00:01:02Oh, you don't know how long I have been
00:01:09And I was gonna tell you tonight
00:01:13But the secret is still my own
00:01:20And my love for you is still unknown
00:01:26Alone
00:01:28Until now, I always got my own
00:01:38I never really got until I met you
00:01:44And now it tells me to burn on
00:01:49How do I get you alone?
00:01:55How do I get you alone?

00:02:27How do I get you alone?
00:02:31How do I get you alone?
00:02:58Kelly Underwood, what an incredible way to kick off the show with a throwback to the iconic 2005 idol performance of Alone by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Hart.
00:03:10And thanks to background vocalist, Charlotte Gibson.
00:03:13Good to see you for coming back to our show for that epic moment.
00:03:16All right, thank you all very much, and good evening, America.
00:03:20You can start voting right now for all your favorites.
00:03:23Here's a reminder of their info.
00:03:25We're officially real-time voting.
00:03:27That means the vote will remain open until the final commercial break, and two people will be leaving the competition live at the end of the show.
00:03:35Let's break some voting records tonight, right?
00:03:37Let's do it. Come on.
00:03:39Now, give it up for your idol judges.
00:03:57Now, I get it.
00:04:07Say hello to Luke Bryan.
00:04:10Ryan L. Ritchie.
00:04:13And Kelly Underwood once again.
00:04:16Ryan L. Ritchie.
00:04:32Hey, guys.
00:04:35Hey, boys.
00:04:36Good, good, good.
00:04:37Good, good, good.
00:04:38Good, good, good.
00:04:39Hey, guys.
00:04:39I'm coming back.
00:04:41Thank you all very much.
00:04:50Good evening, judges.
00:04:53So this is how you dress every other day you're not on TV.
00:04:57That's exactly right.
00:04:58I get it.
00:04:59Of course I'm going to rep the greatest band of all time.
00:05:02Guns N' Roses.
00:05:04With the greatest front man of all time.
00:05:06Come on.
00:05:07All right, this week the finalists were mentored by rock and roll hall of famer and music legend James Taylor.
00:05:15He's done by Idol just before the kickoff of his North American tour to give his expert advice.
00:05:20Let's launch into the music with James and his session with Philo.
00:05:25Take it away.
00:05:25Let's go.
00:05:29Hello.
00:05:30Philo.
00:05:31Pleasure to meet you.
00:05:32Our mentor is James freaking Taylor.
00:05:35The song that I've chosen is with a little help from my friends.
00:05:38Oh man, that's like one of my very first Sgt. Pepper's.
00:05:42The Beatles.
00:05:42And Joe Cocker's version too.
00:05:43Do you need anybody?
00:05:47What a legend.
00:05:49You know I wouldn't be here without you, baby.
00:05:52Think ahead of time how you're going to actually map that out.
00:05:55You're ad-libbing.
00:05:56Yes.
00:05:56That could be done more moderately, more gradually.
00:06:02Do you need anybody?
00:06:06Right.
00:06:06Then it would build and crescendo, yeah.
00:06:08Yeah.
00:06:08He told me how he got started with the Beatles.
00:06:11I got an audition with George Harrison and Paul McCartney.
00:06:14And Paul said, yeah, well, we'll sign him.
00:06:18It's historic.
00:06:19Looking back on it, it seems like it happened to someone else.
00:06:21But I'm told I was there.
00:06:23What would you do if I sang out of tune?
00:06:37Would you stand up and walk out on me?
00:06:42Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song.
00:06:47And I'll try not to sing out of heat.
00:06:51Oh, baby, I'll be fine.
00:06:55You know I'm going to need my friend.
00:06:57I will try not to sing out of heat.
00:07:00Hey, I will try not to sing out of heat.
00:07:04Oh, my friend.
00:07:15I will try not to sing out of heat.
00:07:19I need someone to love.
00:07:24Oh, do you want to be?
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28Oh, I don't want to sing back to love.
00:07:35Oh, my God.
00:07:37like
00:07:41oh
00:07:49man
00:08:00I won't cry
00:08:03I won't cry
00:08:05I won't cry
00:08:08I won't cry
00:08:30Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, now you've given me two minutes, two seconds.
00:08:48Way to go, Philo Cocker.
00:08:51No, you can't.
00:08:52That is a Smackdown way to start the show.
00:08:56Killer.
00:08:56Killer.
00:08:56Thank you so much.
00:08:57I think we kind of got to see a different side of you, and I feel like every week you are giving more entertainment value.
00:09:06And to take that song that is a part of so many of our childhoods, such an iconic song, and make it your own.
00:09:15It was truly, like Lionel said, a wonderful way to start the show.
00:09:19Thank you so much.
00:09:20Yeah, we're kind of segueing into the moment of the competition where we start really digging in and being a little tougher on you guys and you guys and girls.
00:09:31But I can't say anything bad about that.
00:09:35That was amazing.
00:09:36That was, you know, that was the right song for the kind of singer you are.
00:09:43I mean, that was the big voice you are, and that was the perfect song for you to pick.
00:09:47Thank you so much.
