00:04:43This week, they have the awesome experience of being mentored by country music legend Brad Paisley.
00:04:50And singer and award-winning actress, Kiki Palmer.
00:04:54All right, girl.
00:04:54Here's how it went down with the Grange Georges.
00:04:58Filmingly.
00:05:00Whoa!
00:05:01We're in Hawaii.
00:05:02It's like something out of a movie.
00:05:05Four.
00:05:05I love golfing.
00:05:06I'm definitely not the best golfer in the world, but I just love going out there and strifling down the
00:05:11middle.
00:05:12Back at home, we definitely got some golf courses, but this place is amazing.
00:05:17Let's go.
00:05:18So, it's awesome to be here.
00:05:20Hey!
00:05:20How are you doing?
00:05:21Nice to meet you.
00:05:22It was amazing seeing Kiki and Brad.
00:05:24They were super cool.
00:05:25I'm excited to hear what you're going to be singing.
00:05:27I know you're very soulful.
00:05:28So, what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
00:05:32Fabulous.
00:05:32That's cool.
00:05:33Just a small town, girl.
00:05:35My journey so far, each round, I've gotten more nervous than nervous because I'm chasing my dreams.
00:05:41My knees are shaking, dude.
00:05:42How you holding up?
00:05:43A little nervous.
00:05:44I'm not too confident.
00:05:45What would you say is the main thing that makes you nervous?
00:05:47Just trying to be perfect.
00:05:48I'm a huge critic on myself, so.
00:05:50I can relate.
00:05:51Man, I'm in the top 20 of American Idol.
00:05:53From LaGrange, Georgia, a small town.
00:05:55It's just amazing.
00:05:56I think my family thinks the same way.
00:05:59Oh, damn.
00:06:03I think my family thinks the same way, so hopefully I get to go even further.
00:06:08I haven't been told no yet, but.
00:06:11I can't talk right.
00:06:12I can't even breathe.
00:06:13The nerve stuff, you take that energy and you let it be a part of the performance.
00:06:17It's kind of like a trick that you can do with your mind.
00:06:19The jitters when you're getting up on that stage.
00:06:21I think the hardest part of the song is the first part.
00:06:25Yes!
00:06:25Like, the second part's give it all you got, you know, and you do that.
00:06:28Let me hear that first verse again.
00:06:30Living in a lonely world.
00:06:33That's the note, lonely.
00:06:35Those first few falsetto notes are just the ones to not get tripped up on.
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:39Because then everybody breathes easy.
00:06:41I think if Philman hits those notes in the beginning, he's got a real chance of going on.
00:06:46It's just a big stage.
00:06:48I just want to make sure my family's proud.
00:06:51It would just mean the world to keep going.
00:06:53I want to keep singing for everybody.
00:07:04Come on, sing it now.
00:07:10She took the midnight train going anywhere.
00:07:19Just a city bar.
00:07:21I want to raise your side to turn.
00:07:27He took the midnight train going anywhere.
00:07:35I see the wind smoking room.
00:07:39I smell a wild chip and fuel.
00:07:42Come on now.
00:07:43For a smile that can share the night goes on and on and on and on.
00:07:50Stranger waiting up and down the boulevard.
00:07:59Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:06The streetlights.
00:08:09The streetlights.
00:08:10The streetlights.
00:08:11Living just to find the emotion.
00:08:15Hiding somewhere in the night.
00:08:23Don't stop believing.
00:08:27Look, fill the night.
00:08:34Hold on.
00:08:34We'll hum.
00:08:43Hold on to the feeling.
00:08:47Oh, God.
00:08:48By the people.
00:08:48Three light people.
00:08:51Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:08:59oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh don't tell that feeling
00:09:10There you go!
00:09:12We're gonna kick it off the show!
00:09:14There you go, buddy!
00:09:15Thanks, sir!
00:09:16How'd it feel to kick everything off tonight?
00:09:18I'm glad I got it out of the way.
00:09:19Now I can enjoy the rest of the day.
00:09:22By the way, your hair does not move.
00:09:24It does not move, that entire performance.
00:09:26My mom have to give you the secret.
00:09:28Some type of hairspray, the thing just does not move, so.
00:09:32I'm available one minute after the show is over for that tip.
00:09:35Let's go to the judges.
00:09:37All right, so at the beginning, I said,
00:09:39please don't let this song intimidate you.
00:09:43You stepped up.
00:09:44The first time, I was a little scared for you.
00:09:46And then you leaned into it.
00:09:49You did a great job, man.
00:09:50Thank you so much, Treshelle.
00:09:54Filmin', I was very nervous for a second.
00:09:56But when I seen you take that mic off that stand,
00:09:59you started walking, getting a little swag to your step.
00:10:02The vocals were hitting every note they needed to hit.
00:10:06Excellent job. I'm so proud of you.
00:10:07Thank you, Treshelle.
00:10:08I'm so proud of you, Treshelle.
00:10:10I love that you made it your own.
00:10:13I mean, everybody knows this song.
00:10:15It's been done in, like, every karaoke setting.
00:10:18On planet Earth.
00:10:19So true.
00:10:20But you took it and you put your own spin on it.
00:10:22If there's one thing that I could tell you to do a little bit more,
00:10:26it's just relax.
00:10:27I kind of felt your brain working a little bit.
00:10:29And that's not a bad thing, because, you know, this is a big deal.
00:10:32But just get into it and try to shut your brain off.
00:10:35I know it's hard, but try.
00:10:36Thank you so much.
00:10:39Man, vocals, you don't need to worry about vocals.
00:10:43But now, channel that inner, like, tiger, that warrior, you know.
00:10:48If you could just amp your performance energy up a little bit, man,
00:10:51you're gonna surprise yourself.
00:10:53Thank you, Luke. Thank you.
00:10:57Relax a little bit.
00:10:59It is Aulani at Disney Resort and Spa,
00:11:01if you want to start relaxing right there.

