00:04:40Fabulous.

00:04:43and I never thought that I would be on this journey
00:04:46and to be where I am today.
00:04:48Man, it feels so good being out here, the sun, the beach.
00:04:53I feel like I'm living a life.

00:05:11She didn't miss a note.
00:05:12She didn't miss a note.
00:05:14That was incredible.
00:05:15I'm for it.
00:05:16If I were to say anything,
00:05:17it's just another little element you could sprinkle on
00:05:19is talking to the audience.
00:05:20As that in, vamp out comes in,

00:07:52There it is!
00:07:55It's a big finish!
00:07:57Hi everyone!
00:07:59Great to see you in Hawaii! Aloha!
00:08:01Aloha!
00:08:02Aloha spirit!
00:08:03Did she engage with you?
00:08:04I think she did!
00:08:05Yes!
00:08:07Well, judges, did you feel it as well?
00:08:09Let's start with you, Lionel.
00:08:10What do you think?
00:08:10Did we feel it?
00:08:12Did we feel it?
00:08:14Thank you, thank you.
00:08:16That's how you start a show off.
00:08:17Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
00:08:21Talk about a crowd pleaser.
00:08:24Who?
00:08:24From the moment that you stepped out,
00:08:27you had the audience engaged.
00:08:29Now in the first verse, did something happen real quick?
00:08:32Oh, maybe real, real quick.
00:08:34Your recovery?
00:08:37It was insane.
00:08:39It felt like a quick moment, but then you breezed right through
00:08:41and kept the energy up high the whole time.
00:08:43It was incredible, girl.
00:08:44Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:08:46Insane!
00:08:48I mean, you understood the assignment.
00:08:50That's right.
00:08:51You're the first one up, and I mean, you came out and you delivered.
00:08:54I went back and I rewatched your audition, and like, you just have notes on notes on notes on notes,
00:08:59and here you got to show us that you not only can sing, but you are a performer.
00:09:05That's right.
00:09:09You ain't in Arkansas no more, so.
00:09:11Oh, come on!
00:09:12I mean, your outfit's great.
00:09:14Your whole presentation and the energy was just through the roof.
00:09:17And just watching the crowd react is what it's all about.
00:09:20Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:24Starting us off up-tempo.
00:09:26Micaiah needs your votes to move on in the competition.
00:09:28You can vote for her online via text or for the first time ever by commenting Micaiah's name
00:09:33on our official American Idol voting post on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
00:09:38Micaiah, everyone.
00:09:39Thank you very much.
00:09:40Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:09:45All right.
00:09:45Lots to do coming up.
00:09:46Jake Vista delivers some Huey Lewis and the news right here from Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:09:52More idols right after this show.
00:10:03Back with you on Idol where we love highlighting the great work being done by Make-A-Wish.
00:10:08I wanted to meet eight-year-old Harper Wright here, our superstar, who is bravely facing ongoing treatment for a
00:10:16brain tumor.
00:10:17She wished to visit us here at American Idol with her family here at Disney's Aulani Resort.
00:10:23You're a star.
00:10:24Are you having a good time?
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:27All right.
00:10:27Well, we love your energy.
00:10:28We love your spirit.
00:10:30Aloha to Harper, please.
00:10:31Aloha.
00:10:32Aloha.
00:10:34Give it to me.
00:10:35Good job.
00:10:37Disney's worked alongside our friends at Make-A-Wish for nearly 45 years
00:10:41and is proud to grant a Disney wish every hour of every day.
00:10:45You can learn more at wish.org slash Disney.
00:10:48Now, here's how Brad Pais and Kiki Palmer took the reins with singer-songwriter Jake Thistle.
00:10:53You ready?
00:10:54Come on.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:57You've been performing since you were nine.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00From nine to 15, I could play bars because I was young enough where nobody would ever think to serve
00:11:04me.
00:11:04I was the same way.
00:11:05I did bars from the time I was 10 until I left and it actually scared me off alcohol for
00:11:11a long time.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13We come from different parts of the country and we play different styles of music, but we still have a
00:11:17lot of shared experiences.
00:11:18And so I had a great time talking to Brad about that.
00:11:20I'm singing The Power of Love by Huey Lewis.
00:11:22Oh my God.
00:11:23So that's one of my favorite songs of all time.
00:11:25The power of love is a curious thing.
00:11:29Make a one man weep, make another man sing.
00:11:33You're a tremendous player.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35That's so kind to you.
00:11:36That is so perfectly done.
00:11:39That's a power of love.
00:11:42Yes!
00:11:43That's a high song.
00:11:44I mean, Huey always sang higher than you think.
00:11:48There's something about that voice of his.
00:11:49But in your case too, go for those high ones.
00:11:52Power, you feel the power.
00:11:54Jake makes it effortless and, you know, sometimes you want to make it look hard.
00:11:58I had a record exec once tell me, make it look hard tonight.
00:12:02And so I played a solo that's not that hard.
00:12:05And I was just like, ah, and like in the middle.
00:12:08And the cover of the newspaper the next day was that shot.
00:12:11There's sort of a power about getting out there and really, you know,
00:12:14going for it with facial expressions and body language.
00:12:17And that was great advice for him to give me.
00:12:19I can't wait to see how this goes.
00:12:20This is all going to come down to the stage presence that you show, I think,
00:12:24on a song like this.
00:12:25Thank you guys so much.
00:12:26You're great, man.
00:12:27Yay!
00:12:27It really means the world.
00:12:40Power of love is a curious thing.
00:12:43Make one man win, make another man sing.
00:12:48Change your heart to a little wider.
00:12:51More than a feeling, that's the power of love.
00:12:59Don't need money, don't take that.
00:13:03Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
00:13:07It's strong and it's sudden, but it's cruel sometimes.
00:13:10It might just save your life.
00:13:15You say that all in love is sad.
00:13:20Yeah, but you don't care.
00:13:23With a little help from above, you feel the power of love.
00:13:31You feel the power of love.
00:13:36First time you feel it, it might make you mad.
00:13:40Next time you feel it, it might make you sad.
00:13:44But you'll be glad, baby, when you find me.
00:13:48That's the power that makes the world go round.
00:13:52Don't need money, don't take faith.
00:13:56Don't need no credit card to ride this train.
00:13:59Tough with a diamond, stronger than still.
00:14:04You won't feel love until you see it.
00:14:07You want the power?
00:14:09Oh, you feel the power of love.
00:14:12You feel the power?
00:14:13Feel the power of love.
00:14:17Ooh, you feel the power of love.
00:14:21Yeah, you feel the power of love.
00:14:25You feel the power of love.
00:14:27You feel the power of love.
00:14:31You feel the power of love.
00:14:33You feel the power of love.
00:14:34Yes!
00:14:37The power of love, the Back to the Future soundtrack.
00:14:40You, Lewis and the News, wanted to bring the energy.
00:14:43I think it was mission accomplished.
00:14:44Thank you so much.
00:14:45Let's get to the judges on this one.
00:14:47Lionel?
00:14:47Did I detect this sexy, sexy Jake?
00:14:53And then, did you notice, judges, I've never seen you when you get the ugly face.
00:14:58That means you're seeing your heart out, man.
00:15:01I mean, honestly, that's what we're looking for.
00:15:04Thank you so much.
00:15:05Bring it.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:07Brad told me to make it look hard.
00:15:11Bring it.
00:15:12Every time we see you perform, your number one thing is you always look like you're in control of the
00:15:17moment, and you're comfortable, and it looks professional.
00:15:20We've seen you do more laid-back stuff, so it was really fun to see you branch out, do kind
00:15:26of some rock and roll, and that was the best example that I've seen you do that thus far.
00:15:31Great job.
00:15:32Thank you so much.
00:15:32I love how, just even at the beginning, like, everybody is kind of bringing different sides of themselves.
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:39Like, we know you have a great voice.
00:15:40You're such an old soul and all that, but you just looked like you were having fun.
00:15:44Paisley gave you some really great notes on the guitar.
00:15:47You had some Paisley moves going on in the best way.
00:15:50I'll take it.
00:15:51Thank you so much.
00:15:51It means a lot.
00:15:54I mean, it was fabulous.
00:15:55You could tell that you were so at home on stage.
00:15:58And that moment when you stopped playing, you really leaned in.
00:16:01It was great to see how you were connecting to the crowd.
00:16:03I mean, it felt like a party out here.
00:16:04You saw how all the girls were screaming.
00:16:07Thank you guys so much.
00:16:08I really appreciate it.
00:16:10You have the power to keep men running.

