00:00:01Tonight, it's the conclusion of Hollywood Week, Music City Takeover.
00:00:08With the biggest cut in Idol history ahead of us, the bar has been set at an all-time high.
00:00:14I just, I'm capable of more.
00:00:16The top-notch talent continues to take the stage in hopes of becoming part of the top 30.
00:00:24He may win.
00:00:25I tried to do the best that I could.
00:00:27It's almost like she's given up.
00:00:35This is American Idol.
00:00:42After leaving it all on the stage,
00:00:48early standouts, Brayden,
00:00:51Chloe,
00:00:56Jake
00:00:57and Chris
00:01:05are about to get their results.
00:01:09All of you have done amazing work.
00:01:14Having said that,
00:01:17will the following people step forward?
00:01:19Jake
00:01:24Brianna
00:01:28Brayden
00:01:31Chris
00:01:37and Chloe
00:01:44this is something we are charged with doing, so
00:01:49front row
00:01:52you should be very proud of how far you've come.
00:01:57but for now, your journey
00:02:02it's not over yet.
00:02:05You're going through to the next round.
00:02:08Back row, thank you so much for your talent.
00:02:14So five more hopefuls can celebrate in the all-new Golden Room.
00:02:19Holy crap, how did I just do that?
00:02:23Where they'll join the others who survived the judges' first cuts.
00:02:27But in here, all they can do is wait until the end of the round,
00:02:30when the judges review all the performances in order to pare it down to this season's top 30.
00:02:36It would be tough to go home tonight.
00:02:39I don't want this to end, and I also don't want to be done.
00:02:42I want to keep singing.
00:02:44But how would the pressure land on 19-year-old Jesse Finlay?
00:02:50It is insane to be here at Hollywood Week, you know, after my audition with how well it went.
00:02:56Now you're in the stars
00:02:58And six feet's never found so far
00:03:01Every time it's the light
00:03:03We just haven't had voices like yours coming through those doors.
00:03:08I've always known that I can sing, but to get that level of validation and praise,
00:03:14it was an insane feeling.
00:03:16I'm going to be singing Love in the Dark by Adele.
00:03:19When I was younger and when I watched American Idol,
00:03:21Love in the Dark was one of those songs that I was like,
00:03:24I want to sing that on this show one day.
00:03:25I do feel a little bit of pressure.
00:03:29The audition was just in front of the three judges,
00:03:32And now it's in front of a thousand people.
00:03:35So the stakes are definitely higher.
00:03:49Take your eyes off of me, so I can be far too ashamed to do it with you watching me.
00:04:06Please stay where you are.
00:04:11Don't come any closer.
00:04:16Wow.
00:04:16Don't try to change my mind.
00:04:20I'm being cruel to be kind.
00:04:25I can't love you in the dark.
00:04:33It feels like we're oceans apart.
00:04:44There's so much space between us.
00:04:48Baby, we're already defeated.
00:04:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:04:58Everything changed me.
00:05:02We're not the only ones.
00:05:05I don't regret a thing.
00:05:07Every word I've said, you know I'll always mean.
00:05:12It is the world to me that you are in my life.
00:05:16I want to live and not survive.
00:05:28That's why I can't love you in the dark.
00:05:38I want to live and not survive.
00:06:08There's so many things I wanted to say
00:06:10that I was trying to kick you out of the room
00:06:11because I'm so jealous of you.
00:06:13But your first note,
00:06:15Carrie started drawing hearts everywhere.
00:06:18No kidding.
00:06:19And what a pro-dynamic of singing.
00:06:23And you are so deserving of this time in your life
00:06:27right now to be discovered on this platform.
00:06:30And I'm so excited to see your future.
00:06:38While Jesse waits for his result,
00:06:40the spotlight now belongs to his fellow hopefuls,
00:06:44including 29-year-old singer-songwriter,
00:06:46Kendall Inskeep.
00:06:49Usually when I take the stage,
00:06:50it takes a couple songs for me to get comfortable.
00:06:52So it's such a challenge this week
00:06:54because you only have one shot
00:06:55to really be authentic to who you are.
00:06:58I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:07:01My mom sang Worship in the Church,
00:07:04and we would sing together.
00:07:06So that's kind of like where my love for music came from
00:07:09is my mom.
00:07:10I moved almost eight years ago to Nashville.
00:07:13I actually came to Belmont.
00:07:14Came here for maybe 60 days.
00:07:17But we are still alumni,
00:07:18and we're here for only 60 days.
00:07:20This week, I'm singing Human by The Killers.
00:07:25All right. Bye-bye.
00:07:26The song is a little bit more lively.
00:07:28I'm not going to have a guitar in my hand,
00:07:29so it's not really in my comfort zone.
00:07:32Um, how are you feeling?
00:07:34A little nervy.
00:07:35You're nervous?
00:07:35I get that a little bit.
00:07:37But this is a really great opportunity
00:07:39for me to really show I can also be free-spirited
00:07:44and fun and joyful in my performance.
00:07:47So I'm ready to step out on that stage.
00:07:51Whoo!
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:56I did my best to notice
00:08:00When the call came down to wind
00:08:03Up to the platform of surrender
00:08:07I was broad, but I was kind
00:08:11Sometimes I get nervous
00:08:14When I see an open door
00:08:17Close your eyes
00:08:21Clear your heart
00:08:25Cut the cord
00:08:27Are we here?
00:08:30Or are we dancers?
00:08:34My sign is vital
00:08:37My hands are cold
00:08:40And I'm on my knees
00:08:43Looking for the answer
00:08:46Are we human?
00:08:50Or are we dancers?
00:08:54Will your sister be alright
00:08:59When you held me down in line
00:09:01There's no message we're receiving
00:09:06Don't you know it's in your heart beating
00:09:11Are we human?
00:09:14Are we dancers?
00:09:18Are we dancers?
00:09:20Are we dads, who knows people who know them
00:09:21My hands are cold
00:09:24And the almighty is looking at the answer
00:09:32Are we human?
00:09:35Or are we dancers?
00:09:39Are we here?
00:09:43Or are we dancers?
00:09:55You got such a cool voice, Kendall.
00:09:58Thank you so much.
00:09:59And I love how this time you switched it up
00:10:01and you kind of gave us this pop rock vibe
00:10:03that, you know, it was a lot more energetic
00:10:06and you felt comfortable in both spaces.
00:10:09I think you should be really proud of that.
00:10:11Thank you so much.
00:10:13I love her. I love her.
00:10:15That voice you got, oh my God, I love her.
00:10:17It's cool and she's comfortable.
00:10:18She's so comfortable.
00:10:20Oh, I can, I'm going to cry because I'm going to cry
00:10:26because I just, like, was so nervous going on.
00:10:30I'm very happy with the way that I just went.
00:10:34Now it's time for Kendall and Jessie to see
00:10:37if they've done enough to survive the first round of cuts.
00:10:41Would the following people please step forward?
00:10:45Jessie.
