00:12:49Thank you
00:12:50As unnerved
00:12:51As you may feel
00:12:53I love your delivery
00:12:54I love the timbre of your voice
00:12:56And more importantly
00:12:57That writing was very cool
00:13:00Thank you so much
00:13:01Very, very cool
00:13:01That means the world to me
00:13:02Seriously

00:13:04Yeah, you got all the tools
00:13:05You got the look
00:13:07You got the style
00:13:08You got the hair
00:13:09You got the heart
00:13:10The voice
00:13:11What else has he got?
00:13:12Carrie?
00:13:13He's got support
00:13:15And where is that support?
00:13:20Wait
00:13:22Oh my gosh
00:13:26Surprise
00:13:27Oh my gosh
00:13:33I haven't been on an airplane
00:13:35For like 25 plus years
00:13:38Get away
00:13:39Yeah, this has been exciting
00:13:40I can't believe you're here
00:13:42Grandma, what's your name?
00:13:43Sandy
00:13:44Sandy
00:13:45Sandy
00:13:45We want to applaud you
00:13:47For stepping up
00:13:48And raising him
00:13:49Oh my gosh
00:13:50He's been a blast
00:13:51But wait, wait
00:13:52We have some more business
00:13:53We have to tell him
00:13:54If he's going through
00:13:55To Hollywood Week or not
00:13:56Yes
00:13:59Yes
00:14:01I will make that
00:14:02Three yeses
00:14:04I would like to hear more

00:14:07Thank you very much
00:14:09Sandy
00:14:09Congrats
00:14:10Thank you, sir
00:14:10Oh, God's sake
00:14:11I just listened to the whole song
00:14:13Oh, thank you
00:14:14And I am really proud of him
00:14:16You did a good job
00:14:18Thank you, Mama
00:14:19The tragedy of all that story
00:14:21To have Nana
00:14:23Sandy
00:14:24The family
00:14:25Around him
00:14:26Yeah
00:14:27He's going to be all right
00:14:28Thank you so much
00:14:29For surprising me, seriously
00:14:30Okay
00:14:31I love you
00:14:32I'm glad
00:14:32I love you too
00:14:46I hope you're dancing in the sky
00:14:52Jordan, right?
00:14:55Jordan
00:14:55But you go by Jor?
00:14:57Jor
00:14:57I love it
00:14:58Um, it was very 15 years old to me
00:15:01Oh, come on
00:15:02Apparently that's bad
00:15:03It's frowned upon
00:15:06I think this year
00:15:07Luke has kind of taken
00:15:09A role of being
00:15:11Maybe a little tougher
00:15:12Than in seasons past
00:15:13You weren't
00:15:14All the way in control of it
00:15:17Black guy
00:15:18Don't act
00:15:19Luke is absolutely out of his mind
00:15:20In fact, I can go one step further
00:15:21He's crazy
00:15:22Everybody's been like
00:15:23Oh, that's great
00:15:25The way she's doing that
00:15:26But it ain't all the time great
00:15:28He's been tougher this season
00:15:31Yeah, she gives a smile
00:15:33When the pain comes
00:15:36It felt like you had a bunch of Benadryl
00:15:39Before you walked in here
00:15:40Tough crowd
00:15:41That is the truth
00:15:42So, he was saying no to everybody
00:15:45I'm a no
00:15:47Yeah, I'm a bad guy
00:15:49Carrie gave me a
00:15:50I did
00:15:50Look
00:15:51I gave you a dirty look there
00:15:54Luke was just grumpy
00:15:56Am I right or wrong?
00:15:58I'm a no right now
00:15:59It's a no for me
00:16:02I'm a no for right now
00:16:04Wow
00:16:04I'm trying to
00:16:06Make these kids nervous
00:16:07And understand it's tough out there
00:16:09You're a grumpy old man
00:16:13Sir, is your name Luke Bryan?
00:16:15It is
00:16:15Am I in trouble?
00:16:16I heard you were giving too many no's
00:16:17Is that true?
00:16:18I was giving some no's
00:16:20There, uh, officer
00:16:22Unfortunately, that is a violation of code IDOL26
00:16:25So, I'm gonna need your hands, sir
00:16:26Yeah
00:16:27Oh, goodness
00:16:27Oh, yeah
00:16:28Put your hands like this for me
00:16:30Make them tight
00:16:32Easy

00:16:34Yeah
00:16:35Where am I going?
00:16:36Luke, what did you do?