00:09:48There you go, Philo.
00:09:48Way to kick it off.
00:09:50Thank you, Lionel.
00:09:50We have some friends.
00:09:54Are you guys with Philo?
00:10:01Okay, I figured.
00:10:02You're going to tell.
00:10:02Is he your friend?
00:10:03Yep.
00:10:04Philo!
00:10:05Hold on.
00:10:06Hold on.
00:10:06Philo!
00:10:07Philo!
00:10:08All right.
00:10:09We know his name.
00:10:12Where are all these people from?
00:10:14They're from back home, from L.A., from everywhere.
00:10:16I love you guys.
00:10:16Thank you for being here.
00:10:17You're out of my heart.
00:10:18I sing this song for you.
00:10:19I love you so much.
00:10:20I wouldn't be here without you.
00:10:21Church, too?
00:10:22Church, school, everywhere.
00:10:24And, yeah, they're here.
00:10:25They came all the way from the Bay Area, so it means the world, and I love you guys so much.
00:10:33Nobody was in the pews this morning.
00:10:35You guys are all here, right?
00:10:35Church was empty this morning.
00:10:37I can tell you that.
00:10:37Come on.
00:10:37That's it.
00:10:38Get up here.
00:10:39Philo needs your help to make the top 12.
00:10:41You can vote for him right now online via the app by texting.
00:10:45That is Philo.
00:10:49Another Rock and Roll Hall of Fame pick.
00:10:57How about some Janis Joplin from Maddie Pruitt?
00:11:00Check it out.
00:11:02Going into mentoring, I really wanted James Taylor to help me connect with the song.
00:11:07What song are you doing?
00:11:08A Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin.
00:11:10Oh, no kidding?
00:11:11My stepmom suggested it to me.
00:11:12Take it.
00:11:13Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
00:11:17To me, it was a bit of a surprise because Maddie's our youngest artist, and this is a song that you would think of as being sung by a woman, not a girl.
00:11:27Try reciting the lyric without any music, just like it was a line in a play.
00:11:32It's a good way to connect with the story you're telling.
00:11:35Reading the lyrics definitely let me connect with the song.
00:11:38Each time I tell myself that I've had enough, I'm going to show you that a woman can be tough.
00:11:43It's the kind of song where you're expecting to get hurt.
00:11:47Take another little piece of my heart.
00:11:49It's like, you try to take pieces of me, but it ain't working, bro.
00:11:53Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:12:04Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
00:12:14Yeah, didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
00:12:20You know I did.
00:12:22Each time I tell myself that I've had enough, but baby, I'm going to show you a woman can't suck.
00:12:33Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:12:40Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
00:12:46Take another little piece of my heart.
00:12:49Baby, have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
00:12:57You know you got it if it makes you feel good.
00:13:03And each time I tell myself that I've had enough, but baby, I'm going to show you a woman can't suck.
00:13:14So come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:13:21Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
00:13:25Oh, take it.
00:13:28Take another little piece of my heart, baby.
00:13:32Oh, take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
00:13:37Oh, you know you get it if it makes you feel good.
00:13:46Love it.
00:14:03Maddie, that was a great song choice for your voice and obviously for the night.
00:14:11If there's anything, like you sang that wonderfully.
00:14:14I love your look for this.
00:14:16I love you getting into character.
00:14:17If there's anything I can say to you is you've got to find your sass.
00:14:21You've got to find that sass, sister.
00:14:23I want to see you getting like, because you're so sweet and you're so smiley
00:14:27and you look so gorgeous.
00:14:28You need some sass, girl.
00:14:30Come on.
00:14:31All right.
00:14:33Yeah, more, more digging in of just letting yourself,
00:14:38don't be scared of yourself.
00:14:39Your voice vocally, that was one of my favorite vocal performances
00:14:44I've heard you do.
00:14:46So take that vocal and then now just build on the sass.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:52I mean, first of all, first of all, who do you think you are?
00:14:56I mean, out here at this age, acting like a full grown superstar.
00:15:01Listen, let me tell you something.
00:15:02If you just lean in, take that advice to what they just said,
00:15:07you're on your way to something.
00:15:08You just have to get more confidence, more stage presence.
00:15:12Your delivery was wonderful.
00:15:13Hi, Maddie.
00:15:17Good to see you.
00:15:19So just picking up on what Carrie said, how does one practice sassing?
00:15:24I think it's like you have the voice.
00:15:27You have it.
00:15:28It's there.
00:15:29Don't worry about that anymore.
00:15:30It's just really having fun with it.
00:15:32And that's what it is.
00:15:33Like listening to the lyrics and being like, I'm just going to,
00:15:36I'm going to be in the song and I'm going to mean what I'm singing.
00:15:38Sass it up, right?
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:42If Maddie stole your heart, show it by voting for her.
00:15:46Send them in online or via the app.
00:15:48Text voting is also available to subscribers of all wireless carriers.
00:15:51Thank you, Maddie.
00:15:53Good luck.
00:16:00We've merely scratched the surface.
00:16:02Next, John Foster on a classic from Elvis Presley.
