00:00:17Last night a little dancer came dancing to my door
00:00:22Last night my little angel came coming on my wall
00:00:28She said, come on baby, you've got a license for love
00:00:34And if it expires, pray help from above
00:00:39Everybody make some noise for the original idol, Billy Idol
00:00:46In the room in my trouble, she cried, mom, mom, mom
00:00:51With a rebel yell, she cried, mom, mom, mom
00:00:57In the midnights I was, she cried, mom, mom, mom
00:01:03With a rebel yell, she cried, mom, mom, mom
00:01:12He lives in his own heaven
00:01:17He left it to go from the 7-Eleven

00:01:25In his head

00:05:14With a not-to-be-missed live performance
00:05:17But first, here they are
00:05:19Helping Chris Thompson with his choice
00:05:21From 2024 inductees, Corner
00:05:24Let's go!
00:05:29My performance last week did not go very well
00:05:32Don't be safe
00:05:33I know it feels good to be safe
00:05:35But don't be safe
00:05:36I've never performed, like, ever in my life
00:05:38Until this show
00:05:39So I have a lot of questions
00:05:41You got this far, you must be doing something
00:05:42Yeah, well, I don't know
00:05:43I'm singing Cold as Ice by Foreigner
00:05:46You're as cold as ice
00:05:48It's a really hard song
00:05:50That's good, you're challenging yourself
00:05:52The first time I remember hearing this was on a job site
00:05:55My boss, he always plays, like, rock hits
00:05:57Chris is a great guy
00:05:59Very cool voice
00:06:01One of the most, like, inexperienced, so to speak, right?
00:06:05Someday you'll pay
00:06:09Maybe leave the curl off of that
00:06:10Make it like a...
00:06:12That's good
00:06:12You're gonna pay
00:06:13Yeah
00:06:13Plus if you save it for that other time, it's really good
00:06:16From a legend to a nobody
00:06:18This is, like, this is really unique
00:06:20So, uh, how are we sitting with the key?
00:06:23Uh, are we sure we don't want to go down in half?
00:06:25We could try it
00:06:27Someday you'll pay
00:06:30There you go
00:06:30That made all the difference at half-step
00:06:32Thank you
00:06:32There's a lot of pressure
00:06:33The live shows, there's millions of people watching
00:06:35First one, do you want me to hold it?
00:06:37Chris's last performance wasn't up to where he wanted it to be
00:06:39So this one's really important
00:06:41Cold as ice, he's gotta bring it
00:06:43Thank you
00:06:43Good luck, babe
00:06:44That was great, really great
00:06:47Thank you, guys
00:06:53You're as cold as ice
00:06:57Willing to sacrifice our love
00:07:02Ooh

00:07:27Of fortune and feelings
00:07:29Cause someday you'll pay
00:07:33You're as cold as ice

00:09:20Attitude now
00:09:21From that point on
00:09:22It's all about
00:09:23Doing it
00:09:24Performing it
00:09:25Making it happen
00:09:25Your voice is there
00:09:26Trust yourself
00:09:27Take a chance
00:09:28Thank you
00:09:30Chris
00:09:31This was a
00:09:32Fantastic song choice
00:09:34For you
00:09:35I love the energy
00:09:36You came out with
00:09:37I feel like this is
00:09:38One of my favorite performances
00:09:39That you have done
00:09:40If not the favorite performance
00:09:42That you have done
00:09:42Great way to kick us off, man
00:09:45Thank you
00:09:47Yeah, I love that in the front
00:09:49You kind of kept it down
00:09:50Kind of your style
00:09:51And then you got back
00:09:53To what the song
00:09:54Originally is
00:09:55And you brought the energy
00:09:56And you just gave us a lot
00:09:58I mean, we saw a lot of you
00:09:59Did you have
00:10:00Something
00:10:01Something blowing on your hair
00:10:03I had the Beyonce fans
00:10:04Something like that
00:10:05The J-Lo fans
00:10:06There you go
00:10:07You know, you got the hair
00:10:09And you got the hair
00:10:09Blowing in the wind
00:10:10In the mix
00:10:11Yeah, it was fun
00:10:12That was fun
00:10:14Gotta use all the angles

00:10:38How'd that one feel
00:10:39Differently tonight?

