00:12:06I'm going to be singing The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert.
00:12:09My parents are here tonight.
00:12:12And they're who really built me.
00:12:13This one goes out to my family.
00:12:20You know they say you can't go home again.
00:12:27Oh, I just had to come back one last time.
00:12:33Ma'am, I know.
00:12:35Ma'am, I know you don't know me from out.
00:12:39But these handprints on the front steps are mine.
00:12:45I thought if I could touch this place or feelin'.
00:12:51This brokenness inside might start healin'.
00:12:56You leave home and you move on and you do the best you can.
00:13:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:03I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am.
00:13:15I thought if I could touch this place or feelin'.
00:13:21This brokenness inside me might start healin'.
00:13:27I can't hear it till I come to someone else.
00:13:30I thought that maybe I could find myself.
00:13:38If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave.
00:13:43Won't sing nothin' but a memory.
00:13:47From the house that built me.
00:13:56From the house that built me.
00:14:01Oh, my God.

00:14:54Stand by.
00:14:57What's up, guys?
00:14:58My name is Keela Richardson.
00:15:00I'm singing A Thousand Years by Christina Perry.
00:15:03Dedicating it to my lovely son.
00:15:04I want to let him know no matter how grown he gets, I'm going to love him forever.
00:15:09And every day we're getting one step closer to where we want to be.
00:15:38Oh, sir, I am dying every day waiting for you.
00:15:49Darling, don't be afraid.
00:15:51I am loving you for a thousand years.

00:16:08Oh, sir, I am dying every day waiting for you.
00:16:19Darling, don't be afraid because I love you for a thousand years.
00:16:26I love you for a thousand more.
00:16:32And all alone, I believe that I would find you alone.
00:16:38I love you for a thousand more.
00:17:04I love you for a thousand more.
00:17:08I love watching you and getting to watch him.
00:17:11Like when I'm on stage and my boys are out there, I don't know what they're doing.
00:17:14And I feel like I just got a glimpse of what they might be doing with me on stage.
00:17:18And it just made my mom's heart so happy.
00:17:21Your talent is limitless.
00:17:26Thank you guys.
00:17:27Wow.
00:17:29Wow.
00:17:31Every time I see him lay eyes on him while I'm singing on that stage, man, it gives me an
00:17:35extra boost.
00:17:36If God willing, I hope I make it to the top 20.
00:17:39This is too hard.
00:17:43It's difficult.
00:17:44People really stepped it up to, you know, superstar level.
00:17:47Everyone is amazing.
00:17:49Sometimes before you can watch someone fly, you have to let them hit rock bottom.
00:17:54You have to let them hit rock bottom.
00:18:01Three, two, three, four, three, four, three, four, four, five—
00:18:02Hello, everybody.
00:18:02My name is Braden Rumfeldt.
00:18:04I'm 22 years old and I'm from Murphy, North Carolina.
00:18:09I was standing by my window on a cold and cloudy day.
00:18:17When I was a baby, my dad would sit musical instruments at the bottom of our cribs.
00:18:24And he felt like, you know, that was going to give us, like, these abilities.
00:18:27Right. Which it might have. Who knows?
00:18:29Will the circle be unbroken?
00:18:34Growing up in a family where it's cool to sing, you know, that's got me to this point.
00:18:39If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here, much less going to Hawaii.
00:18:45For you to get here is, um, it's powerful.
00:18:49You let your light shine before the world.
00:18:53In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
00:19:06Some people live for the fortune.
00:19:12Some people live just for the fame.
00:19:16Okay. All right.
00:19:18Some people think that the physical things define what's within.
00:19:28And I've been there before.
00:19:33And that life's so full, so full of the superficial.
00:19:39I'm sure.
00:19:40And some people want it all.
00:19:44But I don't want nothing at all.
00:19:47If it ain't you, baby.
00:19:50If I ain't got you, baby.
00:19:53Some people want time to reach.
00:19:56Some just want everything.
00:20:00But everything means nothing.
00:20:14If it ain't you, baby.
00:20:16If I ain't got you, baby.
00:20:19If I ain't got you, baby.
00:20:19If I ain't got you, baby.
00:20:19Some people want it all.
00:20:22But I don't want nothing at all.
00:20:24If it ain't you, baby.