00:22:35It's Genevieve Hayward
00:22:39Aulani has been absolutely incredible
00:22:41Because we are here for a competition
00:22:44It does help
00:22:45When you're in those peak pressure moments
00:22:46To be able to look around
00:22:47And be like, okay
00:22:48Look at that palm tree
00:22:51That palm tree's chilling
00:22:52I'm gonna be chilling, you know
00:22:55I'm feeling pretty zenned out
00:22:56That feels good
00:22:57This was a much needed zen moment
00:23:04You're funny
00:23:08For this round, I'll be singing Pink Pony Club by Chaperone
00:23:11Pink Pony Club
00:23:13I'm gonna keep on dancing at the beach
00:23:16I was floored by Genevieve
00:23:18Yes
00:23:18She knows who she is already
00:23:23Sing it
00:23:24Pink Pony Club
00:23:26I'm gonna keep on dancing at the beach
00:23:29It's a real sort of rock and roll energy
00:23:31Oh
00:23:35All of this spontaneity
00:23:37Just like the whimsy
00:23:38When you were starting
00:23:39And you're laughing
00:23:39And just do it
00:23:40Just do it
00:23:41I'm not sure if there's like
00:23:42Something they can do in the beginning
00:23:44Before you get into the song
00:23:45But I almost wanted to meet you
00:23:46In the intro
00:23:47Yeah
00:23:48Before you get into the song
00:23:49Because I feel like that's you
00:23:51Like kind of bring the personality
00:23:52Like right out the gate
00:23:53Yes
00:23:53Kiki almost immediately
00:23:55Like saw me as a person
00:23:56She's like, you're a showman
00:23:58So we worked on kind of incorporating
00:24:00A little bit of that
00:24:00Kind of attitude to it
00:24:03American Idol
00:24:05It's Genevieve
00:24:05Are you all ready to go to the
00:24:07Pink Pony Club?
00:24:09Yes, we are
00:24:10I just hope that
00:24:11What I want to show
00:24:12Comes out the right way
00:24:13On that stage
00:24:13Pink Pony Club
00:24:15Pink Pony Club

00:24:28Yeah
00:24:29I know
00:24:30You want me to stay
00:24:32I can't ignore the crazy visions
00:24:35Of me in L.A.
00:24:38I heard
00:24:39That there's a special place
00:24:41Boys and girls
00:24:43Boys and girls can all be queens
00:24:45Every single day
00:24:46I'm having wicked dreams
00:24:49Of leaving Tennessee