00:16:38You're in trouble

00:16:51How officially under arrest am I?
00:16:54It depends if you give me a yes or not

00:16:58She's got the key
00:16:59It's up to you

00:18:20Would you stand by my side
00:18:25Until the end of time

00:24:00Loving the shirt
00:24:02The shirt choice
00:24:03It's got my area code back on it
00:24:04Oh, come on
00:24:05All right
00:24:06All right
00:24:06Well, tell us who you are
00:24:08My name is Landon Hughes
00:24:09I'm from Hazard, Kentucky
00:24:10I'm 19 years old
00:24:11And I'm a college soccer player
00:24:12As well
00:24:13College soccer player
00:24:14Yes, sir
00:24:15What college are you at?
00:24:16I'm at Lake Erie College
00:24:17In Painesville, Ohio
00:24:18Are you enjoying doing that?
00:24:19I'll be God's honest
00:24:20I had a
00:24:21I'll be God's honest
00:24:22You've got to be somewhere
00:24:23From Kentucky
00:24:24To go God's honest
00:24:25Yeah
00:24:26To be honest, I love it
00:24:27You know, I didn't think
00:24:28Going up there would be
00:24:29As much of a life-changing
00:24:30Experience as it is
00:24:31But it kind of made me
00:24:33Re-fall in love with music
00:24:34Crooked the road
00:24:37And the wind
00:24:38As Appalachians
00:24:39We have a very unique
00:24:40Experience in life
00:24:41But I used to hate home
00:24:42When I was growing up
00:24:44You know, after coal crashed
00:24:45You know, a lot of stuff
00:24:46Was taken away
00:24:47And I was the first generation
00:24:48To really experience
00:24:49A hazard with not a lot
00:24:51When I first moved out of Kentucky
00:24:52Started playing college soccer
00:24:54And, you know, I started missing home
00:24:56Tell me why did you run
00:24:59Obviously being from southeast Kentucky
00:25:00Bluegrass is our genre
00:25:02And I started listening to the old albums
00:25:03You know, and every time I hear it
00:25:05It transforms me back to the mountains
00:25:06Whether I'm in Cleveland or Nashville
00:25:09It really transforms me back home
00:25:10But if you're unique
00:25:12You know, what sent bluegrass
00:25:14Really made me realize
00:25:14I took Appalachia for advantage
00:25:16For many years when I lived there
00:25:18And now I've changed
00:25:19I'm here 100%
00:25:20To represent Appalachia
00:25:22When I play the music
00:25:23That's the sound of home
00:25:24When they see me
00:25:24That's the look of home
00:25:25And I walk with it every day
00:25:27You know, I carry dirt
00:25:28From home on my boots
00:25:29I carry home with me
00:25:30And I carry it here
00:25:31To American Idol
00:25:32Because I'm proud of it
00:25:33You go in there
00:25:34And show them
00:25:35With this small town
00:25:36Eastern Kentucky boy
00:25:38Hazard Kentucky
00:25:39Woohoo
00:25:39Let's go get it
00:25:41I genuinely appreciate this audition
00:25:43More than a lot of people ever know
00:25:44And I'm going out here to pick it
00:25:46Pick it fast
00:25:47Sing it loud
00:25:49Hopefully it has an impact on them
00:25:57Oh, we understand
00:26:04Little Maggie
00:26:05With a drink glass in her hand
00:26:08She's drinking away all the troubles
00:26:11And she's scored in another man
00:26:19Lay down your last gold dollar
00:26:22Lay down your gold watch and chain
00:26:25Little Maggie's gonna dance with daddy
00:26:27Listen to this old guitar ring
00:26:36Go away
00:26:37Go away
00:26:38Go away
00:26:43Little Maggie
00:26:45Go and do the best that you can
00:26:47I'm gonna give me another woman
00:26:50If you can get you another man
00:26:58Thank you very much
00:27:00I appreciate it
00:27:03You make me happy
00:27:04Thank you
00:27:05Okay, I have one for real question
00:27:09So in this competition
00:27:10We do Rock Hall of Fame
00:27:13We do Disney Night
00:27:14We throw things at you
00:27:16We want you to be you
00:27:18Can you be you in other genres
00:27:23I think I can do about every genre
00:27:24I love music all across the board
00:27:26Not just bluegrass because where I'm from
00:27:27But I love every bit of music
00:27:29You're old school that you can be
00:27:30I like your vibe
00:27:32Thank you
00:27:32I just want to make sure that you understand
00:27:34In that character that you have of your voice
00:27:37You're gonna have to take us on that journey
00:27:39Where we don't get too comfortable
00:27:41Knowing what you're gonna do
00:27:43You're gonna have to kind of guide us through it
00:27:45Vocally I'm a little skeptical
00:27:48There was some stuff you did at the end
00:27:50Where you had a little vibrato in there
00:27:51And it was really nice
00:27:52So I think you're still exploring a lot with your voice
00:27:57I feel like you deserve a chance to prove yourself
00:28:01That if you should make it through
00:28:03You're gonna have to work on your delivery
00:28:05And pulling us in
00:28:06And some of the softer tones
00:28:08Just really emoting
00:28:11It's a yes for me
00:28:13I would like to see what you do
00:28:15Thank you very much
00:28:16I really appreciate that
00:28:18I really am just going on faith
00:28:21It's a yes for me
00:28:22Thank you
00:28:24I do think you may have a little bit of an uphill climb
00:28:27With some of these voices in this competition
00:28:29But there's only one way you can learn
00:28:35Yes for me
00:28:36Oh my God
00:28:39Thank you
00:28:42Thank you
00:28:43This means the world to me
00:28:46You said you need to fly wherever you are
00:28:48For so long I was afraid of kind of exploring who I was
00:28:51And where I was from
00:28:52To end up
00:28:55You know I can finally be who I am
00:28:56And be proud of it you know
00:29:00Don't be afraid
00:29:01Thank you
00:29:03Thank you
00:29:03Thank you so much

