1
00:00:01,230 --> 00:00:03,265
Everybody in this room is
going on to the next round.

2
00:00:10,172 --> 00:00:11,139
Wait, wait, wait.

3
00:00:11,207 --> 00:00:12,874
Time out, time out!

4
00:00:12,942 --> 00:00:15,076
We got a little
announcement to make.

5
00:00:15,144 --> 00:00:20,048
The numbers are so big this year...
You're now all going tomorrow...

6
00:00:20,116 --> 00:00:21,616
To Vegas for!

7
00:00:25,354 --> 00:00:29,524
They may be happy now...
But they're about to face their

8
00:00:29,592 --> 00:00:31,860
toughest challenge yet.

9
00:00:31,927 --> 00:00:35,363
What they don't know is
that this is no vacation.

10
00:00:35,431 --> 00:00:37,799
We're looking for
superstars here.

11
00:00:37,867 --> 00:00:41,736
They must learn and perform a
Beatles song in just 24 hours.

12
00:00:41,804 --> 00:00:43,938
No! Sing, damn it!

13
00:00:45,808 --> 00:00:49,944
Fail this mission,
and be sent packing.

14
00:00:50,012 --> 00:00:53,481
They have one shot to prove themselves...
Put the pedal down!

15
00:00:53,549 --> 00:00:57,118
As they take the stage to perform
the Beatles' biggest hits.

16
00:00:57,186 --> 00:01:00,322
Oh, my God! Aah!

17
00:01:00,389 --> 00:01:04,159
And the talent this year is unmatched...
You rock my world.

18
00:01:04,226 --> 00:01:06,194
Very, very nice!

19
00:01:06,262 --> 00:01:10,865
Which make these final cuts that much harder...
It's the end of the line.

20
00:01:10,933 --> 00:01:13,101
As we whittle away at the
remaining contestants...

21
00:01:13,169 --> 00:01:15,303
We have to start making cuts.

22
00:01:15,371 --> 00:01:19,207
To reveal your top 24.

23
00:01:21,677 --> 00:01:26,481
And if you're lucky enough to survive Vegas...
You'll still have to face the

24
00:01:26,549 --> 00:01:28,183
final judgment.

25
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:30,852
And it honestly breaks my heart.

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,588
To say this, but you did not
make it into the top 24.

27
00:01:37,927 --> 00:01:40,328
I don't wanna do this anymore.

28
00:02:14,130 --> 00:02:19,634
We started with 327...
And tonight, only 61 remain.

29
00:02:19,702 --> 00:02:22,036
These contestants may think
that the heat of Hollywood week

30
00:02:22,104 --> 00:02:23,905
is in the rearview mirror.

31
00:02:23,973 --> 00:02:30,211
But really, their biggest
challenge is on the horizon.

32
00:02:30,279 --> 00:02:35,150
Right now, the contestants are
aboard buses bound for Vegas.

33
00:02:35,217 --> 00:02:37,952
I can't believe I'm going
to Vegas right now.

34
00:02:38,020 --> 00:02:39,654
To perform, dude.

35
00:02:39,722 --> 00:02:41,122
I know.

36
00:02:41,123 --> 00:02:43,858
Last night, they divided
themselves into duos and trios.

37
00:02:43,859 --> 00:02:45,026
Sophia, Ashley.

38
00:02:45,094 --> 00:02:46,094
Yes.

39
00:02:46,162 --> 00:02:48,329
They picked out songs they hoped
they could do justice to.

40
00:02:48,397 --> 00:02:49,431
Let it be, baby.

41
00:02:49,498 --> 00:02:52,734
Though everyone was all smiles
on the bus, 1/3 of them

42
00:02:52,802 --> 00:02:55,370
will be cut when this
round concludes.

43
00:02:55,438 --> 00:02:57,539
Everyone's talent is ridiculous.

44
00:02:57,606 --> 00:03:00,041
And what better place to hold
this event than at cirque du

45
00:03:00,109 --> 00:03:02,944
soleil's Beatles love at
the mirage in Las Vegas?

46
00:03:03,012 --> 00:03:04,546
It's make it or break it.

47
00:03:04,613 --> 00:03:07,649
So they traveled on buses
through the desert, and right

48
00:03:07,716 --> 00:03:10,718
now the contestants are behind
these doors, starting to

49
00:03:10,786 --> 00:03:12,821
rehearse their Beatles songs.

50
00:03:12,822 --> 00:03:18,126
It's now 10:00 in the morning,
and performances start in 24

51
00:03:18,127 --> 00:03:20,462
hours, so the clock is ticking
as contestants desperately try

52
00:03:20,529 --> 00:03:22,697
to get their Beatles
songs together.

53
00:03:24,033 --> 00:03:25,066
One more time.

54
00:03:25,134 --> 00:03:25,900
Sing now.

55
00:03:25,968 --> 00:03:28,870
In rehearsal room one,
Milwaukee's thia megia and New

56
00:03:28,938 --> 00:03:32,173
Jersey's Melinda ademi are
getting some direct advice from

57
00:03:32,241 --> 00:03:33,875
vocal coach peggi blu.

58
00:03:33,943 --> 00:03:35,376
We're in work mode now.

59
00:03:35,444 --> 00:03:38,513
We're gonna run this one more
time, and if you're still

60
00:03:38,581 --> 00:03:42,350
reading lyrics, that means you are
truly not ready to do this gig.

61
00:03:42,418 --> 00:03:44,519
This is a gig, kids.

62
00:03:44,587 --> 00:03:46,187
This is a show.

63
00:03:46,255 --> 00:03:49,390
And across the hall, Denise
Jackson, Lauren alaina, and

64
00:03:49,458 --> 00:03:52,193
Scotty mccreery are
struggling with their song.

We'll fine-tune the harmonies.

69
00:04:04,006 --> 00:04:08,042
Soon, the pressure of perfection
bears down on Lauren.

71
00:04:10,579 --> 00:04:13,181

there and not like...
Impress them with it.

73
00:04:15,918 --> 00:04:17,552
That would be like the worst
feeling in the world.

74
00:04:17,620 --> 00:04:18,419
I don't wanna go home.

75
00:04:18,487 --> 00:04:19,287
I can't go home.

76
00:04:19,355 --> 00:04:20,388
This means everything to me.

77
00:04:20,456 --> 00:04:23,124
Oh, gosh.

78
00:04:23,192 --> 00:04:27,812
And as the morning turns to afternoon...
Everyone is becoming overwhelmed.

79
00:04:29,014 --> 00:04:30,348
Aah!

80
00:04:30,416 --> 00:04:32,550
And groups start to fall apart.

81
00:04:32,618 --> 00:04:33,484
I really want your criticism.

82
00:04:33,552 --> 00:04:36,154
It's just... it's coming
down hard on me.

83
00:04:36,222 --> 00:04:39,490
You guys gotta bring a whole lot
more to the table than you brought.

84
00:04:39,558 --> 00:04:42,861
By 4:00 P.M., the vocal coaches
are also adding to the

85
00:04:42,928 --> 00:04:46,631
anxiety as they ask for nothing
less than perfection...

86
00:04:46,699 --> 00:04:49,934

I said "it's all right."

100
00:05:23,736 --> 00:05:25,403
Guess what.

101
00:05:25,471 --> 00:05:28,206
You're gonna die on the stage
in front of all those people.

102
00:05:28,274 --> 00:05:34,445
I'm going to be layin' in my
bed, watching you just croak.

103
00:05:34,513 --> 00:05:38,182
And when I get the phone call
that says, "did you do these

104
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:40,518
two?" I'm gonna go, "hell, no!"

105
00:05:40,586 --> 00:05:44,789
But perhaps Peggy's most valuable
lesson was her philosophy on teamwork.

106
00:05:44,857 --> 00:05:47,592
Bury her ass on stage.

107
00:05:47,660 --> 00:05:50,461
Tap right dance on her tongue.

108
00:05:50,529 --> 00:05:53,331
I think you don't know
what you're doing.

109
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:54,532
Make me a liar.

110
00:05:54,600 --> 00:06:00,905
Show me that you know...
And I will eat crow happily.

111
00:06:00,973 --> 00:06:04,509
I'll put some salt
on it and swallow.

112
00:06:04,576 --> 00:06:07,161
But there is an even harder
pill to swallow for other

113
00:06:07,246 --> 00:06:10,815
contestants... learning
just who the Beatles are.

114
00:06:10,866 --> 00:06:13,601
I don't know very much about the Beatles
other than that they're amazing.

115
00:06:13,669 --> 00:06:15,503
I don't know many Beatles songs.

116
00:06:15,571 --> 00:06:17,839
I have never heard a
Beatles song in my life.

117
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:21,976
Enter our expert...
Interscope mogul Jimmy iovine

118
00:06:22,044 --> 00:06:25,880
who's worked hand-in-hand with
the Beatles' own John Lennon.

119
00:06:25,881 --> 00:06:30,184
And his impromptu visit means a
surprise stress for the contestants.

120
00:06:30,252 --> 00:06:33,054
They must now perform their
song in front of him and his

121
00:06:33,122 --> 00:06:36,224
team of the best music
producers in the business.

122
00:06:36,291 --> 00:06:42,063
First up to face the fire is
Lauren, Denise, and Scotty.

129
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:01,649
I think you can go to a new different song so...
I don't think this song is

130
00:07:01,717 --> 00:07:04,919
helping any one of you
to show your voices off.

131
00:07:04,987 --> 00:07:07,321
Why don't you go listen
to songs, right?

132
00:07:07,389 --> 00:07:09,657
You ain't gonna win
singing that song.

133
00:07:09,725 --> 00:07:13,594
Lauren's group goes back to the drawing
board in search for another song.

134
00:07:13,662 --> 00:07:16,297
It was just embarrassing,
mostly, to be in front of all

135
00:07:16,365 --> 00:07:19,834
those important people and just like...
Totally screw up.

136
00:07:19,902 --> 00:07:22,637
And back in rehearsal room,
it soon became clear that

137
00:07:22,705 --> 00:07:26,307
Jimmy's beatle workshop was not
going to be a walk in the park.

138
00:07:26,375 --> 00:07:29,777
That's not what
we're looking for.

139
00:07:29,845 --> 00:07:31,646
You're dead.

140
00:07:31,714 --> 00:07:35,616
If you've seen it at a wedding,
you've seen it at the happy hour

141
00:07:35,684 --> 00:07:41,589
in a bar, or if you've seen it in karaoke,
it's not what we're lookin' for.

142
00:07:41,657 --> 00:07:46,394
Just when it seems the contestants
have reached their breaking point...

143
00:07:46,462 --> 00:07:49,931
Relief is on the horizon.

144
00:07:49,998 --> 00:07:52,900
To gain some much-needed
inspiration for tomorrow's

145
00:07:52,968 --> 00:07:56,003
performances, the contestants
were invited to see the Beatles

146
00:07:56,071 --> 00:07:57,839
love by cirque du soleil.

147
00:07:57,906 --> 00:08:01,876
♪ Love love love ♪

148
00:08:01,944 --> 00:08:06,647
For the contestants, tonight the
stage represents a whimsical dream.

149
00:08:06,715 --> 00:08:10,818
♪ Love love love ♪

150
00:08:10,886 --> 00:08:15,423
But tomorrow, the same theater could
turn into their worst nightmare...

151
00:08:15,491 --> 00:08:19,026
As several Idol dreams
will come crashing down.

152
00:08:19,094 --> 00:08:26,801
Over the next two hours...
The competition heats up... very, very nice!

153
00:08:26,869 --> 00:08:29,771
As the earlier drama...
Sing, damn it!

154
00:08:29,838 --> 00:08:31,639
Continues onstage.

155
00:08:31,707 --> 00:08:33,007
It just didn't work.

156
00:08:34,676 --> 00:08:37,278
Plus...
Beatles love is in the air.

157
00:08:37,346 --> 00:08:39,347
You may kiss your bride.

158
00:08:39,414 --> 00:08:41,949
While back on the
ground, cuts run deep.

159
00:08:42,017 --> 00:08:43,217
I wanna lose both of these.

160
00:08:43,285 --> 00:08:45,086
Yeah, I already did.

161
00:08:45,154 --> 00:08:48,689
For many contestants, what happened
to them in Vegas... I can't go home.

162
00:08:48,757 --> 00:08:50,024
This means everything to me.

163
00:08:50,092 --> 00:08:50,992
Will stay there.

