00:10:01I'm a single mom.
00:10:03My son is the reason why I gotta keep going.
00:10:05Hi, Mr. Luke.
00:10:06One of my favorite moments I've ever had on this show.
00:10:08That was the greatest performance I have ever seen on this stage.
00:10:13She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:21She's the best mom in the world.
00:10:25I'll never be more loved than I am right now.
00:10:30I wasn't holding you up.
00:10:32So there's nothing I can do to let you down.
00:10:37It doesn't take a trophy to make you proud.
00:10:44And I'll never be more loved than I am right now.
00:10:48Hey, you are enough.
00:10:54Hey, everybody say, you are enough.
00:11:01I will be content in every circumstance.
00:11:08Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:22How much more would he love you?
00:11:25How much more would he love you?
00:11:29And if he watches over every sparrow, how much more would he love you?
00:11:38How much more would he love you?
00:11:41And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:11:47You are enough, I'm free.
00:11:47Whether that's human that you need.
00:11:50Freedom that you need.
00:11:52You are enough.
00:11:54And I will be content in every circumstance.
00:12:00Every circumstance.
00:12:01And we say, Jaira, you are enough.
00:12:26So here's the situation.
00:12:30You have that star look, that star sound, and more importantly, that star strut.
00:12:41You are walking that walk, singing that song.
00:12:45I just love your stage presence, and your presentation was so wonderful.
00:12:50Loved it. Loved it.
00:12:53What a way to kick off the show.
00:12:56I mean, you kind of put us right there in the mind frame of, you know, being grateful
00:13:03and just the beautiful things that come out of your mouth.
00:13:08Just amazing.
00:13:08And for the record, I feel like you just look so gorgeous and sophisticated, and you're just lovely.
00:13:15Oh, my gosh.
00:13:19I mean, you've kind of touched me in a lot of ways since your audition
00:13:24and just watching your growth from there to now and watching you come out here
00:13:28and really command the room and the stage.
00:13:31And, I mean, you're spinning around, and you're just making this your moment.
00:13:35And I love that.
00:13:37Way to kick off the night.
00:13:38Great job.
00:13:41Well, you did it.
00:13:42You kicked off the night, just like Luke said.
00:13:44Your boy Drew was having a good time watching that performance.
00:13:46We saw him on TV.
00:13:47And I noticed in rehearsal that you were getting emotional singing that song.
00:13:51What were you feeling at the beginning of the day?
00:13:54I'm just feeling, you know, I'm just grateful.
00:13:56Grateful to be here and grateful to God just to be on this platform and to share my group with
00:14:00the world.
00:14:02If you love Keela, you can vote for her right now on social media or via text.
00:14:07You can also head to American Idol.com to vote.