00:29:21He just went
00:29:22What?
00:29:24You sure?

00:29:26I know my audition wasn't perfect
00:29:28But I appreciate you
00:29:29Giving me the confidence that I need
00:29:31And giving me the ability to

00:30:12That I could play guitar and sing
00:30:13Well you lied
00:30:14But then you made it right
00:30:16So that makes it okay, right?

00:42:42Thank you
00:42:43I'm surprised to hear you say that you don't perform
00:42:48I actually don't really do anything like this
00:42:51My heart's beating really fast
00:42:53You seemed very comfortable just telling a story
00:42:57Nobody was breathing when you were singing
00:42:59Than just kind of hanging on every word with you
00:43:02So, well done
00:43:03Thank you
00:43:04Yeah, you're so raw and unpolished
00:43:08I wasn't expecting you to be able to really hold our attention like that
00:43:12I mean, you didn't hit a bad note
00:43:13You held the guitar together really, really well
00:43:16And you delivered that song in your own way
00:43:18Thank you
00:43:19When you walked out, Bella, the first thing I said was very cool vibe
00:43:26Thanks
00:43:27And when you finished singing, Bella, I said very cool vibe
00:43:32I will the universe have been waiting on you
00:43:35Thank you so much
00:43:35You are scholarship material, my dear
00:43:38And all I can say is

00:43:59Welcome to Hollywood Week
00:44:00Yeah, I'm pumped
00:44:06Now for someone who doesn't do that, how'd you just do that?
00:44:09You know, I don't know
00:44:12This is completely and utterly outside of my comfort zone
00:44:16She just laid back and put that out there
00:44:19I love that
00:44:20I'm sure it will get even harder
00:44:22But I feel a little bit more like I can do this
00:44:24Like this is an actual possibility for me
00:44:27She was great
00:44:36Let's do this
00:44:37All gas, no brakes
00:44:39All gas, no brakes
00:44:41All gas, no brakes
00:44:46Shoulders back, head up, squeeze your butt and smile
00:44:49Family pose in the mirror
00:44:50One, two, three
00:44:51Primetime
00:44:54How are you going to react if you get a double ticket?
00:44:56I'll lose my mind
00:44:57I'm going to jump for door
00:44:58Probably do a toe touch
00:44:59Probably pick my mom up or something
00:45:01I like your enthusiasm, your energy
00:45:03Thank you
00:45:03You always had that?

00:45:30Tell us about yourself
00:45:31Well, hi, I'm Bartley
00:45:33I'm 23 years old
00:45:34From Austin, Texas
00:45:35And I do music for a living
00:45:37This is my full-time job
00:45:38I do three to four gigs
00:45:39Sometimes five a week
00:45:41On a really busy week
00:45:42When did you start playing?
00:45:44I started playing guitar
00:45:45In second grade
00:45:46I've been singing since I can remember
00:45:47My mom couldn't get me to be quiet
00:45:49I need my hearing aid on
00:45:53You won in a minute
00:45:54Because you know he's loud
00:45:55My mom grew me up on Temptations
00:45:59Lionel Richie
00:46:00Sammy Davis Jr.
00:46:01It's so funny
00:46:02I mean, I know Sammy's son
00:46:04Oh, really?
00:46:05And you could be the clone
00:46:07That is crazy
00:46:08Very cool
00:46:08What are you going to do for us?
00:46:10Texas Sun, Leon Bridges
00:46:11Okay, let's hear it
00:46:20You say you like the wind
00:46:22Blowing through your hair

