00:00:11American Idol is the gold standard in finding talent.
00:00:16How's it going, man?
00:00:17Last season, we got to hear Jamal sing,
00:00:19and then a few months later, he's nominated for a Grammy.
00:00:22And let me bask in your light.
00:00:26You know I'll be there for the first to get to it.
00:00:28That's what we sit in the chair for,
00:00:30to hopefully find those next superstars.
00:00:35Jamal Roberts!
00:00:36It just takes one year.
00:00:38Life will change forever.
00:00:42Welcome to the show.
00:00:43Take it all in.
00:00:44Oh, my goodness.
00:00:45Wow.
00:00:46I love American Idol.
00:00:47I've watched it since I was a kid.
00:00:48Even this last season, I actually got to meet Jamal Roberts,
00:00:51and he was amazing.
00:00:56Phenomenal singer.
00:00:57I got to see him in concert, and incredible vocalist,
00:00:59great stage presence.
00:01:01I love him so much.
00:01:02You look like you're pretty excited.
00:01:03I am.
00:01:04I'm very excited.
00:01:05My name is Jordan McCullough.
00:01:07I'm 27, and I'm from Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
00:01:09Where'd you grow up performing at?
00:01:11In church.
00:01:12That's where I got my start.
00:01:13I didn't know that any of this was a possibility
00:01:16outside of the choir stand.
00:01:17So just four years old, I was singing in the choir.
00:01:20And yeah, that's where it started.
00:01:22Very cool.
00:01:22All right.
00:01:23Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:01:24Well, we're going to bring the choir stand here,
00:01:25and I'm going to sing Goodness of God.
00:01:27Yay!
00:01:28So good.
00:01:29All right.
00:01:36I love you, Lord.
00:01:42Oh, your mercy never failed me in all my days.
00:01:49I've been held in your head.
00:01:52From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head, oh, I will sing of the goodness of
00:02:07God.
00:02:11All my life, you have been faithful, oh, yes, you have.
00:02:19All my life, you have been so, so good with every breath that I have made, oh, oh, I will
00:02:34sing of the goodness of God.
00:02:38Yes, thank you, Lord.
00:02:43Your goodness running after, running after me.
00:02:49Your goodness is running after, running after me.
00:03:11Woo!
00:03:18Man.
00:03:19Thank you, thank you so much.
00:03:20That'll wake you up.
00:03:22Come on.
00:03:24Come on.
00:03:25What you think, Carrie?
00:03:27You were flying up out of that chair, levitating.
00:03:29I was.
00:03:30How can you not?
00:03:32You have been given an incredible gift.
00:03:35Wow.
00:03:36And I love that you use it.
00:03:38I mean, the first two words out of your mouth, it was like, ooh, oh yeah, okay.
00:03:43I just had chills pretty much the whole time.
00:03:45Wow.
00:03:46It was really great.
00:03:48Your voice is big enough to fill up any room, very classic sounding voice.
00:03:54Wow.
00:03:54The university has been waiting on you.
00:03:56Oh my God.
00:03:57I'm telling you, it is one of those moments when we discover your talent.
00:04:03It's mesmerizing to watch you perform because it's not just standing there singing.
00:04:08You actually have stage presence, which is something we can't teach.
00:04:13Wow.
00:04:13It just felt like worship.
00:04:14It just.
00:04:15It didn't feel forced.
00:04:17It just felt like you were in the moment and we were in the moment with you.
00:04:20It's a big giant yes from me.
00:04:23No doubt about it.
00:04:24It is.
00:04:24I'm looking forward to all the goosies throughout the rest of it.
00:04:29You're right.
00:04:29So it's a big yes from me.
00:04:31Let's go.

00:04:50This is crazy.
00:04:58So great to start off.
00:05:00Big old voice there.
00:05:02Welcome to the class man.
00:05:03It feels really really wild to be standing here just like Jamal Roberts did and I feel
00:05:08like you've kind of passed the torch here and I'm ready to carry it even further.
00:05:12I'm going to Hollywood week.
00:05:14Woo!
00:05:17Good way to start the day.
00:05:19That was great.
00:05:40I feel like the best class we could shape is going to be very eclectic.
00:05:48It's more spicy.
00:05:50And I being a lover of rock music, I just want to find that representative.
00:06:01Woo!
00:06:01Woo!
00:06:03My name is Noah.
00:06:04These are my friends.
00:06:06They know all about us.
00:06:07And this is the Rock and Roll Wall of Sound.
00:06:10Woo!

00:06:16My organs are vibrating.
00:06:18What?
00:06:18What is happening?
00:06:20Judges in front of you is the greatest rock and roll audition you have seen in American
00:06:24Idol history.
00:06:24I know you like rock and roll, Miss Carrie.
00:06:26Yeah!
00:06:26She loves rock and roll.
00:06:28All right.

00:06:35This is the Rock and Roll.
00:06:40You know I'm born to lose and Emily's for fools.
00:06:44But that's the way I like it, baby.
00:06:46I don't want to live forever.
00:06:50Here we go.
00:06:53The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be, the ace of spades, ace of spades, yeah!
00:07:05I love the idea, too, of having some of those more entertaining people in the mix.
00:07:10You kind of have to give some people a shot.
00:07:11I'm Isaiah Morrow.
00:07:13What kind of music do you play?
00:07:14I'd say rock.
00:07:15Yes!
00:07:16Don't fall away and lead me to myself.
00:07:22Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again.