00:26:39You are who you are, wherever you are.
00:26:41There you go.
00:26:43Singing that anthem, right?
00:26:45Singing that anthem.
00:26:46The spawning club.
00:26:47Judges, did you feel that anthem, Lionel?
00:26:49Did I feel it?
00:26:51Are you kidding me?
00:26:52It almost blew my wig off.
00:26:54What are you talking about?
00:26:55There's nothing more exciting when someone opens their mouths
00:26:59and it comes out clear, strong, powerful.
00:27:03It was amazing.
00:27:05I love what you did.
00:27:05Thank you, Lionel.
00:27:08I remember, like, early on when you were talking
00:27:11about what kind of artist you wanted to be,
00:27:13you're like, you wanted to occupy that pop rock space.
00:27:16And I love that you took this giant pop anthem
00:27:19and, like, toughened it up a little bit.
00:27:21I love the gloves, I love the outfit.
00:27:24The second you walk out on stage, it's like,
00:27:27what's this girl about to do?
00:27:28And it's fun, you were having fun with it.
00:27:31Thank you, Keri.
00:27:32Yeah, keep bringing the energy like that.
00:27:34I told Keri, kind of whispered to her, I'm like,
00:27:37every time you're on stage, my eyes are just able to find you.
00:27:40When you walk out, you're like.
00:27:42Not the boot.
00:27:43It's you.
00:27:44No, it's not the boots.
00:27:45My eyes go to you.
00:27:46And that's what stars have to have happen to be a star.
00:27:50I just loved how you commanded it.
00:27:52And you're having fun in the moment.
00:27:54Thank you so much.
00:27:55I love the way that you left the stage right out.
00:27:58Like, y'all, hey, we're here to have fun.
00:28:00I'm going to need some help with y'all on this one.
00:28:02You're so you on stage, you have such a unique vibe,
00:28:05you did excellent.

00:28:58and his tribute to the one and only Lionel Richie.
00:29:02Idol is back in just a few minutes.
00:29:04What?
00:29:04Whoa.
00:29:12Well, here we are.

00:29:30Here he is with Brad and Kiki.
00:29:36I've heard a little bit about what you do, but tell us.
00:29:38So you are?
00:29:39I'm a schoolteacher, elementary music schoolteacher.
00:29:42So how old are the students?
00:29:43They are ages 4 to 11.
00:29:45Before I left, I had a student tell me,
00:29:47good luck, Mr. Stallworth.
00:29:48Oh, man.
00:29:48You are going to make it, don't give up.
00:29:50Oh, my goodness.
00:29:52And that's my motto.
00:29:52Look at this little nose.
00:29:53That is very lovely.
00:29:54Like, the letter that his student left him,
00:29:56encouraging him on this.
00:29:57I have a soft spot in my heart for schoolteacher,
00:30:00my mother being one.
00:30:00And it's like, to see a teacher where, you know,
00:30:03there's a school watching.
00:30:05I'm missing the kids at school, for sure.
00:30:07But it's great to have some time to chase my dreams
00:30:09and just simply relax.
00:30:11I feel like a kid all over again.
00:30:14Well, my friends, the time has come.
00:30:16For this round, I'll be performing All Night Long
00:30:18by Lana Ritchie.
00:30:19That is bold.
00:30:20That's going for it.
00:30:22That is swinging from the fence.
00:30:23I chose that song because it's a party vibe.
00:30:25We're in Hawaii.
00:30:26I feel like that's the best song to fit the occasion.
00:30:29We're going to party, caramu, fiesta forever.
00:30:35It's a classic song.
00:30:36I don't know who doesn't love this song.
00:30:37I've never sung it live.
00:30:39Yeah.
00:30:39Well, I'm standing here in front of him.
00:30:40I'll just do it for the first time.
00:30:42All night long.
00:30:45It could be a tricky move doing All Night Long and Lionel.
00:30:48Yeah, that's the riskiest thing anybody's doing.
00:30:51Yeah.
00:30:52All night long.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:59Great voice.
00:31:00So this is like the first time I've heard an echo
00:31:02through here that somebody said.
00:31:04Are you going to acknowledge Lionel sitting there a little bit?
00:31:06Got to.
00:31:07You got to call Lionel out.
00:31:08I got to get him up.
00:31:08Oh, I'm out.
00:31:09I got to get him up.
00:31:09I like that Daniel's not being afraid to acknowledge Lionel.
00:31:12If you need me to help you get Lionel up dancing, I'm going to be like.
00:31:16Singing this song is definitely a risk, but I would love to honor Lionel Richie.
00:31:21I definitely want to do this song justice.
00:31:38Well, my friends, the time has come raise the roof and have some fun way to go throw away the
00:31:50work to be done.
00:31:53So y'all were.
00:31:55Let the music play on.
00:31:58She sang about caramble.
00:32:12She sang about caramble.
00:32:14She sang about caramble.
00:32:20All night, all night long
00:32:24Come on, man!
00:32:25All night, all night long

00:33:49He showed a different deal
00:33:53He showed a different deal
00:33:53I'm gonna give a compliment
00:33:55that I've never said before
00:33:57A lot of people will try to do that song
00:34:00You took the song and made it yours
00:34:03It was amazing
00:34:05Now
00:34:07I am telling you
00:34:09If you put that out tomorrow
00:34:11I'll spit it with you
00:34:12You got it?
00:34:16Lion, to that point
00:34:17You see people try and mimic you too much?
00:34:19Yeah, I mean, the problem is
00:34:20They try to sing it like I sing it
00:34:22Yeah, yeah
00:34:23He took it and just flipped it on his side
00:34:26And made it a totally new song
00:34:29And I'm telling you, it was so refreshing
00:34:31Thank you
00:34:33Daniel, it was so good
00:34:36I was sad it didn't last all night long
00:34:39I loved it
00:34:41And when we heard you do it yesterday
00:34:42The vocals were great
00:34:43And it was the vibe
00:34:44But seeing you with the band
00:34:45And the way that you were engaging with the audience
00:34:47I mean, you saw us dancing, man
00:34:48You brought it to life
00:34:49It was excellent
00:34:50Thank you
00:34:51Thank you
00:34:52Daniel, your voice is insane
00:34:55It is amazing how you did really put yourself into it
00:34:59And you weren't trying to copy
00:35:00You were trying to be you
00:35:01Exactly
00:35:02And I could see you starting to loosen up a little bit
00:35:05I want to encourage you to just loosen up even more
00:35:09Don't think about so much what you're doing
00:35:11Just have some fun with it
00:35:13Keep getting looser
00:35:15Thank you, thank you
00:35:16You even had Luke's sore joints moving over there
00:35:19I love it
00:35:20He can barely move
00:35:21But look at that
00:35:22Engage the core, engage the core
00:35:25But Mr. Serious
00:35:27That's what I'm gonna start calling you
00:35:28You are really, really serious about this
00:35:30But what that performance just showed me is
00:35:32You might be the best singer in this competition
00:35:36Luke!
00:35:38That's right
00:35:38And so
00:35:40Take that seriously
00:35:41But not too seriously
00:35:43Yes, sir
00:35:43A couple months ago
00:35:44You were teaching kids in a classroom
00:35:47And now

