00:03:59Let's talk voting, yeah.
00:04:01So many easy ways to do it.
00:04:02Say goodbye to the American Idol app.
00:04:04That is out.
00:04:05The social vote is in.

00:04:35They're hoping to continue on in the competition by making it into your top 14 to make sure you vote
00:04:41for all of your favorites.
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.
00:04:53All right, girl.
00:04:54Here's how it went down with the Grange Georges.
00:04:58Filmingly.
00:05:01We are 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!
00:05:21How are you doing?
00:05:21It 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, so what's the song choice today?
00:05:30It's Don't Stop Believin' 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, small town.
00:05:55It's just amazing.
00:05:57I think my family thinks the same way.
00:05:59Aw, 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 I 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.
00:07:08Come on, sing it now.
00:07:10She took the midnight train.
00:07:13Going anywhere.
00:07:18Just a city boy.
00:07:23Wanna race and start to try.
00:07:27He took the midnight train.
00:07:30Going anywhere.
00:07:35I see you in a smoking room.
00:07:38I smell a wild chimney fuel.
00:07:42Come on now.
00:07:43For a smile that can share the night.
00:07:46Goes on and on and on and on.
00:07:52Stranger waiting.
00:07:56Up and down the boulevard.
00:07:58Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:03Shadows searching in the night.
00:08:07Street lights.
00:08:09People.
00:08:11Living just to find the emotion.
00:08:15Hiding somewhere in the night.
00:08:22No stop believing.
00:08:27Hold on to the feeling.
00:08:31Street lights.
00:08:34People.
00:08:39No stop believing.
00:08:44Hold on to the feeling.
00:08:48Street lights.
00:08:50People.
00:09:02There you go.
00:09:16How do you feel?
00:09:17We kicked 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 will have to give you the secret.
00:09:28Some type of hairspray, the thing just does not move.
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, Matt.
00:09:50Thank you so much, Tresha.
00:09:54Filmin', I was very nervous for a second,
00:09:57but 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.
00:10:06I'm so proud of you.
00:10:07Thank you so much.
00:10:08I'm so proud of you.
00:10:09Seriously.
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 on 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 going to surprise yourself.
00:10:53Thank you, Luke.
00:10:57Relax a little bit.
00:10:59It is Aulani, a Disney resort and spa,
00:11:01if you want to start relaxing right there.
00:11:04Philman Lee, everybody.

00:11:22Philman Lee, thank you, buddy.
00:11:25The 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 her time with Brad Pacey.
00:11:59Kiki 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, and 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, and she just told me, like, you're going to
00:12:29command the stage like 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, and I do want to have, like, something in mind.
00:12:42I normally just kind of wing it, but, like, I don't know.
00:12:45All the other rounds have been super emotional, and I'm crying, so now I'm having fun, and
00:12:51I think that's what I'm excited for.
00:12:54It'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, and I think that audience
00:13:06would go crazy.
00:13:07Yeah, yeah!
00:13:12Yeah, yeah!
00:13:13Fantastic!
00:13:14It seemed like you had such ease with it.
00:13:17Yeah, it'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, yeah.
00:13:26Wow.
00:13:26Like, life made.
00:13:28I'm, like, already, I've been, like, crying.
00:13:30Oh, my God.
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, and I feel like this is just a dream come true.
00:13:57What did you want?
00:13:59Baby, I got it.
00:14:02What you need?
00:14:05Yeah!
00:14:06Do you know I got it?
00:14:10Oh, all I'm asking is for.
00:14:19A little respect.
00:14:21Oh, a little respect.

00:14:32Why are you gonna?
00:14:33I ain't gonna do you wrong.
00:14:36Cause I don't want to.
00:14:38Oh, all I'm asking is for.
00:14:41A little bit, a little bit.
00:14:42A little bit, a little bit.
00:14:44Baby, baby, baby.

00:15:11Ooh.
00:15:11And guess what?
00:15:13This is always my money.
00:15:15And all I want you to do for me is to give it to me when I give it.
00:15:20Free, free, free, free, free, free.

00:15:42Yeah.
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:48Oh.
00:15:49Oh.
00:15:58All right, some Aretha there.
00:16:02She's a blueprint artist for you, huh?
00:16:05Oh, yeah, she is.
00:16:07Somebody needs to ring the fire alarm,
00:16:09because you just set the whole show on fire.
00:16:13Girl, 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.
00:16:23You gave us stage presents.
00:16:24You gave us the outfit.
00:16:26I mean, it's giving Mary J. blood.
00:16:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 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.
00:16:49There, there.
00:16:50You completely made it your own.
00:16:52You weren't trying to copy anybody.
00:16:54There you go.
00:16:55You did you.
00:16:55You rearranged the song.
00:16:57They had fun.
00:16:58You had fun.
00:16:58We had fun.
00:17:00That was amazing.
00:17:01Thank you so much.
00:17:02Girl, Katie.
00:17:03That was good.
00:17:05Whoa, that was Aretha Ray, y'all.
00:17:07I mean, I'm just out of...
00:17:08I don't know what vitamin pill you took,
00:17:12but this is when you have to surprise us.
00:17:15You pulled it out and gave it to us.
00:17:16That was amazing.
00:17:17I love it.
00:17:18Thank you so much.