00:07:47I am so happy!
00:07:48I think you're great.
00:07:51Oh!
00:07:51I think even if we can get you channeling more like, I am a rocker.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:57She'll be even more ecstatic.
00:07:59Yeah.
00:07:59My name is Brett Carlisle, and I sing for the band Great White.
00:08:05We expect to rock, and we would like to rock, sir.
00:08:08You didn't even listen.
00:08:12Oh, you should have set me free.
00:08:15Now I'm leaving with the devil.
00:08:18Gonna leave this search for love.
00:08:22I'm leaving with the devil.
00:08:26Leave this out.
00:08:29I'm so broken, love.
00:08:32If you happen to go through it, bring it.
00:08:35Especially when you rock.
00:08:36I mean, you're going to be the poster child for this.
00:08:38That's the way I like it, baby.
00:08:40I know you want to live forever.
00:08:44Yes.
00:08:45No way!
00:08:47No way!
00:08:48Yeah!
00:08:53I'm ready to bring some rock and roll to American Idol.
00:08:56Yeah!
00:08:58Rock and roll, baby.
00:09:00What is it, Lana?
00:09:00You're either going to rock, or you're going to roll.
00:09:03Fire up to my left, y'all!
00:09:05Woo!
00:09:07Oh, my goodness.
00:09:08Oh, my goodness.
00:09:11Oh, my goodness.
00:09:12Oh, my goodness.
00:09:15That was, like, the most, oh, my gods.
00:09:17We could hear you around the going on.
00:09:19I can't help it.
00:09:20I can't help it.
00:09:21Hi!
00:09:22It was so good.
00:09:23How are you?
00:09:23I'm so amazing.
00:09:24I'm Madison Moon.
00:09:26I'm from Orlando, Florida.
00:09:28I'm 21.
00:09:28I'm so excited to be here.
00:09:30Clearly.
00:09:31What do you do in Orlando?
00:09:32I'm a full-time musician.
00:09:35It's my only job I've ever had.
00:09:37I wouldn't have it any other way.
00:09:39What kind of music do you play?
00:09:40I do a lot of everything, but I really want to go for pop rock.
00:09:45I've been in a lot of bands, and I did harsh vocals and stuff like that.
00:09:48So I will be singing today, not doing that.
00:09:51What are you going to sing for us?
00:09:52I'm going to be doing Creep.
00:09:54Cool.
00:09:55Good.
00:09:55All right.
00:09:56Ready?
00:09:59When you were here before
00:10:04Couldn't look you in the eye
00:10:09You're just like an angel
00:10:13Your skin makes me cry
00:10:18But I'm a creep
00:10:27I'm a weirdo
00:10:33What the hell am I doing here?
00:10:40I don't belong here
00:10:42Oh, oh, she's running out the door
00:11:00Oh, she's running out, she runs, runs, runs, runs, oh, she runs.
00:11:31She runs, runs, but I'm a creep.
00:11:45I want more.
00:11:47Do you have a second song?
00:11:49You said you did like harsh vocals.
00:11:51I'm just curious.
00:11:52What does harsh vocals mean?
00:11:55Like screaming.
00:11:55Screaming, yeah, that's right.
00:11:57Like metal vocals.
00:11:59Let's do it.
00:12:00Okay.
00:12:01What is it?
00:12:01The Kill, 30 Seconds to Mars.
00:12:03Okay.
00:12:05Okay, cool.
00:12:06Ready?
00:12:06Yeah, got it.
00:12:11I tried to be someone else, but nothing seemed to change.
00:12:20I know now, this is who I really am inside.
00:12:28Finally found myself, fighting for a chance.
00:12:36I know now, this is who I really am.
00:12:44Woo!
00:12:46Woo!
00:12:47Woo!
00:12:47Woo!
00:12:48Woo!
00:12:49Wow.
00:12:55Love it.
00:12:57Luke.
00:12:58Luke.
00:12:59Don't do any more harsh vocals.
00:13:02Yes.
00:13:03She can do that without hurting herself?
00:13:04Yes.
00:13:05I'll bring a little edge.
00:13:06Absolutely.
00:13:07You know, the bottom line is, you're one of the best voices we've heard so far.
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Yes.
00:13:13You just kept getting higher and then higher.
00:13:16I'm thinking, where does this voice end?
00:13:19Just...
00:13:21Oh my goodness.
00:13:22Push the box.
00:13:23Let's vote.
00:13:24I'll go first.
00:13:25I wanna just...
00:13:25Yes.
00:13:27Yes.
00:13:28You're one of my absolute favorites.
00:13:32Top 30.
00:13:33I'm calling it.
00:13:34Let's do this.
00:13:35Yes, yes, yes.
00:13:36Yes.
00:13:37I'm in.
00:13:37Thank you so much.
00:13:38Oh my goodness.
00:13:39You need this.
00:13:40You gotta have the ticket.
00:13:42Oh, thank you so much, guys.
00:13:44Oh, I gotta go.
00:13:44Run to my mama.
00:13:45Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
00:13:46Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
00:13:47Oh my God, oh my God.
00:13:48Thank you guys so much.
00:13:50Have fun.
00:13:52Yay!
00:13:56I'm going to Hollywood.
00:13:57Wee!
00:13:57Wee!
00:13:58I'm going to Hollywood.
00:13:58Carrie called me top 30 and I almost fell to the ground.
00:14:01I almost fell to the ground.
00:14:02It's insane.
00:14:04Oh, I'm glad she believes in me.
00:14:06I am so ready for this.
00:14:08Oh, you know I've been looking for my rockers.
00:14:10I'm like they're screaming.
00:14:12So there's a technique you can do that and it's not.
00:14:15Can you do it that way?
00:14:16Yes, but I've never done such things outside of my car.
00:14:29We're coming around the corner.
00:14:32LaGrange, Georgia.
00:14:33Where are all you folks around here, man?
00:14:35LaGrange.
00:14:36Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
00:14:43Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:46ZZ top?
00:14:47Really?
00:14:48Isn't that LaGrange?
00:14:50That's LaGrange.
00:14:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:14:53All right.
00:14:55Take a lift.
00:14:57How are you?
00:14:58Good, how are y'all?
00:14:59Good.
00:15:00Well, you came in so comfortable.
00:15:02Very chill, man.
00:15:03So tell us who you are.
00:15:04Where are you from?
00:15:05Your age?
00:15:06My name's Philman Lee.
00:15:07I'm from LaGrange, Georgia and I'm 25 years old.
00:15:10Philman, that's right down the street from Tuskegee.
00:15:12Shout out.
00:15:12There you go.
00:15:13What do you do for a living?
00:15:14So right now I'm in insurance sales.
00:15:16I do life insurance.
00:15:17It's all virtual.
00:15:19Talk with people all day long.
00:15:23Hello?
00:15:23Corlin, this is Philman.
00:15:25How are you doing?
00:15:26I'm an insurance broker.
00:15:27I see where you inquired about some life insurance coverage pretty recently.
00:15:31There's a destination.
00:15:34I've got a ways to go.
00:15:36I do insurance now, but that's not the end goal.
00:15:40I want to sing every single night if I can.
00:15:42There's a revelation that I might never know.
00:15:47I've been a musician my whole life.
00:15:49All credit, really, to my dad.
00:15:50He toured around with a gospel quartet group,
00:15:54and I was on a tour bus with him ever since I was like four years old.
00:15:57It definitely gave me a hunger.
00:15:59You know, even being a kid, that's what I want to do for the rest of my life.
00:16:02I've been trying all this time.
00:16:04I got into music after I dropped out of college,
00:16:06and I eventually ended up signing with a major label.
00:16:09Still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:12I was able to record a lot, and it looked like it was going to be pretty promising.
00:16:16And then when COVID hit, it just kind of plateaued, and I got shelved.
00:16:21You know, I obviously wasn't making any money.
00:16:22That's when I picked up insurance.
00:16:24Don't worry, I'll be fine.
00:16:26But I still can't climb the mountains of my mind.
00:16:30My family, you know, they were there every step of the way.
00:16:32The nights that I would cry because I'm not singing, I'm not doing music,
00:16:36and I thought I would never have another chance at it,
00:16:39they were definitely there for every single one of those moments.
00:16:41I got faith in you, brother.
00:16:43You got it in you, baby.
00:16:44We've been in your corner all your life.
00:16:47We love you so much, little buddy.
00:16:49American Idol's another chance at doing what I love
00:16:52and getting my foot back in the door.
00:16:53I have a voice, and I want it to be heard.
00:17:07Come on now.
00:17:11Come on now.
00:17:26coldWoo
00:17:52Kay
00:17:54If he puts her down
00:18:00When a man loves one bed
00:18:10I'll give you everything I got
00:18:16Hey, yeah
00:18:20Trying to hold on
00:18:23To your precious love
00:18:27And baby, baby
00:18:31Please don't treat me bad
00:18:37When a man loves a woman
00:18:42Wanna hear you down in his soul
00:18:49She can bring you such mystery
00:19:01Wow.
00:19:03You know, there's a difference between bent down and broke down.
00:19:06You were in both conditions.
00:19:08I'm talking about it.
00:19:09I mean, you were down.
00:19:11You were down.
00:19:11I said, how low is he gonna go?
00:19:13Oh, man.
00:19:14No, you wouldn't know.