00:39:02You were destined to be a star
00:39:04Absolutely
00:39:04That was absolutely magical

00:40:27Kindle
00:40:31Having the industry people choose me. I'm just honored shows me that I'm supposed to be here
00:40:39This round I am seeing a Noah Kahn song called call your mom. Oh, yes, I
00:40:46I'm kind of struggling with whether I'm going to use the guitar or not use the guitar
00:40:50So you play I do play the guitar right, but I really want to be able to get into like
00:40:55a performance side for this performance
00:40:57I very much want to be open and vulnerable
00:41:00I really resonate with this song in the sense that
00:41:09I myself have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole entire life
00:41:14So we're late. I think we're all struggling. You know at different times with the little enemy
00:41:18I'll drive
00:41:20Oh
00:41:20I'll drive all night. I liked you without the guitar what you did standing there were so vulnerable
00:41:27How are you feeling you're somewhere still in between I'm gonna take your guys's advice. I'm gonna get on the
00:41:31stage
00:41:31I'm gonna know the guitar. I think that'll be I think that'll be really magic
00:41:35I'm just hoping that by the end of it. Yeah, those who may be questioning whether they should keep going
00:41:40or not do
00:41:50Oh
00:41:51You're spiraling again

00:43:58Hi, guys.
00:43:59They just extended their stay.
00:44:00Oh, my gosh.
00:44:00You stood there.
00:44:01Hi.
00:44:02So nice to see you.
00:44:04Let's go to the panel.
00:44:05Kiki, what'd you see?
00:44:07You look beautiful.
00:44:08You sound beautiful.
00:44:10The bob is bobbing.
00:44:11OK?
00:44:12And I'm so glad that you decided not to do the guitar,
00:44:15because to see those hands free and just watching you
00:44:18kind of embody the whole vibe of the song,
00:44:20we went right there with you.
00:44:21You transported us into your world.
00:44:23And I loved it there.
00:44:27The second you start singing, it is impossible to turn away.
00:44:33Wow.
00:44:33Like, it's impossible to take your eyes off of you.
00:44:37The way you just were free in all of it,
00:44:40putting your hands in the air.
00:44:42I'm not sure I breathed while you were singing.
00:44:44It was beautiful.
00:44:46Thank you so much.
00:44:47Wow.
00:44:48No matter what you sing, whether you write the song
00:44:52or it's someone else's, you present it
00:44:54like an artist presents it.
00:44:57That cry in your voice is just so intoxicating to listen to.
00:45:02And I'm with Carrie on that.
00:45:04I was just like hanging on every word.
00:45:06And you are an artist, a big time artist.
00:45:08Thank you, Lou.
00:45:09Thank you so much.
00:45:11The delivery was perfect.
00:45:13You just delivered the sermon, really, I'm telling you.
00:45:17It was one of those very powerful performances.
00:45:21I love it.
00:45:22Thank you so much.
00:45:23Thank you, guys.