00:17:26if not the best singer,
00:17:28and a way to come out and work the crowd.
00:17:32That didn't get lost on you.
00:17:35Well, look at me dropping nuggets of wisdom, I think.
00:17:40Anyway, I just loved the whole performance.

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.
00:19:55That would be awesome.
00:19:56Thank 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, I'd do anything.
00:20:07You effortlessly sort of get lost in the song, and then acknowledge there's an audience.
00:20:13I don't know if you were giving him the eye you were giving me, but 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, isn't it?
00:20:29It really is.
00:20:30You know, they say I don't meet your heroes, but I'm really glad I met Brad.
00:20:33So, hoping that I can take his advice with me on the stage.
00:20:42You always had enough of things to glitter.
00:20:47And I was far from being made to go.
00:20:51I don't know.
00:20:53I 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.
00:21:07I'm taking that new job in Tennessee.
00:21:11And I quit mine so we could be together.
00:21:16And I can't forget the way you looked at me.
00:21:22But just to see me, you smile.
00:21:26I'd do anything that you wanted me to.
00:21:32And all is said and done.
00:21:36I'd never count a call.
00:21:38It's one thought that's lost.
00:21:43Just to see you smile.
00:21:47Yeah, yesterday I knew just what you wanted.
00:21:51When you came walking up to me with him.
00:21:57I told you that I was happy for you.
00:22:02And given the chance I'd like it.
00:22:07Just to see you smile.
00:22:11I'd do anything that you wanted me to.
00:22:17And all is said and done.
00:22:21I'd never count the cost.
00:22:24It's one thought that's lost.
00:22:28Just to see you smile.
00:22:36Just to see you smile.
00:22:40Yeah!
00:22:44Yeah!
00:22:49Lovely.
00:22:50It was lovely.
00:22:52It was lovely.
00:22:53You know, you made that so comfortable.
00:22:56Yes.
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 that this is what you do naturally.
00:23:06And what you just performed there was about as natural as you're ever going to get.
00:23:09It was fantastic.
00:23:13I agree with everything that Lionel said because you literally transported us into your world.
00:23:18I felt like I was at a beach club.
00:23:19I was at a festival.
00:23:21You 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.
00:23:33Thank you so much.
00:23:34Single as a Pringle.
00:23:36Your voice is so, it 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.
00:23:48There you go.
00:23:48And it's just so easy to listen to you and to watch you.
00:23:52Thank you so much.
00:23:52I loved it.
00:23:54Luke Ryan.
00:23:56Yeah, just keep delivering, keep making us feel comfortable, but also keep adding the pressure
00:24:03and intensity and big songs that really pull you outside of your comfort zone, but you
00:24:07just keep knocking every performance out of the park.
00:24:10Thank you so much.
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.
00:24:24So I was just backstage doing my research.
00:24:27Gallatin, Tennessee.
00:24:29And look at this.
00:24:30Lucas Leon, American Idol, season 24 contestant.
00:24:35Lucas Leon, you've got to vote for him right now.
00:24:37If you want his idol journey to live on, there's multiple ways to cast you on votes.
00:24:41Head on over to AmericanIdol.com for all the details.
00:24:44Lucas Leon, everyone.
00:24:45All right, buddy.
00:24:46Congrats.
00:24:46Well done.
00:24:51The next worship director, Jordan McCullough, takes on a U2 crowd pleaser.
00:24:56Here's how he impressed.
00:24:58Right?
00:25:01How you like in Hawaii?
00:25:02Girl, I'm trying to figure out how I can stay a little long.
00:25:04Yes!
00:25:05Because my goodness, the sun is nice.
00:25:07The water is nice.
00:25:09Goofy!
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, and it was amazing.
00:25:24I felt so honored.
00:25:25I feel like the pressure is on because I feel like a lot of people are looking at me to
00:25:28see,
00:25:28okay, 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 by U2.
00:25:34It's definitely outside of my genre.
00:25:36I picked this song because it talks about I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
00:25:40But honestly, as I'm continuing my journey in American Idol, I kind of finally found what
00:25:45I'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, and I want to just show the judges
00:25:56that I can actually just stand here and sing, too.
00:25:59Just me.
00:25:59And that's always a risk in itself.
00:26:01Every imperfection or perfection will be noticed and acknowledged.
00:26:04So for him to start that way, that's a crazy choice.
00:26:07You 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 got to swing for that fence.
00:26:14I mean, for me, it really says I'm out here without a net.
00:26:18That's the energy that I'm looking for.
00:26:20Okay?
00:26:21I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:26:22I'm stepping out of my comfort for sure, but my approach will be a little bit different
00:26:27than what America has seen, and I hope that they will enjoy it and love it, too.
00:26:36I have climbed the highest mountain.
00:26:47I have climbed through the fields, only to be with you, only to be with you.
00:27:08I have run, I have crawled, I have scaled these city walls, these city walls, only to be with you.
00:27:31I have climbed through the fields, only to be with you, but I still have it found.
00:27:54I have climbed through the fields, only to be with you, only to be with you, only to be with
00:28:03you, only to be with you, only to be with you.
00:28:26I have climbed through the fields, only to be with you, only to be with you, only to be with
00:28:39you.
00:28:42I have climbed through the fields, only to be with you, only to be with you, only to be with
00:29:09you, only to be with you, only to be with you.
00:29:21And you have climbed through the fields, only to be with you to be with you, only to be with
00:29:24you.
00:29:25Beautiful job with that YOUU song.
00:29:27You swamp in your shape a little bit, huh?
00:29:30That emotion, a little overwhelming, what were you feeling, What were you feeling at the end?
00:29:33Yeah, man, it's so ironic to sing a song about, man, not finding what you're looking for.
00:29:37I've done many things. I've tried many things.
00:29:39But tonight, looking out and seeing all of you guys, I feel like I finally have found what I'm looking
00:29:46for.
00:29:49I think that Jordan has used up all the notes possible in the music business.
00:30:00First of all, Jordan, to take a U2 song and turn it into spiritual, that's a feat.
00:30:08And then on top of that, turn the U2 song into your song is the way you win competitions.
00:30:18Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:30:22I love that Lionel used the word spiritual because I feel like I just had the most amazing
00:30:28moment listening to you because we're in this heavenly made place listening to your anointed
00:30:35voice. Yes.
00:30:36Like, praise the Lord for all of this because it was absolutely just mind-blowing.
00:30:44That was incredible, Jordan.
00:30:45Thank you so much.
00:30:46You are so blessed.
00:30:49I receive it.
00:30:52Jordan, what I have to say is just to everyone because when we see a talent like you come up
00:30:57on the stage, I think the thought is, oh, they're safe.
00:30:59America, you still got to vote.
00:31:01Know that at the end of the day, no matter how great he is, we need you to come through
00:31:04and we need you to vote because you got to be in this competition.
00:31:07You are incredible.
00:31:08You are incredible.
00:31:10Thank you so much.
00:31:10That's all I got to say.
00:31:13Your vocal command and your presence, like when you hit your first note, everybody pays
00:31:19attention to you because you know how to really own that moment and your voice is that big.
00:31:25And to be able to navigate the notes to take us on this journey, man, you're a powerhouse
00:31:30singer.
00:31:30Wow.
00:31:31Wow.
00:31:31And you keep surprising me.
00:31:34You know, the Ohana rounds, when you came out and did what you did, I was like, who is
00:31:38this guy?
00:31:39Look at him.
00:31:40And that's what it takes to get through each round of this competition and win the thing.
00:31:44So great job.
00:31:45Thank you so much.
00:31:46So, Jordan is here.
00:31:48America, have you found what you're looking for?
00:31:51Get him into the top 14.
00:31:52It's time to vote.