00:46:32Texas Sun
00:46:36Say you want to hit the highway
00:46:38While the engine rolls
00:46:40Come on, roll with me
00:46:43Till the sun goes down
00:46:48Texas Sun
00:46:53Caressing you from Fort Worth
00:46:55Down to Amarillo
00:46:57Come on, roll with me
00:46:59Till the sun dips low
00:47:05Texas Sun
00:47:09When I'm far from home
00:47:11When I'm far from home
00:47:12And the cold winds blow
00:47:13Stuck somewhere with folks
00:47:16I don't know
00:47:17Cause you keep me nice
00:47:19And you keep me warm
00:47:21Won't you come on over, baby
00:47:23Can't wait to get back there again
00:47:30Texas Sun
00:47:33Thank you
00:47:34Yeah, man
00:47:35Very cool
00:47:36Thank you
00:47:37I love your voice
00:47:38Thank you so much
00:47:39Song choice is going to be paramount
00:47:43Cause I feel like you already are entertaining
00:47:45Before you do anything
00:47:47You know what I mean
00:47:48And you're not trying too hard
00:47:50It's not gimmicky or anything
00:47:52It's like just a cool style
00:47:54So I feel like when people see you
00:47:56They're going to expect something interesting and cool
00:47:59Yes
00:47:59Right
00:47:59And that's what we kind of like here at Idol
00:48:02Somebody that isn't cookie cutter

00:50:53And my two-year-old
00:50:55Wow
00:50:55I actually started singing
00:51:02When I was probably about four
00:51:03I've always had the dream of being a singer
00:51:08And then, you know, I met my husband
00:51:10And then we had a baby
00:51:12And with motherhood
00:51:14Yeah, I just stopped singing
00:51:17And my husband would look at me and be like
00:51:22Why don't you sing again?
00:51:24Like, why don't you do something for yourself?
00:51:26This is day one
00:51:28Of me posting myself singing
00:51:30I decided to start singing again
00:51:32And it led me to here
00:51:35So
00:51:37You all ready?
00:51:38Ready to go
00:51:39Sweet
00:51:41It's kind of empowering to me
00:51:43So I'm just

00:51:47Well, we're going to give you some news right now
00:51:48I'm going to invite you to sing

00:51:53Congratulations
00:51:59Now I feel like it's my time
00:52:01To find me again
00:52:04And give myself a chance
00:52:06So
00:52:07I'm really thankful to be here
00:52:09It's a blessing
00:52:10I've never performed in front of people
00:52:12Before ever
00:52:13In my life
00:52:14Wow
00:52:14You know you're going to have to pull it together
00:52:17To sing us a song
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:20I know, I know
00:52:21Okay

00:52:24I'm going to sing Maybe by Sienna Spiro
00:52:27Very good
00:52:28Alright
00:52:30Alright
00:52:30Here we go
00:52:39All I wanted
00:52:41Was to be a hostage
00:52:43For you to tie me up
00:52:47And never let me leave
00:52:50If we're honest
00:52:52It took the longest
00:52:55Time for you to even notice I was here
00:53:01You said you'd take me places
00:53:04Then you kept me waiting
00:53:07How the hell could I be so wrong?
00:53:13And now I'm feeling dated
00:53:16I thought I was your favorite
00:53:18I believed in you for so long
00:53:23Maybe this time
00:53:25You hurt like I do
00:53:28You won't get no sympathy
00:53:31Cause I got none from you
00:53:34Couldn't make up your mind
00:53:37Mind's not confused
00:53:40Nothing left in me
00:53:42The one to leave a space for you
00:53:45Cause I'm not yours
00:53:48It's not the same
00:53:51It's not the same
00:53:51As it was before
00:53:54Don't fantasize
00:53:56When you're in your eyes
00:53:57When you picture me
00:53:57When you close your eyes
00:53:59And I'm in your dreams
00:54:00Don't matter to her
00:54:02Don't matter to me
00:54:03Think I care
00:54:05I know
00:54:05Maybe this time
00:54:08You hurt like I do
00:54:10You won't get no sympathy
00:54:14Cause I got none from you
00:54:16Couldn't make up your mind
00:54:19Mind's not confused
00:54:22Nothing left in me
00:54:25The one to leave a space for you
00:54:28So maybe this time
00:54:30Maybe this time
00:54:34Maybe this time
00:54:36You'll feel like I do
00:54:38It all feels so good
00:54:44When it's your turning blue
00:54:55Oh, he's standing
00:54:57Oh, yeah
00:54:58Hey
00:54:58I have a lot of emotions today
00:55:01So I was fighting through that one
00:55:02Yeah
00:55:02It's hard to find people
00:55:05With unique, unique sounds
00:55:07And unique qualities
00:55:09You've got something amazing
00:55:11To work with
00:55:11And if I can just
00:55:12Hold you in place
00:55:14I'm game
00:55:15You know what I'm saying
00:55:16Don't look over your shoulder
00:55:17Just look in front of you
00:55:19Yeah
00:55:19Okay?
00:55:20The possibilities of you
00:55:22Going forward in your life
00:55:23Could be amazing
00:55:25Okay
00:55:25You have a really special voice
00:55:28A lot of times
00:55:29When we get voices
00:55:30With that kind of texture
00:55:31They can't hit the high notes
00:55:33Like you did
00:55:34Oh, thank you
00:55:35When we give you confidence
00:55:37Cause we can sense
00:55:39That it's not all there
00:55:40I mean, I really think
00:55:42You can hit notes
00:55:43Bigger than you are hitting
00:55:45I can when I'm in my living room
00:55:48Just get ready to go for it
00:55:50Okay