00:13:39And it all starts
00:13:41At 8, 7 central
00:13:42Next Monday
00:13:44Now here's Pat and Neil
00:13:46Giving their expert advice
00:13:47On Adonis summer classes
00:13:48By Ray
00:13:49Take a look
00:13:54My mom is the biggest
00:13:56Pat Benatar
00:13:57And Neil Giraldo fan
00:13:59My mom was a singer
00:14:02She sang Pat Benatar
00:14:06Hey mom
00:14:07Hi mom
00:14:08Yeah
00:14:08How you doing?
00:14:09Stop
00:14:10Don't cry
00:14:11Don't cry
00:14:12So glad I got to FaceTime my mom
00:14:13She's doing great
00:14:15Oh my gosh
00:14:16Really meant a lot
00:14:18To me and to her
00:14:20I love you mommy
00:14:23For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
00:14:25I am singing MacArthur Park
00:14:26By Donna Summer
00:14:28I saw that Carrie
00:14:30Did MacArthur Park
00:14:31On her season
00:14:32Of American Idol
00:14:33Like this is my sign
00:14:35To do the song
00:14:37So this week
00:14:38I really have to bring it
00:14:40Last week
00:14:41I was actually
00:14:42In the bottom two
00:14:43And Lionel Richie
00:14:44Saved me
00:14:45My answer is Ray
00:14:46I definitely feel the pressure
00:14:48I am so grateful
00:14:49To sing on the stage again
00:14:51So I got to do it justice
00:14:52Again
00:14:56One suggestion
00:14:57Maybe
00:14:58Is very powerful
00:14:59Right?
00:15:00Is there a way
00:15:01To do something
00:15:01Where you're very powerful
00:15:02And then do something
00:15:03Where it's very quiet
00:15:04So it gets really soulful
00:15:06Yeah like at the very end
00:15:07So I'm like
00:15:10If you hold that last note
00:15:11A little longer
00:15:12And just let it fade away
00:15:13Maybe move the mic away
00:15:18You know what
00:15:19No one can do
00:15:20What you can do
00:15:21So you just
00:15:22Play with it
00:15:23Enjoy it
00:15:23And we'll get you
00:15:24Out of that bottom
00:15:25Yes
00:15:25We have it in there
00:15:26You can
00:15:26You will find it
00:15:27And bring it today
00:15:28Thank you guys
00:15:28Yes
00:15:28You're welcome
00:15:35Spring was never waiting
00:15:38For a steer
00:15:40It ran one step ahead
00:15:44As we followed in
00:15:46The dance
00:15:48The carpet's park is melting
00:15:52In the dark
00:15:54All the sweet green icing
00:15:57Flowing down
00:16:00Someone left the cake out
00:16:03In the rain
00:16:04I don't think that I can take it
00:16:10Cause it took so long to bake it
00:16:13And I'll never have that recipe again
00:16:19Oh no
00:16:27I recall the yellow cotton dress
00:16:32Flowing like a man
00:16:36On the ground beneath your knees
00:16:41On the ground beneath your knees
00:16:59I don't think that I can take it
00:17:04And it took so long to bake it
00:17:07And I'll never have that recipe again
00:17:28Never again
00:17:29Never again
00:17:32Never again
00:17:51I love the drama.
00:17:53It was just dramatic in all the right places
00:17:56and the dress and getting down.
00:17:59You were telling a story.
00:18:00I still don't know what that song means,
00:18:03but you did a great job,
00:18:05and you clocked me from my performance all them years ago.
00:18:11So good job.
00:18:13Thank you so much.
00:18:16I feel so much better now because you performed it.
00:18:18You don't know what it means.
00:18:19I don't know what it means, but it was great.
00:18:22So I think a lot of my songs people don't know what they mean.
00:18:26I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:18:27But the bottom line is your whole presentation this whole season
00:18:33has just been great vocals.
00:18:35We saw you almost kind of get emotional.
00:18:38You're really pouring it all into your performances,
00:18:40and we see that, and we're glad you're here.
00:18:43And, America, make sure you vote, and great job.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:46Yeah.
00:18:50Just, just, just for the record,
00:18:52just for the record,
00:18:53you're not supposed to know what it means.
00:18:55It just goes, yeah, it's a hit record.
00:18:57It's a hit record.
00:18:58By the way, I love the fact that we're doing these songs
00:19:01because these are classic hits,
00:19:03and you are making it classic by turning these songs
00:19:06into your song.
00:19:08And that's what makes it special.
00:19:09You're not afraid.
00:19:11You're not afraid to put your stamp on that hit record.
00:19:17Way to go, Ray.
00:19:19I always wondered why the cake was in the rain.
00:19:23Why was the cake out in the rain?
00:19:25Couldn't take it.
00:19:26Too long to bake it.
00:19:28I'll never have that recipe again.
00:19:30Carrie, when you watched that performance,
00:19:33what do you remember about that night
00:19:35when you performed it back in 2005?
00:19:38I think I might have been told at the end
00:19:42I looked like I was from a dishwasher powder commercial.
00:19:47What?
00:19:47I think I can guess.
00:19:49We're nice to you guys.
00:19:50What?
00:19:51I can guess which judge powder.
00:19:52I think so.
00:19:53Maybe it wasn't that one.
00:19:55It might have been a blue dress I was wearing.
00:19:56I don't know.
00:19:57It was something like that.
00:19:59So tonight you wanted to come back and have a great one.
00:20:01How did you change your approach this week?
00:20:03I honestly just worked so hard on my mental health this week
00:20:07and just made sure I was so present in this performance
00:20:10and put my soul into it.
00:20:12And you did it.
00:20:12There you go.
00:20:13There you go.
00:20:14You need your votes to make it to next week.
00:20:17Send them in for Ray and all your favorites
00:20:19online via the app or through social media.
00:20:22Voting will close in the final commercial break.
00:20:25Ray, everyone.
00:20:26Nice work.
00:20:32And now from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 1989,
00:20:36here's some Stevie Wonder coming from Brayden Rumpfels.
00:20:44So what are you singing today?
00:20:46Superstition.
00:20:46What made you decide to do this song?
00:20:48My brother texted me,
00:20:49yeah, nobody wants to hear a slow song again.
00:20:52Just go ahead and do something upbeat like superstition.
00:20:55So we kind of, like, contradict each other,
00:20:57but we're best friends.
00:20:58We haven't even had a fist fight since, like, high school.
00:21:02Ooh, there is superstitious.
00:21:05Are you going to hand-held?
00:21:06Are you going to say...
00:21:07What do you think?
00:21:08I would get out.
00:21:09I would be, you know, just playing.
00:21:11Yeah, getting with you.
00:21:12If you're happy and you're really trying to get through,
00:21:15get those arms out.
00:21:16Broke the looking glass.
00:21:19People are going to be out there clapping.
00:21:22Good, good.
00:21:22Maybe, hopefully, on 2 and 4, not 1 and 3.
00:21:25Yeah, not 1 and 3.
00:21:26They do that.
00:21:26I'll tell you, that's why you should never look out in the crowd.
00:21:29Yeah, it's like looking on the front row at a funeral,
00:21:31if you don't want to cry.
00:21:33That's what I was doing before this, by the way.
00:21:35I was like the wedding, more of a funeral singer.
00:21:38I love this kid.
00:21:39Brayden was a hoot.
00:21:40He was a hoot.
00:21:41I'm going to adopt him.
00:21:42I don't know about the twin.
00:21:43We've been married for 44 years, so it works out.
00:21:45My vagravation.
00:21:46I understand.
00:21:47Pat and Neil really just felt like
00:21:49I had met them before or something.
00:21:52We had a good time.
00:21:53We had a lot of fun.
00:21:54I feel like we had too much fun.
00:21:55You guys are great.
00:21:56Really fun time.
00:21:58Brayden, I don't have any doubt that he will deliver
00:22:01a truly great performance.
00:22:08There is superstition
00:22:13Riding's on the wall
00:22:18Very superstition
00:22:22Let us back too far
00:22:2713 month old baby
00:22:32Poked the looking glass
00:22:37Seven years of bad luck
00:22:42Your good things in the past
00:22:46When you believe in things
00:22:50That you don't understand
00:22:52Then you'll suffer
00:22:56Superstition either way
00:23:00Oh, when there is superstition
00:23:05Oh, wash your face and hands
00:23:10And rid me of the problem
00:23:15And do all that you can
00:23:20Keep me in a day to read
00:23:23Or keep me going strong
00:23:29You don't want to save me
00:23:33Or sign in a song
00:23:39When you believe in things
00:23:42That you don't understand
00:23:44And you'll suffer
00:23:47Superstition either way
00:23:50Superstition either way
00:23:52Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:23:54Oh, na, na, na
00:23:57Yeah
00:23:58When you believe in things
00:24:01That you don't understand
00:24:05Then you'll suffer
00:24:12Superstition either way
00:24:30Okay, okay, Brayden
00:24:33Hey
00:24:39Keep listening to your brother
00:24:41Keep listening to your brother
00:24:42Great song choice
00:24:44Great energy
00:24:45Good
00:24:45His brother over there
00:24:47Where's he?
00:24:47Good job
00:24:48Hey
00:24:49You just lead him, baby
00:24:50You lead him, all right
00:24:53All I'm going to say now
00:24:54Is way to put some barbecue sauce
00:24:58On the career
00:24:59You know, every once in a while
00:25:01I just have to tell people
00:25:02It's all about the barbecue sauce
00:25:04It's called the vibe, man
00:25:05And the more you do this
00:25:07And make yourself go outside
00:25:09Of your comfort zone
00:25:09You're in the right road