00:16:05Plus, Desmond Roberts takes on our own Lionel Richie.
00:16:09And Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night continues live here on American Idol.
00:16:27You're locked on American Idol and our Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night.
00:16:31Don't forget, we'll have your live results coming at the end of the show.
00:16:35So it's important that you vote.
00:16:36Now, watch how James Taylor helped John Foster lean into one of Elvis Presley's biggest hits.
00:16:43Here we are.
00:16:44So, John, tell me, what's your song?
00:16:46I'm going to give us what I think is the rock and roll classic,
00:16:48Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley.
00:16:53I'm doing an Elvis song, so the pressure's on.
00:16:55And I want to pay homage to him, but I don't want to be an Elvis impersonator.
00:16:58I want to do this song and I want to do my moves how I would do it.
00:17:01John Foster obviously enjoys performing.
00:17:05He's just the right person to do this.
00:17:08There's that instrumental break where it goes through and maybe ten bars of it.
00:17:11That's a sort of a break in the action.
00:17:13I haven't really had the chance to kind of do a little bit of moves on the idle stage yet.
00:17:18And so I think this would be a good chance.
00:17:20The guitar player that's going to do the solo is going to be kind of near me.
00:17:22So maybe just like mosey on and over to them.
00:17:24Ask the guitar player to do an instrumental break where it goes through and maybe ten bars of it.
00:17:28That's a sort of a break in the action.
00:17:30I haven't really had the chance to kind of do a little bit of moves on the idle stage yet.
00:17:35And so I think this would be a good chance.
00:17:37The guitar player that's going to do the solo is going to be kind of near me.
00:17:39So maybe just like mosey on and over to them.
00:17:41Ask the guitar player to move as little as possible so that it's you who's doing the moving.
00:17:46It's a go big or go home moment.
00:17:48I'm definitely going to be watching that.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:51Something like that.
00:17:55You ready to rock the house tonight?
00:17:59Wording through party in the county jail.

00:31:56all over the
00:31:57world
00:31:58jump up
00:31:59and shout
00:31:59So when when you first started singing, I was kind of like, I felt like you were being
00:32:29a little bit timid. And then as the song progressed, I understood that you had to have somewhere
00:32:33to go. That was really great. Obviously, everybody in this room loved it. Perfect. I feel like
00:32:43with anybody else that could have come off as some sort of like wedding karaoke thing.
00:32:48Not with you, sir. Not with you, sir. That was amazing. Thank you. Just it's just smart
00:32:55for you to do that performance just then. It's energetic. It's fun. It shows personality.
00:33:00It shows you being free. And man, you just knock it out of the park every week, every
00:33:05week. Well, well, you don't even understand. I saw you when I was a little boy in 77. You
00:33:15see, I saw you because that was so pro. It was so professional. Man, you are so good.
00:33:24So. You want to go see daddy?
00:33:36You got him? You got him? Put your hand up on the bottom.
00:33:46Lyric and Harmony. Haven't seen dad in a long time. They are so sweet. How long has it
00:33:54been? It's been about a month. You can set them down if you need to. I know
00:33:57they're heavy. No, no, no, no. I was holding them backstage going, hurry up, Luke. Hurry
00:34:02up, Lyman. Lyman, you kind of looked good doing that. That was. Yeah, you looked like
00:34:09you're ready for that. You know anyone? If Jamal, if you want to shout, you can go from right
00:34:21now online or via the app. If you text your votes, data and message rates may apply. They're
00:34:27so cute and so sweet. Thank you for coming to see daddy. Did you have a good time? Jamal
00:34:34Roberts, everyone. Thank you. Careful on the stairs, please. We got to go back there just
00:34:45hugging everybody. Coming up, it's a doubleheader first. Amanda Barise takes on Michael Jackson
00:34:52and then Kanan James Hill digs into the queen of soul, Aretha Franklin. That's all happening
00:34:58next on Idol. Who's in your contacts? We'll be right back. Welcome back to American Idol.
00:35:13If you haven't voted this season, please start tonight. It is so easy. This next performer
00:35:19wants to be in the top 10. But first, she's got to connect on this Michael Jackson deep
00:35:23gun. Here is Amanda Barise. My exposure to rock music is through my father. He was in
00:35:34a band in the 60s and the 70s. Probably one of the main reasons I'm standing here with you
00:35:38today. The song that I'm going to be singing is I Can't Help It by Michael Jackson. I was
00:35:43looking in the mirror. This is a jazz singer's piece. Help it if I want to do good and help
00:35:50it. The fact that she scats in it, improvises, that's a delightful and unusual thing. I think
00:35:58when you start scatting, we tend to sort of close your eyes and pull in. That's the time
00:36:03actually when you should open up and make a connection. It's so important to connect with
00:36:12the audience. I hope they see I'm worthy of the judges save. Beautiful. Wow. I wish I could sing like
00:36:20that. I was looking in the mirror. It took me by surprise. I can't help but see you. You're
00:36:45nothing from my mind. Help us like a baby. I sent you for discounts. I'm so glad I found
00:37:00you. It's getting better for all the time. Can't help it if I wanted to. Couldn't help it
00:37:09even if I could. Couldn't help it if I wanted to. Couldn't help it. No. I can't
00:37:15help it if I wanted to. Couldn't help it. Even if I could. Hell. But if I wanted to. Couldn't help
00:37:22Oh, love took on my fingers
00:37:37So softly while you sigh
00:37:41Love came and possessed you
00:37:45Then it sparkles to your eyes
00:37:50I can't help it if I wanted to
00:37:57Couldn't help even if I could care
00:38:00Help it if I wanted to
00:38:02Couldn't help it
00:38:03I can't help it if I wanted to
00:38:06Couldn't help it
00:38:07Even if I could care
00:38:09Help it if I wanted to
00:38:10Couldn't help it
00:38:12Oh, yes, yeah.