00:10:47Kendall.
00:10:50You are still in the running to become the next American Idol.
00:11:03Tonight has just been the best night of my life.
00:11:07So proud of you, man.
00:11:08I just can't believe it.
00:11:10I'm so excited.
00:11:11I am so excited and I'm so grateful that this just happened right now.
00:11:20Tonight, the Hollywood Week Music City Takeover comes to a close.
00:11:25Music City, what's up, Nashville?
00:11:27It'll be anything but easy to get there.
00:11:30Everyone's fighting for their lives in here.
00:11:32I'm just not sure that was the right song.
00:11:33Bring it on!
00:11:35I love it!
00:11:36Your booze are feeding me.
00:11:38Stay tuned to see more of your favorites.
00:11:40It's a voice that will become so recognizable in years to come.
00:11:45If you were thinking about winning, just keep doing that.
00:11:48And by the end of the night, your top 30 will be revealed.
00:11:52We got more bloodshed coming.
00:11:54We have some sing-offs.
00:12:01Carrie, how is Hollywood Week in Music City going?
00:12:04Hollywood Week in Music City is exciting and it's drama and it's stressful.
00:12:09It's very difficult because we got to get rid of so many wonderful kids, but I'm telling
00:12:14you, we're finding stars.
00:12:16Stars.
00:12:17Are you guys ready?
00:12:18Everyone out here is mind-blowing, so my nerves are definitely, definitely up now.
00:12:24I never would have thought I would be right here ever.
00:12:28It's just kind of a dream that I don't realize that I'm living.
00:12:30This is a huge opportunity for me.
00:12:32Coming to the stage, here's Cutter Bradley!
00:12:36I've moved away from home to do this dream, kind of left everything behind, and so I want
00:12:41to stay really bad.
00:12:49I woke up in my booze this morning, fell asleep in my booze last night, I had a feeling that
00:13:09I knew I wouldn't have to take the time putting them back on when I'm sober.
00:13:21Yeah, I knew you'd be pissed off over me, and I'd just be hungover and cold.
00:13:28And I didn't need to take them off, nah.
00:13:31And I woke up in my booze this morning.
00:13:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:41Thank you, thank you.
00:13:42I feel like you've got, like, a solid voice.
00:13:45I feel like you've got a big range.
00:13:47You were like a lion, like, pacing back and forth, like, getting ready to, like, bust out
00:13:52of the cage.
00:13:53Easy, easy, easy.
00:13:54It was good.
00:13:54Slow down, slow down, slow down.
00:13:56It was good.
00:13:57It was good.
00:13:59Thank you all.
00:14:02This microphone is revealing a lot of singers now.
00:14:10So happy to be here.
00:14:11My name is Julian Kalel Almanzan.
00:14:13I'm from El Paso, Texas.
00:14:15I'm going to be singing.
00:14:16I'm going to be singing I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.
00:14:19Good song.
00:14:19And I want to be the next American Idol because I want to show that your story, your pain,
00:14:25can be used to be your greatest power.
00:14:27Absolutely.
00:14:32Well, I feel really, really lucky to be here in Hollywood Week.
00:14:36I'm still processing even being here.
00:14:39Welcome back.
00:14:41Last year, I wasn't able to experience this round because of my mental health.
00:14:47You were born enough.
00:14:50I feel proud of myself for making it here.
00:14:54I've done a lot of growing, a lot of learning.
00:14:57And so this year, I'm definitely feeling much more well-prepared and confident.
00:15:02But I'm always nervous.
00:15:04I mean, why wouldn't you be nervous in Hollywood Week?
00:15:08Up until this point, I've only performed my own songs.
00:15:11Tell me how you're thinking about this first cover for us.
00:15:15I'm really pushing myself with this one.
00:15:16It takes a different kind of connection to bring out emotion for a song that you're covering.
00:15:23It demands more of me, so the pressure's on.
00:15:29Pretty nerve-wracking just thinking about it, honestly.
00:15:31But I just thought, you know, I'd regret it if I showed up to Hollywood Week and I didn't push
00:15:35myself.
00:15:38Turn down the light
00:15:41Turn down the bed
00:15:45Turn down these voices
00:15:49Inside my head
00:15:53Lay down with me
00:15:56Tell me no lies
00:15:59Just hold me close
00:16:04Don't patronize
00:16:07Don't patronize me
00:16:15Cause I can make you love me if you don't
00:16:22You can make your heart feel
00:16:28Something in the dark
00:16:32Here in the dark
00:16:35These final hours
00:16:39I will lay down my heart
00:16:42And I'll feel the power
00:16:46And I'll feel the power
00:16:47And I'll feel the power
00:17:00But you won't
00:17:23You won't
00:17:25But you won't
00:17:29You won't
00:17:36I'll feel the power
00:17:42You won't
00:17:42Just hold me close
00:17:43You smile and your smile was so big you almost couldn't sing the next line
00:17:50We feel very big things for you in the future and
00:17:54That was the first of many great experiences for you, and we're just glad we get to watch
00:18:15I feel like every time I go on stage
00:18:18I still struggle with that self-doubt and I just get proven wrong every single time and it's really starting
00:18:23to feel like a blessing and
00:18:25I'm not ready to go home. Not at all. Why am I so nervous? I know right?
00:18:31Not easy
00:18:33Cutter
00:18:36Julian
00:18:39You are still chasing that American Idol dream
00:18:50Is it a whirlwind for you it's more than a whirlwind it's magic it's actual magic
00:18:55I don't think my heart's ever been this full in my entire life
00:18:58Oh
00:19:02Welcome back to American Idol where Professor Kerry's Hollywood week lessons have some students turning against her
00:19:10I'm not sure if that was the right song
00:19:14They just like to boo me there were notes that were just like
00:19:19Awesome, and then I was hearing some that I was like what's happening right now
00:19:23So I'm kind of like I'm it
00:19:27I heard it too I heard it too
00:19:29I'm just not sure that was the right song
00:19:31She only won this she knows
00:19:33You're not included in the discussion
00:19:39But mr. Bryan seems to have been given a whole pass it was a little shaky to start
00:19:44I think make sure you do songs that really showcase that grit that you have
00:19:48Thank you so much
00:19:49Thank you
00:19:51Why don't they boo you?
00:19:54You know I'm trying to get booed
00:19:56Ask them
00:19:56You're not gonna boo him?
00:19:58You're not gonna boo Luke?
00:20:04I'm getting used to it
00:20:06I'm getting used to it
00:20:08Hoping to get on Kerry's good side by living up to his name
00:20:11Stand by Luke
00:20:12Stand by Luke
00:20:13Stand by Luke
00:20:13Stand by Luke
00:20:14Is 24 year old true the star
00:20:19My first audition that's on the ballot
00:20:21So I really didn't get a chance to show my personality as much as I wanted to
00:20:25And how are you working on it?
