1
00:00:01,766 --> 00:00:06,770
Last night, the top 40 gathered with
only hope and prayer by their sides...

2
00:00:06,838 --> 00:00:11,909
As they waited to walk down the
shadowy path towards final judgment.

3
00:00:11,976 --> 00:00:13,343
You're in the top 24, dog!

4
00:00:13,411 --> 00:00:15,079
Yes.

5
00:00:15,146 --> 00:00:17,247
Five Idol wishes came true.

6
00:00:19,417 --> 00:00:22,352
While five other dreams
ended in despair.

7
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:24,722
And it honestly breaks my heart
to say this, but you did

8
00:00:24,789 --> 00:00:26,623
not make it into the top 24.

9
00:00:26,691 --> 00:00:30,160
And breaking the bad news
broke Jennifer's heart.

10
00:00:30,228 --> 00:00:31,729
Oh, I felt so bad.

11
00:00:31,796 --> 00:00:32,396
Ohh.

12
00:00:32,464 --> 00:00:35,933
With so many fates left hanging
in the balance, and only

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,207
a few spots left to fill, will
Jennifer find the strength to go on?

14
00:00:43,274 --> 00:00:46,043
I don't wanna do this anymore.

15
00:00:47,112 --> 00:00:55,052
Sync by Behzadt
www.addic7ed.com

16
00:01:19,177 --> 00:01:24,782
Welcome back to final judgment, where
production has come to a halt.

17
00:01:24,849 --> 00:01:28,852
The challenge of picking the
final 24 has led Jennifer Lopez

18
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,788
to an emotional crossroads.

19
00:01:30,855 --> 00:01:32,523
No, I can't, I can't.

20
00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:35,826
Chris medina's story touched her
heart, and while she felt he

21
00:01:35,894 --> 00:01:39,396
deserved better...
I just don't want to tell him no.

22
00:01:39,464 --> 00:01:42,733
His singing was inconsistent.

23
00:01:42,801 --> 00:01:46,036
Jennifer could only deliver
disappointing news, and she's

24
00:01:46,104 --> 00:01:48,438
not sure she can do that again.

25
00:01:48,506 --> 00:01:50,874
I don't want to do this anymore.

26
00:01:50,942 --> 00:01:54,611
After a few helpful moments of
support from Steven and Randy...

27
00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:58,782
He really took it really, really
well, and I think he understood it.

28
00:01:58,850 --> 00:02:01,852
We were all so moved
by that story.

29
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,224
Yeah, let's... can we take a five?

30
00:02:07,292 --> 00:02:09,293
She takes a short break.

31
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,398
But Jennifer knows the show must
go on, and she composes herself.

32
00:02:14,465 --> 00:02:16,333
Let's go!

33
00:02:16,401 --> 00:02:19,670
As one of her biggest fans
gets ready to take the walk.

34
00:02:19,737 --> 00:02:22,406
Okay, up next, miss
Rodriguez, Karen.

35
00:02:26,244 --> 00:02:27,377
You got this!

36
00:02:27,445 --> 00:02:30,280
All right, darling, so it
is the... the big moment.

37
00:02:30,348 --> 00:02:31,515
Yeah, I'm very excited.

38
00:02:31,583 --> 00:02:32,850
I'm happy.

39
00:02:32,917 --> 00:02:34,051
You have the best energy.

40
00:02:34,118 --> 00:02:35,052
I love your energy.

41
00:02:35,119 --> 00:02:36,620
All right, come on, let's go.

42
00:02:39,090 --> 00:02:40,190
Go, Karen!

43
00:02:40,258 --> 00:02:42,092
Good luck.

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,530
When Karen met Jennifer in Los Angeles,
they made a special connection.

45
00:02:46,598 --> 00:02:48,665
You don't know how much you
inspire me; It's crazy.

46
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:49,700
Thank you.

47
00:02:49,767 --> 00:02:52,369
And it became stronger
throughout Hollywood week.

48
00:02:52,437 --> 00:02:54,938
Life is all about taking
chances, and I took mine today

49
00:02:55,006 --> 00:02:57,975
singing if you have my
love by Jennifer Lopez.

54
00:03:10,688 --> 00:03:14,057
Each contestant was given one
last chance to perform for the

55
00:03:14,125 --> 00:03:19,329
judges, and Karen chose a Selena song
that was close to Jennifer's heart.

56
00:03:45,490 --> 00:03:50,193
Right now, I'm feeling really
anxious, and I'm so close.

57
00:03:50,261 --> 00:03:51,528
I think I did good.

58
00:03:51,596 --> 00:03:53,864
I feel it, and
there's no regrets.

59
00:03:53,932 --> 00:03:55,599
I'm just very, very happy.

60
00:03:55,667 --> 00:03:56,600
Hi.

61
00:03:56,668 --> 00:03:57,601
Hi.

62
00:03:57,669 --> 00:03:59,136
Hello.

63
00:03:59,203 --> 00:04:01,471
It's nice to see you
guys again; How are you?

64
00:04:01,539 --> 00:04:02,439
Hi, Karen.

65
00:04:02,507 --> 00:04:03,740
Hi.

66
00:04:03,808 --> 00:04:04,741
How are you?

67
00:04:04,809 --> 00:04:05,909
I'm good; I'm happy.

68
00:04:05,977 --> 00:04:06,843
Yeah?

69
00:04:06,911 --> 00:04:07,577
I'm happy, yes.

70
00:04:07,645 --> 00:04:08,445
I'm excited.

71
00:04:08,513 --> 00:04:11,014
You know, it's funny, from the
very first time we saw you,

72
00:04:11,082 --> 00:04:13,717
I've been a fan of yours
from the very beginning.

73
00:04:13,785 --> 00:04:18,322
Um...During this whole process, you
know, different things happen.

74
00:04:18,389 --> 00:04:20,991
And I think in the middle of the
competition, a little bit, you

75
00:04:21,059 --> 00:04:23,894
disappeared for some
of the judges here.

76
00:04:23,962 --> 00:04:26,430
And, uh, and that
was... that was hard.

77
00:04:26,497 --> 00:04:31,201
Then you kind of picked back up again and
showed people what you were made of.

78
00:04:31,269 --> 00:04:36,239
Um, but it was a
tough one for us.

79
00:04:36,307 --> 00:04:39,609
But I have to say you had
me at if you had my love.

80
00:04:40,812 --> 00:04:42,346
You're in our top 24!

81
00:04:42,413 --> 00:04:44,281
Aah!

82
00:04:44,349 --> 00:04:45,482
Congratulations!

83
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:49,386
Thank you so much!

84
00:04:49,454 --> 00:04:50,387
Thank you, guys.

85
00:04:50,455 --> 00:04:51,388
Congratulations.

86
00:04:51,456 --> 00:04:53,623
And I promise I will
work ten times harder.

87
00:04:53,691 --> 00:04:55,192
I... I swear.

88
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:57,928
I will... I will... you
guys just wait.

89
00:04:57,996 --> 00:04:59,062
That song is always a winner.

90
00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:00,697
I'll... of course it is!

91
00:05:00,765 --> 00:05:02,599
It's Jennifer. Thank you!

92
00:05:02,667 --> 00:05:03,500
Yeah, it's a number one song.

93
00:05:03,568 --> 00:05:04,201
It's a winner.

94
00:05:04,268 --> 00:05:05,202
She ain't no dummy.

95
00:05:07,038 --> 00:05:08,672
Whoo!

96
00:05:08,740 --> 00:05:11,975
So Karen has joined
our top 12 girls.

97
00:05:12,043 --> 00:05:13,010
Whoo!

98
00:05:18,983 --> 00:05:21,551
Oh, my God, I feel so good.

99
00:05:21,619 --> 00:05:23,787
That just motivates me to
work ten times harder.

100
00:05:23,855 --> 00:05:26,323
I can't wait till
the next round.

101
00:05:26,391 --> 00:05:28,759
And while this New York native
prepares herself for the

102
00:05:28,826 --> 00:05:34,865
big stage, another new yorker is taking
the long walk to learn his fate.

103
00:05:34,932 --> 00:05:39,336
17-year-old Robbie rosen fought
through a childhood disability.

104
00:05:39,404 --> 00:05:41,972
Entering kindergarten, I was
in a wheelchair for a severe

105
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,573
case of hip synovitis.

106
00:05:43,641 --> 00:05:46,143
And I remember it hurting a lot,
and my dad had to carry me.

107
00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:47,077
I couldn't really walk.

108
00:05:47,145 --> 00:05:49,880

And from then on, this
17-year-old seemed unstoppable.

114
00:06:03,394 --> 00:06:04,428
Robbie, forget about it.

115
00:06:04,495 --> 00:06:05,762
You nailed it again.

116
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:08,665
But this season, the
competition is fierce, so when

117
00:06:08,733 --> 00:06:11,802
he had the chance to sing for
his life, Robbie knew his

118
00:06:11,869 --> 00:06:13,870

00:07:22,473 --> 00:07:26,243
I don't think I've ever seen a group
as talented as this one right now.

137
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:29,980
If it's the end of the line for
me, whatever happens, you know,

138
00:07:30,047 --> 00:07:31,915
I think it's meant to be.

139
00:07:31,983 --> 00:07:32,883
Hi, Robbie.

140
00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:33,884
Hi, Robbie.

141
00:07:33,951 --> 00:07:34,885
How are you, man?

142
00:07:34,952 --> 00:07:35,986
I'm doing well.

143
00:07:36,053 --> 00:07:37,053
How are you guys?

144
00:07:37,121 --> 00:07:40,357
Tough day... tough day for you
guys, tough day for us.

145
00:07:40,424 --> 00:07:41,358
Definitely.

146
00:07:41,425 --> 00:07:44,594
Robbie, man... you're so good.

147
00:07:44,662 --> 00:07:45,495
Thank you.

148
00:07:45,563 --> 00:07:47,097
Right out of the box.

149
00:07:47,165 --> 00:07:49,900
You sang your [Bleep] Off.

150
00:07:49,967 --> 00:07:52,869
You just really proved to
us that you were, you know.

151
00:07:52,937 --> 00:07:53,937
He sang his what?

152
00:07:54,005 --> 00:07:55,372
His tushela off?

153
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:56,373
Yeah, that's better.

154
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,441
Okay, yeah, let's
try that again.

155
00:07:58,509 --> 00:08:06,383
But this is one of the hardest competitions...
And, um...You know, I was just...

156
00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:10,954
Positively sure that you made
it through to the top 24.

157
00:08:11,022 --> 00:08:11,922
Oh.

158
00:08:11,989 --> 00:08:14,357
Congratulations, Robbie!

159
00:08:14,425 --> 00:08:16,493
Ohh...Thank you guys.

160
00:08:16,561 --> 00:08:18,728
Honestly, you're one of
the best singers we have.

161
00:08:18,796 --> 00:08:20,764
Continue being that consistent
one that you've been.

162
00:08:20,831 --> 00:08:21,531
All right, take care.

163
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:22,532
Thank you so much, guys.

164
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,634
Oh, ho, ho.

165
00:08:24,702 --> 00:08:26,403
Dude, you know what
I love about him?

166
00:08:26,470 --> 00:08:27,938
He's so unassuming.

167
00:08:28,005 --> 00:08:29,372
Oh, he's brilliant.

168
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,942
You wouldn't even know
that he's a genius.

169
00:08:32,009 --> 00:08:33,443
Made it.

170
00:08:33,511 --> 00:08:34,377
He did.

171
00:08:34,445 --> 00:08:35,512
What do you think?

172
00:08:37,782 --> 00:08:39,950
Robbie joins the top 24.

173
00:08:40,017 --> 00:08:45,255
But that means there is one less
spot remaining for the guys.

174
00:08:45,323 --> 00:08:52,128
Coming up, over the next two hours,
the road to the top 24 continues.

175
00:08:52,196 --> 00:08:55,232
The last chance to impress
will fall flat for some.

176
00:08:55,299 --> 00:08:57,901
Not sure if that's one
of our "a" guys or what.

177
00:08:57,969 --> 00:09:01,004
And others will leave the
judges raving for more.

178
00:09:01,072 --> 00:09:01,838
Aaow!

179
00:09:01,906 --> 00:09:03,073
Thank you.

180
00:09:03,140 --> 00:09:05,342
The competition is stiff.

181
00:09:05,409 --> 00:09:07,944
The cuts will be severe.

182
00:09:08,012 --> 00:09:12,215
Who of your favorites will survive
to sing for America's vote?

183
00:09:12,283 --> 00:09:14,851
Somebody gonna get that chair?

Welcome back to Los Angeles
for the finajudgment.

185
00:09:26,117 --> 00:09:30,453
So far, seven contestants have
earned their spot in the top 24.

186
00:09:31,589 --> 00:09:32,489
You made it.

187
00:09:32,557 --> 00:09:35,625
And we've only just begun.

188
00:09:35,693 --> 00:09:39,296
Now, hoping that this long walk
is not the end of her journey is

189
00:09:39,363 --> 00:09:41,998
20-year-old tatynisa Wilson.

190
00:09:42,066 --> 00:09:46,036
She passed through with
flying colors in Milwaukee.

191
00:09:46,103 --> 00:09:49,306

much more difficult obstacle.

Okay.

198
00:10:14,498 --> 00:10:18,401
Having already blown one second chance...
I got onstage and, um, I

199
00:10:18,469 --> 00:10:19,569
forgot my words.

200
00:10:19,637 --> 00:10:23,873

Nah, I'm beyond
nervous right now.

207

Yeah, it's a... it's a wild
day for us too, trust me.

208

Is this something you
really, really want?

209
00:10:46,897 --> 00:10:49,466
This is more than anything
I've ever wanted in my life.

210
00:10:49,533 --> 00:10:51,201
I've been performing
my entire life.