00:56:39To be able to chase this dream
00:56:43Yeah

00:57:23See you later
00:57:31People are tired to tell me
00:57:34Just do what you wanna do
00:57:36But I try to allow my mom's advice
00:57:38And that's always gotten me through
00:57:40And I fall in short of glory
00:57:42At least a time or two
00:57:44Temptation all around me
00:57:47And I'm reaching out for you
00:57:49I'm gonna fall
00:57:51Down on my knees
00:57:57And thank the Lord
00:58:00And bring me peace
00:58:14You know how far it is to that audition?
00:58:29I like the effort though
00:58:31I don't want to interrupt
00:58:32You can hear a voice?
00:58:34I think I hear a voice
00:58:35He's really loud
00:58:36Well, well, well
00:58:38I praise the Lord
00:58:47I love you for the Lord
00:58:47I love you for the Lord
00:58:47I love you for the Lord
00:58:48All right
00:58:52Thank you so much
00:58:53Thank you
00:58:54I'll get you woke up
00:58:56I love your energy
00:58:58Well, thank you so much
00:58:58Where'd that come from?
00:58:59I'm just so glad to be here
00:59:01I love to see 50s rock and roll
00:59:03I love to lead worship at my church
00:59:05And I love to do taekwondo
00:59:08I'm not sure you're there all the way vocally
00:59:11But man, you hooked the heck out of me
00:59:14The moves on guitar
00:59:15It's really, really great
00:59:17I wouldn't tell you to change a thing
00:59:19Thank you
00:59:20Thank you so much
00:59:20Your stage presence is electrifying
00:59:23But I don't want you to be a gimmick
00:59:25Take your vocals and your performances really serious
00:59:29At this point
00:59:29Yes, sir
00:59:29It's a yes
00:59:30It's a yes for me
00:59:32Jason, you are on the right path
00:59:35Work on the softer side of your voice a little bit
00:59:39But I will give you a yes
00:59:41I'm a yes
00:59:42I'm on the train
00:59:43Wow

00:59:51Thank you so much
00:59:53Thank you so much
00:59:54Actually, do you like me to teach you some taekwondo?
00:59:57My son takes taekwondo
00:59:59So I've sat through many a class
01:00:01Who wants to choke me?
01:00:02I do
01:00:05All right, so we can do a kick
01:00:07I don't need to pull a testicle
01:00:09Don't worry
01:00:10You're just going to go up
01:00:13Yeah, just like that
01:00:15There you go

01:01:11The place that I was dreaming for

01:01:44And do those poems translate into songs often?
01:01:47Yes, definitely
01:01:48What do you plan to sing for the judges?
01:01:49I plan to sing Black News by Kirby
01:01:51I chose that song because it's a song of empowerment for black women
01:01:55That's where I truly connect
01:02:01Black leaves in the Mississippi River
01:02:08Black leaves in the Mississippi Fire
01:02:15Black leaves in the Mississippi Land