164
00:08:51,059 --> 00:08:52,460
You're goin' home.

165
00:08:52,528 --> 00:08:56,497
Then the survivors take the stage
for one last shot at their dream...

166
00:08:56,565 --> 00:08:57,465
I think you're amazing.

167
00:08:57,533 --> 00:08:58,399
Whoo!

168
00:08:58,467 --> 00:09:00,568
Before facing the
final judgment.

169
00:09:00,636 --> 00:09:01,869
You made it into the top 24.

170
00:09:01,937 --> 00:09:04,972
That's all happening tonight.

171
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:17,222
Daybreak. Las Vegas.

172
00:09:17,223 --> 00:09:20,459
After a grueling night of
rehearsals, the contestants are

173
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:24,596
onstage at the cirque du soleil's Beatles
love going through some last minute

174
00:09:24,664 --> 00:09:26,131
revisions.

175
00:09:26,199 --> 00:09:30,369
These groups have had one day
to perfect one song and try to

176
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:34,973
survive being eliminated
this close to the live show.

177
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:37,042
So here's how this
is gonna work.

178
00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:40,846
The 61 remaining contestants
will take the love stage here to

179
00:09:40,913 --> 00:09:43,982
perform their Beatles
songs in duos and trios.

180
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,052
Now, it should be a spectacle
like we've never seen before on

181
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,122
the show, but this is
still a competition.

182
00:09:50,189 --> 00:09:53,492
As Jennifer and Randy settle
in, Steven shares what these

183
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,394
auditions mean to him.

184
00:09:55,461 --> 00:09:58,263
This is freaking me out because
beatle land's where I live, you know?

185
00:09:58,331 --> 00:09:59,664
Stand by.

186
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,867
That's the joy of this is
something I grew up on, them

187
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:04,069
singing it for the first time.

188
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:05,337
We are rolling, everybody.

189
00:10:05,405 --> 00:10:06,405
We are rolling.

190
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:11,009

stefano langone and James durbin.

Unreal, you guys.

218
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:02,561
I don't think I've ever heard two
higher voices together before.

219
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:07,232
James, man, you went up
into the way-out-o-sphere.

220
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,200
Yeah.

221
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:09,234
You went up into squeak land.

222
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:10,268
Yes, sir.

223
00:11:10,336 --> 00:11:11,570
That's insane.

224
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:12,804
I liked it too, you know.

225
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,740
Listen, I mean, stefano, it
started off a little slow like

226
00:11:15,808 --> 00:11:18,243
you were a little
kind of timid there.

227
00:11:18,311 --> 00:11:19,744
You were like, "aw, man..."

228
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:21,746
And I was like, "yo, come on,
kick in, man, kick in, I know

229
00:11:21,814 --> 00:11:24,115
you got it," and finally,
you got it together.

230
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:25,217
Thank you so much.

231
00:11:25,284 --> 00:11:26,284
Thank you.

232
00:11:28,754 --> 00:11:30,689
Great kick-off.

233
00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:34,626
So James and stefano leave the stage
happy with their performance.

234
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:37,362
There we go, baby, there we
go, baby, there we go, baby.

235
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:40,599
Our next contestants, pia
toscano from new Jersey

236
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:45,537
and MySpace's Karen Rodriguez, this
contest is pitting friend against friend.

237
00:11:45,605 --> 00:11:48,273
And I caught up with
them in the coke room.

238
00:11:48,341 --> 00:11:49,541
How did you know each other?

239
00:11:49,609 --> 00:11:50,775
All through high school.

240
00:11:50,843 --> 00:11:51,710
High school.

241
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:52,577
We went to high school.

242
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,412
We went to laguardia high school
of performing arts in New York

243
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,915
city, and we were in a group
called music singers.

244
00:11:56,983 --> 00:11:59,918
And we rolled together, we performed
together, so we... all the time.

245
00:11:59,986 --> 00:12:02,153
We were... we were like
inseparable, kind of.

246
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:04,823
Like we were always together, working
together, and we gel well musically.

247
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:07,626
So it's serendipitous that
you're sitting here together...

248
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:08,793
Performing on this show.

249
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:09,594
Yes.

250
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:10,428
Definitely.

251
00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:12,330
You go get set, and we'll

Thank you so much.

Beautiful, beautiful.

277
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,414
Well, you know what
I love about that?

278
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:05,050
I feel like you guys get it,
like you know what it is to be a

279
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:07,586
professional, that when you get
up there, you have to give a

280
00:13:07,653 --> 00:13:10,989
show, and I really feel like you
guys did that, so I love that.

281
00:13:11,057 --> 00:13:12,457
Your smiles are beautiful.

282
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:13,358
It's just... mmm.

283
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:14,459
I love the whole thing.

284
00:13:14,527 --> 00:13:16,861
And you know, for me, it built
so well because it started

285
00:13:16,929 --> 00:13:18,330
off, and I got really worried.

286
00:13:18,397 --> 00:13:20,865
I thought you guys picked the
wrong key, it was too low, there

287
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:23,368
wasn't anything there
for your voices.

288
00:13:23,436 --> 00:13:24,603
And then you took off.

289
00:13:24,670 --> 00:13:27,772
You jumped the fence and ran off into
the field, and it was just perfect.

290
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,773
Really good job, you guys.

291
00:13:28,841 --> 00:13:29,641
Very nice, very nice.

292
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:31,109
Thank you.

293
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:32,143
Yeah!

294
00:13:32,211 --> 00:13:33,545
So a hard act to follow.

295
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:36,414
But backstage, Jacob lusk from
Los Angeles and Milwaukee

296
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,884
contestant Haley rinehart and
naima adedapo are ready for

297
00:13:39,952 --> 00:13:41,953
their moment in the spotlight.

298
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:45,590
Yesterday, Jimmy gave them
some hard-hitting advice.

299
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,727
You have a lot of
firepower, like Bono.

300
00:13:48,794 --> 00:13:52,731
If he used it all the time, he'd be
working in a cafe in dublin or a pub.

301
00:13:52,798 --> 00:13:55,634
You can't over-sing
all the time.

302
00:13:55,701 --> 00:13:58,203
That's the worst thing
a singer can do.

303
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,604
Let me hear it again.

304
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:02,941

I love that!

332
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:46,544
That was really good, you guys.

333
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:50,115
You all sounded really great,
really made it your own.

334
00:15:50,182 --> 00:15:52,016
If you're a singer, you
can sing anything.

335
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:54,352
You should be able to learn the
notes and sing it and make it

336
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:55,620
your own, and you guys did.

337
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,789
And each one of you did
that individually.

338
00:15:57,857 --> 00:15:58,590
Really good job.

339
00:15:58,657 --> 00:15:59,491
I love that.

340
00:15:59,558 --> 00:16:00,325
Thank you.

341
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:01,159
Thank you.

342
00:16:01,227 --> 00:16:02,560
Wow, that was stupendous.

343
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:05,330
That was...That was so over
the top, that was great.

344
00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:06,331
Harmonies were so beautiful.

345
00:16:06,398 --> 00:16:07,499
Really, really good.

346
00:16:07,566 --> 00:16:08,533
You really nailed them.

347
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:10,635
Oh, my God, Jake, whew!

348
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,036
It was just beautiful.

349
00:16:12,104 --> 00:16:13,271
It was so well done.

350
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:14,706
Don't hold back, Jacob, ever.

351
00:16:14,774 --> 00:16:15,807
Go for it, baby.

00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,011
Put the pedal down!

355
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:24,549
I've never sang a Beatles song ever and...
We were told to

356
00:16:24,617 --> 00:16:27,886
be extremely, extremely,
extremely, extremely cautious,

357
00:16:27,953 --> 00:16:30,121
so I tried to give it a little
bit, but I didn't want to take

358
00:16:30,189 --> 00:16:32,157
it all the way to ebenezer
baptist on y'all.

359
00:16:32,224 --> 00:16:34,092
Yo, baby, yo!

360
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,462
Hey, let me tell you, can't many
people live at ebenezer baptist,

361
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:39,130
baby, so... whatever.

362
00:16:39,198 --> 00:16:40,131
Do you.

363
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:41,065
Always do you.

364
00:16:41,133 --> 00:16:42,767
When in doubt, do you.

365
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:47,071
And Randy's advice was well-heeded as
the day's contestants continued to put

366
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:51,176

the talent that's yet to come?

403
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:53,364
When we come back, beatlesmania continues...
As your favorites take the stage.

404
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:54,265
I love that.

405
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:55,166
The gruesome twosome, man.

406
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:56,734
What an ending!

407
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:58,636
It's a fight to the finish.

408
00:18:58,704 --> 00:19:02,307
Who's gonna go on...
And who's gonna go home?

409
00:19:02,374 --> 00:19:05,276
I didn't expect to be standing
here crying in front of y'all.

410
00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:06,344
I wanted to be happy.

411
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:11,883
And later, the most emotional cut we've
ever seen, as your top 24 is revealed.

412
00:19:11,951 --> 00:19:15,153
I feel millions of Americans
crying right now.

413
00:19:23,724 --> 00:19:26,860

Yo, man, that was
crazy right there.

450
00:21:03,324 --> 00:21:05,258
All three of you can
definitely sing.

451
00:21:05,326 --> 00:21:07,694
I mean, you guys
were really strong.

452
00:21:07,762 --> 00:21:08,828
Jerome, you were okay.

453
00:21:08,896 --> 00:21:10,997
I mean, it wasn't amazing
for me today from you.

454
00:21:11,065 --> 00:21:12,198
Lakeisha, you definitely got it.

455
00:21:12,266 --> 00:21:16,903
You got them big old vocals, ala the
whole aretha kind of a thing goin' on.

456
00:21:16,971 --> 00:21:18,471
And ta-tynisa, I like it.

457
00:21:18,539 --> 00:21:21,541
I liked it more at the end, though,
than I liked the other parts.

458
00:21:21,609 --> 00:21:23,043
Jennifer, what'd you think?

459
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:26,413
I think lakeisha... I feel like
you're holding back a little bit.

460
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,715
I feel like you need to let
loose a little bit more.

461
00:21:28,783 --> 00:21:32,585
And ta-tynisa, I just feel like it
just wasn't your best thing today.

462
00:21:32,653 --> 00:21:35,322
I'm sorry, sweetie, it just...
It felt like you didn't have the

463
00:21:35,389 --> 00:21:41,695
breath and the vocal control there at
the end the way that I know you can do.

464
00:21:41,762 --> 00:21:44,531
Wow!
Is that what you got to say?

465
00:21:44,598 --> 00:21:45,332
Yeah.

466
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,567
That's a mouthful.

467
00:21:47,635 --> 00:21:49,069
I thought you nailed it.

468
00:21:49,136 --> 00:21:50,337
See, I thought she really did.

469
00:21:50,404 --> 00:21:52,038
I thought you did, yeah.

470
00:21:52,106 --> 00:21:53,173
I thought you nailed it.

471
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,940
It was good.

472
00:21:54,008 --> 00:21:54,808

473
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:55,642
Thanks, guys.

474
00:21:55,710 --> 00:21:58,278
So this trio leaves the
stage with mixed reviews.

475
00:21:58,346 --> 00:22:00,080
Steven Tyler seemed
to like it a lot.

476
00:22:00,147 --> 00:22:01,114
He saw that we were having fun.

477
00:22:01,182 --> 00:22:02,882
He saw that we had
control over everything.

478
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:04,250
He thought we nailed it.

479
00:22:04,318 --> 00:22:08,755

Nice!

546
00:24:58,092 --> 00:24:58,958
Really good song.

547
00:24:59,026 --> 00:25:00,793
Give a hand to the Beatles, man.

548
00:25:00,861 --> 00:25:02,629
Give a hand to the Beatles.

549
00:25:02,696 --> 00:25:04,531
One hand clapping.

550
00:25:05,766 --> 00:25:11,037
So as Steven gives a hand of support
for the day's auditions... one hand.

551
00:25:11,105 --> 00:25:15,175
Ashley Sullivan's hands are working
on preparations for her big day.

552
00:25:15,242 --> 00:25:17,744
I'm trying to figure out
what I want to wear tonight.

553
00:25:17,811 --> 00:25:19,045
Wedding tonight!

554
00:25:19,113 --> 00:25:24,117
I don't know if I wanna get married in...
Pleather... and like a white top.

555
00:25:24,185 --> 00:25:29,155
Since the new Jersey auditions, Ashley's
boyfriend David saryva has been by her

556
00:25:29,223 --> 00:25:30,190
side.