211

It's something
that I need to do.

212
00:10:52,937 --> 00:10:55,205
It's just something about being
onstage that just gives me,

213
00:10:55,273 --> 00:10:57,841
like, that drive and the
adrenaline that comes, like,

214
00:10:57,908 --> 00:10:59,175
right before you get onstage.

215
00:10:59,243 --> 00:11:01,845
That's just like my natural high
right there, being onstage.

216
00:11:01,912 --> 00:11:02,679
I need that.

217
00:11:02,747 --> 00:11:04,748
I need it.

218
00:11:04,815 --> 00:11:08,318
Those are great words, but
Hollywood week, it took a little

219
00:11:08,386 --> 00:11:11,554
bit of a...
Unsure kind of nosedive.

220
00:11:11,622 --> 00:11:14,691
And I mean, I think you probably
disappointed yourself as well a

221
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:16,393
bit during Hollywood
week, right?

222
00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:17,527
I did.

223
00:11:22,967 --> 00:11:24,200
Sorry.

224
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:27,470
It's okay.

225
00:11:27,538 --> 00:11:32,142
On this show, it's about...
Not having a bad day.

226
00:11:32,209 --> 00:11:34,577
That's the brutal part of
this competition, right?

227
00:11:34,645 --> 00:11:38,682
You have to, every single time
you're up there, give us all

228
00:11:38,749 --> 00:11:40,917
that you know that
you have inside you.

229
00:11:40,985 --> 00:11:44,421
Even though you had a couple
of rough spots, we still saw

230
00:11:44,488 --> 00:11:46,189
what you just cried about.

231
00:11:46,257 --> 00:11:48,558
We saw that in you.

232
00:11:48,626 --> 00:11:52,862
And it's come out
every time you sang.

233
00:11:52,930 --> 00:11:55,665
So congratulations, girl.

234
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:57,000

Tell me how you're feeling.

338
00:15:20,905 --> 00:15:24,707
Uh, you know, I felt like in my initial
audition, it wasn't my strongest.

339
00:15:24,775 --> 00:15:27,944
And, uh, Randy, you asked for me
to try and find the artist who I

340
00:15:28,012 --> 00:15:30,647
wanted to be, and so I began to
choose songs I felt showed off

341
00:15:30,714 --> 00:15:33,349
my voice and swed off
what kind of artist I am.

342
00:15:33,417 --> 00:15:36,619
And so I feel like I did that
to the best of my ability.

343
00:15:36,687 --> 00:15:38,555
And I know it lies
in your hands now.

00:15:58,475 --> 00:16:02,278
So whatever happens here, I feel
like you really got something

356
00:16:02,346 --> 00:16:05,915
out of this, and... that you can
take... we really are feeling who you

357
00:16:05,983 --> 00:16:08,451
are now, um, as an artist.

358
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:10,320
We were a little worried
in the middle there.

359
00:16:10,387 --> 00:16:11,120
Okay.

360
00:16:11,188 --> 00:16:13,957
So that's why, you know, we're a little
confused here with all this, but, uh...

361
00:16:14,024 --> 00:16:14,824
Okay.

362
00:16:14,892 --> 00:16:22,865
You know, it's up to me, and, uh,
I'm just sorry to tell you that...

363
00:16:22,933 --> 00:16:23,900
Here we go, here we go.

364
00:16:23,968 --> 00:16:25,501
I'm in the top 24!

365
00:16:26,737 --> 00:16:29,272
Oh, my God, dude!

366
00:16:29,340 --> 00:16:31,107
Oh, my gosh!

367
00:16:31,175 --> 00:16:32,175
Oh, man!

368
00:16:32,242 --> 00:16:33,343
Are you serious?

369
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:34,877
No freaking way!

370
00:16:34,945 --> 00:16:36,446
Oh, yes!

371
00:16:38,916 --> 00:16:42,352
My gosh!

372
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:43,920
Welcome to the top 24.

373
00:16:43,988 --> 00:16:45,521
Thank you so much, dude.

374
00:16:45,589 --> 00:16:47,357
Oh, my gosh.

375
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:51,594
Looking for the same news as she
takes the long walk is Tim's

376
00:16:51,662 --> 00:16:54,497
partner from Vegas,
Julie zorrilla.

377
00:16:54,565 --> 00:16:57,734
At her San Francisco audition,
Julie shared the story of her

378
00:16:57,801 --> 00:17:00,403
parents' ultimate sacrifice.

379
00:17:00,471 --> 00:17:04,007
The '90s were a time of a lot
of violence, um, in Colombia.

380
00:17:04,074 --> 00:17:05,274
They just left everything.

381
00:17:05,342 --> 00:17:07,543
I can't imagine what it would
be like to move to a different

382
00:17:07,611 --> 00:17:11,748
country, with two kids, without jobs,
and doing everything that they've done.

383
00:17:11,815 --> 00:17:12,882
It's just so inspiring.

384
00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:17,687
After a strong audition, Jennifer
revealed some very high expectations.

385
00:17:17,755 --> 00:17:18,488
Wow.

386
00:17:18,555 --> 00:17:20,323
Yeah, wow. Winner?

387
00:17:20,391 --> 00:17:21,257
Aah!

388
00:17:21,325 --> 00:17:24,594
With strong performances in
Hollywood and Vegas, she seemed

389
00:17:24,662 --> 00:17:27,330
to be coasting into
her final audition.

Now it's time for
Julie's judgment.

399
00:17:54,558 --> 00:17:55,324
Hi.

400
00:17:55,392 --> 00:17:56,426
Hi, you guys.

401
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:57,660
Hello. How are you?

402
00:17:57,728 --> 00:18:02,532
I'm doing so well now
that I'm here, finally.

403
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,535
This has been a long
road for all of us, no?

404
00:18:05,602 --> 00:18:08,471
With all the contestants, you
know, we all are fans of some,

405
00:18:08,539 --> 00:18:09,772
some people are not.

406
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,274
Some people have
to be convinced.

407
00:18:11,341 --> 00:18:12,442
We... we go back and forth.

408
00:18:12,509 --> 00:18:15,111
And it depends on each moment.

409
00:18:15,179 --> 00:18:19,115
You know, we want people to get up
there, and we want to feel something.

410
00:18:19,183 --> 00:18:25,088
I think sometimes, in some of your
performances, it cked a little bit of depth.

411
00:18:25,155 --> 00:18:26,089
Connection.

412
00:18:26,156 --> 00:18:27,090
And emotion.

413
00:18:27,157 --> 00:18:29,225
Just that connection with the
lyric and that connection with

414
00:18:29,293 --> 00:18:31,928
the listener, so...
You get something here as opposed to

415
00:18:31,995 --> 00:18:33,463
just getting something here.

416
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:35,331
At the end of the day, you
just want people to feel

417
00:18:35,399 --> 00:18:36,265
something when you're up there.

418
00:18:36,333 --> 00:18:36,999
Of course, yeah.

419
00:18:37,067 --> 00:18:38,267
End of the day... right?

420
00:18:38,335 --> 00:18:40,369
That's what we all want
to do as performers.

421
00:18:40,437 --> 00:18:44,741
Thinking about all your
performances up until now, um,

422
00:18:44,808 --> 00:18:47,443
and all the things we had to
take into consideration to get

423
00:18:47,511 --> 00:18:50,680
to the decision that
we had to make...

424
00:18:56,553 --> 00:18:58,321
You're in the top 24!

425
00:18:58,388 --> 00:18:59,555
Aah!

426
00:18:59,623 --> 00:19:01,858
And we want to see you...
You made it!

427
00:19:01,925 --> 00:19:02,759
Let go!

428
00:19:02,826 --> 00:19:03,860
You can't come from here.

429
00:19:03,927 --> 00:19:04,694
You gotta come from here.

430
00:19:04,762 --> 00:19:05,428
Feel, not think.

431
00:19:05,496 --> 00:19:06,629
Feel, not think.

432
00:19:06,697 --> 00:19:07,864
Feel, not think.

433
00:19:07,931 --> 00:19:09,699
God, you are so beautiful.

434
00:19:09,767 --> 00:19:12,201
Every time I see you,
it's, like, blinding.

435
00:19:12,269 --> 00:19:14,237
Thank you so much.

436
00:19:14,304 --> 00:19:16,005
Congratulations, Julie!

437
00:19:16,073 --> 00:19:17,807
We look forward to seeing you.

438
00:19:17,875 --> 00:19:20,009
Aah!

439
00:19:20,077 --> 00:19:21,544

00:19:33,390 --> 00:19:35,591
So Julie's through
to the top 24.

448
00:19:35,659 --> 00:19:37,693
And she gives the holding
room a pick-me-up.

449
00:19:37,761 --> 00:19:38,995
Yes.

450
00:19:39,062 --> 00:19:41,430
Oh, my God! Oh! Oh!

451
00:19:41,498 --> 00:19:43,032
That was almost really bad.

452
00:19:45,636 --> 00:19:48,871
That's one of those moments that,
you know, will be on the DVD.

453
00:19:48,939 --> 00:19:51,440
Coming up, judgment
day continues.

454
00:19:51,508 --> 00:19:55,211
Two country boys will walk the
path of enlightenment, but only

455
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:57,146
one will mosey on through.

456
00:19:57,214 --> 00:20:00,349
Welcome to the 24.

457
00:20:00,417 --> 00:20:03,619
And later, tough
choices will be made.

458
00:20:03,687 --> 00:20:05,054
You didn't make it.

459
00:20:05,122 --> 00:20:07,123
By no means was this unanimous.

460
00:20:07,191 --> 00:20:11,427
As the judges continue
to cast Idol's top 24.

461
00:20:20,427 --> 00:20:23,562
Welcome back American Idol.

462
00:20:23,630 --> 00:20:24,563
There you go.

463
00:20:24,631 --> 00:20:27,366
Is that... is that... is that like...
Nah.

464
00:20:27,434 --> 00:20:30,236
It's, uh, welcome back
to American Idol!

465
00:20:30,303 --> 00:20:32,104
Oh, I gotta get a little higher.

466
00:20:32,172 --> 00:20:34,507
American! Yes, you have to be,
like, half the size of you.

467
00:20:34,574 --> 00:20:35,541
I'll try.

468
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:37,309
You gotta... go.

469
00:20:37,377 --> 00:20:38,744
American Idol.

474
00:20:43,583 --> 00:20:47,853
You think there's a spot for two
country singers like you guys?

475
00:20:47,921 --> 00:20:49,054
I sure hope so.

476
00:20:49,122 --> 00:20:50,256
I would hope so too, yes.

477
00:20:50,323 --> 00:20:53,826
I think we... we both definitely
bring something different.

478
00:20:53,894 --> 00:20:57,162
What Scotty brought back in
Milwaukee was one of the most

479
00:20:57,230 --> 00:20:59,498
memorable auditions
from the road.

480
00:20:59,566 --> 00:21:02,434
With the right songs, we
discovered him; He's legendary.

481
00:21:02,502 --> 00:21:03,702
He's on his way.

482
00:21:03,703 --> 00:21:06,372
But his strong start lost
momentum in Hollywood.

483
00:21:06,439 --> 00:21:09,542
First, his character was
tested in group round.

484
00:21:09,609 --> 00:21:12,545
For me, personally, I apologize
for not sticking up for him.

485
00:21:12,612 --> 00:21:18,651
Then he faced an even
bigger struggle.

486
00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:26,458
Ah, pick it up, pick it up.

487
00:21:26,459 --> 00:21:28,594
I don't think I really
performed up to my standards.

488
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:30,462
I've never forgotten
lyrics in my life.

489
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:32,932
I'm kind of pissed
off at myself.

490
00:21:32,999 --> 00:21:36,302

Scotty!

514
00:22:44,404 --> 00:22:45,938
I told you, that's my favorite.

515
00:22:46,006 --> 00:22:47,506
I like that, man.

516
00:22:47,574 --> 00:22:48,807
Thank y'all very much.

517
00:22:48,875 --> 00:22:51,644
You make a Bronx girl
love country music.

518
00:22:51,711 --> 00:22:56,081
My grandma told you to tell... to tell
you, Jennifer, I know you can't tell,

519
00:22:56,149 --> 00:22:57,483
but I am 1/4 puerto rican.

520
00:22:58,451 --> 00:22:59,284
Ohh!

521
00:22:59,352 --> 00:23:00,452
She told me to tell you.

522
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,454
That's where that
soul comes from.

523
00:23:02,522 --> 00:23:03,155
Yes, ma'am.

524
00:23:03,223 --> 00:23:05,591
I can hear a little something,
a little flavor in there.

525
00:23:05,659 --> 00:23:12,197
But now, it's no laughing matter, as
it's time for Scotty to take the chair.

526
00:23:12,265 --> 00:23:15,501
You know, being here today is, uh...
Is nerve-racking.

527
00:23:15,568 --> 00:23:17,603
You've done all you can do,
and, you know, sometimes you

528
00:23:17,671 --> 00:23:19,605
haven't done as best
as you'd like to.

529
00:23:19,673 --> 00:23:23,809
All we're gonna do is walk up there,
and it's yea or nay from here on out.

530
00:23:23,877 --> 00:23:26,378
When you auditioned for the
show, did you ever think, uh,

531
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:28,881
this is what the journey
was gonna be like?

532
00:23:28,948 --> 00:23:32,217
You know, in a little back compartment
of my brain, I kind of was dreaming it.

533
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:34,119
I mean, I remember sitting there
with my dad saying, "dad, I

534
00:23:34,187 --> 00:23:35,754
think I'm in over my head."

535
00:23:35,822 --> 00:23:39,058
I mean, just walking around hearing some
amazing singers, you know, but, uh,

536
00:23:39,125 --> 00:23:41,794
it's an honor to be here,
especially in front of y'all.