00:20:28Just being myself
00:20:29The song I will be singing is Love and Happiness by Al Green
00:20:32It shows my personality and how I like to move around and perform
00:20:37It's more about being true instead of me 100%
00:20:40Well go have some fun, be you and let's get it done
00:20:43Come on y'all!
00:20:49Something's going wrong
00:20:51Someone's on the phone line up
00:20:533 o'clock in the morning
00:20:55Yeah, yeah
00:20:58Talking about
00:21:01How she can make it right
00:21:03You better know what I'm talking about
00:21:04All I have to say is
00:21:07Love and Happiness
00:21:09Wait a minute
00:21:10Make you do right
00:21:13Yeah
00:21:14Love can make you do wrong
00:21:18Yeah
00:21:19More for love I said
00:21:23All right
00:21:24All I have to say is
00:21:27Love and Happiness
00:21:29Come on!
00:21:32Ha!
00:21:32Love and Happiness
00:21:36Ha!
00:21:37Love and Happiness
00:21:39Woo!
00:21:46Love and Happiness
00:21:49In my happy name
00:21:52Woo!
00:21:54Woo!
00:22:06Well, your name is True the Star, and you get a band, and then you start getting choreography
00:22:13and swagger, but the song didn't necessarily show everybody how great and dynamic your
00:22:22voice is, but it showed us how dynamic you are as an artist.
00:22:28Keep being yourself.
00:22:33The adrenaline hits pumping right now.
00:22:35I've had a breath, but it was good.
00:22:38The song just kind of, no, it's a wrong song.
00:22:43While True waits to see if his authenticity keeps him at the top of the class, the pressure
00:22:48is on for Sheldon, who hopes to do the same.
00:22:52The new thing I've discovered about Idol is that it's really stripping me right back
00:22:55to basics.
00:22:57I've done a lot of TV shows, and I've always completely covered up in a mask, and it's avant-garde.
00:23:02There's crystals and diamonds, sequins, big gowns, big dresses.
00:23:05This is the most stripped-back, vulnerable version of myself ever.
00:23:12For this round, I'll be singing Good Luck Babe by Chapel Ryan.
00:23:16The vocal in this performance is a lot bigger than my normal ones.
00:23:20I challenge myself with a big track.
00:23:26It's the first time my voice has ever cracked, and it cracked bad, real bad.
00:23:32Am I freaking out about it?
00:23:34Yeah, it's definitely in my head.
00:23:36Just take a break.
00:23:37Take a breath.
00:23:38Just relax.
00:23:39Trust that you know what you're doing out there.
00:23:42I'm beating myself up a little bit over it.
00:23:43Maybe it's because I don't have everything on.
00:23:45Maybe it's because I'm doing something completely different, but I've come a long way.
00:23:50This is, like, the side of me that I've kept away from a lot of people.
00:23:55I've got a lot on the line here.
00:24:09It's fine.
00:24:11It's cool.
00:24:14You can say that you are nothing, but you know the truth, and guess I'm the fool.
00:24:24With your arms out like an angel through the car, it's on you.
00:24:29I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love.
00:24:34You only want to be the one that I call, baby
00:24:38I don't want to call it off, but you don't want to call it love
00:24:43You only want to be the one that I call, baby
00:24:47You could kiss a hundred boys in bars
00:24:52shoot another shot try to stop the feeling you could say it's just the way
00:25:00you are make a new excuse now the stupid reason
00:25:22to stop the feelin' have to stop the world just to stop the feelin' have to stop the world just
00:25:33to stop the feelin'
00:25:49Thank you very much.
00:25:50Wow.
00:25:51All right.
00:25:53Welcome to America.
00:25:54Thank you so much.
00:25:55It's an honor to be here, really.
00:25:57It's hard to believe that you spent most of your career behind a mask.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:03Now you are revealing not only your face, but your amazing talent and your voice.
00:26:11Amazing talent.
00:26:14This could be your home.
00:26:18I would love to be here.
00:26:20Congratulations, man.
00:26:21Thank you, everyone.
00:26:26Just the most nervous thing ever.
00:26:28I mean, I've done this a lot of times.
00:26:29And of all the shows I've been on, this is the biggest cut I've ever seen.
00:26:35If I call your name, step forward, please.
00:26:41Sheldon.
00:26:48You're going through.
00:26:49You're going to have to sweat it out in the golden room for a little longer.
00:26:52Say it to me louder.
00:26:56True.
00:26:58Say it to me louder.
00:27:01You'll be joining them all, sir.
00:27:13My heart's going crazy.
00:27:15American Idol have the best of the best.
00:27:17I want to compete with the best of the best.
00:27:19I feel like this is destiny.
00:27:21This is all made to be.
00:27:22We ain't done yet.
00:27:23There's more.
00:27:23There's more to come.
00:27:24Let's keep going to the wheels fall off.
00:27:30Audience on your feet.
00:27:32Make some noise for Jason.
00:27:33Oh, my God.
00:27:35Back in our city auditions, Jason's team helped him knock it out of the park.
00:27:40I'm here with the Texas Tailgaters, which is entertainment baseball.
00:27:44Ow!
00:27:44I got into it, actually, as a singer.
00:27:46Going forward, it's just taking this part of you seriously.
00:27:51And now, in Hollywood Week, he must prove himself on his own.
00:27:55If you're calling about my heart, it's still yours.
00:27:59I should have listened to it a little more.
00:28:03On those choruses, make sure you enunciate through them on those big notes.
00:28:08The devil's in the details.
00:28:10And I still love you.
00:28:16Jason, this is the end of your American Idol journey.
00:28:20I think my buddies would be more than proud of me.
00:28:23I gave you everything I had.
00:28:25That's all I can do.
00:28:26And for so many others, giving their all still had them coming up short.
00:28:31Maddie.
00:28:33Kitty.
00:28:35Landon.
00:28:36This is the end of the road.
00:28:38Thank you very much.
00:28:39I might have just not really been as, like, prepared as I would have liked to be.
00:28:44I've never really sung on a stage by myself before.
00:28:48I think I gave great rocks to our lives, but maybe I didn't.
00:28:52My body language didn't say it.
00:28:53You know, I tried my hardest.
00:28:55But it wasn't enough.
00:28:57Someday you'll be gone.
00:29:01And I used to fear nothing at all.
00:29:06But for Julianne, she ends her journey with a risk that didn't pay off, performing her original song.
00:29:13And I'm close to the end.
00:29:14Julianne, I am sorry to tell you that your American Idol journey ends right now.
00:29:20Take me up, help me stand.
00:29:23Even though my journey with American Idol is over, it's been such a great experience.
00:29:28I'm going to keep writing music, and this has inspired me, and I hope that my song could inspire other
00:29:33people.
00:29:33I'm close to the end, and I want to die while I'm dancing.
00:29:39I hope everybody back there can hear me.
00:29:41I hope all of the contestants can hear me.
00:29:43When the stars align for you guys, when you're on a stage like this, is when you sing a song
00:29:50that somebody's just been waiting to hear.