00:11:26The party on the beach is just getting started.
00:11:28Much more music on the way.
00:11:30Ray wants to earn your respect when Ida returns.
00:11:34Do not move.
00:11:37You nailed it.
00:11:39That was so good, baby.
00:11:40The party started.
00:11:49Welcome back to the show.
00:11:51The journey for our finalists to this incredible stage
00:11:53has been an emotional one, especially for a Maryland native Ray.
00:11:57Here's your time with Brad Pacey and Kiki Palmer.
00:12:04Hi.
00:12:04Hi, Marie.
00:12:05Hi, Marie.
00:12:07Kiki is my girl.
00:12:09I love her.
00:12:10Nice to meet you.
00:12:11I love you so much.
00:12:12Kiki is just unapologetically herself.
00:12:15And I just want to be just like that.
00:12:17I'm singing Respect by Aretha Franklin.
00:12:19Respect, yeah.
00:12:19R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:20So what makes you say Aretha?
00:12:23I grew up on Aretha.
00:12:25My mom just always played Aretha everywhere.
00:12:27And she just told me, like, you're going to command the stage
00:12:29like her.
00:12:30You're going to command the stage.
00:12:32R-E-S-B-E-C-T.
00:12:34Find out what it means to me.
00:12:36So let's talk about what you're going to do on stage.
00:12:38I don't have any choreography.
00:12:39And I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it.
00:12:44But, like, I don't know.
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional and I'm crying.
00:12:48So now I'm having fun.
00:12:51And I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:53It's just markers.
00:12:55Like, by this point of the song, I'm going to go to the right.
00:12:58By this point of the song, I'm going to go to the left.
00:13:00All it would take is one of those notes this way or this way.
00:13:04And I think that audience will go crazy.
00:13:08Yeah.
00:13:11Yeah.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:13Yeah.
00:13:14It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:17Yeah.
00:13:17It's just the dynamics are so right.
00:13:19I love that you gave us an array of what your vocals could do in this song.
00:13:23Kiki loved my dynamics?
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:26Like, life made.
00:13:28I'm, like, already...
00:13:29I've been, like, crying.
00:13:30Oh, man.
00:13:31Being able to sing this in front of you is, like...
00:13:34Oh, my God.
00:13:34Like, I'm going to be like, I manifested this moment.
00:13:37Oh, my gosh.
00:13:40I'm so glad that I did this dream of the song.
00:13:43I'm just so glad we get to have this moment.
00:13:45The song means so much to me.
00:13:47Why I'm singing it means so much to me.
00:13:50And I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:13:57What you want, baby, I got it.

00:16:07Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm
00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire
00:16:12Girl, I'm not playing
00:16:15You were singing down
00:16:16I even heard a little talking personality throughout
00:16:18when you hit that move at the end
00:16:20I mean, it was just the performance was established
00:16:22from top to bottom. You gave us stage presents
00:16:24You gave us the outfit. I mean, it's giving Mary J. Blige
00:16:27Oh, whoa, whoa
00:16:29Whoa, whoa
00:16:30I just live, mama
00:16:33So we've known you for a bit
00:16:35and we've been in these like much more subdued situations
00:16:39I feel like this was the missing ingredient
00:16:42We always knew you could sing, but you can entertain
00:16:46Like you were having fun with it
00:16:49There you go, there, there
00:16:50You completely made it your own
00:16:52You weren't trying to copy anybody