00:26:30Now from the Rock and Roll
00:26:31Hall of Fame
00:26:32Class of 2004
00:26:33A timeless track
00:26:34By Jackson Brown
00:26:35Courtesy of Brooks
00:26:43Last week's performance
00:26:44I wasn't extremely happy about
00:26:46I felt like the back half
00:26:48You were kind of uncomfortable
00:26:49I got so nervous and anxious
00:26:52Just do what you do
00:26:53Because you got it
00:26:54Your voice is so incredible
00:26:56Thank you
00:26:56When people believe in me
00:26:58It helps me believe more in myself
00:27:00Brooks
00:27:00Coming into this week
00:27:02Definitely more confident
00:27:05I think this is a good song for me
00:27:07To kind of express
00:27:08Some of the feelings that I have
00:27:09Being vulnerable in front of people
00:27:11And kind of just letting loose
00:27:12What are you singing today?
00:27:13These Days by Jackson Brown
00:27:15I was a shy kid
00:27:16And I grew up trying to be independent
00:27:18Just kind of staying in my own lane
00:27:20And that's what it means to me
00:27:22Don't do that much talking
00:27:25These days
00:27:26You close your eyes
00:27:27What do you got going on
00:27:28When you're doing that?
00:27:30I see shapes and colors
00:27:32When I close my eyes
00:27:33Depending on the mood of the song
00:27:36It's kind of hard to explain
00:27:38Because I'm colorblind
00:27:39But when I close my eyes
00:27:41And sing
00:27:42I see the music
00:27:43Rather than hear it
00:27:44If I feel that it's like happy
00:27:46It's usually brighter
00:27:47And the shapes are like bolder
00:27:51If I were to hear something
00:27:53Really sad
00:27:54It would be darker
00:27:56You're tapping into some
00:27:57Really some spiritual stuff
00:27:59Going on my man
00:28:00I'm telling you
00:28:00The blessing that the audience
00:28:02Is going to get
00:28:03From hearing him sing that song
00:28:04That's power
00:28:05He's such a sweet soul
00:28:07I just think that what he is
00:28:08And what he has
00:28:09Is just something really special
00:28:10Well done
00:28:11Thank you
00:28:27Oh I've been out walking
00:28:32I don't do that much talking
00:28:36These days
00:28:38These days
00:28:45These days
00:28:46I seem to think a lot
00:28:48About the things
00:28:50That I forgot to do
00:28:52For you
00:28:57And all the times
00:29:00I had the chance to
00:29:08Oh I had a lover
00:29:14It's so hard
00:29:16To risk another
00:29:17These days
00:29:22These days
00:29:26Now if I seem to be afraid
00:29:29To live the life
00:29:31That I've made in song
00:29:38Oh it's just that
00:29:40I've been losing
00:29:44For so long
00:29:50Oh I'll keep on moving
00:29:56Things are bound to be improving
00:29:59These days
00:30:01These days
00:30:08These days
00:30:10These days
00:30:26All right
00:30:27I'm just
00:30:28I'm just gonna tell it
00:30:29To you like it is
00:30:31God has given you
00:30:34Your blessing
00:30:35Which is your voice
00:30:36It is one of the greatest
00:30:39Unique sounds
00:30:40That you can ever ask for
00:30:42And
00:30:43You're wearing it well
00:30:45I'm telling you
00:30:45I love what you just said
00:30:46Thank you so much
00:30:49I didn't want the song to end
00:30:52I feel like this was a complete
00:30:54Opposite
00:30:55From last week
00:30:56You just seemed
00:30:58So in the moment
00:30:59So comfortable
00:31:00You looked like
00:31:01You just belonged
00:31:01Exactly where you're at