00:31:56You can also vote online or via text.
00:31:58Message and data rates may apply.

00:34:27I'm so proud of you.
00:34:34I'm so proud of you.
00:34:42my 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.
00:34:53On those mama knows best, and we hear that boom, boom,
00:34:55I want to see a step forward, you know,
00:34:57really leaning into the audience on those moments,
00:34:59because it's kind of like a direct kind of.
00:35:00You confronting them.
00:35:01Yes.
00:35:02See mama, mama knows best.
00:35:05See 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.
00:35:13Here, here.
00:35:15Oh my gosh.
00:35:16You look beautiful.
00:35:17This woman was wonderful.
00:35:19For sure.
00:35:19My mom was so sweet.
00:35:20Now, are you the singer or the rapper?
00:35:21I'll rap.
00:35:23My mom will sing.
00:35:24Hey.
00:35:25Hey.
00:35:26Hey.
00:35:26Hey.
00:35:27The fact that she's dedicating the song to her mom,
00:35:29I love the lineage you respect.
00:35:31I wanted her to be herself.
00:35:32I just felt like that's all you can bring is yourself.
00:35:34And I felt like God ordained this.
00:35:36This is already predestined.
00:35:37So regardless of whatever happens,
00:35:39I felt like she's a winner.
00:35:40Mama knows best.
00:35:42Yay!
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.
00:36:09How can I trust someone who's lying to me?
00:36:14And so, how I go?
00:36:16And I said, how I leave?
00:36:18I said, take your back and go.
00:36:21Cause you're not for me enough.
00:36:25Mama knows best when I get a heart.
00:36:29And Papa always has a toe to make me laugh.
00:36:34Mama knows best when I feel down to bring me up and always keep my day.
00:36:42She's up!
00:36:42I said, I'm gonna be high!
00:36:45I said, can you do that?
00:36:46Because I'm gonna be high!
00:36:47I feel the best that my daddy said to me,
00:36:50I'm gonna be high!
00:36:51I'll be high!
00:36:51Always use humor as you're better in me.
00:36:54Don't never take too seriously
00:36:59Just do you, cause you do you so perfectly
00:37:03Yeah