557
00:25:30,257 --> 00:25:32,292
Who is that dude up there, man?

558
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,159
I love you, Ashley!

559
00:25:33,227 --> 00:25:35,728
I love you so much, baby.

560
00:25:35,796 --> 00:25:38,765
And when she found out the next
stop was Vegas, Ashley saw

561
00:25:38,832 --> 00:25:42,802
the trip as an opportunity to become
more than just an American Idol.

562
00:25:42,870 --> 00:25:44,871
I'm trying to find a white
dress for my wedding, 'cause

563
00:25:44,939 --> 00:25:48,041
that's traditional, and I'm
clearly a traditional kinda lady.

564
00:25:48,108 --> 00:25:50,009
Ooh, should I do a
white jumpsuit?

565
00:25:50,077 --> 00:25:52,145
But polyester seems
too informal.

566
00:25:52,213 --> 00:25:54,180
No, that's... that's cheesy.

567
00:25:54,248 --> 00:25:56,716

love like pleather.

So we're heading

Actually, we're getting married
at the same place that Britney

580
00:26:25,613 --> 00:26:28,681
Here we go!

581
00:26:28,749 --> 00:26:30,183
Gettin' married today, right?

582
00:26:30,251 --> 00:26:31,351
Yes, we are.

583
00:26:31,418 --> 00:26:34,821
But it wasn't a true Idol wedding until...
I'm the witness.

584
00:26:34,888 --> 00:26:36,889
Thanks, Dave the camera guy.

585
00:26:36,957 --> 00:26:39,659
In the presence of...

586
00:26:48,202 --> 00:26:50,403
Ashley, would you
repeat after me?

587
00:26:50,471 --> 00:26:54,407
I, Ashley... I, Ashley...
Take you, David... take you, David...

To be my husband.

589
00:26:55,442 --> 00:26:56,509
To be my husband.

590
00:26:56,577 --> 00:26:59,646
I pronounce you
husband and wife.

591
00:26:59,713 --> 00:27:04,384

Yay!

596
00:27:13,761 --> 00:27:16,229

but I have a really big
day tomorrow, so...Bye.

601
00:27:25,472 --> 00:27:30,777
Well, congratulations to our newlyweds...
But this isn't why we came to Vegas.

602
00:27:30,844 --> 00:27:33,179
After the break...
I just got married.

603
00:27:33,247 --> 00:27:34,847
The nuptials are over.

604
00:27:34,915 --> 00:27:37,450
Now can Ashley prove
that she's a star?

605
00:27:37,518 --> 00:27:40,453
It just was not hot
today on any level.

606
00:27:40,521 --> 00:27:43,656
Stay with us as we find out who
is an Idol in the making...

607
00:27:43,724 --> 00:27:45,892
You really gave the original
a run for his money.

608
00:27:45,959 --> 00:27:47,527
And who will go home.

609
00:27:47,594 --> 00:27:49,662
They made me step forward.

610
00:27:57,509 --> 00:27:59,510
Welcome back.

611
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:02,547
It's a new day in Vegas...
And the second half of the

612
00:28:02,615 --> 00:28:06,351
contestants are about to
take the love's stage.

613
00:28:06,418 --> 00:28:09,954
Yesterday, these hopefuls watched
the first groups audition...

614
00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:11,890
But now it's their turn.

615
00:28:11,957 --> 00:28:16,160
Ready or not, for this second group
of contestants, the show must go on.

616
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:17,362
Do it!

617
00:28:17,429 --> 00:28:22,533
And as their audience of three enters the theater...
Nerves begin to show.

618
00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:25,169
But for two of our youngest
competitors, can't get much

619
00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:30,074
harder than rehearsal with the
vocal coach from hell... no!

620
00:28:30,142 --> 00:28:33,912
You're gonna die on the stage
in front of all those people.

621
00:28:33,979 --> 00:28:35,747

Very, very interesting.

638
00:29:21,327 --> 00:29:23,461
Listen, I gotta start
first, Melinda.

639
00:29:23,529 --> 00:29:26,397
It started a little shaky, but
you kinda got it together during

640
00:29:26,465 --> 00:29:27,932
the middle of the whole thing.

641
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,770
But...Thia, you found a way to
keep the phrasing and your whole

642
00:29:32,838 --> 00:29:36,507
thing intact, which was very
interesting to me, 'cause you

643
00:29:36,575 --> 00:29:37,842
got a very unique voice.

644
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:39,243
Yeah, it was cute.

645
00:29:39,311 --> 00:29:41,512
You know, the combination of the
two of you it didn't feel as

646
00:29:41,580 --> 00:29:45,516
strong as I thought it was gonna be...
Having two little powerhouses up there.

647
00:29:45,584 --> 00:29:46,851
Yeah, I agree.

648
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:50,388
Um, Melinda, you were a little
behind in your phrasing and

649
00:29:50,456 --> 00:29:53,691
thia, it was... it was
just all right for me.

650
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:55,393
Thank you, guys.

651
00:29:55,461 --> 00:29:56,928
Thank you.

652
00:29:59,665 --> 00:30:01,666
That thia is something special.

653
00:30:01,734 --> 00:30:04,068
I wish I could have done better
but, uh, you know, I hope

654
00:30:04,136 --> 00:30:07,005
they see something in
me and put me through.

655
00:30:07,072 --> 00:30:08,606
'Cause I really wanna be here.

656
00:30:08,674 --> 00:30:10,241
I really wanna be here.

657
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:11,642
Okay, well, good luck, girls.

658
00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:12,610
Thank you.

659
00:30:12,678 --> 00:30:13,578
I'll see you in a few.

660
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:14,545
Go relax. Okay, thank you.

661
00:30:14,613 --> 00:30:20,518
So unsure of their fate, the two
youngsters head back to their seats.

662
00:30:20,586 --> 00:30:23,688
As the crew resets the stage
for the next audition...

663
00:30:23,756 --> 00:30:27,925
I get a chance to chat with our
next contestants in the coke room.

664
00:30:27,993 --> 00:30:30,194
We've got Ashley
and Sophia here.

665
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:32,096
Let's start with the
big breaking news.

666
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:33,064
Congratulations.

667
00:30:33,132 --> 00:30:34,065
Thank you.

668
00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:35,166

669
00:30:35,234 --> 00:30:36,401
I did, I got married!

670
00:30:36,468 --> 00:30:38,002
Not like two seconds ago.

671
00:30:38,070 --> 00:30:39,270
Pretty much, yeah.

672
00:30:39,338 --> 00:30:41,606
I got married at the same place
that Britney Spears got married,

673
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:43,007
which is... it meshed.

674
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:44,208
Your claim to fame.

675
00:30:44,276 --> 00:30:45,143
Just made sense.

676
00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:47,745
So how has that played on
getting ready for this song?

677
00:30:47,813 --> 00:30:49,414
Have you been
mentally all there?

678
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:50,381
She's done a great job.

679
00:30:50,449 --> 00:30:52,316

Not your best
performance either.

706
00:31:52,444 --> 00:31:53,344
Okay.

707
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:54,479
Listen, you guys are here.

708
00:31:54,546 --> 00:31:55,880
You're trying to make it happen.

709
00:31:55,948 --> 00:31:57,849
It just was not hot today.

710
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,684
None of it quite worked for me.

711
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:01,819
I don't know, I didn't

712
00:32:01,887 --> 00:32:03,554
I'm sorry.

713
00:32:03,622 --> 00:32:04,655
Thank you.

714
00:32:04,723 --> 00:32:07,258
Thank you.

715
00:32:07,326 --> 00:32:11,162
So it's clear that Ashley and Sophia
failed to make a good impression.

716
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:12,430
They were tough, right?

717
00:32:12,498 --> 00:32:13,297
Mm-hmm.

718
00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:14,398
Tough.

719
00:32:14,466 --> 00:32:17,301
I heard it... heard it in there,
but certainly not together.

720
00:32:17,369 --> 00:32:18,269
No.

721
00:32:18,337 --> 00:32:19,103
Yikes.

722
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:21,305
We kind of took a different
adaptation of the song, but we

723
00:32:21,373 --> 00:32:23,474
strayed a little too
far from the beagles.

724
00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:24,575
Beatles.

725
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:27,111
Maybe we should have stayed a little...
Simpler with it?

726
00:32:27,179 --> 00:32:28,613
I'm not quite sure.

727
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,848

a tough lesson about the

728
00:32:30,916 --> 00:32:35,953

Jackson, and Scotty mccreery.

729
00:32:36,021 --> 00:32:38,689
We've had a very

They're looking at today's audition as
a chance to reintroduce themselves.

735
00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:56,107
Good luck.

736
00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:58,609

Okay...lt sounded good.

775
00:34:19,391 --> 00:34:21,492
The song is a difficult song,
I think especially for three

776
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,729
people to kind of trade
off and all the parts.

777
00:34:24,796 --> 00:34:27,164
You sounded good when you
did some of the harmonies.

778
00:34:27,232 --> 00:34:30,434
Denise, you weren't as
strong as you always are.

Scotty, I love your voice.

It was nice to hear
you go the octave up.

I wanted to show a little different...
Yeah. I prefer you where you live.

You're an amazing singer, and
again, I just don't feel like

785

anything for any of you.

That's exactly it.

into consideration.

Thank you.

905
00:39:07,069 --> 00:39:08,035
Jordan, you were good.

906
00:39:08,103 --> 00:39:10,738
You weren't the greatest
you've been, but it was good.

907
00:39:10,806 --> 00:39:13,007
And the harmony started off a
little rough, but you guys kinda

908
00:39:13,075 --> 00:39:15,443
pulled it in and
kinda worked it out.

909
00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:16,510
I was really impressed.

910
00:39:16,578 --> 00:39:18,879
Very nice, very nice.

911
00:39:18,947 --> 00:39:21,816
Aaron, you always surprise
me when you come out.

912
00:39:21,883 --> 00:39:23,084
I forget how good you are.

913
00:39:23,151 --> 00:39:25,286
I don't know what
it is that you do.

914
00:39:25,353 --> 00:39:28,756
Jordan, we have high
expectations of you.

915
00:39:28,824 --> 00:39:29,623
Yeah!

916
00:39:29,691 --> 00:39:31,392
Because we see you up here.

917
00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:33,227

918
00:39:33,295 --> 00:39:34,395
Robbie, forget about it.

919
00:39:34,463 --> 00:39:36,397
You nailed it again.

920
00:39:36,465 --> 00:39:38,199
Fantastic, all three of you.

Congrats, congrats.

929
00:39:49,511 --> 00:39:55,082
Now the performances are over,
and the stage is cleared.

930
00:39:55,150 --> 00:39:56,750
Brutal cuts must be made.

931
00:40:06,561 --> 00:40:08,496
Results...Right now.

932
00:40:08,563 --> 00:40:11,132
Hello, hello, hello.

933
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:14,835
So listen, you guys should give
yourselves a big round of applause.

934
00:40:14,903 --> 00:40:19,039
You did very well.

935
00:40:19,107 --> 00:40:21,642
But as you know, in this
point in the competition, we

936
00:40:21,710 --> 00:40:24,078
definitely need to
make some cuts.

937
00:40:24,146 --> 00:40:29,517
So when we call your
name, step forward.

938
00:40:29,584 --> 00:40:33,787
Thia, step forward.

939
00:40:33,855 --> 00:40:37,925

Robbie, step forward.

943
00:40:49,504 --> 00:40:55,676
And Lauren, step forward.

944
00:40:55,744 --> 00:40:59,947
We've got so much amazing talent
this year, this is really,

945
00:41:00,015 --> 00:41:01,048
really tough for us.

946
00:41:01,116 --> 00:41:05,920
It's the hardest thing to do, and
it's getting harder every time.

947
00:41:05,987 --> 00:41:08,522
So you front seven...

948
00:41:12,994 --> 00:41:14,895
Congratulations, you're through!

949
00:41:14,963 --> 00:41:17,898
You made it!

step closer to their Idol dreams...

to continue to do it, but

stage to sing for their lives.

996
00:43:31,950 --> 00:43:36,920
Then they must take that long
walk and face that famous chair.

997
00:43:36,988 --> 00:43:39,623
Who has made it
into your top 24?

998
00:43:39,691 --> 00:43:40,824
You've made it through.

this was nothing but a dream.

1001
00:43:52,370 --> 00:43:54,638
I don't want to do this anymore.

