00:02:23We just did this not so long ago, right?
00:02:26Crazy.
00:02:27All from the beginning.
00:02:28Paula was here from day one.
00:02:30American Idol breaking records.
00:02:34We had such a great time together.
00:02:36I adore you.
00:02:38I adore you, too.
00:02:38So happy to see you.
00:02:39I'm so happy.
00:02:40So what do they got to do tonight for you?
00:02:42What are you looking for?
00:02:43I'm just so happy to be at my old home.
00:02:48And to see some of my children that are now grown and have kids, I feel like, and meeting the
00:02:57new hopefuls, just wanting for all of you to have the best time ever and leave your heart out there
00:03:04and carry out.
00:03:10It's going to be a great show tonight.
00:03:12Jamal Roberts is in the house with a performance.
00:03:16Plus, you're going to party like it's 2006 with the stars of that historic season.
00:03:20Bucky Covington over there.
00:03:21What a sick look.
00:03:23Elliot Yameen, Paris Bennett, and the winner, Taylor Hicks.
00:03:27But first, the mirror ball stilettos have been hung by the ceiling with care.
00:03:32It's our Dancing with the Stars collab featuring some of the greatest dances from the show.
00:03:37Here's the all-important voting information for your top five.
00:03:41Take a look.
00:03:41Get started now if you haven't already.
00:03:43Remember, tonight, you're voting for who you want to see compete in our star-studded finale next week.
00:03:48It's 10 votes per finalist per voting platform.
00:03:51Make sure you max them out.
00:03:52All your favorites.
00:03:54We've got the Dancing with the Stars pros here.
00:04:05They're taking the stage in just a second with Keela Richardson.
00:04:09But first, here's her time with Grammy-winning producer and idol legend, Randy Jackson.
00:04:17Let's go!
00:04:20What's going down?
00:04:21Hi, what's going down?
00:04:22Randy discovered a lot of artists.
00:04:24You know, Fantasia, Jennifer, and Carrie.
00:04:27Any advice he gives, I'm going to take it because he know a star when he see one.
00:04:31So what song are you singing?
00:04:33River Deep, Mountain High.
00:04:34Ooh, Great I Cantina.
00:04:36Yes, sir.
00:04:37You going to dance?
00:04:37I can't dance, but I'll figure it out.
00:04:40You're going to shake.
00:04:40I'm going to bust some money.
00:04:41Having the disser with the stars' disser, I think it's going to bring a different energy.
00:04:45I think it'll bring a different confidence knowing that it's just not you on the stage.
00:04:48It's like we're giving them a show now.
00:04:50I'm just going to try to get into it.
00:04:51You know what I mean?
00:04:52I'm trying to move with them.
00:04:53And it gets deeper.
00:04:56You know what I loved about this?
00:04:58You stayed on the melody.
00:04:59But you can't give it all to them all at once.
00:05:02Got to let it marinate, then make the run as big as you want.
00:05:06Baby, baby.
00:05:08You got it, man.
00:05:09Come on now.
00:05:10Are you in it to win it, Keela?
00:05:12I'm in it to win it.
00:05:13Ooh.
00:05:14Quick response.
00:05:16When I walked in for the audition, I was questioning, you know, if I did belong here.
00:05:21Hey, guys.
00:05:21I didn't have that confidence, but American Idol, this has changed my belief a lot about
00:05:26what's possible because from here, I do feel like I can reach the goal.
00:05:30You know, the goal is to win.
00:05:31This girl's ready, y'all.
00:05:35With her version of River Deep Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner, it's Keela Richardson.
00:05:48When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll.
00:05:54The only doll I've ever owned.
00:06:00Now I love you just the way I love that rag doll.
00:06:05But only now my love is grown.
00:06:09And if it's stronger anyway, and if it's higher in my day, do I love you?
00:06:25My old boy, in the dream mountain high.
00:06:34If I lost you, would I cry?
00:06:39Oh, how I love you, baby.
00:06:42Baby, baby, baby.
00:06:50And if it's stronger every day, and if it's deeper than me, and if it's higher day by day, do
00:07:09I love you?
00:07:11My old boy, in the dream mountain high.
00:07:20If it's stronger than me, and if it's stronger than me, and if it's stronger than me, and if it's
00:07:26stronger than me, I love you.
00:07:28Baby, baby, baby, baby.
00:07:32Now somebody make some noise.
00:07:48Good to have you.
00:07:49Nice to have you.
00:07:51Welcome to Ido.
00:07:53Looking good.
00:07:58Give it up for the Dancing with the Stars pros, everyone.
00:08:03Oh, I think they like you.
00:08:07Lionel, start us off.
00:08:09That's the way you start a show off.