00:29:52A song that somebody loves, and you crush it.
00:29:55Make some noise here, 22-year-old, Moore!
00:30:03What's up, everybody?
00:30:04I'm Moore.
00:30:06I'm going to be singing an original for you guys today.
00:30:10I'm definitely taking a risk.
00:30:11It's a risk that paid off for Moore in the past.
00:30:15I'm a songwriter at heart, and my audition was nothing short of a blessing.
00:30:22You were taking from me years ago, someone I never got to know.
00:30:27I was able to sing my original song, and that meant a lot to me.
00:30:32That writing was very cool.
00:30:34Thank you so much.
00:30:35Very, very cool.
00:30:35That means the world to me.
00:30:36I feel like I've got a story to tell that can impact and heal people, because music has healed me.
00:30:40There's definitely moments where I have doubts whether this is the right choice or not.
00:30:44Head on up.
00:30:44Yes.
00:30:45Especially a song that you wrote that no one knows.
00:30:47He's no band?
00:30:48No band.
00:30:48It's original.
00:30:50It puts a lot of weight on the performance itself.
00:30:53This song's called How to Love You.
00:31:01I thought I knew what I was doing when I met you.
00:31:10I thought I knew where I was headed.
00:31:14We were here today.
00:31:19You're saying words, but they won't reach my head.
00:31:29Can't fix it now when you're already picturing the end.
00:31:39And I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:48Oh, I'm lost on how to love you.
00:31:56It's good, though.
00:31:57Oh, and I can't go on without you.
00:32:07And I'm wondering when I'll find you, will I find myself.
00:32:17Cause I'm lost on how to love you.
00:32:30You're gonna boo me.
00:32:31Thank you guys so much.
00:32:33Oh, my gosh.
00:32:34I feel you guys are gonna boo me.
00:32:37You're gonna boo me.
00:32:38It's coming.
00:32:40Just bring it on.
00:32:41I love it.
00:32:44Your booze are feeding me.
00:32:48In a room like this, for you to bring an original song with that incredible band sitting behind you, like
00:32:54twiddling their thumbs.
00:32:55I feel like it was just a missed opportunity.
00:32:58And I love your voice.
00:33:01I love you.
00:33:02I understand.
00:33:02I understand.
00:33:03Thank you, though.
00:33:04But I loved, like, being in an intimate room with you like that and listening to, you know, you tell
00:33:11your story.
00:33:13I feel like you took a risk here.
00:33:15And it paid off.
00:33:25I don't regret my decision.
00:33:27I love being able to do that song for all those people.
00:33:29That's what we want.
00:33:30Give me more of that.
00:33:32More.
00:33:33Please step forward.
00:33:36You are going to the Golden Room.
00:33:39Your journey with us continues.
00:33:42Let's go, baby.
00:33:43I'm in the consideration for Top 30.
00:33:45The fact that I have made it this far with original music, it just gives me the confidence to know
00:33:50that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
00:33:57I'm just so grateful to friggin' be here.
00:34:04Back on Idle, where the ladies of Hollywood Week are stealin' the show.
00:34:30We're so glad to have you back in our presence, and you are singing your butt off.
00:34:36Congratulations.
00:34:40Talk to me to spend my time
00:35:05You are really, really one of our dynamic singers in this competition.
00:35:10Thank you so much.
00:35:13Up next is Rae, who wowed the judges in auditions with her dad by her side.
00:35:32What does it mean for you to be here right now, to finally be here?
00:35:35My dad actually suffered from a stroke a year ago, a severe one. I almost lost him, and he's here
00:35:44with me right now.
00:35:45Oh, so great.
00:35:48After an emotional audition, how have you gotten ready for today? Are you ready with this song? Have you rehearsed
00:35:53it enough? How'd it go with the band?
00:35:57Rehearsal was okay. Wasn't the best. I feel like you're kind of wearing the mistakes, so like when you didn't
00:36:05hit the notes, you're wearing it on your face.
00:36:07Yeah. I'm, like, really in my head right now. I'm just worried about my dad because this trip has been
00:36:15really hard on him.
00:36:16Like, he can't, like, sit in one spot for too long, and he just gets, like, really tired, and I
00:36:23just want to make him proud. I want to make it worth his while.
00:36:27Here's 24-year-old Rae!
00:36:59Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel any more so cold.
00:37:08Maybe God knows I'll try to be him.
00:37:16Oh, if you know that I am, even if I can't understand.
00:37:29If I'm happy at all, then I'm happy for you.
00:37:40I wish I could be me this way, my good God.
00:37:50Oh, I'm happy for you.
00:37:55Oh, if you know that I am, even if I can't understand.
00:38:05Oh, if you know that I am, even if I can't understand.
00:38:15Oh, if you know that I am, even if I can't understand.
00:38:34Oh, if you know that I am, even if I can't understand.
00:39:03Oh, my goodness.
00:39:03Oh, my goodness.
00:39:04That...
00:39:04I know that God presents it so well.
00:39:06By the end of today, we will have gone from 127 to 30.
00:39:16I hope you all know how difficult this decision has been.
00:39:22That said, Ruby.
00:39:24Ray.
00:39:26Mary Jo, please don't take this as a no.
00:39:36Because it is not.
00:39:37You're still in the mix.
00:39:39You all should be so proud of yourselves.
00:39:41You've done such an amazing job.
00:39:45I can't believe I've made it through.
00:39:48I'm really...
00:39:48I don't know.
00:39:49I'm just...
00:39:49Whoa.
00:39:50So many emotions.
00:39:52I'm in consideration for the top 30, so I'm very anxious.
00:40:02I feel so much gratitude.
00:40:05It's just speaking more life into me.
00:40:07So proud of you.
00:40:11Hollywood Week is the ultimate test.
00:40:15I can do more and push myself more.
00:40:18Nerves can get the best of you.
00:40:22Vocally, you have to stay on point when it matters most.
00:40:25Hollywood Week has been insane.
00:40:27Pressure just keeps going up.
00:40:28And staying hydrated is key.
00:40:34Welcome back to American Idol, where inside the theater,
00:40:38our remaining hopefuls are singing for their chants at this year's Top 30.
00:40:42He brings it down to his knees.
00:40:48He brings it down to his knees.
00:40:49God, I've been broken more than a dime or two.
00:40:53Yes, Lord.
00:40:54But then you picked me up and showed me what it means to be a man.
00:40:59I feel like you're just like the all-American boy just getting up there singing your heart.
00:41:05And we will see if that was enough.
00:41:08But meanwhile, in the Golden Room, the hopefuls who have survived the first cut wait with their fate in the
00:41:13Top 30 not established.
00:41:15I still could go home.
00:41:17I feel like everybody in here has a little anxiety.
00:41:20Yeah, it's a fine line between who goes and who doesn't go when the talent's that good.
00:41:24I think I'm nervous for them.
00:41:27Every time you hear, like, the audience, a little part of me is like, like, you throw up.