00:20:28If it ain't you, baby.
00:20:29If I ain't got you, baby.
00:20:31If it ain't you, baby.
00:20:32And some people want time to reach.
00:20:34Some just want everything.
00:20:37But everything means nothing.
00:20:40If I ain't got you
00:21:00Kids singing
00:21:01I feel like I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time
00:21:07Your voice is just velvety and big you've got a lot of power in there and in all the right
00:21:14places
00:21:15Thank you. It's good to see y'all again
00:21:16You know what I like seeing this family and the connection is exact that's exactly what I wanted to see
00:21:26I thought he had really great control and power to his voice but he hit a couple of rough notes
00:21:34Here we go
00:21:36Performing in front of the editor of rolling stone
00:21:39Jeez louise
00:21:40There's so many other eyes on us who get a say in our future
00:21:44It's a little frightening
00:21:49I'm hannah harper from southeast missouri and i'm going to sing a country classic that my grandpa used to sing
00:21:54to honor his musical legacy
00:21:56I'm really excited about the ohana round to have the chance to honor my grandpa
00:22:00He was a patriarch so many branches of talented people that came from him
00:22:05He played music until the day he died
00:22:07Good music that we can all relate to as a family and we all play together at it and everybody
00:22:13likes it
00:22:13Bluegrass and gospel
00:22:15That will keep us together
00:22:17The legacy that he left was such a strong impression on my life
00:22:21I want to do the same for my kids
00:22:23I wish my grandpa was here to hear it my grandma's going to be here and she's going to be
00:22:27so thrilled
00:22:27Because it was his favorite song
00:22:31I know your life
00:22:36On earth was troubled
00:22:40And only you could know the pain
00:22:46You weren't afraid
00:22:50To face the devil
00:22:55You were no stranger
00:23:00To the rain
00:23:03Go rest high
00:23:08On that mountain
00:23:11Son

00:24:10And the Son
00:24:27gosh there are so many parallels with your voice and dolly and just it's just so beautifully
00:24:35country but just remember that key that you got to at the end and really live in that space because
00:24:40your voice really opened up there you've got the goods and that was uh your voice is so beautiful
00:24:45to me appreciate it thank you got that straight authentic mountain voice boy you can definitely
00:24:54see that she was missing something because she usually plays the guitar but i don't know i think
00:24:59she really delivered it and she felt like she was herself i mean obviously everybody can sing
00:25:04because they're here but there's gonna only be a handful that can make it to that star quality
00:25:09you know say that again what did you what did you just no what did you say it was important
00:25:14i said would you go for the best singer or would you go for someone who you know would sell
00:25:19tickets
00:25:20has a look and has a voice these are the questions we have to ask ourselves
00:25:31hi guys um my name is genevieve hayward today i will be singing your song by elton john um i
00:25:38picked
00:25:39this song today because the last time that my father was in hawaii he was on leave from vietnam
00:25:44oh give it up for my dad thank you for your service dad if i could give you the world
00:25:51i would
00:25:52but for right now i'm just gonna start with a song
00:25:58it's a little bit funny this feeling inside i'm not one of those who can easily hide i don't have
00:26:15much money but boy if i did i'd buy a big house where we both could live
00:26:28if i was a sculptor then again no or a man who makes potions in a traveling shot

00:27:20that i put down it
00:27:27sing it
00:27:28wow wow wow
00:27:45what a boy identity is hard when you sing such an iconic song like elton's but for

00:38:33i'm jake thistle from new jersey and i'm playing a song called sleep on me which is an original
00:38:37it was really important for me to play an original during this round because my parents and
00:38:41family have always been really supportive of me writing songs when i was really young a family
00:38:47friend played guitar and he gave me one because i was a toddler and it made noise
00:38:52i started gigging when i was nine years old and my parents drove me to every gig until i could
00:38:56get
00:38:56my license it meant a lot to have that foundation they're not here physically with me in hawaii but
00:39:01my parents do know that i'm dedicating this song to them it's going to be really special
00:39:05these hours aren't meant for conversation time
00:39:10well i'm confident yeah it's too soon for tomorrow too late for tonight
00:39:16that's why i'm shaking and pacing like i forgot my life