00:14:30Next on a Rascal Flatts Grammy-winning song, it's Jesse Finley.
00:14:36You haven't noticed I have a stutter.
00:14:39Singing has always felt freeing for me because when I sing, I don't stutter.
00:14:42I love this show because we get to meet kids like you.
00:14:45American Idol has been one of the best journeys of my life.
00:14:49I've got so much more confident in myself.
00:14:54I hit out on a narrow way many years ago.
00:15:02Hoping I would find true love along the broken road.
00:15:09But I got lost a time or two
00:15:14I wiped my brow and kept pushing through
00:15:18I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
00:15:25And every long lost dream led me to where you are
00:15:35Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
00:15:42Pointed me on my way into your loving arms
00:15:50This much I know is true
00:15:56That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
00:16:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:16:13I'm still rolling home into my brother's arms
00:16:24This much I know is true
00:16:29God blessed the broken road
00:16:33God blessed the broken road
00:16:38God blessed the broken road
00:16:42That led me straight to you
00:16:49Thank you
00:17:07That was great, Jesse
00:17:09They made us wait for you
00:17:10I was like holding my breath for lots of people
00:17:13Me too
00:17:13But I bet you feel better now that that's over
00:17:16I mean, that song is such a singable, beautiful song
00:17:20I know somebody else who sang it a couple decades ago on the show
00:17:23But when people say you made it your own
00:17:26I mean, you really did make that your own
00:17:27I love the arrangement
00:17:28I love what you did with it
00:17:30You made that song suit your voice
00:17:32And you did it really fantastically
00:17:34Thank you so much, Kerry
00:17:35Thank you, guys
00:17:39Yeah, listen, I love everything you're doing
00:17:41Your voice is very controlled and very perfect
00:17:44But then, listen, keep pushing, too
00:17:46And dig more and more
00:17:48Because we're getting into the serious part of the competition
00:17:50I love the
00:17:51I totally echo what Kerry just said
00:17:54Just dig, dig, dig
00:17:56And so glad to see you in this spot
00:17:58Thank you, Luke
00:17:59Great job on that
00:18:01Thank you so much, guys
00:18:03Honestly, honestly, it's ditto, ditto, ditto
00:18:07I mean, there's a purity about your voice
00:18:09And a sincerity about your voice
00:18:11That just comes right through first note
00:18:14Just remember, I like Luke now
00:18:16Remember, it's down to 14
00:18:18Give it to us
00:18:19Yes
00:18:19All right
00:18:22Good job, buddy
00:18:23Nice to see you this evening
00:18:24She did
00:18:26She sang that a couple times, I think, in her season
00:18:28Kerry Underwood
00:18:29Did you watch those performances?
00:18:30Yes, definitely inspired me
00:18:31She did a great job
00:18:32And to be able to sing it on the stage in front of her was
00:18:34It did it head on
00:18:35Very special
00:18:36And it was symbolic, that song, right?
00:18:38Yes
00:18:38Yeah, it's just a beautiful song
00:18:39I love, like, the line
00:18:40God bless the broken road
00:18:42That led me straight to you
00:18:44And I feel like that's a lyric in the song
00:18:46That everybody can feel
00:18:48And God leads us to the right people in life
00:18:49Whether that's friends or family
00:18:51And I just love that message that the song brings
00:18:54Yeah
00:18:58May that lead you to the vote

00:28:36But I know there's going to be some
00:28:42Don't give up now
00:28:44You've come to hell
00:28:46You're going to be a fire thing
00:28:48Come on, I said there's going to be a fire thing
00:28:52Do you believe it now?
00:28:53I said there's going to be some fire
00:29:00Day
00:29:06Oh, boy, yeah
00:29:09Good job
00:29:28Now let me tell you what you've just done
00:29:31You see, automatically
00:29:32I never thought I would have to share all night long
00:29:36Now people stop me on the street and go
00:29:38I saw your man with all night long
00:29:40You see, now you're Mr. All Night Long
00:29:43Well, what I love is you have the ability to tell a story
00:29:46And then move the crowd
00:29:49And what you did there was a great, great performance
00:29:53Thank you, sir
00:29:54Thank you
00:29:56I love that I feel like you're so serious
00:30:00Like all the time
00:30:01And then kind of as soon as the music gets going
00:30:04Then you're like, okay, here's fun, Daniel
00:30:05And then the music stops again
00:30:07And you're like, very serious again
00:30:09But I do feel like
00:30:10I feel like we're watching you kind of just get into
00:30:13A more comfortable, fun space
00:30:16Like I love that you picked kind of a more up-tempo, groovy song
00:30:19Because this would be the chance for a lot of people to do like big, slow songs
00:30:23And you kind of went a different direction
00:30:25I think that's going to differentiate you tonight a little bit
00:30:27Very good
00:30:27Thank you
00:30:28Thank you
00:30:32Yeah, have fun with all this
00:30:35I mean, grow, grow, grow and expand and try new things
00:30:38And that's what you did with All Night Long
00:30:40Because we hadn't seen you do that yet
00:30:42And then, like I said, this got you moving
00:30:44You were out here with us
00:30:46You walked by
00:30:47I think I kissed you on the cheek on the way back
00:30:50So you got me in the spirit
00:30:52So, but just keep growing, keep growing
00:30:55Thank you, thank you
00:30:58It was actually a high-five with a knee-up
00:31:02Kind of thing you did right there
00:31:03Yeah, it was a nice move
00:31:04Flexibility at his best
00:31:05So are you a serious guy?
00:31:07Are you a fun guy?
00:31:08What kind of guy are you?
00:31:09Well, I'm a school teacher
00:31:10And so I have to be serious
00:31:11Oh, that'll do it
00:31:12But what's the real you?
00:31:13Come on, cut up a little bit
00:31:14To be honest, I really don't have any sense
00:31:17For real
00:31:18So I can get really
00:31:19I can have a lot of fun
00:31:20So, yes, I'm going to open up a lot more
00:31:22There you go
00:31:23Given the opportunity

