- There's no place like it on earth.
- Welcome to new Orleans!

14
00:01:16,872 --> 00:01:22,905
And we're here to unearth the talent
deep down in this celebrated music town.

15
00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:31,528
65,000 strong filled the banks of the
Mississippi, and their Crescent city had

16
00:01:31,683 --> 00:01:33,183
but one thing on its mind.

17
00:01:33,216 --> 00:01:35,182
Laissez les bon temps roulet!

18
00:01:37,622 --> 00:01:40,377
By the time the judges arrived,
the atmosphere had reached

19
00:01:40,378 --> 00:01:41,834
mardi gras intensity.

20
00:01:44,474 --> 00:01:45,783
We gonna pass a good time.

21
00:01:45,784 --> 00:01:46,493
Yes, sir.

22
00:01:48,138 --> 00:01:50,535
I love this town.
This is like my home turf, dude.

23
00:01:50,592 --> 00:01:53,134
Like, you know, they can't
disappoint the dog, can they?

24
00:01:53,135 --> 00:01:53,976
No.

25
00:01:55,841 --> 00:01:58,108
Randy told me he's gonna
be extra tough today.

26
00:01:58,109 --> 00:01:59,900
You know, he's not gonna
send anybody through.

27
00:01:59,967 --> 00:02:00,789
But I'm gonna help.

28
00:02:00,790 --> 00:02:01,760
Don't worry.

29
00:02:02,417 --> 00:02:03,934
You know what they say
about a little hat?

30
00:02:05,378 --> 00:02:06,954
It's good for a little head.

31
00:02:07,576 --> 00:02:12,062
Last time we were here in new
Orleans, things didn't go so well.

32
00:02:12,145 --> 00:02:17,354
The motto here in new Orleans,
"laissez les 'bom' 'tom' roulet."

33
00:02:17,763 --> 00:02:20,560
"Laissez les..." it is hard to
memorize a language you don't speak.

34
00:02:21,027 --> 00:02:22,903
"Laissez..." What the [Bleep] Is it?

35
00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:24,655
"Lai"... hola, ¿como esta?

36
00:02:24,832 --> 00:02:25,411
Muy bien, gracias.

37
00:02:25,412 --> 00:02:27,297
¿Y tu?
If you don't use this one...

38
00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:30,525
I'm gonna come laissez
les faire your ass.

39
00:02:31,149 --> 00:02:35,290
This time, however, I guarantee
we will let the good times roll.

40
00:02:35,291 --> 00:02:39,722
While I head down to find the local
French tutor...Welcome to new Orleans!

41
00:02:39,723 --> 00:02:40,485
No.

42
00:02:40,506 --> 00:02:43,082
The judges were ready to
start their school day.

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,278
Hey, we gotta change the chair.

44
00:02:46,051 --> 00:02:46,823
What happened?

45
00:02:46,824 --> 00:02:49,881
Well, 'cause it's... look at this.
Why are you guys always giving him the bad chair?

46
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:52,390
Yeah, bring in the
first contestant.

47
00:02:52,391 --> 00:02:52,911
Saboteurs!

48
00:02:52,912 --> 00:02:54,706
Saboteurs!

49
00:02:54,707 --> 00:02:57,547
The judges had no simple
task here in the big easy.

50
00:02:57,548 --> 00:03:02,347
But our first contestant in the room
came prepared with his own lesson plan.

51
00:03:04,272 --> 00:03:05,707
My name is Jordan dorsey.

52
00:03:05,708 --> 00:03:08,548
I'm 21 years old, and I'm
from laplace, Louisiana.

53
00:03:09,897 --> 00:03:13,214
I'm a musician, and I teach
piano and vocal lessons.

54
00:03:13,332 --> 00:03:14,532
Hi, k.T.

55
00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:16,891
Hey, Jordan.
I'm a very stern teacher.

56
00:03:16,892 --> 00:03:18,435
I'm a very hard teacher.

57
00:03:18,436 --> 00:03:21,476
Left-hand measure, left-hand
measure, left-hand, left-hand.

58
00:03:21,477 --> 00:03:25,325
I expect you to go home and
not practice one time.