00:37:39And know it's hitting my feet

00:44:51Such as yourself
00:44:52To learn how you got to be this way

00:45:04Coming up

00:45:06Is off the charts
00:45:07And hoping to prove
00:45:08Just that
00:45:09Is Madison Moon
00:45:11She takes the idle stage
00:45:13After the break
00:45:14Right after this
00:45:16Let's go, Mickey
00:45:29Looking good
00:45:30Back with you on American Idol
00:45:32We always love the backdrop
00:45:33Here at Disney's Aulani Resort
00:45:35What better place to chase
00:45:37The idle dream
00:45:37Hoping to shine tonight
00:45:39It's Madison Moon
00:45:45Guys, look at it
00:45:47Oh my goodness
00:45:48Every time we go somewhere
00:45:50My family finds a sunset
00:45:52Being able to do that in Hawaii
00:45:53Means everything
00:45:54Did you ever think you would be here?
00:45:57Literally doesn't even say what we're on
00:45:59My dad got to join me
00:46:01In meeting Kiki Palmer
00:46:02And Brad Paisley
00:46:03I feel like I kind of got my voice
00:46:04From my daddy
00:46:05He is an excellent vocalist
00:46:07And he pours his heart
00:46:08And soul into it
00:46:09He had a high school band
00:46:11He got asked to be
00:46:12The lead singer of Pantera
00:46:13Which was dope
00:46:14Would you want to sing a little something?
00:46:17I'll do it for her
00:46:18He wanted to pursue it further
00:46:20But he decided to give that up
00:46:22To raise a family
00:46:24Don't stop believing
00:46:27The world kind of missed out
00:46:29On him as a musician
00:46:33Streetlights people
00:46:39Oh my gosh
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
00:46:48Kelly Clarkson
00:46:48Okay
00:46:49It's very bold
00:46:50Especially doing a song
00:46:51By a former idol
00:46:53Since you've been gone
00:46:56I can't breathe for the first time
00:47:00I'm all about taking risks
00:47:01In this competition
00:47:02I haven't played it safe
00:47:03And I'm not going to
00:47:04It's pretty crazy
00:47:06What's in the tank
00:47:07You were feeling it
00:47:08And being fun
00:47:09And not taking it too seriously
00:47:10But also giving in
00:47:11When it was time
00:47:12And again
00:47:13And again
00:47:16Woo
00:47:16There was a moment
00:47:17With the note
00:47:18Where I was like
00:47:18Uh oh
00:47:19How are you feeling
00:47:20About the big note?
00:47:20I wasn't really
00:47:21Yeah
00:47:22You know
00:47:22Doing all the warm ups
00:47:23And stuff today
00:47:24Yeah
00:47:24One thing that
00:47:25Always helped me to be
00:47:26To lean in
00:47:27If I go left
00:47:28Let me go all the way left
00:47:29You know
00:47:30It's never any mistakes
00:47:31Because we don't really know
00:47:32What you was trying to do
00:47:34I absolutely feel pressure
00:47:35If I don't hit this note
00:47:37I'm going home
00:47:46Here's the thing
00:47:47You started out friends
00:47:49It was cool
00:47:51But it was all pretend
00:47:53Yeah, yeah
00:47:55Soon to be gone
00:47:59And all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:02Is how I picture me with you
00:48:06That's all you'd ever hear me say
00:48:09Said you'll be gone
00:48:13I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:17I'm so moving on
00:48:19Yeah, yeah
00:48:21Thanks to you
00:48:23Now I get
00:48:24What I want
00:48:28Said you'll be gone
00:48:30I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:30You're on your side
00:48:33Out of sight
00:48:35Out of mind
00:48:37Shut your mouth
00:48:38But just can't take it
00:48:40Again and again and again and again and again
00:48:47And again
00:48:51Since you've been gone
00:48:52I can't breathe for the first time
00:48:57So moving on
00:49:01Makes you feel
00:49:03I can't breathe for the first time
00:49:12I'm so moving on
00:49:13So moving on
00:49:14Yeah, yeah