00:41:32Here, Jenny, six-year-old, Jenny Heath, hey, roll.
00:41:36Pickle Girl.
00:41:38Remember Pickle Girl, Lana?
00:41:39I love pickles.
00:41:41Who doesn't?
00:41:45You're going to still yet have to push even more with some of the singers we have.
00:41:50For this performance, they're going to see me bring, like, a little more of whatever they were looking for, especially
00:41:55with the band.
00:41:56Like, once that band started, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm ready. I got this.
00:41:59One, two.
00:42:00I'm a dude.
00:42:01Come on, girl.
00:42:01You know what's driving me nuts?
00:42:03No one's admitting that they're nervous.
00:42:04And it's pissing me off.
00:42:06You are nervous.
00:42:07And I'm nervous.
00:42:08I'm admitting that.
00:42:09Just admit that you're nervous.
00:42:13All of these lines across my face
00:42:18Tell you the stories of who I am
00:42:22So many stories of where I've been
00:42:27And how I got to where I am
00:42:32But these stories don't mean anything
00:42:38When you've got no one to tell them till it's true
00:42:45I was made for real
00:42:51I've climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:56I've climbed across the mountain tops
00:42:57Swim all across the ocean, girl
00:43:00I've crossed all the lines that I could follow
00:43:06Baby, I've broke them all for you
00:43:10Oh, because even when I went flat through
00:43:15You made me feel like a man
00:43:19And something to do
00:43:23I was made for you
00:43:27Oh, yes, when it's true
00:43:30You made me feel like I was made for you
00:43:36I was eventually born
00:43:47Love her!
00:43:48I'm sorry
00:43:48You made me feel like I am
00:43:52I'm sorry
00:43:53Wow
00:43:54You had this energy around you
00:43:56That you just feel like you want to be on stage
00:43:58Like owning the moment
00:44:00And you should be very, very happy
00:44:02Good job
00:44:02Thank you so much
00:44:06Thank you
00:44:08Oh my God, I was so cool
00:44:10They stood up
00:44:12Let's go
00:44:13Her voice is like
00:44:15Oh, she's got that rock kind of thing at the top
00:44:18Yes
00:44:18She was clear
00:44:19She was good
00:44:19I feel like I won Luke over a little bit
00:44:21I feel really good about that
00:44:22And my nail just popped off
00:44:24Perfect timing
00:44:25Okay
00:44:29Next, and hoping her dreams will take flight
00:44:31Is Belmont student Jackie Bluebird
00:44:33From the quad to Hollywood week
00:44:35Just like that
00:44:37Oh, it's gone so fast
00:44:38Thank you
00:44:38Ever thought about auditioning for American Idol?
00:44:40Uh, yes, yes, I would love to
00:44:42Do you have class?
00:44:43I do, but like, this is more important than me
00:44:46A week ago, if you told me I was doing American Idol
00:44:48I wouldn't have believed you
00:44:49Because I didn't even know I was auditioning
00:44:51But I'm just grateful to be here in the first place
00:44:54Did you forget about me?
00:44:56I will be singing
00:44:57You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrison
00:44:59I hope the judges see my potential as an artist
00:45:02And a performer
00:45:03I'm just so excited to show them
00:45:05Where I have some more preparation than my audition with them initially
00:45:08Now I'm here to remind you
00:45:13Of the mess you left when you went away
00:45:17It's not fair to deny me
00:45:22I'm the cross I bear that you gave to me
00:45:26Girl, girl, I don't know
00:45:55There's a lot of really great performers
00:45:57So I'm just glad that I went out there and did my best
00:46:00Way to own your moment
00:46:02Just remember, make sure you land the vocals all the way
00:46:05But you should be very, very proud
00:46:07Good job
00:46:15As the night goes on
00:46:16The judges are feeling the weight of some tough decisions
00:46:22Aye, aye, aye
00:46:23Thread the band-aid off
00:46:29Genevieve
00:46:32And Jason
00:46:36You're still in the mix
00:46:40Jackie, you're not going through
00:46:44The fact that I made it this far, I'm really grateful
00:46:47And yeah, I had a great time
00:46:53I'm a little bit in disbelief right now
00:46:55I hope this will get me into the top 30
00:46:57Because there are so many good people
00:47:02Stay tuned as more early favorites take the stage
00:47:06A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:47:10As we get even closer to naming our top 30
00:47:14Some of us are going home
00:47:16It's hard
00:47:17There are people that are really good that we are having to send home
00:47:21We got more bloodshed coming
00:47:23We have some singles
00:47:28Welcome back to Idol
00:47:29Where the night's final group of hopefuls are taking the stage
00:47:32Feeling nervous

00:48:37Up next and here to inspire others is Mississippi voice teacher Daniel Stallworth
00:48:45Music City, what's up, Nashville?
00:48:48To make the top 30 will mean a lot to me. It will help me keep pushing the narrative to
00:48:52never stop believing
00:48:53I'm doing this for my students to let them know that you can reach your goals never give up
00:48:58How lucky are the kids to have you?
00:49:00That's exactly right. I didn't really expect them to to react the way that they did it made me feel
00:49:05like
00:49:05Yes, I can believe that I'm a star. All right, make sure you can hear yourself down there

00:49:18No, I won't be afraid
00:49:18I'm not used to performing on a stage this big, going straight in, diving in head first
00:49:24I'm going to definitely keep the energy and sing like I'll never sing again
00:49:29Y'all clap your hands. Come on
00:49:30When the night has come

00:51:16Hey
00:51:17Way to go, man
00:51:20While Daniel will have to stand by
00:51:23For results
00:51:24Brooks hopes he could do enough to stand out
00:51:27I've never performed on a stage
00:51:30I've never performed in front of anyone besides friends and family
00:51:33So I'm very excited, but I'm also still very nervous
00:51:38I come from a musical family
00:51:40My dad is a harmonicist
00:51:42My mother sang her whole life
00:51:44But I just never took it seriously
00:51:49Growing up was difficult for me
00:51:51I had trouble making friends
00:51:52I was very shy
00:51:54Awkward
00:51:57I started playing soccer around age six
00:52:00That kind of led to making friends
00:52:03And from that point on
00:52:05Soccer was my life
00:52:07My dream for soccer was always to go pro
00:52:09To see my last name on my back
00:52:11With a number that I liked
00:52:14My freshman year of high school
00:52:15Halfway through the soccer season
00:52:19I went for a free kick
00:52:23And I planted my left foot to kick it
00:52:26And I felt like a gear switch in my lower left back
00:52:29And I couldn't feel my legs
00:52:30I snapped my back in half
00:52:34And that changed everything
00:52:37It was hard for him to not be able to engage in what he loved
00:52:41And be around the other boys
00:52:43And be a part of things
00:52:45I was lost for a long time
00:52:47And then I picked up a guitar
00:52:48And I didn't want to put it down
00:52:52You haven't played out much
00:52:54Why is that?