00:08:11Right?
00:08:11You know, now what I love the most is the attitude.
00:08:15No matter what they're doing, that's your dance.
00:08:18Yes.
00:08:19There you go.
00:08:20Always remember, don't work too hard.
00:08:22Yes.
00:08:23But what you were sounding like was everything.
00:08:25I love the way you do your thing.
00:08:28Vote, everybody.
00:08:28Vote, vote, vote.
00:08:29Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:08:31Kila, it's such an honor and pleasure to meet you.
00:08:35And you don't have to do anything other than the Lionel step in that dress.
00:08:39It's beautiful.
00:08:40I have to tell you, your vocal range is like a weapon.
00:08:43You can go from a whisper to a thunderstorm.
00:08:46And it feels like every moment is inevitable.
00:08:49And that's the mark of a true performer.
00:08:51And your confidence is blooming so beautifully.
00:08:56I only have one little bit of criticism.
00:08:58And it's constructive.
00:09:00And it's this.
00:09:02Remember that your whisper has to be equally as dangerous as your top note.
00:09:08Yes, ma'am.
00:09:09That's it.
00:09:10You're beautiful.
00:09:10Thank you so much.
00:09:13I mean, Kila, you really are kicking us off on a high note.
00:09:18Your interactions with the dancers were perfect.
00:09:20I feel like tonight is such a great training ground for things that you guys are going to
00:09:25be doing for the rest of your careers.
00:09:27You're going to have like people doing stuff behind you on stage and having them not feel like there's you
00:09:33and then there's them that's separate.
00:09:35Like you guys are having fun together.
00:09:37And it made the audience have fun.
00:09:39And you sound great.
00:09:40You look gorgeous.
00:09:41All good things.
00:09:42Thank you, Gary.
00:09:47All of that was a lot for me to take in.
00:09:49I was just like, I was like, oh, wow.
00:09:52I mean, I didn't realize the energy.
00:09:54What are you staring at, Luke?
00:09:55Well, just the dancing and the energy.
00:09:57And I was realizing that I can't dance in that moment.
00:10:01It took tonight's episode to make you realize that?
00:10:04Yeah.
00:10:04But the main thing is you were the bot.
00:10:08You were the anchor of like just a crazy entertaining moment.
00:10:12It was like you're singing.
00:10:14I was just in the whole moment.
00:10:15I thought it was just a great moment of entertainment.
00:10:19So great job.
00:10:20Thank you, Luke.
00:10:20You are a star.
00:10:24What did the dancers bring to you for your performance?
00:10:28How did they help?
00:10:29It brought me a lot of energy and confidence.
00:10:31I enjoyed myself, you know, working the stage.
00:10:33You know, I'm not much of a dancer.
00:10:34But, you know, I had to do it because I had the dancers behind me.
00:10:37That's right.
00:10:37And you did do it.
00:10:38Be very careful, though.
00:10:39It's slippery with this confetti now that's on the floor when you move here.
00:10:42Okay?
00:10:43Keela wants to be in that grand finale next week.
00:10:46Make that happen by voting online and via social media.
00:10:50Text voting is available to subscribers with all wireless carriers.
00:10:53Keela, everyone.
00:10:55Thank you, Ryan.
00:10:55You love it.
00:11:02All right.
00:11:03On the other side, got a doubleheader in the form of Chris Tungset and Brayden Rumpfelt.
00:11:09Idol is back live right after this.
00:11:13Don't move.
00:11:25Welcome back to live American Idol.
00:11:28Still a ton of standout performances ahead.
00:11:31Thanks to our sponsor, Seven Brew, for keeping us energized all season long.
00:11:35Cleb and Riley are about to accompany Chris for his Noah Kahn song choice.
00:11:39But first, here's his super fan reaction to meeting the dog, Randy Jackson.
00:11:47Chris, what's happening, baby?
00:11:48How are you?
00:11:49Good to see you.
00:11:49Party starts right now.
00:11:50Chris is in the house.
00:11:51Good to see you.
00:11:52I grew up watching American Idol, so I was a little starstruck.
00:11:55I love you.
00:11:56I love you a lot.
00:11:57You're a smart man.
00:11:58I love you, bro.
00:11:59But listen, there's a guy that was a judge on this program a long time ago.
00:12:03I always ask the question, are you, Chris, in it to win it?
00:12:06Are you?
00:12:07James is in it to win it, America.
00:12:09Hayley is in it to win it.
00:12:10This guy's in it to win it, too.
00:12:13Someone pinch me.
00:12:14Is this my life?
00:12:15Is this real life?
00:12:16Like, you're in it to win it.
00:12:17I think so.
00:12:18No, no.
00:12:19You gotta say, I'm sure, yes.
00:12:21I'm sure, yes.
00:12:22For Dancing with the Stars, I'm singing a Noah Kahn song.