59
00:03:25,326 --> 00:03:28,315
I expect you to practice
four or five times.

60
00:03:28,325 --> 00:03:32,777
I think he's an excellent teacher, not
a great teacher, an excellent teacher.

61
00:03:32,778 --> 00:03:33,098
Thank you.

62
00:03:33,099 --> 00:03:34,133
High five!

63
00:03:34,553 --> 00:03:37,162
All right.
I wanna show my students that

64
00:03:37,452 --> 00:03:42,543
the more work you put in, the harder
you strive, you can be successful.

65
00:03:42,544 --> 00:03:46,806
And I wanna show them that I'm gonna
be the next American idol. Hello.

66
00:03:46,807 --> 00:03:47,678
Hi.

67
00:03:47,679 --> 00:03:48,550
How are you?

68
00:03:48,551 --> 00:03:49,463
What's your name, dog?

69
00:03:49,464 --> 00:03:51,963
I'm Jordan dorsey, and I'm
from laplace, Louisiana.

70
00:03:51,964 --> 00:03:54,602
Yeah, you ready to get some
of this season ten, dog?

71
00:03:54,603 --> 00:03:55,387
I'm ready.

72
00:03:55,388 --> 00:03:56,434
I'm definitely ready.

73
00:03:56,435 --> 00:03:57,947
So how old are you, man?

74
00:03:57,948 --> 00:03:58,918
I'm 21.

75
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,001
So you were in college,
you out of college?

76
00:04:01,002 --> 00:04:01,494
What's up?

77
00:04:01,495 --> 00:04:02,929
I'm not in school, actually.

78
00:04:02,930 --> 00:04:06,014
I'm actually a musician...
a full-time musician.

79
00:04:06,015 --> 00:04:12,011
I also help with vocal and piano in
my community, so... so you play?

80
00:04:12,012 --> 00:04:12,602
Yeah.

81
00:04:12,603 --> 00:04:13,281
Piano?

82
00:04:13,282 --> 00:04:13,775
Mm-hmm.

83
00:04:13,776 --> 00:04:16,656
So, man, you gonna be in
tune, I know it, right?

84
00:04:16,657 --> 00:04:18,477
You know I gotta do it.

85
00:04:18,478 --> 00:04:19,535
So who are you with today?

86
00:04:19,536 --> 00:04:20,525
Mom...

87
00:04:21,098 --> 00:04:23,074
And you're with... so
you're with your son?

88
00:04:23,075 --> 00:04:23,413
Yeah.

89
00:04:23,804 --> 00:04:24,435
Okay.

90
00:04:24,641 --> 00:04:25,569
You're with your son.

91
00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:27,609
You're here with your... you're
here with your mom?

92
00:04:27,610 --> 00:04:28,239
Yes, my mama.

93
00:04:28,357 --> 00:04:29,131
There you go.

94
00:04:29,525 --> 00:04:30,658
She told me about you.

95
00:04:31,251 --> 00:04:31,865
What'd she say?

96
00:04:31,995 --> 00:04:32,660
"Mom."

97
00:04:34,729 --> 00:04:36,777
You look tall on television.

98
00:04:37,507 --> 00:04:39,270
Mm, you are short.

99
00:04:39,271 --> 00:04:39,729
All right, do it.

100
00:04:39,730 --> 00:04:40,563
What you singing, baby?

101
00:04:40,564 --> 00:04:41,834

130
00:05:54,548 --> 00:05:55,716
It was the warmth of his voice.

131
00:05:55,717 --> 00:05:57,717
Yeah, yeah, thanks, man.

132
00:05:57,718 --> 00:05:59,030
We should not even comment.

133
00:05:59,031 --> 00:06:01,130
We should just go yes or no.

134
00:06:01,131 --> 00:06:04,834
One, two, three... Yes!
You're going to Hollywood!

135

140
00:06:16,102 --> 00:06:17,680
That's what's
supposed to happen.

141
00:06:17,681 --> 00:06:19,022
That's how you do an audition.

142
00:06:19,023 --> 00:06:20,579
Oh, my goodness.