1002
00:44:01,578 --> 00:44:05,113
The competition has been fierce.

1003
00:44:05,181 --> 00:44:08,183
They have exceeded
all expectations.

1004
00:44:08,251 --> 00:44:13,555
And now as a group, the contestants
head towards their fate.

1005
00:44:13,623 --> 00:44:18,227
They have survived the most
exhaustive rounds of elimination...

1006
00:44:18,294 --> 00:44:20,862
Battled through group night.

1007
00:44:20,930 --> 00:44:24,833
They have wowed the judges
with their musical prowess.

1008
00:44:24,901 --> 00:44:26,868
I want to see that again!

1009
00:44:26,936 --> 00:44:29,371
And dazzled onstage
with Beatles songs.

1010
00:44:29,439 --> 00:44:31,640
Very, very nice!

1011
00:44:31,708 --> 00:44:36,211
Now comes the final round...
In this spectacular hangar.

1012
00:44:39,315 --> 00:44:45,153
These Vegas survivors will get one more
chance to perform for the judges... ow!

1013
00:44:45,221 --> 00:44:47,389
Before they pick the most talented 12
guys and 12 girls to make your top 24.

1014
00:44:47,457 --> 00:44:50,826
I like that, man!

1015
00:44:50,893 --> 00:44:52,828
But who will take those slots?

1016
00:44:52,895 --> 00:44:57,499
And it honestly breaks my heart...
Who's going to sing for your vote?

1017
00:44:57,567 --> 00:44:58,233
To say this.

1018
00:44:58,301 --> 00:45:02,437
Who will be the next...
But you did not make it into the top 24.

1019
00:45:02,505 --> 00:45:03,572
American Idol?

1020
00:45:07,744 --> 00:45:10,379
Okay. I don't want
to do this anymore.

1021
00:45:42,512 --> 00:45:45,547
The first steps were all smiles.

1022
00:45:45,615 --> 00:45:49,151
The next leg led them
to our Hollywood stage.

1023
00:45:49,218 --> 00:45:54,523
Now their journey brings them to this path...
The longest walk of all.

1024
00:45:54,590 --> 00:46:01,229
Either the dream will end or...
It's the start of something remarkable.

1025
00:46:01,297 --> 00:46:03,965
Now, because the contestants
were so stunning this year, the

1026
00:46:04,033 --> 00:46:07,102
cuts have been very difficult
for our judges to make.

1027
00:46:07,170 --> 00:46:12,341
But they will be even more difficult
for our contestants to handle.

1028
00:46:12,408 --> 00:46:17,179
The final judgment
starts right now.

1029
00:46:17,246 --> 00:46:22,551

tense holding room, first up to

00:46:28,057 --> 00:46:30,892

of two, she was working as a

local fairgrounds.

1033
00:46:33,730 --> 00:46:36,098
I'm like cleaning this
huge amphitheater.

1035
00:46:39,802 --> 00:46:42,938
And I'm looking at the stage and
I'm like, "that should be me."

1036
00:46:43,005 --> 00:46:46,575
But instead I'm behind stage
cleaning the toilets.

00:46:46,642 --> 00:46:51,213

00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,628
You just get prettier and
prettier every time we see you.

1068
00:48:13,696 --> 00:48:17,432
Well, I figured, you know...
Why are you crying?

1069
00:48:17,500 --> 00:48:18,567
Why are you crying?

1070
00:48:18,634 --> 00:48:21,703
I'm...Having a hard time today.

1071
00:48:21,771 --> 00:48:24,639
Why are you having
a hard time, baby?

1072
00:48:24,707 --> 00:48:29,611
You know, you question yourself
and everything that you've done.

1073
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:33,949
And I'm a mama, so... I think that's
why we fell in love with you, naima.

1074
00:48:34,016 --> 00:48:37,452
Because your emotions are in
your songs when you sang.

1075
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,554
But it's been hard.

1076
00:48:39,622 --> 00:48:45,627
It's been hard for us to pick from 40
people the very best of all the rest.

1077
00:48:45,695 --> 00:48:48,163
We can't say that you've been
the most consistent through

1078
00:48:48,231 --> 00:48:50,232
this whole thing, and that's
been hard for us, because we've

1079
00:48:50,299 --> 00:48:52,467
all been rootin' for
you the whole time.

1080
00:48:52,535 --> 00:48:55,437
And your story was so
beautiful, you know.

1081
00:48:55,505 --> 00:48:58,006
You got two little babies and
all the while cleaning toilets

1082
00:48:58,074 --> 00:49:04,746
and just, you know, doing every
little thing you could...To be it.

1083
00:49:04,814 --> 00:49:11,086
So I'm sorry I have to say that, um...
That you're gonna have a long,

1084
00:49:11,153 --> 00:49:12,687
long haul in this business.

1085
00:49:12,755 --> 00:49:14,289
You've made it through.

1086
00:49:14,357 --> 00:49:15,690
No more crying for you today!

1087
00:49:15,758 --> 00:49:16,758
Congratulations!

1088
00:49:16,826 --> 00:49:18,593
Go!

1089
00:49:18,661 --> 00:49:23,131
Or maybe there will be...
Tears of joy, tears of joy!

1090
00:49:23,199 --> 00:49:24,766
Oh, baby.

1091
00:49:24,834 --> 00:49:27,369
Don't let us down and be real
consistent, okay, sweetie?

1092
00:49:27,436 --> 00:49:28,637
Stay strong, stay strong.

1093
00:49:28,704 --> 00:49:29,738
Stay strong.

1094
00:49:29,805 --> 00:49:31,706
Thank you so much.

1095
00:49:31,774 --> 00:49:36,278
I didn't get to tell you...
'Cause I didn't get to tell you before...

1096
00:49:36,345 --> 00:49:40,148
That when I was younger...

1097
00:49:40,216 --> 00:49:44,085
I used to watch in living color and
wanted to be a fly-girl so bad!

1098
00:49:44,153 --> 00:49:45,620
You took it way back!

1099
00:49:45,688 --> 00:49:48,957
I used to... be that fly-girl.

1100
00:49:49,025 --> 00:49:49,991
Look at you.

1101
00:49:50,059 --> 00:49:51,326
Look at you, naima.

1102
00:49:51,394 --> 00:49:52,327
You're a flower.

1103
00:49:52,395 --> 00:49:53,962
Now bloom.

1104
00:49:54,030 --> 00:49:54,963
Good luck.

1105
00:49:55,031 --> 00:49:58,733
Thank you.

1106
00:50:02,772 --> 00:50:04,706
Ah, I'm happy for her.

1107
00:50:04,774 --> 00:50:06,107
I'm happy for her too.

1108
00:50:06,175 --> 00:50:06,975
Happy for her.

1109
00:50:07,043 --> 00:50:07,909
She deserves a shot.

1110
00:50:07,977 --> 00:50:11,046
If you're talking about people who deserve
a shot, who have the full package...

1111
00:50:11,113 --> 00:50:13,315
She deserves a shot.

1112
00:50:13,382 --> 00:50:14,983
And she's different and unique.

1113
00:50:15,051 --> 00:50:18,186
And you know, now
it's up to America.

1114
00:50:18,254 --> 00:50:19,387
I'm through, baby.

1115
00:50:19,455 --> 00:50:23,191
I got my shot.

1116
00:50:23,259 --> 00:50:26,962
So naima is the first girl
through to the top 24.

1117
00:50:27,029 --> 00:50:29,397
And the judges are happy
with their choice.

1118
00:50:29,465 --> 00:50:31,666
Jennifer, you gotta
put the pound in.

1119
00:50:31,734 --> 00:50:32,867
Steven, put the pound in.

1120
00:50:32,935 --> 00:50:34,169
Yes!

1121
00:50:34,236 --> 00:50:36,705
But not everybody can make it.

1122
00:50:36,772 --> 00:50:40,675
Coming up...The hard part as
the judges break the news.

1123
00:50:40,743 --> 00:50:42,143
There's only 24 spots.

1124
00:50:42,211 --> 00:50:45,547
Will your favorites survive
the toughest cut of all?

1125
00:50:45,615 --> 00:50:49,384
Plus... a dramatic breakdown that
nobody could have predicted.

1126
00:50:49,452 --> 00:50:51,252
I don't want to do this anymore.

1127
00:50:58,935 --> 00:51:01,837
Welcome back to the
final judgment.

1128
00:51:01,905 --> 00:51:06,175
This room holds the fate of 39
anxious singers hoping to join

1129
00:51:06,243 --> 00:51:10,679
naima adedapo in the top 24.

1130
00:51:10,747 --> 00:51:14,250
This has been an emotional journey
for everyone to this point.

1131
00:51:14,317 --> 00:51:16,886
This is really...lntense, man.

1132
00:51:16,953 --> 00:51:18,287
It's intense, man.

1133
00:51:18,355 --> 00:51:22,458
But perhaps no one more so than
17-year-old hollie Cavanaugh.

1134
00:51:22,525 --> 00:51:24,526
It's a very emotional
room in here, isn't it?

1135
00:51:24,594 --> 00:51:25,394
It is.

1136
00:51:25,462 --> 00:51:26,629
I never expected it.

1137
00:51:26,696 --> 00:51:28,964
Like when you watch the show,
you don't really think... but you

1138
00:51:29,032 --> 00:51:31,533
really do get so close to
everybody and then...lt gets

1139
00:51:31,601 --> 00:51:33,636
really emotional just to
see... yeah, it's not tv.

1140
00:51:33,703 --> 00:51:34,570
It's reality tv.

1141
00:51:34,638 --> 00:51:36,405
No. It's like real. Yeah.

1142
00:51:36,473 --> 00:51:42,411
And now the reality sets in as hollie
takes her first steps towards judgment.

1143
00:51:42,479 --> 00:51:46,015
Back in Austin, hollie's journey
got off to a very rocky start.

1144
00:51:46,082 --> 00:51:48,317
Yeah, you're not quite
ready yet, love.

1145
00:51:48,385 --> 00:51:49,551
I say no.

1146
00:51:49,619 --> 00:51:50,753
Think you can do me a favor?

1147
00:51:50,820 --> 00:51:52,788
You think you can collect
yourself to sing one more song?

1148
00:51:52,856 --> 00:51:55,791
One more chance?

1149
00:51:55,859 --> 00:51:57,226

1150
00:51:57,294 --> 00:51:58,928

00:52:09,372 --> 00:52:10,572
That was really great.

1159
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:15,311
Jennifer's support for hollie helped
propel her through Hollywood and Vegas.

1160
00:52:15,378 --> 00:52:17,947
Jennifer saw something in me
that she knew I could do better,

1161
00:52:18,014 --> 00:52:23,786
and I think she saw that I really
wanted it and would really work for it.

1162
00:52:23,853 --> 00:52:27,156
So as hollie continues the long
walk towards her fate, she

1163
00:52:27,223 --> 00:52:30,726
can only hope that her final
audition has left no doubt in

1164
00:52:30,794 --> 00:52:34,463
the judges' minds
of her true talent.

1170
00:52:52,315 --> 00:52:56,318
Like I really, really want this, so
it gets your nerves going a lot.

1171
00:52:56,386 --> 00:53:00,289
If feels like it's been forever,
so I'm just ready to know what's

1172
00:53:00,357 --> 00:53:05,694
gonna go on and hopefully
progress in the competition.

1173
00:53:05,762 --> 00:53:06,428
Hello.

1174
00:53:06,496 --> 00:53:07,162
Hi.

1175
00:53:07,230 --> 00:53:08,097
Hey, hollie.

1176
00:53:08,164 --> 00:53:08,931
Hi. How are you?

1177
00:53:08,999 --> 00:53:09,598
How are you?

1178
00:53:09,666 --> 00:53:10,432
Good. How are you?

1179
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:11,467
Good. Pretty nervous.

1180
00:53:11,534 --> 00:53:12,768
How's it going for you?

1181
00:53:12,836 --> 00:53:17,740
You know, a lot of emotions, but...
I'm glad I'm here, so.

1182
00:53:17,807 --> 00:53:19,808
Yeah.

1183
00:53:19,876 --> 00:53:23,812
You know, hollie, when we first
heard you sing back in Austin,

1184
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,715
you know, I thought your melody
was all over the place and...

1185
00:53:26,783 --> 00:53:29,885
I mean, to think that you wouldn't
even have been here... I know.

1186
00:53:29,953 --> 00:53:33,689
If we just went with that first
song and look how far you've come.