00:19:15That was great interpretation, man.
00:19:17Carrie, what do you think about this?
00:19:18Wonderful gentleman.
00:19:20Surprising.
00:19:22Like you just walk in
00:19:23And you're just so chill and calm
00:19:25And then you open your mouth to sing
00:19:28Hands in your pockets.
00:19:29Sorry.
00:19:31No, you're good.
00:19:32I was like, is he gonna
00:19:32I'm gonna have to go take his hands out of his pockets.
00:19:35I was pleasantly surprised.
00:19:38You can't learn what you just did.
00:19:40Regardless of whatever else you think you were trying to do
00:19:43Do more of that.
00:19:45Carrie reminded me of my mom
00:19:47Take your hands out your pocket
00:19:49And look the folks straight in the face.
00:19:51That's all you need to do.
00:19:52In other words, now you have to become the character.
00:19:54Yes, sir.
00:19:55And if you're really, really lucky and blessed
00:19:57You won't have to worry about insurance
00:19:59Except on your voice.
00:20:01And that's gonna be covering you.
00:20:02Sounds good to me.
00:20:03Luke?
00:20:04Making another Georgia boy proud.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:07We've had ten people today
00:20:09That look like they've been trained to sing.
00:20:11And you look like you were born to sing.
00:20:13Nah.
00:20:16The fun part about this business
00:20:18Is we can't judge any book by any cover.
00:20:20We just have to let you sing.
00:20:23And then, man, when we get somebody like you
00:20:25It's pretty dang exciting.
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:26It'll make me cry, man.
00:20:28Yeah.
00:20:28It is now, I think it's your turn to shine.
00:20:31I think we should just take a vote.
00:20:33All right.
00:20:34Carrie, what do you think?
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36Boom.
00:20:36Luke, what do you think?
00:20:38Yes.
00:20:38Boom.
00:20:39We're not selling insurance, but we're definitely selling tickets.
00:20:42Welcome to Hollywood Week, babes.
00:20:44Good job.
00:20:46Get down, baby.
00:20:47We're going to start crying.
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49Georgia boy.
00:20:50Yes, sir.
00:20:55Here it comes.
00:21:01They're not you.
00:21:02Oh, my God.
00:21:05Oh, my God.
00:21:05Oh, my God.
00:21:10I had a lot of family and friends here with me today
00:21:12that I've seen nothing but ups and downs.
00:21:16Definitely felt like music slowed down for me a lot
00:21:18and I didn't see another way back into it.
00:21:20Oh, that'd be so good.
00:21:22But I believe my life definitely changed with this audition.
00:21:25I'm going to Hollywood Week!
00:21:27Woo!
00:21:27Woo!
00:21:28Woo!
00:21:29Shout out to the insurance company I work for.
00:21:32Thank you all for the job.
00:21:33And I will be taking some time off.
00:21:44You know what my mother used to stop and get me for breakfast?
00:21:47A 20-ounce Mountain Dew.
00:21:49Wow.
00:21:50And a sleeve of powdered donuts.
00:21:52Wow.
00:21:53Okay, we're about to start.
00:21:54Let's hold everything.
00:21:55Luke needs to have his breakfast burrito.
00:21:57The burrito!
00:21:58No, it's just arriving.
00:22:01It'll be 10 more minutes, everyone.
00:22:0210 more.
00:22:02Oh, my God.
00:22:04He's going to have a rushed burrito.
00:22:06Fast burrito.
00:22:07There's burrito and then there's fast burrito.
00:22:10I'm going to have one more bite and I'll be ready.
00:22:15Is there a napkin?
00:22:17Ah.
00:22:23Man.
00:22:25Brrrr.
00:22:27Two seconds.
00:22:29Here we go, guys.
00:22:31All right.
00:22:32And here we go.
00:22:36We made it.
00:22:37Look at it!
00:22:38Ah!
00:22:41My name is Livvy.
00:22:42I'm 22 years old from a small town called Shinston, West Virginia.
00:22:45And I am a server at Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:47Everybody here.
00:22:49Uh-oh.
00:22:49Here we go.
00:22:51Yes!
00:22:52Come on.
00:22:52No one's going on.
00:22:53How are we doing today?
00:22:55My name's Livvy.
00:22:56Welcome to Texas Roadhouse.
00:22:57I'll be serving you.
00:22:58We're going to get you all started with something to drink.
00:23:00We got some Coke products, sweet tea.
00:23:02And Luke, we got that one margarita, two margarita, three margarita.
00:23:07Plenty of shots.
00:23:07You're going to bring a shot?
00:23:08Oh, you got some peanuts.
00:23:10I do.
00:23:10Can I give them to you?
00:23:11Yes.
00:23:12Today for the judges, I'm bringing the energy.
00:23:14I'm bringing the roles.
00:23:16And I'm bringing my personality for them.
00:23:18That's not a server's outfit.
00:23:20Is that your outfit?
00:23:21Do you wear that?
00:23:21Oh, this is my outfit, you know?
00:23:23I got to look sexy for you guys.
00:23:24I got to look snazzy.
00:23:25You're making a mess, by the way.
00:23:28I've got it contained.
00:23:29This is so good.
00:23:30The main place I sing would have to be my job.
00:23:33We do a thing called give us a Texas size yeehaw for the birthdays.
00:23:37So I started singing happy birthday and people were posting me on TikTok.
00:23:41Things were rolling up.
00:23:47Luke, I think my mom's about to have a heart attack.
00:23:50If she sees you, she thinks you're the sexiest man alive.
00:23:53Oh, no, mama.
00:23:55Oh, Luke, come on.
00:23:58Please.
00:23:58She said on the way of her, she said,
00:24:00Is Luke married?
00:24:01I said, yes, mom, he's married.
00:24:03He said, he ain't going to be married by the time I get in there.
00:24:05Oh, boy.
00:24:07You better get prepared.
00:24:08That little Italian woman's about to come get you.
00:24:11Security, security.
00:24:13Well, good deal.
00:24:14Well, what are you going to sing today?
00:24:15I'm singing Love Wins by Carrie Underwood.
00:24:18Oh.
00:24:19All right.
00:24:20Let's hear it.
00:24:21Absolutely.
00:24:25He'll stop smacking.
00:24:28Oh.
00:24:36Straight bulletin' and a mama cries.
00:24:39Her baby won't be coming home tonight.
00:24:43Siren screaming down the avenue.
00:24:46Just another story on the evening news.
00:24:50And so it goes.
00:24:52But I hold on to hope and I won't let go.
00:24:56Cause I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers.
00:25:03And I, I believe we're made to be here for each other.
00:25:10We'll never fall if we walk hand in hand.
00:25:13For the world that seems broken together again.
00:25:16Yeah, I, I, I believe in the end.
00:25:23Love wins.
00:25:32Um, Carrie, is she pushing too hard?
00:25:35It might be a little bit.
00:25:37You, you have a, such a big instrument.
00:25:39And I feel like sometimes if you start off out of the gate going 100 miles an hour, there's nowhere
00:25:45left to go.
00:25:46Absolutely.
00:25:47Fredly, can we do a, play that chorus soft.
00:25:53Sing it soft one time.
00:25:55Absolutely.
00:25:55Real relax.
00:25:58I, I, I, I believe you and me are sisters and brothers.
00:26:05And I, I, I believe in the end.
00:26:11Love wins.
00:26:14That was so much more emotional.
00:26:18Oh my gosh.
00:26:20Hello.
00:26:20That was really nice.
00:26:22Was it enough for maybe you to eat both those?
00:26:25Can I have your biscuits?
00:26:28Get Lionel's.
00:26:29Give me Lionel's.
00:26:30Just, you have enough.
00:26:32My vote is yes.
00:26:33Thank you, queen.
00:26:34I'm excited to see what you do next.
00:26:36I'm excited to grow.
00:26:38Show us all the sides.
00:26:39Your softer side.
00:26:40Your powerful side.
00:26:41Yes for me.
00:26:42You're a queen.
00:26:42Oh my gosh.
00:26:43You're a queen.
00:26:43You're a good enough singer to not have to push so hard.
00:26:46Really focus on capturing the emotion like you did on that second go around.
00:26:49I'm a yes.
00:26:50Oh, thank you.
00:26:51Thank you, Luke.
00:26:52Lionel, what are you?
00:26:53I'm full.
00:26:55I'm sorry.
00:26:56It is an absolute yes for me.
00:26:58Thank you, guys.
00:26:59And let me tell you something.
00:27:00And I mean this from the heart.
00:27:01You're a sweetheart.
00:27:02And if you just calm down and put that voice out there, you've got something magical.
00:27:07Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:09You need this.
00:27:11Thank you, guys.
00:27:11You're going to Hollywood, too.
00:27:13Oh, my God.
00:27:16Remember, Mama.
00:27:17Mama.
00:27:17Mama.
00:27:18Here we go.
00:27:19Oh, my God.
00:27:20Mama Maria.
00:27:22She got the chance to meet Luke, and I think Luke was a little scared.
00:27:25Oh, my God.
00:27:25Can you see how that is?
00:27:27Wait.
00:27:30Get him.
00:27:31Oh, Mama.
00:27:32Get him.
00:27:32He's been warned.
00:27:34Oh, my God.
00:27:44You know, I worked my butt off for this.
00:27:48Like, Gary Underwood, Gabby Barrett, all these people have held the stick and now I got them.