00:19:26And they all come out to shows and all of that
00:19:28Oh my gosh!
00:19:29And I do play one of your songs in almost every gig
00:19:32Oh really?
00:19:32I'm a massive Brad Payson fan
00:19:36Well I'm gonna miss her
00:19:39I play the farmer's market a lot in Nashville
00:19:41Yeah, yeah
00:19:41It gets the tips
00:19:43I'm a big fan of Brad just because his guitar playing
00:19:45His singing, his songwriting, his stage presence, everything about him
00:19:49I'm sure I'll be on the Opry in the next couple months
00:19:52Maybe you can come to that and then we can walk around backstage
00:19:54That would be awesome, thank you so much
00:19:56So what song are you doing today?
00:19:58I'm gonna be doing Just to See You Smile
00:19:59It's one of my favorite songs ever written
00:20:02Just to see you smile
00:20:06I'd do anything
00:20:07You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song
00:20:10And then acknowledge there's an audience
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me
00:20:15But I was loving the eye
00:20:17So it's a very heartfelt interpretation of Tim's thing
00:20:21It doesn't sound like Tim and it shouldn't
00:20:23It sounds like you and that's hard to do
00:20:26Differentiating yourself is the name of the game on a show like this
00:20:29It really is
00:20:29Absolutely
00:20:30You know they say don't meet your heroes
00:20:31But I'm really glad I met Brad
00:20:33So hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage
00:20:41You've always had a knife for things to glitter
00:20:46And I was far from being made of gold
00:20:51I don't know how but I've scrimped up the money
00:20:56Oh, I just never could quite tell you no
00:21:01But just like when you were leaving Emory, Lord
00:21:07Taking that new job in Tennessee
00:21:12And I quit mine so we could be together
00:21:16And I can't forget the way you looked at me
00:21:20But just to see you smile
00:21:25But just to see you smile
00:21:26I'd do anything
00:21:27That you wanted me to
00:21:32And all is said and done
00:21:35I'd never count a call
00:21:38I'd never count a call
00:21:39It's one thought that's lost
00:21:43Just to see you smile
00:21:47Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted
00:21:52When you came walking up to me with him
00:21:57I told you
00:21:59I told you that I was happy for you
00:22:02And given the chance I'd like it
00:22:06I'd never count a call
00:22:11I'd never count a call
00:22:13It's one thought that you wanted me to
00:22:17And all is said and done
00:22:21I'd never count a call
00:22:23I'd never count a call
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost
00:22:29Just to see you smile
00:22:36Just to see you smile
00:22:38Just to see you smile
00:22:40Yeah!
00:22:44Yeah!
00:22:49Lovely!
00:22:49It was lovely
00:22:50It was lovely
00:22:51It was lovely
00:22:53You know, you made that so comfortable
00:22:55Yes
00:22:56I almost forgot that you were a contestant
00:22:59That's what you want
00:23:00You want comfort
00:23:01You want people to understand
00:23:03That this is what you do naturally
00:23:06And what you just performed there
00:23:07Was about as natural as you were ever gonna get
00:23:09It was fantastic
00:23:10Thank you
00:23:10Thank you
00:23:12I agree with everything that Lionel said
00:23:15Because you literally transported us into your world
00:23:17I felt like I was at a beach club
00:23:19I was at a festival
00:23:20You know, I haven't been in love in ages
00:23:22I'm single as a Pringle
00:23:24And I felt romantic
00:23:26Because you set the tone
00:23:27You were making me smile
00:23:29I mean, I just loved it
00:23:30You are very much you
00:23:31And you did a fabulous job
00:23:32Thank you so much
00:23:34Single as a Pringle
00:23:36Your voice is so...
00:23:38It is powerful
00:23:39It is beautiful
00:23:40And there is something really special about the simplicity
00:23:43You don't try to over sing
00:23:45There you go
00:23:46You're like laid back in the pocket
00:23:47There you go
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you
00:23:50And to watch you
00:23:51Thank you so much
00:23:52I loved it
00:23:53Yeah
00:23:54Luke Ryan
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering
00:23:58Keep making us feel comfortable
00:24:00But also keep adding the pressure and intensity
00:24:03There you go
00:24:04And pick songs that really pull you outside of your comfort zone
00:24:07But you just keep knocking every performance out of the park
00:24:10Thank you so much
00:24:11Thank you
00:24:13Luke predicted you would make your hometown's Wikipedia page at some point, right?
00:24:19Maybe old Lucas Leon
00:24:21Maybe
00:24:22He's got a spot here on the Wikipedia
00:24:23Maybe
00:24:24So I was just backstage doing my research
00:24:26Gallatin, Tennessee
00:24:28And look at this
00:24:29Lucas Leon, American Idol, season 24 contestant
00:24:35Lucas Leon, you gotta vote for him right now
00:24:37If you want his idol journey to live on
00:24:39There's multiple ways to cast your votes