1187
00:53:33,757 --> 00:53:34,656
And I'm so thankful.

1188
00:53:34,724 --> 00:53:35,924
Thank you.

1189
00:53:35,992 --> 00:53:37,426
Well, because you did that.

1190
00:53:37,494 --> 00:53:38,360
You did that.

1191
00:53:38,428 --> 00:53:41,530
You were a standout
in Hollywood week.

1192
00:53:41,598 --> 00:53:43,465
Amazing really.

1193
00:53:43,533 --> 00:53:47,269
And you started showing people,
you know, that you belonged.

1194
00:53:47,337 --> 00:53:48,337
You belonged here.

1195
00:53:48,405 --> 00:53:50,205
I'm just so thankful
that I made it this far.

1196
00:53:50,273 --> 00:53:54,243
Like, it's seriously been a
crazy experience for me and I

1197
00:53:54,310 --> 00:53:56,211
feel like I've grown so much
throughout the whole thing,

1198
00:53:56,279 --> 00:53:58,547
so I'm just thankful, so.

1199
00:53:58,615 --> 00:54:00,582
Oh, that's sweet, hollie.

1200
00:54:00,650 --> 00:54:04,753
Unfortunately, I'm sorry, but we're not
gonna put you through on this time.

1201
00:54:04,821 --> 00:54:05,921
Okay.

1202
00:54:05,989 --> 00:54:06,688
Okay.

1203
00:54:06,756 --> 00:54:07,356
Wait. Don't.

1204
00:54:07,424 --> 00:54:12,628
I don't want you to go yet, because...
I was out-voted here.

1205
00:54:12,695 --> 00:54:15,531
I wanted to put you through,
because I honestly believe you

1206
00:54:15,598 --> 00:54:21,203
have one of the best voices
and you belong in the top 24.

1207
00:54:21,271 --> 00:54:26,175
But when we look at everybody
else, I feel like Randy said

1208
00:54:26,242 --> 00:54:28,177
something that really hit home.

1209
00:54:28,244 --> 00:54:30,379
You're 17 years old.

1210
00:54:30,447 --> 00:54:34,516
In a year or two, I feel like, honestly,
hollie, you could come back and win.

1211
00:54:34,584 --> 00:54:36,118
Win the whole thing.

1212
00:54:36,186 --> 00:54:37,853
That's how good you are.

1213
00:54:37,921 --> 00:54:40,022
That's how talented you are.

1214
00:54:40,090 --> 00:54:44,393
But right now, it's just I think
you need to just grow a little

1215
00:54:44,461 --> 00:54:46,895
bit, figure out who
you are as an artist.

1216
00:54:46,963 --> 00:54:48,964
And in that sense, I
think they're right.

1217
00:54:49,032 --> 00:54:49,698
Okay.

1218
00:54:49,766 --> 00:54:54,203
But, again, I just want you to know that
I would have loved to have put you in.

1219
00:54:54,270 --> 00:54:55,871
Okay, thank you.

1220
00:54:55,939 --> 00:54:56,605
Thank you.

1221
00:54:56,673 --> 00:54:57,306
Thank you so much.

1222
00:54:57,373 --> 00:54:58,207
Thank you.

1223
00:54:58,274 --> 00:55:00,242
Thank you so much.

1224
00:55:00,310 --> 00:55:00,909
Thank you so much.

1225
00:55:00,977 --> 00:55:01,577
Thank you.

1226
00:55:01,644 --> 00:55:05,781
Thank you.

1227
00:55:05,849 --> 00:55:07,549
But make sure you
come back, okay?

1228
00:55:07,617 --> 00:55:08,984
I will. I will. Thank you.

1229
00:55:09,052 --> 00:55:10,319
You're awesome, hollie.

1230
00:55:10,386 --> 00:55:12,488
Thank you.

1231
00:55:17,227 --> 00:55:21,630
I don't know if I can
do this anymore.

1232
00:55:21,698 --> 00:55:24,333
This is really...

1233
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,702
I would have switched
her out for somebody.

1234
00:55:26,769 --> 00:55:27,970
I'm just gonna keep singing.

1235
00:55:28,037 --> 00:55:31,273
I mean, it's what I love to do
and it's what I'm gonna do,

1236
00:55:31,341 --> 00:55:34,510
so I'm gonna take it all
as positive feedback.

1237
00:55:34,577 --> 00:55:38,013
So hollie becomes the first
elimination of the day,

1238
00:55:38,081 --> 00:55:42,718
but with only 23 spots still
remaining, she would not be alone...

1239
00:55:42,785 --> 00:55:47,055
Unfortunately...
You didn't make the top 24.

1240
00:55:47,123 --> 00:55:50,659
As we also said good-bye to l.
A. Native lakeisha Lewis...

1241
00:55:50,727 --> 00:55:52,995
You're one of our favorites,
so we hate to see you go.

1242
00:55:53,062 --> 00:55:54,296
Thank you guys so much.

1243
00:55:54,364 --> 00:55:57,733
And the road also ends for
Alex Ryan from new Jersey.

1244
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:58,634
You didn't make it.

1245
00:55:58,701 --> 00:55:59,735
Thank you very much.

1246
00:55:59,802 --> 00:56:00,469
Thank you, Alex.

1247
00:56:00,537 --> 00:56:01,136
Thank you so much, Alex.

1248
00:56:01,204 --> 00:56:02,037
I can't thank you enough.

1249
00:56:02,105 --> 00:56:03,272
It's a no.

1250
00:56:03,339 --> 00:56:05,274
Wow.

1251
00:56:05,341 --> 00:56:08,944
It's okay.

1252
00:56:09,012 --> 00:56:09,878
Didn't make it?

1253
00:56:09,946 --> 00:56:10,712
No, I did not.

1254
00:56:10,780 --> 00:56:14,650
The toughest part of the whole
experience is definitely knowing

1255
00:56:14,717 --> 00:56:17,886
that I'm gonna have to watch the
show and see all these people

1256
00:56:17,954 --> 00:56:20,689
that I've made friends with
move on in the competition.

1257
00:56:20,757 --> 00:56:22,424
You haven't seen the last of me.

1258
00:56:22,492 --> 00:56:23,659
I hope not. I hope not.

1259
00:56:24,594 --> 00:56:25,260
Come on, family.

1260
00:56:25,328 --> 00:56:28,163
Let's get in here.

1261
00:56:28,231 --> 00:56:32,467
I mean, it hurts because it's
your dream, but I'ma get there

1262
00:56:32,535 --> 00:56:35,037
one way or another, so.

1263
00:56:35,104 --> 00:56:36,572
Lakeisha's so great.

1264
00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:39,441
Like... and she really
deserved to be here.

1265
00:56:39,509 --> 00:56:40,442
Like, it hurt.

1266
00:56:40,510 --> 00:56:42,744
I go back with her, like,
so many years ago.

1267
00:56:42,812 --> 00:56:44,279
Like, she's like family.

1268
00:56:44,347 --> 00:56:47,149
You know, it's like... hoping
for better results as

1269
00:56:47,217 --> 00:56:51,386
he starts his walk is

The way you sang that
song was brilliant.

1274
00:56:58,461 --> 00:57:00,262
One of the best I've
seen in San Francisco.

1275
00:57:00,330 --> 00:57:01,363
Definitely yes from me.

1276
00:57:01,431 --> 00:57:03,332
Whoo! Yeah! Whoo!

1277
00:57:03,399 --> 00:57:07,135
But when he got to Hollywood,
this R&B singer didn't always

1278
00:57:07,203 --> 00:57:09,104
stand out for the right reasons.

1279
00:57:09,172 --> 00:57:11,907
We just had to kick one
of our group members out.

1280
00:57:11,975 --> 00:57:16,011
It had nothing to do with jacee's
talent, because jacee is very talented.

1281
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:18,847
It just had to do with how
we wanted the group to go.

1282
00:57:18,915 --> 00:57:21,783
Clint was hoping his final solo
during Hollywood week would

1283
00:57:21,851 --> 00:57:23,785

To make this next step, it would
change so much in my life.

1294
00:58:02,191 --> 00:58:04,226
I mean, I kind of have a good
feeling that something great is

1295
00:58:04,294 --> 00:58:08,897
gonna happen, so we'll
leave it up to the judges.

1296
00:58:08,965 --> 00:58:09,898
Hi. I'm sorry.

1297
00:58:09,966 --> 00:58:10,766
What's up, Clint?

1298
00:58:10,833 --> 00:58:11,500
Don't mind me.

1299
00:58:11,567 --> 00:58:12,401
What's the matter?

1300
00:58:12,468 --> 00:58:15,304
I'm just... I was doing great
today, but, like, I'm just

1301
00:58:15,371 --> 00:58:17,973
standing over there and, like,
everything just hit me right now.

1302
00:58:18,041 --> 00:58:20,475
It's just, like, I haven't
cried, like, this whole season

1303
00:58:20,543 --> 00:58:23,145
and then when I saw lakeisha
get sent home, I broke.

1304
00:58:23,212 --> 00:58:26,114
This is the first time I ever
broke 'cause I seen her get sent

1305
00:58:26,182 --> 00:58:30,252
home and I was heartbroken and it was,
like, this whole day is just crazy.

1306
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,354
Like, I don't even
know what to say.

1307
00:58:32,422 --> 00:58:33,722
I just want to shout,
like, "ahh!"

1308
00:58:33,790 --> 00:58:34,823
Like, I don't know.

1309
00:58:34,891 --> 00:58:35,557
Well, listen.

1310
00:58:35,625 --> 00:58:36,925
You've had an
interesting journey.

1311
00:58:36,993 --> 00:58:40,629
I remember that there was some
discrepancy with you kicking,

1312
00:58:40,697 --> 00:58:44,232
like, jacee out of a group or
you guys not on in a group.

1313
00:58:44,300 --> 00:58:45,367
What happened with all of that?

1314
00:58:45,435 --> 00:58:48,337
You know... with the camaraderie
and that team spirit?

1315
00:58:48,404 --> 00:58:54,910
Um, for all of us it obviously was
overwhelming and it wasn't anything personal

1316
00:58:54,977 --> 00:58:59,181
towards jacee, because we all
believe that jacee... he's great.

1317
00:58:59,248 --> 00:59:00,182
Just didn't work out?

1318
00:59:00,249 --> 00:59:02,818
Yeah, it just didn't work out,
but I feel like he shined

1319
00:59:02,885 --> 00:59:06,221
more in the other group that he
was in, and I hope that no one,

1320
00:59:06,289 --> 00:59:09,291
like, viewed that the wrong way,
because it wasn't anything negative.

1321
00:59:09,359 --> 00:59:10,892
It was just... well, listen.

1322
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:11,827
We took everything.

1323
00:59:11,894 --> 00:59:14,629
We looked at the whole journey
of yours and took everything

1324
00:59:14,697 --> 00:59:17,265
into account... all the
performances, everything that

1325
00:59:17,333 --> 00:59:19,167
you did, everything that was
great, everything that was not

1326
00:59:19,235 --> 00:59:25,507
as good... and, you know, we've
come to our final decision.

1327
00:59:32,849 --> 00:59:34,649
You're gonna have to see
us a lot more, dude.

1328
00:59:34,717 --> 00:59:35,417
You made it.

1329
00:59:35,485 --> 00:59:37,352
You guys do that to
me all the time!

1330
00:59:37,420 --> 00:59:38,954
You made it. You made it.

1331
00:59:39,021 --> 00:59:40,589
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

1332
00:59:40,656 --> 00:59:41,456
You made it.

1333
00:59:41,524 --> 00:59:42,491
And I knew he knew it.

1334
00:59:42,558 --> 00:59:44,826
I was watching him go,
"they're [Bleep] With me."

1335
00:59:44,894 --> 00:59:45,827
Did you know?

1336
00:59:45,895 --> 00:59:47,129
You didn't know. No.

1337
00:59:47,196 --> 00:59:49,731
We weren't trying... oh, my God!

1338
00:59:49,799 --> 00:59:51,199
Thank... oh, my God.

1339
00:59:51,267 --> 00:59:52,501
I... oh, my God.

1340
00:59:52,568 --> 00:59:53,368
Congratulations.

1341
00:59:53,436 --> 00:59:55,203
Congratulations.

1342
00:59:55,271 --> 00:59:57,706
And you saved your life this
time from singing so good.

1343
00:59:57,774 --> 00:59:58,740
Thank you so much.

1344
00:59:58,808 --> 00:59:59,608
You're a talented guy.