00:12:25If I get to.
00:12:26With an attitude.
00:12:27It's gonna be a lot of fun, too, to add a new element to the stage and hopefully bring it
00:12:31to life.
00:12:31I want them to feel like they're at a concert, you know?
00:12:33Forgive my nose and I did.
00:12:35What does this song mean to you, this lyric?
00:12:37This song is about brokenness, vulnerability, loss.
00:12:40In ways I've felt closed off, not ready to be vulnerable with people.
00:12:44And this show has really opened me up.
00:12:46That's what you should show.
00:12:48That vulnerability.
00:12:49So when you're out there looking into the audience, say that to them.
00:12:54So what you gonna do now that we're here?
00:12:57I'm gonna win this song.
00:12:58That's my boy right there.
00:13:02Singing Northern Attitude by Noah Kahn, this is Chris Tungset.
00:13:10If I get too close
00:13:14And I'm not on you
00:13:18Forgive my Northern Attitude
00:13:22Oh, I was raised out in the cold
00:13:25Oh, yeah
00:13:36Breathing in
00:13:38Breathing out
00:13:40How you been?
00:13:43Settled down
00:13:45Feeling right
00:13:46Feeling proud
00:13:48How you kids
00:13:51Well, are they now
00:13:53Settling
00:13:54To routine
00:13:57Well, you
00:13:59But does it mean
00:14:01One, two, three
00:14:04Hey!
00:14:06Yeah
00:14:15Yeah
00:14:18Come on
00:14:21If I get two girls
00:14:25And I'm not on you
00:14:29Forgive my Northern Attitude
00:14:33Oh, I was raised out in the cold
00:14:36If the sun don't rise
00:14:40Till the summertime
00:14:45Forgive my Northern Attitude
00:14:49Oh, I was raised out in the cold
00:15:07Right in love with their Foxtrot
00:15:09Chris Tungset, everybody
00:15:11How are you, Ryan?
00:15:15Gotta get you dancing
00:15:16Gotta get you moving
00:15:18Yeah
00:15:18Yeah, I should try that sometime
00:15:21Paula, what'd you think?
00:15:22Aw, Chris
00:15:23You have this beautiful
00:15:24Tender ache in your voice
00:15:26It's almost like
00:15:27Like you're letting us in
00:15:29On a secret
00:15:30That you finally trust us with
00:15:31And we're here to protect it
00:15:33Because it's beautiful
00:15:33Thank you
00:15:34I just didn't want you to smile
00:15:36So fast in this song
00:15:38Because
00:15:38Because it's nice to sometimes
00:15:40Let us soak
00:15:41And
00:15:42Marinate in the achiness
00:15:44Of the lyrics to the song
00:15:45But you just have that
00:15:47You just have that gorgeousness
00:15:48To your voice
00:15:49Yes
00:15:49Thank you so much
00:15:51If you're
00:15:52If you're looking at the two of us
00:15:56I am here to protect you
00:15:58I believe that
00:15:59I'm going to protect you
00:16:00And that song
00:16:01We believe you
00:16:01Yes
00:16:02Thank you
00:16:02Carrie
00:16:03I think that was a really good
00:16:06Vocal choice for you
00:16:08Chris
00:16:08You have a sneaky
00:16:11Soaring-ness to your voice
00:16:13And when you find the right songs
00:16:15And the right notes
00:16:17And like vowel sounds
00:16:18That you could really belt
00:16:19It just
00:16:20It just sounds nice
00:16:21It fills the room
00:16:22And kind of just
00:16:23It hits us in all the right places
00:16:25Thank you, Carrie
00:16:27Luke Bryan
00:16:28Yeah
00:16:30Even
00:16:31Even the like
00:16:32Soaring-ness
00:16:33Is a great analogy
00:16:34That Carrie brought up with
00:16:36And even when you were
00:16:37In the room with Randy
00:16:39We were watching that piece
00:16:40You were hitting
00:16:41Really, really
00:16:42Really big notes
00:16:43That we've seen you
00:16:45Get comfortable with
00:16:46In this competition
00:16:47So
00:16:48Like
00:16:49Ryan
00:16:49Let's don't get dancing
00:16:50Let's don't get ahead of dancing
00:16:51Let's let him get
00:16:52Keep hitting these big, big notes
00:16:54But you know, Chris
00:16:55You can throw some moves in there
00:16:57One of these days
00:16:57I'll give it a shot
00:16:58He's pretty smooth
00:17:00He's a smooth guy
00:17:02He played middle linebacker
00:17:03He's got moves
00:17:04Yeah, you know
00:17:05See, I
00:17:06I never thought I would hear
00:17:08The subliminal
00:17:10Paula come out
00:17:11She said
00:17:11Just don't give up the smile
00:17:13But what Paula was saying was
00:17:14Hold on to your ugly face
00:17:16As long as you can
00:17:17That's right
00:17:18And then
00:17:19Let it go
00:17:20You follow me?
00:17:21Yes, sir
00:17:21But other than that
00:17:22You were on point
00:17:23The fact is
00:17:23When the dancers came out
00:17:24It distracts you a little bit
00:17:26Because you were going
00:17:27What the heck is going on?
00:17:29But it was great
00:17:30Thank you so much, Lana