00:39:23i wrote the show and i wrote the show and i've lived the life
00:39:29the sky looks so vacant on these kind of nights
00:39:37it's wrong when you're placing your cautious head and mine
00:39:49forever maintaining the illusion that we are gonna be all right
00:40:00to sleep on me sleep on me sleep on i'ma make it up to your kind of guy
00:40:12i'm trying to be trying to be someone who you like
00:40:18oh sleep on me sleep on i'm a stranger back to side

00:44:34as our ohana round continues lionel checks in on the families
00:44:38i love watching this boy

00:45:18yeah we're uh we're gonna vote based on our notes we're very serious i'll tell you it's very difficult
00:45:25and the second platinum ticket decision belongs to the industry experts the truth is everybody
00:45:31deserves a shot the talent is so high that everyone literally deserves this but who are we going to give
00:45:36it ain't about what's waiting on the other side
00:46:00the third platinum ticket will be chosen by the idols themselves
00:46:04i just see exceptional talent and i just don't know how
00:46:08i'm gonna narrow that down at all i don't i don't know
00:46:21i just want you to know
00:46:50it feels insane to be in the top 30. there's a lot of pressure knowing that 10 people are going
00:46:55to go home one two yeah sounds good my dad for this round suggested photograph by ed sheeran
00:47:01ed sheeran has always been one of my favorite singers he had a stutter when he was younger and
00:47:05he's been super open about it it's crazy it's like the perfect song i relate to it in so many
00:47:09ways
00:47:10i'm dedicating this song to my grandpa um he passed away six years ago but he was a photographer
00:47:18and he spent so much of his life capturing the most important moments of other people's lives
00:47:23i just felt like i could really be myself around him and we could laugh with each other
00:47:33even though he can't be here taking pictures of me uh i know he's watching right now
00:47:39looking back at photos of him reminds me of the love that my whole family shared with him
00:47:43i'm going to be thinking about him and just reminding the world of how how great he was
00:47:55loving can hurt
00:48:00loving can hurt
00:48:03loving can hurt sometimes it is the only thing that i know
00:48:13it is the only thing that makes us feel alive
00:48:23we keep this love in our photograph we make these memories for ourselves
00:48:32when our eyes are never closing hearts are never broken time's forever frozen still
00:48:41so you can keep me inside the pocket of your rib cheese
00:48:49holding me closer
00:48:51just until our eyes meet you won't ever be alone

00:50:15he went viral already and i can i can see why you know
00:50:19you can tell when somebody's humble the way he's standing up here i think that matters a lot
00:50:23it now comes down to who cuts through
00:50:34hello hello everyone my name is sheldon riley and i'm from australia
00:50:38i just want to quickly say how beautiful it is to me to see all
00:50:41you family here for this god-given talent over this side i know what the sacrifice is to uh be
00:50:47here
00:50:48unfortunately i don't have family here with me today
00:50:50um i actually haven't had family with me in a long time on this music journey of mine
00:50:57um sorry sorry um sometimes in life when you are not handed the right cards
00:51:08and put in the right family with the right people um you have to build your own family and your
00:51:16own
00:51:16home and that's what ohana is to me so uh i'm really grateful to be here and thank you for
00:51:21having me
00:51:22and uh thank you for being my little family here with me so yeah
00:51:30i'm singing to build a home by patrick watson it's about building that home for yourself
00:51:35that place where you don't feel alone i think a big reason why i've come to american idol is that
00:51:41i've found that for myself and i've built my own ohana so it feels like the perfect song to celebrate
00:51:45everyone that's made that happen there is a house built out of stone oh this is a place where i
00:51:59i i don't feel alone oh oh this is a place where i i feel at home
00:52:23oh
00:52:32oh

00:53:56So sorry.
00:53:58You good?
00:53:59Yeah, I'm good.
00:54:00I'm good.
00:54:01You have so much talent and range and power in your vocals.
00:54:09I feel like your brain just gets in the way.
00:54:12I feel like you're kind of building up some walls in front of us every time you sing.
00:54:19But you don't need to do that because you're enough.
00:54:24Get here.
00:54:26That was some words of wisdom right there.
00:54:29It's just going to be a mind game I have to kind of work through.
00:54:33I don't know.
00:54:34The industry's been really nasty to me.
