00:00:14Father, help your children

00:10:01I'm a single mom.
00:10:03My son is the reason why I gotta keep going.
00:10:05Hi, Mr. Luke.
00:10:06One of my favorite moments I've ever had on this show.
00:10:08That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this show.
00:10:13She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:25I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:30I wasn't holding you up, so there's nothing I can do to let you down.
00:10:37It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:43And I'll never be more lost than I am right now.
00:10:48Hey, hey.

00:11:16If he dresses in lilies with beauty and splendor, how much more would he clothe you?
00:11:25How much more would he clothe you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:11:38How much more would he love you?
00:11:41And we say, gyro, you are enough for me, whether that's human, not to me, freedom, not to me, and
00:11:53I will be content, in every circumstance, and we say, gyro, you are enough.
00:12:24So, so, so here's the situation.
00:12:30You have, you have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:40You are, you, you are walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence, and your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Loved it.
00:12:51Loved it.
00:12:54What a way to kick off the show.
00:12:56I mean, you kind of put us, you put us right there in, in the mind frame of, you know,
00:13:03being grateful, and just the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:09And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:15Oh, my gosh.
00:13:19I mean, you, you've kind of touched me in a lot of ways since your audition, and just watching your
00:13:25growth from there to now, and watching you come out here and really command the room and the stage.
00:13:31And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just, you're just making this your moment, and I love that.
00:13:37Way to kick off the night.
00:13:38Great job.
00:13:41Well, you did it.
00:13:42You kicked off the night, just like Luke said.
00:13:44Your boy, Drew, was having a good time watching that performance.
00:13:46We saw him on TV, and I noticed in rehearsal that you were getting emotional singing that song.
00:13:51What were you feeling at the beginning of the day?
00:13:54Um, just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here, and grateful to God just to be on this platform and to share my grip with
00:14:00the world.

00:14:30Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finley.
00:14:36If you haven't noticed, I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt freeing for me because when I sing, I don't stutter.
00:14:42I love this show because we get to meet kids like you.
00:14:45American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life.
00:14:49I've gotten so much more confident in myself.
00:14:54I said out on a narrow way many years ago
00:15:02Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
00:15:09But I got lost a time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
00:15:18I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
00:15:25And every long lost dream
00:15:30Led me to where you are
00:15:35Others who broke my heart
00:15:38They were like northern stars
00:15:43Pointed me on my way
00:15:46Into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know
00:15:52This much I know
00:15:53This much I know
00:15:54Is true
00:15:56That God bless the broken road
00:16:01That led me straight to you
00:16:05Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:29God bless the broken road
00:16:34God bless the broken road
00:16:37God bless the broken road
00:16:42That led me straight to you
00:17:07That was great, Jesse.
00:17:09They made us wait for you.
00:17:11I was like holding my breath for lots of people.
00:17:13But I bet you feel better now that that's over.
00:17:16Yes.
00:17:16I mean, that song is such a singable, beautiful song.
00:17:20I know somebody else who sang it a couple decades ago on the show.
00:17:24But when people say you made it your own,
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own.
00:17:28I love the arrangement.
00:17:28I love what you did with it.
00:17:30You made that song suit your voice,
00:17:32and you did it really fantastically.
00:17:34Thank you so much, Carrie.
00:17:35Thank you, guys.
00:17:39Yeah, listen, I love everything you're doing.
00:17:41Your voice is very controlled and very perfect.
00:17:44But then, listen, keep pushing, too,
00:17:46and dig more and more
00:17:48because we're getting into the serious part of the competition.
00:17:50I love the – I totally echo what Carrie just said.
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig,
00:17:56and so glad to see you in this spot.
00:17:58Great.
00:17:59Thank you, Luke.
00:17:59Great job on that.
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys.
00:18:03Honestly, honestly, it's ditto, ditto, ditto.
00:18:07I mean, there's a purity about your voice
00:18:09and a sincerity about your voice
00:18:11that just comes right through first note.
00:18:14Just remember – I like Luke now –
00:18:16remember, it's down to 14.
00:18:18Give it to us.
00:18:19Yes.
00:18:19All right.
00:18:22Good job, buddy.
00:18:23Nice to see you this evening.
00:18:25She did.
00:18:26She sang that a couple times, I think,
00:18:27in her season, Carrie Underwood.
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Yes, definitely inspired me.
00:18:31She did a great job,
00:18:32and to be able to sing it on the stage in front of her was –
00:18:35You did it head on.
00:18:35Very special.
00:18:36And it was symbolic, that song, right?
00:18:38Yes.
00:18:38Yeah, it's just a beautiful song.
00:18:39I love, like, the line,
00:18:41God bless the broken road that led me straight to you.
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song
00:18:46that everybody can feel,
00:18:48and God leads us to the right people in life,
00:18:50whether that's friends or family.
00:18:52And I just love that message that the song brings.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote.