00:38:35Look at you.
00:38:37Look at you.
00:38:38Great job.
00:38:39I mean, what pro moves, pro sing, and stage presence went to another level, crushed it.
00:38:45All right.
00:38:47Luke, I have an announcement.
00:38:50Michael couldn't sing like that either.
00:38:52No, that was amazing.
00:38:54You did a great job.
00:38:55I love that.
00:38:56Thank you, sir.
00:38:57Yeah, I'm just going to ditto what these guys just said.
00:39:00That was incredible.
00:39:03Singing out for dad.
00:39:04Yes, sir.

00:39:19Amanda Barice, everyone.
00:39:27Now let's see James Taylor and Kane and James Hill work together on a song from Hall of Famer
00:39:33Aretha Franklin.
00:39:35Watch this.
00:39:37This one was a little bit challenging for me to pick a song.
00:39:39I was like, how can I church up a rock song?
00:39:43So Kane and the song you've chosen.
00:39:46I'm going to be singing Mary, Don't You Wait by Aretha Franklin.
00:39:48It is a popular song for me and my family and the church.
00:39:53It's one of our favorites.
00:39:55Oh, Mary.
00:39:58Kane and it's a surprisingly evolved sound that he's got.
00:40:02I do think I'd like to see you make a little bit more eye contact with the audience.
00:40:07Have you come with some family members?
00:40:09Yes, sir.
00:40:09My grandfather, my mother, and my two siblings.
00:40:12That's always useful to me is to be able to have an idea of where someone I know is
00:40:16in the audience.
00:40:17James gave me some advice to look at my family and make a connection with them while performing
00:40:22the song.
00:40:22You took it to the right direction of life.
00:40:25So, yeah, I'll be looking around for my family.
00:40:29Beautiful.
00:42:12Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:42:28Hey, Lou, hey, Lou, Carrie, Aretha didn't sing like that either.
00:42:34No, that was, it was, it was unbelievable.
00:42:45I mean, vocals like spot on, of course, we would expect nothing less from you, Kanan.
00:42:50But I kind of think you cheated the system a little bit on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night.
00:42:55I wanted to see you rock out.
00:42:58And at some point, I want to see you like do something really unexpected.
00:43:02I think jaws would drop, heads would explode.
00:43:05Come on.
00:43:06Come on.
00:43:07Yes.
00:43:08And Carrie's right on that.
00:43:10I mean, we love the gospel stuff, but like I said, like take our head off with something completely out of nowhere.
00:43:18And did he hit a note that made you sneeze?
00:43:21It did.
00:43:22Did he hit a note?
00:43:23Right behind what I was like.
00:43:25I mean, the note you hit, yeah, I was like, that made her sneeze.
00:43:30Thank you so much.
00:43:32Good one.
00:43:35And you've been having some fun with fellow contestant Shea working on your British accent, I hear.
00:43:40Hello, mate.
00:43:40I have.
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42What do you think of that?
00:43:43Is that all right, Shea?
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:44It's getting better.
00:43:46It's getting better.
00:43:47Yeah, it's getting better.
00:43:48Let's hear you do an American accent.
00:43:50Hey, y'all.
00:43:53That was Luke Bryan.
00:43:54That was me.
00:43:55That was your Luke Bryan impression right there.
00:43:57It's time to vote for Kanan right now if you want to keep him in the competition.
00:44:01The voting is open when?
00:44:04Now.
00:44:04Now?
00:44:05Yeah.
00:44:05And it's closing the final commercial break, so don't wait.
00:44:10Vote.
00:44:10Vote.
00:44:10Vote.

00:44:12Night, mate.
00:44:13Very good.
00:44:14How y'all doing?
00:44:19Pretty good, right?
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:21Coming up, Josh King with a song from fellow piano man Billy Joel.
00:44:25Plus, Thunderstorm Ortiz gets schooled on his James Taylor song, of course, by the legend himself.
00:44:33Titles Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night continues, y'all, right after this.
00:44:36Learn more at rogers.com slash Xfinity.
00:44:47I hope so.
00:44:51Thanks for keeping it here on Idol.
00:44:54It's so fitting to see Carrie perform alone earlier because tomorrow night, the lucky 12 finalists will celebrate the music of Idol superstars with our iconic Idol Moments show.