00:27:53Like, now it's my turn.
00:27:55That's all I'm going to say.
00:27:55I'm ready to show the world what I can do, and let's win this, baby.
00:27:59Let's do it.
00:28:00We're going to Hollywood week.
00:28:02Let's give them a big old Texas sign.
00:28:04Yee-haw!
00:28:06Yee-haw!
00:28:10Yee-haw!
00:28:25Yee-haw!
00:28:31I sing Japanese, though I don't speak Japanese for now.
00:28:35I'm still learning English.
00:28:37I can sing opera, rock, jazz, whatever.
00:28:40And I was thinking which style matches me the most.
00:28:43And when I started to work with anime project, I felt like that.
00:29:03From the moment when I started singing, I knew for sure that I'm going to be on stage.
00:29:08That I have enough energy to have a stadium, to have a huge concert.
00:29:12And I really, really want to share this with you guys.
00:29:31I love her.
00:29:35I really love your energy.
00:29:37I love everything you're about.
00:29:40You are a star.
00:29:43You are a star.
00:29:43I thought it was very good.
00:29:46I love your energy.
00:29:48In this arena, we do not have anime night.
00:29:54So I'm not sure this is the avenue.
00:29:57But we enjoy your uniqueness.
00:30:00If I could take your energy and cut it in half.
00:30:04If I could take your vocals and cut it in half.
00:30:07We put the baby got back through.
00:30:09I like big butts.
00:30:11And I cannot lie.
00:30:14I like you, Trace.
00:30:15We got to check y'all's ears.
00:30:17We're not going to put her through.
00:30:18You're hitting on something.
00:30:20I'm hitting on a good point.
00:30:22When Luke has a moment, we recognize.
00:30:25This is my baby got back dude moment.
00:30:28There's show business and then there's entertainment and we don't want theater.
00:30:32We want that pop singer.
00:30:34I can do it.
00:30:41I don't know.
00:30:46I think the only way you're going to know what we're talking about is to put you in the class.
00:30:52You know what I'm thinking?
00:30:53I'm thinking we don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't put the muscle on it.
00:30:59Don't put the muscle on it.
00:31:00Yeah, we're not trying to force Carrie into anything.
00:31:03What do you think, Carrie?
00:31:04You don't need me.
00:31:05Say it.
00:31:06You don't need me.
00:31:07Just say what your vote is.
00:31:09It's a no for me.
00:31:10Oh, what is our vote, Lionel?
00:31:13I'm a big old yes.
00:31:14I'm a big old yes.
00:31:15There you go.
00:31:16I go, yeah?
00:31:17You're going to Hollywood week.
00:31:18You're going to Hollywood week.
00:31:21Guys, we did it.
00:31:22Woo!
00:31:23I love it.
00:31:24Thanks for Kono Bull, Lionel.
00:31:26I know, I love her.
00:31:27I love it.
00:31:28So for our next step, I definitely have one extra challenge.
00:31:31It's to get yes from Carrie.
00:31:37Hollywood week, I'm coming.
00:31:40Carrie, I know this has damaged our judging relationship just a wee bit.
00:31:46Year two with Carrie, she can dig her heels in.
00:31:49I would love to hang out with her.
00:31:50No, totally.
00:31:51She is like Miss Cheerleader.
00:31:53Awesome.
00:31:53I did not find that entertaining.
00:31:55She is 1,000% comfortable in her role as a judge.
00:32:01Well, we'll just have to see what America wants to do.
00:32:04I like her.
00:32:05She's great.
00:32:06I like her.
00:32:07There were several times that me and Carrie, we kind of got at odds.
00:32:13Our brains just are working differently, which is great.
00:32:16I like that.
00:32:16It's definitely more than Baby Got Back, dudes.
00:32:18Y'all are mean.
00:32:20You would be one that by the end of it, it would be like, do you remember his first audition
00:32:25and look how far he's come?
00:32:27I'm a yes.
00:32:28I'm a no.
00:32:29Boo.
00:32:30That was great.
00:32:32She's going to fight for her kids and the talent.
00:32:35The kind of intro, emo, I just worry about that.
00:32:41Yeah, but he said he likes Fall Out Boy.
00:32:44I know.
00:32:44Do you do stuff like that that's like, you can start out all quiet and then like the drums
00:32:49kick in and...
00:32:50I do.
00:32:51See, he does.
00:32:53I'm a no.
00:32:55Shocker.
00:32:56Shocker.
00:32:57If we disagree on something.
00:33:00Oh, are we going to beef?
00:33:02It's too late.
00:33:03You're going to have some flat tires.
00:33:06It's all in love, you know.
00:33:09Hello.
00:33:10Got a whole band with you, trio.
00:33:12All right, well, who are you?
00:33:14My name is Vincent Fondo.
00:33:15Well, who's your crew here?
00:33:17Well, this is my band.
00:33:18We've been together for 18 years.
00:33:19Where are you from?
00:33:20I'm from Cleveland, Ohio.
00:33:22What do you do up there in Cleveland?
00:33:23I do concrete with my brother and I've created this band up there.
00:33:28What's the name of the band?
00:33:29It's named Recess.
00:33:30Recess?
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:31We just think of it as like a break from every day.
00:33:34Awesome.
00:33:35What are you going to sing today?
00:33:36I'm going to sing an original song we actually wrote in 2019.
00:33:40We felt like we were going to break up and instead of breaking up, we just came out with
00:33:45this song.
00:33:45Lionel and I thought we were going to break up in 2019.
00:33:48Never.
00:33:48We were going to stay together no matter what.
00:33:50Stronger than ever.
00:33:52Let's go.
00:33:53Let's go.
00:33:56When every minute heightens my confusion
00:34:00Till I can feel the fall from space
00:34:05How come you look so close like you're right in front of me
00:34:11And if they say that time is an illusion
00:34:14Why can't you see it on my face?
00:34:20How come you look so close but you feel so far away?
00:34:33Oh, how come you look so close?
00:34:41Oh, how come you look so close?
00:34:47Oh, how come you look so close?
00:34:53I know it's over, but it's all I've got
00:34:58I know I'm halfway there, but I'm just not close enough
00:35:03Oh, I know it's over, but it just won't stop
00:35:10Oh, ringing in my ear and the sound of giving up
00:35:17Oh, and I know it's over, but it's all I've got
00:35:24Oh, I know it's over, but it's over, but it's over, but it's over
00:35:54Doing the Tinder stuff, it's almost not really connecting with me all the way
00:35:58It's just not reaching in me and pulling like emotions out right now
00:36:02It's honest
00:36:03Lionel, what you think about our concrete boy?
00:36:05The concrete brother, yeah
00:36:06Was that a concrete solid performance?
00:36:08Concrete work may not be where you're going to end up with this thing
00:36:10If you sound like an old seasoned guy with that voice
00:36:13You know, you kind of know where you're going with that bad boy
00:36:16It's a yes for me
00:36:17Oh, I mean, it's a yes for me
00:36:19She's already won Lionel over
00:36:20You can see the headlines now
00:36:22No, no, it's going to be a good season
00:36:23Carrie and Luke at odds
00:36:25I can vote
00:36:27I'm a no
00:36:28You are dead inside
00:36:31This is a yes for me
00:36:32The concrete boy looks like he has cemented himself
00:36:36Wow
00:36:37In the Hollywood Week
00:36:38Congratulations
00:36:39I'm going to give this to you
00:36:40You're going to Hollywood Week, babe
00:36:41You're getting a
00:36:42And you get a hug
00:36:43Express delivery from Carrie Underwood
00:36:45Thank you so much
00:36:47Thank you
00:36:47Congratulations
00:36:48Very cool
00:36:49Seeing Carrie and Luke at odds was very stunning
00:36:51She never gets mad and mean at anything
00:36:54I'm just glad Carrie was on my side
00:36:57And I was able to move through
00:36:58Carrie's coming strong, okay
00:37:00You watch Harry
00:37:02Yeah
00:37:04Carrie and I are already incapable of being in the room with one another
00:37:11It's Nicki Minaj all over again
00:37:13Oh no, no, no, no
00:37:16I am feeling very, very nervous
00:37:26I've had the jitters all day
00:37:29Were you ever nervous?
00:37:31Like on Idol?
00:37:31Yes
00:37:32Of course
00:37:32I was horrified
00:37:34Were you nervous?
00:37:35A little bit
00:37:36I've never done anything like this before
00:37:38For me
00:37:39If I'm slightly doubtful
00:37:44Once I grab the mic
00:37:46It's only one way
00:37:49I gotta go that way
00:37:51Or you're kind of a superpower
00:37:52You just take charge
00:37:53Well that's the mark of an entertainer
00:37:57That's a superstar
00:37:58Because you're going to figure it out
00:38:00Or you're not
00:38:00Hopefully I can impress the judges
00:38:02I will be giving it my absolute all
00:38:07Right this way
00:38:08Hi
00:38:09How are you?
00:38:10I'm great
00:38:11I'm trying not to cry looking at you