00:45:40We'll see you later.
00:45:44Now, we've got more music on the way.
00:45:46And it's coming from Alabama's Cutter Bradley,
00:45:49right here at Disney's Alani Resort.
00:45:52The Cutter fans are out.
00:45:54Oh, my gosh.
00:45:56Oh, my God.
00:45:58My God.
00:45:58Kindle, you nailed it.
00:46:00You nailed it.
00:46:01I am so proud of you.
00:46:03You are a flipping star.
00:46:07You are a star.
00:46:08Yes, you are.
00:46:16Looking good.
00:46:17You're back on American Idol.
00:46:19It's our annual visit here to Alani at Disney Resort and Spa
00:46:22in Koalina, Hawaii.
00:46:24And the top 20 have been soaking up all there is to do
00:46:27and making memories along the way.
00:46:29Take a look at this, right?
00:46:34To be here after a 12-hour flight from New York,
00:46:37where it's currently snowing, it feels incredible.
00:46:43This is the first time I've ever been to Hawaii.
00:46:45The weather, obviously, is much nicer than it is in Missouri.
00:46:47There's about a foot of snow there.
00:46:49I feel like this is the most beautiful place on the planet.
00:46:52The vibes here have been relaxing.
00:46:56We're on the beach.
00:46:57We're in great weather.
00:46:58We're having fun.
00:46:58But also, we're here with 20 of my friends.
00:47:00Made a lot of memories with friends.
00:47:02We're having a blast.
00:47:04Paradise is an understatement.
00:47:10I still got to get in that lazy river.
00:47:12Got to get in on that.
00:47:13By the way, you want it?
00:47:14Are you down?
00:47:15I'm ready to go.
00:47:16I'm ready.
00:47:17Matching bathing suits, Lionel, you and me.
00:47:19Oh, no, no, no, what, what?
00:47:20Now, let's see how Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer helped
00:47:23Cutter Bradley on his epic Daughtry song pick.
00:47:26Here it is.
00:47:29This is the first long flight in good grief.
00:47:33Total hours was probably like 12.
00:47:35I've never been anywhere like this, especially not Hawaii.
00:47:39And it is way prettier than the pictures.
00:47:42The atmosphere is awesome.
00:47:43The people are great.
00:47:44We got Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and all of them.
00:47:47They're having a good time.
00:47:48It is Mickey.
00:47:49What's up, dude?
00:47:50I'm in the top 20 on American Idol.
00:47:52Can you believe that?
00:47:53I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
00:47:56I was blown away.
00:47:58What could I say?
00:48:00I'm singing It's Not Over by Daughtry.
00:48:02When I was real little, my dad got me a MP3 player.
00:48:05And he loaded that thing on with the music he listened to.
00:48:08You know, everything from Daughtry to old 70s rock and stuff.
00:48:12I really fell in love with Chris Daughtry and just how he performs and carries himself.
00:48:17Wow.
00:48:17Because, yeah, I guess when Daughtry was on American Idol, which he was like two years old.
00:48:21Yeah, I was three, actually.
00:48:23Definitely one of my biggest inspirations.
00:48:25And I would love to take the path he took.
00:48:27It's not over.
00:48:30So I'll be performing without a guitar, so I'm going to try to not be nervous this round.
00:48:35So you usually play guitar?
00:48:37I usually play guitar.
00:48:38Can we have the mic?
00:48:39Are you going to hold it?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:40Maybe you were just in it, so you're not thinking.
00:48:43Your hand was kind of here, and you were doing this.
00:48:45Oh, interesting.
00:48:45And it was just this, you know.
00:48:47So now you've got a mic, and this hand is free to enunciate.
00:48:52That's right.
00:48:52Whatever it is.
00:48:53Let's start over and try to do it right this time around.
00:48:59I just kept looking at that hand thinking, this is a guy who's not used to not doing this.
00:49:03And sure enough, that was true.
00:49:04Guys like me that play the guitar, when first time that you're like,
00:49:07you're going to just sing this this evening with a microphone.
00:49:09It's like, what do I do with my hands?
00:49:12I look ridiculous if I don't really figure out what I'm going to do.
00:49:16As long as he can do that, I think he's going to be fine, because the voice is there.
00:49:21You're going to be great, man.
00:49:52We'll blow it away, we'll blow it away, we'll blow it away, we'll make this something good.
00:50:01But when I try to do it right this time around, it's not over.
00:50:08Try to do it right this time around, it's not over.
00:50:28Let it out.
00:50:31Let it out.
00:50:33Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:35Let it out.
00:50:38Let it out.
00:50:39Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:42Let it out.
00:50:44Let it out.
00:50:46Don't get caught up in yourself.
00:50:48Let it end
00:50:55It's not over
00:50:57Try to do it right this time around
00:51:01It's not over
00:51:04There's a part of me standing in the ground
00:51:08This love is killing me
00:51:13But you're the only one
00:51:15It's not over
00:51:28There he is!
00:51:30Well done! Flashback Daughtry!
00:51:34Man, spending time with him, seeing you do that so many years later.
00:51:38Your dad headbanging down there in the audience.
00:51:41He was singing along as well.
00:51:42Yeah, he was.
00:51:43He was like listening in stereo there.
00:51:46Judges, what'd you think? Lionel Richie?
00:51:48Well, I'll tell you what I was listening to. Carrie didn't miss not one note.
00:51:52Not one lyric, okay? And between that and your dad headbanging, what the heck is going on around here?
00:52:00You were familiar with that. I got right away that that was in your wheelhouse. You were very, very in
00:52:07pocket. And it showed, it showed really great. Thank you.
00:52:11I agree with Lionel. It was just so good to see you lose yourself on stage. Like seeing you perform
00:52:16it yesterday, it was great. We had the vibe. But with the band and the element going, I can see
00:52:21you just embodying it. And this is definitely your lane, for sure.
00:52:23Boom!
00:52:24Thank you so much.
00:52:25Your lane is, that's the perfect way to put it. I feel like it was such a smart song choice
00:52:30for you. You know, you're Cutter Bradley. You're like our country kind of rock guy. And I feel like that
00:52:36song just like fit perfectly.
00:52:38I encourage you to just keep getting comfortable. Keep entertaining. You're exactly where you're supposed to be doing what you're
00:52:45supposed to be doing.
00:52:48Remember to breathe, Cutter. Remember to breathe. There was a couple times I was like, the boy's running out of
00:52:54air. But I tell you what's really endearing about you is you are that guy that's going to relate to
00:53:01all the dudes.
00:53:03And, you know, we're throwing a lot of different stuff at you. Keep trusting your gut with the songs that
00:53:08you know and want to perform. And you're getting better and better with every performance. A lot of energy on
00:53:14that one. And be very proud of it. I love it. It's a good job.
00:53:17Thank you so much. Thank y'all.
00:53:20So cool comment collected. So growing up, you and dad would listen to that in the car?
00:53:25Oh, yeah. Me and dad would be bumping that all the way down the road. Anywhere we're going, we're bumping
00:53:29it.
00:53:29Was he driving and shaking his head? Oh, yeah. Sometimes, you know, we got a little, you know.
00:53:35Well, you're all here safe and sound. Well done. Cutter Bradley, everybody.

00:53:59All right, now, let's take a quick break.
00:54:02And Long Island's Jesse Fiendling is coming out.
00:54:05He's in the wings right now.
00:54:06Warming up. He hits the stage here on American Idol right after this.
00:54:10Oh, just like old days.

