00:05:1211.
00:05:12They'll take the stage later with a not-to-be-missed live performance.
00:05:17But first, here they are helping Chris Thompson with his choice in 2024 inductees corner.
00:05:25Let'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, but don't be safe.
00:05:37I'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.
00:05:42You must be doing something, right?
00:05:43Well, I don't know.
00:05:44I'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.
00:05:50You'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.
00:05:58Chris is a great guy.
00:05:59Very cool voice.
00:06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:04What she said.
00:06:05Someday you pay.
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that.
00:06:11Make it like a...
00:06:12That's good.
00:06:12You're gonna pay.
00:06:13Yeah.
00:06:14Plus, 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.
00:06:26Someday you pay!
00:06:30There you go.
00:06:31That made all the difference at half-step.
00:06:33There's a lot of pressure.
00:06:33The live shows, there's millions of people watching.
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:37Chris's last performance wasn't up to where he wanted it to be.
00:06:40So this one's really important.
00:06:41Cold as ice, he's gotta bring it.
00:06:43Good luck, man.
00:06:45That was great.
00:06:46Really great.
00:06:47Thank you, guys.
00:06:53You're as cold as ice
00:06:57Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:04Ooooooo...
00:07:08You never take advice
00:07:11Someday you'll pay the price, I know
00:07:15I've seen it before, it happens all the time
00:07:19You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
00:07:23You're digging for gold and throwing away
00:07:27Oh, fortune and feelings, cause someday you'll pay
00:07:33You're as cold as ice
00:07:37Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:40Come on
00:07:42Ooh
00:07:48You want paradise
00:07:51Someday you'll pay the price, I know
00:07:56You've seen it before, it happens all the time
00:07:59You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
00:08:03You're digging for gold and throwing away
00:08:07Oh, fortune and feelings, cause someday you'll pay
00:08:16You're as cold as ice
00:08:23You're as cold as ice
00:08:33You're as cold as ice
00:08:36Willing to sacrifice
00:08:39You're as cold as ice
00:08:43Willing to sacrifice
00:09:01All right, Chris
00:09:06All right, Chris
00:09:07I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you some, I'm gonna give you big pointers here, okay?
00:09:12Yes, sir
00:09:12Once you take that mic out of that poster, never go back to that mic stand again
00:09:19Yes, sir
00:09:19What I'm saying to you, attitude now, from that point on, it's all about doing it, performing it, making it
00:09:25happen
00:09:25Your voice is there, trust yourself, take a chance
00:09:28Thank you
00:09:30Chris, this was a fantastic song choice for you
00:09:34Um, I, I love the energy you came out with
00:09:37I feel like this is one of my favorite performances that you have done
00:09:40If not the favorite performance that you have done

00:09:43Thank you, Chris
00:09:43Great way to kick us off, man
00:09:45Thank you
00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front, you 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, uh, something, something blowing on your hair?
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans
00:10:04Yeah, something like that
00:10:05The J-Lo fans
00:10:06There you go
00:10:07You know, you got the hair, and you got the hair blowing in the wind in the mix

00:10:41I feel like I was sitting on my side of the comfort zone for a long time

00:10:48It's not just about being in comfort

00:14:46i definitely feel the pressure i'm so grateful to sing on the stage again so i gotta do it justice
00:14:56one suggestion maybe it's very powerful right is there a way to do something where you're very
00:15:02powerful and then do something where it's very quiet so it gets really soulful yeah like at the
00:15:07very end so i'm like if you hold that last note a little longer to just let it fade away
00:15:13maybe move the
00:15:13mic away
00:15:18you know what no one can do what you can do so you just play with it enjoy it and

00:25:04It's called the vibe, man.