00:39:13I mean, American Idol
00:39:14Come on
00:39:16My dad
00:39:18He's in the ICU right now
00:39:20So
00:39:22So this is all for him
00:39:23I'm doing this for him
00:39:25He believed in me
00:39:25And I'm here
00:39:26And I want this more than ever now
00:39:28Pick it up
00:39:30Pick it up
00:39:31I'm very insecure about my voice
00:39:34But my dad believed in me when nobody else did
00:39:37He saw it in me
00:39:38Even when I didn't see it myself
00:39:42My dad is the kindest person in the world
00:39:45But at the same time
00:39:47He was struggling with addiction
00:39:49Since before I was born
00:39:52There were so many nights
00:39:53I would just cry from watching my dad stumble upstairs
00:40:01And he would say
00:40:03Tonight's going to be my last drink
00:40:05Every day
00:40:06You could still be
00:40:08What you want to
00:40:10What you said you were
00:40:12Recently he has been getting better
00:40:14Because he stopped
00:40:15But he now has liver failure
00:40:18And is currently awaiting a transplant
00:40:27I really want my dad to be in my future
00:40:30But this could be my last chance
00:40:33To show him
00:40:35His daughter tried for him
00:40:41I am going to be singing

00:56:50I would not be where I am today without him
00:56:55Only in a dream
00:56:58Would I be feeling this way
00:57:04And it would be a nightmare lady
00:57:10If you ever ran away
00:57:16Because you are the reason
00:57:19For the way that I feel
00:57:22Is this love a dream or is it for real?
00:57:27And if this is a dream
00:57:30I'd sleep a thousand years