00:54:48We're going to keep things rolling right now.
00:54:50Here is the lesson Brad and Kiki Hadford college student, Jesse Fiendling.
00:54:58Aloha de Komomahi de Aulani ku'u home.
00:55:04Welcome to Aulani, everybody. Right this way.
00:55:08My family is my biggest support system.
00:55:10Being able to, like, have that moment to be with them and do something fun, like the treasure hunt experience,
00:55:15was really special to me.
00:55:16Looks like me in the morning.
00:55:18My mom and dad went on their honeymoon here.
00:55:20They've always said that they were going to come back someday.
00:55:23And for me to be the reason why they are, you know, it makes my heart happy.
00:55:27Nice to meet you.
00:55:29Being in the top 20 is surreal.
00:55:33I've never really stood in front of a mic and performed in front of, like, a whole crowd.
00:55:36But I'm really pushing myself this time to come out of my comfort zone.
00:55:40Just knowing that America is going to be voting, that's another thing that I have to think about.
00:55:45Which is why I chose this round to not just be by the mic stand and move around.
00:55:49Lost and insecure.
00:55:52I'm singing You Found Me by The Fray.
00:55:55It's about being lost and insecure, a song that I connect to.
00:55:59You found me.
00:56:04When I was little, having a stutter made me introverted.
00:56:08There's been times where I felt lost.
00:56:11I was more of a shy kid and kind of anxious.
00:56:13I've always said, I don't know if it's just being in Hawaii.
00:56:15Sure.
00:56:15It was a lot more gritty than it has been in the past.
00:56:18I don't think you're made or broken by anything being exactly right.
00:56:23Be a little imperfect in a good way.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life with each round.
00:56:30I've gotten so much more confident in myself.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:33And it's like going to the-
00:56:35Come on, Liv!
00:56:36Yes!
00:56:38I think have fun out there and you're going to nail this.
00:56:40I think it's ironic that I'm singing a song about being lost and insecure in a moment where I feel
00:56:45like found and like the best I ever have.
00:56:48Yeah, I'm proud of myself.
00:56:58I found God on the corner of Thirst and Amistad where the West was all but one.
00:57:10Where were you when everything was falling apart?
00:57:18All my days were spent by a telephone that never rang and all I needed was a call that never
00:57:32came to the corner of Thirst and Amistad.
00:57:38I'm lost and insecure.
00:57:42You found me.
00:57:44You found me.
00:57:46You found me.
00:57:46Lying on the floor.
00:57:49Surrounded.
00:57:51Surrounded.
00:57:52Why do you have to wait?
00:57:56You found me.
00:57:57You found me.
00:57:59You found me!
00:58:00I mean,What?
00:58:05earthy morning, the city breaks, I've been falling for years and years and years and years and years.
00:58:16You've never left me no message.
00:58:19You've never sent me no letters, You got some kind of nerve, takin' all I for.
00:58:29I'm lost and insecure
00:58:36You found me, you found me
00:58:41Lying on the floor
00:58:43Where were you?
00:58:48Oh, you found me
00:58:55Why'd you have to wait?
00:59:01If you found me
00:59:19I think we can just go to the voting right now after something like that, the chanting.
00:59:27Take a look at four judges on their feet.
00:59:31In the beginning, those first couple of notes,
00:59:33I said, now, what's going on?
00:59:34You know, I wasn't sure what we were headed.
00:59:36But obviously, we all feel a little nerves,
00:59:38and you've been singing, you've been rehearsing.
00:59:40But I saw you find it.
00:59:41As soon as you grabbed that mic, and you came forward,
00:59:44and you lost yourself in the song,
00:59:46everything after that was perfection.
00:59:48And you closed it in very strong.
00:59:50And that long note, I'm just saying.
00:59:54Why I got the mic in my hand?
00:59:55Why you got the mic in your hand?
00:59:56Appreciate it.
00:59:58I, for one, kind of love that the beginning was a little shaky,
01:00:02because you've been so polished and perfect this whole time.
01:00:07It kind of reminded us all that you're human.
01:00:10And the way that you, like, shook it off and sunk into the song,
01:00:14I mean, that's the most, you know, movement we've seen from you.
01:00:18And it was working.
01:00:20It was wonderful.
01:00:22And the end was just absolutely soaring.
01:00:26Thank you so much.
01:00:27Thank you so much.
01:00:56I was praying the whole time, grab the mic, take it out of the stand, command the stage,
01:01:03take charge, and you did it.
01:01:06Thanks, Lana.
01:01:08I mean, that's how you get the crowd to go right to you.
01:01:13That was fantastic.
01:01:14Thanks, Lana.
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:16And you sing now for your mom.
01:01:18That's one of her favorite songs.
01:01:19My mom loves the phrase.
01:01:20She's right over there.
01:01:21One of her favorite songs.
01:01:22So I'm glad I got to sing that for her and for my family.
01:01:25Jesse Finling, everyone.