00:45:05And Idol icon herself, Fantasia, will mentor.
00:45:08So make sure you're here for it tomorrow.
00:45:108, 7 Central on ABC.
00:45:12Now, let's see how James Taylor helped Josh King with his Billy Joel song choice.
00:45:17Here it is.
00:45:20Josh.
00:45:21Welcome, James.
00:45:21It's nice to meet you.
00:45:22My mom introduced me to James Taylor when I was five or six years old, and I've been listening to his music ever since.
00:45:29I will be doing Billy Joel's The Longest Time.
00:45:31He's on the edge of his chest voice and his head voice.
00:45:39Do you think you can sing that whole thing in your chest voice?
00:45:41I mean, I can do it in chest voice, but it gets really pushy.
00:45:44When you go to your chest voice, it's very hard to control the volume.
00:45:47You kind of risk your voice cracking when you're doing those high notes.
00:45:50It was good doing the whole thing in your chest.
00:45:53Maybe.
00:45:53I am slightly mixed on it, because I do kind of like how flipping into head voice sounds, but it is a very slippery slope.
00:46:00My mom's a massive fan of you.
00:46:02Is she here with you?
00:46:03Her getting to meet him.
00:46:04Hi, James.
00:46:06Was a dream come true for her.
00:46:07An honor to meet you.
00:46:08For the longest time.
00:46:15Oh!
00:46:19Oh!
00:46:20For the longest time
00:46:22Whoa!
00:46:24For the longest time
00:46:27Said goodbye to me tonight
00:46:30There would still be music left to write
00:46:36But as could I do
00:46:39I'm so inspired by you
00:46:42That hasn't happened for the longest time
00:46:46For the longest time
00:46:52For the longest time
00:46:58Maybe this won't last very long
00:47:04But you feel so right
00:47:06And I could be wrong
00:47:09Maybe I've been hoping too hard
00:47:14But I've come this far
00:47:17And this far that I hope for
00:47:21Who knows how much further we'll go on
00:47:28Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
00:47:34I'll take my chances
00:47:36I forgot how nice what message
00:47:39I have been there for the longest time
00:47:44Whoa, for the longest time
00:47:50Whoa, for the longest time
00:47:58Josh, you're one of our artists here
00:48:14that I feel like you really know who you are
00:48:17And it's a hard thing
00:48:18You're probably like, what? What? I do?
00:48:21You appear to, at least
00:48:22And I feel like that was a great song choice for you
00:48:25You had fun with it
00:48:26It was really nice
00:48:28Thank you
00:48:29Charming, endearing
00:48:33Like throwing winks at the camera
00:48:35Yeah
00:48:36Kicking it back on the piano
00:48:37Yeah
00:48:38It's like, we're just, you know
00:48:39Just another day at the office
00:48:40I mean, some people said
00:48:41They want to be back on the piano
00:48:43Technically
00:48:44Yeah
00:48:46Technically
00:48:46Yeah
00:48:48Anyway, great job
00:48:49All right
00:48:50So
00:48:51So now I'm going to say this to you
00:48:54From here on out
00:48:55Push yourself
00:48:57Yep
00:48:57When I say push yourself
00:48:59I mean, go for the wall
00:49:01Okay?
00:49:02Because you've got the talent in spades
00:49:04You can do it
00:49:06Nice song choice
00:49:08It looked very comfortable
00:49:09Did it seem that way for you?
00:49:11It's a very comfortable team
00:49:12Yes
00:49:12Yes, it is
00:49:13One of the most comfortable in town
00:49:14It really is
00:49:15If you want to see Josh in the top 12 tomorrow night
00:49:17Vote for him right now
00:49:18Vote for him
00:49:19The final commercial
00:49:20Welcome to Chico
00:49:20You'll leave us at the end of the show
00:49:22Josh King, everyone
00:49:24Thank you
00:49:25Thank you, buddy
00:49:25Now he's going with a signature song by James Taylor
00:49:34Let's see what kind of expert advice he had
00:49:36For Thunderstorm Artis
00:49:38It's a new song that maybe you've heard of before
00:49:41It's called Fire and Rain
00:49:42Some guy wrote it
00:49:43A fine choice
00:49:44James Taylor's music has really shaped me
00:49:48As an individual throughout my life
00:49:50I started listening to him for the first time when I was six
00:49:51It's yesterday morning
00:49:54They let me know you were gone
00:49:57Beautiful
00:49:58I would just say remember to keep contact with the audience
00:50:02Keep them involved
00:50:04But he did a version of that
00:50:06That I have not heard
00:50:07Really unique
00:50:08It's so special hearing you say that
00:50:10Because I've connected with your music my entire life
00:50:13And thank you for being an inspiration
00:50:15It means a lot to hear you say it
00:50:16Thank you, man
00:50:17I see him as sort of a version of me
00:50:19I am seeing fire and I'm seeing rain
00:50:22The emotional connection that he has with music
00:50:26And it's a special thing that he wanted to do that song
00:50:29Because I was going to be there
00:50:31Just yesterday morning
00:50:45They let me know you were gone
00:50:48To whose hands are plans
00:50:52You may put an end to you
00:50:55I walked out this morning