00:57:36Lying right here
00:57:39Cause in my wildest dreams
00:57:47Never would I believe
00:57:51You could love an old man like me
00:57:57I'm just as calm as I can be
00:58:03This love could only happen to me
00:58:11In my wildest dreams

00:59:57That we will have forever
00:59:59In our lives
00:59:59Together as father and son
01:00:00That's right
01:00:03I'm going to Hollywood baby

01:00:06Woo
01:00:07Woo
01:00:08I won't let you go
01:00:19I really want to tell stories
01:00:21I'm a storyteller with my music
01:00:23I've been writing songs
01:00:25As long as I can remember
01:00:26The first one was when I was like five
01:00:28So what are you going to do for us?
01:00:30I'm going to play an original song
01:00:32That I wrote for my long distance friends
01:00:33And it's called
01:00:34Long Live the Lost Boys
01:00:36Okay
01:00:36We're ready for you
01:00:41She was by the window
01:00:43With adventure in her eyes
01:00:45Wondering what was out there
01:00:47Waiting on the other side
01:00:49And he said
01:00:50Make my hand and I
01:00:52Will teach you how to fly
01:00:55He said
01:00:56I can see it in your eyes
01:00:59Cause you're one of the misfits
01:01:01Always doing things
01:01:02That they don't get
01:01:03Stop from taking all of their worst hits
01:01:06Cause you won't fit into their mold
01:01:09So long live the lost boys running home
01:01:12And never let them tame your soul
01:01:15Long live the ones who never grow old
01:01:22That I'm going to tell you right now
01:01:24I'll buy the first copy
01:01:26I'm a fan of
01:01:28It doesn't fit
01:01:29It fits because it's you
01:01:31And your original song
01:01:32Basically described you to a T
01:01:35Thank you
01:01:36It's a yes for me
01:01:37Thank you so much
01:01:38You are super duper unique
01:01:42But I'm trying to see where you would fit
01:01:45In the context of artists today
01:01:48And it's like
01:01:49Can we channel all of that uniqueness
01:01:52Into something where you can be
01:01:55You and your artistry
01:01:56But it also just makes total sense
01:01:59To the listener
01:02:01I could be right
01:02:02Or you could make me look real dumb
01:02:04Someday
01:02:05I think I'm going to have to give you a no
01:02:07So Luke
01:02:08It is
01:02:10It's down to you sir

01:03:36I'm from Montgomery, Alabama
01:03:38No way
01:03:39Down the street
01:03:40Down the street
01:03:41Tuskegee man
01:03:42Alright
01:03:43Yeah man
01:03:44Any musical background
01:03:46In the family
01:03:46Or just you
01:03:48My uncle Lionel
01:03:49Uncle who?
01:03:50Lionel
01:03:53Sounds like a good individual
01:03:56My first memory of music
01:03:58Me and my mom
01:03:58Actually used to watch American Idol
01:04:00That was my first memory of like
01:04:02Loving music
01:04:03And yeah
01:04:04He once tried to run away to Hollywood
01:04:06And he was just gonna run away with a guitar
01:04:08And sing on the street
01:04:11I thought it was crazy
01:04:13Yeah
01:04:14And he was determined
01:04:15And I'm glad you kept that energy
01:04:17Despite what anybody said about you
01:04:19I appreciate it
01:04:20For real
01:04:25Growing up was tough
01:04:28My mom was on drugs
01:04:29It was a lot of times
01:04:30We didn't have water on
01:04:32Lights on
01:04:33I had to take care of my little siblings
01:04:37My mama had a hard life
01:04:39And truthfully
01:04:40My mom went through the same thing
01:04:41I had to go through
01:04:42You know
01:04:43History repeats itself
01:04:47Eventually our family stepped in
01:04:49And my mom got clean
01:04:51And she was actually really trying to change
01:04:54And make things better
01:05:00I lost my mom
01:05:02In 2022
01:05:03Can you hear my cry
01:05:07I had just started to understand
01:05:09I had just started to understand at that time
01:05:11And I had just started to forgive her
01:05:14For a lot of things that we went through
01:05:16As a kid
01:05:18It was hard
01:05:19It was very hard
01:05:22It's what it sounds like
01:05:24When a man cries
01:05:32This is a very special moment
01:05:34Not only for me
01:05:35But for my family
01:05:40For me it's more than auditioning
01:05:42It's just about my family
01:05:44Showing them that you can do anything
01:05:46That you can put your mind to
01:05:48If I go
01:05:51A million miles away
01:05:55I'll write a letter
01:06:00Each and every day
01:06:03Cause I need nothing
01:06:06So nothing can ever change
01:06:10This love I have for you
01:06:19You're the apple of my cherry pie
01:06:27And oh
01:06:29You're cake and ice cream
01:06:32Oh, you're sugar and spice
01:06:38And everything nice
01:06:42You're the girl of my, my, my, my, my, my dreams
01:06:47But if you want it
01:06:50To leave me, yeah, wrong
01:06:54When you got back, baby
01:06:56I just say, well, come on
01:07:01Cause I need nothing
01:07:03Oh, nothing can never change this
01:07:08Cause I need nothing
01:07:10That I can change
01:07:14This old love I have for you
01:07:26So, so I'm channeled now
01:07:28All the folks in Montgomery, Tuskegee, Auburn, Union Springs
01:07:33They told me to give you a hug
01:07:34Oh, thank you so much
01:07:35Thank you, man
01:07:36Oh, no, we're proud of you, son
01:07:38Thank you so much
01:07:39You did well
01:07:40I love that
01:07:40Thank you so much
01:07:41You have a commanding voice
01:07:44But I think my favorite part
01:07:46Was your delivery
01:07:47It was completely intentional
01:07:49And it wasn't trying to
01:07:51Barrel over the song
01:07:53And show us all your big notes
01:07:55Thank you
01:07:56You were just delivering
01:07:57A story to us
01:07:58And it was very believable
01:08:00Thank you so much
01:08:01It was the first time in three days
01:08:04I've had full body chills the whole time
01:08:07And I thought it was just so real and genuine
01:08:10And I just cheer for you
01:08:12I want to see your family
01:08:13Have a blast with all this
01:08:15And, uh
01:08:16Are we going?
01:08:17Is the rest of your family outside this door?
01:08:19They should be
01:08:24We have been waiting on you
01:08:26Come on in, Montgomery
01:08:28This is my brother
01:08:29This is my sister
01:08:30That's my brother
01:08:31That's my little brother
01:08:32That's my auntie
01:08:33That's my uncle
01:08:34Montgomery's going to be proud
01:08:36I think he came in here
01:08:37To take no prisoners
01:08:38And he just did that
01:08:41It's a yes for me
01:08:43I'm a big time yes
01:08:44Carrie, what's the note?
01:08:46Little man
01:08:48You think we should all say yes
01:08:49And give him one of these?
01:08:51Say yes
01:08:51Say yes
01:08:55It's a yes for me
01:08:56Thank you