00:49:27Since you've been gone
00:49:30Since you've been gone
00:49:34Since you've been gone
00:49:36Wow!
00:49:39Wow!
00:49:40Thank you, y'all!
00:49:42Taking on one of Idol's biggest voices yet, Barry Clarkson!
00:49:47Amazing to watch you
00:49:49And then I was cut to your father
00:49:50Who was singing every lyric as well down there
00:49:52It was brilliant
00:49:53He was like
00:49:55I love you, Daddy
00:49:57What was that face you did?
00:50:00There it is
00:50:03So earlier today
00:50:04I 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
00:50:10So I didn't really know
00:50:11But I was like
00:50:12I bet that's Madison
00:50:14Like that has to
00:50:15She's the only one that I feel like
00:50:17I 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
00:50:38Blew 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 gonna take a breath
00:50:48She's gonna come back down
00:50:49Give a moment
00:50:50Girl, you stayed
00:50:53FM all the way through then
00:50:54It was amazing
00:50:55Amazing
00:50:57Keep that mentality
00:50:59Keep that rocker energy
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 gonna hit that Kelly note
00:51:21That we know
00:51:21Why don't nobody wanna sing this song?
00:51:23And you did it
00:51:25I've been a fan of American Idol
00:51:26Since the beginning
00:51:27And this season

00:51:43This is everything I wanna do
00:51:44And to see my family watching me

00:52:57This morning I woke up early
00:52:58And went to the spa
00:53:01This is the first time ever being pampered
00:53:03This is the best
00:53:04I've been enjoying the princess treatment
00:53:06But I don't think it's going to last very long
00:53:08When I'm not here with American Idol
00:53:10I'm working and I'm trying to pay bills
00:53:13I don't really have a whole lot of down time
00:53:15So being in a spa for the first time
00:53:16Was so nice
00:53:18This round I'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 route
00:53:27And I'd listen to the song
00:53:29Over and over and over again
00:53:30I'm holding on your rope
00:53:32Got me 10 feet off the ground
00:53:36This is one of the more intimate 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 want to sing along to
00:53:44But also with intimacy
00:53:45But fun is different for 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
00:53:57I think with this song
00:53:58Will bring the funness
00:54:00That you're also looking to
00:54:01Yeah absolutely
00:54:04Yes
00:54:05There you go
00:54:06I said it's too late to 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 lean 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 advice
00:54:26And let my hair down
00:54:28And drop a button or two
00:54:29That's it
00:54:30That was giving
00:54:31Yeah
00:54:31Yeah
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
00:55:03But wait
00:55:06Tell 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
00:55:21I 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
00:55:46Like a heart
00:55:47Need to be
00:55:48But it's nothing new
00:55:53I loved you
00:55:54With the fire
00:55:55You read
00:55:56Now it's burning blue
00:56:01Sorry like an angel
00:56:03Heaven let me think
00:56:05Was you
00:56:08Cause it's too late
00:56:10To apologize
00:56:12It's too late
00:56:15I said it's too late
00:56:18To apologize
00:56:20Yeah
00:56:24Oh
00:56:29Wow
00:56:32I said it's too late
00:56:34To apologize
00:56:37It's too late
00:56:48There he is
00:56:49Nice work
00:56:50So you wanted to create
00:56:51Some intimate moments
00:56:53In that performance
00:56:54Yeah
00:56:54Absolutely
00:56:55Lionel
00:56:56So let me just tell you
00:56:57The first verse
00:56:59You were concentrating so hard
00:57:01You almost blew up
00:57:02I'm telling you
00:57:03You were just
00:57:04In every note
00:57:05I'm thinking about it
00:57:06I gotta make it perfect
00:57:08Second verse
00:57:11You joined us
00:57:12I mean
00:57:13From that point on

00:57:26But you also have
00:57:26A great vibe
00:57:27And the way that
00:57:28You transformed the song
00:57:30It was like okay
00:57:30I'm getting the Chris version
00:57:31Of 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