01:01:49Get ready for Hannah Harper.
01:01:51She's sitting at the Idol stage next here at Disney's Lani Resort.
01:01:55Stay with us.
01:01:56Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, Jesse.
01:02:06Welcome back to the ever-magical Disney's Lani Resort for our very first voting show of the season.
01:02:12We're so excited to have Brad Paisley and Kiki Palmer teamed up to mentor the top 20.
01:02:16Here's what unfolded with Missouri's Hannah Harper.
01:02:21I think it'll be surreal to be up on the stage and see my kids.
01:02:25All of it feels like a dream to be able to share this with them.
01:02:28Everyone's so happy to be here.
01:02:30They got their hair a whole bunch of different colors, and it was all crazy and fun.
01:02:33I love it.
01:02:34They got tatted up.
01:02:35Oh, my gosh.
01:02:36And had a meet and greet with Mickey.
01:02:38It was a sweet experience.
01:02:39I'm just soaking it all in.
01:02:43Hey, Hannah.
01:02:44Hey, Hannah.
01:02:44What's up, girl?
01:02:45Ohana round was incredible.
01:02:47It was really exciting, but also terrifying.
01:02:49I would have loved to have seen you throw your hands up there and just let it out.
01:02:53I'm not used to not having my guitar in my hands.
01:02:55Get in the habit of opening up.
01:02:57This time, I wanted to do the same thing from the last round and put the guitar down.
01:03:01I'm having a hard time, like, getting out of my body.
01:03:03And especially bluegrass.
01:03:04You stand in one spot, you do your thing, and then you walk off stage.
01:03:06Yeah, of course.
01:03:07So you're kind of challenging yourself.
01:03:08I love to hear that.
01:03:09I'm scared, y'all.
01:03:10Don't be.
01:03:11Don't be scared.
01:03:12To be more comfortable in my body.
01:03:13That's my goal for the next round.
01:03:15Oh, fear is a tyrant with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:03:20Your voice is everything I love about this style of music.
01:03:25Instead of maybe thinking to yourself about, I got to move around the stage, more so think
01:03:28about, I got to get the folks engaged.
01:03:30Midway through mentoring, my kids stepped in.
01:03:33Getting to have that moment with my family just to breathe for a second calms all your
01:03:36anxiety, you know?
01:03:38Captives free, there ain't no grace.
01:03:42It was beautiful to just see how she came alive.
01:03:45She grew up in a family band.
01:03:46It makes sense why that opened her up a little bit more.
01:03:48Could hold his body down.
01:03:52She's definitely seasoned, but I think she's feeling like, how do I do what I do on a show
01:03:57like this?
01:03:58Look for your family in the audience.
01:03:59Capture the feeling that you have when they're up there with you.
01:04:02Look at them, I'll cry.
01:04:03But ain't nothing wrong with crying.
01:04:05The entire journey through all of this, I'm having to just constantly peel layers off.
01:04:10I hope that I'm showing my boys that no matter how old they are, be open to learning and
01:04:15to just be resilient.
01:04:25Oh, fear is a tide with a smooth and velvet tongue.
01:04:32Fear is a lie, he's always telling me to run.
01:04:37Oh, love is a resurrection.
01:04:40Love is a trumpet sound.
01:04:43Love is my weapon.
01:04:46I'm gonna take that giant down.
01:04:54Oh, there was a battle, a war between death and life.
01:05:00And there on the tree, the Lamb of God was crucified.
01:05:06Then he went on down to hell, took back every key.
01:05:12He rose up as a lion, and he set all captives free.
01:05:17There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:26Oh, no, there ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:44There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:47Yeah, hold him down.
01:05:48There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:05:56There ain't no pain to hold his body down.
01:06:15Yeah!
01:06:22It's over. You did it.
01:06:24Felt good? Felt good.
01:06:26She delivered. See, here's the whole point.
01:06:28See, when you can actually be the storyteller, and then sometimes in the middle of that performance, you went from
01:06:35singing to preaching.
01:06:36Yes, sir.
01:06:37I mean, what I'm saying to you is, at that point, when you see everybody going,
01:06:43Okay, that means we're listening. And you got our attention. You did a great job.
01:06:47Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
01:06:49First of all, everybody performs different. I think that's the big part of this competition, right?
01:06:53It's like not doing what you think you should do, really embodying what you bring to the stage.
01:06:58And that's what you did. You don't have to do what nobody do, because when you start singing, girl, and
01:07:03you was pointing, you was commanding to us, we were locked in.
01:07:06It was excellent. Thank you so much.
01:07:08It was very moving. Very moving.
01:07:10I think you started a new genre, resurrection rock.
01:07:15Okay, I'm here for it.
01:07:17I love the whole performance. I think your voice is so listenable. It's so easy on the ears. And then
01:07:24finally, we see you get a little more power behind that voice. So you're showing me you're ready to branch
01:07:30out and grow. Definitely my favorite performance I've seen you do.
01:07:33Wow. Thank you. I appreciate it. Great song choice. Your voice gave me chills the entire time. We got a
01:07:42glimpse of like a fire that is in you. Yeah.
01:07:46But I feel like the more you go through this whole process, I hope to see more of. You remind
01:07:54me a lot of myself when I was on the show. Wow.
01:07:57When I would be on stage, I'd be like, I'd look out, I'd be like, what are you doing out
01:08:02there, Hand? Like, what's going on? Why are you pointing? And all of a sudden, it's like things would kind
01:08:07of start falling apart, because I would start thinking about what I was doing. Try not to. Just tell the
01:08:12story.
01:08:13There you go. And don't worry about what any of this is doing, because I feel like we got some
01:08:16glimpses of that. And it's awesome. So keep at it.
01:08:20Very good. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Very good.