00:26:29Now, from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2000 for a timeless track by Jackson Brown,
00:26:35courtesy of Brooks.
00:26:43Last week's performance, I wasn't extremely happy about.
00:26:47I felt like the back half, you were kind of uncomfortable.
00:26:50I got so nervous and anxious.
00:26:52Just do what you do, because you got it.
00:26:54Your voice is so incredible.
00:26:57When people believe in me, it helps me believe more in myself.
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?
00:27:13These Days by Jackson Brown.
00:27:15I was a shy kid and I grew up trying to be independent, just kind of staying in my own
00:27:19lane.
00:27:20And that's what it means to me.
00:27:23Don't do that much talking these days.
00:27:26You close your eyes.
00:27:27What do you got going on when you're doing that?
00:27:31I see shapes and colors when I close my eyes, depending on the mood of the song.
00:27:36It's kind of hard to explain because I'm colorblind.
00:27:40But when I close my eyes and sing, I see the music rather than hear it.
00:27:45If I feel that it's like happy, it's usually brighter and 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.
00:28:00I'm telling you.
00:28:01The blessing that the audience is going to get from hearing him sing that song, that'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.
00:28:11Well done.
00:31:05Thank you so much.
00:31:40Thank you so much.
00:32:12Thank you so much.
00:34:01Love is a burning thing.
00:34:05And it makes a fiery ray.
00:34:13Bound by wild desire.
00:34:18I fell into the ring of fire
00:34:24I went down, down, down
00:34:27To the burning ring of fire
00:34:30Down, down, down
00:34:34And the things they went higher
00:34:37And it burns, burns, burns
00:34:40The ring of fire
00:34:43The ring of fire
00:34:54You're the right goddess in love
00:34:57To release my inner fantasy
00:35:01Infants of a winner
00:35:03You know that you are born to play
00:35:07You're the heartbreaker, dreammaker, love taker
00:35:12Don't you mess around with me
00:35:14You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love taker
00:35:19Don't you mess around with me
00:35:20You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love taker
00:35:25Don't you mess around with me
00:35:26You're a heartbreaker, dreammaker, love taker
00:36:32Good to see you, buddy.
00:36:33Nice to see you being here.
00:36:34Oh, it's great to see you.
00:36:37Yes, they're married, and they work together, and it works.
00:36:43Appreciate your generosity paying it forward with our contestants.
00:36:46Great job.
00:36:47Oh, absolutely.
00:36:48We love them.
00:36:49I'm re-adapted.
00:36:50Look at them all.
00:36:51Look at them.
00:36:53How could you not love them all?
00:36:55So, my grandma and grandpa rock is a book you've got out, right?
00:37:00Yeah.
00:37:01Tell me about it.
00:37:01We have grandbabies now.
00:37:03I can't believe it.
00:37:03I know that.
00:37:04We have grandbabies.
00:37:05And they're trying to figure out what we really do besides 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 with Brian Adams, Pat.
00:37:16Yes, we're going out this summer again with Brian Adams.
00:37:18Come see.
00:37:21Love having you.
00:37:22Oh, you're good, man.
00:37:23Great to see you.
00:37:24Here's Pat and Neil leading the way with Daniel Stalworth.
00:37:27Take a look.
00:37:30You're great.
00:37:31Hello, Daniel.
00:37:31How are you doing?
00:37:32Good to see you guys.
00:37:33How are you?
00:37:33I'm doing well.
00:37:34I'm good.
00:37:35This round was definitely the hardest time I've had to choosing a song.
00:37:40I'll be performing Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:37:48I'm taking a risk on this.
00:37:49This is my very first time performing a rock song.
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the dots.
00:37:56I forgot the word.
00:37:58I 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, what I've got to do is super, really high thing.
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this.
00:38:22Try going like this.
00:38:24Because when you go up, you're pulling everything so tight.
00:38:29You know what I mean?
00:38:29And you have more power than you ever need.
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon up to that point.
00:38:34People remember intros and you remember endings.
00:38:37And he's got to deliver that end.
00:38:39Going into the performance, I have a lot to work on.
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition, it will mean the world to me.
00:38:45And I want it to be one of the best performances that I've delivered.
00:38:50And I'm just going to keep working harder so I can get there.
00:38:57She said, we've got to hold on to what we've got.
00:39:04Doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
00:39:08We've got each other and 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.
00:39:20Come on.
00:39:23Come on.
00:39:26Union's been no stride
00:39:28He's down on his luck
00:39:30It's tough
00:39:32Ooh
00:39:33So tough
00:39:36Yeah
00:39:38Gina works together all day
00:39:42Working for her man
00:39:45She brings all my pain
00:39:47For love
00:39:50Oh
00:39:51For love
00:39:54She says we gotta hold on
00:39:57To what we got
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
00:40:08For love
00:40:10We'll give it a shot
00:40:13Oh
00:40:13We're halfway there
00:40:17Oh
00:40:18Living on a prayer
00:40:21Take my hand
00:40:23We'll make it I swear
00:40:25Oh