00:24:41Head on over to American Idol.com for all the details
00:24:43Lucas Leon, everyone
00:24:45All right, buddy
00:24:45Thank you, congrats
00:24:46Well done
00:24:51The next worship director, Jordan McCullough
00:24:54Takes on a U2 crowd pleaser
00:24:56Here's how he impressed
00:24:57Right?
00:25:01How you liking Hawaii?
00:25:03Girl, I'm trying to figure out how I can stay a little long
00:25:04Yes!
00:25:05Because my goodness
00:25:06The sun is nice
00:25:07The water is nice
00:25:08Goofy!
00:25:09I got to meet Goofy
00:25:11I honestly felt like a little kid when I saw him
00:25:13Oh my God
00:25:14How did it go in your last performance?
00:25:17I came in a little unsure
00:25:18Jordan!
00:25:19But it landed me the platinum ticket
00:25:21The hopefuls voted for me
00:25:22And it was amazing
00:25:23I felt so honored
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on
00:25:26Because I feel like a lot of people are looking at me
00:25:28To see, okay, how can he follow up?
00:25:30So what are you singing today?
00:25:31Today I'm singing Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
00:25:33Okay
00:25:33By U2
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre
00:25:36I picked this song because it talks about
00:25:38I still haven't found what I'm looking for
00:25:40But honestly, as I'm continuing my journey in American Idol
00:25:43I've kind of finally found what I'm looking for
00:25:46I'm finding my passion
00:25:47I have run through the field
00:25:52I'm kind of known right now for the showstopper experience
00:25:55And I want to just show the judges that I can actually just stand here and sing too
00:25:58Just me
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed in college
00:26:04So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice
00:26:06You know what I'm saying?
00:26:07That's like definitely bold and it could be risky
00:26:10He's taking a risk, but I think it'll pay off
00:26:12You gotta swing for that fence
00:26:14I mean, for me, it really says I'm out here without a net
00:26:17That's the energy that I'm looking for
00:26:20Okay
00:26:20I can't wait to see how this goes
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort for sure
00:26:24But my approach will be a little bit different than what America has seen
00:26:28And I hope that they will enjoy it and love it too
00:26:38I have climbed the highest mountains
00:26:47I have run through the fields
00:26:57Only to be with you
00:27:02Only to be with you
00:27:08I have run through
00:27:12I have crawled
00:27:16I have scaled
00:27:17These city walls
00:27:21These city walls
00:27:24These city walls
00:27:28Only to be with you
00:27:33But I still have it found
00:27:39But I still have it found
00:27:43Oh, what I'm looking for
00:27:47Ball
00:27:53I said
00:27:54I believe
00:27:56In the kingdom come
00:27:58With all the colors
00:28:00Bleed into one
00:28:03Bleeding into one
00:28:06But he asked, I'm still running
00:28:10You broke the box
00:28:15You lose the chains
00:28:18Can't read the cross
00:28:20Oh, my shame
00:28:22Oh, my shame
00:28:26You know I believe that
00:28:30Yeah, yeah
00:28:32But I still haven't found
00:28:37What I'm looking for
00:28:41But I still haven't found
00:28:46What I'm looking for
00:28:51But I still haven't found
00:29:05What I'm looking for
00:29:25Beautiful job with that YouTube song
00:29:26You're shaking up here a little bit, huh?
00:29:30That emotion, a little overwhelming
00:29:32What were you feeling at the end?
00:29:33Yeah, man, it's so ironic to sing a song
00:29:35About, man, not finding what you're looking for
00:29:37I've done many things
00:29:38I've tried many things
00:29:39But tonight, looking out and seeing all of you guys
00:29:42I feel like I finally have found
00:29:45What I'm looking for
00:29:49I think that Jordan has used
00:29:52Up all the notes
00:29:55Possible
00:29:57In the music business
00:30:00First of all, Jordan
00:30:01To take a U2 song
00:30:03And turn it into spiritual
00:30:06That's a feat
00:30:08And then on top of that
00:30:10Turn the U2 song into your song
00:30:14Is the way you win competitions
00:30:17Thank you so much
00:30:19Thank you
00:30:22I love that Lionel used the word spiritual
00:30:25Because I feel like I just had
00:30:27The most amazing moment
00:30:29Listening to you
00:30:30Because we're in this
00:30:31Heavenly made place
00:30:33Listening to your anointed voice
00:30:36Yes
00:30:36Like, praise the Lord
00:30:38For all of this
00:30:40Because it was absolutely
00:30:42Just mind-blowing
00:30:43That was incredible, Jordan
00:30:45Thank you so much
00:30:46You are so blessed
00:30:47Thank you
00:30:48Thank you
00:30:49I receive it
00:30:51Jordan
00:30:53What I have to say
00:30:54Is just to everyone
00:30:55Because when we see a talent
00:30:56Like you come up on the stage
00:30:57I think the thought is
00:30:58Oh, they're safe
00:30:59America, you still gotta vote
00:31:01Know that at the end of the day
00:31:02No matter how great he is