00:18:11Are you in it
00:18:12To win it, bro?
00:18:13I'm in it
00:18:14I wouldn't say that
00:18:15I wouldn't say that
00:18:15I'm in it
00:18:15You wouldn't say you're in it
00:18:16To win it
00:18:17I'm good with that
00:18:18You're not trying to win it?
00:18:19I mean, I'm trying to win it
00:18:21Yes
00:18:21But I just want to get
00:18:22Everything I can
00:18:23Are you in it
00:18:24To win it?
00:18:24Alright, we'll restart that
00:18:26I'm in it to win it
00:18:27Yes
00:18:28That's the answer
00:18:28I want to hear
00:18:29The Dancing with the Stars song
00:18:31That I'm going to be singing
00:18:31Is Lose Control
00:18:33By Teddy Swims
00:18:34Ooh, big song
00:18:35Teddy's a bad boy
00:18:36When I first heard
00:18:37That we were going to be
00:18:38Performing with pros
00:18:39I assumed
00:18:41That I was going to have
00:18:42To be dancing
00:18:42And singing with them
00:18:43I was distraught
00:18:46I was like
00:18:46This is going to be
00:18:47The worst thing
00:18:47And God
00:18:48That that's not the case
00:18:49I'm excited to see
00:18:50How it turns out
00:18:51I lose control
00:18:54When Brayden came in
00:18:55I was shocked
00:18:56That he was doing
00:18:56Lose Control
00:18:57That song may be
00:18:58A little too big for him
00:18:59See how you're standing
00:19:00With your hands
00:19:01In your pocket
00:19:02Most of the time
00:19:02No
00:19:04Oh, no
00:19:05Shake it all out, baby
00:19:06Shake it out
00:19:07Brayden's got to
00:19:08Get out of his head
00:19:08And find a real
00:19:09Emotional connection
00:19:10With these lyrics
00:19:11You think a lot, huh?
00:19:12I'm a thinker, yeah
00:19:13Stop thinking
00:19:14Feel
00:19:15You're right
00:19:15Brayden's got to
00:19:16Sell it to the public
00:19:17Maybe it might be
00:19:18A good thing for him
00:19:19To lose control
00:19:20You know
00:19:20Out of his head
00:19:21And into his soul, brother
00:19:26Performing Lose Control
00:19:28By Teddy Swings
00:19:29Please welcome
00:19:30Brayden Rumfeld
00:19:37Something's got a hold
00:19:38Of me lately
00:19:40Oh, I don't know
00:19:41Myself anymore
00:19:46Feels like the walls
00:19:48Are all closing in
00:19:49And the devil's knocking
00:19:51At my door
00:19:53Oh
00:19:53And out of my mind
00:19:56How many times
00:19:57Did I tell you
00:19:58I'm no good at drinking
00:20:01Love
00:20:03Is taking a toll on me
00:20:05Trying my best
00:20:07To keep from tearing
00:20:09The skin off my bones
00:20:11Don't you know
00:20:13Don't you know
00:20:14I lose control
00:20:17Oh
00:20:20If you're not next to me
00:20:25I'm falling apart
00:20:27Right in front of you
00:20:29Can't you see
00:20:31I lose control
00:20:36I lose control
00:20:37I lose control
00:20:38When you're not next to me
00:20:43You're breaking my heart
00:20:46Baby
00:20:46You make the best of me
00:20:49Problematic
00:20:51Problematic
00:20:52Problem is
00:20:53When I'm with you
00:20:54I'm at it
00:20:55Oh
00:20:56And I need some relief
00:20:58My skin in your teeth
00:21:00Can't see the forest
00:21:02Through the trees
00:21:03Got me down on my knees
00:21:05Down in the knees
00:21:06Oh
00:21:07I lose control
00:21:14When you're not here with me
00:21:19You're breaking my heart
00:21:22Baby
00:21:22You make a mess of me
00:21:26Yeah
00:21:46Yawn and Whitney
00:21:49You guys look great
00:21:52Brayden everyone
00:21:55I like their wardrobe
00:21:58You know
00:21:59When I first started
00:22:00This situation out
00:22:01I
00:22:02I kind of told them
00:22:03I was like
00:22:03You know
00:22:04I kind of want to dress
00:22:04A little bit like
00:22:05Ryan Seacrest does
00:22:08Not anymore
00:22:09Well
00:22:09They took that
00:22:11They took your style
00:22:12And then put a bunch
00:22:13Of big colors onto it
00:22:14So that's what we're doing
00:22:15It looks great
00:22:17You looked a part
00:22:18Alright Carrie
00:22:19You kick it off this time
00:22:21I'm sorry
00:22:22I'm just a little
00:22:23Distracted right now
00:22:27I'm going to look this way
00:22:30Thank God
00:22:31Sorry Luke
00:22:31I think Randy
00:22:33Gave you some really
00:22:35Really good advice
00:22:36And I mean
00:22:36It's not about
00:22:37Like dancing
00:22:38But it is about
00:22:39Kind of singing
00:22:40With your whole body
00:22:41And I feel like
00:22:42You are on your way
00:22:43I feel like we see
00:22:43Little more and more
00:22:44Glimpses of that
00:22:45From you every single week
00:22:46But you don't have to
00:22:48Like
00:22:48Like even just little
00:22:49Like little shoulders
00:22:50You know
00:22:51Like lean a little bit
00:22:52Like you got
00:22:53You got some sexy
00:22:54Braden in there
00:22:55Like let it out
00:22:56Let's see the shoulders
00:22:57Come on
00:22:57I can't do it
00:22:58You're doing no shoulders
00:22:59And see what happens
00:23:01Yeah I mean
00:23:02Swag it up
00:23:03Get some
00:23:04Just get some
00:23:05Like Lionel says
00:23:06Stank face
00:23:07Put some stank on it
00:23:08Ugly face
00:23:08Ugly face
00:23:09Ugly face
00:23:10I mean I don't know
00:23:11Between the
00:23:12What did you say
00:23:13I said
00:23:13You can't say stank face
00:23:15It's ugly face
00:23:18Well I mean like
00:23:19I'm just listening
00:23:20To you sing
00:23:20There's dancers
00:23:21I mean Ryan's been backstage
00:23:23Obviously doing a lot
00:23:24Of pushups
00:23:25And things are
00:23:27Things
00:23:28It's just too much
00:23:28For me
00:23:29But love the performance
00:23:30I'm loving this night
00:23:31This is fun
00:23:31This is like
00:23:32Sensory overload
00:23:36Lionel
00:23:37This
00:23:39This is
00:23:40This night
00:23:41Obviously
00:23:41Has affected you
00:23:43Ryan
00:23:43In a lot of ways