00:54:36I've had to put walls up for a long time.
00:54:40I think that what is going to come out of this experience for him, he'll actually find himself.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:54:48Carrie, that was good.
00:54:48You better preach.
00:54:50That was so good.
00:54:51That was deep.
00:55:03My name is Julián Calel.
00:55:04I'm 19 years old from El Paso, Texas.
00:55:07And I wrote this song called Surrender.
00:55:09I auditioned with this song for my very, very first audition.
00:55:12My family was there.
00:55:14Feels like it was only yesterday that I was in that room with those judges.
00:55:17When I wrote the song Surrender, I was really, really down.
00:55:22So I went to my dad and he told me that anxiety, the fear, whatever's out of your control,
00:55:28let it stay out of your control.
00:55:29It's not worth your fear.
00:55:31He was the one that said, surrender.
00:55:34Surrender those feelings.
00:55:36Not only were we able to help him reach lighter place, it actually turned into a song.
00:55:43I don't know why.
00:55:48To see him arrive on this stage, this is everything that we've prayed for.
00:55:56I just want to dedicate this song to you, Papa.
00:55:59Thank you for always being by my side through my absolute worst and my best.
00:56:03And I love you.
00:56:05Love you, Michael.
00:56:06Bye!
00:56:07We kissed the cross!
00:56:08We kissed the cross.
00:56:10You were always doing that.
00:56:11You might always do that.
00:56:14We kissed the cross.
00:56:19You might always do that.
00:56:19You might always do that.
00:56:53Oh, wow.
00:57:08So I'll let it go, my soul, and all that's late, but I hope I pass your test.
00:57:16I'll be gone without a sound when my heart fails me and I'm not around.
00:57:22I'm floating on the past I used to crawl.
00:57:27Something stops me, guess I've found the stories and it's all clear now.
00:57:33The only feeling bigger than love is lost.
00:57:36Oh, I surrender.
00:57:40If it's all that I've waged, I'll wait to fly.
00:57:45The pain is in his hands.
00:57:47You know I'm tired as ever.
00:57:50Oh, I surrender.
00:58:00Oh, I surrender.
00:58:02Oh, I surrender.
00:58:09Oh, that's an artist.
00:58:11That is an artist.
00:58:13That is an artist.
00:58:15Robbie, team all.
00:58:16You're so solid.
00:58:17I mean I've heard you do that song before and the fact that you've written that song, just even some
00:58:24of the changes in the chord progression are so mature and far beyond your age.
00:58:30And you just got the star magic, one of my favorite performances of the night.
00:58:36Thank you so much, thank you.
00:58:38To get the opportunity to even play that song on a stage like this, I'm just glad that I never
00:58:43gave up.
00:58:43It's come full circle for him to share it with his sister, just made it all the more special.
00:58:49It just makes me so, so thankful to be loved by my parents and my family, and I'm just so
00:58:55grateful.
00:59:02Just beeping.
00:59:03Hold on one second.
00:59:04Takes me back to the construction days.
00:59:08Back it up.
00:59:09My name's Cutter Bradley.
00:59:11I'm from Florence, Alabama.
00:59:12Florence, Alabama.
00:59:13I know where you're from.
00:59:14I used to be a welder and a machinist, so I went to college for that.
00:59:18I've worked many jobs, from carpentry, welding, to construction, but music, ever since I did music, something was just poking
00:59:27at me like, I got to see how far I could take it.
00:59:29I'll be singing some Jason Aldean, Amarillo Sky, and the reason I picked that song is because it's a song
00:59:34about hard work, dedicating it to my parents right here,
00:59:37because they showed me what hard work is, and it's rubbed off on me, because I'm hard working for my
00:59:43dreams right now, so.
00:59:44That's right.
00:59:48This is a lot of tempo I was hoping for.
00:59:51I love it.
00:59:52It gets up before the dawn, packs and lunch and thermos full of coffee.
01:00:00It's another day in the dusty haze, the burning rays are wearing down his rise.
01:00:09Peace is worth the price of gold, it's the cheapest thing he's ever sold.
01:00:15Come on now.
01:00:17He's still holding on.
01:00:21Just takes a tractor another round, pulls a plow across the ground.
01:00:27He sends up another prayer.