1345
00:59:59,675 --> 01:00:00,575
Whoo! Whoo!

1346
01:00:00,643 --> 01:00:02,544
Come on.

1347
01:00:02,612 --> 01:00:05,046
I'm still in, like, total awe.

1348
01:00:05,114 --> 01:00:06,882
Just like, "ahh!"

1349
01:00:06,949 --> 01:00:07,916
Ooh, okay, I got it.

1350
01:00:07,984 --> 01:00:08,950
I'm good.

1351
01:00:09,018 --> 01:00:09,951
I'm good.

1352
01:00:10,019 --> 01:00:14,322
I'm ready for America to see the
kind of artist I really want to be.

1353
01:00:14,390 --> 01:00:15,557
Yeah!

1354
01:00:20,196 --> 01:00:23,765
Whoo!

1355
01:00:23,833 --> 01:00:26,902
As Clint gets hold of his emotions...

1356
01:00:26,969 --> 01:00:31,873
He can now rest easy as he becomes
the first guy to reach the top 24.

1357
01:00:35,044 --> 01:00:36,111
So you made it?

1358
01:00:36,179 --> 01:00:36,878
Yeah.

1359
01:00:42,051 --> 01:00:48,290
Coming up, the long walk continues...
As tough decisions have to be made.

1360
01:00:48,357 --> 01:00:49,357
Today, it's a no.

1361
01:00:49,425 --> 01:00:50,659
I'm sorry.

1362
01:00:50,726 --> 01:00:52,961
Which country voice
makes the top 24?

1363
01:00:53,029 --> 01:00:54,529
It's the end of the
journey for you.

1364
01:00:54,597 --> 01:00:57,833
And one decision is just too
much for Jennifer to handle.

1365
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:01,102
Find out who stays on to sing for your vote...
You're a yes.

1366
01:01:01,170 --> 01:01:02,103
After the break.

1367
01:01:02,171 --> 01:01:02,938
Ah!

1368
01:01:03,005 --> 01:01:04,706
Congratulations.

1369
01:01:04,774 --> 01:01:06,641
Oh, my gosh!

1370
01:01:13,167 --> 01:01:16,269
Welcome back to the
final eliminations.

1371
01:01:16,337 --> 01:01:21,241
It's mid-morning and the anxiety is
intensifying, but for returning contestant

1372
01:01:21,308 --> 01:01:27,447
hayley reinhart, the
wait is about to end.

1373
01:01:27,514 --> 01:01:30,116
I'm just hoping for the best,
you know, but que sera.

1374
01:01:30,184 --> 01:01:35,121
Like, whatever will be will be,
so just got to go with the flow.

1375
01:01:35,122 --> 01:01:39,158
Last year, when I tried out in
Chicago, I was really devastated

1376
01:01:39,226 --> 01:01:40,393
that I didn't make it.

1377
01:01:40,394 --> 01:01:43,329
I just had a lot of hopes
for what was to come.

1378
01:01:43,397 --> 01:01:46,466
But I feel like, you know, everything
happens for a reason, you know?

1379
01:01:46,533 --> 01:01:47,734
Welcome to hollyweird, baby.

1380
01:01:47,801 --> 01:01:49,035
Congratulations, baby.

1381
01:01:49,103 --> 01:01:52,939
But once in Hollywood, Haley
stumbled badly on the group song...

1382
01:01:53,007 --> 01:01:55,241
You made it through by
the skin of your teeth.

1383
01:01:55,309 --> 01:01:58,444

1395
01:02:30,044 --> 01:02:31,778
But I really don't
want it to end here.

1396
01:02:31,845 --> 01:02:33,479
I'll tell you that much.

1397
01:02:33,547 --> 01:02:35,114
Definitely don't want it to.

01:02:54,234 --> 01:02:55,601
Goose pimples.

1406
01:02:55,669 --> 01:02:57,837
Thank you.

1407
01:02:57,905 --> 01:02:59,339
Hi, guys.

1408
01:02:59,406 --> 01:03:00,807
What's going on, hayley?

1409
01:03:00,874 --> 01:03:01,741
How are you?

1410
01:03:01,809 --> 01:03:02,709
Good.

1411
01:03:02,776 --> 01:03:03,810
Hi, hayley.

1412
01:03:03,877 --> 01:03:04,777
Hi.

1413
01:03:04,845 --> 01:03:07,647
So how do you feel about
making it this far?

1414
01:03:07,715 --> 01:03:09,082
This is amazing.

1415
01:03:09,149 --> 01:03:11,484
I couldn't have planned
anything different, you know?

1416
01:03:11,552 --> 01:03:14,687
It's just... it's been
extraordinary so far.

1417
01:03:14,755 --> 01:03:16,823
You tried out once before, yeah?

1418
01:03:16,890 --> 01:03:17,724
Right.

1419
01:03:17,791 --> 01:03:18,891
And how did that go?

1420
01:03:18,959 --> 01:03:22,862
It wasn't the answer I wanted,
but, uh, didn't keep me

1421
01:03:22,930 --> 01:03:25,698
from, you know, keeping on.

1422
01:03:25,766 --> 01:03:28,701
Do you think that you've
grown more since then as you

1423
01:03:28,769 --> 01:03:31,371
went away and reflected on
what you did last time?

1424
01:03:31,438 --> 01:03:33,740
I've definitely had a
lot more experience.

1425
01:03:33,807 --> 01:03:37,610
Only in a year, but it's still
a ton, just throughout school,

1426
01:03:37,678 --> 01:03:40,913
throughout just being in a own
little group jamming out.

1427
01:03:40,981 --> 01:03:44,450
So it's... it's really been helping
me a lot in defining who

1428
01:03:44,518 --> 01:03:49,655
I am, like, as a
singer stylistically.

1429
01:03:49,723 --> 01:03:55,294
Well, we've been watching you and, you know...
I'm really afraid to say that,

1430
01:03:55,362 --> 01:03:59,732
um... that you're a yes.

1431
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,067
Yeah?

1432
01:04:01,135 --> 01:04:02,468
Yes, ma'am.

1433
01:04:02,536 --> 01:04:03,669
You've made it, hayley.

1434
01:04:03,737 --> 01:04:04,504
You made it.

1435
01:04:04,571 --> 01:04:05,304
Oh, thank you so much.

1436
01:04:05,372 --> 01:04:07,273
Congratulations.

1437
01:04:07,341 --> 01:04:08,307
Congratulations.

1438
01:04:08,375 --> 01:04:09,242
Thank you.

1439
01:04:09,309 --> 01:04:09,976
Congratulations.

1440
01:04:10,043 --> 01:04:10,643
Congratulations.

1441
01:04:10,711 --> 01:04:11,511
Thank you.

1442
01:04:11,578 --> 01:04:12,578
Thank you so much.

1443
01:04:12,646 --> 01:04:13,713
You guys are wonderful.

1444
01:04:13,781 --> 01:04:15,548
Oh, thank you.

1445
01:04:15,616 --> 01:04:17,750
All right, I'll see
you guys... good luck.

1446
01:04:17,818 --> 01:04:19,051
Thank you so much.

1447
01:04:19,119 --> 01:04:19,919
Oh.

1448
01:04:19,987 --> 01:04:21,587
She's a happy girl.

1449
01:04:21,655 --> 01:04:23,022
Today, she is.

1450
01:04:23,791 --> 01:04:26,592
So hayley's comeback is
complete as she becomes the

1451
01:04:26,660 --> 01:04:30,630
second girl to enter our top 24.

1452
01:04:30,697 --> 01:04:34,000
But for 16-year-old Deandre
brackensick, his last

1453
01:04:34,067 --> 01:04:37,003
opportunity for redemption
may have come too late.

1454
01:04:37,070 --> 01:04:39,572
Deandre stood out as a member
of the minors, the crew of

1455
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,375
youngsters that brought down
the house on group night.

Thank you so much.

1463
01:05:01,929 --> 01:05:06,466
But he had gained little attention for
his solo performances, so it was all on

1464
01:05:06,533 --> 01:05:09,836

What's up, y'all?

1475
01:05:32,860 --> 01:05:33,593
How are you?

1476
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:36,062
I'm good. Very nervous.

1477
01:05:36,129 --> 01:05:39,065
It's kind of a crazy, nerve-racking
day we got going on today.

1478
01:05:39,132 --> 01:05:39,866
Yeah.

1479
01:05:39,933 --> 01:05:43,035
You know, it's been hardest
trying to get to this top 24

1480
01:05:43,103 --> 01:05:44,670
that we got, you know, going on.

1481
01:05:44,738 --> 01:05:47,373
And I know you've made a
tough journey getting here.

1482
01:05:47,441 --> 01:05:51,177
You made it into the top 40, which you
should definitely really be proud of.

1483
01:05:51,245 --> 01:05:52,011
I am.

1484
01:05:52,079 --> 01:05:52,912
I'm very proud.

1485
01:05:52,980 --> 01:05:54,380
How do you think you did, dog?

1486
01:05:54,448 --> 01:05:57,083
There are times that I didn't
show my best and, um, I think

1487
01:05:57,150 --> 01:05:59,185
I have so much more I can do.

1488
01:05:59,253 --> 01:06:02,455
Well, you know, part of this thing
is that it's about being consistent.

1489
01:06:02,523 --> 01:06:05,391
It about being great every
time you get up there.

1490
01:06:05,459 --> 01:06:08,561
And, you know, we just felt
that for you, that didn't quite

1491
01:06:08,629 --> 01:06:11,230
happen during this
whole journey.

1492
01:06:11,298 --> 01:06:14,800
You came close, but I
don't think close enough.

1493
01:06:14,868 --> 01:06:16,736
So today it's a no.

1494
01:06:16,803 --> 01:06:17,870
It's the end of your journey.

1495
01:06:17,938 --> 01:06:18,971
Thank you.

1496
01:06:19,039 --> 01:06:22,108
But I stress and urge that you
should definitely continue.

1497
01:06:22,175 --> 01:06:23,242
You're 16, man.

1498
01:06:23,310 --> 01:06:24,744
You should work hard, come back.

1499
01:06:24,811 --> 01:06:27,547
Because honestly, of all the
people that we have to let go

1500
01:06:27,614 --> 01:06:31,584
today, I really feel that you
have a great, great chance at

1501
01:06:31,652 --> 01:06:33,519
being a recording
artist right now.

1502
01:06:33,587 --> 01:06:36,956
I hate to see you go, but I just
wanted to let you know that.

1503
01:06:37,024 --> 01:06:37,890
Thank you so much.

1504
01:06:37,958 --> 01:06:41,594
That that's something that I see
and I don't want you to stop

1505
01:06:41,662 --> 01:06:43,029
or get discouraged at this.

1506
01:06:43,096 --> 01:06:46,432
I want this to do what so many
auditions where people told me

1507
01:06:46,500 --> 01:06:50,703
"no" did for me, which was it
just motivated me to just go

1508
01:06:50,771 --> 01:06:55,041
harder, go stronger, and really,
really just do all I could to

1509
01:06:55,108 --> 01:06:58,044
fulfill my dream and I
want the same for you.

1510
01:06:58,111 --> 01:06:59,045
Thank you so much.

1511
01:06:59,112 --> 01:07:00,646
You have a magic little voice.

1512
01:07:00,714 --> 01:07:01,480
Thank you. Thank you so much.

1513
01:07:01,548 --> 01:07:02,281
Nice to meet you, man.

1514
01:07:02,349 --> 01:07:03,215
Thank you.

1515
01:07:03,283 --> 01:07:04,183

Wow.

1518
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:07,954
Hate letting him go.

1519
01:07:08,021 --> 01:07:10,456
I know. I know. I know.

01:07:10,524 --> 01:07:12,391

Welcome back.

1550
01:08:21,052 --> 01:08:24,454
It's 3:00 P.M.
and so far, two ladies and one guy have

1551

secured spots on
our studio stage.

1552
01:08:27,391 --> 01:08:31,161
Hoping to follow in their
footsteps is Paul McDonald.

1553
01:08:31,228 --> 01:08:33,897
This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity and this would

1554
01:08:33,964 --> 01:08:37,901
just be one step closer to
achieving that main goal.

1555
01:08:37,968 --> 01:08:41,404
We first met this laid-back

01:09:34,024 --> 01:09:34,858
That's a lawsuit.

1580
01:09:34,925 --> 01:09:35,658
Yeah.

1581
01:09:35,726 --> 01:09:36,526
I know, man.