00:36:56No more can I do
00:37:02But then I go on again

00:45:03This is my dream
00:45:12Yeah, I don't always feel it
00:45:17Yeah, but that's when I need it the most
00:45:21So I'ma keep on singing
00:45:26Till my soul catches up with my soul
00:45:30And there's times when my hands go up freely
00:45:35And times at a cost
00:45:38And there's days when a praise comes out easy
00:45:45And days when it takes all the strength I've got
00:45:49So I'll bring my heart from heart fell
00:45:53Into hell
00:45:55Hallelujah
00:45:58And I'll bring my strong thoughts
00:46:02Torn sale

00:46:13Faith for whatever I'm feeling and facing
00:46:17So I'll bring my heart from heart fell
00:46:22It is well
00:46:23Hallelujah

00:46:34Hallelujah

00:51:24Welcome back
00:51:36When you try your best
00:51:38But you don't succeed
00:51:42When you get what you want
00:51:45But not what you need
00:51:49When you feel so tired
00:51:51But you can't see
00:51:55Stuck in reverse
00:52:02When tears come streaming
00:52:05Down your face
00:52:08When you lose something
00:52:11You can't replace
00:52:15Oh, when you love someone

00:52:50Tears stream down your face

00:53:23Lights will guide you home
00:53:23And ignite your bones
00:53:30And I will try to fix you
00:53:50Yeah, really well done
00:53:52I still feel like you have so much star potential
00:53:56And star quality
00:53:57And that gave me all of those vibes
00:53:59Thank you so much
00:54:01Just you and your guitar
00:54:02Great song choice
00:54:03Loved it
00:54:04Thank you
00:54:05What I'm loving most about
00:54:08It's number one
00:54:09In everybody's category
00:54:11What's happening now
00:54:12Is everybody's carving out
00:54:14Their own lane
00:54:15And that was your lane
00:54:16Clearly
00:54:17Now what I want you to do
00:54:18On that
00:54:19Is build on it
00:54:21You've got your section
00:54:23But this group right here
00:54:25This 14
00:54:25Is a rough group here, babes
00:54:27And so what I want you to understand
00:54:29Is carve out your part
00:54:32That's memorable
00:54:33To the listeners out there
00:54:35Yes, sir
00:54:36Thank you, Lionel
00:54:37Thank you
00:54:38Yeah, I'll second Lionel
00:54:40On this one
00:54:41I feel like you are on your way
00:54:43To really establishing
00:54:44Like your own sound
00:54:45You have a really great way
00:54:48Of taking somebody else's song
00:54:50And I mean
00:54:51We first heard you sing
00:54:52In your own stuff
00:54:53But now we're kind of
00:54:54Hearing you sing some covers
00:54:55But you're really good
00:54:56At taking those songs
00:54:57And putting yourself in them
00:54:59You're not trying to sound
00:54:59Like the other artists
00:55:00Which is just really refreshing
00:55:02Thank you so much, Karen
00:55:05Good to see you, buddy

00:55:13Diamondbacks game

00:55:17They always do
00:55:18By the way
00:55:20They were over there
00:55:21And they were swaying