01:00:31He says, Lord, I never complain, I never ask why.
01:00:36Please don't let my dreams run dry.
01:00:48Come on now.
01:00:50He says, Lord, I never complain, I never ask why.
01:01:06Please don't let my dreams run dry.
01:01:25Great song choice for you, and I tell you, rocking overalls in Hawaii, I tell you what,
01:01:31that's pretty amazing. You really impressed me with where you went vocally. I enjoyed it.
01:01:37Great job. Thank you so much, thank you. Taking the card, playing it, swinging it around,
01:01:43and then going out to the audience, I was like, hey I see you, I see you. A lot of
01:01:48crushing down there?
01:01:51Yes. Carrie's crushing too. I said no, I see where you're coming from, and you are correct ma'am.
01:02:00With the added pressure of not only the judges, but also the industry experts deciding their fate,
01:02:06the weight of the moment is getting to some. The industry experts are going to be voting for us,
01:02:11which is scary. She was missing was a little bit of confidence. You can tell she's one of the younger
01:02:16performers. She doesn't have the experience. There'll absolutely be more pressure. I thought
01:02:21she was a superstar. I agree. It's super scary to know that they're going to be watching and
01:02:29judging. It looked like she was a little bored. What are you talking about? That was storytelling.
01:02:37I wish she would have looked over here, but I thought she brought the power to the song.
01:02:43That was beautiful. Okay. The way she said it sounds better than music.
01:02:49Definitely got to bring my A game. I got to, you know, I got to do something.
01:02:54You got a chance. Take it. Take it. Take it. Why you got a chance. You got a dream.
01:03:09Chase it. Cause a dream won't chase you back. You're gonna love somebody. Hold on as long and strong.
01:03:18As close as you can until you can. He's just a baby. It just felt like it was something was
01:03:27a little
01:03:27off. Maybe it wasn't his best performance. I was seeing like a country bieber with the,
01:03:34you know, the little hair flip. Yes. Yes. That's exactly right.
01:03:41Shirley, the co-editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone is going to be here. I am like freaking out.
01:03:50Hi everyone. My name is Kindle. And today I'm actually singing a song that I wrote. It's called
01:03:56Woman of Me. I wrote it for my mom. I can't look at her too long or I will immediately
01:04:00cry. My mom is
01:04:02my favorite person in the whole entire world. She has been a backbone and just a rock in my life.
01:04:11But growing up, we had a tendency to clash. I was a pretty rebellious kid. Like I started hanging
01:04:17around with the wrong people. Dropped out of school. Moved all the way to the other side of the country
01:04:22in LA. I needed to go and explore the world and learn and fall flat on my face. And
01:04:29I'm sure that like, I'm sure that really broke her heart, you know?
01:04:37Whoa. I think that sometimes before you can watch someone fly, you have to let them hit rock bottom.
01:04:45And it was the hardest thing that I've ever done. She was 18 years old and she needed to go.
01:04:52She
01:04:52needed to figure it out. Having a mother that loved me enough to let me go, but be standing there
01:05:01with
01:05:01open arms when I ran back is a gratitude I can't fully even express. And so I tried with this
01:05:11song.
01:05:11And I just, I really want to honor her with this. I really want her to understand just how special
01:05:17she
01:05:18is to me.
01:05:26I'm the daughter of a God-fearing woman. Countless nights she probably laid there awake. To her surprise,
01:05:37I did everything I should've on a wall. Both hearts would break.
01:05:46From time to time, there's a look in her eyes. She didn't think she did it right.
01:05:55Oh, God.
01:05:56She was the light when there was no light I could see. Gave me a reason to fight.
01:06:06She wiped my eyes when the world turned its back on me. Taught me all my wrong from rights.
01:06:17I couldn't fit all of my thanks in a bottle. It'd break before drifting to a sea.
01:06:27She was a girl. She was a girl. She was a woman. Now she's made a woman of me.
01:06:36Oh, God.
01:06:38Oh!
01:06:38Very good!
01:06:39She wiped my eyes when the world turned its back on me. Taught me all my wrong from rights.
01:06:49I couldn't fit all of my thanks in a bottle. It'd break before drifting to a sea.