1582
01:09:36,594 --> 01:09:37,527
That's beautiful.

1583
01:09:37,595 --> 01:09:38,228
I love it.

1584
01:09:38,295 --> 01:09:39,329
That's beautiful.

1585
01:09:39,396 --> 01:09:41,097

Thank you, Paul.

01:10:13,097 --> 01:10:15,198
Thank you, Paul.

1603
01:10:15,266 --> 01:10:17,000
Ooh.

1604
01:10:17,067 --> 01:10:17,667
Hi, Paul.

1605
01:10:17,735 --> 01:10:18,568
What's going on, guys?

1606
01:10:18,636 --> 01:10:19,302
Hello, Paul.

1607
01:10:19,370 --> 01:10:19,969
What's going on, man?

1608
01:10:20,037 --> 01:10:20,637
Y'all all right?

1609
01:10:20,704 --> 01:10:21,304
Yes.

1610
01:10:21,372 --> 01:10:21,971
How are you, sir?

1611
01:10:22,039 --> 01:10:22,739
I'm doing very well.

1612
01:10:22,807 --> 01:10:23,406
Hi, sweetie.

1613
01:10:23,474 --> 01:10:24,073
Good to see you.

1614
01:10:24,141 --> 01:10:24,741
Hey.

1615
01:10:24,809 --> 01:10:25,942
Nice to meet you, man.

1616
01:10:26,010 --> 01:10:26,676
Have a seat.

1617
01:10:26,744 --> 01:10:28,311
How'd the last couple
of weeks treat you?

1618
01:10:28,379 --> 01:10:29,312
Uh, it's been good, man.

1619
01:10:29,380 --> 01:10:30,013
Yeah?

1620
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,015
Yeah, been relaxing,
hanging out, you know?

1621
01:10:32,082 --> 01:10:33,349
Sign any autographs yet?

1622
01:10:33,417 --> 01:10:34,384
Oh, man.

1623
01:10:34,451 --> 01:10:35,084
I don't know.

1624
01:10:35,152 --> 01:10:35,952
Not too many.

1625
01:10:37,555 --> 01:10:38,755
Oh, my goodness, Paul.

1626
01:10:38,823 --> 01:10:42,458
You know, I remember your first
audition so clearly because I

1627
01:10:42,526 --> 01:10:48,398
think everybody was kind of like...
"What do we do with this person?"

1628
01:10:48,465 --> 01:10:49,399
Right. Right.

1629
01:10:49,466 --> 01:10:54,170
Like, there's something so unique
about you, so special about you.

1630
01:10:54,238 --> 01:10:57,273
But at the same time, does it
fit in with everything we're

1631
01:10:57,341 --> 01:11:01,010
doing and what this
competition is, you know?

1632
01:11:01,078 --> 01:11:02,445
Just to touch on that a bit.

1633
01:11:02,513 --> 01:11:05,114
I mean, you know, I've been
here... this is my tenth season.

1634
01:11:05,182 --> 01:11:09,686
People would say, "is this
guy American Idol material?"

1635
01:11:09,753 --> 01:11:10,520
Well, guess what.

1636
01:11:10,588 --> 01:11:16,426
American Idol material is anybody great,
unique, with unbelievable talent.

1637
01:11:16,493 --> 01:11:18,661
And we've said that over
and over on this season.

1638
01:11:18,729 --> 01:11:20,263
We're looking for an artist.

1639
01:11:20,331 --> 01:11:24,367
And Steven and I were saying we liked
the quirkiness about this guy.

1640
01:11:24,435 --> 01:11:25,235
We liked... right, Steven?

1641
01:11:25,302 --> 01:11:26,402
We were like, "he's different.

1642
01:11:26,470 --> 01:11:27,670
He's interesting."

1643
01:11:27,738 --> 01:11:28,705
He's like... you know what I mean?

1644
01:11:28,772 --> 01:11:30,940
That may be just the thing
to make him a star.

1645
01:11:31,008 --> 01:11:32,041
Yeah.

1646
01:11:32,109 --> 01:11:34,110
So we're gonna bank on
that and put you through.

1647
01:11:34,178 --> 01:11:35,511
You're in the top 24.

1648
01:11:35,579 --> 01:11:36,412
Yes.

1649
01:11:36,480 --> 01:11:38,047
You made it, man.

1650
01:11:38,115 --> 01:11:38,715
Yo.

1651
01:11:38,782 --> 01:11:39,883
You're that special.

1652
01:11:39,950 --> 01:11:40,783
Come on, Paul.

1653
01:11:40,851 --> 01:11:41,618
Thank you guys, man.

1654
01:11:41,685 --> 01:11:42,385
Paul is in.

1655
01:11:42,453 --> 01:11:44,520
Just keep doing
exactly what you do.

1656
01:11:44,588 --> 01:11:45,822
I will try my hardest.

1657
01:11:45,890 --> 01:11:46,556
I'll try.

1658
01:11:46,624 --> 01:11:47,891
Yeah, the heat's on now, man.

1659
01:11:47,958 --> 01:11:48,825
I know, dude.

1660
01:11:48,893 --> 01:11:50,994
I got to do what I got to do.

1661
01:11:51,061 --> 01:11:52,095
Thanks, guys.

1662
01:11:52,162 --> 01:11:52,862
Good luck.

1663
01:11:52,930 --> 01:11:53,529
Congratulations.

1664
01:11:53,597 --> 01:11:55,665
Thank you.

1665
01:11:55,733 --> 01:11:58,167
Made it.

1666
01:11:58,235 --> 01:11:59,702
I'm feeling good.

1667
01:11:59,770 --> 01:12:03,206
Now I just got a whole lot of
work to do the next few weeks.

1668
01:12:03,274 --> 01:12:05,909
I got to learn some songs.

1669
01:12:08,512 --> 01:12:13,383
So the rhinestone cowboy will be
performing next week for America's vote.

1670
01:12:13,450 --> 01:12:14,751
Congratulations, man.

1671
01:12:14,818 --> 01:12:15,919
Great to have you on board.

1672
01:12:15,986 --> 01:12:17,520
Top 24 right there.

1673
01:12:17,588 --> 01:12:19,522
There you go.

1674
01:12:19,590 --> 01:12:24,327
While he celebrates, fellow Nashville
contestant ashthon Jones now faces the

1675
01:12:24,395 --> 01:12:25,461
judges.

1676
01:12:25,529 --> 01:12:28,298
But will it be for
the last time?

1677
01:12:28,365 --> 01:12:31,734
Ashthon was a standout on group
day, but it was her solo

1678
01:12:31,802 --> 01:12:33,803
performance that set her apart.

01:12:52,022 --> 01:12:56,659

01:13:17,982 --> 01:13:18,748
Hey.

1695
01:13:18,816 --> 01:13:20,183
Hello, ashthon.

1696
01:13:20,250 --> 01:13:22,719
Ashthon, are you crying already?

1697
01:13:22,786 --> 01:13:23,453
No, I'm not.

1698
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,288
I'm almost there, but I'm not.

1699
01:13:25,356 --> 01:13:26,956
I was fine until now.

1700
01:13:27,024 --> 01:13:29,058
You should be so excited you
got... you made it this far.

1701
01:13:29,126 --> 01:13:29,859
I am.

1702
01:13:29,927 --> 01:13:31,594
I'm excited to see
you guys again.

1703
01:13:31,662 --> 01:13:32,528
I kind of missed y'all.

1704
01:13:32,596 --> 01:13:33,363
We missed you too.

1705
01:13:33,430 --> 01:13:34,197
Oh, we missed you too.

1706
01:13:34,264 --> 01:13:35,098
Thank you for that.

1707
01:13:35,165 --> 01:13:35,932
We missed you too.

1708
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:36,666
Wow.

1709
01:13:36,734 --> 01:13:39,268
So, ashthon... okay.

1710
01:13:39,336 --> 01:13:40,203
I'm sorry.

1711
01:13:40,270 --> 01:13:41,804
That's okay.

1712
01:13:41,872 --> 01:13:42,972
Give yourself a moment.

1713
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:43,906
I'm sorry.

1714
01:13:43,974 --> 01:13:45,775
You know it's been
a long journey.

1715
01:13:45,843 --> 01:13:48,311
You must have felt walking
up there, like, "wow.

1716
01:13:48,379 --> 01:13:49,645
It could go either way for me,"

1717
01:13:49,713 --> 01:13:51,014
and you're right.

1718
01:13:51,081 --> 01:13:53,316
But I got to say, ashthon, you
know, I had my eye on you

1719
01:13:53,384 --> 01:13:54,917
from the very beginning.

1720
01:13:54,985 --> 01:13:59,455
You have probably been one of the most
consistent contestants we've had.

1721
01:13:59,523 --> 01:14:00,189
Yeah.

1722
01:14:00,257 --> 01:14:02,458
I can honestly say
that about you.

1723
01:14:02,526 --> 01:14:03,192
Thank you.

1724
01:14:03,260 --> 01:14:04,060
You know?

1725
01:14:04,128 --> 01:14:06,596
I remember, you know, you
getting up there in group week.

1726
01:14:06,663 --> 01:14:09,665
I felt like you pulled that whole
group together, your group, you know?

1727
01:14:09,733 --> 01:14:10,600
Thank you.

1728
01:14:10,667 --> 01:14:12,368
But, you know, there were
those moments throughout the

1729
01:14:12,436 --> 01:14:16,672
competition where you had moments
where we were like, "ugh."

1730
01:14:16,740 --> 01:14:18,341
We're like, "can she stand this?

1731
01:14:18,409 --> 01:14:19,976
Will she be able to put up
with all this pressure?"

1732
01:14:20,044 --> 01:14:20,643
You know?

1733
01:14:20,711 --> 01:14:21,878
You know?

1734
01:14:21,945 --> 01:14:26,749
And, uh, from the beginning,
we've been saying that we want

1735
01:14:26,817 --> 01:14:28,184
to find the whole package.

1736
01:14:28,252 --> 01:14:29,218
Yeah.

1737
01:14:29,286 --> 01:14:30,086
The whole package.

1738
01:14:30,154 --> 01:14:31,454
Somebody who can sing.

1739
01:14:31,522 --> 01:14:32,922
Somebody who can dance.

1740
01:14:32,990 --> 01:14:33,890
Somebody who has presence.

1741
01:14:33,957 --> 01:14:36,659
Somebody who has confidence.

1742
01:14:36,727 --> 01:14:37,794
Man.

1743
01:14:37,861 --> 01:14:40,930
And I have to say that we
feel we found that in you.

1744
01:14:40,998 --> 01:14:41,964
You made it into the top 24.

1745
01:14:42,032 --> 01:14:43,299
Oh, my God. Don't say that.

1746
01:14:43,367 --> 01:14:44,000
Congratulations.

1747
01:14:44,068 --> 01:14:46,002
Congratulations, ashthon.

1748
01:14:46,070 --> 01:14:47,437
Congrats. Congrats.

1749
01:14:47,504 --> 01:14:49,338
Ashthon, we're
happy to have you.

1750
01:14:49,406 --> 01:14:50,373
Oh, my God. I'm so happy.

1751
01:14:50,441 --> 01:14:53,376
I can't wait for America to see
you perform, really perform.

1752
01:14:53,444 --> 01:14:54,177
Oh, my God.

1753
01:14:54,244 --> 01:14:55,945
So those are happy tears, right?

1754
01:14:56,013 --> 01:14:57,380
Congratulations, love.

1755
01:14:57,448 --> 01:14:58,047
Congratulations.

1756
01:14:58,115 --> 01:15:01,918
I like that. I can't do that.

1757
01:15:01,985 --> 01:15:07,356
They said that... that... that
my last couple of auditions

1758
01:15:07,424 --> 01:15:10,793
weren't that good, so...
I'm in the top 24.

1759
01:15:15,866 --> 01:15:18,968
I don't know where she's gonna go in this
business, but she deserves a chance.

1760
01:15:19,036 --> 01:15:20,236
She deserves somewhere to go.

1761
01:15:20,304 --> 01:15:21,170
Right?

1762
01:15:21,238 --> 01:15:22,672
She can make a name for herself.

1763
01:15:22,739 --> 01:15:24,740
Ooh, she made me emotional.

1764
01:15:35,385 --> 01:15:40,256
When we return... another Idol hopeful
sweats it out in the hot seat.

1765
01:15:40,324 --> 01:15:43,526
You know, you had some good moments
and you had some bad moments.