01:00:37Alani time
01:00:38Right
01:00:38Watch this
01:00:40I always dreamed
01:00:42That my voice
01:00:43Would bring me to places
01:00:44Like this
01:00:44And it happened
01:00:48Being 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
01:00:55No matter how your heart
01:00:56Is grieving
01:00:57If you keep on believing
01:00:59This is a whole one
01:01:01It will be my first
01:01:01Whole one ever
01:01:05We're best buds now
01:01:07It's just been so fun
01:01:08The memories that we're making
01:01:09Is just all unforgettable
01:01:10This is really a dream come true
01:01:18Look at how you just saw
01:01:19Ruby Rake cruising
01:01:20On the catamaran
01:01:21Here she is now
01:01:23Coming face to face
01:01:24With Brad Paisley
01:01:25And Kiki
01:01:26Watch
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
01:01:42Cheers
01:01:44There's characters
01:01:45Everywhere
01:01:45We saw Goofy
01:01:46And then Chip
01:01:47And Dale
01:01:47Feels absolutely insane
01:01:49To make top 20
01:01:50I'm just like
01:01:51Really excited
01:01:51And proud to be here
01:01:52Hey
01:01:53Hi there
01:01:54What'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 of the
01:02:08School
01:02:08Uh oh
01:02:09I decided when I was 11
01:02:11That it would be a fun
01:02:12Idea to 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
01:02:28Aw 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 performance
01:02:58To watch
01:03:06I got five for a hot
01:03:08I'm not scared of the dark
01:03:10You've 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
01:03:37When no one else
01:03:39Was ever behind me
01:03:41All these lights
01:03:43They can't find me
01:03:44With your love
01:03:46Nobody can drag me
01:03:48All my life
01:03:50You stood by me
01:03:51When no one else
01:03:53Was ever behind me
01:03:55All these lights
01:03:57They can't find me
01:03:58With your love
01:04:00Nobody can drag me down
01:04:04Nobody, nobody
01:04:06Nobody can drag me down
01:04:11Nobody, nobody
01:04:13Nobody can drag me
01:04:16All my life
01:04:18You stood by me
01:04:19When no one else
01:04:21Was ever behind me
01:04:23All these lights
01:04:25They can't find me
01:04:26With your love
01:04:27Nobody can drag me down
01:04:33Nobody, nobody
01:04:35Nobody can drag me down
01:04:40Nobody, nobody
01:04:42Nobody can drag me down
01:04:49Nobody can drag me down
01:04:56Nobody, nobody can drag me down
01:05:02Nobody, nobody can drag me down
01:05:03Nobody, nobody can drag me down
01:05:23You know, a little bit
01:05:23A little bit to like
01:05:24Find your sassy side
01:05:26When you're singing
01:05:27Nobody can drag me down
01:05:28You know
01:05:28Gotta have a little sass in there
01:05:30So I just want to challenge you
01:05:31To find that side of yourself
01:05:33And show it
01:05:34Bring it
01:05:34All right
01:05:35Let's go
01:05:35So I thought for a moment
01:05:37When she started
01:05:38I said she's gonna run out of air
01:05:39Because she's moving
01:05:41I can hear her breathing
01:05:43And then she hit that note
01:05:44And held it all evening
01:05:46I know you were thinking
01:05:47You were overthinking
01:05:48Don't do it
01:05:49You've got the goods
01:05:50That was amazing
01:05:51That you kind of
01:05:52Pulled that one out
01:05:53I'm telling you
01:05:53Thank you
01:05:54It's 16, right?
01:05:55Yeah
01:05:56That's disgusting
01:05:58That's just disgusting
01:05:59Yeah
01:05:59First of all
01:06:00It's incredible
01:06:01That you have a voice
01:06:01On you like that
01:06:02The only thing
01:06:03That I would have wanted
01:06:03Was to know that
01:06:04You were able to
01:06:05Take your time with it
01:06:06And you know
01:06:06Let the band
01:06:07Catch up to you
01:06:08Instead of you being
01:06:09A little bit in front of them
01:06:10But these are small things
01:06:11That'll go towards you
01:06:12In this competition

01:06:22Like a 16 year old mentality
01:06:24But you do have a great voice
01:06:26It was really like
01:06:27A 16 year old performance
01:06:29For the first time
01:06:30That we've seen out of you
01:06:31Which is
01:06:31What is it Lionel?
01:06:33It's disgusting
01:06:34It's just disgusting
01:06:35But you need to work on this
01:06:37Like you know
01:06:37Get in that mentality
01:06:38Of like
01:06:39I'm gonna get out here
01:06:40And like
01:06:40Almost create a little alter ego
01:06:42Where you
01:06:43Where you got a little more
01:06:44Angst in there
01:06:45But I love your voice