00:56:28Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:56:34Oh, precious is the flow
00:56:41That makes me white as snow
00:56:48No, no other fountain
00:56:53No, nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:56:58Come on
00:56:59Come on
00:57:01For thy heart in this I see
00:57:05Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:11Not them
00:57:12For thy cleansing this I plead
00:57:19Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:25Oh, precious is the flow
00:57:31That makes me wide as snow
00:57:37Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:57:43Nothing but the blood of Jesus
00:57:51Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:15I have to tell you that the most enjoyable part is watching you just almost try not to implode.
00:58:23You are so contained. I said, for God's sakes, let it out. Let it go.
00:58:28You were holding yourself and holding yourself, and I said, let it go.
00:58:32My goodness. It is a testament to what you're doing.
00:58:38I want you to understand now, the competition is, I can't say it enough to everyone.
00:58:42I'm just saying, if you get it through, bring me more of that, okay?
00:58:48Bring me more of that.
00:58:50You are such an artist, and I do not, for the life of me, know how you are not, like,
00:58:58super-duper famous already.
00:59:02Actually, I do know, because that's how the Lord works, and you're here for this time right now.
00:59:09That was incredible. You are such an artist. You are so professional, and, like, I don't know.
00:59:17I'm just in awe watching you. It's amazing.
00:59:23I mean, I always had you, like, as someone that's kind of timid, and we see you.
00:59:29You're not timid after that performance.
00:59:31I was really happy to see the song flow through your body and your soul and your voice,
00:59:38and you just let it all happen and just keep doing that.
00:59:42And I think you're doing that just because, yeah, you've got these artist qualities that are just pouring out of
00:59:49you,
00:59:49and we just saw that happen.
00:59:50Wow, thank you.
00:59:53Hello, everyone.
00:59:54So I've noticed that you like to sing in your bare feet.
01:00:00We've got the dogs out today.
01:00:02Yeah, your dogs are...
01:00:03I mean, we're not going to show the world. They're hidden under the dress.
01:00:06All right, well, use mine as an example, then.
01:00:08I didn't even see that.
01:00:10What are you supposed to...
01:00:11Cover Ron's with the dress, also.
01:00:13There you go. That's it.
01:00:14What are you supposed to feel? Why do you like doing this?
01:00:17It's grounding.
01:00:19It's grounding.
01:00:19Yeah, I like to...
01:00:20I'm taking over the territory.
01:00:22You know what I mean?
01:00:23All right, let's go.
01:00:25I feel like I've lost two inches.
01:00:27I feel like the size of a Keebler elf right now.
01:00:29You can vote for Kindle and all your favorites five different ways.