00:31:03Perfection
00:31:05Yeah

00:31:14It's like
00:31:14I mean
00:31:14I'm just so into it

00:36:52How could you not love them all
00:36:55So my grandma
00:36:56And Grandpa Rock
00:36:58Is a book you've got out right
00:37:00Tell me about it
00:37:01We have grandbabies
00:37:02I can't believe it
00:37:03And they're trying to figure out
00:37:06What we really do
00:37:07Besides take them to Target
00:37:09What's the answer
00:37:10What do you really do
00:37:11We don't know
00:37:14And you're going out on tour
00:37:15With Brian Adams
00:37:16We're going out this summer
00:37:17Again with Brian Adams
00:37:23Here's Pat and Neil
00:37:25Leading the way
00:37:26With Daniel Stallworth
00:37:27Take a look
00:37:30Hello Daniel
00:37:31Good to see you guys
00:37:32Doing well
00:37:35This round was definitely
00:37:37The hardest time I've had
00:37:39Choosing a song
00:37:40I'll be performing
00:37:41Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi
00:37:42She says we've got to hold on
00:37:45To what we've got
00:37:47I'm taking a risk on this
00:37:49This is my very first time
00:37:51Performing a rock song
00:37:52Tommy used to work on the docks
00:37:56I forgot the word
00:37:57I can't believe this is happening right now
00:38:00I feel like I made a few mistakes in there
00:38:02Living on a Prayer
00:38:09What's that high note
00:38:10What is that note
00:38:12Are you worried about that note
00:38:13That's what I want to know
00:38:14Maybe so
00:38:15Okay so if you are
00:38:16When I've got to do
00:38:17Super really high thing
00:38:19The tendency is to go like this
00:38:21Try going like this
00:38:24Because when you go up
00:38:25You're pulling everything so tight
00:38:28You know what I mean
00:38:29And you have more power
00:38:31Than you ever need
00:38:32You've been doing a marathon
00:38:33Up to that point
00:38:34People remember intros
00:38:35And you remember endings
00:38:37And he's got to deliver that end
00:38:38Going into the performance
00:38:40I have a lot to work on
00:38:42Being able to stay in this competition
00:38:43It will mean the world to me
00:38:45And I want it to be

00:44:56She's ready to bring the wonder
00:44:58It's
00:44:59Kyla Richardson
00:45:05Talk to us about this last performance
00:45:08At the end of the judges song contest
00:45:10I looked up and saw Drew
00:45:11And it made me really emotional
00:45:12The next person through
00:45:14Is
00:45:16Kyla
00:45:19It's been a tough week
00:45:20But I didn't think I was gonna make it through
00:45:22But I made it through
00:45:24The emotional release
00:45:25That means you gave it everything
00:45:27That's what I did
00:45:28And it's exactly what you gotta do
00:45:29With Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
00:45:31Here I am
00:45:31I'm signed, sealed, delivered
00:45:33I'm yours
00:45:34I would love to see you
00:45:37Sing that song
00:45:38To your boy
00:45:40Oh my gosh
00:45:41I mean I could really feel that
00:45:43I would love to be singing that to my two grown daughters
00:45:46Yes, yes
00:45:46You know what I mean
00:45:47Here I am baby
00:45:50So I do the living
00:45:51I'm your
00:45:52Yeah
00:45:53Cause that's it
00:45:55She ran through it
00:45:56And she did a great job
00:45:57But it was
00:45:58It was like Stevie Wonder's version
00:46:00So we gotta twist it up a little bit, right?
00:46:03I wonder if we could do an intro singing verse
00:46:06As a ballad
00:46:07Slow
00:46:08Like in other words
00:46:09Second verse
00:46:11Seen a lot of things in this whole world
00:46:15I think that was a great decision
00:46:17When I said that
00:46:18I said, oh I see why y'all got a lot of grannies
00:46:21Good
00:46:21I like that
00:46:22Yeah
00:46:23You like that?
00:46:24Thank you
00:46:31Like a fool
00:46:32I wouldn't stay too long

00:49:35Thank you, Luke.
00:49:39Let the congregation say amen.
00:49:47Luke squeezed my hand so hard.
00:49:50You squeezed my hand so hard because you were so excited.
00:49:54That was absolutely amazing.
00:49:56I mean, I think it should be Rock Hall show every single week because you guys are just