00:52:55I'm working too much
00:52:56Well stop doing that
00:53:00I just want to hear more
00:53:02I've never been willing to take chances and opportunities
00:53:05But this holds the future that I want
00:53:09Alright, let's see what they think about him
00:53:11Alright, here we go
00:53:32I will find myself walking down the road
00:53:38All alone
00:53:41Just like a rolling stone
00:53:47There's this hope that is burning in my soul
00:53:52And it grows
00:53:54And it grows
00:53:55Just like an ocean wave
00:53:59There's this storm cloud heading my way
00:54:06And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:54:13Well this wind stirs up the hurricane
00:54:20And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:54:28Cause I am lost amongst these north country stars
00:54:34Where you find me
00:54:36And lead me on home
00:54:42There's this pain that is coursing through my veins
00:54:48There's this pain
00:54:48Is the hurt that has passed since I left of you
00:54:53And it keeps on pouring down tears of pain
00:55:08Well this wind stirs up the hurricane
00:55:15And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away
00:55:22And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away
00:55:28And I'll keep on drowning as long as you're away
00:55:40A voice that will become so recognizable in years to come
00:55:49And to be some of the first ears to ever hear it
00:55:53Is pretty special
00:55:54When you have this unique voice
00:55:58Paired with these songs that are gonna happen in your life
00:56:01It's gonna be really, really special
00:56:08What was it like to perform in front of a crowd for the first time?
00:56:11It's great
00:56:11Yeah?
00:56:12Yeah
00:56:14Wow
00:56:15It felt good
00:56:17Our judges now have to decide
00:56:19Who in this final group of the original
00:56:22127 singers in Hollywood Week
00:56:24Will make it to the golden room
00:56:26And the chance to move on to the top 30
00:56:31Bricks
00:56:39You're going through to the next round
00:56:41And I know for us to go
00:56:46We gotta live
00:56:48Bella
00:56:50Daniel Stallworth
00:56:52If I know you're

00:56:59You'll be joining them also
00:57:00I hope you love
00:57:02I love your heart
00:57:03Wherever you touch
00:57:05Your team's gonna fall
00:57:07Just don't let it break you
00:57:10I feel like
00:57:11I just got a yes
00:57:11That's crazy
00:57:18I'm overjoyed
00:57:19I'm overjoyed
00:57:20I'm overjoyed
00:57:20I mean I had my doubts
00:57:21But I guess they liked me enough
00:57:24So
00:57:25Woo
00:57:26You're so good
00:57:27Thank you
00:57:28Thank you so much
00:57:30My fans
00:57:38How are we doing gang?
00:57:39What's up?
00:57:40Hey
00:57:42What's happening?
00:57:43Give yourselves a round of applause
00:57:44For those great performances out there
00:57:48There are 60 of you here in this room
00:57:50And the judges said only 30 of you will go on to that next round
00:57:55Right now they're actually deliberating
00:57:59With the task of having to cut so many hopefuls
00:58:02The judges review the performances to pare it down to just 30
00:58:06It's hard
00:58:07There are people that are really good that we are having to send home
00:58:11Soon you'll be called back into the theater
00:58:14So when you are called back in
00:58:16Just be aware anything could happen
00:58:19Everyone's fighting for their lives in here
00:58:21It's chaos
00:58:21I got a massive curveball thrown at us
00:58:24Some of us are going home
00:58:28We got more bloodshed coming
00:58:30We got more decisions to make than we're used to
00:58:33The remaining 60 must now be cut in half again
00:58:38As the judges decide who will make it through to the top 30
00:58:43It's so hard having to cut this menu
00:58:46It's a big cut
00:58:47Hopefully we are making the right decisions
00:58:50Well I feel like I'm going to throw up
00:58:52Who knows I might puke, I don't know
00:58:55We feel good about it
00:58:56We've got them
00:58:57Yeah we got them
00:58:58I think we do
00:58:59With the judges' decisions made
00:59:00The singers return to the theater to learn their fate
00:59:04It's been a crazy Hollywood week here in Nashville
00:59:08You've been through a lot
00:59:09We've had to talk out your futures amongst us three
00:59:13And it's nothing that we take lightly
00:59:18I mean you're all here for reasons
00:59:20Because you're really good
00:59:21And if a couple of you kind of occupied the same space
00:59:25We definitely have to look at that
00:59:27So we have some sing-offs
00:59:30Oh
00:59:31That we're going to ask you to do
00:59:33And I'm going to deliver
00:59:35The first two names of the sing-offs
00:59:39We never planned it
00:59:41It happened naturally
00:59:42They have the same two last names
00:59:46If your last name is Garner
00:59:50Where's the Garner's?
00:59:53Jason, Michael, the two Garner's
00:59:55You're in a sing-off together
00:59:57So we got a slot
00:59:59One of you will have it
01:00:00You are dismissed
01:00:01So you can go work on your song that you want to sing
01:00:04And y'all are our first sing-offs
01:00:07Garner versus Garner
01:00:12You got this
01:00:13So I get the second sing-off announcement
01:00:17So I look forward to seeing Mary Jo Young
01:00:22And Chloe Lauren
01:00:24All right, so it'll be you guys
01:00:26Y'all are in the sing-offs
01:00:27All right
01:00:28Go work on your songs
01:00:30Bring your A-game
01:00:32While the sing-off duos leave to prepare

01:01:14I'm gonna be one of the 30 left standing
01:01:16I mean, it means everything
01:01:18Whatever you do
01:01:21Do not give up on your dreams
01:01:23But I can see
01:01:25Especially the dreams
01:01:26Behind your eyes
01:01:27Behind your eyes
01:01:28Of becoming an American Idol
01:01:30Because
01:01:32You're still with us
01:01:34You're in the top 30
01:01:35All your beautiful colors
01:01:39Congratulations
01:01:42All those shades you never knew
01:01:45Yeah!
01:01:46Let's go!
01:01:48You turned out
01:01:49So sweet
01:01:50They had me
01:01:52They had me
01:01:52They had me
01:01:53They had me
01:01:55Jacob
01:01:57To be in the top 30
01:01:58You know, that's what's gonna get me to that next level
01:02:01See ya!
01:02:02I mean, that is everything I could ever dream of.
01:02:05Grace.
01:02:06It would change my life.
01:02:08More.
01:02:08I'm a little nervous because this is the big moment.
01:02:11Julia.
01:02:12It means everything to me.
01:02:15You've already won because you're here.
01:02:19The talent is in you.
01:02:23But it's going to be the end of the line for this moment.
01:02:28Do you think about me when you look at the moon?
01:02:33To know that I made it this far, I did everything I could.
01:02:36I hate to admit I still care about you.
01:02:40A little disappointed, but...
01:02:42I'll be back.
01:02:43Love you, Carrie.
01:02:44It's been a long time since I've heard you speak.
01:02:47It was upsetting to hear the no, but I know this isn't the end.
01:02:51You never saw who I turned out to be.