01:00:53I like those moves.
01:00:54Those moves.
01:00:54Yeah, those moves.
01:00:55You want to take those on tour, do you?
01:00:57I'm all good.
01:00:58I'm all good.
01:00:58Yeah, okay.
01:00:59More inspired songs on the way, like I can only imagine, from George and McCullough.
01:01:05And imagine, from Brooks, you're next, after this, on American Idol.
01:01:22Thanks for tuning in live, wherever you are, and on Disney+.
01:01:27We hope you're loving our Songs of Faith night.
01:01:29Next Monday, it's the return of our Judges Song contest right here.
01:01:33But with a 90s twist, and calling all millennials, we've got a TGIF reunion with some of your
01:01:40favorite stars, live on this stage.
01:01:42I know.
01:01:43I'm excited.
01:01:44So don't miss it.
01:01:46Now, with a number one from Christian rock band Mercy Me, it's Jordan McCullough.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52I'm a performer in church, and I didn't know that any of this was a possibility outside
01:01:57of the choir stand.
01:01:58Let the universe say amen.
01:02:01You're a powerhouse singer.
01:02:03You keep surprising me.
01:02:05I've tried many things, but I feel like I finally have found what I'm looking for.
01:02:12I can only imagine what it'd be like when I walk by your side.
01:02:24I can only imagine when that day comes, and I find myself standing in the sun.
01:02:45I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you.
01:02:59when I dance for you.
01:03:00Surrounded by your glory.
01:03:02What will my heart be?
01:03:05Will I dance for you, Jesus?
01:03:09Or at all few be still?
01:03:12Will I stand in presence?
01:03:15To my knees will I fall?
01:03:18Will I sing hallelujah?
01:03:21Will I be able to speak it all?
01:03:27Will I live?
01:03:30Will I die?
01:03:34For it all of you is still
01:03:37Will I sing in your way?
01:03:42Will I sing?
01:03:46Hallelujah
01:03:46Will I be able to speak it all?
01:03:51I can only imagine
01:03:58I can only imagine
01:04:00I can only imagine
01:04:19Praise God!
01:04:21Praise God!
01:04:24Jordan!
01:04:28Thank you!
01:04:30That's all I have to say. Thank you.
01:04:32Thank you. God bless you.
01:04:37Every time we see you, you have the ability to bring it up another notch every time.
01:04:44And I'm like, when's this guy going to run out of notches and you don't?
01:04:47And that's just a craft. It's an art that you have. And that was another notch up the ladder.
01:04:56Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:04:59I'll make it very short. Will the congregation please say, Amen.
01:05:07Amen. Amen.
01:05:09Amen. Amen.
01:05:12This is your lane. This is what you do as a worship director. Every single Sunday, right?
01:05:18Right. This feels like church to me.
01:05:21I mean, the only thing different is like maybe Ronnie here on his steady camera. Other than that, it's like
01:05:27being at Zeal Church, isn't it?
01:05:28It's cool right there. I like that.
01:05:29Yeah, well, keep looking. That's how you get the votes.
01:05:32Maybe a little wink or something.
01:05:35You can vote for Jordan right now online by texting and on the official American Idol account page on Facebook,
01:05:41Instagram, and TikTok, American Idol.com.
01:05:45I have all the voting details. Go check them out.
01:05:49Jordan McCullough, right at home here on the stage.
01:05:51Good job, buddy. Thank you.
01:05:53Good luck.
01:06:00Now, with a timeless John Lennon classic, it is Brooks. Here you go.
01:06:06You're not at a dementia care facility.
01:06:09Can you sing me a song today?
01:06:12A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
01:06:18You're a unicorn.
01:06:31I imagine there's no heaven
01:06:39It's easy if you try
01:06:45No hell below us
01:06:52Above us
01:06:54Only sky
01:06:59Imagine all the people
01:07:05Living for today
01:07:12Imagine there's no country
01:07:19Is it hard to be
01:07:22It's hard to be
01:07:26It's hard to be
01:07:27Nothing to kill or die for
01:07:33No religion too
01:07:40Imagine all the people
01:07:45You may find life in peace
01:07:51You may say I'm a dreamer
01:08:01But I'm not the only one
01:08:07I hope someday you will join us
01:08:15And the world will be us one
01:08:37I just love your voice. I love the way it sounds. I want to listen.
01:08:41I want you to go write a million songs and record them so I can go buy all of them.
01:08:45Thank you. Thank you so much.
01:08:49I'm having a problem trying to figure out who's going to take home the prize.
01:08:54But I'm serious. I'm not kidding. The talent is amazing.
01:08:58Your voice is amazing.
01:09:00The most important thing you have is your uniqueness to that voice.
01:09:04Your voice is just unbelievable. I love your voice.
01:09:09Thank you so much.
01:09:10Yeah, Brooks, you just keep us guessing. You know what I mean?
01:09:12And I feel like we are always very excited and curious to see what you're going to do.
01:09:17Even when we see the song, but it's like, what's he going to do with it?
01:09:21You put your stamp on everything that you do.
01:09:24And even the notes that you pick and the phrasing that you do.
01:09:27Like, it's authentically Brooks.
01:09:30Thank you so much.
01:09:31Great, man.
01:09:33Fantastic to watch you prepare, buddy.
01:09:35And you haven't done a lot of this, have you?
01:09:37No, I have not.
01:09:38No.
01:09:39He wanted to do some dance moves tonight, but I think maybe next week put some choreo in there.
01:09:43What's it feel like to be singing in front of all these people live for a vote?
01:09:48Great.
01:09:49Great.
01:09:54Okay, then.
01:09:56There's a time to vote for Brooks because he's great.
01:10:00If you want to see how I make it through in the live results, you've got to vote online via
01:10:06text or on Twitter.
01:10:07You have 10 votes per finalist per platform.
01:10:10Thank you very much.
01:10:11Brooks, appreciate it.
01:10:12See you later, Brooks.
01:10:12Bye.
01:10:18I mean, the talent, right?
01:10:19It is off the charts.
01:10:21I don't know how you're going to choose America.
01:10:24Hannah Harper and Chris Tongset will try to win your votes live right after this from Hollywood on American Idol.
01:10:32Be right back.
01:10:44Back with you for our first live show of the season.
01:10:47Pastor Luke, have you been having fun tonight with us?
01:10:51Yes, man.
01:10:51It's been awesome to be co-hosted with you.
01:10:55Thank you for letting me have this big opportunity.
01:10:59By the way, you know, we're about the same size in suit, so you could be my co-host.
01:11:04Luke Tillman, everyone.
01:11:06Thank you for being here.
01:11:07I love all of you guys.
01:11:12Congratulations on your new book coming out.
01:11:14You're very welcome.
01:11:15It's your first book?
01:11:16Yes.
01:11:17All right.
01:11:18What about that coloring book?
01:11:20Well, it's a coloring book, so basically I have two, but if you, like...
01:11:26He's got a primetime TV show.
01:11:27He's got two books.
01:11:28The guy's doing it all.
01:11:30Congratulations.
01:11:32As she went traveling the country with her family worship band, now she's trying to win
01:11:36the country over on the Idol stage.
01:11:38It's Hannah Harper.
01:11:39Good job, buddy.
01:11:42I never thought a song about string cheese would lead to all this.
01:11:46Can you open my string cheese?
01:11:48Well, that's about the most relatable song I think I've ever heard.
01:11:51It means a lot to me to represent other moms.
01:11:59There's a place where mercy reigns and never dies.
01:12:11There's a place where streams of grace flow deep in your eyes.
01:12:24Where all the love I've ever found comes like a flood comes flowing down.
01:12:37At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life.
01:12:45I'm in awe of you.
01:12:49I'm in awe of you.
01:12:52Where your love, red, red, and my sin washed white.
01:12:59I owe all to you.
01:13:02I owe all to you.
01:13:05Oh, here, my hope is found.