00:51:00And I wrote down the song
00:51:03I just can't remember
00:51:07Who descended to you
00:51:10I've seen fire but I've seen rain
00:51:17I've seen sunny days apart but never in
00:51:24I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
00:51:32But I always thought
00:51:36I always thought
00:51:37Always thought
00:51:39But I'll see you
00:51:41See you
00:51:41See you
00:51:42One more time again
00:51:45Oh
00:51:46Oh
00:51:46Want you to look down upon me
00:51:51Jesus
00:51:51You gotta help me make a stand
00:51:55You just gotta see me through another day
00:52:02Oh, come on
00:52:04I've seen fire and I've seen rain
00:52:08I've seen you
00:52:09I've seen you
00:52:11I've seen you
00:52:12Sunny days apart but never in
00:52:15I've seen you
00:52:19Long times when I could not find a friend
00:52:23But I always thought that I'd see you
00:52:27But I always thought that I'd see you
00:52:29One more time again
00:52:33One more time again
00:52:34Well done
00:52:52It had hints of James Taylor
00:52:54But it had a lot of you
00:52:56And your signature stuff in that
00:52:58I'm so jealous of you that you got to sit there with him
00:53:02And play that song with him
00:53:04But way to be you
00:53:06The thunderstorm artiste
00:53:09Yes
00:53:09Thank you
00:53:10Thank you
00:53:11Thank you
00:53:11So
00:53:12So you happen to tip on something
00:53:14First of all
00:53:15I became a writer
00:53:18Because I was listening to James Taylor
00:53:19So you have to understand
00:53:20Secondly, that's one of my favorite songs by him
00:53:22And third
00:53:23You absolutely turned it into your song
00:53:26What a masterful job
00:53:28Thank you
00:53:29Thank you
00:53:29Really
00:53:30Yeah
00:53:31Well done
00:53:32On holding your own
00:53:34With somebody like James Taylor
00:53:36And taking his song
00:53:37And unabashedly
00:53:40Singing it your way
00:53:41For him
00:53:42It's pretty cool
00:53:43Thank you

00:53:56When that happens?
00:53:56Man, you know
00:53:57Like James
00:53:58Like that was amazing to see
00:54:00I was melting in my seat
00:54:01I was nervous as heck
00:54:02But I wasn't showing on the outside
00:54:03He performed just for you
00:54:04All by yourself, James Taylor

00:59:18Keep it locked right here on American Idol.
00:59:21It makes me think of my mom.
00:59:28She would have this blasting all the time.
00:59:32Flying beside you.
00:59:34How did you get into music and into singing?
00:59:36You know, a lot of people say this, but it's just been like an outlet for the things that I was like going through.
00:59:42Dealing with depression and drugs and alcohol.
00:59:46I was low at a point, you know, like so low.
00:59:48I can hear that.
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:49Music saved me.
00:59:51It sounds so parallel to my experience with it.
00:59:54It was a lifesaver for me.
00:59:57We related on a lot of different things.
00:59:59He did things that he wasn't proud of, but he came out on the other side.
01:00:02So I'm really wanting to lay it out there and give people the same hope.
01:00:06I just think you're in a very good place with the music.
01:00:09I love hearing you sing.
01:00:10I love hearing you sing.
01:00:12Crying beside you, here in the dark, filling your heartbeat with mine.
01:00:33And softly whispered, you're so sincere.
01:00:42How could our love be so blind?
01:00:50We sailed on together.
01:00:54We drifted apart.
01:00:57Here you are by my side.
01:01:03So now I come to you
01:01:11With open arms
01:01:15And open to hide
01:01:18And believe what I say
01:01:22So here I am
01:01:26With open arms
01:01:30Open you'll see
01:01:33What your love means to me
01:01:37Open your arms
01:01:44Open your feet
01:01:47What your love means to me
01:01:51What your love means to me
01:01:53What your love means to me
01:01:55Lying beside you
01:01:58Here in the dark
01:02:03Oh, Brianna
01:02:18I think that was a really great song choice
01:02:21Obviously those big soaring notes
01:02:24Are right in your wheelhouse
01:02:26But I know sometimes you get a little tempted
01:02:29To try to make things fancy
01:02:30You know, and you're editing things down
01:02:32And stuff like that
01:02:33Just don't make it too complicated
01:02:36To where you're missing notes or anything
01:02:38Because I feel like some
01:02:39At the end might have got away from you
01:02:41Just a little bit
01:02:43And yeah
01:02:44Were you nervous a little bit?
01:02:47I'm shaking
01:02:47Well that's the first time
01:02:50I've kind of seen you nervous
01:02:51And maybe that song's a little bit
01:02:52Outside your comfort zone
01:02:54So just do whatever you've got to do
01:02:55To kind of not let nerves
01:02:57We know that's hard
01:02:59But just not let nerves affect
01:03:00But your voice was beautiful
01:03:02And a great job
01:03:03Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:03:04So
01:03:05Don't
01:03:08Don't overthink
01:03:10Just relax
01:03:12And give us the best performance
01:03:14That's it
01:03:15Got it?