00:31:10That's all I gotta say
00:31:11Thank you
00:31:13Your vocal command
00:31:14And your presence
00:31:16Like, when you hit your first note
00:31:18Everybody pays attention to you
00:31:19Because you know how to really
00:31:21Own that moment
00:31:22And your voice is that big
00:31:24And to be able to navigate the notes
00:31:26To take us on this journey
00:31:28Man, you're a powerhouse singer
00:31:30Wow
00:31:31And you keep surprising me
00:31:33You know, the Ohana rounds
00:31:35When you came out
00:31:36And did what you did
00:31:37I was like
00:31:37Who is this guy?
00:31:39Look at him
00:31:39And that's what it takes
00:31:41To get through each round
00:31:42Of this competition
00:31:42And win the thing
00:31:44So great job
00:31:45Thank you so much

00:33:34Amazing.
00:33:35Well done.
00:33:36Lots of rehearsal, and you did it on the American Idol stage.
00:33:39Mahalo for being with us tonight.
00:33:41Who knows?
00:33:42Maybe one of them will be on American Idol season 35.
00:33:48Only time will tell.
00:33:50Now, here is this year's youngest competitor, 16-year-old Abayomi.
00:33:54Good job, y'all.
00:33:59Nice to meet you.
00:34:01So thrilled to meet you.
00:34:03So what are you singing today?
00:34:04I'm singing Mama Knows Best by Jessie J.
00:34:06Okay.
00:34:07I'm dedicating this song to my mother.
00:34:09My mom has always been there for me.
00:34:11She's the reason I started performing.
00:34:13She's a rapper.
00:34:17She's a teacher and getting her bachelor's degree, all while being a mother, a single mother.
00:34:22It's insane to me.
00:34:23I want her to just feel like everything she's put into me is finally pouring out.
00:34:28I love you, and you got this.
00:34:32I'm so excited that I'm going to get to see you do your thing.
00:34:35Mama knows best when times get hard.
00:34:39You and I were talented at 16, but I was failing my third driver's test by now.
00:34:44Her focus is really there.
00:34:48See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:34:50See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:34:52On those Mama Knows Best, and we hear that boom, boom, I want to see a step forward, you
00:34:57know, really leaning into the audience on those moments, because it's kind of like the
00:35:00direct kind of...
00:35:00You confronting them.
00:35:01Yes.
00:35:02See, Mama, Mama knows best.
00:35:04See, Daddy, Daddy knows best.
00:35:07So you're dedicating this to your mom.
00:35:09Is she here?
00:35:09Yes, she is here.
00:35:11Really?
00:35:11Oh, I think I see her.
00:35:13Oh, she's here.
00:35:13Oh, my gosh.
00:35:15Oh, my gosh.
00:35:16Oh, you look beautiful.
00:35:17This woman was wonderful, for sure.
00:35:19Mama's so sweet.
00:35:20Now, are you the singer or the rapper?
00:35:21Are you a mama the best?
00:35:22All right.
00:35:23My mama sings.
00:35:24Hey!
00:35:26Hey, girl!
00:35:27The fact that she's dedicating the song to her mom, I love the lineage you respect.
00:35:31I want her to be herself.
00:35:32I just felt like that's all you can bring is yourself, and I felt like God ordained this.
00:35:36This is already predestined, so regardless of whatever happens, I felt like she's a winner.
00:35:41Mama knows best.
00:35:42Yes!
00:35:43Wow!
00:35:55Well, there is something going down like a storm in the sky.
00:36:03I, I ain't gonna be played by your behavior.
00:36:10How can I trust someone who's lying to me?
00:36:13And so, while I go, and I said, while I leave, I said, take your bath and go, cause you're
00:36:22not for me enough.
00:36:25Mama knows best when I get a heart, and Papa always has a toll to make me mad.
00:36:34Mama knows best when I feel down to bring me up and always keep my day on.
00:36:42You like it, you like it?
00:36:44You like it?
00:36:44I like it?
00:36:45I like it!
00:36:45I like it!
00:36:46I like it!
00:36:46I think the best thing my daddy said to me, always use humor as you're there with me.
00:36:55Wow!
00:36:56Don't ever change too seriously, just do you, cause you can use those perfectly, yeah!
00:37:05Yeah, yeah.
00:37:14See mama, mama knows it.
00:37:17See daddy, daddy knows it.
00:37:20See mama, mama knows.
00:37:22Come on, yeah.
00:37:24See mama, you're the best friend.
00:37:27Can't get a hug.
00:37:29And pop always had a joke to make me laugh.
00:37:33And mama knows best when I get down.
00:37:38So bring me up and know it's in my feet.
00:37:42On the ground.
00:37:46Mama knows best.
00:37:55All my homie, everyone.
00:37:58Wow, incredible.
00:38:00I spent a couple seconds with your mom and grandma.
00:38:03Could you hear them screaming on what you were singing?
00:38:05Kind of.
00:38:07I love you guys.
00:38:10I think they love you too.
00:38:12Lionel Richie.
00:38:13That's how you're doing.
00:38:13Somebody get some help over to mom over here in the corner, right?
00:38:18So, so, so listen, this 16-year-old is driving a steamroll.
00:38:22All right?
00:38:24Up.
00:38:24That was absolutely in charge, in power.
00:38:30You were rolling down the road just killing it.
00:38:34You killed it.
00:38:35That's all.
00:38:35Just killed it.
00:38:36Thank you so much.
00:38:37Killed it.
00:38:38You were like a Disney star in the making.
00:38:41I feel like you're so relatable.
00:38:43Absolutely.
00:38:43Like you're living your best life on the stage.
00:38:46And you are doing so with like such a vocal maturity, but also just the way you're handling yourself.
00:38:53Yep.
00:38:53I feel like we're just gonna watch you blossom in front of us throughout this competition.
00:38:57And I'm excited to see where that takes us.
00:38:59So good.
00:38:59So good.
00:38:59Because you're always thinking good.
00:39:01So good.
00:39:02So good.
00:39:03It is not easy to command a stage in a competition like this, especially as a young'un.
00:39:08But you did just that.

00:39:20I love the outfit that you chose.
00:39:22You walked around.
00:39:23You told the story.
00:39:24And I mean, I gotta say, mama knows best.
00:39:27Yes, she do.
00:39:29So many star qualities.
00:39:31You don't operate like you're a 16-year-old.
00:39:34And don't start anytime soon.
00:39:35Just be confident in what you are.
00:39:38Because you have every right to be.
00:39:41I mean, that was a great performance from top to bottom.