537
00:23:41,861 --> 00:23:44,463
Hollywood week was a
little interesting.

538
00:23:44,531 --> 00:23:46,598
There were some highs and
lows in Hollywood week.

539
00:23:46,666 --> 00:23:48,834
You know, for me personally,
that whole night with jaycee,

540
00:23:48,902 --> 00:23:52,771
that was more about me not being
the man I should have been, and,

541
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:55,407
uh, not stepping up when I
should have stepped up for him,

542
00:23:55,475 --> 00:23:59,011
'cause he's a phenomenal kid,
and he didn't deserve that.

543
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:01,513
That night I just went back
to my bed and cried because I

544
00:24:01,581 --> 00:24:03,182
wasn't the man I
should have been.

545
00:24:03,249 --> 00:24:04,149
I didn't step up.

546
00:24:04,217 --> 00:24:06,351
Well, listen, dude, you're 17.

547
00:24:06,419 --> 00:24:09,688
We were all a fan since day one.

548
00:24:09,756 --> 00:24:14,059
Uh, that authenticity of the guy
that you want to be and the man

549
00:24:14,127 --> 00:24:17,262
that you want to be, and
you stepping up, we love.

550
00:24:17,330 --> 00:24:19,631
We're big fans.

551
00:24:19,699 --> 00:24:22,634
Guess what that means.

552
00:24:22,702 --> 00:24:23,869
Congratulations!

553
00:24:23,937 --> 00:24:24,703
You're in the top 24, dog!

554
00:24:24,771 --> 00:24:26,105
Yay, Scotty mccreery!

555
00:24:27,073 --> 00:24:27,906
You made it, baby.

556
00:24:27,974 --> 00:24:28,640
Thank you.

557
00:24:28,708 --> 00:24:31,977
You made it, you made
it, you made it.

558
00:24:32,045 --> 00:24:33,278
Congratulations.

559
00:24:33,346 --> 00:24:34,279
Thank you.

560
00:24:36,082 --> 00:24:38,383
Good night.

561
00:24:38,451 --> 00:24:40,686
I love that he still
stepped up in that moment.

562
00:24:40,754 --> 00:24:43,555
You know what, there's good
people in this world who stand

563
00:24:43,623 --> 00:24:46,625
up for what's right, that make
mistakes and then go back and do

564
00:24:46,693 --> 00:24:50,929
the right thing, and he's
a good... he's a good boy.

565
00:24:50,997 --> 00:24:51,764
Whoo!

566
00:24:54,067 --> 00:24:54,967
So Scotty's in.

567
00:24:55,034 --> 00:24:56,735
♪ One day I could see it ♪

568
00:24:56,803 --> 00:25:01,640
And his strong male country voice
will be a part of our top 24.

569
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:02,875
Jaycee, I love you, man.

570
00:25:02,942 --> 00:25:03,876
I love you, man.

571
00:25:03,943 --> 00:25:06,478
Okay, we'll go to
school tomorrow.

572
00:25:06,546 --> 00:25:10,783
But, unfortunately, there
wasn't room enough for two.

573
00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:12,684
It's the end of the
journey for you.

574
00:25:12,752 --> 00:25:15,320
We just didn't think you
were quite ready for it yet.

575
00:25:15,388 --> 00:25:16,388
I agree.

576
00:25:16,456 --> 00:25:17,956
I think you're a real performer.

577
00:25:18,024 --> 00:25:20,192
Don't let this set you back
even one little second.

578
00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:21,026
Thank you so much.

579
00:25:21,094 --> 00:25:21,794
Nice to meet you, man.

580
00:25:21,861 --> 00:25:24,229
And I like saying the whole
name... John Wayne schulz.

581
00:25:24,297 --> 00:25:25,197
I love that name.

582
00:25:25,265 --> 00:25:26,698
Tell your parents
what's up, too.

583
00:25:26,766 --> 00:25:27,466
Yes, sir, I will.

584
00:25:27,534 --> 00:25:29,835
See you later, man.

585
00:25:29,903 --> 00:25:34,439
Ooh, John Wayne is leaving us.

586
00:25:34,507 --> 00:25:35,841
Hey.

587
00:25:35,909 --> 00:25:37,109
I didn't make it.

588
00:25:37,177 --> 00:25:37,876
You didn't make it?

589
00:25:37,944 --> 00:25:38,811
What?

590
00:25:38,878 --> 00:25:39,711
I'm sorry, man.

591
00:25:39,779 --> 00:25:40,479
It's okay, man.

592
00:25:40,547 --> 00:25:43,816
When you get to this point, I
think you want it more than

593
00:25:43,883 --> 00:25:47,886
anything, 'cause you can just see it at the...
At the grasp of your fingertips,

594
00:25:47,954 --> 00:25:53,392
and so I feel kind of like, um, I
tripped at the finish line almost.

595
00:25:53,459 --> 00:25:59,998
But this has been a blessing to
experience everything up to this point.

596
00:26:00,066 --> 00:26:05,838
Seeing some favorites go home is
dampening the mood in the holding room.

597
00:26:05,905 --> 00:26:08,240
Well, except for jovany barreto.

598
00:26:08,308 --> 00:26:09,708
Okay, jovany.

599
00:26:09,776 --> 00:26:10,409
Where's jovany?

600
00:26:10,476 --> 00:26:11,443
Jovany, jovany, jovany.

601
00:26:13,479 --> 00:26:14,746
You still got your tags on.

602
00:26:14,814 --> 00:26:16,181
Yeah, I know.

603
00:26:16,249 --> 00:26:18,517
Look it, jovany's still
got tags on his stuff.

604
00:26:18,585 --> 00:26:19,284
Rip it off for me.

605
00:26:19,352 --> 00:26:20,285
Rip it off.

606
00:26:20,353 --> 00:26:21,220
There it is.

607
00:26:21,287 --> 00:26:24,056
We all remember shipbuilder jovany
from his revealing audition.

608
00:26:24,123 --> 00:26:25,524
So this is for you, Jennifer.

609
00:26:25,592 --> 00:26:27,125
I'm sorry, Marc, I
love you, dude.

610
00:26:27,193 --> 00:26:27,793
You're the bomb.

611
00:26:27,861 --> 00:26:29,995
Whoo!

612
00:26:30,063 --> 00:26:32,197
Beforehand, I was like, I'm gonna
take the shirt off, and so

613
00:26:32,265 --> 00:26:35,400
I wanted to make sure that I got
my golden ticket before then.

614
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:38,503
I want to make sure America knows
that, you know, I'm here to sing.

615
00:26:38,571 --> 00:26:41,173
I'm here to, you know, win a
competition on my talent.

616
00:26:41,241 --> 00:26:45,077
So our Latin lover bared it all
for his final performance.

How are you?

624
00:27:14,407 --> 00:27:15,073
How are you? Good.

625
00:27:15,141 --> 00:27:15,807
Fantastic.

626
00:27:15,875 --> 00:27:16,842
What's up, man?

627
00:27:16,910 --> 00:27:17,643
Have a seat.

628
00:27:17,710 --> 00:27:19,111
How have you been?

629
00:27:19,178 --> 00:27:23,482
Ha, uh... I don't know, just been,
uh, working out, letting my hair

630
00:27:23,549 --> 00:27:24,516
grow out a little bit.

631
00:27:25,985 --> 00:27:26,985
How about you guys?

632
00:27:27,053 --> 00:27:27,853
How's everything?

633
00:27:27,921 --> 00:27:31,490
Well, we've been agonizing
over this decision, you know.

634
00:27:31,557 --> 00:27:32,157
Tough decisions.

635
00:27:32,225 --> 00:27:36,795
From the last time we saw you
guys perform, and taking

636
00:27:36,863 --> 00:27:40,799
into consideration everything that's
happened since the first time we saw you.

637
00:27:40,867 --> 00:27:44,036
You know that there's
only 24 spots.

638
00:27:44,103 --> 00:27:45,170
Only 24.

639
00:27:45,238 --> 00:27:47,873
And that means a lot of
people are going home today,

640
00:27:47,941 --> 00:27:51,310
people that maybe don't deserve
to go home with great voices

641
00:27:51,377 --> 00:27:54,646
and a lot of talent, and we want you to...
We want everybody to understand

642
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:57,482
that.

643
00:27:57,550 --> 00:28:00,752
But luckily for you, that doesn't
matter, because you're in the top 24.

644
00:28:00,820 --> 00:28:02,054
Oh, man!

645
00:28:02,121 --> 00:28:02,721
You made it, dude.

646
00:28:02,789 --> 00:28:03,655
Whoo!

647
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:04,923
Yeah, baby.

648
00:28:04,991 --> 00:28:06,291
Oh, man!

649
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,292
Congratulations, man.

650
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:09,027
Mom!

651
00:28:09,095 --> 00:28:10,162
Whoo!

652
00:28:10,229 --> 00:28:11,697
Ha ha ha!

653
00:28:11,764 --> 00:28:12,631
Whoo!

654
00:28:12,699 --> 00:28:14,099
Yeah, baby!

655
00:28:14,167 --> 00:28:16,735
Now jovany's in your
hands, America.

656
00:28:16,803 --> 00:28:18,437
Do with him what you will.

657
00:28:18,504 --> 00:28:20,372
No more shipyard for me, baby.

658
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,007
No more shipyard for me!

659
00:28:22,075 --> 00:28:23,775
I'm ready to rock and roll, man.

660
00:28:23,843 --> 00:28:25,644
Top 24, boom!

661
00:28:25,712 --> 00:28:31,717
After the break, only 12 spots remain,
as Rachel zevita faces the panel.

662
00:28:31,784 --> 00:28:35,220
I kept trying to figure out what
you guys wanted to see from me.

663
00:28:35,288 --> 00:28:36,955
We want to see you always.

664
00:28:37,023 --> 00:28:38,590
We only want to see you.

665
00:28:38,658 --> 00:28:43,996
Whose performances will take them to the
main stage, and whose will fall flat?

666
00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:56,271
Welcome back to the
final judgment.

667
00:28:56,339 --> 00:28:59,608
Time keeps ticking away here
in the holding room, and the

668
00:28:59,676 --> 00:29:01,343
tension is overwhelming.

669
00:29:01,411 --> 00:29:06,615
Inside, the judges are awaiting
the next victim in the chair.

670
00:29:06,683 --> 00:29:10,485
And making her way towards them
is 24-year-old Lauren Turner.

671
00:29:10,553 --> 00:29:14,590
We first met this hardworking
housekeeper in new Orleans.

672
00:29:14,657 --> 00:29:17,092
Oh, I've wanted to be a singer
ever since I was a little

673
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,096
girl, so American Idol would mean I
don't have to clean houses anymore.

674
00:29:21,164 --> 00:29:25,634

How are you, Lauren?

686
00:29:58,902 --> 00:30:00,068
Hi.

687
00:30:00,136 --> 00:30:03,538
So listen, I know this has been a
nerve-racking day for everyone.

688
00:30:03,606 --> 00:30:06,708
When you came in and you sang
in new Orleans, we were blown

689
00:30:06,776 --> 00:30:07,910
away by the big voice.

690
00:30:07,977 --> 00:30:09,144
Thank you.

691
00:30:09,212 --> 00:30:10,479
The whole thing.

692
00:30:10,546 --> 00:30:14,449
I think Hollywood week, if I'm
honest, was kind of up and down

693
00:30:14,517 --> 00:30:15,584
for you a little bit.

694
00:30:15,652 --> 00:30:17,486
I mean, there were some bright
moments, and there were some

695
00:30:17,553 --> 00:30:22,424
moments that were a
little questionable.

696
00:30:22,492 --> 00:30:24,092
Okay.

697
00:30:28,665 --> 00:30:29,665
You made it.

698
00:30:29,732 --> 00:30:31,233
Congratulations.

699
00:30:31,301 --> 00:30:33,201
Congratulations.

700
00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:34,469
You made it.

701
00:30:34,537 --> 00:30:36,638
You made it.

702
00:30:36,706 --> 00:30:38,640
Yay, Lauren.

703
00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:40,075
Aww!

704
00:30:40,143 --> 00:30:40,943
Thank you.

705
00:30:41,010 --> 00:30:43,111
Oh, no, don't cry like that.

706
00:30:43,179 --> 00:30:45,614
So the maid makes
it to the big-time.

707
00:30:45,682 --> 00:30:47,616
Randy, who dat?

708
00:30:47,684 --> 00:30:48,650
Who dat?

709
00:30:48,718 --> 00:30:50,385
New Orleans in the house!

710
00:30:50,453 --> 00:30:51,153
I made it.

711
00:30:51,220 --> 00:30:51,820
You made it!

712
00:31:00,964 --> 00:31:04,166
Awesome.

713
00:31:04,233 --> 00:31:05,067
It's normal.

714
00:31:05,134 --> 00:31:05,934
I hope he's kidding.

715
00:31:06,002 --> 00:31:07,903
Okay, good, 'cause you
have to understand.

716
00:31:07,971 --> 00:31:09,838
You have to understand what
that does to us for a moment.

717
00:31:09,906 --> 00:31:11,006
We're thinking, oh, God.

718
00:31:11,074 --> 00:31:11,840
For a moment, I was out.

719
00:31:11,908 --> 00:31:13,175
Here comes the medic.

720
00:31:13,242 --> 00:31:17,446
That may have been the world's worst
fake-out, but inside the judgment room,

721
00:31:17,513 --> 00:31:20,282
there was nothing more real
than the feeling of rejection

722
00:31:20,350 --> 00:31:25,153
for Milwaukee's tiwan strong and
Erin Kelly from new Orleans.

723
00:31:25,221 --> 00:31:29,324
I'm sorry to say that you didn't
make the cut this time, baby.

724
00:31:29,392 --> 00:31:30,525
All right.