01:02:55Tiana.
01:02:55My voice in my body is my heart and my soul.
01:03:01Being in the top 30 would change my life.
01:03:03I definitely pray that that happens.
01:03:07Brooks.
01:03:09Daniel Stallworth.
01:03:11Cutter.
01:03:12Bryant Thomas.
01:03:15There's so much talent.
01:03:16I just hope that I'll get the next round.
01:03:19Sheldon Riley.
01:03:21Jesse Finling.
01:03:23And Julian.
01:03:26Thank you so much for being in the competition.
01:03:29It's been a long, long day.
01:03:31You guys have fought so hard.
01:03:33My voice still screaming out.
01:03:36But unfortunately, your journey is just getting started.
01:03:42You are in our top 30.
01:03:52Wake up.
01:03:53You're an American Idol.
01:03:55Yeah.
01:03:55Top 30.
01:03:57Lonnie.
01:04:00I want to make it to the top 30 more than absolutely anything.
01:04:04Roel.
01:04:06I don't know how the judges are going to pick.
01:04:08Everyone's so good.
01:04:10Grant.
01:04:11I'd like to be in the top 30.
01:04:12I want to be in it bad.
01:04:14Drew the star.
01:04:16I definitely would love to be the next American Idol for sure.
01:04:20Feel very proud of yourselves.
01:04:23You're in the toughest class we have ever had.
01:04:29But it's the beginning of your career.
01:04:32And when I say it's the beginning, whatever you do is up to you.
01:04:37Because you're not going to go through.
01:04:43We wish you all the luck in the world.
01:04:45God bless you.
01:04:47I should be a little bit more proud of myself.
01:04:50It's just thinking that I had a lot more to give.
01:04:57This wasn't easy for absolutely anyone.
01:05:00So it's hard.
01:05:05Okay, we got one more group.
01:05:06If I call your name, please head to the stage.
01:05:11Brianna.
01:05:14Kira Powell.
01:05:17Kendall.
01:05:19I would love nothing more than to be a part of those 30 singers that make it.
01:05:24Let's just hope.
01:05:25Hope and pray.
01:05:26Hannah.
01:05:29Ruby Ray.
01:05:31I really want to.
01:05:32I really want to make it.
01:05:33That would be like the ultimate dream come true.
01:05:35Jackie Lee.
01:05:37Brenna Brigman.
01:05:40Ray.
01:05:43Genevieve.
01:05:47Abayomi.
01:05:52Look at this group of all girls.
01:05:55Look down the line at each other.
01:05:59Sorry, this is so drawn out and painful, but all you girls are going through to the next round.
01:06:08You're in our top 30.
01:06:13Girls.
01:06:13I'm feeling all of the feelings.
01:06:15I'm so excited.
01:06:16I'm so ready for this journey.
01:06:19Wow.
01:06:20Speechless.
01:06:21I'm moving on.
01:06:23I'm so excited.
01:06:24I'm sorry.
01:06:25I'm on top 30.
01:06:27It's great news for the 28 who have survived Hollywood week.
01:06:32But four hopefuls remain to fight for the last two spots of our top 30.
01:06:37Well, you know, you always told me you do well under pressure.
01:06:40Remember you told me that.
01:06:41Well, guess what?
01:06:42Your dream has come true.
01:06:44When I heard that I was going to be in a single from my journal, it automatically shot up.
01:06:48And I was like, I got this.
01:06:50You feel good?
01:06:51You feel confident?
01:06:52No, no.
01:06:58Welcome back to Hollywood week.
01:07:00Got two slots left in the top 30.
01:07:04And fighting for one of those slots are Chloe and Mary Jo.
01:07:08Chloe and I became really good friends the last two days, which makes me really sad.
01:07:13We're very similar, not only with our tones, but also our synopsis.
01:07:18So I'm kind of just like, bang.
01:07:21Less familiar with each other are the two Garners, also vying for a spot in the top 30.
01:07:27I'm singing off against Michael Garner.
01:07:29I'm Jason Garner.
01:07:30Do you know him?
01:07:31I do not know him, huh?
01:07:33Ironically, they also both sang songs by the Red Clay Strays in their auditions.
01:07:39I did not expect my life to end like this.
01:07:42But Michael's idol journey has been unexpected from the start.
01:07:45We're going to give you a shot.
01:07:49What you do with your voice is definitely beyond 16.
01:07:53Like, I look at you and I see my son and I would not throw him in the middle of
01:08:01it.
01:08:01It's a yes for me.
01:08:03Check it.
01:08:04Miss Carrie, I just want to say I'm going to prove to you that I have what it takes.
01:08:09And Michael's continued to grow during Hollywood week.
01:08:12You are a 16-year-old kid doing impressive stuff.
01:08:15You should be very, very proud.
01:08:17It's not just about the age.
01:08:18It's about what you got inside.
01:08:20For fellow high schooler Jason, the mission has been authenticity.
01:08:25Your stage presence is electrified.
01:08:28But I don't want you to be a gimmick.
01:08:30Take your vocals and your performances really serious at this point.
01:08:34And in Hollywood week, he made a believer out of Carrie.
01:08:38Jason, you are genuine and you're believable.
01:08:43That's great.
01:08:45The boys have been rehearsing.
01:08:48Yeah.
01:08:48This is stressful for them, boy.
01:08:50Let's dig right in.
01:08:51I have not heard him sing.
01:08:53I'm pretty much just going in blind, yeah.
01:08:55I don't want you to compare yourself to him.
01:08:57Just lean in and go for it.
01:08:58This is your moment.
01:08:59Second chance is always, you know, your time to shine, you know.
01:09:02You feel good?
01:09:03You feel confident?
01:09:05I don't know.
01:09:06They got to sing for their life.
01:09:08Let's bring them out.
01:09:09Yeah, let's get them in here.
01:09:14All right, guys.
01:09:16All right, so the Battle of the Garners.
01:09:19That totally happened just by happenstance.
01:09:23All right, Jason, what are you going to sing for us?
01:09:25I'm going to sing That's All Right Mama by Elvis Presley.
01:09:27Ooh.
01:09:28All right.
01:09:29All right.
01:09:32Well, that's all right, Mama.
01:09:35That's all right for you.
01:09:38That's all right, Mama.
01:09:40Just in the way you do.
01:09:42But that's all right.
01:09:44That's all right.
01:09:46That's all right now, Mama.
01:09:49Any way you do.
01:09:57Well, then you want to be bothered with that crowd of your door, but that's all right.
01:10:04That's all right now, Mama.
01:10:07Any way you do.
01:10:11I got a dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee
01:10:17-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
01:10:20That's all right, that's all right now, Mama.
01:10:26Any way you do.
01:10:32Oh, well, well.
01:10:37All right, Jason.
01:10:38Bring it in.
01:10:39Jason doing the showmanship, all right?
01:10:42All right.
01:10:42Trying to earn it.
01:10:43I like it.