00:43:46I'm so happy to be here with you at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:43:51This is what heaven looks like.
00:43:54Thank you, American Idol.
00:43:56It's so good to be back.
00:43:58Hey.
00:43:59Hey.
00:44:02Ah.
00:44:03You're looking at a real world.
00:44:05Woo!
00:44:06Yeah!
00:44:10Woo!
00:44:11Woo!
00:44:11Kiki Palmer.
00:44:12Mickey and Minnie.
00:44:13Woo!
00:44:13Amazing.
00:44:15So fun.
00:44:17The best.
00:44:18Now, hold on for a second.
00:44:20So, just thinking about Kiki, by the way, thank you for being here for the mentorship that
00:44:25you're providing, the energy, the guidance you're giving.
00:44:28It's my pleasure.
00:44:29It's my pleasure.
00:44:30Woo!
00:44:30Woo!
00:44:31So, she can sing, obviously.
00:44:33She can dance.
00:44:35She can act.
00:44:35You also have a podcast.
00:44:37Ugh.
00:44:38And I gotta have you on my podcast.
00:44:39What is the name of the podcast?
00:44:41It's called, Baby, This is Kiki Palmer.
00:44:45And what is, what does Kiki Palmer talk about on Baby, This is Kiki Palmer?
00:44:49Well, you know, I'm curious and I like to talk to icons such as yourself to learn how
00:44:52you got to be this way.
00:44:54But the, the fact that you call me an icon with Mickey next to me, that was very, very
00:44:58generous.
00:44:59Kiki Palmer, one more time, everybody.
00:45:02That was amazing.
00:45:04Coming up, the depth of the talent this year is off the charts and hoping to prove just
00:45:09that is Madison Moon.
00:45:11She takes the idol stage after the break, right after this.
00:45:29Looking good.
00:45:30Back with you on American Idol.
00:45:32We always love the backdrop here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:45:35What better place to chase the idol dream?
00:45:38Hoping to shine tonight, it's Madison Moon.
00:45:46Guys, look at it.
00:45:47Oh my goodness.
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere, my family finds a sunset.
00:45:52Being able to do that in Hawaii means everything.
00:45:55Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57It literally doesn't even feel real.
00:45:59My dad got to join me in meeting Kiki Palmer and Brad Paisley.
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice from my daddy.
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist and he pours his heart and soul into it.
00:46:09He had a high school band.
00:46:11He got asked to be the lead singer of Pantera, which was dope.
00:46:15Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:17I'll do it for him.
00:46:18He wanted to pursue it further, but he decided to give that up to raise a family.
00:46:24Don't stop believing.
00:46:27The world kind of missed out on him as a musician.
00:46:33Streetlights people.
00:46:39Oh my gosh.
00:46:40You're so good.
00:46:41Oh my gosh.
00:46:43Yes.
00:46:43It's a moment I'll never forget.
00:46:45What are you doing for us today?
00:46:47Since you've been gone, Kelly Clarkson.
00:46:49Okay.
00:46:49It's very bold, especially doing a song by a former idol.
00:46:53Since you've been gone, I can't breathe for the first time.
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks in this competition.
00:47:02I haven't played it safe and I'm not going to.
00:47:05It's pretty crazy what's in the tank.
00:47:07You were feeling it and being fun and not taking it too seriously,
00:47:10but also giving in when it was time.
00:47:12And again and again and again.
00:47:16Woo!
00:47:16There was a moment with the note where I was like,
00:47:18uh-oh, how are you feeling about the big note?
00:47:20I wasn't really, you know, doing all the warm-ups and stuff today.
00:47:24Yeah.
00:47:24One thing that always helped me be to lean in.
00:47:27If I go left, let me go all the way left.
00:47:30You know, it's never any mistakes because we don't really know what you was trying to do.
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure.
00:47:35If I don't hit this note, I'm going home.
00:47:46Here's the thing, we started out friends.
00:47:50It was cool, but it was all pretend.
00:47:53Yeah, yeah.
00:47:56Soon to be gone.
00:47:59And all you'd ever hear me say is how I picture me with you.
00:48:06That's all you'd ever hear me say.
00:48:10Said you'd be gone.
00:48:13I can't breathe for the first time.
00:48:17I'm stronger than I am.
00:48:21Thanks to you.
00:48:23Now I get what I want.
00:48:28Did you be gone?
00:48:30You were the changed in the way.
00:48:33Out of sight.
00:48:35Out of mind.
00:48:37Shut your mouth, but just get taken.
00:48:41Again and again and again and again and again.
00:48:53I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:57So moving on, yeah, yeah
00:49:01Thanks to you, how I get
00:49:04I get what I want
00:49:08I can't breathe for the first time
00:49:12So moving on, yeah
00:49:15Thanks to you, how I get
00:49:19You should know, how I get
00:49:23I get what I want
00:49:27Since you've been gone
00:49:30Since you've been gone
00:49:33Since you've been gone
00:49:36Wow
00:49:39Wow
00:49:40Thank you, y'all
00:49:43Taking on one of Idol's biggest voices
00:49:45Wow, wow
00:49:47Amazing to watch you
00:49:49And then I spoke to your father
00:49:50Who was singing every lyric as well
00:49:52Down there, it was brilliant
00:49:53He was like
00:49:55I love you, Daddy
00:49:57What was that, what was that face you did?
00:50:00There it is
00:50:03So earlier today, I was like over in my room
00:50:06And I could hear this song kind of being played
00:50:09I couldn't see anything, so I didn't really know
00:50:11But I was like, I bet that's Madison
00:50:14Like that hat
00:50:15So she's the only one that I feel like could go for this and pull it off
00:50:19And you did
00:50:19I love your voice so much
00:50:21I love that you're just you
00:50:23You've got incredible pipes
00:50:25That's a tall order song
00:50:27Like nobody wants to sing this song
00:50:29Because it's really hard
00:50:30And you tackled it, girl
00:50:35You just
00:50:37Honestly blew my wig off my head
00:50:39Man, there's no doubt about it
00:50:40When I tell you
00:50:42Power
00:50:44You have it in spades
00:50:45I kept thinking at some point
00:50:47Okay, she's going to take a breath
00:50:48She's going to come back down
00:50:49Give a moment
00:50:50Girl, you stayed
00:50:53FM all the way through the end
00:50:54It was amazing
00:50:55Amazing
00:50:57Keep that mentality
00:50:59Keep that rocker
00:51:01Energy
00:51:03Pushing yourself
00:51:04Surprising us with what you can do
00:51:06You went after that
00:51:07And you nailed it
00:51:08And like I said
00:51:09You're the one that can do it
00:51:10Be that person
00:51:11Be that sign of it
00:51:14Thank you
00:51:15You have such an incredible voice
00:51:17She's so powerful
00:51:18And I was nervous for a second
00:51:19I'm like
00:51:19Is she going to hit that Kelly note
00:51:21That we know
00:51:21Why don't nobody want to sing this song?
00:51:23And you did it
00:51:24I've been a fan of American Idol
00:51:26Since the beginning
00:51:27And this season
00:51:28Has some of the best singers
00:51:29I've seen in a really long time

00:51:36What you do next
00:51:37After all of that

00:51:40What's going on with that tear there?
00:51:41What are you feeling?
00:51:42I'm just so happy
00:51:43This is everything I want to do
00:51:44And to see my family watching me
00:51:46And literally sobbing with me
00:51:47It's insane
00:51:48And I just respect all of you guys