725
00:31:30,593 --> 00:31:32,394
I don't want to drag
it out for you.

726
00:31:32,462 --> 00:31:36,665
The truth is is that you did
not make it into the top 24.

727
00:31:36,733 --> 00:31:38,000
It's the end of the road.

728
00:31:38,067 --> 00:31:40,802
Going back to reality, 'cause
this was nothing but a dream.

729
00:31:41,904 --> 00:31:42,704
Thank you, Erin.

730
00:31:42,772 --> 00:31:47,009
Being so close, yet so far,
is a tough thing to handle.

731
00:31:47,076 --> 00:31:51,179
And that's something the next
contestant is somewhat familiar with.

732
00:31:51,247 --> 00:31:56,985
Next person is somebody that I
have known for quite a long time.

733
00:31:57,053 --> 00:31:58,253
Oh, God.

734
00:32:00,289 --> 00:32:01,890
Uh-oh!

735
00:32:01,958 --> 00:32:02,624
Peek-a-boo.

736
00:32:02,692 --> 00:32:03,325
Hi.

737
00:32:03,393 --> 00:32:04,226
Come on.

738
00:32:04,293 --> 00:32:06,862
Oh, no, you don't
want to put this off.

739
00:32:06,929 --> 00:32:08,463
Come on, rache.

740
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:13,168
You have... you have
evolved so much.

741
00:32:13,236 --> 00:32:14,936
I feel like we've
grown up together.

742
00:32:15,004 --> 00:32:17,272
And now let's go get
top 24, all right?

743
00:32:17,340 --> 00:32:18,206
All right.

744
00:32:18,274 --> 00:32:19,141
Good luck.

745
00:32:19,208 --> 00:32:19,808
Thanks, man.

746
00:32:19,876 --> 00:32:21,009
Go get 'em, go get 'em.

747
00:32:21,077 --> 00:32:22,411
Let's do it.

748
00:32:22,478 --> 00:32:26,882
A Hollywood veteran from season
six, Rachel has never made it

749
00:32:26,949 --> 00:32:27,749
this far in the competition.

750
00:32:29,118 --> 00:32:32,454
So it's no surprise she brought
some special guests with her.

751
00:32:32,522 --> 00:32:34,990
Both my mom and my grandma
came all the way from New York

752
00:32:35,058 --> 00:32:36,391
to be here with me today.

753
00:32:41,064 --> 00:32:42,764
You think I should put on a few?

754
00:32:42,765 --> 00:32:44,166
No.

755
00:32:44,233 --> 00:32:47,202
You got plans later?

756
00:32:47,270 --> 00:32:48,303
Neither do I.

757
00:32:49,972 --> 00:32:55,143
I honestly would feel horrible if my
83-year-old grandma came all the way over

758
00:32:55,211 --> 00:32:58,213
here, and I come out there and I
don't make it... I'm just gonna

759
00:32:58,281 --> 00:33:00,048
feel like such a failure to her.

760
00:33:00,116 --> 00:33:04,653
But if I come out and I'm on the show...
I know they'll be

761
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,787
really happy.

762
00:33:05,855 --> 00:33:07,155
I'm sorry.

763
00:33:07,223 --> 00:33:11,059
And with so much on the line, did
Rachel make the judges happy

764
00:33:11,127 --> 00:33:13,061

Ya think?

780
00:33:55,471 --> 00:33:58,874
That was the first time where I was,
like, "I know I'm a good singer.

781
00:33:58,941 --> 00:34:00,575
I know I can do this."

782
00:34:00,643 --> 00:34:05,080
I'm really proud of
what I did onstage.

783
00:34:05,148 --> 00:34:06,248
And I hope they see that.

784
00:34:06,315 --> 00:34:07,449
Hey, guys.

785
00:34:07,517 --> 00:34:09,284
How are you?

786
00:34:09,352 --> 00:34:11,686
I like the feathers
on these shoes.

787
00:34:11,754 --> 00:34:12,454
Beautiful.

788
00:34:12,522 --> 00:34:13,555
Thank you.

789
00:34:13,623 --> 00:34:15,257
Is that so you can fly, baby?

790
00:34:15,324 --> 00:34:16,725
I hope so.

791
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,829
Well, listen, I tell you what, you
impressed us when we first saw you.

792
00:34:20,897 --> 00:34:23,298
I mean, I remember there were a
couple of good moments, a couple

793
00:34:23,366 --> 00:34:26,501
of "I'm not sure" moments
for me personally.

794
00:34:26,569 --> 00:34:30,005
I kept trying to figure out what
you guys wanted to see from me.

795
00:34:30,072 --> 00:34:31,640
We want to see you always.

796
00:34:31,707 --> 00:34:32,741
We only want to see you.

797
00:34:32,808 --> 00:34:33,708
We kept telling you that.

798
00:34:33,776 --> 00:34:37,846
You know I've been a fan of
yours for many years, not just

799
00:34:37,914 --> 00:34:42,050
this year, and I've been rooting
for you, rooting for you.

800
00:34:42,118 --> 00:34:46,288
And when I wouldn't see that
spark that I knew was in there,

801
00:34:46,355 --> 00:34:48,957
it would... honestly, it was like I
wanted to come up on stage and

802
00:34:49,025 --> 00:34:50,592
just pull it out of you.

803
00:34:50,660 --> 00:34:54,396
You can't be wondering, "what does that
person in the third row want me to do?

804
00:34:54,463 --> 00:34:55,830
Why isn't he smiling?"

805
00:34:55,898 --> 00:34:57,332
That's not what it's about.

806
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,802
It's about really doing something
sincere from your heart.

807
00:35:00,870 --> 00:35:03,138
You feel it, they feel it,
and then it all works.

808
00:35:03,206 --> 00:35:06,441
And that's what this is about.

809
00:35:06,509 --> 00:35:12,347
Well, that's why this is hard for us, so...
Really sorry to have to say

810
00:35:12,415 --> 00:35:16,952
that, uh...
That you're coming through.

811
00:35:17,019 --> 00:35:18,453
Wait.

812
00:35:18,521 --> 00:35:19,387
We want Rachel!

813
00:35:19,455 --> 00:35:20,755
Congratulations, Rachel!

814
00:35:20,823 --> 00:35:21,690
You made it!

815
00:35:21,757 --> 00:35:23,325
You made it.

816
00:35:23,392 --> 00:35:24,492
We want the you that's been you.

817
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,727

We want Rachel.

All of Rachel.

822
00:35:32,101 --> 00:35:33,802
I can't thank you enough.

823
00:35:33,869 --> 00:35:35,470
And I can't believe it.

824
00:35:35,538 --> 00:35:36,438
Oh, yes.

825
00:35:36,505 --> 00:35:41,176
A stunned Rachel takes
another spot for the girls.

826
00:35:41,244 --> 00:35:42,277
I did it!

827
00:35:42,345 --> 00:35:43,278

proud of.

843
00:36:10,773 --> 00:36:15,877
When Idol returns, will Jordan dorsey
live to regret Hollywood week?

844
00:36:15,945 --> 00:36:19,681
You had some little auditions of
your own during group rounds.

845
00:36:19,749 --> 00:36:21,850
I didn't want to dis anybody
on the spot, but I was like,

846
00:36:21,917 --> 00:36:23,752
"it's not gonna work."

847
00:36:23,819 --> 00:36:26,154
You have to know that I
fought for you the whole way

848
00:36:26,222 --> 00:36:29,991
through, and that's what
makes it difficult.

849
00:36:30,059 --> 00:36:32,727
Has Lauren alaina's
fire gone out?

850
00:36:32,795 --> 00:36:36,431
I'm just not sure how you're
gonna be able to handle it.

851
00:36:36,499 --> 00:36:41,036
The pressure grows as we pick
the people you will vote for.

852
00:36:53,523 --> 00:36:55,757
Welcome back to American Idol.

853
00:36:55,825 --> 00:37:01,396
As the holding room is getting tense,
only 10 of the 24 spots remain.

854
00:37:01,464 --> 00:37:05,233
Hoping to get one of those coveted
spots is kendra Campbell.

855
00:37:05,301 --> 00:37:06,969
Kendra, you are up.

856
00:37:07,036 --> 00:37:07,903
Go get 'em, girl.

857
00:37:07,971 --> 00:37:09,705
The moment I've
been waiting for.

858
00:37:09,772 --> 00:37:10,372
This is... this one?

859
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,673
Really? Thank you. That's sweet.

860
00:37:11,741 --> 00:37:12,674
I'm flattered.

861
00:37:12,742 --> 00:37:13,575
I can go home now.

862
00:37:13,643 --> 00:37:14,376
All right, see you later.

863
00:37:14,444 --> 00:37:15,243
No, come on.

864
00:37:15,311 --> 00:37:17,946
They're ready for you.

865
00:37:18,014 --> 00:37:20,182

Perform all that.

869
00:37:24,187 --> 00:37:28,457
I mean, your whole spirit, everything
about you needs to open up.

870
00:37:28,524 --> 00:37:31,360

It was really good.

879
00:37:46,976 --> 00:37:47,642
Excellent.

880
00:37:47,710 --> 00:37:48,543

Thank you.

882
00:37:49,479 --> 00:37:54,282
And for her final performance, kendra
makes a calculated move by singing her

00:37:54,350 --> 00:37:55,851

Now will the strategy pay off?

895
00:38:20,309 --> 00:38:23,311
I feel like every performance I
got progressively better, and

896
00:38:23,379 --> 00:38:25,514
I hope that the judges
picked up on that.

897
00:38:25,581 --> 00:38:30,285
I think that that process would
continue if they allow me to stay.

898
00:38:30,353 --> 00:38:31,253
Hi.

899
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,054
How are you?

900
00:38:32,121 --> 00:38:32,788
Hi, kendra.

901
00:38:32,855 --> 00:38:34,322
Oh, you know, I'm nervous.

902
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:37,659
Really nervous, but...
What are you nervous about?

903
00:38:37,727 --> 00:38:42,297
Well, I don't know my future, and
it's right there in your hands.

904
00:38:42,365 --> 00:38:44,032
Oh, boy.

905
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:45,734
We're a little concerned.

906
00:38:45,802 --> 00:38:46,501
Okay.

907
00:38:46,569 --> 00:38:51,506
Um, 24 people now that
we have to get through.

908
00:38:51,574 --> 00:38:54,576
And they all have
to be beyond good.

909
00:38:54,644 --> 00:38:57,546
The whole package, you know.

910
00:38:57,613 --> 00:39:00,082
I think it's a...
Just an amazing accomplishment

911
00:39:00,149 --> 00:39:01,516
just to get this far, you know.

912
00:39:01,584 --> 00:39:02,617
Yeah.

913
00:39:02,685 --> 00:39:05,087
Obviously, I hope I get the
chance to do more, because

914
00:39:05,154 --> 00:39:07,055
there's things that you
haven't heard me do yet.

915
00:39:07,123 --> 00:39:10,025
I just want to say, you know,
I think that all the way...

916
00:39:10,093 --> 00:39:13,829
all the way down to right here now,
you've done the right thing.

917
00:39:13,896 --> 00:39:14,830
Thank you.

918
00:39:14,897 --> 00:39:16,698
Every time you sang,
you blew us away.

919
00:39:16,766 --> 00:39:19,167
I can't be upset with that no
matter what happens, you know.

920
00:39:22,738 --> 00:39:23,638
All right.

921
00:39:23,706 --> 00:39:26,174
Well, they told me a few things.

922
00:39:26,242 --> 00:39:30,645
I did a good job every time, but
there's a lot of people that

923
00:39:30,713 --> 00:39:33,381
had to get cut, but
I'm not one of them.

924
00:39:33,449 --> 00:39:34,616
I get to go through.

925
00:39:34,684 --> 00:39:36,451
Why are you playing
the trick on us?

926
00:39:36,519 --> 00:39:38,320
Because I never get to do that.

927
00:39:38,387 --> 00:39:39,387
Top 24!

928
00:39:39,455 --> 00:39:40,455
Go get it!

929
00:39:40,523 --> 00:39:41,523
All right!

930
00:39:41,591 --> 00:39:45,293
So kendra earns her way into
the top 24, but the remaining

931
00:39:45,361 --> 00:39:48,330
contestants know that with each
person that comes through the

932
00:39:48,397 --> 00:39:51,032
door cheering, their
chances dwindle.

933
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:52,234
Jordan is not messing around.

934
00:39:52,301 --> 00:39:53,802
He wants to get his news.

935
00:39:53,870 --> 00:39:58,373
Taking that long walk next is
music teacher Jordan dorsey,

936
00:39:58,441 --> 00:39:59,908
who we met in new Orleans.

937
00:39:59,976 --> 00:40:01,510
I'm a very stern teacher.

938
00:40:01,577 --> 00:40:04,112
I'm a very hard teacher.

939
00:40:04,113 --> 00:40:06,014
No, no.

940
00:40:06,082 --> 00:40:07,482
♪ Baby, lock them doors ♪

941
00:40:07,550 --> 00:40:08,650

942
00:40:08,718 --> 00:40:09,885
Well, I can sing.

943
00:40:09,952 --> 00:40:12,053
I feel it.

944
00:40:12,054 --> 00:40:14,322
And in the end, it paid off.

945
00:40:14,390 --> 00:40:15,991
♪ Was all it took ♪

946
00:40:16,058 --> 00:40:19,194

00:40:19,262 --> 00:40:21,763
And in Vegas... ♪ yeah, yeah ♪

948
00:40:21,831 --> 00:40:24,032
The judges gave Jordan
a wake-up call.

949
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:25,667
♪ To see you ♪

950
00:40:25,735 --> 00:40:28,637
We have high
expectations of you.

951
00:40:28,704 --> 00:40:30,972
You did a good job, but just
know that that's why I think

952
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,240
we're particularly hard on you.