01:04:28There it is
01:04:29I see it
01:04:30I don't let him go
01:04:34That's what she does
01:04:36She's special
01:04:37She is special
01:04:39She's got that confidence
01:04:41I'm going to Hollywood
01:04:43You are never, never, never alone
01:04:49The thing I love about American Idol
01:04:52Is its ability to take everyday people
01:04:55And give them the chance to really chase their dreams
01:04:58You guys are real
01:05:00Real
01:05:01I've dreamt this since I was a kid
01:05:04I knew I was performer ever since long ago
01:05:07Oh my goodness
01:05:08Where's your mother?
01:05:10I'm only 14 but you know
01:05:12How's it going?
01:05:13We know you're from the country
01:05:14Oh I am, I am
01:05:17I feel like I'm listening to the same person talk right now
01:05:20It's what you do, ain't it?
01:05:21Oh my gosh
01:05:22It's what you do, ain't it?
01:05:24Let me see this
01:05:25What's his name?
01:05:26Jax
01:05:28Right
01:05:30I'm also an Idol super fan
01:05:32Who's your favorite idol other than Karen?
01:05:35Adam Lambert
01:05:36Oh yeah
01:05:37My dad actually had to explain to me
01:05:39That I wasn't going to marry him
01:05:40Because Adam Lambert likes boys
01:05:42So then I became an ally
01:05:46Well what are you going to sing for us today?
01:05:48I'm singing In the Stars by Benson Boone
01:05:51He was amazing on the show
01:05:53And now he's like so big
01:05:54I mean, hoping that could be me
01:05:56Now you're in the stars
01:06:00And six feet's never felt so far
01:06:03And here I am alone
01:06:05Between the heavens and the universe
01:06:11No place for hiding, baby
01:06:14No place to run
01:06:17You pulled the trigger off my
01:06:22Love God
01:06:25Love God
01:06:30So don't get hateful
01:06:34Lord
01:06:35Hot damn
01:06:35There's a fire burning in the back 40
01:06:39Still finding out who the heck I
01:06:41And I'm so tired of wasting it away
01:06:47I'm gonna find the time to realize
01:06:50I'm in deep on a better day
01:06:53All right, Jackson
01:06:55The moment of truth
01:06:56The part I see on TV
01:06:58Here's the deal
01:06:59I'm nervous
01:07:01You're gonna be great one day
01:07:04But it's just a
01:07:06It's just a little bit away
01:07:08What?
01:07:10I said I needed more time
01:07:11I must tell you
01:07:13This is the part I don't like
01:07:14You are definitely a performer
01:07:17But I don't think it's ready yet
01:07:19It's gonna be a no for me this trip
01:07:21I was really begging on
01:07:22But it's okay
01:07:25I'll be okay
01:07:31It's not no as the end
01:07:33So our job is to kind of nudge them up
01:07:35To inspire them to come back and see us
01:07:37You have all the potential
01:07:41In the world
01:07:42In the stars
01:07:43I will think about you
01:07:45Probably for the rest of my life
01:07:47It is just a
01:07:48Not at 14
01:07:50I'm a no for right now
01:07:51I'm gonna be a no for right now
01:07:53But just don't take it as a no
01:07:55Just as a deposit on your future
01:07:57Okay
01:08:05It was just like kind of hard to hear
01:08:08But don't let any no's get in your way
01:08:10You can always come back
01:08:11And redeem yourself
01:08:13Until next time
01:08:14You did good, Peanut
01:08:16I think if she's that good
01:08:18She'll be back
01:08:25How's it feel to be back?
01:08:26I feel good
01:08:27Hello
01:08:29How are you guys?
01:08:31We know you
01:08:32Nice to meet you
01:08:34I'm Mary Jo Young
01:08:35I'm 24 years old
01:08:37And I was on season 19 of American Idol
01:08:39I'm excited to be back
01:08:41Yeah, I'm excited
01:08:42The first time I auditioned for American Idol
01:08:45That was my first time singing in front of anyone
01:08:46Including my mom
01:08:48And I was so scared
01:08:50Welcome back
01:08:50Thank you, how are you?
01:08:52I'm great
01:08:52I will never forget your performance with Vincent Boone
01:08:55Yeah, and me forgetting all the lyrics standing right next
01:09:10When it came to an end
01:09:12It was a good kick the baby bird out of its nest
01:09:15Because I needed to go and grow
01:09:17What you say of me?
01:09:21Oh no
01:09:23I remember loving your voice
01:09:25So you made it to top
01:09:2624
01:09:2724
01:09:28I feel like a new person
01:09:30I've been touring
01:09:31I've opened for Alex Warren
01:09:33Jake
01:09:34Jesse Murph
01:09:35I think my confidence
01:09:37Has definitely grown too
01:09:39Yes, you're going to get knocked down
01:09:41You might get knocked out
01:09:42Don't take it personal
01:09:43And just come back in the ring
01:09:45That's what it's all about
01:09:46I wanted to come back to American Idol
01:09:48Because I learned the most
01:09:50From being on the show
01:09:50Than I have on any tour
01:10:00You know you broke my heart in two
01:10:04You know exactly what you did to me
01:10:08I've had it up to here with you
01:10:13No, I don't want to be at your pretty party
01:10:17Cause you've been running around running your mouth
01:10:20Just like a track star
01:10:22Telling all of your friends that it's been so hard
01:10:26When you're the one who said you were done
01:10:29Said you fell out of love
01:10:31Boy, you must think that I'm dumb
01:10:34Dumb
01:10:35You can call me a psycho
01:10:38You can call me a liar
01:10:39You can call me an arsonist
01:10:42I should set you on fire
01:10:44You can call me a mess
01:10:46Say what you like
01:10:48You can call me whatever you want
01:10:50Don't call me a knife
01:10:52Don't call me with a sad boy
01:10:56Don't want to hear the same soft story
01:11:00Same soft story
01:11:02Yeah, you can call me a psycho
01:11:04You can call me a liar
01:11:06You can call me an arsonist
01:11:09I should set you on fire
01:11:10You can call me a mess
01:11:13Say what you like
01:11:15You can call me whatever you want
01:11:17Don't call me tonight
01:11:19No, don't call me tonight
01:11:22Don't call me
01:11:23Don't call me
01:11:26Don't call me
01:11:27Don't call me
01:11:28Don't call me
01:11:30Don't call me
01:11:31Don't call me
01:11:31Don't call me
01:11:34Don't call me tonight
01:11:36All right
01:11:40Carrie, that's your first go-round with Miss Mary Jo?
01:11:43I liked it a lot
01:11:45I like the song a lot
01:11:47And your voice
01:11:49It's got a different kind of tone to it
01:11:51But it's got some power under it
01:11:52When you start going for the higher stuff
01:11:55A lot of personality in you
01:11:57And your voice as well
01:11:59I tell people who are trying to get in the business
01:12:02You know, it ain't about singing
01:12:03It's about surviving
01:12:05Oh, I like that
01:12:06If you can get through that
01:12:08That's the key
01:12:09I think you're doing quite well at surviving here
01:12:11Sounds great
01:12:11Thank you
01:12:13Life's been getting you a little bit
01:12:14But that's going to happen in the music business
01:12:17But, you know, there is a different air of confidence to you
01:12:20That's totally new