00:40:30Living on a prayer
00:40:33Living on a prayer
00:40:37We've got to hold on
00:40:40To what we got
00:40:51Take my hand
00:40:53Take my hand
00:40:53We'll make it I swear
00:40:55Oh
00:40:58Living on a prayer
00:41:01Living on a prayer
00:41:17Moving on a prayer
00:41:19Watching it
00:41:20Watching it that your rehearsal time beforehand I did not think I was gonna like it and I was wrong

00:44:56She's ready to bring the wonder
00:44:58It's
00:44:59Kyla 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
00:45:16Kyla
00:45:19It's been a tough week
00:45:20But
00:45:21I 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 it's exactly what you gotta do
00:45:29With Signed, Sealed, and Deliver
00:45:30Here I am
00:45:32Signed, Sealed, Delivered
00:45:33I'm yours
00:45:34I would love to see you
00:45:37Sing 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
00:45:51I'm yours
00:45:52Yeah
00:45:53Yeah, because 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 we gotta twist it up
00:46:02A little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if
00:46:04We could do an intro
00:46:05Singing verse
00:46:06As a ballad
00:46:07Slow
00:46:08Like in other words
00:46:09Second verse
00:46:11Seen a lot of things
00:46:13In this whole world
00:46:15I think that was a
00:46:16Great decision
00:46:17When I said that
00:46:18I said
00:46:18Oh, I see why y'all
00:46:19Got a lot of grannies
00:46:21Good
00:46:21Good
00:46:22You like that

00:52:53Stuff that you've done already
00:52:54And you're only 17
00:52:5618
00:52:5718
00:52:57We're in the 4th quarter
00:52:59I'm just talking right now
00:53:004th quarter
00:53:00We're 70s
00:53:01In the 4th quarter
00:53:02That's okay
00:53:03It's always good to know
00:53:04Where you're at
00:53:04So Lucas is a young dude
00:53:06I'm always impressed
00:53:07That they're out there
00:53:08Doing it
00:53:17So why did you choose
00:53:19Benny and the Jets
00:53:19I'm a country-ish artist
00:53:21I'd like to say
00:53:22And I've done some
00:53:24Pretty safe picks
00:53:25But the strong dogs
00:53:26Kind of want to
00:53:28Listen up a little bit
00:53:29And do something
00:53:30Nobody really saw coming
00:53:33That's great
00:53:34Fantastic
00:53:35I would have never expected
00:53:36That rasp to come out of you
00:53:37The intro of the song
00:53:38Could you just kind of
00:53:39Maybe like
00:53:40Some kind of just
00:53:45More activity up high
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone
00:53:48Even though it is
00:53:50Horrifyingly scary
00:53:51It is so important to do
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it
00:53:55It really gets you so far
00:54:02The thing that I'm most nervous about
00:54:04For this performance
00:54:05That's better
00:54:07Is yeah
00:54:08While I'm trying to switch it up
00:54:09And you know
00:54:10Bring a different vibe
00:54:11To the table this week
00:54:12I'm wondering how much
00:54:13Is too much
00:54:13Work on it
00:54:14See 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