00:22:08I've got a lot of family and friends back in Gallatin, Tennessee,
00:22:11and I just want to win it for them.
00:22:13Today.
00:22:17All my words are short.
00:22:22I've got nothing.
00:22:26With my arms stretched wide.
00:22:31And I will worship you.
00:22:35So I throw up my hands and praise you again and again.
00:22:43Because all that I have is a hallelujah.
00:22:52Hallelujah.
00:22:55And I know it's not much, but I'm nothing else fit for a king.
00:23:02Except for a heart singing hallelujah.
00:23:11Hallelujah.
00:23:18Oh, come on, my soul.
00:23:21Oh, don't you get shine on me.
00:23:24Look up your sun.
00:23:25But you've got a light in the inside of those bones.
00:23:31Get up there and praise the Lord.
00:23:36So I throw up my hands and praise you again and again.
00:23:44Because all that I have is a hallelujah.
00:23:54Hallelujah.
00:24:00Hallelujah.
00:24:01Oh, oh, oh.
00:24:03Oh, oh, oh.

00:24:30Hallelujah.
00:24:32Hallelujah.
00:24:33Hallelujah.
00:24:33That was my favorite performance I've seen you do thus far.
00:24:38Thank you so much, Steve.
00:24:42It just felt like everything came together.
00:24:45Your voice really works in this room and the way you just stand there.
00:24:49You look like you got your whole thing together and you're ready to be a star.
00:24:53Thank you, sir.
00:24:57All I want you to know is grow that.
00:25:01Right.
00:25:01Grow that.
00:25:02In other words, what I'm saying to you is take this as the big step because you've got major behind
00:25:08you here.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:09Which means now you take it and take us to the next level of that performance right there.
00:25:19Lucas, more than anything, I felt like you were very genuine in singing it, which was, I don't know.
00:25:25Like I felt it.
00:25:27I felt a little Holy Spirit in the room, which was really wonderful.
00:25:31I also felt a little nerves from you, which I know is impossible.
00:25:34This is a big deal.
00:25:35This is like the real deal now.
00:25:37You know, we've got our top 14.
00:25:39Yep.
00:25:39So, this is serious and you already know that, but just keep doing what you're doing.
00:25:44Yes, man.
00:25:47How are you feeling tonight?
00:25:52Like a weight just going.
00:25:53Yeah, lifted off of you?
00:25:54Yeah, let me tell you.
00:25:55I understand.
00:25:56I mean, you're plucked out of your real life.
00:25:58You have to understand that.
00:25:59For example, you just missed your senior prom, right?
00:26:01I did.
00:26:02I did.
00:26:02Oh, what?
00:26:03Yeah.
00:26:04It's terrible, but, you know, it's one of those things, you know.
00:26:07Well, I bet you would have been prom king.
00:26:24I stopped for a burger on the way in, so I just grabbed that drive-thru.

00:28:52Do you believe it now?
00:28:53Fire day
00:28:54There's gonna be a
00:28:56Fire day
00:29:07Oh, boy, yeah
00:29:16Good job
00:29:28Now, let me tell you what you've just done
00:29:31You see, automatically
00:29:32I never thought I would have to share all night long
00:29:36Now people stop me on the street and go
00:29:38I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're Mr. All Night Long
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability
00:29:45To tell a story
00:29:46And then move the crowd
00:29:49And what you did there was a great
00:29:51Great performance
00:29:53Thank you, sir
00:29:54Thank you
00:29:56I love that
00:29:58I feel like you're so serious
00:30:00Like all the time
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music
00:30:02Gets going
00:30:04Then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel
00:30:05And then the music stops again
00:30:07And you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like
00:30:10I feel like we're watching you
00:30:12Kind of just get into
00:30:13A more comfortable, fun space
00:30:16Like I love that you picked
00:30:17Kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:19Because this would be the chance
00:30:21For a lot of people to do
00:30:22Like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:24I think that's going to
00:30:25Differentiate you tonight
00:30:26A little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:30Yeah
00:30:32Have fun with

00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow
00:30:37And expand
00:30:37And try new things
00:30:38And that's what you did
00:30:39With All Night Long
00:30:40Because we hadn't seen you do that yet
00:30:42And then, like I said
00:30:43This got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek
00:30:49On the way back
00:30:50So
00:30:50You got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but
00:30:53Just keep growing
00:30:54Keep growing

00:31:04Flexibility at its best
00:31:05So, are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher
00:31:10And so I have to be serious