01:07:44For a while
01:07:45Here's his mentor meetup
01:07:46With Brad and Kiki
01:07:49I was here two summers ago
01:07:51My family and I
01:07:53Were big Hawaii fans
01:07:54We're also big Disney fans
01:07:55And my favorite character
01:07:56Is Stitch
01:07:57Stitch
01:07:59What's going on buddy?
01:08:00I just think he's
01:08:01A little troublemaker
01:08:02I love his voice
01:08:03Ohana means family
01:08:04Family means
01:08:06Nobody gets left behind
01:08:08To be back here
01:08:08At Disney's Aulani Resort
01:08:10Feels like a blessing
01:08:11There is just no such thing
01:08:13Is a bad day in Hawaii
01:08:14Thank you
01:08:15Thank you
01:08:16Hi
01:08:17Hi Julian
01:08:18For this round
01:08:19I'm choosing a song called
01:08:20Tourniquet by Zach Bryant
01:08:21There's delays on the plains
01:08:23At Mr. Montana
01:08:25Where you told me you were
01:08:26Leaving
01:08:27It means a lot to me
01:08:28So why is that?
01:08:29Tourniquet to me means
01:08:30Picking someone else up
01:08:32When they're hurting
01:08:33And always telling someone
01:08:34I have your back
01:08:35Well if you need a tourniquet
01:08:37Or if you want a tourniquet
01:08:38Know that I'll be by your side
01:08:40What always heals my heart
01:08:42Is thinking about
01:08:43The people that I have
01:08:44In my life
01:08:45And what motivates me
01:08:46Even more
01:08:47Is hoping that
01:08:48Whoever's listening
01:08:49Gets that feeling
01:08:50That I understand
01:08:51I see you
01:08:52It felt very authentic
01:08:53And so I think you're
01:08:55Getting a real sense
01:08:55Of who he is
01:08:56As an artist
01:08:56You know that's magic
01:08:58Being this close
01:08:59Great voice
01:09:00You know it's really
01:09:01Thank you so much
01:09:02Captivating
01:09:03Your prowess on the guitar
01:09:04Shows
01:09:05Your voice is perfect
01:09:06Thank you so much
01:09:08You're suited for that song
01:09:08Sometimes when you're
01:09:09In a competition
01:09:10It's like you're thinking
01:09:11About what's gonna do
01:09:12My voice the best
01:09:13But if you just sing
01:09:13What's true to you
01:09:14Yeah
01:09:14It's somehow
01:09:15It's most perfect
01:09:16Music can feel like a hug
01:09:18Music can feel like
01:09:19A hand on your back
01:09:20That tells you
01:09:21You're not alone
01:09:21And that's what I'm trying
01:09:22To replicate with
01:09:23My performance
01:09:42There's a lace on the plains
01:09:44Out of eastern Montana
01:09:45Where you told me
01:09:46You were
01:09:48You've been stabbed
01:09:49In the back
01:09:50In the rest of your body
01:09:52Won't you tell me
01:09:52Where you're bleeding from
01:09:55Well if you need
01:09:56A tourniquet
01:09:56Or if you wanna
01:09:57Turn and quit
01:09:58Know that I'll be
01:09:59By your side
01:10:00I pledge your whole soul
01:10:03And the things
01:10:03You can't control
01:10:04In a world
01:10:05You'll never satisfy
01:10:08But I'll bandage up
01:10:09Your body
01:10:10Your bones
01:10:11And your bad days
01:10:12To
01:10:14Take care of the blood
01:10:16That your love runs through
01:10:19I know all the damage
01:10:21Some days
01:10:22In this dark world
01:10:24Does
01:10:25But you
01:10:26Have been last
01:10:27Seen something
01:10:28I dreamed of
01:10:31Come on
01:10:46I know all the damage
01:10:48Some days
01:10:48In this dark world
01:10:50I know all the damage
01:10:50In this dark world
01:10:52Take care of the blood
01:10:54That your love runs through
01:10:56Oh and I know all the damage
01:10:59Some days
01:11:00In this dark world
01:11:03But you
01:11:04Laughed at last
01:11:05Seen something
01:11:06I dreamed of
01:11:10Dreamed of
01:11:13There's delays
01:11:14On the plains
01:11:15Out of eastern Montana
01:11:16Where you told me
01:11:17You were
01:11:18Leaving from
01:11:19You've been stabbed
01:11:20In the back
01:11:21And the rest of your body
01:11:23Won't you tell me
01:11:24Where you're bleeding from
01:11:26Won't you tell me
01:11:27Where you're bleeding from
01:11:31Yeah man
01:11:33Yeah man
01:11:34Yeah man
01:11:39Kulian
01:11:40Well just listen to that
01:11:44Thank you
01:11:45Thank you
01:11:45What did you connect with
01:11:46In that song
01:11:47What message?
01:11:48Well to me
01:11:49I wanted to
01:11:50Whenever I listen to a song like this
01:11:51I think of unconditional love
01:11:53Whether it be for a friend
01:11:54For someone you love
01:11:56And it just means
01:11:57That you're never gonna leave their side
01:11:58Their worst days
01:11:59And their best days
01:12:01I wanted it to feel like
01:12:03A hand on your back
01:12:04A hand
01:12:04You know
01:12:05That you can hold
01:12:06A hug
01:12:06Just you know
01:12:07Letting you know
01:12:08That you're never alone
01:12:09No matter how down you are
01:12:13I love you
01:12:14That's all I'm gonna say
01:12:15I love you
01:12:17Be key
01:12:18I haven't been a part
01:12:19Of the journey
01:12:19Like these guys
01:12:20But I agree
01:12:21I mean
01:12:22I feel like
01:12:22I've been watching you
01:12:23In the light of this
01:12:24I can tell how much
01:12:25It means to you
01:12:25And that it's so true to you
01:12:27Your voice
01:12:28Is beautiful
01:12:29I mean
01:12:29I can listen to you
01:12:30Go on and on and on
01:12:31You know
01:12:31And then when you look up
01:12:32You're talking about
01:12:33Tourniquet
01:12:33This is a deep and intense song
01:12:35But you're delivering that hope
01:12:37When you look up
01:12:38During the performance
01:12:38And you flash us that smile

01:14:58On our beach side stage
01:15:00It's coming from
01:15:01School teacher

01:15:18Unfortunately
01:15:18My son couldn't be here
01:15:19For this performance
01:15:20Because he had to go
01:15:21Back to school
01:15:22Maybe on my next voyage
01:15:23I can meet him
01:15:23Okay, yes
01:15:24For sure
01:15:27How you doing?
01:15:29Huge fan
01:15:30I'm a big fan of Kiki