01:09:19I think they just really proud of me
01:09:21And I know my mom is watching
01:09:28This is hope
01:09:29This is hope
01:09:41We have had the invasion of the Alabamians
01:09:45I'm 17 years old
01:09:46And I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama
01:09:47I'm from Huntsville, Alabama
01:09:48I know where you're from
01:09:50Birmingham
01:09:50From Troy, Alabama
01:09:51Alabama is in the house
01:09:53Roll Tide
01:09:57Roll Tide
01:09:58Yes, my Roll Tide band
01:09:59Oh, no
01:10:00Don't tell me that
01:10:01Which judge are you most excited to meet?
01:10:04Lionel Richie
01:10:05Love his music
01:10:06And he's a Bama boy, too, so
01:10:08I'm here without you, baby
01:10:11But you're still on my lonely mind
01:10:15I think about you, baby
01:10:17And I dream about you all the time
01:10:21I love your voice
01:10:22I love your confidence
01:10:24That little growl you have
01:10:25Is a signature to you
01:10:28It is very different
01:10:30To be here in Nashville
01:10:32Compared to what I'm used to
01:10:33I've never been around
01:10:34Anything like this
01:10:36You want all my love
01:10:39And my devotion
01:10:44You want my loving soul
01:10:48Right on the line
01:10:54I'll give you a chance
01:10:55I'm a yes
01:10:56You need to know
01:10:57What you're capable of
01:10:59If you gotta push a little more
01:11:00You gotta squeeze that tushy
01:11:03I'm a yes
01:11:04It's a yes for me
01:11:05I'm going to Hollywood
01:11:07Wee!
01:11:08Woo!
01:11:09And Miss Carrie
01:11:10Every time I sing
01:11:12I'm gonna remember
01:11:12To squeeze that tushy
01:11:14And let it out
01:11:16Best advice of my life
01:11:22My home state is showing up
01:11:25It's true
01:11:25Hey!

01:11:29I like your sparkle
01:11:30Thank you
01:11:31Where are you from?

01:11:43Well where do you sing?
01:11:45I sing at festivals a lot
01:11:47So those are my favorite
01:11:48I like getting to interact
01:11:49With the people
01:11:50After I finish
01:11:50I like festivals too
01:11:52I'm a talker
01:11:52Good
01:11:54So what kind of music
01:11:55Do you listen to
01:11:57And then what kind of music
01:11:58Do you perform?
01:11:59If I had to pick one
01:12:00I've been kind of pulled
01:12:01Towards Christian rock
01:12:02A little more
01:12:03So
01:12:04That's actually
01:12:04What I'm singing today
01:12:05So
01:12:06Cool
01:12:06Well what song
01:12:07Will you be singing?
01:12:08I'm singing
01:12:09Don't Tread on Me

01:12:23Oh no
01:12:24You've done it now
01:12:26It's time to fill the fire
01:12:29And rumors spreading around
01:12:33How could you think
01:12:34He would stay down
01:12:37Rumors spreading around
01:12:39He's nothing but a liar
01:12:42And get on out of here
01:12:45Get on up and leave
01:12:46Ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:12:50And choking on the blood
01:12:51That ran down the tree
01:12:53Ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:12:56I said no weapon formed against me
01:13:05Shall prosper in Jesus' name
01:13:22I ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:13:27I ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:13:41I ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:13:43I ain't no devil gonna tread on me
01:13:46Woo!
01:13:47That's alright
01:13:48That's alright
01:13:49Okay
01:13:50Okay
01:13:50I will tackle you first
01:13:52You'll tackle you first
01:13:52You'll tackle you first, yeah
01:13:53I'll show you
01:13:53I will
01:13:54I feel like there's a lot of versatility in there
01:13:56Well thank you
01:13:57Just in your tone
01:13:59And you sometimes kinda have this grittiness in your voice
01:14:02Oh I love Rasp
01:14:03That's like my favorite thing in the world
01:14:05Yeah
01:14:05I could hear you singing country
01:14:07I feel like I could hear you singing like some Stevie Nicks
01:14:11I like your voice a lot
01:14:13Thank you
01:14:13And I mean who needs oxygen, right?
01:14:16I was gonna say that
01:14:17I feel like you broke a Carrie Underwood note-holding record somewhere
01:14:22I don't know, I don't know
01:14:23We might have to test it out someday
01:14:25Yeah, we'll have to time it one day
01:14:27But listen, you're very, very spunky
01:14:30And you've got a great energy to you
01:14:31But you know, just sing smart
01:14:34Make sure you sing smart
01:14:35I think that's song choice too
01:14:37Yeah
01:14:37Like because you are so bubbly and fun and spunky
01:14:41Like, should you go forward?
01:14:45Oh my gosh
01:14:46If you keep your song choices like young and fun and spunky
01:14:50That'll do you well
01:14:51Thank you
01:14:52Iowa University is looking for that kind of energy
01:14:56To be on the cheering squad
01:14:57Don't you think?
01:14:58I think so
01:14:59Thank you
01:15:00Shall we vote?
01:15:01Yes