00:31:12That'll do it
00:31:12But what's surreal you?
00:31:13Come on

00:44:49Brayden
00:44:50Growing up in a family where it's cool to see
00:44:53You know, that's got me to this point
00:44:56That was so soulful
00:44:58If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here
00:45:01I think you're a racehorse, man
00:45:03This is my dream
00:45:12Yeah, I don't always feel it
00:45:17Yeah, but that's when I need it the most
00:45:22So I'ma keep on singing
00:45:26Till my soul catches up
00:45:29And there's times when my hands go up freely
00:45:35And times at a cost
00:45:41And there's days when praise comes out easy
00:45:45And days when it takes all the strength I've got
00:45:49So I bring my heart, hope, heart, fail
00:45:53Been through hell
00:45:55Hallelujah
00:45:59And I bring my storm, tossed, torn, stale
00:46:03Story to tell
00:46:04Hallelujah
00:46:08Cause God, you've been patient
00:46:11And God, you've been gracious
00:46:13Faithful whatever I'm feeling and facing
00:46:17So I bring my heart, hope, heart, fail
00:46:22It is well
00:46:23Hallelujah
00:46:45Cause God, you've been patient
00:46:48And God, you've been gracious
00:46:51Faithful whatever I'm feeling
00:46:55So I bring my heart, hope, heart, fail
00:46:59It is well
00:47:02Hallelujah
00:47:06Hallelujah
00:47:07Hallelujah
00:47:08Hallelujah

00:47:44I hope you do
00:47:45Just don't let the moment feel like it's overwhelming you a little bit
00:47:49I mean, just remember
00:47:50That song has a lot of big energy behind it
00:47:53And you sing it great
00:47:54But you got to get wrapped up in this thing
00:47:56I just felt like you may have got a little nervous in the moment
00:47:59But we love your voice
00:48:00Great job on that
00:48:01Yeah
00:48:03All I was going to say to you is

00:53:30And I will try to fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential
00:53:55And star quality and that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Just you and your guitar
00:54:02Great song choice
00:54:03Loved it
00:54:04Thank you
00:54:05What I'm loving most about
00:54:07It's number one in everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now is everybody's carving out their own lane
00:54:15And that was your lane clearly
00:54:17Now what I want you to do on that
00:54:19Is build on it
00:54:21You've got your section
00:54:23But this group right here
00:54:25This 14 is a rough group here, babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand is
00:54:29Carve out your part
00:54:32That's memorable to the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel
00:54:37Thank you
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel on this one
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way to really establishing like your own sound
00:54:45You have a really great way of taking somebody else's song
00:54:50And I mean, we first heard you singing your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good at taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound like the other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Carrie
00:55:06Good to see you, buddy
00:55:07I know you were hanging out with some of the other finalists

00:55:15Yes, and they did all right at the Dodgers, didn't they?
00:55:17They always do
00:55:18By the way
00:55:20They were over there
00:55:21And they were swaying to your song
00:55:22We saw them

00:57:43No, nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:54I'm the blood of Jesus
00:58:15I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:23You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself, and I said, let it go.
00:58:32My goodness. It is a testament to what you're doing.
00:58:38I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that, okay?
00:58:48Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist, and I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like,
00:58:58super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works, and you're here for this time, right now.
00:59:08Wow. That was incredible. You are such an artist. You are so professional, and, like, I don't know.
00:59:17I'm just in awe watching you. It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid, and we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice,
00:59:38and you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you,
00:59:49and we just saw that happen.
00:59:50Wow. Thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:55So I've noticed that you like to sing in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are...
01:00:02I mean, we're not going to show the world. They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right. Well, use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10Can you cover Ron's with the dress also?
01:00:13There you go. That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:18It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah. I like to... I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right. Let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.
01:00:27I feel like the size of a Keebler elf right now.

01:26:34is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes,
01:26:39this is probably the most diverse.
01:26:41When I say that, I mean
01:26:42from every imaginable
01:26:45configuration of genre.
01:26:46You all have managed to

01:26:59How does the competition shift
01:27:02once we go live on the stage?
01:27:04I mean, there's definitely,
01:27:05there's pressure throughout,
01:27:06but it's just a different
01:27:07kind of pressure.
01:27:08You are live.
01:27:09But then it also gives people
01:27:11the chance to rise to the occasion
01:27:13and show us what they got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke, how do you choose?
01:27:19I don't know how America chooses.
01:27:21You got to trust your gut
01:27:22as a voter at home
01:27:24and just pick the people that,
01:27:27pick the artists that are on stage.
01:27:29Just make you smile,
01:27:30make you laugh,
01:27:31make you cry.
01:27:32And I don't know
01:27:35how America's going to do it.