143
00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:22,146
Artist all over the place.

144
00:06:22,147 --> 00:06:24,361
He said, "change it up.."
And kept on the beat.

145
00:06:24,589 --> 00:06:25,399
Change it up.

146
00:06:25,710 --> 00:06:27,691
Going to Hollywood!

147
00:06:29,401 --> 00:06:32,512
I just feel so good right

Louisiana is just beginning to simmer.

Double helping of "ooh, yeah."

Most emotional...
When you sang, I felt it.

160
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:10,347
It brought tears to my eyes.
Wow.

161
00:07:10,348 --> 00:07:13,284
And most revealing idol moments
we've seen in a decade.

Welcome back to gator country.

165
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:31,324
Along the mighty Mississippi,

166
00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:35,760
you can find the slow and
sticky Louisiana swamps.

Not new Orleans like y'all
think, it's "n'awlins."

174
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,232
Okay, n'awlins, got it.

175
00:07:50,277 --> 00:07:54,594

But all's not lost
in the swamps.

201
00:08:46,572 --> 00:08:50,957
Sarah sellers has come peddling
more than just her voice.

202
00:08:51,758 --> 00:08:52,832
Come on in.

203
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,473
This room is interesting.

204
00:08:54,474 --> 00:08:56,946
This is a pretty crazy room
today here in new Orleans.

205
00:08:56,947 --> 00:08:59,338
Well, that's what makes
your job fun, right?

206
00:08:59,625 --> 00:09:03,838
Yes, Sarah. If it's not interesting...
Where did you get those lips?

207
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:09,106
You know, I really don't know, because
nobody in my family has large lips.

208
00:09:09,107 --> 00:09:10,138
Wow.

209
00:09:12,455 --> 00:09:14,161
Steven, are you
part of her family?

210
00:09:14,162 --> 00:09:14,987
Maybe.

211
00:09:14,988 --> 00:09:16,914
D'oh!

Never know.

213
00:09:18,884 --> 00:09:23,159
So tell us about yourself, Sarah.
Let's see, I'm a marketing analyst by day.

214
00:09:23,228 --> 00:09:27,583

Hopefully Hollywood.

234
00:10:22,164 --> 00:10:25,423
You had me sold from the
second you laid eyes on me.

235
00:10:25,424 --> 00:10:26,724
Oh, okay, great.

236
00:10:28,085 --> 00:10:28,737
What was that?

237
00:10:29,077 --> 00:10:29,733
What?

238
00:10:30,391 --> 00:10:31,608
You'll get it later.

239
00:10:31,609 --> 00:10:32,538
What?

240
00:10:32,539 --> 00:10:34,165
What is going on in here?

241
00:10:34,578 --> 00:10:36,498
Maybe he likes the glasses?

242
00:10:36,499 --> 00:10:37,094
Oh, man.

243
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:40,936
I love your glasses, your smile,
your attitude, your voice mostly.

244
00:10:40,937 --> 00:10:42,683
I really liked your voice.

245
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:43,071
Thank you.

246
00:10:43,072 --> 00:10:44,288
Yeah. Awesome.

247
00:10:44,289 --> 00:10:45,919
I like your voice too, man.

248
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,606
Thank you.

249
00:10:46,607 --> 00:10:47,874
I say yes.

250
00:10:48,691 --> 00:10:51,864
One of the best we've heard, I
think... a really beautiful voice.

251
00:10:51,865 --> 00:10:52,775
Awesome, thank you.

252
00:10:52,776 --> 00:10:53,819
I say yes too.

253
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,186
So Jennifer, what does that
mean for this young girl?

254
00:10:56,187 --> 00:10:58,108
It means you're
going to Hollywood.

255
00:10:58,109 --> 00:10:59,942
Whoo!

256
00:11:00,405 --> 00:11:02,898
Guys, thank you. You...
You made my year.

257
00:11:02,899 --> 00:11:04,368
Hollywood's through that way.

258
00:11:04,369 --> 00:11:04,892
Thank you.

259
00:11:04,893 --> 00:11:05,642
I'll go this way.

260
00:11:06,049 --> 00:11:07,992
So from the judges' lips...