00:23:45What's going to come
00:23:46It's true
00:23:46You're welcome
00:23:47You understand
00:23:48You're welcome

00:23:49The advice
00:23:50That I always like to give
00:23:51Because
00:23:51You're thinking too much
00:23:53When you think too much
00:23:54Here's the thing
00:23:54You always remember
00:23:55You can't mess up
00:23:56The crowd
00:23:58Did not
00:23:58Come to rehearsal
00:24:00So whatever you do
00:24:02They're looking for that
00:24:03So just relax
00:24:05Enjoy it
00:24:06Be in the moment
00:24:07Let it go
00:24:08Because you got
00:24:08The voice to do it

00:24:13I have to tell you
00:24:14I absolutely
00:24:16Love your voice
00:24:18Especially that
00:24:19Mid-warm range
00:24:20Of your voice
00:24:21It makes me feel
00:24:22Like I'm wrapped
00:24:22In the coziest blanket
00:24:24And I love it
00:24:25I do
00:24:25Bring
00:24:26You just
00:24:28You're so talented
00:24:29I just want to give you
00:24:31That sense
00:24:32Own the stage
00:24:33Like your voice
00:24:34Can fill arenas
00:24:35But I feel like
00:24:36You're out there
00:24:37Standing in the wings
00:24:39And I need you
00:24:40To believe in yourself
00:24:41And I need you
00:24:42To study the camera
00:24:45Stare down the barrel
00:24:46Of the camera
00:24:47We don't want to lose you
00:24:48Especially when your eyes
00:24:50Wander
00:24:50It's like
00:24:51Like where's our Braden
00:24:53So I'm in love with you