953
00:40:32,308 --> 00:40:37,612
So Jordan knew, in his final audition,
he would have to be incredible.

954
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,149
♪ I'm so high, baby ♪

962
00:41:04,974 --> 00:41:05,740
Ah!

963
00:41:05,808 --> 00:41:08,410
Mr. dorsey.

964
00:41:08,477 --> 00:41:09,110
Get out of here.

965
00:41:09,178 --> 00:41:11,146
You, uh... get out of here.

966
00:41:11,214 --> 00:41:12,514
Yeah, yeah.

967
00:41:12,582 --> 00:41:15,984
So the question is, did
Jordan live up to the judges'

968
00:41:16,052 --> 00:41:17,085
expectations?

969
00:41:17,153 --> 00:41:21,456
The final judgment is very vital for
me, because I don't want to lose.

970
00:41:21,524 --> 00:41:22,691
Um, I'm in this to win.

971
00:41:22,758 --> 00:41:27,128
I'm confident, I'm aggressive,
I like to get things done in

972
00:41:27,196 --> 00:41:30,098
perfection, and I'm
trying to win this thing.

973
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:31,032
Hello.

974
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:32,434
Mr. dorsey, what's up?

975
00:41:32,501 --> 00:41:33,368
How's it going?

976
00:41:33,436 --> 00:41:34,202
Good. How are you?

977
00:41:34,270 --> 00:41:35,303
Great, I'm great.

978
00:41:35,371 --> 00:41:36,471
You look good.

979
00:41:36,539 --> 00:41:39,641
You know, Jordan, from the
beginning, you were a standout

980
00:41:39,709 --> 00:41:44,613
for me, and you have to know that I
fought for you the whole way through.

981
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,450
At Hollywood week, I heard
that maybe you had some little

982
00:41:48,517 --> 00:41:51,553
auditions of your own
during group rounds?

983
00:41:51,621 --> 00:41:52,454
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

984
00:41:52,521 --> 00:41:53,255
What was that about, dog?

985
00:41:53,322 --> 00:41:54,990
They were bringing them to me.

986
00:41:55,057 --> 00:41:56,825
Because you were the teacher?

987
00:41:56,892 --> 00:41:57,859
Right, basically.

988
00:41:57,927 --> 00:41:59,894
Why, 'cause you're the teacher?

989
00:41:59,962 --> 00:42:02,097
So they were going, you know,
getting other people, and they

990
00:42:02,164 --> 00:42:04,299
were coming to me, and, you
know, I didn't want to dis

991
00:42:04,367 --> 00:42:06,534
anybody on the spot, but I was
like, "it's not gonna work,"

992
00:42:06,602 --> 00:42:10,138
you know, 'cause we wanted
top quality in our group.

993
00:42:10,206 --> 00:42:12,674
But let me ask you something
honestly, straight up, man to man.

994
00:42:12,742 --> 00:42:16,278
Do you feel, though, that in that
instant, some people felt dissed?

995
00:42:16,345 --> 00:42:18,813
The way I may have said it may
have came off, you know, the

996
00:42:18,881 --> 00:42:21,416
wrong way to somebody, but I'm
trying to make sure that our

997
00:42:21,484 --> 00:42:23,718
group, you know, made
it through, and we did.

998
00:42:23,786 --> 00:42:24,519
Mm-hmm.

999
00:42:24,587 --> 00:42:32,427
It's funny because even... it was just...
There's 24 spots.

1000
00:42:32,495 --> 00:42:33,561
Yeah.

1001
00:42:33,629 --> 00:42:37,065
At the end of the day, and
that means that, you know, a

1002
00:42:37,133 --> 00:42:41,202
bunch of people are going home today,
and that's what makes it difficult.

1003
00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:44,239
But luckily for you,
that's not the case.

1004
00:42:46,642 --> 00:42:47,342
Yes!

1005
00:42:47,410 --> 00:42:48,143
Congratulations.

1006
00:42:48,210 --> 00:42:49,144
Yeah!

1007
00:42:49,211 --> 00:42:49,878
Good luck, man.

1008
00:42:49,945 --> 00:42:51,012
Thank you, thank you.

1009
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,648
Ooh!

1010
00:42:53,716 --> 00:42:58,753
And now, 16 of our top 24 have been
named, as Jordan dorsey gets through.

1011
00:42:58,821 --> 00:43:00,588
Whoo!

1012
00:43:01,791 --> 00:43:04,759
Congratulations, man.

1013
00:43:04,827 --> 00:43:05,760
Good job.

1014
00:43:05,828 --> 00:43:09,497
After the break, take nothing
for granted, as early judge

1015
00:43:09,565 --> 00:43:11,633
favorites come crashing down.

1016
00:43:11,701 --> 00:43:14,235
You didn't make it into
the top 24 this time.

1017
00:43:14,303 --> 00:43:19,908
Plus, Jacob, James, and
Casey sing for their lives.

1018
00:43:19,975 --> 00:43:21,209
It's been good.

1019
00:43:21,277 --> 00:43:25,980
Nobody gets this far
without singing good.

1020
00:43:33,535 --> 00:43:35,336
We're back on Idol.

1021
00:43:35,404 --> 00:43:38,806
Next stop for the final
judgment, for the walk which

1022
00:43:38,874 --> 00:43:40,274
will surely get the judges'

1023
00:43:40,342 --> 00:43:42,844
attention, is Lauren.

1024
00:43:42,911 --> 00:43:45,413
So...
That's an interesting choice.

1025
00:43:46,548 --> 00:43:47,148
Right?

1026
00:43:47,216 --> 00:43:49,017
That's got as much
personality as you do.

1027
00:43:49,084 --> 00:43:49,884
Yeah.

1028
00:43:49,952 --> 00:43:51,452
I like my boots.

1029
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:52,220
Yes.

1030
00:43:52,287 --> 00:43:54,355
They're Barbie cowgirl boots.

1031
00:43:54,423 --> 00:43:56,157
That's what everybody's
been calling me all day.

1032
00:43:56,225 --> 00:43:58,059
Tell me what's going
through your mind today.

1033
00:43:58,127 --> 00:43:58,826
I'm freaking out.

1034
00:43:58,894 --> 00:43:59,560
Are you freaking out?

1035
00:43:59,628 --> 00:44:00,395
I'm freaking out, mm-hmm.

1036
00:44:00,462 --> 00:44:01,329
Why?

1037
00:44:01,397 --> 00:44:05,333
Because people are coming out and not
making it that I knew would make it.

1038
00:44:05,401 --> 00:44:06,968
This is a nerve-racking day.

1039
00:44:07,036 --> 00:44:09,570
We're gonna send you out
there right now, okay?

1040
00:44:09,638 --> 00:44:12,006
Okay.

1041
00:44:12,074 --> 00:44:15,476
We first met Lauren in Nashville,
where she wowed the judges.

1042
00:44:15,544 --> 00:44:16,244
Whoo!

1043
00:44:16,311 --> 00:44:19,747
You've got real, natural,
God-given talent.

1044
00:44:19,815 --> 00:44:21,649
I think we've found
the one today.

1045
00:44:21,717 --> 00:44:25,553
In Hollywood, she continued to charm Mr.
Tyler and to sing

1046
00:44:25,621 --> 00:44:29,223
herself easily
through each round.

1047
00:44:29,224 --> 00:44:34,128
But in Las Vegas, things
took a turn for the worse...

1048
00:44:34,196 --> 00:44:40,535

Led to a shaky performance.

She tried to do it, but it was
just, like, not working for me.

1055
00:44:50,612 --> 00:44:55,116

Thank you.

1064
00:45:28,984 --> 00:45:38,493
Now she's about to find out if she's
done enough to make it in the top 24.

1065
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,061
Hey, Lauren alaina.

1066
00:45:41,930 --> 00:45:43,931
Hi.

1067
00:45:43,999 --> 00:45:45,299
Hi, sweetie.

1068
00:45:45,367 --> 00:45:46,234
How are you?

1069
00:45:46,301 --> 00:45:47,001
I'm okay.

1070
00:45:47,069 --> 00:45:48,569
Hello, dear, how are you?

1071
00:45:48,570 --> 00:45:49,804
What's going on, man?

1072
00:45:49,872 --> 00:45:50,538
What's this outfit?

1073
00:45:50,606 --> 00:45:51,572
Tell me about this outfit.

1074
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,406
I like this outfit.

1075
00:45:52,474 --> 00:45:54,509
Those pinboots, and
all the sparkles.

1076
00:45:54,576 --> 00:45:55,243
Wow, have a seat.

1077
00:45:55,310 --> 00:45:55,977
I like the dress.

1078
00:45:56,044 --> 00:45:57,512
Did they make that
special for you?

1079
00:45:57,579 --> 00:45:58,546
Yeah. Whoo!

1080
00:45:58,614 --> 00:45:59,280
Yeah, I can tell.

1081
00:45:59,348 --> 00:46:00,047
Did I break the chair?

1082
00:46:00,115 --> 00:46:01,149
No, you didn't.

1083
00:46:01,216 --> 00:46:01,849
God, no.

1084
00:46:01,917 --> 00:46:03,618
That would be so
embarrassing tonight.

1085
00:46:03,685 --> 00:46:06,320
What if I sat wn on it too
hard and it went whee!

1086
00:46:06,388 --> 00:46:08,189
No, we wouldn't let that happen.

1087
00:46:08,924 --> 00:46:10,491
So how you been doing?

1088
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:13,094
Um, I'm kind of freaking out.

1089
00:46:13,162 --> 00:46:13,861
Yeah?

1090
00:46:13,929 --> 00:46:15,997
Well, I'll tell you what, we
fell in love with you the first

1091
00:46:16,064 --> 00:46:18,533
time we heard your voice.

1092
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,037
But it's been a long,
crazy trip, huh?

1093
00:46:23,105 --> 00:46:24,272
Tough, tough journey.

1094
00:46:24,339 --> 00:46:27,775
You know, there was so many good... you
know, when they opened it up to 15.

1095
00:46:27,843 --> 00:46:31,512
And you were 15 when you first auditioned...
Now you're 16, right?

1096
00:46:31,580 --> 00:46:32,246
Yes.

1097
00:46:32,314 --> 00:46:33,414
Imagine that.

1098
00:46:33,482 --> 00:46:37,985
But when they opened it up, we got
so much amazing talent at that age.

1099
00:46:38,053 --> 00:46:39,887
And you know, and they're
still in the competition.

1100
00:46:39,955 --> 00:46:45,960
So it became such a tough thing
for us to figure out who was

1101
00:46:46,028 --> 00:46:49,530
gonna stay and who was gonna go.

1102
00:46:49,598 --> 00:46:54,535
I'm just not sure how you're
gonna be able to handle it.

1103
00:46:54,603 --> 00:46:55,636
Yeah.

1104
00:46:55,704 --> 00:46:58,406
In the big-time.

1105
00:46:58,473 --> 00:47:00,374
Since you're going
through, girl.

1106
00:47:01,944 --> 00:47:06,080
Congratulations, Lauren
alaina, you've made it!

1107
00:47:06,148 --> 00:47:07,181
You made it.

1108
00:47:07,249 --> 00:47:08,683
He's so mean, right?

1109
00:47:08,750 --> 00:47:10,318
Oh, no!

1110
00:47:10,385 --> 00:47:11,719
He's not really mean.

1111
00:47:11,787 --> 00:47:12,987
No, Randy's mean.

1112
00:47:13,055 --> 00:47:14,222
I'm not mean.

1113
00:47:16,225 --> 00:47:17,124
Whoo!

1114
00:47:17,192 --> 00:47:18,793
It was a really hard decision.

1115
00:47:18,860 --> 00:47:19,493
It was really tough.

1116
00:47:19,561 --> 00:47:20,761
But you made it easy.

1117
00:47:20,829 --> 00:47:22,930
I don't even wanna tell you
how good I think you are.

1118
00:47:22,998 --> 00:47:25,800
But you gotta keep it up and
you gotta do even better.

1119
00:47:25,867 --> 00:47:27,368
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.

1120
00:47:27,436 --> 00:47:28,069
No, don't.

1121
00:47:28,136 --> 00:47:29,136
Don't pass out.

1122
00:47:29,204 --> 00:47:30,504
Pass out out there.

1123
00:47:30,572 --> 00:47:32,139
Pass out out there.

1124
00:47:32,207 --> 00:47:35,142
Go out there and pass out.

1125
00:47:37,212 --> 00:47:42,183
So as part of our top 24, Lauren alaina
will be performing for America's votes.

1126
00:47:42,251 --> 00:47:44,285
She's so cute.

1127
00:47:44,353 --> 00:47:45,987
She's like Dolly parton.

1128
00:47:46,054 --> 00:47:49,290
And as she celebrates with her
family, stefano langone is

1129
00:47:49,358 --> 00:47:54,262
about to find out if he too will
be singing on the main stage.

1130
00:47:54,329 --> 00:47:59,533
In San Francisco, he showed us the huge
obstacles he's overcome to be here.

1131
00:47:59,601 --> 00:48:03,070
You know, they told me that I wouldn't
be able to walk right or be the same.

1132
00:48:03,138 --> 00:48:06,741
And I got on my feet in
less than four months.

1133
00:48:06,808 --> 00:48:11,245
And he passed through the hurdles of
Hollywood and Vegas mostly unscathed.

1134
00:48:11,313 --> 00:48:13,014
Stefano, you're amazing.

1135
00:48:13,081 --> 00:48:13,948
Thank you.

1136
00:48:15,017 --> 00:48:18,486
But in his final performance,
he took a risk with an original

1137
00:48:18,553 --> 00:48:23,658
composition that could determine if there
was a place for him in the top 24.