01:03:18It's understandable
01:03:19That one would be nervous
01:03:21Standing up here on this stage
01:03:22By the way, I just was walking in
01:03:23And a fan gave me this to give to you
01:03:24So
01:03:25That shall help you with your nerves
01:03:26Going forward
01:03:27Thank you

01:04:32Wow
01:04:32It's a Marvin Gaye song he recorded
01:04:34With Tammy Terrell
01:04:35And it's coming from Colby Jordan
01:04:37Shall we?
01:04:38I'm ready to go
01:04:38Hi
01:04:40Can I hug you?
01:04:43James, that man is a legend
01:04:46I'm so excited
01:04:47I am singing
01:04:48You're all I need to get by
01:04:50You're all I need to get by
01:04:53He told me that he wanted me to take the mic off the stand
01:04:57Will you pull the microphone out and go for it?
01:05:00It was just a little move
01:05:02But those things can be really useful to communicate how she feels
01:05:06He's helping me take my performance to another level
01:05:10I think he's helping me not hide behind the mic stand
01:05:13It's really quite wonderful to feel you get into the song
01:05:17I could listen to this all day long
01:05:18I mean
01:05:19Thank you
01:05:20It means a lot coming from
01:05:22Me, James, Taylor, what is that?
01:05:25Oh, God
01:05:26You're all I need to get by
01:05:35You're all I need to get by
01:05:38You're all I need to get by
01:05:40As long as I got you
01:05:41Baby, I know that you got me
01:05:43Like sweet morning dew
01:05:46I took one look at you
01:05:48And it was plain to see
01:05:51That you were my destiny
01:05:53With my arms open wide
01:05:56I threw away my pride
01:05:59I sacrificed for you
01:06:02Dedicated my life to you
01:06:04I'll be right there in a time of need
01:06:10And when I lose my will
01:06:12You'll be right there to push me off the hill
01:06:15And show you
01:06:16Look it back
01:06:18Oh, baby

01:07:54Your personality was showing through
01:07:57Your dress
01:07:57It's like sensory overload
01:07:59Thank you, Luke
01:08:02Luke and Carrie
01:08:06I was back there
01:08:08When they did the song the first time
01:08:11They didn't sing it like that either
01:08:13That was amazing
01:08:17Thank you
01:08:18Everybody vote
01:08:19Y'all vote
01:08:20Yeah, I've said it before
01:08:22And I will say it again
01:08:23We are so stinking spoiled on this show
01:08:25You guys are all just so incredible
01:08:27And I know I'm going to be mad at America
01:08:29No matter what happens tonight
01:08:30Because we have so much talent on this show
01:08:32So you used to sing that
01:08:39And listen to that
01:08:40When you were growing up
01:08:41Yes, instead of waking me up
01:08:43By pancakes and bacon
01:08:44I was waking up by music
01:08:46And that told me
01:08:47I needed to do the dishes
01:08:48So, yeah
01:08:51Was that coming from above
01:08:52Or someone else
01:08:52Yeah, it's coming from mom
01:08:53Oh, mom
01:08:55Mama
01:08:56Like, girl
01:08:58Let me eat pancakes first
01:08:59Please
01:08:59We'll get you some pancakes
01:09:01To that hotel you're staying at now
01:09:02Thank you
01:09:03Good job
01:09:04Colby needs to get by
01:09:05With your votes
01:09:06And into your top 12
01:09:07If you love her
01:09:09Send in those votes
01:09:09Right now
01:09:10It's a killer spot
01:09:11In the show tomorrow
01:09:12And I hate
01:09:13Colby Jordan
01:09:13Well done
01:09:14Good to see you
01:09:15Now, here's Hall of Famer
01:09:22James Saylor
01:09:23And how he connected with Che
01:09:24Take a look
01:09:25Lionel
01:09:28Who's lucky
01:09:28Beat number three
01:09:30Difficult
01:09:31Che
01:09:32Being that I was saved
01:09:36By the judges last week
01:09:38I feel like
01:09:38In this next performance
01:09:39I really have to step up
01:09:40And show them something
01:09:41That I haven't showed them yet
01:09:42You see
01:09:43I'm singing
01:09:45It's a man's world
01:09:46By James Brown
01:09:47The Godfather
01:09:48Yes
01:09:49Fantastic
01:09:50Well, it's been sung
01:09:50On the show
01:09:51A couple of times already
01:09:52I'm gonna have to make
01:09:54My version
01:09:54A little bit different
01:09:55The thing about that
01:09:58Arrangement is that
01:09:59It has such a strong
01:10:00Backbeat
01:10:01Man made the train
01:10:05And if you can pick that snap up
01:10:08Either with a
01:10:08Snap your head at them
01:10:10Or even freeze
01:10:11A man's world
01:10:12You know, I mean
01:10:16Do something physical
01:10:17That emphasizes
01:10:19That particular backbeat thing
01:10:21I think that's a good idea
01:10:22But it's up to him to find it