01:06:58She was a girl before, she was a woman
01:07:04Now she's made a woman
01:07:07She's made a woman
01:07:10She's made a woman
01:07:13Of me
01:07:18Thank you
01:07:20That songwriting is incredible
01:07:24Oh, Kendall, I just want to hear more of your songs
01:07:29You're such a great storyteller
01:07:31And you have the voice to back it all up
01:07:35So if this was truly a moment meant for you right now
01:07:40Thank you so much
01:07:41Thank you
01:07:47Perfect, no complaints
01:07:48That's my American Idol
01:07:50I'm so proud of her
01:07:53I couldn't even look at my mom
01:07:54Like I knew I would cry
01:07:56But she was right there on my heart
01:07:58And I just like felt her
01:07:59And that was such a special moment
01:08:01I wish I could do it again and again and again
01:08:16I'll be singing All I Want by Codaline
01:08:18Dedicated to my great-grandmother
01:08:21Her name was Mama Rice to me
01:08:22But to everybody else, she was Nancy
01:08:24The song that he picked
01:08:25It means a lot to the family
01:08:28She was a huge supporter of me
01:08:30And this is one of the songs
01:08:32This is one of the songs
01:08:33She loved for me to sing to her
01:08:35I sung it in hospice
01:08:37Unfortunately, before she passed away
01:08:39So hopefully y'all like it
01:08:41All right, all right
01:08:44Wow, yeah
01:08:49All I want was nothing more
01:08:56To hear you knocking at my door
01:09:03Cause if I could see your face once more
01:09:09I could die a happy man, I'm sure
01:09:14And if you love me
01:09:19Would you leave me?
01:09:24Take my body
01:09:27Take my body
01:09:31And all I want is

01:10:52Teddy Swims, Chris Stapleton
01:10:54You just took us on a journey
01:10:56You brought us in when it was meant to be
01:10:59To feel intense
01:11:01And then on the soaring notes
01:11:03You kind of took us to this whole other place
01:11:05Where we could just kind of feel that swell
01:11:08That's a gift
01:11:09Great job
01:11:10Thank you
01:11:10Great job
01:11:11Thank you so much
01:11:12I realized this voice could go that high for that long
01:11:15Oh my gosh
01:11:17To be able to take a song that is usually
01:11:20Taken in a completely different direction
01:11:21And bring it here was magic
01:11:24So proud of it
01:11:26I can't talk right
01:11:28I can't even breathe
01:11:29That was amazing
01:11:32To make it to the top 30
01:11:34It feels like incredible
01:11:36Woo
01:11:36Woo
01:11:37You are meant to be here
01:11:40Thank you
01:11:40I'm just enjoying it and soaking it in every which way
01:11:43You looking for me?
01:11:44For the old hunt around
01:11:45I picked Stand Up by Cynthia Erivo
01:11:47I will dedicate this song today to my lovely mother
01:11:51That's in the audience over here to the side
01:11:53Right answer
01:11:54My mom
01:11:55She has always stood up for me
01:11:57She has always paved the way for me
01:11:59Been there every step of the way
01:12:01I had Makaya when I was at college
01:12:05Single mom
01:12:06And so there were times where I didn't know how I was going to do some things
01:12:12We would come home from school and then we would go to my grandparents' house and eat dinner
01:12:16I didn't know then as a child that was solely because we didn't have food
01:12:21Everybody hits rough spots but I hit a rough one
01:12:24It was a really dark time
01:12:27For her to allow me to solely be a child and have no worries
01:12:33She never let us see her suffer
01:12:39When my mom hears me perform this song
01:12:42I hope she feels that I will always be here for her
01:12:46Through every step of the way the same way she was there for me
01:12:49And that one day this all will pay off
01:12:52I've been walking
01:12:56With my face turned to the sun
01:13:02It can be
01:13:04Oh I got eyes in the back of my head
01:13:09Just in case I have to run
01:13:12It's about to get dirty
01:13:15It's about to get dirty
01:13:17Watch the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night
01:13:22That's when I wanna stand up
01:13:26Take my people with me
01:13:29Together we are going
01:13:32To a brand new home
01:13:39And I know
01:13:42What's around the bend
01:13:46Might be hard
01:13:48To face cause I'm alone
01:13:52And I can't take my girl
01:13:55But Lord knows I tried
01:13:59But Lord knows I tried