1138
00:48:23,725 --> 00:48:25,725
♪ Come home ♪

1139
00:48:30,165 --> 00:48:37,772

00:48:37,839 --> 00:48:39,573

1142
00:48:55,557 --> 00:48:56,924
I'm very anxious today.

1143
00:48:56,992 --> 00:48:58,326
Very anxious.

1144
00:48:58,393 --> 00:49:01,462
But I feel in my heart that I'm
here for a reason, and I'm

1145
00:49:01,530 --> 00:49:04,699
singing for a reason,
and that I can do it.

1146
00:49:04,766 --> 00:49:06,033
We'll see what happens.

1147
00:49:06,101 --> 00:49:07,735
Stefano, what's the deal, man?

1148
00:49:07,803 --> 00:49:08,769
How you guys doing?

1149
00:49:08,837 --> 00:49:09,570
How are you?

1150
00:49:09,638 --> 00:49:10,771
I'm great.

1151
00:49:10,839 --> 00:49:11,472
Yeah.

1152
00:49:11,540 --> 00:49:13,274
I'm great; Living another
day in the life.

1153
00:49:14,409 --> 00:49:15,343
You know? You know how it is.

1154
00:49:15,410 --> 00:49:16,110
Yeah.

1155
00:49:16,178 --> 00:49:17,445
You had some good moments.

1156
00:49:17,512 --> 00:49:19,914
You know, a lot of
people had good moments.

1157
00:49:19,981 --> 00:49:20,848
Everybody had good moments.

1158
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:22,216
Yeah, everybody... everybody did.

1159
00:49:22,284 --> 00:49:24,218
Everybody... you know what,
you're absolutely right.

1160
00:49:24,286 --> 00:49:29,423
And so you can imagine how hard
it was for us to choose who was

1161
00:49:29,491 --> 00:49:30,458
going to move on to the top 24.

1162
00:49:30,525 --> 00:49:32,493
I can't, but...

1163
00:49:32,561 --> 00:49:33,427
I can't.

1164
00:49:33,495 --> 00:49:34,462
I know that's right.

1165
00:49:34,529 --> 00:49:39,333
But you know, unfortunately, in
these days somebody has to go home.

1166
00:49:39,401 --> 00:49:42,236
And we hate it.

1167
00:49:42,304 --> 00:49:47,375
And at the end of the day, we
just really, really feel...

1168
00:49:47,442 --> 00:49:49,877
Like we'd love to have
you in our top 24.

1169
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,913
Welcome to the top 24.

1170
00:49:52,981 --> 00:49:55,716
Stefano!

1171
00:49:55,784 --> 00:49:57,385
I haven't slept in four days!

1172
00:49:58,887 --> 00:49:59,920
You can sleep tonight.

1173
00:49:59,988 --> 00:50:00,688
I can sleep tonight.

1174
00:50:00,756 --> 00:50:01,722
We haven't slept either, dog.

1175
00:50:01,790 --> 00:50:02,623
Trust me.

1176
00:50:02,691 --> 00:50:03,491
Whoo!

1177
00:50:03,558 --> 00:50:06,861
That's a talented
kid right there.

1178
00:50:06,928 --> 00:50:09,196
I'm gonna be on the live show!

1179
00:50:09,264 --> 00:50:10,765
Oh, my goodness gracious!

1180
00:50:10,832 --> 00:50:12,867
That's crazy!

1181
00:50:12,934 --> 00:50:15,236
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

1182
00:50:15,303 --> 00:50:17,805
There you go!

1183
00:50:17,873 --> 00:50:18,806
Done!

1184
00:50:18,874 --> 00:50:21,308
All right, give it
up for stefano.

1185
00:50:23,011 --> 00:50:28,849
The judges have chosen some
outstanding talent already.

1186
00:50:28,917 --> 00:50:32,953
But coming up, who heads to the
big stage, and who heads home?

1187
00:50:33,021 --> 00:50:36,023
You're not in our top 24.

1188
00:50:44,229 --> 00:50:47,165
Welcome back to the
final judgment.

1189
00:50:47,166 --> 00:50:53,938
It's just after 7:00 pm, and the tension
in the holding room is growing.

1190
00:50:53,939 --> 00:50:58,409
There are few spots left, and
they've been filling up fast.

1191
00:50:58,477 --> 00:51:02,180
And Jackie Wilson is hoping
there's one left for her.

1192
00:51:02,247 --> 00:51:04,749

favorite in Nashville.

Yo!

1197
00:51:12,391 --> 00:51:15,226
But when she delivered her
final performance, she fell

1198
00:51:15,294 --> 00:51:18,529

You know, I hope and pray for the best,
and hope that I'm still here tomorrow.

1205
00:51:39,017 --> 00:51:40,184
Hi, Jackie.

1206
00:51:40,252 --> 00:51:41,385
How are you, baby?

1207
00:51:41,453 --> 00:51:42,119
Good, how are you?

1208
00:51:42,187 --> 00:51:43,888
Good, you look great.

1209
00:51:43,956 --> 00:51:45,389
How you feeling?

1210
00:51:45,457 --> 00:51:46,857
I'm a little anxious.

1211
00:51:46,925 --> 00:51:47,959
How are y'all doing?

1212
00:51:48,026 --> 00:51:48,893
We're doing good.

1213
00:51:48,961 --> 00:51:52,396
You know, we've had to, like, really
analyze everything and really

1214
00:51:52,464 --> 00:51:53,698
make some tough decisions.

1215
00:51:53,765 --> 00:51:57,468
Unfortunately, and I think if
you look back with us, you'd

1216
00:51:57,536 --> 00:52:00,104
know that there was some moments
where we felt that you could've

1217
00:52:00,172 --> 00:52:03,107
really, really, like, blown
the roof off the place.

1218
00:52:03,175 --> 00:52:06,277
And you just didn't quite
get there all the way.

1219
00:52:06,345 --> 00:52:09,113
It's kinda like you started off
really strong out of the blocks,

1220
00:52:09,181 --> 00:52:13,751
and then it kinda fizzled
out toward the end.

1221
00:52:13,819 --> 00:52:18,256
And I hate to tell you, Jackie, you
didn't make it into the top 24 this time.

1222
00:52:18,323 --> 00:52:19,657
Yeah.

1223
00:52:19,725 --> 00:52:20,458
Really?

1224
00:52:20,525 --> 00:52:21,492
I'm so sorry, yeah.

1225
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:22,593
Why?

1226
00:52:22,661 --> 00:52:25,596
That consistency is everything
in a competition like this.

1227
00:52:25,664 --> 00:52:27,531
You started off
like, oh, my God.

1228
00:52:27,599 --> 00:52:28,232
Gangbusters.

1229
00:52:28,300 --> 00:52:32,837
But by the end there, I feel a bit
that you lost your confidence, really.

1230
00:52:32,904 --> 00:52:35,172
So there's no way to
change the minds, huh?

1231
00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:38,075
I wish we could change
our mind for everybody.

1232
00:52:38,143 --> 00:52:38,843
I wish we could.

1233
00:52:38,910 --> 00:52:39,510
I know.

1234
00:52:39,578 --> 00:52:40,177
Okay.

1235
00:52:40,245 --> 00:52:40,845
Thank you, Jackie.

1236
00:52:40,912 --> 00:52:41,646
It's great to meet you guys.

1237
00:52:41,713 --> 00:52:42,313
Nice to meet you.

1238
00:52:42,381 --> 00:52:43,347
Nice to meet you too.

1239
00:52:43,415 --> 00:52:45,415
Take care.

1240
00:52:50,088 --> 00:52:51,489
I don't agree with it.

1241
00:52:51,556 --> 00:52:52,590
I don't agree with it.

1242
00:52:52,658 --> 00:52:55,960
I think that I definitely deserve
for America to say yes or no.

1243
00:52:56,028 --> 00:52:58,863
But you know, it is what it is.

1244
00:52:58,930 --> 00:53:00,131
What have we got?

1245
00:53:00,198 --> 00:53:01,098
Nope.

1246
00:53:01,166 --> 00:53:02,166
No?

1247
00:53:02,234 --> 00:53:03,701
Nope.

1248
00:53:03,769 --> 00:53:07,605
As Jackie says good-bye to the
competition, Jacob lusk is

1249
00:53:07,673 --> 00:53:10,141
hoping to hear a
hello to the top 24.

1250
00:53:10,208 --> 00:53:11,609
Good luck, I hope you
make it through.

1251
00:53:11,677 --> 00:53:12,276
I hope so too, man.

1252
00:53:12,344 --> 00:53:12,943
All right, let's go.

1253
00:53:13,011 --> 00:53:13,644
Let's go!

1254
00:53:13,712 --> 00:53:14,345
Why wait?

1255
00:53:14,413 --> 00:53:15,112

00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:57,248
It's an amazing thought, to know
that, you know, this could be me.

1288
00:54:57,315 --> 00:54:58,916
I could be the next American
Idol; I really could.

00:55:03,789 --> 00:55:04,789
Hello.

1292
00:55:04,856 --> 00:55:05,589
Hi, Jacob.

1293
00:55:05,657 --> 00:55:06,590
Hello, Jacob. How are you?

1294
00:55:06,658 --> 00:55:07,358
I'm good, how are you?

1295
00:55:07,426 --> 00:55:08,726
How are you, sweet pea?

1296
00:55:08,794 --> 00:55:09,760
I'm good.

1297
00:55:09,828 --> 00:55:10,528
Good?

1298
00:55:10,595 --> 00:55:11,295
Good.

1299
00:55:11,363 --> 00:55:13,697
Well, listen, this has been
a tough journey for you.

1300
00:55:13,765 --> 00:55:17,735
Been a tough journey for us, getting... trying
to get down to this 24 today.

1301
00:55:17,803 --> 00:55:23,140
And I must say... your performance of God
bless the child I think is the single

1302
00:55:23,208 --> 00:55:26,410
best performance ever on Idol.

1303
00:55:26,478 --> 00:55:28,112
Ever! Ever!

1304
00:55:28,180 --> 00:55:29,480
I agree.

1305
00:55:29,548 --> 00:55:33,918
So we were all blown away.

1306
00:55:33,985 --> 00:55:40,024
And for that alone, my friend, cut
to the chase, we are happy... aah!

The decision that could
change James durbin's life.

1343
00:57:06,378 --> 00:57:09,513
I must admit, you know,
you really let me down.

1344
00:57:09,581 --> 00:57:11,715
They laid it all on the line.

1345
00:57:11,783 --> 00:57:14,818
And only a few coveted
spots remain.

1346
00:57:14,886 --> 00:57:18,556
Three guys left,
and one more spot.

1347
00:57:18,623 --> 00:57:20,691
And the three of you are
gonna go in together.

1348
00:57:20,759 --> 00:57:24,295
But who will sing for your vote?

1349
00:57:24,362 --> 00:57:30,467
The person going through
out of the three of you...

1350
00:57:38,690 --> 00:57:41,158
Welcome back to American Idol.

1351
00:57:41,226 --> 00:57:45,896
It is after 9:00 back here on the
final judgment episode of Idol.

1352
00:57:45,964 --> 00:57:50,434
And as you can see, the room is emptying
out, and the energy is much lower.

1353
00:57:50,501 --> 00:57:55,839
Not nearly as much enthusiasm and
excitement as earlier in the day.

1354
00:57:55,907 --> 00:57:57,674
Wow, what a day.

1355
00:57:57,742 --> 00:57:59,376
Holy crumb cakes.

1356
00:57:59,444 --> 00:58:03,614
And it had been an arduous
process for pia toscano too.

1357
00:58:03,681 --> 00:58:06,817
You get really tight with
these people, and just...

1358
00:58:06,884 --> 00:58:11,421
To see them go home,
I mean, it's tough.

1359
00:58:11,489 --> 00:58:15,192
It's been a long day,
and you never know.

1360
00:58:15,260 --> 00:58:18,562
You don't know
what's gonna happen.

1361
00:58:18,630 --> 00:58:21,665

1409
01:00:11,309 --> 01:00:13,043
Thank you so much.

1410
01:00:13,111 --> 01:00:15,912
Thank you, you have no idea
how much this means to me.

1411
01:00:15,980 --> 01:00:18,582
Thank you so, so much.

1412
01:00:18,649 --> 01:00:19,583
Congratulations.

1413
01:00:19,650 --> 01:00:20,517
Thank you.

1414
01:00:20,585 --> 01:00:21,618
You are such an inspiration.

1415
01:00:21,686 --> 01:00:22,319
Thank you.

1416
01:00:22,387 --> 01:00:23,987
You guys are so amazing.

1417
01:00:24,055 --> 01:00:24,654
You.

1418
01:00:24,722 --> 01:00:25,355
Thank you so much.

1419
01:00:25,423 --> 01:00:26,156
Thank you.

1420
01:00:26,224 --> 01:00:27,491
I cannot thank you guys enough.

1421
01:00:27,558 --> 01:00:31,728
And just like that, the 11th spot
for the girls is stolen away.

1422
01:00:31,796 --> 01:00:33,764
She's awesome.

1423
01:00:33,831 --> 01:00:35,031
Yes.

1424
01:00:35,099 --> 01:00:36,032
Congratulations.

1425
01:00:36,100 --> 01:00:37,601
She made it.

1426
01:00:38,336 --> 01:00:40,637
Only a few people left,
so everybody cheer.

1427
01:00:40,705 --> 01:00:41,638
Crew!

1428
01:00:43,474 --> 01:00:45,475
So relief for pia.

1429
01:00:45,543 --> 01:00:53,316
But James durbin was still
waiting for his verdict.

1430
01:00:53,384 --> 01:00:57,421
I was diagnosed with tourette's
syndrome and asperger's, which is a

1431
01:00:57,488 --> 01:00:59,856
high-functioning autism.