01:15:32I was like, mama, I made it
01:15:34I love that
01:15:35Well, Keila, I'm so excited
01:15:36What are you going to be singing?
01:15:37With a little help with my friend
01:15:38All right
01:15:39What drew you to this song?
01:15:41There was a time
01:15:42When I didn't feel like
01:15:43I was good enough
01:15:44You know, I didn't know
01:15:44Where I was going
01:15:45I was confused
01:15:46God had to place friends
01:15:47Around me
01:15:47I had that
01:15:48Really helped me
01:15:48They were destiny helpers
01:15:50To me
01:15:50Helped me to my purpose
01:15:51And they pushed me
01:15:52What would you do
01:15:54If I sang
01:15:56Hearing her sing
01:15:57I didn't know what to expect
01:15:58And when her voice came out
01:16:00It was just awesome
01:16:03It felt so truthful
01:16:04I would have a little help
01:16:06With my friends
01:16:07She seemed like
01:16:09Oh, this is a perfect singer
01:16:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:16:14If I would have a little help
01:16:18From my friends
01:16:24Oh, that was a lot
01:16:26Oh, no, oh, no
01:16:27Don't do it to me
01:16:32Such a special voice
01:16:36Such a special voice
01:16:47Wow
01:16:47That voice was ancestral
01:16:49Girl
01:16:50What you're doing
01:16:51Is more than just singing
01:16:52You're embodying spirit
01:16:54Through song
01:16:55That's beautiful
01:16:56Seriously
01:16:57Thank you
01:16:57It blew my mind
01:16:58When I sang for the mentors
01:17:00I'm humble
01:17:00And I'm grateful
01:17:01Because that just lets me know
01:17:03That no matter what I sang
01:17:04Somebody's gonna feel it
01:17:06And I want somebody
01:17:06To feel it
01:17:19What would you do
01:17:21If I sang
01:17:23Got a tune
01:17:25Would you stand up
01:17:26And walk out on me
01:17:29Lend me a way
01:17:31Oh, when I sang you a song
01:17:34And I would try
01:17:35Not to sing it out of key
01:17:37Oh, yeah
01:17:39Getting by with a little help
01:17:41From my friends
01:17:43Getting by with a little help
01:17:46From my friends
01:17:47Is it all right?
01:17:49If I get by with a little help
01:17:51From my friends
01:17:52Oh, yeah
01:17:58What would you do
01:18:00When my love is gone away
01:18:04Oh, yeah, yeah
01:18:08And how would I feel
01:18:11Any other day
01:18:14Are you sad
01:18:15Because we're all on your own
01:18:17Yeah
01:18:19Oh, yeah
01:18:21Is it all right?
01:18:23If it's just me, my friend
01:18:25My little help
01:18:26From my friends
01:18:27We'll begin it by
01:18:32Oh, yeah

01:19:12Oh, yeah
01:19:36Oh, yeah
01:19:51Wow.
01:19:55Wow.
01:19:56Wow.
01:19:58People have come out on their balconies at the hotel.
01:20:02Marine life is pop- sea turtles are popping out up there going, what is- the fishes are
01:20:07going, what's happening up there on that stage?
01:20:10Oh my god.
01:20:11What did just happen, Lionel?
01:20:13What was that?
01:20:15I have never, I have never, ever, I've been on American Idol since I was that big.
01:20:27I have never had any contestant walk out on this stage and 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, I don't know who you are.
01:20:47But that right there was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
01:20:57That was ridiculous.
01:20:59Lionel had to bring me back to life.
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 and get people turned up like
01:21:11this, her name was Fantasia Burrito.
01:21:13Watch out.
01:21:14Watch out.
01:21:14Watch out.
01:21:15And she won American Idol.
01:21:17And I'm going to just leave that there and tell America there's a lot of favorites and
01:21:21y'all need to vote.
01:21:22Watch out.
01:21:23Vote, y'all.
01:21:24Vote.
01:21:24Because Kila, what you just did right there, girl, you a bad girl and I'm not touching
01:21:28you.
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 about what you're doing
01:21:42as it's happening.
01:21:44Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
01:21:44Like 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 Kila and then out to us.
01:21:56Thank you, Kari.
01:21:57Thank you so much, Kari.
01:22:01And who?
01:22:04I don't know.
01:22:07Do you remember when I kind of gave you a couple of little singing lessons in the
01:22:12audition?
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, yes.
01:22:21Thank you for allowing me that time.
01:22:24But I hereby relinquish my vocal lessons to you.
01:22:28Oh, my God.
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 a trench and a rug.
01:22:34I ain't never seen nothing like that before.
01:22:36Ever.
01:22:36When you get us this excited, what is so special is you ain'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.
01:22:46Yes.
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 feel 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.
01:23:11Right.