00:52:57This morning I woke up early
00:52:58And went to the spa
00:53:01This was the first time
00:53:02Ever being pampered
00:53:03This is the best
00:53:04I've been enjoying
00:53:05The princess treatment
00:53:06But I don't think
00:53:06It's going to last very long
00:53:08When I'm not here
00:53:09With American Idol
00:53:10I'm working
00:53:11And I'm trying to pay bills
00:53:13I don't really have
00:53:14A whole lot of downtime
00:53:15So being in a spa
00:53:15For the first time
00:53:16Was so nice
00:53:18This round
00:53:19I'll be singing
00:53:20Apologize by Warner Public
00:53:21Classic
00:53:22Yeah, classic
00:53:23When I was about 12, 13
00:53:24I would hop on my bike
00:53:26With my papers
00:53:27And do my paper out
00:53:27And I'd listen to the song
00:53:29Over and over
00:53:29And over again
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope
00:53:32Got me 10 feet off
00:53:34This is one of the more
00:53:37Intimate things
00:53:38Somebody's done
00:53:38Yeah
00:53:39I want to make this one
00:53:40A little bit more fun
00:53:41A song that people know
00:53:42A song that people
00:53:43Want to sing along to
00:53:44But also with intimacy
00:53:45But fun is different
00:53:46For everybody
00:53:47Right
00:53:47So we don't have to be
00:53:48Everybody's version of fun
00:53:49Exactly
00:53:50But I think letting that hair down
00:53:51Yeah
00:53:52I don't know what you're wearing
00:53:53But a little unbuttoned
00:53:54You know what I mean
00:53:55Very handsome
00:53:55So leaning into that appeal
00:53:57Thank you
00:53:57I think with this song
00:53:58Will bring the funness
00:54:00That you're also looking to
00:54:01Yeah absolutely
00:54:03Yes
00:54:05There you go
00:54:06I said it's too late
00:54:08To apologize
00:54:11It's too late
00:54:13He wants to make it fun
00:54:15Well in my mind
00:54:16I want to see you
00:54:17Lean into your image
00:54:19Yeah
00:54:19Yeah
00:54:19I'm telling you
00:54:20Working everything you got
00:54:22I wish I could do that
00:54:24I can't do that
00:54:25I might have to take Kiki's
00:54:26Advice and let my hair down
00:54:28And drop a button or two
00:54:29That's it
00:54:30That was giving
00:54:31Yes
00:54:31Yeah
00:54:33Yeah
00:54:42I'm holding on your robe
00:54:44Got me ten feet off the ground
00:54:49And I'm hearing what you say
00:54:52But I just can't make a sound
00:54:57You tell me that you need me
00:55:00Then you go and cut me down
00:55:03Away
00:55:05Tell me that you saw me
00:55:08Didn't think I'd turn around
00:55:11And say
00:55:12That it's too late to apologize
00:55:17It's too late
00:55:20I said it's too late to apologize
00:55:25It's too late
00:55:33I want to sing that song, boy
00:55:37I'll take another chance
00:55:39Take a fall
00:55:40Take a shot for you
00:55:44And I need you
00:55:46And I need you
00:55:46Like a heart needs to be
00:55:48But it's nothing new
00:55:53I loved you with the fire
00:55:55You're red
00:55:56Now it's burning blue
00:56:01Sorry like an angel
00:56:03Heaven let me think
00:56:04It was you
00:56:08Because it's too late to apologize
00:56:12It's too late
00:56:16I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:30I said it's too late to apologize
00:56:36It's too late to apologize
00:56:38It's too late to apologize
00:57:05In every note
00:57:05I'm thinking about it
00:57:06I gotta make it perfect
00:57:07Second verse
00:57:11You joined us
00:57:12I mean
00:57:13From that point on
00:57:14You just kind of let go
00:57:15And delivered the goods
00:57:17Enjoy that stage
00:57:18You've got the gifts
00:57:20Thank you, Lionel
00:57:22To Keith
00:57:24Chris, you have a great voice
00:57:26But you also have a great vibe
00:57:27And the way that you transformed the song
00:57:29It was like, okay
00:57:30I'm getting the Chris version of this song
00:57:32And I think for me
00:57:33I want to hear more of you
00:57:34To really get into that vibe
00:57:35Of what makes Chris, Chris
00:57:37And so to Lionel's point
00:57:38I want to see you get more comfortable
00:57:39I want to see you get relaxed
00:57:40I want to come into your world
00:57:42Because I know that there's a lot there
00:57:43Thank you, Keith

00:58:00But you've got this
00:58:02Mysterious, sexy vibe going

00:58:06You need to know that
00:58:08I like what

00:58:16I mean this as a compliment
00:58:17If it's one of your kind of
00:58:20Superpowers

01:00:43Would bring me
01:00:43To places like this
01:00:45And
01:00:45It happened
01:00:49Being here in Hawaii
01:00:50Has been so different
01:00:51From being back home
01:00:51Just to see
01:00:53This part of the world
01:00:54It is different
01:00:59This is a whole
01:01:00I want to be
01:01:01My first
01:01:01Aulani one ever

01:01:31Being here has been great
01:01:32I mean I think I've
01:01:33Definitely had some time
01:01:34To relax
01:01:34And soak up the sun
01:01:36And I've gotten to do
01:01:37Some really cool things
01:01:37Around the resort
01:01:38With my family
01:01:39The Mickey waffles
01:01:40Are like my favorite
01:01:41Things ever