1432
01:00:59,924 --> 01:01:02,893
At school, people would tell
me "cut that out, stop that."

1433
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,528
I was just like, "I can't."

The group was kind of a mess.

1440
01:01:26,684 --> 01:01:30,921
I've started my journey throwing
my screams in, just like Adam

1441
01:01:30,988 --> 01:01:33,256
lambert, and it's like,
what else can I do?

1442
01:01:33,324 --> 01:01:35,091
They're just gonna
expect it, you know?

1443
01:01:35,159 --> 01:01:38,728
So when he sang for his life,
he needed to show he had the

Nice, nice.

1467
01:02:53,104 --> 01:02:53,970
He's like, "I did it!

1468
01:02:54,038 --> 01:02:55,205
I got up there."

1469
01:02:55,273 --> 01:02:56,506
Yeah.

1470
01:02:56,574 --> 01:02:58,975
That's the reason your
ears are unblocked.

1471
01:02:59,043 --> 01:03:01,011
That's not easy to do in a back
bend, that's not easy to...

1472
01:03:01,078 --> 01:03:02,579
that'll unblock
them right there.

1473
01:03:03,748 --> 01:03:04,748
Damn!

1474
01:03:04,815 --> 01:03:05,415
Yo.

1475
01:03:05,483 --> 01:03:06,082
Take that,

1476
01:03:06,150 --> 01:03:07,684
Tourette's, man,
I'll tell you what.

1477
01:03:07,752 --> 01:03:08,485
What?

1478
01:03:08,553 --> 01:03:09,519
I'll take an order of that.

1479
01:03:09,587 --> 01:03:11,655
I'll have what he's having.

1480
01:03:13,824 --> 01:03:16,526
There's not a moment that goes
by in this whole experience

1481
01:03:16,594 --> 01:03:18,528
when I'm not thinking
about Heidi and hunter.

1482
01:03:18,596 --> 01:03:21,731
This isn't just my change;
It's their change as well.

1483
01:03:21,799 --> 01:03:24,000
I want this so bad.

1484
01:03:24,068 --> 01:03:30,941
And this is my big, big
opportunity to do this.

1485
01:03:31,008 --> 01:03:32,075
Hey, hey.

1486
01:03:32,143 --> 01:03:32,842
Hi, sweetie.

1487
01:03:32,910 --> 01:03:33,510
Hi.

1488
01:03:33,578 --> 01:03:34,210
What's up, man?

1489
01:03:34,278 --> 01:03:35,111
Good to see you guys.

1490
01:03:35,179 --> 01:03:36,079
Good to see you.

1491
01:03:36,147 --> 01:03:36,780
How are you?

1492
01:03:36,847 --> 01:03:38,715
I'm fantastic,
couldn't be better.

1493
01:03:38,783 --> 01:03:40,317
You're just something else, man.

1494
01:03:40,384 --> 01:03:41,184
You're a lightning bolt, man.

1495
01:03:41,252 --> 01:03:43,086
You came on so, so strong.

1496
01:03:43,154 --> 01:03:44,020
Thank you.

1497
01:03:44,088 --> 01:03:45,388
You know, and blew us away.

1498
01:03:45,456 --> 01:03:49,893
And then, I must admit, you know, you
really let me down when you did that song

1499
01:03:49,961 --> 01:03:52,162
I don't wanna miss a thing.

1500
01:03:52,229 --> 01:03:55,665
You did it better than I do it and...

1501
01:03:55,733 --> 01:03:58,768
That's what let him down, yeah.

1502
01:03:58,836 --> 01:04:00,704
No, man, you nailed
it, you nailed it.

1503
01:04:00,771 --> 01:04:02,439
You know, I'm just gonna get
right to the point, you

1504
01:04:02,506 --> 01:04:04,407
know... you're so good, you know.

1505
01:04:04,475 --> 01:04:07,777
I don't think that you will
ever be selling pizza.

1506
01:04:07,845 --> 01:04:09,346
I think you're gonna go
on to great heights.

1507
01:04:09,413 --> 01:04:10,680
As high as you say, my brother.

1508
01:04:10,748 --> 01:04:11,481
Thank you.

1509
01:04:11,549 --> 01:04:13,516
So welcome to the 24.

1510
01:04:14,485 --> 01:04:15,352
James, you made it, baby.

1511
01:04:15,419 --> 01:04:19,589
You're in it!

1512
01:04:19,657 --> 01:04:21,358
Congratulations.

1513
01:04:21,425 --> 01:04:22,926
Go big or go home, right?

1514
01:04:22,994 --> 01:04:24,461
Look at you.

1515
01:04:25,696 --> 01:04:27,931
I didn't know you were
taller than me also.

1516
01:04:27,999 --> 01:04:28,865
Sup!

1517
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,800
Thank you guys so much.

1518
01:04:30,868 --> 01:04:31,968
Really, good luck.

1519
01:04:32,036 --> 01:04:39,175
We now turn James over to you.

1520
01:04:39,243 --> 01:04:42,112
After the break, one place
remains for the girls.

1521
01:04:42,179 --> 01:04:47,317
Will thia megia or Jessica
Cunningham sing for America's vote?

1522
01:04:47,385 --> 01:04:48,752
One of you guys has to go home.

1523
01:04:48,819 --> 01:04:53,289
Plus, will the eccentric
Casey Abrams make the cut?

1524
01:04:53,357 --> 01:04:54,491
Nice one.

1525
01:04:54,558 --> 01:04:59,562
And heartbreak for the guys as
the final spots are given away.

1526
01:04:59,630 --> 01:05:02,732
The person going through
out of the three of you...

1527
01:05:12,617 --> 01:05:14,918
Welcome back to the
final judgment.

1528
01:05:14,986 --> 01:05:18,822
It's 9:30 pm in Hollywood.

1529
01:05:18,890 --> 01:05:21,391
The holding room
is almost empty.

1530
01:05:21,459 --> 01:05:28,031
And the odds of making the top 24
have diminished significantly.

1531
01:05:28,099 --> 01:05:31,902
In fact, for the boys, there
are only two spots left.

1532
01:05:31,969 --> 01:05:35,739
Anxious and ready to find out
his fate is Casey Abrams.

1533
01:05:35,807 --> 01:05:37,407
I'm just ready for
a yes or a no.

1534
01:05:37,475 --> 01:05:39,743
I'm just happy to hug
the judges afterwards.

1535
01:05:39,811 --> 01:05:46,116
If I'm crying in happiness or in
agony, I get to hug Jennifer Lopez.

1536
01:05:46,184 --> 01:05:48,852
That's a plus, right?

1537
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,856
Casey blew the judges away with his
raw talent in our Austin auditions.

1538
01:05:55,393 --> 01:05:57,227
Yes!

1539
01:05:57,295 --> 01:05:58,362
Oh!

1540
01:05:58,429 --> 01:05:59,930

1548
01:06:19,117 --> 01:06:22,753
After showing how versatile he
can be, Casey took the stage

1549
01:06:22,820 --> 01:06:26,223
for the last time with
one more thing to prove.

1550
01:06:26,290 --> 01:06:30,427

Yeah.

You don't wanna know, man.

1579
01:07:58,749 --> 01:08:01,418
Yeah, I can see.

01:08:03,054 --> 01:08:04,621

So let me not bull you.

1585
01:08:14,398 --> 01:08:17,467
I mean, look, in the history of
this show... this is the tenth

1586
01:08:17,535 --> 01:08:24,241
season... I don't think we've ever had
a musician as talented as yourself.

1587
01:08:24,308 --> 01:08:27,911
When I hear you sing... and if
you're singing and playing, or

1588
01:08:27,979 --> 01:08:30,814
whatever it is... it's like
three people in one.

1589
01:08:30,882 --> 01:08:36,086
I mean, I don't think I've ever
seen in my life, on this show

1590
01:08:36,153 --> 01:08:39,422
definitely, somebody as talented
as you are in a musical aspect.

1591
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:44,261
So, dude...
Welcome to the top 24, Casey!

1592
01:08:44,328 --> 01:08:47,430
You rocked it, baby, you
rocked it, you rocked it!

1593
01:08:47,498 --> 01:08:48,798
Yes!

1594
01:08:48,866 --> 01:08:50,667
What'd I tell you
in the airport?

1595
01:08:50,735 --> 01:08:51,434
Whoo!

1596
01:08:51,502 --> 01:08:52,536
He knocked over the chair.

1597
01:08:52,603 --> 01:08:55,071
What'd I tell you
in the airport?

1598
01:08:55,139 --> 01:08:56,206
Let the bass rule.

1599
01:08:56,274 --> 01:08:58,942
Bass rules!

1600
01:08:59,010 --> 01:09:00,343
Oh, my God, I'm so happy.

1601
01:09:00,411 --> 01:09:01,077
Thank you.

1602
01:09:01,145 --> 01:09:01,778
What'd I tell you?

1603
01:09:01,846 --> 01:09:02,546
You told me, man.

1604
01:09:04,382 --> 01:09:06,182
I loved it, man, I loved it.

1605
01:09:06,250 --> 01:09:09,619
Listen, you're a wild rock star
musician, throwing furniture and stuff.

1606
01:09:09,687 --> 01:09:10,720
I'll get that, I'll get that.

1607
01:09:10,788 --> 01:09:11,555
I'll pay for it, I swear.

1608
01:09:11,622 --> 01:09:12,455
What's going on around here?

1609
01:09:12,523 --> 01:09:14,124
No trashing your hotel rooms.

1610
01:09:14,191 --> 01:09:16,393
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try.

1611
01:09:16,460 --> 01:09:17,093
Please. Please.

1612
01:09:17,161 --> 01:09:17,961
I love you guys.

1613
01:09:18,029 --> 01:09:24,534
Congratulations, dude.

1614
01:09:24,602 --> 01:09:27,037
Is somebody gonna
get that chair?

1615
01:09:27,104 --> 01:09:28,405
Oh, my!

1616
01:09:28,472 --> 01:09:30,807
So Casey has made his point.

1617
01:09:30,875 --> 01:09:33,577
And now he's a part
of the top 24.

1618
01:09:33,644 --> 01:09:35,045
You ready for this crazy ride?

1619
01:09:35,112 --> 01:09:35,912
No.

1620
01:09:37,682 --> 01:09:38,949
Oh, my God.

1621
01:09:39,016 --> 01:09:39,916
Thank you.

1622
01:09:39,984 --> 01:09:40,684
Welcome, man.

1623
01:09:40,751 --> 01:09:41,418
Top 24.

1624
01:09:41,485 --> 01:09:42,552
Whoo!

1625
01:09:42,620 --> 01:09:45,088
But reality has yet to set in.

1626
01:09:45,156 --> 01:09:47,090
Top 24?

1627
01:09:47,158 --> 01:09:51,127
It is real.

1628
01:09:51,195 --> 01:09:55,699
Back inside the holding room...
The last two girls are also

1629
01:09:55,766 --> 01:09:57,133
getting a reality check.

1630
01:09:57,201 --> 01:10:01,571
So we're down to the end of
the day, the end of the line.

1631
01:10:01,639 --> 01:10:04,708
The two of you left.

1632
01:10:04,775 --> 01:10:06,376
The two of you are gonna
go in there together.

1633
01:10:06,444 --> 01:10:10,513
I do not know the results, and I don't
know what they're gonna tell you...

1634
01:10:10,581 --> 01:10:12,248
But they wanna see both
of you at the same time.

1635
01:10:12,316 --> 01:10:13,316
Okay.

1636
01:10:13,384 --> 01:10:14,217
Okay?

1637
01:10:14,285 --> 01:10:17,354
You are the undertaker
right now, to me.

1638
01:10:17,421 --> 01:10:24,327
We're about to find out if Jessica's
premonition has any life to it.

1639
01:10:24,395 --> 01:10:28,565
We first met 15-year-old thia
megia back in Milwaukee.

And she was one of the first signs
that lowering the age had its upside.

1644
01:10:37,808 --> 01:10:41,544
Thia encountered her first
hiccup in the competition during

1645
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:42,679
the Beatles challenge.

1646
01:10:42,747 --> 01:10:44,514
Sing, damn it!

1647
01:10:44,582 --> 01:10:47,550
Bury her [Bleep] Onstage.

1648
01:10:47,618 --> 01:10:50,253
Tap-right-dance on her tongue.

1649
01:10:50,321 --> 01:10:52,055
Melinda and I were terrified.

1650
01:10:52,123 --> 01:10:56,326
In the end, I guess it turned out
to be such a great help for us.

1651
01:10:56,394 --> 01:11:00,363
Thia, everything you do
just seems very natural.

1652
01:11:00,431 --> 01:11:01,598
And I love that.

1653
01:11:01,666 --> 01:11:04,167
Thanks, guys.

1654
01:11:04,235 --> 01:11:11,207

01:11:59,056 --> 01:12:01,057
And this Idol veteran
auditioned in new Jersey.

1666

1667
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:05,462

1668
01:12:05,529 --> 01:12:07,230
Especially Steven.

1669
01:12:07,298 --> 01:12:07,897
You are so fine.

1670
01:12:07,965 --> 01:12:09,566
Your voice... oh, thank you.

1671
01:12:09,633 --> 01:12:10,967
You're the complete package.

1672
01:12:11,035 --> 01:12:13,670
Jessica used her experience
to get herself back in the

1673
01:12:13,738 --> 01:12:15,805

1678
01:12:25,416 --> 01:12:30,754
And as they continue down their paths,
this walk ends with a fork in the road.

1679
01:12:30,821 --> 01:12:31,955
Hi, girls.

1680
01:12:32,022 --> 01:12:35,425
One Idol journey continues,
and the other will end.

1681
01:12:35,493 --> 01:12:36,760
How you guys feeling?

1682
01:12:36,827 --> 01:12:37,761
Today's my birthday.