261
00:11:08,252 --> 00:11:09,454
So good.

262
00:11:09,455 --> 00:11:10,351
So good.

263
00:11:10,352 --> 00:11:12,818
To her ears...

264
00:11:12,819 --> 00:11:13,559
Oh, my God!

265
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,594
Sarah's on her way to Hollywood.

266
00:11:16,525 --> 00:11:18,959
Back in the holding room,
the party continued...

267
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,292
Especially for this guy.

268
00:11:22,293 --> 00:11:24,930
Govany! Whoo!

269
00:11:24,931 --> 00:11:26,122
My name is govany boreto.

270
00:11:26,123 --> 00:11:27,753
I'm 23 years old.

271
00:11:27,754 --> 00:11:30,883
I'm from Harvey, Louisiana,
and I'm a ship builder.

272
00:11:31,289 --> 00:11:34,078
My mother and my father... they
were both born in Cuba.

273
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:35,927
They met here, and,
of course, here I am.

274
00:11:35,928 --> 00:11:37,958
I was the first generation to be
born here in the United States.

275
00:11:38,203 --> 00:11:39,935
Govany! Govany!

276
00:11:39,936 --> 00:11:42,217
Today I'm just gonna bring my
flavor, just myself, you know?

277
00:11:42,218 --> 00:11:47,271
And I'm gonna try to, you know, show Jennifer...
Beautiful Jennifer, oh, God.

278
00:11:51,181 --> 00:11:51,981
She's gorgeous.

279
00:11:51,982 --> 00:11:53,272
She was great before.

280
00:11:53,273 --> 00:11:57,902
But now she's a goddess in my eyes after
she married my idol, Marc Anthony.

281
00:11:57,903 --> 00:12:01,021
That guy is the best on earth,
I'm sorry, hands down.

282
00:12:01,323 --> 00:12:03,968
Couple of guys from the
shipyard, they said, "look,

283
00:12:03,969 --> 00:12:05,262
I'll bet you a million bucks
you won't take that shirt off

284
00:12:05,263 --> 00:12:06,691
"in front of Jennifer Lopez."

285
00:12:06,692 --> 00:12:07,616
So guess what.

286
00:12:07,617 --> 00:12:10,202
Jennifer Lopez, you
better look out.

287
00:12:10,203 --> 00:12:12,157
You're gonna see some... you're
gonna see some abs.

288
00:12:13,303 --> 00:12:14,147
How are you?

289
00:12:14,148 --> 00:12:14,968
Fantastic.

290
00:12:14,969 --> 00:12:15,681
Fantastic?

291
00:12:15,682 --> 00:12:16,605
Yes, ma'am.

292
00:12:16,606 --> 00:12:17,331
What are you gonna sing?

293
00:12:17,332 --> 00:12:20,702
I'm gonna sing Luis Miguel,

294
00:12:20,703 --> 00:12:21,400

303
00:12:51,442 --> 00:12:55,110

308
00:13:04,929 --> 00:13:08,386

I've been watching you since...

309
00:13:10,701 --> 00:13:13,190
And you're a goddess in my eyes.

310
00:13:13,191 --> 00:13:15,552
I am just excited to be here,
so I just wanted to say thank

311
00:13:15,553 --> 00:13:18,226
you so much for being who you are, and
you're an inspiration to all of us.

312
00:13:18,227 --> 00:13:19,712
Thank you. Thank you.

313
00:13:19,713 --> 00:13:20,721
Yeah, we appreciate that.

314
00:13:20,722 --> 00:13:21,403

315
00:13:22,598 --> 00:13:24,971
I'm just... I'm just
helping out, you know.

316
00:13:27,512 --> 00:13:30,779
You have, wow, a
very powerful voice.

317
00:13:30,780 --> 00:13:34,342
When you get to a whisper, it's
beautiful, just as beautiful

318
00:13:34,343 --> 00:13:38,880
as when you hit the highest, loudest
belting note that you can do.

319
00:13:38,881 --> 00:13:41,704
I really feel like
you have the talent.

320
00:13:41,705 --> 00:13:42,503
Thank you.