01:10:43Yes, sir.
01:10:44All right, Michael, what are you going to sing for us?
01:10:47I'll be singing Drift Away by Dobie Gray.
01:10:49Sweet.
01:10:50All right.
01:10:51Let's hear it.
01:10:51Way to go.
01:10:51Way to go.
01:11:03Way to go.
01:11:05Day after day, I'm more confused.
01:11:11Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain.
01:11:18You know that's a game that I hate to lose.
01:11:24I'm feeling the strain.
01:11:28Ain't it a shame?
01:11:30Give me the beat, boys, to free my soul.
01:11:33I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
01:11:39Come on, Michael.
01:11:41Well, give me the beat, boys, to free my soul.
01:11:46I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away.
01:11:51Won't you take me away?
01:11:56Yeah.
01:11:56Yeah.
01:11:57Yeah.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:12:00Yeah.
01:12:03I want to stress to you guys both, you are both very talented young men.
01:12:09We've put you in a tough situation to duke it out like this.
01:12:13We're going to huddle up, and we're going to figure out who gets to go be in the top 30.
01:12:19Ready?
01:12:19Here we go.
01:12:19Thank you so much.
01:12:26Gosh, it's tough.
01:12:29One is the obvious show, and the other one is just the one of my heart's.
01:12:34Right.
01:12:35You know what I'm saying?
01:12:36What do you think?
01:12:36I'm the same.
01:12:39Dude.
01:12:40You cool, man?
01:12:42Yeah.
01:12:43That's the right way to go.
01:12:44That's the right way to go.
01:12:45We've been here a long time, and you boys have us making decisions late into the night.
01:12:53Tough decisions.
01:12:55Very tough, guys.
01:13:00The next to go in the top 30 is going to be...
01:13:13Welcome back to Hollywood Week.
01:13:19I want to stress to you guys, you are both very talented young men.
01:13:26Tough decisions.
01:13:27Very tough, guys.
01:13:34Michael, you're in our top 30.
01:13:39Jason, it's the end of the road for you, buddy.
01:13:41All right?
01:13:44Thank you so much.
01:13:46All right.
01:13:50I'm pissed.
01:14:04He got the top 30, which, well-deserved, but I'm glad I didn't have to just sit there.
01:14:09I got to go out and try to get it, so.
01:14:11Yeah.
01:14:12But, oh, man, I'm just so thankful for how far I got.
01:14:15God is so good.
01:14:16It's just so amazing.
01:14:25You know, I just went out there, I did my best and everything, you know, I prayed about
01:14:28everything, and God showed me the light, and I made it in the top 30.
01:14:33All right, we just took care of one.
01:14:35We have 29.
01:14:37That's right.
01:14:38One final spot remains.
01:14:42Mary Jo or Chloe?
01:14:44I'm, ooh, that's how I feel.
01:14:46Yeah, you're excited.
01:14:47Chloe has a great freaking voice.
01:14:49She's incredible.
01:14:50And I'm, like, sad because I love Chloe.
01:14:52Oh, bring all the water works.
01:14:55I do know Mary Jo.
01:14:56We became close throughout Hollywood Week.
01:15:00She's performed many times, and I have not.
01:15:03I didn't know we were going to do-do-do.
01:15:05That's all right.
01:15:06So this is a once-in-a-lifetime for me, so.
01:15:09When we give you confidence, because we can sense that it's not all there, go for it all.
01:15:17But since arriving at Hollywood Week, the self-doubt has not left Chloe's side.
01:15:22I feel like I let myself down.
01:15:24I didn't self-sabotage really badly.
01:15:27I tried to do the best that I could.
01:15:30It's almost like she's given up on herself.
01:15:34Mary Jo's Hollywood experience goes back five seasons.
01:15:41Where her nerves led to forgetting the lyrics in her duet with Benson Boone.
01:15:45When I say I love, but I can't feel a thing.
01:15:50You just lived your worst nightmare.
01:15:53Now that you've experienced it, you have to understand, we all mess up.
01:15:57That's right.
01:15:57But what you have is a great gift.
01:16:00But there was no holding back for her this season.
01:16:03We're so glad to have you back in our presence, and you are singing your butt off.
01:16:09Congratulations.
01:16:11Are they ready?
01:16:16When you're out there, I want you to say one thing to yourself in your head.
01:16:19Do not rush.
01:16:20You're meant to do this.
01:16:21Get out there and sing the you-know-what out of this song.
01:16:25Amen.
01:16:26All right, ladies.
01:16:32So we have Mary Jo and Chloe duking it out for that last final spot into the top 30.
01:16:41So give it your all.
01:16:44Who wants to go first?
01:16:46Oh, Lord.
01:16:47I'll go.
01:16:48I'll go.
01:16:49Yeah, I'll go.
01:16:50What are you going to sing, Chloe?
01:16:52I'm singing You Stole the Show by Santa Spira.
01:16:55Okay.
01:16:55Okay.
01:17:22You don't say hello.
01:17:25I can't wait.
01:17:28I'm impatient.
01:17:31You stole my show.
01:17:34So I chase you to the pavement.
01:17:39Rub me in your arms again.
01:17:42The adrenaline.
01:17:45The adrenaline makes me shiver.
01:17:48Show me that you're genuine.
01:17:52That I'm safe again.
01:17:54That you came here different.
01:17:56No time to define.
01:17:59No time to define.
01:18:01But before we get closer.
01:18:06I ask if you love me.
01:18:10And you just shrug your shoulders.
01:18:34And you just shrug your shoulders.
01:18:40Come on.
01:18:43Come on.
01:18:44Come on, skinny love.
01:18:45Just last the year.
01:18:48And pour a little soul.
01:18:52We were never here.

01:20:00No.
01:20:00No.
01:20:01No.
01:20:02Let's go on the split.
01:20:06Thanks, Pookie.
01:20:08Wow.
01:20:12I mean, you both just proved why you're here
01:20:15and why you've made it this far.
01:20:17We're gonna chat it out for just a second
01:20:19and get back to you.
01:20:27Both have incredible textures in that boy.
01:20:32She's got, like, an Adele quality in her voice,
01:20:35like, in a different way.
01:20:37Mm-hmm.
01:20:38Does Chloe have the confidence?
01:20:41I don't know.
01:20:43We good?
01:20:44Yeah.
01:20:46Okay.
01:20:47Let's do it.
01:20:50I would feel bad either way.
01:20:52Exactly.
01:20:53Ladies,
01:20:56we have definitely given ourselves a pickle.
01:20:59You guys both just did a really great job,
01:21:02and are both so unique.
01:21:04So we're just kind of going on our guts here.
01:21:07Um, so.
01:21:09Mm-hmm.
01:21:16Chloe,
01:21:19you're in our top 30.
01:21:21What'd you say?
01:21:22You're in our top 30.

01:22:18She crushed it.
01:22:18I don't even have the words.
01:22:20Yeah.
01:22:21I can't fathom what just happened.