00:52:39I'm blessed.
00:52:39Now with another rock hit by an icon from the class of 1994, Elton John, Lucas Leon.
00:52:46Take a look.
00:52:47Wow.
00:52:49Gosh, this is the most saddest thing I've ever done.
00:52:52Well, it's not that much stuff that you've done already.
00:52:55And you're only 17?
00:52:5618.
00:52:5718.
00:52:58No, we're in the fourth quarter.
00:52:59We're in the fourth quarter.
00:52:59I'm just telling you right now.
00:53:00Fourth quarter.
00:53:00We're 70s in the fourth quarter.
00:53:02It's okay.
00:53:03It's always good to know where you're at.
00:53:05So Lucas is a young dude, man.
00:53:06I'm always impressed that they're out there doing it.
00:53:17So why did you choose Benny and the Jets?
00:53:20I'm a country-ish artist, I'd like to say, and I've done some pretty safe picks.
00:53:25But this round, I just kind of want to loosen up a little bit and do something nobody really saw
00:53:31coming.
00:53:33That's great.
00:53:34Fantastic.
00:53:35I would have never expected that rasp to come out of use.
00:53:37The intro of this song, could you just kind of like, maybe like, some kind of just.
00:53:45More activity up high.
00:53:47Pushing out of your comfort zone, even though it is horrifyingly scary, it is so important to do.
00:53:53And if you are able to manage it, it really gets you so far.
00:54:02The thing that I'm most nervous about for this performance, that's better, is, yeah, while I'm trying to switch it
00:54:09up and, you know, bring a different vibe to the table this week, I'm wondering how much is too much.
00:54:14Work on it.
00:54:14See if it comes to you.
00:54:15Yeah, we're getting there.
00:54:16Yeah, you'll get there.
00:54:18Surprise.
00:54:18Surprise.
00:54:23Surprise.
00:54:28Hey, kids, shake it loose together.
00:54:31The spotlight's eating something that's been known to change the weather.
00:54:35We'll kill the fatty cap tonight.
00:54:37So stick around.
00:54:41You're going to hear electric music's all the walls of sound.
00:54:48Say, Kenny and Ronnie, and we sing to him, yeah.
00:54:52Oh, but the soul's best out.
00:54:54But we can put the baby in a dress.
00:54:59Oh, mother, wizard, and the wonderful old band.
00:55:02She's a relicant.
00:55:05She's got electric boots.
00:55:07I'm on your suit.
00:55:08You know, I read it in a magazine.
00:55:11Enough, enough, enough.
00:55:14P-P-P-P-P-Pinnie and the Jets.
00:55:18Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:55:22Put the Benny and the Jets.
00:55:25Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:55:29Oh, Kenny and Ronnie, have you seen them, yeah?
00:55:32Oh, but there's some space now.
00:55:36P-P-P-P-P-Pinnie and the Jets.
00:55:40Oh, I'ma do it in a wonderful band.
00:55:44You see the relicant.
00:55:46She's got electric boots.
00:55:48I'm on your suit.
00:55:50You know, I read it in a magazine.
00:55:53Enough, blah, blah, blah.
00:55:55P-P-P-Pinnie and the Jets.
00:55:59Oh, no, no, no, no, Benny in the chest
00:56:04Oh, Benny, Benny in the chest
00:56:25One of my favorite songs, and I'm telling you,
00:56:31you waited right to the end to put your magic on it.
00:56:36I'm telling you, when I say this, take the chances.
00:56:38You are the musician of life.
00:56:40Let the vocals go.
00:56:41Let the vocals go.
00:56:43Let them go.
00:56:44I thought it was a really good song choice,
00:56:46and I feel like you were so entertaining behind the piano,
00:56:50which is hard when you're kind of tethered to one place
00:56:53behind a big instrument, but you were entertaining still,
00:56:57and that was great.
00:56:58You do great.
00:56:59Thank you so much.
00:57:02I smiled the whole time.
00:57:04You have this charisma thing that you can't go by anywhere in a store,
00:57:10anywhere you've got the, you just make me happy.
00:57:13You keep showing us new elements, and, man, you just keep growing
00:57:18and keep surprising us.
00:57:20Unbelievable.
00:57:21Thank you so much.
00:57:22Nice work tonight.
00:57:24Did you rehearse those facialisms?
00:57:27They kind of just happen.
00:57:29I don't really know where they come from.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:31He just makes people happy when you watch him, right?