01:01:50I'm just like
01:01:51Really excited
01:01:51And proud to be here
01:01:52Hey
01:01:53Hi there
01:01:54How are you
01:01:54What's up Ruby Rake
01:01:55For the beach round
01:01:56I'm going to be singing
01:01:57Drag Me Down
01:01:57By One Direction
01:01:58Why this song?
01:01:59I chose this song
01:02:00As kind of a thank you
01:02:01To my three older brothers
01:02:02Because they were
01:02:04My biggest supporters
01:02:05When I was dealing
01:02:06With some mean girls
01:02:07Back in middle school
01:02:08Uh oh
01:02:09I decided when I was 11
01:02:11That it would be a fun idea
01:02:12To shave my head
01:02:13So I had a buzz cut
01:02:15I have some photos
01:02:16Please show us
01:02:17That's
01:02:17Wow
01:02:18I ended up like
01:02:19Losing a lot of my friends
01:02:21Because of it
01:02:21Because of that?
01:02:22Yes
01:02:22So my brothers
01:02:23They had my back
01:02:24And so this is like
01:02:24A thank you
01:02:25Nobody can drag me down
01:02:26With their love
01:02:27And support
01:02:27Okay
01:02:28Oh I love that
01:02:29All my life
01:02:31You stood by me
01:02:33It's an amazing thing
01:02:34That one of the most
01:02:35Formative events
01:02:36Of her life
01:02:36Was a bullying
01:02:38For a really trivial thing
01:02:39I think that's actually
01:02:41Going to serve her
01:02:41Use that experience
01:02:43To really grab this audience
01:02:45It's certainly a song
01:02:46That embodies the hope
01:02:48And the struggle
01:02:48And that's great
01:02:50Thank you
01:02:51Use that
01:02:51This song does come
01:02:52From kind of a sad place
01:02:53But I want to just
01:02:55Stand strong
01:02:55And still like
01:02:56Give a fun
01:02:57Performance to watch
01:03:06I got five for a heart
01:03:08I'm not scared of the dark
01:03:10You never seen it look so easy
01:03:13I got a river for a soul
01:03:15And baby you're a boat
01:03:17Baby you're my only reason
01:03:20If I didn't have you
01:03:21There would be nothing left
01:03:23The shell of a man
01:03:25Could never be his best
01:03:26If I didn't have you
01:03:28I'd never see the sun
01:03:30You taught me
01:03:31How to be someone
01:03:33Hey
01:03:34All my life
01:03:36You stood by me

01:08:23plains out of mr montana where you told me you were it means a lot to me so why is
01:08:29that tourniquet to me

01:08:41heals

01:09:15it's
01:09:16most perfect music can feel like a hug music can feel like a hand on your back that tells you

01:20:06The fishes are going, what's happening up there on that stage?
01:20:10Oh, my God.
01:20:11What did just happen?
01:20:13Lionel, what was that?
01:20:15I have never, I have never, ever,
01:20:20I've been on American Idol since I was that big.
01:20:27I have never had any contestant walk out on this stage
01:20:33and tear the place up.
01:20:35The place got blown up.
01:20:38Thank you, Lionel.
01:20:39That Janis Joplin sounding, Tina Turner sounding,
01:20:42I don't know who you are.
01:20:47But that right there was the greatest performance
01:20:50I have ever seen on this stage.
01:20:57That was ridiculous.
01:20:59Lionel had to bring me back to life, Tina.
01:21:01You know what I'm saying.
01:21:03He had to resuscitate me up in the place.
01:21:07Yes, ma'am.
01:21:07But the last time I've seen somebody make me feel like this
01:21:10and get people turned up like this,
01:21:12her name was Fantasia Burrito.
01:21:13Watch out.
01:21:14Watch out.
01:21:14Watch out.
01:21:15And she won American Idol.
01:21:17Whoa.
01:21:17And I'm going to just leave that there and tell America
01:21:20there's a lot of favorites and y'all need to vote.
01:21:22Watch out.
01:21:23Vote, y'all.
01:21:23Vote.
01:21:24Because, Keela, what you just did right there,
01:21:26girl, you a bad girl and I'm not touching her.
01:21:29Thank you, Kiki.
01:21:30Bless you.
01:21:31I ain't never seen this before.
01:21:33Lionel.
01:21:35The thing that I love about you is I feel like you don't think
01:21:41about what you're doing as it's happening.
01:21:43Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:21:44Boom, boom, boom.
01:21:45Like it just flows out of you.
01:21:47You were in the moment.
01:21:48You were having fun with the audience.
01:21:50Like it was like just pouring out.
01:21:52It was like from the heavens to Keela and then out to us.
01:21:56Thank you, Kari.
01:21:57Thank you so much, Kari.
01:22:01And Luke?
01:22:04I don't know.
01:22:07Do you remember when I kind of gave you a couple of little
01:22:10singing lessons in the audition?
01:22:12I do.
01:22:13I do.
01:22:14Why did you let me do that to you?
01:22:18You were just being kind to me.
01:22:20Yes, yes.
01:22:21Thank you for allowing me that time.
01:22:24But I hereby relinquish my vocal lessons for you.
01:22:27God.
01:22:28I don't need to even say nothing to you.
01:22:31Nothing.
01:22:31You got Lionel.
01:22:32He done wore treats in the run.
01:22:34I've never seen nothing like that before.
01:22:36Ever.
01:22:36When you get us this excited, what is so special is you
01:22:41ain't thinking about it.
01:22:42It don't matter if you're in Hawaii.
01:22:44It don't matter if you're in Pensacola.
01:22:47It don't matter.
01:22:48You're just here to let what God has given you come out.
01:22:52Thank you so much, Luke.
01:22:54Thank you all so much.
01:22:57What does that praise feel like?
01:22:59It feels really good.
01:23:00It's just that fire burning on the inside.
01:23:03It came out.
01:23:03What is running through your veins when you're singing like that?
01:23:05Uh, just, I don't know, man.
01:23:07It's just my mind just be everywhere.
01:23:09But I just, you know, I do what I can.