00:56:03Benny and the Jets
00:56:07Benny
00:56:08Benny and the Jets
00:56:25One of my favorite songs
00:56:29And I'm telling you, you waited right to the end to put your magic on it
00:56:36I'm telling you when I say this, take the chances
00:56:38You are the musician of life, let the vocals go
00:56:41Let the vocals go, let them go
00:56:44I thought it was a really good song choice
00:56:46And I feel like you are so entertaining behind the piano
00:56:50Which is hard when you're kind of tethered to one place behind a big instrument
00:56:55But you were entertaining still
00:56:57And that was great, you did great
00:56:59Thank you so much
00:57:02I smiled the whole time
00:57:05You have this charisma thing that you can't go by anywhere in a store, anywhere
00:57:10You just make me happy
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements
00:57:15And man, you just keep growing and keep surprising us
00:57:19Unbelievable

00:57:58Check it out
00:57:59There you go
00:58:02Last week's performance definitely very far from my favorite I've ever done in my life
00:58:06I was just in my head and for a second I forgot to just be Kendall
00:58:11At this stage in the competition there's just not room for mediocre performances
00:58:15I have to step it up
00:58:17What are you gonna sing?
00:58:18I'm trying to decide between two songs right now
00:58:20Yeah
00:58:20I would be either singing Message in a Bottle by the police or Peace of My Heart by James Joplin
00:58:26Take it!
00:58:27I loved Kendall's voice
00:58:29I loved her voice
00:58:29I loved her whole demeanor
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart, it's a classic rock song, everybody knows it, and they wanna sing along
00:58:40That's fun
00:58:41That's awesome, that's great, that's great
00:58:43This is like, I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone, but kind of
00:58:47Does it sound like it?
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens with the other song
00:58:50Yeah, let's hear me sing the other one
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one where she could be more of like a performing art-ist
00:59:03It's more authentic to me in what I might write
00:59:06You've got to pick what's gonna make you the most comfortable
00:59:09Yeah, truly
00:59:12I am a little bit in my head about this week
00:59:14Song choice is really important
00:59:15Okay, let me just say this
00:59:16Yeah, please help
00:59:17If you want to make a splash, do a message in a bottle
00:59:21No way

00:59:26Let's find out which song it is
00:59:29Kendall takes the stage live right after this, hang tight
00:59:45You are live on Idle before the break
00:59:48We're on the edge of our seats wondering which song Kendall chose for the major moment here
00:59:53We should go with Pat and Neil's suggestion and perform the police
00:59:56Or is it gonna be Janis Joplin?
01:00:00Thank you
01:00:01Let's find out right now

01:15:06one more epic rock moment ahead jordan mccullough with some queen live right after this
01:15:31we are back we are back rock and roll hall of fame night on idol and we're closing out the
01:15:38performances with a beloved song from one of the greatest fans of all time queen is coming from
01:15:45jordan mccullough here we go
01:15:48the
01:15:49for rock and roll hall of fame week i'm gonna be singing somebody to love by queen
01:15:52this morning i get up i die a little
01:15:56don't tell anyone but i just heard it for the first time yesterday
01:15:59i kind of started to lose myself in the song then when i opened my eyes and 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, but he didn't have all the lyrics.
01:16:13I wanted to find myself in rock and roll,
01:16:15and I feel like me as a worship leader
01:16:17and predominantly singing gospel music,
01:16:20you don't always see that in rock and roll.
01:16:22Your motion on the stage, you have to be that worship director.
01:16:27Okay.
01:16:27The song is a moment in church.
01:16:29You have to command that stage.
01:16:31Take a look in the mirror and cry.
01:16:35Jordan's instrument is incredible.
01:16:38That's one of the examples of a person
01:16:39who literally has control of the instrument,
01:16:42and all you're going to do is you're going to put
01:16:44those last little bits in there just to tweak it a little bit.
01:16:47Say I'm going crazy.
01:16:48Pat Neal told me to move around the stage
