01:00:51Now he's here in the top seven with another hit by Maroon 5.

01:00:55It's Brayden Rumpfell.

01:00:57The song I'm doing is This Love by Maroon 5.

01:01:00Like, this song is my chance to just have fun and convey what I've experienced out here in California with

01:01:07my friends.

01:01:08I just want to take what we've had here and then put it on the stage so people can see,

01:01:13like, oh my God, he really is having fun.

01:01:25I was so high, I did not recognize the fire burning lies, the chaos that controlled my mind.

01:01:36Whispered goodbye, she got on a plane and never to return again.

01:01:41But always in my heart, oh, this love has taken its toll on me.

01:01:50And she said goodbye so many times before.

01:01:55And her heart is breaking in front of me.

01:02:00And I have no choice, cause I won't say goodbye anymore.

01:02:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:02:16And I fix these broken things, repair your broken wings, and make sure everything's alright.

01:02:24It's all right, it's all right

01:02:26My pressure on your hips

01:02:28Seeking our fingertips

01:02:30Every inch of you

01:02:32Cause I know that's what you want me to do

01:02:36And this love has taken its toll on me

01:02:40And she said goodbye

01:02:42Too many times before

01:02:45And her heart is breaking in front of me

01:02:50And I have no choice

01:02:52Cause I won't say goodbye anymore

01:03:02Oh, I won't say goodbye anymore

01:03:07Oh, I won't say goodbye anymore

01:03:16Yes sir, yes sir

01:03:21Brayden, you owned that

01:03:22You made that so cool

01:03:24You look cool

01:03:25That was just so much fun

01:03:27The belt buckle

01:03:28Yeah, it's the belt buckle

01:03:28It's the necklace

01:03:29It's the silk shirt

01:03:30And like the things coming off it

01:03:32Yeah, I love the whole thing

01:03:33The skinny jeans

01:03:35Look what you did to him

01:03:37I'm sorry

01:03:38Please tell me somebody got that

01:03:43The chair was trying to run from you

01:03:45You know, the chair was trying to get away

01:03:47Great job

01:03:48Somehow I saved it

01:03:50And anyway

01:03:51Talk about curvature of the back

01:03:54You know, Luke

01:03:56That was great television

01:03:58So let me tell you

01:04:00Pink

01:04:01The boots

01:04:03The look

01:04:04You took it out of the mic stand

01:04:06You walked around

01:04:07And you gave us the ugly face

01:04:10That's what we want

01:04:11Give us more ugly face

01:04:13Thank you

01:04:15I mean, it was such a great moment for you, Brayden

01:04:18Like, seriously, you look like a rock star

01:04:20You seemed more comfortable

01:04:22Than I feel like I've ever seen you be on stage

01:04:25And it was just working

01:04:26Hey

01:04:29Man, I saw you rehearse at 11.30 a.m. this morning

01:04:32You were saving some for this performance tonight

01:04:34That was a different level of performance

01:04:37Way to go

01:04:38So Brayden needs your votes

01:04:39To make it through the live eliminations

01:04:41At the end of the show

01:04:43Two of the top seven are headed home

01:04:45All based on your votes

01:04:47So if you want this guy to stay

01:04:49You gotta vote now

01:04:50One more time

01:04:51That's right

01:04:51The hair, the style, it's on point

01:04:53I appreciate it

01:04:54Way to go

01:04:54Thought I'd kind of take a page of the original

01:05:00Now

01:05:01Performing the Oscar-winning song

01:05:03By megastar Los Angeles native Billie Eilish

01:05:06Here is Chris Tungsen

01:05:10I'll be singing

01:05:11What Was I Made For?

01:05:11By Billie Eilish

01:05:12It's one of my favorite songs

01:05:14For a large part of my life

01:05:16I didn't really have a whole lot of direction

01:05:18Maybe lost who I was, lost hope

01:05:20And this song kind of brings me back to that place

01:05:22But also gives me hope for a future

01:05:25And American Idol has given me hope for music

01:05:37I used to float

01:05:40Now I just fall down

01:05:44I used to know

01:05:46But I'm not sure now

01:05:50What I was made for

01:05:57What was I made for

01:06:04Taking a drive

01:06:07I was an idea

01:06:11Look so alive

01:06:14It turns out I'm not real

01:06:17Just something you paid for

01:06:24What was I made for

01:06:28What was I made for

01:06:51I don't know

01:06:55I don't know

01:06:55How to feel

01:07:01I think I forgot

01:07:04How to be happy

01:07:08Something I love

01:07:11I was something I can be

01:07:15Something I made for

01:07:21What was I made for

01:07:42I don't know

01:07:43Man, really special, beautiful

01:07:45I mean that's twice tonight

01:07:47You have just slayed us with those moments

01:07:49Whatever you ate for breakfast

01:07:51Eat it, keep eating it

01:07:55You know, I'm going to say

01:07:57For a song that needs so much feeling

01:08:00I think you felt it

01:08:01And you made us feel it

01:08:03It was a great performance, man

01:08:04Thank you so much

01:08:05That was a moment

01:08:07I felt like I was at an award show

01:08:09Watching you do your thing

01:08:12I just got very worried

01:08:14When you were singing

01:08:15Because I have no idea

01:08:16What America's going to do with this

01:08:18They need to vote

01:08:19You guys need to vote out there

01:08:20Yeah, yeah, yeah

01:08:21Thank you, Carrie

01:08:23Chris, what were you made for?

01:08:25That

01:08:26Thank you so much

01:08:28Come here

01:08:33I'm not so sure what you were thinking about

01:08:35But I think I have a guess

01:08:36I appreciate you, bro

01:08:37Well done

01:08:38Beautiful to watch you sing that

01:09:38Is That's The Way Love Goes

01:09:39By Merle Haggard

01:09:39And so I felt that it was

01:09:40A very fitting song for this week

01:09:42Because it honors

01:09:43My relationship with my husband

01:09:44He's out here

01:09:46Keeping the fort down

01:09:47While I'm here

01:09:47And it's been hard

01:09:49I'm so thankful

01:09:50To have someone to lean against

01:09:51And know that I'm not

01:09:52Doing it all by myself

01:10:01That's the way love goes, babe

01:10:06That's the music God made

01:10:11For all the world to sing

01:10:18That's the way love goes

01:10:27I've been throwing horseshoes

01:10:32Over my left shoulder

01:10:37And I've spent most all my life

01:10:41Searching for that four-leaf clover

01:10:46Yet you've ran with me

01:10:50Chasing my rainbow

01:10:56And honey, I love you too

01:11:00That's the way love goes

01:11:08That's the way love goes, babe

01:11:12That's the music God made

01:11:17That's the music God made

01:11:18For all the world to sing

01:11:21It's never old it grows

01:11:27Loosing makes me sorry