00:26:33Things I've had
00:26:33All day
00:26:34From these kids
00:26:35What's going on
00:26:35I'm honored to meet you
00:26:36You're awesome
00:26:37I didn't have live TV
00:26:38But we would look up
00:26:39American Idol
00:26:40Fail auditions
00:26:41And so when they were like
00:26:42Randy Jackson's
00:26:43Going to be a mentor
00:26:44I was like
00:26:44I'm going to get
00:26:45Ripped to shreds
00:26:46Uh no
00:26:46You can't sing at all
00:26:48No
00:26:48I was terrified
00:26:49No
00:26:50I'm a music fan
00:26:51It's just me
00:26:52I love singers
00:26:53I love this
00:26:54So Dancing with the Stars
00:26:55Round
00:26:55Riley and Yon
00:26:56Are my dancers
00:26:57I'm really excited
00:26:58To get to watch them
00:26:58I think I'm going to be
00:26:59So excited
00:26:59I'm going to forget
00:27:00The words
00:27:00And I'm just going
00:27:01To be watching
00:27:01You know
00:27:02So what are you singing
00:27:03I'm singing Fever
00:27:04By Peggy Lee
00:27:06Hannah told me
00:27:07She's doing Fever
00:27:08Didn't like that idea
00:27:09At all
00:27:10Never know
00:27:11How much
00:27:12I love you
00:27:13I think Randy
00:27:14Was shocked
00:27:14He was like
00:27:15What in the world
00:27:16Like are you sure
00:27:17You want to do this song
00:27:18Harley bear
00:27:18You give me fever
00:27:21Uh
00:27:21Well the other song choices
00:27:23So basically
00:27:24You're telling me
00:27:25That you hate fever
00:27:25No no no
00:27:27Listen oddly enough
00:27:28You sound great on it
00:27:29Thank you
00:27:29Shows a different side
00:27:31Of your voice
00:27:31I don't think
00:27:32That people know
00:27:32Who they are
00:27:33Yeah
00:27:33I think that lyric
00:27:34Is not what she
00:27:35Would normally do
00:27:36So I said
00:27:37Listen sing this
00:27:37To your husband
00:27:38I gotta sing it
00:27:39About him
00:27:39Yes I'm saying
00:27:40He'd be mad
00:27:40If I sung it
00:27:41About somebody else
00:27:41I like you
00:27:43I like you
00:27:44That's funny
00:27:44I think yeah
00:27:45The song could trip her up
00:27:47She just has to
00:27:48Give in to it
00:27:51With the Peggy Lee
00:27:52Classic fever
00:27:53Here's Hannah Harper
00:28:01Never know how much
00:28:03I love you
00:28:05Never know how much
00:28:06I care
00:28:08When you put your arms
00:28:10Around me
00:28:11I get a fever
00:28:13That's so hard to bear
00:28:15You give me fever
00:28:18When you touch me
00:28:20Fever
00:28:21When you hold me tight
00:28:24Fever
00:28:26In the morning
00:28:28Fever
00:28:29All through the night
00:28:36Captain Smith
00:28:37And Pocahontas
00:28:39Had a very mad affair
00:28:43When her daddy
00:28:45Tried to kill him
00:28:47He said
00:28:47Daddy
00:28:48Oh
00:28:48Won't you dare
00:28:50He gives me fever
00:28:51Fever
00:28:52I'm his
00:28:54Mrs. Daddy
00:28:56Won't you treat him right
00:29:14Now you listen to my story
00:29:18Here's the point that I have made
00:29:22Chicks were born to give you fever
00:29:25Being fair and hot
00:29:27Or centigrade
00:29:28They give you fever
00:29:32When you kiss them
00:29:34Fever
00:29:35If you live your own
00:29:38Fever
00:29:40Till you sizzle
00:29:41What a lovely way to burn
00:29:44Oh what a lovely way to burn
00:29:49What a lovely way to burn
00:30:05Give it up for Yon and Wiley
00:30:07Hannah Harper
00:30:08Everyone
00:30:08As well
00:30:11Hi
00:30:12Hey
00:30:13All right Luke
00:30:15Your thoughts
00:30:16I thought
00:30:17I thought it was
00:30:18Oh here they go
00:30:22I thought it was incredible
00:30:24I thought it was
00:30:26So uniquely different
00:30:28For me
00:30:28For you
00:30:29It was sexy
00:30:30It was sultry
00:30:31I needed a martini
00:30:32While I was watching
00:30:34And but I love that
00:30:35It was
00:30:36It was not what we expected
00:30:37From you
00:30:38Way to surprise
00:30:38It's great job
00:30:39Thank you
00:30:40Nice
00:30:41Lionel
00:30:42You know
00:30:42A little
00:30:44A little jazz
00:30:45A little country
00:30:47Shake it and stir
00:30:48You know what I'm saying
00:30:49Barbecue sauce
00:30:50By the way
00:30:50That was exactly
00:30:51What was needed
00:30:51Take us out of that
00:30:53Little mode of what
00:30:54We know you for
00:30:55And surprise us
00:30:56You did just that
00:30:57Thank you
00:30:58Fantastic
00:30:58Hannah
00:31:01So lovely to meet you
00:31:03You need to know this
00:31:05There is nobody
00:31:06Not anybody
00:31:07That sounds like you
00:31:08In this competition
00:31:11And it's beautiful
00:31:12To see how America
00:31:14Has become so invested
00:31:16In you
00:31:17You are lovely
00:31:18To look at
00:31:18You are lovely
00:31:19To listen to
00:31:20Have
00:31:21Like I was so excited
00:31:22That you did
00:31:23Pick fever
00:31:24You know
00:31:24When you have a
00:31:26Microphone in a stand
00:31:27You have the freedom
00:31:28You don't have to
00:31:29Touch the stand
00:31:30And I am not
00:31:31A big believer
00:31:32Of women having
00:31:32Being overly sexual
00:31:34I think it's gross
00:31:35But the simplicity
00:31:37Of just looking
00:31:38And the sexiness
00:31:39And the wink
00:31:40Of knowing that
00:31:41Or a little shoulder
00:31:42Sells it
00:31:42And you did that
00:31:43And I was really proud
00:31:44Of you
00:31:45Thank you