01:15:20This is like so unreal
01:15:22I see this on TV
01:15:23And now like I'm holding it on TV
01:15:25Which is kind of the craziest thing in the world
01:15:29She's got it
01:15:32She's fun
01:15:33She's fun
01:15:34She's got a little Gabby Barrett kind of quality in there too
01:15:38This day was absolute perfection
01:15:41And I'm going to Hollywood week
01:15:43Yay
01:15:48That was a wild ride there for the last 45 minutes
01:15:52Yeah
01:15:53Today was promising
01:15:54I mean, we found some real talent
01:15:58I'm already dreading like paring things down
01:16:02Yeah
01:16:02Ooh
01:16:04Come on in, don't be shy
01:16:06Come on in
01:16:07Watch this
01:16:08How are you?
01:16:09I'm doing very well
01:16:11Ah, so great
01:16:12What is your name?
01:16:13My name is Royal
01:16:14I'm 25 years old
01:16:15I come from Puerto Rico
01:16:17Puerto Rico
01:16:18But, uh
01:16:19A few months ago
01:16:20I moved to California
01:16:21To pursue my music dream
01:16:23So when you moved here
01:16:24Did you move to like Los Angeles?
01:16:27I moved to Death Valley
01:16:28I work in Death Valley National Park
01:16:30Death Valley
01:16:31Yes
01:16:31The hottest place on earth
01:16:33I stretched myself
01:16:37Across
01:16:39Four states
01:16:40New lands
01:16:42West coast
01:16:44Where my dreams lay
01:16:47I've loved music since I was a little girl
01:16:50Back home in Puerto Rico
01:16:52I really tried every route
01:16:54Every way to be involved in music
01:16:57But I feel like I never quite fit in that industry
01:17:01I just didn't want to give up my dream
01:17:05I started searching on Google
01:17:09Jobs with Housing USA
01:17:10And this swapped up
01:17:12Maybe you should go
01:17:14It was so different
01:17:15As of right now
01:17:16I work as a retail associate
01:17:18In the bike shop
01:17:19At Death Valley
01:17:20My job consists of
01:17:22Doing reservations
01:17:24Being the cashier
01:17:25Telling people about all the sites
01:17:28They can go out and explore
01:17:29In the national park
01:17:31The plan was to save up money
01:17:33And then head to L.A.
01:17:35And keep pursuing music
01:17:36I really didn't know
01:17:38What I was getting myself into
01:17:39This is like crazy
01:17:40I live over there
01:17:42By that mountain
01:17:43The hardest thing has been
01:17:45Leaving my whole world behind
01:17:47When was the last time you saw your family?
01:17:50I saw them the day before
01:17:51Arriving to Death Valley
01:17:53It's been six months
01:17:54Since I saw my mom
01:17:55My whole life
01:17:56She told me
01:17:57Go follow your dream
01:17:58And I'll be here to help you
01:17:59Always
01:18:01I know I can hear her
01:18:03Through the phone
01:18:03From Puerto Rico
01:18:04But it's not the same
01:18:06To have that hug in person
01:18:07I feel like she reminds me
01:18:11To be that little girl
01:18:12That had such big dreams
01:18:17Well we actually have a note here
01:18:20From your mom
01:18:21Oh my god
01:18:24It says
01:18:25God bless you
01:18:26I want you to know
01:18:27I'll always be here to support you
01:18:29Remember what I've always told you
01:18:31Since you were little
01:18:32Dreams do come true
01:18:34Don't let anything
01:18:36Or anyone stop you
01:18:38I'm here with you in spirit
01:18:40I love you with all my heart
01:18:42Love, Mama
01:18:43Oh, so beautiful
01:18:45Thank you for that
01:18:46Now that I made you cry
01:18:47Or your mom made you cry
01:18:50What are you going to sing for us?
01:18:51Maybe by Sienna Spiro
01:18:53Oh awesome, okay
01:18:54No, I can't wait to surprise her
01:18:58How are you going to feel
01:18:59When you see her?
01:19:01Very happy and
01:19:05I don't know if I'm going to run
01:19:08Because I'm so excited
01:19:14It's
01:19:14Happy
01:19:26Emotionada
01:19:27All I wanted
01:19:29Was to be a hostage
01:19:32For you to tie me up
01:19:36And never let me leave
01:19:40If we're honest
01:19:42It took the longest
01:19:45Time for you to even notice
01:19:49I was here
01:19:51But now I'm feeling jaded
01:19:55I thought I was your favorite
01:19:59I believe that you for so long
01:20:03Well maybe this time
01:20:06You hurt like I did
01:20:08You won't get no sympathy
01:20:12Cause I got none from you
01:20:15Better make up your mind
01:20:18Mine's not confused
01:20:20Nothing left in me
01:20:23That was to leave a space for you
01:20:26Maybe this time
01:20:30Maybe this time
01:20:33Maybe this time
01:20:35You feel like I do
01:20:38It all feels so good
01:20:44When it's your turn
01:20:47And I'm feeling blue
01:20:49And I'm feeling blue
01:20:52Ooh
01:20:52Ooh
01:20:53Ooh
01:20:53Ooh
01:20:54Ooh
01:20:55Ooh
01:20:56Ooh
01:20:56Ooh
01:20:58Don't fantasize
01:20:59When you picture me
01:21:01When you close your eyes
01:21:02And I'm in your dreams
01:21:04Don't matter to her
01:21:05Don't matter to me
01:21:07Think I care
01:21:08I don't
01:21:09Maybe this time
01:21:12You hurt like I do
01:21:14You won't get no sympathy
01:21:18Cause I got none from you
01:21:20It all feels so good
01:21:24Ooh
01:21:31When it's your turn
01:21:33And I'm feeling blue
01:21:36Ooh
01:21:41Wow
01:21:42Wow
01:21:42Okay
01:21:43Thank you
01:21:44Very cool
01:21:45Very good
01:21:47Thank you so much
01:21:48That was really good
01:21:50I'm kind of at a loss for words
01:21:53Cause I didn't really know what to expect
01:21:56Your tone
01:21:58I mean your range
01:22:00You can feel
01:22:02Just so much emotion
01:22:04It's incredible
01:22:05It really is
01:22:06Yeah
01:22:07You open your mouth
01:22:09And it's just
01:22:10Somber
01:22:11Through every star
01:22:12Through every star
01:22:13I really love the way you navigated a very difficult song
01:22:17And made it yours
01:22:19Yeah, we've heard that song quite a few times now
01:22:23And that was the first time I've heard someone give me the right experience with the song
01:22:28You just really made that song come alive to me
01:22:32And I'm really looking forward to seeing you explore even more
01:22:37Thank you
01:22:37Thank you so much
01:22:39Yeah, I think we can vote
01:22:41But before we do
01:22:42Um
01:22:43In your mom's note
01:22:45She said that she is with you in spirit
01:22:50But she is also
01:22:53With you right now
01:22:56For real
01:23:00Oh my God
01:23:04Oh my God
01:23:09Oh my God
01:23:19Oh my God
01:23:20Oh my God
01:23:21Oh my God
01:23:23Nothing's better than Mama's hug, right?
01:23:25Oh my god
01:23:27I don't need her vote.
01:23:28Let's tell her the good news.
01:23:30You're going to Hollywood Week!
01:23:35I was calling her, and I was like,
01:23:37she's not answering my calls.
01:23:39Like, she's not going to know if I made it or not.
01:23:42And she was here.
01:23:43I'm so excited.
01:23:45Happy.
01:23:47I never would have thought I would be holding one of these
01:23:49in my hands.
01:23:50That was great.
01:23:51That was great.
01:23:52Awesome day, y'all.
01:23:53We're getting there.
01:23:54Class of 2026.
01:23:58Hi, mom.
01:24:00I see a house up on the hill.
01:24:05This golden ticket is like that little bookmark
01:24:09that lets me know it's a new chapter.
01:24:14Mama, gracias.
01:24:18Thank you for being here.
01:24:20I will always remember this.
01:24:24We both made it.
01:24:25Standing still.
01:24:30You're the last audition.
01:24:32Bring it home.
01:24:34You're going to Hollywood Week.
01:24:36Wow.
01:24:37With the guitar.
01:24:38Sir, is your name with Brian?
01:24:39Mind trouble?
01:24:39Yeah.
01:24:40Easy.
01:24:42It's a gift to hurt so much, you know,
01:24:44because it means that something was important there.
01:24:46I love you guys.
01:24:47He was gravity to us.
01:24:48He was my best friend.
01:24:50I didn't think I'd ever get to be somewhere like this.
01:24:52Aw.
01:24:53I can't believe we have not seen you in this room until now.
01:25:02I can't believe we have not seen you in this room until now.
01:25:03I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:03I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:03I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:03I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:04I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:04I can't believe we have no idea.
01:25:04I can't believe we have no idea.