1766
01:15:43,594 --> 01:15:47,029
But his fate isn't the
only one on the line.

1767
01:15:47,097 --> 01:15:51,868
With many destinies yet to be determined,
will an unprecedented meltdown be the

1768
01:15:51,935 --> 01:15:56,005
end of the road for...
I don't want to do this anymore.

1769
01:16:03,851 --> 01:16:06,553
Welcome back to the
final judgment.

1770
01:16:06,621 --> 01:16:11,191
Building a top 24 has been a
bittersweet process for our judges.

1771
01:16:11,259 --> 01:16:12,459
You didn't make the top 24.

1772
01:16:12,527 --> 01:16:13,493
Okay.

1773
01:16:13,561 --> 01:16:14,995
You've made it through.

1774
01:16:15,063 --> 01:16:16,263
No more crying for you today.

1775
01:16:16,331 --> 01:16:17,598
Congratulations!

1776
01:16:17,665 --> 01:16:18,565
Today it's a no.

1777
01:16:18,633 --> 01:16:20,000
It's the end of your journey.

1778
01:16:20,068 --> 01:16:23,837
Unfortunately, I'm sorry, but we're not
gonna put you through on this time.

1779
01:16:23,905 --> 01:16:26,239
Okay, thank you.

1780
01:16:26,307 --> 01:16:29,142
An uneasy hush has fallen
on the holding room as the

1781
01:16:29,210 --> 01:16:33,847
contestants reflect on their
performances and calculate their odds.

1782
01:16:33,915 --> 01:16:40,220
Up next was Milwaukee's
Chris medina.

1783
01:16:40,288 --> 01:16:41,688
I'm feeling scared.

1784
01:16:41,756 --> 01:16:45,859
No matter what happens, I did more
than I thought I was capable of doing.

1785
01:16:45,927 --> 01:16:50,197
If I stay...
You ain't seen nothing yet.

1786
01:16:50,264 --> 01:16:53,533
Chris and juliana's story
touched the hearts of America.

1787
01:16:53,601 --> 01:16:58,438
That's... that's why he sings so
good, 'cause he sings to you.

1788
01:16:58,506 --> 01:17:03,744
When he sang for his life, he chose a
song that embodied the promise he made.

Hi.

1806
01:18:08,976 --> 01:18:10,043
Hey.

1807
01:18:10,111 --> 01:18:10,711
Hey, guys. How are you?

1808
01:18:10,778 --> 01:18:12,345
Hey, man.

1809
01:18:12,413 --> 01:18:13,246
Who got a haircut?

1810
01:18:13,314 --> 01:18:14,281
He just pulled it back.

1811
01:18:14,348 --> 01:18:15,482
He pulled it back.

1812
01:18:15,550 --> 01:18:16,149
He cleaned up.

1813
01:18:16,217 --> 01:18:16,983
I like that he cleaned up.

1814
01:18:17,051 --> 01:18:17,884
He scruffed it up.

1815
01:18:17,952 --> 01:18:18,618
Just a little bit.

1816
01:18:18,686 --> 01:18:19,886
Nice to see you, Chris.

1817
01:18:19,954 --> 01:18:20,854
How are you?

1818
01:18:20,922 --> 01:18:22,222
How are you?

1819
01:18:22,290 --> 01:18:23,156
Feeling blessed.

1820
01:18:23,224 --> 01:18:23,824
Yeah?

1821
01:18:23,891 --> 01:18:24,491
Yeah.

1822
01:18:24,559 --> 01:18:27,394
Things changed a little bit for
you since we last saw you, I bet.

1823
01:18:27,462 --> 01:18:30,464
Juliana's more
popular than I am.

1824
01:18:30,531 --> 01:18:33,433
I'm just really happy
that you guys met her.

1825
01:18:33,501 --> 01:18:38,338
I mean, if you ask her now, "what
was the best time of your life?"

1826
01:18:38,406 --> 01:18:41,842
She will tell you, "when Steven
Tyler kissed me on the cheek,

1827
01:18:41,909 --> 01:18:45,746
when I got to shake j-lo's hand and
when I got to meet Randy Jackson."

1828
01:18:45,813 --> 01:18:47,848
Well, it was a special
moment for all of us.

1829
01:18:47,915 --> 01:18:52,786
Well, it was just honestly a pleasure to
meet you and to meet someone like you.

1830
01:18:52,854 --> 01:18:58,358
For me, that was a blessing and a moment
in my life that I'll always remember.

1831
01:18:58,426 --> 01:19:02,562
Somebody who has the conviction
that you do, the love in your

1832
01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:07,634
heart that you do, who stands up
as a man in the way that you do,

1833
01:19:07,702 --> 01:19:13,140
that's why everybody was
touched by your story.

1834
01:19:13,207 --> 01:19:15,809
You know, we've watched you
through this competition.

1835
01:19:15,877 --> 01:19:18,011
You started out pretty strong.

1836
01:19:18,079 --> 01:19:21,648
'Cause at the end of the day,
this is about singing and it's

1837
01:19:21,716 --> 01:19:30,257
about the voice, and
it's about your talent.

1838
01:19:30,324 --> 01:19:36,563
I don't want to draw this out, because...
As much as we love you, you know

1839
01:19:36,631 --> 01:19:40,700
you had some good moments and you had
some bad moments in the competition.

1840
01:19:40,768 --> 01:19:41,501
Right.

1841
01:19:41,569 --> 01:19:46,273
And you know that we
only have 24 slots.

1842
01:19:46,340 --> 01:19:49,242
And it honestly breaks my heart
to say this, but you did not

1843
01:19:49,310 --> 01:19:54,281
make it into the top 24.

1844
01:19:54,348 --> 01:19:57,284
We wish you the best
with everything.

1845
01:19:57,351 --> 01:20:02,255
We wish Julie with the
best with everything.

1846
01:20:02,323 --> 01:20:03,723
And we'll miss you.

1847
01:20:03,791 --> 01:20:05,225
All right.

1848
01:20:05,293 --> 01:20:06,660
It was so nice meeting you guys.

1849
01:20:06,727 --> 01:20:07,994
It really was, you know?

1850
01:20:08,062 --> 01:20:10,430
And it was awesome being
in this competition.

1851
01:20:10,498 --> 01:20:13,500
I really wasn't gonna even take the
path of being a musician anymore.

1852
01:20:13,568 --> 01:20:15,302
Oh, Chris, don't stop.

1853
01:20:15,369 --> 01:20:16,436
I won't.

1854
01:20:16,504 --> 01:20:17,337
Don't stop, man.

1855
01:20:17,405 --> 01:20:18,004
I won't.

1856
01:20:18,072 --> 01:20:18,672
Don't stop.

1857
01:20:18,739 --> 01:20:20,240
I think I started to
find my voice here.

1858
01:20:20,308 --> 01:20:21,174
So close, Chris.

1859
01:20:21,242 --> 01:20:22,242
All right.

1860
01:20:22,310 --> 01:20:23,410
Can I shake your guys' hands?

1861
01:20:23,477 --> 01:20:24,077
Of course!

1862
01:20:24,145 --> 01:20:24,744
Are you kidding?

1863
01:20:24,812 --> 01:20:25,412
Appreciate you, dude.

1864
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:26,112
Give us a hug.

1865
01:20:26,180 --> 01:20:26,780
Give us a hug.

1866
01:20:26,848 --> 01:20:27,747
Are you kidding? Come on, man.

1867
01:20:27,815 --> 01:20:28,715
I appreciate you guys.

1868
01:20:28,783 --> 01:20:29,583
Tell Julie what's up, man.

1869
01:20:29,650 --> 01:20:30,417
I will. I will.

1870
01:20:30,484 --> 01:20:31,451
Good-bye, sweetie.

1871
01:20:31,519 --> 01:20:32,285
Thank you so much.

1872
01:20:32,353 --> 01:20:33,253
Thank you.

1873
01:20:33,321 --> 01:20:34,487
Thank you so much.

1874
01:20:34,555 --> 01:20:35,722
So much respect for you.

1875
01:20:35,790 --> 01:20:36,389
Thank you.

1876
01:20:36,457 --> 01:20:42,095
Yeah, dude, big heart you got.

1877
01:20:42,163 --> 01:20:43,496
Give juliana a kiss for me.

1878
01:20:43,564 --> 01:20:45,031
I will. Thank you.

1879
01:20:45,099 --> 01:20:45,699
Thank you.

1880
01:20:45,766 --> 01:20:46,666
Thank you.

1881
01:20:46,734 --> 01:20:47,367
Thank you.

1882
01:20:47,435 --> 01:20:48,301
Thank you. Take it easy.

1883
01:20:48,369 --> 01:20:53,306
All right.

1884
01:21:05,820 --> 01:21:07,587
I just didn't want
to tell him no.

1885
01:21:07,655 --> 01:21:13,460
I didn't want it... really hard for
me to tell him no right there.

1886
01:21:18,833 --> 01:21:20,200
No.

1887
01:21:20,268 --> 01:21:21,635
No?

1888
01:21:21,702 --> 01:21:24,037
Aw, man.

1889
01:21:24,105 --> 01:21:25,372
Hey, man, it was a great run.

1890
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:28,675
Aw, come here.

1891
01:21:28,743 --> 01:21:30,510
You did it... listen.

1892
01:21:30,578 --> 01:21:33,346
You did the best way possible.

1893
01:21:33,414 --> 01:21:35,949
And I think we were really real
and we were really honest with

1894
01:21:36,017 --> 01:21:39,586
him, and I think it hurts us
all, you know what I mean?

1895
01:21:39,654 --> 01:21:43,690
Like you said... like I said, I just
don't feel like I told him in the right

1896
01:21:43,758 --> 01:21:44,491
way.

1897
01:21:44,558 --> 01:21:45,425
Oh, you did. Oh, no.

1898
01:21:45,493 --> 01:21:46,960
You so did. You so, so did.

1899
01:21:47,028 --> 01:21:48,228
I didn't want to tell him no.

1900
01:21:48,296 --> 01:21:49,195
No, you so did.

1901
01:21:49,263 --> 01:21:51,564
You so did. You really did.

1902
01:21:51,632 --> 01:21:53,633
You said the just-right,
perfect words.

1903
01:21:53,701 --> 01:21:54,434
You're a good man.

1904
01:21:54,502 --> 01:21:55,302
All right, thank you, man.

1905
01:21:55,369 --> 01:21:56,069
Appreciate it.

1906
01:21:56,137 --> 01:21:56,736
Appreciate it.

1907
01:21:56,804 --> 01:21:58,171
It's a pleasure
meeting you, man.

1908
01:21:58,239 --> 01:21:59,606
It was a pleasure meeting you.

1909
01:21:59,674 --> 01:22:00,473
Thanks.

1910
01:22:00,541 --> 01:22:05,412
Thank you.

1911
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,914
I'm gonna kill you.

1912
01:22:07,982 --> 01:22:11,184
Now I'm gonna go home and
keep writing music, you know,

1913
01:22:11,252 --> 01:22:15,555
take care of my fiance and
make a miracle happen.

1914
01:22:15,623 --> 01:22:18,091
So honest and truthful.

1915
01:22:20,061 --> 01:22:21,962
And from your heart.

1916
01:22:22,029 --> 01:22:25,065
It was beautiful.

1917
01:22:25,132 --> 01:22:29,336
But you were great in that... it
didn't feel... I felt so bad.

1918
01:22:29,403 --> 01:22:35,075
No, no, no, no.

1919
01:22:35,142 --> 01:22:42,649
See you later, guys.

1920
01:22:42,717 --> 01:22:47,620
Okay, I don't want
to do this anymore.

1921
01:22:53,561 --> 01:22:57,097
Tomorrow night, will Jennifer
find the strength to continue?

1922
01:22:57,164 --> 01:22:58,832
No, I can't. I can't.

1923
01:22:58,899 --> 01:22:59,899
I can't.

1924
01:22:59,967 --> 01:23:03,370
Or will Steven and Randy have to
handle the eliminations alone?

1925
01:23:03,437 --> 01:23:07,574
Can we take a five?

1926
01:23:07,641 --> 01:23:12,445
Find out moves on...

1927
01:23:12,513 --> 01:23:14,347
Or heads home... what?

1928
01:23:15,616 --> 01:23:18,418
In our most dramatic
final judgment ever.

1929
01:23:18,486 --> 01:23:24,124
Oh, my God! Oh!

1930
01:23:24,191 --> 01:23:27,193