01:25:56Who do you want in your top 12?
01:25:59Your results are coming live right after this.
01:26:14Back with you on American Idol.
01:26:16It has been an incredible night on this stage.
01:26:19The judges and the whole studio have been on their feet all night long.
01:26:24Enjoying this Songs of Faith.
01:26:27Tom, give them the lights.
01:26:30And here we go.
01:26:31Lionel, just quickly, how, in your view, is this class shaping up?
01:26:36All right, so let me tell you something.
01:26:38Out of all the classes, this is probably the most diverse.
01:26:40When I say that, I mean from every imaginable configuration of genre.
01:26:46You all have managed to sparkle us again to the point where we don't know where you're coming from.
01:26:52All Martians are in this class.
01:26:55All Martians.
01:26:56Amazing class.
01:26:57Amazing class.
01:26:57And Carrie, you've done this before.
01:26:59How does the competition shift once we go live on the stage?
01:27:04I mean, there's definitely, there's pressure throughout, but it's just a different kind of pressure.
01:27:08You are live.
01:27:09But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion and show us what they got.
01:27:15And I definitely felt that tonight.
01:27:17Luke, how do you choose?
01:27:19I don't know how America chooses.
01:27:21You've got to trust your gut as a voter at home and just pick the people that, pick the artists
01:27:28that are on stage.
01:27:29It just makes you smile, make you laugh, make you cry.
01:27:32And I don't know how America's going to do it.
01:27:36Well, we have had five ways to vote tonight.
01:27:39Tens of millions of votes coming in at a rate we have never seen before.
01:27:44Truly unprecedented.
01:27:45And to ensure complete accuracy with the numbers, I was literally just told we are not going to announce eliminations
01:27:54tonight.
01:27:57This is the first time it's ever happened.
01:27:59Believe me, I've been here every night.
01:28:02I want to make sure we get every vote counted and every vote right.
01:28:05We'll carry forward those votes, get everything verified.
01:28:08So at the top of next week's show, your results will be revealed live on this stage.
01:28:24There you have it, America.
01:28:27Tens of millions of votes, your top 12 will sing for your votes live all over again during our judges
01:28:33song contest with a 90s twist.
01:28:36That's next Monday, 8, 7 central live right here.
01:28:40Good night, America.
01:28:46Good night.