00:38:08Well, you know, it's always wonderful
00:38:10But I have a new phrase now
00:38:12See, you do what we call
00:38:14Spinal cord singing
00:38:16In other words
00:38:17It just goes right to your spinal cord
00:38:19And then your body just breaks down
00:38:22Let the congregation say
00:38:24Amen
00:38:28Jordan, Jordan, I love you
00:38:30I speak too much
00:38:31And I have to keep this quick

00:50:53And it worked because you guys both are professionals,
00:50:56you sound incredible,
00:50:57you guys were both just having a good time.
00:50:59I vote for Taylor on the next season.
00:51:02There you go.
00:51:04I think that would be so much fun.
00:51:05Tonight, this is the funnest night.
00:51:09Yeah, the energy of that was just really how you guys
00:51:13kind of married that energy.
00:51:15And Taylor, man, I'm coming to,
00:51:16I'm looking up your show schedule
00:51:18because I'm going to come see one.
00:51:20I mean, your energy and then,
00:51:22it elevated Keyless game.
00:51:24And that's what this night is about.
00:51:26I loved every second of it.
00:51:29Great energy.
00:51:30So, so, now, now Taylor,
00:51:33Taylor, you brought, you brought the true ugly face.
00:51:36The ugly face.
00:51:37It was there.
00:51:38But now, I'm going to bring a new word
00:51:40to American Idol.
00:51:41That was stupid.
00:51:44Stupid!
00:51:45Stupid!
00:51:46Stupid!
00:51:47Stupid!
00:51:50Taylor and Keyla,
00:51:52you were having a good time, weren't you?
00:51:54I had a good time.
00:51:54It's contagious.
00:51:55Everything he does.
00:51:57It is.
00:51:58Okay.
00:51:58We did see the moves.
00:52:00You should be on Dancing with the Stars.
00:52:03The boss of Dancing with the Stars,
00:52:05Rob Mills, is here right now.
00:52:07I need to go talk to him.
00:52:09So, Rob, you have a meeting with this guy after the show.
00:52:12Great to see you, buddy.
00:52:14A lot of fun.

00:52:41Next, it's a Garth Brooks classic coming from former Top 8 finalist Bucky Covington
00:52:46and Chris Tungsten.
00:52:50My dual partner is Bucky Covington.
00:52:52Bucky Covington has gorgeous hair.
00:52:55What's up, brother?
00:52:56Strong beard.
00:52:57Looking at a picture of him, I was like, he looks familiar.
00:53:00And I was like, that's a handsome devil, though.
00:53:02So, I'm excited to meet him, and his voice is incredible.
00:53:05Well, I've been enjoying watching you, man.
00:53:07I was very excited.
00:53:08They said we're going to be doing a duet.
00:53:10So, you happy about the song?
00:53:11Yeah, I am.
00:53:12This week, I'll be singing The Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks,
00:53:15and it's going to be a lot of fun.
00:53:16That was my favorite song I did when I was on Idol.
00:53:19I want to sing more country songs, but I haven't yet.
00:53:22So, it's kind of fun to have you come and kind of show me the ropes,
00:53:25what you did and how you kind of went through your lane.
00:53:27My goal here is I want to make sure to get you in the top three,
00:53:31and I want to make sure I come back as a judge.
00:53:33Yeah!
00:53:35That's good.
00:53:37We're going to have so much fun.
00:53:38Let's go have fun.
00:53:39Let's do it, baby.
00:53:40I appreciate you.
00:53:43Bucky's the perfect person for me to sing with,
00:53:45just because he's got such a sweet rock vibe,
00:53:47and I want to lean into that this week.
00:53:49Like, I want this to be big, and he knows how to make it big.
00:53:53I think Chris could make it into the top three without me here.
00:53:57But I hope I don't hurt.
00:54:083.30 in the morning, not a soul in sight.
00:54:14City's looking like a ghost town on a moonless summer night.
00:54:20The rain drops on the windshield, there's a storm moving in.
00:54:26He's heading back from somewhere that he never should have been.
00:54:30in the thunderbolt the ice helpful to her.
00:54:38In the thunderbolt
00:54:40The air is burning in the house across town.
00:54:50She's pacing by the telephone
00:54:53If every flannel gap
00:54:55She's asking for a miracle
00:54:59Hoping she's not right