01:12:46Thank you, guys
01:12:47All right
01:12:48You're going through the Hollywood week
01:12:49Congratulations
01:12:50Hollywood week that way
01:12:51I got something
01:12:56I'm going into Hollywood week way differently
01:12:59I'm much more prepared
01:13:01This one ticket shows me that
01:13:03It's always good to get back up and try again
01:13:05And I'm really proud of myself for it
01:13:13Well, I don't know about you guys
01:13:15But I think we're heading down the right road
01:13:17Of a great season
01:13:19I think we're on to something
01:13:22Music sends you down different paths
01:13:24And you've got to take the road it takes you down
01:13:27I don't know what we've just tapped into
01:13:30But 2026 feels good to me
01:13:32I think we cover a lot of ground stylistically
01:13:37There's a lot of different voices
01:13:39We've got one more to go
01:13:41But I'm so happy for our blessings
01:13:45Impressive
01:13:46Time for the audition you've been waiting for

01:14:08Yeah
01:14:08Well, thanks
01:14:09Your hair is majestic
01:14:10Thank you
01:14:11There's a lot going on
01:14:12I don't know if we've seen better hair, right?
01:14:14That's pretty awesome
01:14:15All right
01:14:16Tell us who you are and where you're from
01:14:18Yeah, my name is Chris Tungset
01:14:19I'm 27 years old
01:14:20And I'm from Fergus Falls, Minnesota
01:14:22And what do you do up in Minnesota for work?
01:14:25Right now I've been roofing houses
01:14:26Quickest work in a small town
01:14:28Is usually construction
01:14:29So
01:14:29Tell me a little bit about, you know
01:14:31Why he's here
01:14:32And what this audition means to Chris
01:14:33Yeah, I mean, music's always been a part of our family
01:14:37We've grew up watching American Idol
01:14:40And he's really turned to music
01:14:42Kind of as his way of getting his feelings off his chest
01:14:46Tell us about growing up, your home life
01:14:49Yeah
01:14:50I just feel so fortunate
01:14:51Like, I'm so blessed
01:14:53I've been given the greatest family in the world
01:14:56Um
01:14:59Hmm, yeah
01:15:00You can look in a rose
01:15:04Just any rose
01:15:08Except that it's perfect
01:15:10Growing up in Minnesota is the best
01:15:12Like, my childhood was so fun and so simple
01:15:15My dad, he studied opera
01:15:18And he was an opera singer
01:15:19And then became a pastor and a worship leader
01:15:20And my mom was a pianist
01:15:22My siblings, we'd sing every holiday at church
01:15:27Everything that we did was
01:15:30Like, together
01:15:34But it started to take a turn
01:15:36When I was 10 years old
01:15:37My mom was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
01:15:40Hi
01:15:41It was pretty aggressive
01:15:42How are you?
01:15:44I'm good now
01:15:46Right away, my mom
01:15:47Was in and out of the hospital
01:15:49She was four hours away
01:15:51My dad would be traveling back and forth
01:15:52Trying to take care of our family
01:15:54He was gravity to us
01:15:56He's the strongest person I've ever met
01:15:59He was my best friend
01:16:00He was my
01:16:02Kind of my foundation
01:16:03The person I turned to for advice
01:16:06Twelve years after my mom's diagnosis
01:16:08My dad was diagnosed with leukemia
01:16:15Yeah, that was the worst
01:16:18Thing I've ever heard in my life
01:16:20Like, Superman
01:16:22Is no longer Superman, you know
01:16:26My siblings moved home
01:16:27To help me take care of them
01:16:29I mean, all of us
01:16:31Put life on hold
01:16:32But there was nothing else
01:16:33That we would have done
01:16:33Like, that was honestly