00:57:48Thank you so much.
00:57:52Next, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo
00:57:55help Kendall land on the perfect song for the moment.
00:57:58Check it out.
00:57:59There you go.
00:58:02Last week's performance,
00:58:03definitely very far from my favorite I've ever done in my life.
00:58:07I was just in my head,
00:58:08and for a second I forgot to just be Kendall.
00:58:11At this stage in the competition,
00:58:13there's just not room for mediocre performances.
00:58:16I have to step it up.
00:58:17What are you going to sing?
00:58:18I'm trying to decide between two songs right now.
00:58:20I would be either singing
00:58:22Message in a Bottle by the Police
00:58:23or Peace of My Heart by James Johnson.
00:58:27I loved Kendall's voice.
00:58:29I loved her whole demeanor.
00:58:31I think Peace of My Heart,
00:58:33it's a classic rock song.
00:58:34Everybody knows it,
00:58:35and they want to sing along.
00:58:40That's fun.
00:58:41That's awesome.
00:58:42That's great.
00:58:43That's great.
00:58:44This is like,
00:58:44I wouldn't say out of my comfort zone,
00:58:46but kind of.
00:58:47Doesn't sound like it.
00:58:48I'm curious to see what happens
00:58:49with the other song.
00:58:50Yeah, let's hear the other one.
00:58:54Message in a Bottle was one
00:58:56where she could be more of like a performing art-ist.
00:59:03It's more authentic to me
00:59:05in what I might write.
00:59:06You've got to pick
00:59:07what's going to make you the most comfortable.
00:59:09Yeah.
00:59:10Truly.
00:59:11I am a little bit
00:59:13in my head about this week.
00:59:14Song choice is really important.
00:59:15Okay, let me just say this.
00:59:16Yeah, please help.
00:59:17If you want to make a splash,
00:59:20do Message in a Bottle.
00:59:21No way.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:26Let's find out which song it is.
00:59:30Kendall takes the stage
00:59:31live right after this.
00:59:32Hang tight.
00:59:45You are live on Idol.
00:59:47Before the break,
00:59:48we're on the edge of our seats
00:59:49wondering which song Kendall chose
00:59:52for the major moment here.
00:59:53We should go with Pat and Neil's suggestion
00:59:55and perform The Police,
00:59:56or is it gonna be Janis Joplin?
01:00:00Can't we?
01:00:01Let's find out right now.
01:00:03America, give it up for Kendall.
01:00:14Didn't I make you feel
01:00:17like you were the only man?
01:00:25Yeah, didn't I give you everything
01:00:29a woman possibly can?
01:00:31Honey, I did.
01:00:33He's trying to tell myself
01:00:36that I've had enough.
01:00:39I'm gonna show you, baby,
01:00:42that a woman can be tough.
01:00:45I want you to come on,
01:00:47come on, come on.
01:00:51Take it.
01:00:53Take another little piece of my heart.
01:00:55Now, baby.
01:00:57Oh, break it.
01:00:59Break another little piece of my heart.
01:01:01Now, darling.
01:01:03Oh, come on.
01:01:05I've another little piece of my heart.
01:01:08Now, baby.
01:01:10You know you got it
01:01:13if it makes you feel good.
01:01:17Each time I tell myself
01:01:19I can't stand the pain.
01:01:22That's when you hold me in your arms
01:01:25and I sing it once again.
01:01:29Come on, come on, come on.
01:01:35Take it.
01:01:36Take another little piece of my heart.
01:01:39Now, baby.
01:01:40Oh, break it.
01:01:43Break another little piece of my heart.
01:01:45Now, baby.
01:01:47Oh, have it.
01:01:49Have another little piece of my heart.
01:01:52Now, baby.
01:01:54You know you got it
01:01:56if it makes you feel good.
01:02:12If it makes you feel good.
01:02:16How do you feel?
01:02:19Kendall, it's been a weird week on The Voice.
01:02:22So, you know what?
01:02:23We just did that, y'all.
01:02:27Kendall, you have such an incredible instrument
01:02:30or you wouldn't be standing here on this stage.
01:02:31I just kind of felt like you gave up on yourself
01:02:33a little bit towards the end.
01:02:35It started out energetic
01:02:36and then it just kind of deflated.
01:02:38The more you went,
01:02:39you started turning around more.
01:02:40And I was like,
01:02:41where's she going?
01:02:42What's she doing?
01:02:43But it was more about your attitude toward it.
01:02:47Your voice is amazing.
01:02:49Yeah, way to battle through.
01:02:51Thanks.
01:02:52If you're having a rough,
01:02:54we all have our rough voice weeks
01:02:56and way to battle through.
01:02:58And I do believe you picked the perfect song
01:03:01that embodies what you are as an artist
01:03:03and kind of a free spirit.
01:03:04So way to get through it.
01:03:06Yeah, congrats.
01:03:07Good job.
01:03:07I totally agree with Luke
01:03:10in terms of you picked the right song.
01:03:12And believe me,
01:03:13it happens to all of us.
01:03:14Our brain gets involved with our throat
01:03:16and then it gets all cattywampers.
01:03:18You did a great job.
01:03:20All right, don't let that get in your way.
01:03:25Let's hear it for Kendall, everyone.
01:03:30I did.
01:03:31I did.
01:03:31I can't even circle.
01:03:33Don't speak.
01:03:34I'll just make signs for you.
01:03:35Thank you for fighting through that one tonight.
01:03:38Let's try and get you that vote, Kendall.
01:03:40You ready?
01:03:40Let's go, guys.
01:03:41If Kendall stole your heart,
01:03:43vote for it right now online or via text.
01:03:46You can also vote
01:03:47on the American Idol social pages
01:03:49on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
01:03:52Your live results are coming at the end of the show.
01:03:55So vote, vote, vote.
01:03:56Kendall, everyone.
01:03:57Feel better.
01:04:04He is still riding high off last week's triumph.
01:04:07Can he deliver again with some platinum?
01:04:10A foreigner.
01:04:10It's Philman Lee.
01:04:14Philman had the most surprising arrangement.
01:04:18You said it was his big breakout moment.
01:04:20It was.
01:04:20It really felt like it in the room.
01:04:22It was.
01:04:23That was incredible and electric.
01:04:26Nice to meet you.
01:04:27Going into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week,
01:04:28I definitely feel like my confidence has gotten a lot better.
01:04:31So, insurance and rock and roll.
01:04:34Insurance was just paying the bills.
01:04:36Hey, I was a bank teller.
01:04:37Oh, wow.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:38Yeah, I worked on the docs.
01:04:39Hey, you got to do what you got to do.
01:04:41What are you singing?
01:04:42Hot-blooded by Foreigner.
01:04:43I think that a lot of times,
01:04:49especially young people,
01:04:50they think that the higher they can get it,
01:04:53that delivers some kind of power,
01:04:55and it doesn't.
01:04:56I love the rasp in your voice.
01:04:58Yeah, it's great.
01:04:58The rasp is great.
01:05:00But I'm thinking we take it down a half step,
01:05:02because it just sounds like when you're singing,
01:05:04you're not really comfortable getting that note,
01:05:06so you're backing off the mic.
01:05:07Now you're so fine.
01:05:11Get me laid on the line.
01:05:14Way better.
01:05:15And just bringing it down enough gives them enough confidence,
01:05:18and they're able to do it.
01:05:19Let me talk to you about singing this song, okay?
01:05:21So, you are singing this to a female.
01:05:24Like, you better be saying, like,
01:05:25Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
01:05:29You know what I mean?
01:05:29Like, what would I do if I sang that to you like that?
01:05:32I'd be right all over here.
01:05:33Really? Oh, man.
01:05:34I started something.
01:05:35Yeah.
01:05:44Ooh, yeah.
01:05:49Yeah, I'm half-blooded.
01:05:51Check it and see.