01:08:42We have got some more amazing performances on the horizon from all your idol standouts, including Brandon Rumpfeld. He's got
01:08:50love on the brain for you right after this.
01:08:58Welcome back to the show. Tonight's 10 finalists have been leaving it all on the stage for you in the
01:09:04hopes of earning your votes at home.
01:09:06Keep them rolling in for who you want to see in your top 14. Perhaps it's Murphy, North Carolina's Braden
01:09:12Rumpfeld, maybe?
01:09:16Been singing a long time? Since I was able to speak. Yeah. Professionally or just in church? My dad's a
01:09:20pastor.
01:09:21My dad's a deacon. Look at us. We turned out all right. Right. Little PKs. Yeah, right.
01:09:25I'll be singing Love on the Brain this round by Rihanna. My girlfriend suggested that I do this song.
01:09:31And you got me like, oh, what you want from me?
01:09:40Brayden, Brayden, Brayden. Yeah, man. He blew me away. I mean...
01:09:45Baby, you got me like, oh...
01:09:50That's maybe my favorite thing about this show is the person that walks out and you just go, wait a
01:09:56minute. No way that's happening.
01:09:58I don't really know what to do on stage. Like, I'll move around and stuff, but it's just kind of
01:10:02stuff that I've seen on the internet.
01:10:03You don't have to worry about anything you're doing. No, you don't. Just stay right there and do that.
01:10:10Like, just do that. This is my first time in Hawaii, and it's also my family's first time. It's awesome.
01:10:19My Ohana song, me and my brother play together. I mean, he's right there with me through everything.
01:10:23You know, you're my ride or die, like, safety net, because if I mess up, like, you're right there.
01:10:28Seeing you do what you've always wanted to do, sharing that experience, there's not a better film.
01:10:33Now I think it's time for me to push myself and chase this dream on my own.
01:10:38That smooth fire. I want to make it as far in this competition as I can. I'm going to try
01:10:45and win it.
01:10:51And you got me like, oh, what you want from me. What you want from me. And I tried to
01:11:02buy your pretty heart, but the price was too high.
01:11:06Baby, you got me like, oh, you love when I fall apart. So you can put me together and throw
01:11:20me against the wall.
01:11:24And baby, I fish fight with fire just to get close. Can we burn something, baby? And I'll run for
01:11:35miles just to get a taste.
01:11:51And I'll run for miles just to get a taste. And I'll run for miles, and I'll run for miles
01:12:08just to get a taste.
01:12:08And I can't get enough
01:12:11You got me like I
01:12:16I
01:12:20Don't you stop loving me
01:12:22Don't quit loving me
01:12:24Don't you start loving me
01:12:26Must be love
01:12:32Must be love
01:12:36Don't stop loving me
01:12:38Don't quit loving me
01:12:40Oh, I can't get enough
01:12:44Must be love
01:12:48Hold on
01:12:50Lady
01:13:03Well done, well done
01:13:08From the first notes
01:13:10It was like
01:13:11Just
01:13:13Immediately
01:13:13What's that word again?
01:13:15Just
01:13:15You just have an incredible voice
01:13:20And you have like this aw shucks thing about you
01:13:22That just makes people just like you
01:13:25And you're so stinking good
01:13:27You guys
01:13:29We did a really good job
01:13:30Picking the top 20
01:13:32Right?
01:13:32Steve, come on
01:13:33That's right
01:13:34Right?
01:13:34Come on
01:13:37Yeah, that was the thing
01:13:38I mean, when you start singing
01:13:39You're like, whoa
01:13:40What is that?
01:13:41And now I think we just got to get you to build on it
01:13:44And build on it
01:13:45And get some swagger
01:13:46And even more and more confidence
01:13:48The best way to know what you're doing
01:13:50Is look at the girls
01:13:51And Kiki was about to fall out of her chair
01:13:54She had ants in her pants
01:13:56Come on
01:13:56That's kind of important in the music business
01:13:59Right, Lionel?
01:14:00That's absolutely
01:14:02Understand, man
01:14:04You've got this instrument
01:14:05And use it to your advantage
01:14:07And work the room
01:14:08And just keep delivering
01:14:10From the time the song starts
01:14:11Till it ends
01:14:12Just slay, slay, slay
01:14:14Slay
01:14:15I have never
01:14:17In my eight and a half years

01:16:41Fitting in
01:16:42I grew up
01:16:42Keeping everything in
01:16:43And I never told anyone
01:16:45Anything
01:16:46I was never vulnerable
01:16:47So this whole song
01:16:49Is just going to be me

01:16:59Being here
01:16:59I feel like I was
01:17:00Invited into something
01:17:02I'm not alone anymore
01:17:03I've made so many
01:17:04Good friends here
01:17:05It's really just beautiful
01:17:09Brooke's song choice
01:17:10Was difficult
01:17:13I do want to look
01:17:14At the first line
01:17:15Of each chorus
01:17:16There was a really
01:17:16High note in there
01:17:17Yeah, it's imperative
01:17:18That he doesn't
01:17:19Miss that tonight
01:17:21I do think
01:17:22That could derail him
01:17:23When you're doing it
01:17:24What do you think
01:17:25It's missing?
01:17:26Are you missing air?
01:17:27I think confidence
01:17:28I think it's just confidence
01:17:29Yeah
01:17:30Confidence
01:17:31Is about doing
01:17:32What's true to us
01:17:33If you need to adjust
01:17:35Adjust
01:17:35It's your range
01:17:36I think we're seeing
01:17:38A lot of times
01:17:38Especially in the competition
01:17:39We get caught up in
01:17:40Oh, I gotta hit the big note
01:17:42I gotta do the thing
01:17:43You just gotta do
01:17:43What you do well
01:17:44And what you have
01:17:45Is a winning voice
01:17:47Your character
01:17:48Your tone
01:17:49You know what I mean
01:17:50And as long as you're hitting
01:17:51Each thing with confidence
01:17:52For you
01:17:53Man, you got it in a bag
01:18:00Somebody said
01:18:02I've got a new friend
01:18:08Does she love you
01:18:10Better than I can
01:18:16It's a big black sky
01:18:18Over my town
01:18:24I know you're right
01:18:26I bet she's around
01:18:33Yeah, I know
01:18:35It's stupid
01:18:36But I just gotta see it
01:18:39For myself
01:18:41I'm in the corner
01:18:43Watching you kiss her
01:18:45Oh
01:18:49And I'm right over here
01:18:51Why can't you see me
01:18:54Oh
01:18:57I'm giving it miles
01:19:00I'm not the guy you're taking home
01:19:04Ooh
01:19:05I keep dancing on my own
01:19:10And oh, now
01:19:14So far away
01:19:16Still so near
01:19:18The lights come on
01:19:20The music dies
01:19:22But you don't see me
01:19:25Standing here
01:19:26I just came
01:19:28To say goodbye
01:19:30I'm in the corner
01:19:33Watching you kiss her
01:19:35Oh
01:19:36Oh
01:19:38I'm giving it miles
01:19:41I'm not the guy you're taking home
01:19:45Ooh
01:19:46I keep dancing on my own
01:19:52And oh, now
01:19:55So far away
01:19:57Still so near
01:20:00The lights come on
01:20:02The music dies

01:20:51You know