01:16:34The biggest gift
01:16:35For us to be close to them
01:16:41So, I'm gonna be singing
01:16:43Lonely Road
01:16:44That I wrote for Dad
01:16:45Love that
01:16:46I mean, everyone says
01:16:48How much you look like Dad
01:16:49And how much you resemble Dad
01:16:51Now, especially
01:16:52With him being gone
01:16:53His legacy is now
01:16:55Living through you
01:16:56Through your singing
01:17:02Pops
01:17:04I wish you were part of this
01:17:06I wish you were here to
01:17:10See this thing go through
01:17:11But I'm just gonna be
01:17:13Me and
01:17:16I hope they see you through me
01:17:25I hit the lonely road again
01:17:31I know I missed my turn
01:17:38I'm not the only one
01:17:40That's traveling
01:17:42But I know
01:17:44That I'm far from home
01:17:50I guess I had to learn
01:17:52The hard way
01:17:56I know that you did too
01:18:01How come no one has directions
01:18:05When we've all been down
01:18:08That same route too
01:18:13I still have a million questions
01:18:19Only you got answers too
01:18:25I don't really think
01:18:27That I will care for them
01:18:30When I'm up in heaven with you
01:18:36Press on
01:18:43We're gonna make it through
01:18:48Hold on
01:18:56I'm holding on to you
01:19:02Ooh
01:19:10I'm holding on to you
01:19:20I love everything about you
01:19:23I love your presence
01:19:25I love how open you are
01:19:28In the way you talk, communicate
01:19:31And the way you sing, communicate
01:19:33You have an incredible voice
01:19:35It's powerful
01:19:36And it's beautiful
01:19:37It's masculine
01:19:39And it's soft
01:19:40At the same time
01:19:43You kind of have all the things
01:19:45Just very impressive
01:19:46The gift that you have to work with
01:19:49And the way that you work with it
01:19:50Thank you
01:19:51Part of your singing
01:19:52Is going to be the things you say
01:19:55In between each song
01:19:56Yeah
01:19:56You have a ministry
01:19:58A real strong connection to people
01:20:01Thank you
01:20:02I was so touched by the fact
01:20:04He said
01:20:05I'm blessed
01:20:05I'm grateful
01:20:07There was a point in my life
01:20:08Where I thought
01:20:09My dad's dying
01:20:11And my life's falling apart
01:20:13There was a little aid
01:20:15Over in the corner
01:20:15Of the hospital
01:20:16And I was talking to my dad
01:20:18He was in and out of a coma
01:20:20He said
01:20:20You're very lucky
01:20:22And I looked at him and said
01:20:24What are you talking about?
01:20:25I said
01:20:25He's in a coma
01:20:27And he said
01:20:28I was just thinking
01:20:28I wish I had a dad
01:20:29To love as much as you have
01:20:31Yeah
01:20:32It's a gift to hurt so much
01:20:34You know
01:20:34Because it means that
01:20:35Something was important there
01:20:36So
01:20:36Your ministry is right in place, man
01:20:39Thank you
01:20:40The timing of all this
01:20:42Is the timing of it
01:20:43Right, exactly
01:20:44We're not in control of it
01:20:45I had setbacks in my life
01:20:48That put my music career on hold
01:20:50And I matured
01:20:52And grew up during those years
01:20:53Yeah
01:20:54It's really perfect to me
01:20:56What you're doing
01:20:56I've been in the room
01:20:57With Chris Stapleton
01:20:58A lot of times
01:20:59You've got those little vibes
01:21:01Going on
01:21:01You've got that ability
01:21:02To whisper with soul
01:21:04And turn it up
01:21:06You've just got a lot of stuff
01:21:07Going on
01:21:07And don't be afraid
01:21:08To turn them loose
01:21:09Yes, sir
01:21:10Because we're going to be
01:21:11There every step of the way