01:10:28This is a man's world
01:10:34This is a man's world
01:10:39But it wouldn't be nothing
01:10:42Nothing without a woman
01:10:47Or a girl
01:10:50You see
01:10:53Man made the cars
01:10:59To take us over the road
01:11:02Man made the train
01:11:06That carried a heavy load
01:11:11Man made the electric lights
01:11:16To take us out of the dark
01:11:21Man made the boat
01:11:23For the water
01:11:24Like no one made the arc
01:11:28Don't you know
01:11:29This is a man
01:11:30This is a man's world
01:11:34But it wouldn't be nothing
01:11:36Without a woman or a girl
01:11:39This is a man's world
01:12:08This is a man's world
01:12:11Yeah
01:12:12You know, you know, you are
01:12:31You know what's happening
01:12:33You do know what's happening right now
01:12:35Everybody is listening to everybody else
01:12:38And everybody is going to the next level
01:12:40Of their talent
01:12:41You are out of your mind right now
01:12:44Going to the next level
01:12:45I love it
01:12:46Thank you

01:12:50You can sing anything
01:12:51I will say
01:12:52I was kind of crossing my fingers
01:12:53That you would like
01:12:54Rock out
01:12:55But that
01:12:56I mean
01:12:57That was incredible
01:12:57You're great
01:12:58You're so great
01:12:58Thank you
01:12:59America has made the Brit mad

01:14:26It's coming from
01:14:27Slater Nally
01:14:28Watch this
01:14:30I'm going to be singing
01:14:33Your song by Elton John
01:14:34James
01:14:35James Taylor
01:14:36Is our mentor this week
01:14:37And I'm a huge fan
01:14:39I hope you don't mind
01:14:42I hope you don't mind
01:14:43The place where you really increase the intensity
01:14:45That belongs at the end of the song
01:14:47I hope you don't mind
01:14:49That I put down in words
01:14:52Right, yeah
01:14:53It's awesome, man
01:14:54Yeah, I think it's good to do that
01:14:55Yeah
01:14:55I like it
01:14:57Thank you
01:14:58I'm never washing my hands
01:14:59Can I ask you something real quick?
01:15:01Sure
01:15:01What is your favorite song
01:15:03You've ever written?
01:15:04I always seem to come back
01:15:05To playing a song
01:15:07I wrote for my
01:15:07My little nephew
01:15:09He says goodnight
01:15:11Oh you moonlight babies
01:15:14He played a song
01:15:16That was so brilliant
01:15:17And so sweet
01:15:18That it just makes me
01:15:19Want to go upstairs
01:15:20And listen to a million of them
01:15:22Time to rock about
01:15:25Sweet baby Jesus
01:15:27You made me start crying, man
01:15:30I don't even understand why
01:15:31It's a little bit funny
01:15:38Just feeling inside
01:15:42I'm not one of those who can
01:15:46Easily hide
01:15:49I don't have much money
01:15:53But boy if I did
01:15:57I'd buy a big house
01:16:00I swear
01:16:00Both could live
01:16:03You can tell everybody
01:16:09This is your song
01:16:12It may be quite simple
01:16:16But now that it's done
01:16:19I hope you don't mind
01:16:20I hope you don't mind
01:16:22I hope you don't mind
01:16:24That I put down in words
01:16:28How wonderful life is
01:16:34Now you're in the world
01:16:37I sat on the roof
01:16:44And kicked off the moss
01:16:46Well a few
01:16:48Of the verses
01:16:50Well it got me quite cross
01:16:54But the sun's been quite kind
01:16:57But the sun's been quite kind
01:16:58While I wrote this song
01:17:01People like you
01:17:06People like you
01:17:08That
01:17:08Keep it turned on
01:17:12I hope you don't mind
01:17:15I hope you don't mind
01:17:16I hope you don't mind
01:17:18That I put down in words
01:17:21How wonderful life is
01:17:29Now you're in the world
01:17:31How wonderful life is
01:17:38Now you're in the world
01:17:43Thank you
01:17:46That was a
01:18:00It was a really great song choice
01:18:03For sure
01:18:03I love seeing you get emotional
01:18:05With James Taylor
01:18:06He did such a great job
01:18:09With you guys
01:18:09And I mean
01:18:11It is up to America
01:18:12I cannot stress
01:18:14The importance
01:18:14Of America's vote right now
01:18:17It's all in your hands
01:18:19People watching
01:18:20For everybody
01:18:21You're making dreams come true
01:18:23And changing lives
01:18:25So get to work
01:18:27Thank you
01:18:28Slater
01:18:29The fact that you're 18
01:18:30And you're this cool
01:18:32Really makes me mad
01:18:33I tell you what
01:18:36That vibe of that song
01:18:38Really
01:18:39Really puts you
01:18:42In the right light
01:18:43I mean
01:18:43Your ability to really
01:18:44Kind of
01:18:46Have that maturity
01:18:47While you're delivering
01:18:48Those words
01:18:49Is just