01:07:39Will be mentored
01:07:40By the one and only
01:07:42Alicia Keys
01:07:43She will also be performing
01:07:46So be here
01:07:47Next Monday night
01:07:48Starting at 8, 7 central
01:07:51Here's Hannah Harper
01:07:52Prepping for her duets
01:07:53With Kelly Pickler
01:07:57Hey
01:07:58How are you?
01:08:00Kelly Pickler is incredible
01:08:02I think that she is
01:08:03An angel baby
01:08:04And you just had Randy
01:08:05As a mentor right?
01:08:06I did
01:08:06Isn't he wonderful?
01:08:07He was amazing
01:08:08He was so excited
01:08:09He was like
01:08:09Who's your duet partner?
01:08:10And I said Kelly Pickler
01:08:11Pickles
01:08:12Oh my god
01:08:13We love her
01:08:13We love Pickles
01:08:15He was like
01:08:16Pickles
01:08:17Yes
01:08:17He nicknamed me Pickles
01:08:18For the duet round
01:08:20I'm doing A Broken Wing
01:08:21By Martina McBride
01:08:22This was my audition song
01:08:25A Broken Wing
01:08:27Is a very challenging song
01:08:28It starts off
01:08:29At a really low register
01:08:30And then it just
01:08:30Jumps all the way up
01:08:31I'm scared
01:08:32No
01:08:33I'm scared
01:08:34It definitely gets high
01:08:34And you know it gets high
01:08:36Well it's Martina
01:08:37It's Martina
01:08:37Yeah
01:08:37And she cuts it
01:08:39And acts like it's nothing
01:08:40It's something
01:08:41I've not really explored
01:08:42Much of my range
01:08:43Since I've been on the competition
01:08:44So this is going to stretch me
01:08:46Big time
01:08:49I'm taking all the risks this week
01:08:51And I'm giving it all I got
01:08:53You're here
01:08:54Because you're supposed to be here
01:08:56And you work hard
01:08:56And you sound amazing
01:08:57Thank you
01:08:58And this is your moment
01:08:59So on it
01:09:09She loved him like he was
01:09:12The last man on earth
01:09:16Gave him everything
01:09:19She ever had
01:09:24He'd break her spirit down
01:09:26Then come lovin' up on her
01:09:31Give a little
01:09:33Then take it back
01:09:38She'd tell him about her dreams
01:09:42And he'd just shoot him down
01:09:46Lord, in love, won't you make her cry
01:09:52You're crazy for believing
01:09:56You'll never leave the grave
01:09:59You see only angels know how to fly
01:10:07And with a broken wing
01:10:10She still sings
01:10:14She keeps an eye over the sky
01:10:21With a broken wing
01:10:25She carries her dreams
01:10:29Man, you want to see her fly
01:10:36And with a broken wing
01:10:39She still sings
01:10:42She keeps an eye over the sky
01:10:50She keeps an eye over the sky
01:10:51With a broken wing
01:10:54She carries her dreams
01:10:58Man, you want to see her fly
01:11:05With a broken wing
01:11:08She carries her dreams
01:11:12She carries her dreams
01:11:13Then you want to see her fly
01:11:25With a broken wing
01:11:28Oh, yeah
01:11:35Oh, so now
01:11:48All I can say
01:11:50All I can say is
01:11:53The perfect voice blend

01:11:57The two of you together
01:11:58Make one dynamic performance
01:12:00Incredible

01:12:35And it's magical
01:12:37That was magical
01:12:40Yeah, I mean

01:12:43Feed off one another
01:12:44Pickler

01:12:50Dusting off
01:12:51Well, I mean
01:12:52Go ahead, go ahead
01:12:54Being able to share
01:12:55The stage with you
01:12:55Has been such
01:12:56Such a blessing

01:13:29To be a part of it

01:13:31And there was a little risk
01:13:32In that, as you acknowledged
01:13:33You took the risk
01:13:35And it paid off
01:13:36Feels accomplished, right?