01:05:52I got a fever of a hundred degrees.
01:05:57Come on, baby, do you do more than dance?
01:06:01I'm half-blooded, half-blooded.
01:06:07You don't have to read my mind.
01:06:11Know what I have in mind.
01:06:15Honey, you ought to know.
01:06:20Yeah, you're moving so fast.
01:06:24Let me lay it on the line.
01:06:28Yeah, I want to know what you're doing.
01:06:31I have to show.
01:06:36Now, it's up to you.
01:06:38We can make a seepid rendezvous.
01:06:44Just be it again.
01:06:46I'll show you laughing like you never knew.
01:06:52If I'm half-blooded, take it and see.
01:06:56I got a fever of a hundred degrees.
01:07:01Come on, baby, do more than dance.
01:07:04I'm half-blooded, half-blooded.
01:07:08Half-blooded.
01:07:10Check it and see.
01:07:12Gonna feel a fever of a hundred degrees.
01:07:17Come on, baby.
01:07:18Do you do more than dance?
01:07:20Half-blooded, half-blooded.
01:07:24Half-blooded.
01:07:26Half-blooded.
01:07:27Half-blooded.
01:07:29Half-blooded.
01:07:33Half-blooded.
01:07:35Half-blooded.
01:07:42Filming.
01:07:42Wow, wow, wow.
01:07:45On Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night, those are the kind of songs I'm thinking we're going to hear.
01:07:50Great song choice.
01:07:51Listen, you know, just next time, too, just don't be scared to just be in the character of everything.
01:07:57I think your in-ear monitor was kind of messing with you a little bit, and it was throwing you
01:08:01on.
01:08:01Slid off a little bit.
01:08:02I found a way to get it back in there.
01:08:04Get through that and get back to, like, embodying what that song is.
01:08:07I even wanted to see your hair get messed up a little bit.
01:08:10I think I got too much product for this thing to fall loose.
01:08:13I totally agree.
01:08:14Listen, there's singing, and then there's performing.
01:08:18You follow me?
01:08:19And so what we were waiting for was right after you mess with that ear, then you started looking at
01:08:23us,
01:08:24which means you're looking at America.
01:08:26They're falling in love with you.
01:08:27You've got to look at us.
01:08:28That's the thing you want them to do.
01:08:32Such a great song for your voice.
01:08:35Like, nailed it vocally.
01:08:37I still want to see some more swagger.
01:08:39Right, right.
01:08:40There you go.
01:08:41I got you.
01:08:41I got you.
01:08:41It's in there.
01:08:42It's in there.
01:08:43Bring it.
01:08:43More, more, more.
01:08:44I got you.
01:08:45More, more.
01:08:45Bring all that confidence.
01:08:47Come in for a second.
01:08:48Luke.
01:08:49Luke.
01:08:50Mess up his hair a little bit.
01:08:51Let's see if we can get him messed up.
01:08:53Get in there.
01:08:55The jacket's holding him back.
01:08:56We've got to shake the jacket.
01:08:58Anyway, there you go.
01:08:59There you go.
01:09:00Come on now.
01:09:07Philman wants to be in your top nine for Disney night next week.
01:09:11Help him get there by voting right now online via text and across social.
01:09:16You've got the power, America.
01:09:18Use it.
01:09:19There is a lot of product in there.
01:09:20Yes.
01:09:21I recognize that myself.
01:09:22Philman Lee, everyone.
01:09:24Good job.
01:09:30After this, another song from the soundtrack of our lives.
01:09:34Hannah Harper is taking on Fleetwood Mac's Landslide.
01:09:38Don't move.
01:09:41We got it in here.
01:09:50Look at this.
01:09:51Welcome back to American Idol.
01:09:52Big hello right now to Danielle Fischel.
01:09:54And Idol's OG rocker, Konstantin Maroulos.
01:09:58Good to see you, brother.
01:10:00Good to see you again.
01:10:01Good to see you, always.
01:10:02You can catch Sam breaking down all of tonight's rock and roll action on the American Idol official podcast this
01:10:07Wednesday on Hulu and Disney+.
01:10:09And wherever you get your podcasts.
01:10:12Now, here's the meeting of the minds with Pat, Neil, and Hannah.
01:10:21Heads Carolina, Tails California.
01:10:23Okay, Jodi Messina.
01:10:25Last week, I got online and I saw Jodi Messina watching me sing her song.
01:10:28Okay, Hannah, you're not allowed to sing it better than me.
01:10:30That is so cool.
01:10:32Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week had me a little bit nervous.
01:10:34I did not grow up with rock and roll music in my household at all.
01:10:37Your family was, they were musicians or singers?
01:10:40Bluegrass.
01:10:40Full time.
01:10:41We lived on a bus.
01:10:41Oh, bluegrass.
01:10:43I love bluegrass.
01:10:44I decided to sing Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
01:10:46Took my love and I took it down.
01:10:50Hannah's like a little bird.
01:10:51She has a beautiful voice.
01:10:53Kind of forgot I had a guitar on me there for a minute.
01:10:55I was like, oh yeah, I got to play this thing.
01:10:56No, but it was kind of cool you didn't.
01:10:58I say not playing a guitar in the beginning.
01:11:00Yeah, I loved where we came in.
01:11:01Second half.
01:11:02Yeah.
01:11:02Hannah represents pureness in family and music.
01:11:06You have kids, right?
01:11:08Two daughters.
01:11:09Did you travel with your kids?
01:11:10You bet.
01:11:11We never traveled without them.
01:11:12It's very difficult.
01:11:13She's got a lot on her plate.
01:11:15She's trying to do something really important.
01:11:17At the same time, there are sacrifices to be made.
01:11:19Still praying for a bus.
01:11:20Right now, we're just working out of a van with my three kids.
01:11:23Oh, you need a bus.
01:11:24You need the bus.
01:11:25It definitely scares me going into the business as a mom.
01:11:28Like right now, my husband is here full time with me taking care of my kids while I'm doing this.
01:11:34So that's the hardest part right now.
01:11:36I know it's going to be hard, but if Pat did it, I can do it.
01:11:38Do you have any other questions or any thoughts?
01:11:40I'm a pro.
01:11:42I'm not off the top of my head.
01:11:43You can't scare her.
01:11:43She got three kids.
01:11:51I took my love and I took it down.
01:11:58I climbed a mountain and I turned around.
01:12:02And I saw my reflection in a snow-covered hill
01:12:10Till the landslide brought me down
01:12:14Oh, nearer in the sky, what is it?
01:12:22Can the child within my heart rise above?
01:12:28Can I sail through the changing ocean tide?
01:12:36Can I handle the seasons of my life?
01:12:50Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:12:56Cause I built my life around you
01:13:03But time makes you bolder
01:13:08Even children get older
01:13:11And I'm getting older too
01:13:17Oh, I'm getting older too
01:13:23Well, I've been afraid of changing
01:13:31Cause I built my life around you
01:13:57That was a classic song with a classic performance.
01:14:04Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:14:06Hannah, absolutely gorgeous
01:14:08Like perfect song for you to choose
01:14:10And just the way, I mean, I know we say you made it your own
01:14:12But it, I mean, it sounded, it sounded like you
01:14:15It sounded beautiful
01:14:19Yeah, it, it made me forget I was judging on American Idol
01:14:24I was like, I mean, it was like I was at a performance
01:14:27At an awards show
01:14:28So it was really special
01:14:30Really special
01:14:30Thank you, I appreciate it
01:14:34As they said
01:14:36And so poised
01:14:37And so confident
01:14:38And so comfortable
01:14:39We were all drawn into that performance
01:14:42You should feel great about it
01:14:43Good work for you
01:14:43I appreciate it
01:14:45Praying for a bus
01:14:47Praying for a bus
01:14:48Praying for a bus
01:14:49Praying for that bus