1683
01:12:37,828 --> 01:12:38,695
Is it your birthday, sweetie?

1684
01:12:38,763 --> 01:12:40,230
To make you feel
worse if you cut me.

1685
01:12:40,297 --> 01:12:41,464
Right.

1686
01:12:41,532 --> 01:12:42,499
Happy Birthday, baby.

1687
01:12:42,566 --> 01:12:43,233
Thank you.

1688
01:12:43,300 --> 01:12:43,933
Happy Birthday.

1689
01:12:44,001 --> 01:12:44,634
How old are you?

1690
01:12:44,702 --> 01:12:45,535
1/4 of a century.

1691
01:12:45,603 --> 01:12:46,202
Wow.

1692
01:12:46,270 --> 01:12:47,403
25, yeah.

1693
01:12:47,471 --> 01:12:48,438
That's a good time.

1694
01:12:48,506 --> 01:12:50,673
That's a good time.

1695
01:12:50,741 --> 01:12:54,778
But you know, we had a lot to take
into consideration for everybody.

1696
01:12:54,845 --> 01:12:57,680
We have our rocker... our
only rocker in the whole

1697
01:12:57,748 --> 01:13:01,417
competition, and we have one
of our 15-year-old phenoms.

1698
01:13:01,485 --> 01:13:05,388
I mean, were we right to open it up to
15-year-olds at this point, you know?

1699
01:13:05,456 --> 01:13:07,023
Are they ready for the pressure?

1700
01:13:07,091 --> 01:13:12,896
There's only one slot left for one girl,
and one of you guys has to go home.

1701
01:13:12,963 --> 01:13:13,563
Okay.

1702
01:13:13,631 --> 01:13:15,698
And you both have done great.

1703
01:13:15,766 --> 01:13:19,736
Both had great moments, both had
moments that were a little bit shaky.

1704
01:13:19,804 --> 01:13:20,937
Yes.

1705
01:13:21,005 --> 01:13:25,108
And remember, no matter what happens...
There's always next year.

1706
01:13:25,176 --> 01:13:29,379
You can always come back, 'cause you guys are both...
This is my seventh time.

1707
01:13:29,446 --> 01:13:30,547
This is your seventh time?

1708
01:13:30,614 --> 01:13:32,515
Yeah, I made it to
this part last year.

1709
01:13:32,583 --> 01:13:36,119
So I don't know if I can
handle it three more times.

1710
01:13:36,187 --> 01:13:37,954
You know what, I
understand how you feel.

1711
01:13:38,022 --> 01:13:39,422
I really do.

1712
01:13:39,490 --> 01:13:41,124
I really do.

1713
01:13:41,192 --> 01:13:42,792
Mm.

1714
01:13:47,765 --> 01:13:51,835
As tough as it is, we're gonna ask thia to stay...
And Jessica, it's the end of

1715
01:13:51,902 --> 01:13:53,036
the road for you this time.

1716
01:13:53,103 --> 01:13:55,071
I hope you do decide
to come back.

1717
01:13:55,139 --> 01:13:55,872
Thank you.

1718
01:13:55,940 --> 01:13:56,673
Congratulations, thia.

1719
01:13:56,740 --> 01:13:57,607
Thank you.

1720
01:13:57,675 --> 01:14:00,276
Congratulations.

1721
01:14:00,344 --> 01:14:03,413
Good luck, girl.

1722
01:14:03,480 --> 01:14:06,482
You'll do wonderful.

1723
01:14:06,550 --> 01:14:08,451
Getting cut on my
birthday is evil.

1724
01:14:08,519 --> 01:14:11,087
'Cause for the next few birthdays,
I'm gonna think, "oh,

1725
01:14:11,155 --> 01:14:12,722
crap, I got cut that day.

1726
01:14:12,790 --> 01:14:13,957
Awesome.

1727
01:14:14,024 --> 01:14:15,091
And I turned 25.

1728
01:14:15,159 --> 01:14:17,360
"Awesome."

1729
01:14:17,428 --> 01:14:20,330
So yeah, they
ruined my birthday.

1730
01:14:20,397 --> 01:14:22,565
You know what I have
to say to that?

1731
01:14:22,633 --> 01:14:24,467
Yeah.

1732
01:14:24,535 --> 01:14:25,802
You guys know you deserve it.

1733
01:14:25,870 --> 01:14:27,303
You can't see what it is.

1734
01:14:27,371 --> 01:14:29,405
Probably got American Idol
bubbles around these fingers

1735
01:14:29,473 --> 01:14:31,007
right now, but you
ruined my birthday.

1736
01:14:31,075 --> 01:14:33,176
I love you, but come on.

1737
01:14:33,244 --> 01:14:38,648
As Jessica just pointed out,
her Idol journey is now over.

1738
01:14:38,716 --> 01:14:40,884
I love you, mom.

1739
01:14:40,951 --> 01:14:44,654
Thank you for all
the inspiration.

1740
01:14:44,722 --> 01:14:50,927
As thia takes the last
spot for the girls.

1741
01:14:50,995 --> 01:14:56,833
So... when we return...
Three guys remain.

1742
01:14:56,901 --> 01:15:00,069
But only one will move on
to sing for your votes.

1743
01:15:00,137 --> 01:15:04,540
And two of you, it's the
end of this journey.

1744
01:15:04,608 --> 01:15:08,811
The person going through out
of the three of you is...

1745
01:15:08,879 --> 01:15:12,682
Find out who's going
home after the break.

1746
01:15:20,127 --> 01:15:23,563
We're back with you here on Idol,
after a very, very long day.

1747
01:15:23,630 --> 01:15:27,500
And look, the room empty except
for the three guys left.

1748
01:15:27,568 --> 01:15:30,436
And one more spot for the guys.

1749
01:15:30,504 --> 01:15:32,772
I hate to correct you, but
there's two more spots.

1750
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:34,707
There's one spot.

1751
01:15:34,775 --> 01:15:36,609
Are you sure?

1752
01:15:36,677 --> 01:15:37,977
Don't, no.

1753
01:15:38,045 --> 01:15:39,112
We were doing that all day.

1754
01:15:39,179 --> 01:15:39,879
Don't scare us like that.

1755
01:15:39,947 --> 01:15:40,646
There's one spot.

1756
01:15:40,714 --> 01:15:41,414
There's two spots.

1757
01:15:41,482 --> 01:15:42,215
There's one.

1758
01:15:42,282 --> 01:15:43,549
You got the math?

1759
01:15:43,617 --> 01:15:45,184
There's two spots left.

1760
01:15:45,252 --> 01:15:46,119
There's one spot.

1761
01:15:46,186 --> 01:15:48,488
Two spots.

1762
01:15:48,555 --> 01:15:50,690
Brett... I promise you.

1763
01:15:50,758 --> 01:15:53,926
And the three of you are
gonna go in together.

1764
01:15:53,994 --> 01:15:54,794
Oh, my goodness.

1765
01:15:54,862 --> 01:15:55,461
Okay?

1766
01:15:55,529 --> 01:15:56,796
All right.

1767
01:15:56,864 --> 01:15:57,697
Good luck.

1768
01:15:57,765 --> 01:15:58,898
Thanks.

1769
01:15:58,966 --> 01:16:02,001
It's time for the
long, dreaded walk.

1770
01:16:02,069 --> 01:16:04,170
Three guys, one spot.

1771
01:16:04,238 --> 01:16:06,038
But who will it go to?

1772
01:16:06,106 --> 01:16:09,909
We met jaycee badeaux and Brett
loewenstern in new Orleans,

1773
01:16:09,977 --> 01:16:13,746
where they both charmed the judges
for that golden ticket to Hollywood.

1774
01:16:13,814 --> 01:16:16,215
You are so sweet and so cute!

1775
01:16:16,283 --> 01:16:18,317
Yes!

1776
01:16:18,385 --> 01:16:20,086
Hollywood!

1777
01:16:20,154 --> 01:16:22,855
After jaycee found himself
stranded on group day...

1778
01:16:22,923 --> 01:16:26,993
They decided that they didn't want me
in it anymore, so... I don't know.

1779
01:16:27,060 --> 01:16:29,429
Brett was quick to
welcome him into his.

1780
01:16:29,496 --> 01:16:30,129
Nice to meet you.

1781
01:16:30,197 --> 01:16:31,664
We're really happy to have you.

1782
01:16:31,732 --> 01:16:35,701
And with all the emotion in making it through...
Jaycee, you got some fans out

1783
01:16:35,769 --> 01:16:38,204
there, dude.

1784
01:16:38,272 --> 01:16:40,506
The two have been
buddies ever since.

1785
01:16:40,574 --> 01:16:44,811
But was jaycee's final performance
good enough to pass him through?

1815
01:18:07,060 --> 01:18:11,230
Colton Dixon turned up with his sister

Hi.

Good.

1839
01:19:07,454 --> 01:19:08,087
Hey, jaycee.

Hi, guys.

01:19:12,159 --> 01:19:13,326
What's going on, man?

1845
01:19:13,393 --> 01:19:15,194
How you guys doing?

1846
01:19:15,262 --> 01:19:16,529
Freaking out.

1847
01:19:16,597 --> 01:19:18,497
I'm pretty nervous,
I'm not gonna lie.

1848
01:19:18,565 --> 01:19:19,832
The last three of the day.

1849
01:19:19,900 --> 01:19:21,067
The last three.

1850
01:19:21,134 --> 01:19:21,801
Yeah.

1851
01:19:21,868 --> 01:19:24,937
It's been a tough, tough,
crazy day for us as well.

1852
01:19:25,005 --> 01:19:29,141
This is probably the toughest
of these we've ever done.

1853
01:19:29,209 --> 01:19:30,443
Look at them.

1854
01:19:30,510 --> 01:19:31,510
Look at these three here.

1855
01:19:31,578 --> 01:19:33,045
They're killing me already.

1856
01:19:33,113 --> 01:19:34,380
I'm looking at these faces.

1857
01:19:34,448 --> 01:19:37,283
You're all so talented,
and spial, and unique.

1858
01:19:37,351 --> 01:19:41,387
So young, and...
Young and beautiful.

1859
01:19:41,455 --> 01:19:44,557
All of you, in your own way.

1860
01:19:44,625 --> 01:19:49,629
Jaycee, man, I know you had
a hard time, you know.

1861
01:19:49,696 --> 01:19:52,298
And your story, you know, about
how you were brought up.

1862
01:19:52,366 --> 01:19:54,233
Touched a note with me.

1863
01:19:54,301 --> 01:19:56,302
And you're just crazy good.

1864
01:19:56,370 --> 01:19:57,603
Thank you.

1865
01:19:57,671 --> 01:19:59,438
So it's really hard for us.

1866
01:19:59,506 --> 01:20:02,775
And you guys are all so young
that you can come back as

1867
01:20:02,843 --> 01:20:05,911
many times as you want and
probably do really, really well.

1868
01:20:05,979 --> 01:20:09,048
And we believe that
about each one of you.

1869
01:20:09,116 --> 01:20:14,887
So we hope that happens.

1870
01:20:14,955 --> 01:20:28,000
So... the person going through out
of the three of you... is Brett.

1871
01:20:29,302 --> 01:20:32,471
Congratulations, Brett.

1872
01:20:32,539 --> 01:20:35,574
Colton and jaycee, really sorry.

1873
01:20:35,642 --> 01:20:39,111
Love you guys, man.

1874
01:20:39,179 --> 01:20:45,217
This has been the toughest...
Colton, I hope both you and

1875
01:20:45,285 --> 01:20:47,987
jaycee please come back.

1876
01:20:48,055 --> 01:20:49,388
Jaycee... please come back.

1877
01:20:49,456 --> 01:20:51,991
Jaycee, my Louisiana brother.

1878
01:20:54,828 --> 01:20:56,262
It's a humbling moment.

1879
01:20:56,329 --> 01:21:00,900
Brett is in, and we say good-bye to
Colton Dixon and jaycee badeaux.

1880
01:21:00,967 --> 01:21:02,967
Oh, sweetie!

1881
01:21:19,853 --> 01:21:22,755
Listen, I told you you
have magic in that voice.

1882
01:21:22,823 --> 01:21:23,489
Thank you.

1883
01:21:23,557 --> 01:21:25,191
And you know I believe that.

1884
01:21:25,258 --> 01:21:26,859
See what happens, okay?

1885
01:21:26,927 --> 01:21:28,627
Thank you.

1886
01:21:28,695 --> 01:21:36,068
The guys head back to the holding
room to deliver the bittersweet news.

1887
01:21:36,136 --> 01:21:38,537
Did you make it?

1888
01:21:38,605 --> 01:21:40,272
Congratulations.

1889
01:21:40,340 --> 01:21:46,278
And as we say good-bye to jaycee and
Colton, Brett has one last thing to add.

1890
01:21:46,346 --> 01:21:50,116
It doesn't matter out of all three who
made it because we're all shining stars.

1891
01:21:50,951 --> 01:21:51,650
I'm serious.

1892
01:21:51,718 --> 01:21:53,786
To be in the top 40, out of
hundreds and thousands of

1893
01:21:53,854 --> 01:21:56,489
people, we gotta give ourselves
a round of applause.

1894
01:21:57,924 --> 01:21:58,858
Hey, guys.

1895
01:21:58,925 --> 01:22:00,025
Good luck to you, Colton.

1896
01:22:00,093 --> 01:22:01,427
We'll see you soon.

1897
01:22:01,495 --> 01:22:04,363
Jaycee, good luck, go
get 'em, all right?

1898
01:22:04,431 --> 01:22:05,765
Thanks, guys.

1899
01:22:05,832 --> 01:22:09,068
And that is the final judgment.

1900
01:22:09,136 --> 01:22:12,471
We'll see you next
time on American Idol.

1901