01:15:12One more epic rock moment ahead
01:15:15Jordan McCullough
01:15:16With some Queen
01:15:19Live right after this
01:15:31We are back
01:15:33We are back
01:15:34Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night
01:15:35On Idol
01:15:36And we are closing out the performances
01:15:38With a beloved song
01:15:39From one of the greatest bands of all time
01:15:43Queen
01:15:43It is coming from Jordan McCullough
01:15:46Here we go
01:15:46Come on
01:15:46Come on
01:15:48For Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week
01:15:50I am going to be singing
01:15:51Somebody to Love by Queen
01:15:52This morning I get up
01:15:54I die a little
01:15:56Don't tell anyone
01:15:57But I just heard it for the first time yesterday
01:15:59And I kind of started to lose myself in the song
01:16:01Then when I opened my eyes and looked at them
01:16:03I lost everything
01:16:04So sorry
01:16:05Can I get the words actually?
01:16:07I want to do the song right
01:16:08I've done that
01:16:10Jordan knew most of it
01:16:11But he didn't have all the lyrics
01:16:13I wanted to find myself in rock and roll
01:16:15And I feel like me as a worship leader
01:16:17And predominantly singing gospel music
01:16:20You don't always see that in rock and roll
01:16:22Your motion on the stage
01:16:24You have to be that worship director
01:16:26Okay
01:16:27The song is a moment in church
01:16:28You have to command that stage
01:16:31Okay
01:16:31Take a look in the mirror and cry
01:16:34Jordan's instrument is incredible
01:16:37That's one of the examples of a person
01:16:39Who literally has control of the instrument
01:16:42And all you're going to do
01:16:43Is you're going to put those last little bits in there
01:16:45But just to tweak it a little bit
01:16:46Say I'm going crazy
01:16:48Pat and Neil told me to move around the stage
01:16:50And gave some really, really cool advice
01:16:52On how to command the stage
01:16:54Not losing yourself too much
01:16:58The power in his voice
01:16:59Is just sensational
01:17:01Okay, that's it
01:17:02I quit
01:17:02Well, did it
01:17:03What the hell
01:17:05Okay, I quit
01:17:05I'm not singing anymore ever
01:17:07That's weird
01:17:07I felt like I was in church
01:17:14Can anybody find me
01:17:18Somebody to love
01:17:27Each morning I get up
01:17:30I die
01:17:30Can barely stand on my feet
01:17:33Take a look in the mirror
01:17:37God, what are you doing to me
01:17:40Spin all my ears