321
00:13:42,504 --> 00:13:46,398
For my melodic sensibility,
it was very delicious.

322
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:48,183
I really liked your voice.

323
00:13:48,184 --> 00:13:48,947
Thank you.

324
00:13:48,948 --> 00:13:49,913
So shall we vote?

325
00:13:49,914 --> 00:13:51,109
Yes, we shall.

326
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:52,003
Jennifer?

327
00:13:52,004 --> 00:13:53,638
It's a big "yes" from me.

328
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:54,485
I liked you very much.

329
00:13:54,486 --> 00:13:54,831
Steven?

330
00:13:54,832 --> 00:13:55,706
Big "yes."

331
00:13:57,078 --> 00:13:58,175
Giant "yes" from me.

332
00:13:58,181 --> 00:13:59,533
Welcome to Hollywood, dog.

333
00:14:01,599 --> 00:14:02,209
Boom!

334
00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:02,668
Boo-yah!

335
00:14:02,669 --> 00:14:07,050
Before I go, if you don't mind, I'm
gonna rip this off immediately.

336
00:14:07,051 --> 00:14:07,950
I got to.

337
00:14:07,951 --> 00:14:08,695
I gotta do it.

338
00:14:08,696 --> 00:14:09,959
So this is for you, Jennifer.

339
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,391
I'm sorry, Marc.

340
00:14:10,392 --> 00:14:11,255
I love you, dude.

341
00:14:11,256 --> 00:14:12,415
You're the bomb.

342
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:14,321
You want me to do
it with you, dude?

343
00:14:14,322 --> 00:14:15,149
Let's do it, dude.

344
00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:15,480
Let's do it.

345
00:14:15,481 --> 00:14:17,154
Everybody!

346
00:14:17,155 --> 00:14:19,024
Steven, should we
do it with him?

347
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:22,966
Wait, just let him do his thing!
Yeah, here we go.

348
00:14:22,967 --> 00:14:23,614
Here we go.

349
00:14:23,615 --> 00:14:24,325
Let's go.

350
00:14:24,326 --> 00:14:25,352
Let's do it.

351
00:14:25,353 --> 00:14:25,881
You ready?

352
00:14:25,882 --> 00:14:28,418
You can't... you couldn't
just let me have my show.

353
00:14:28,419 --> 00:14:29,303
Steven, are you ready?

354
00:14:29,304 --> 00:14:30,390
Let's go, baby.

355
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:31,005
Are we ready?

356
00:14:31,851 --> 00:14:32,808
Are we ready for this?

357
00:14:32,809 --> 00:14:35,616
Ah, whoa!

358
00:14:37,038 --> 00:14:39,701
Oh!

359
00:14:39,736 --> 00:14:41,414
Awesome.

360
00:14:41,415 --> 00:14:42,522
Yo, all right, man.

361
00:14:42,523 --> 00:14:44,478
Look, we all look the same.

362
00:14:44,479 --> 00:14:45,280
It's crazy.

363
00:14:51,371 --> 00:14:53,670
What the heck just
happened in here?

364
00:14:54,945 --> 00:14:57,725
You knew this was gonna happen when
you got people like us, right?

365
00:14:57,726 --> 00:14:58,439
Okay.

366
00:14:58,490 --> 00:15:01,956
Word is spreading that you got Steven
Tyler to take his clothes off.

367
00:15:01,957 --> 00:15:04,993
Steve Tyler and Randy.

368
00:15:04,994 --> 00:15:07,559
But of all the people in there,
you got Randy and Steven

369
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,248
to take their clothes off?

370
00:15:08,749 --> 00:15:10,297
I don't know... I'm just asking.

371
00:15:10,298 --> 00:15:11,517
I was trying!

372
00:15:11,518 --> 00:15:12,473
I was trying!

373
00:15:12,474 --> 00:15:13,923
I was trying, bro.

374
00:15:14,499 --> 00:15:14,773
Come on!

375
00:15:14,774 --> 00:15:15,978
It didn't work out that way.

376
00:15:15,979 --> 00:15:16,848
Help a brother out.

377
00:15:24,837 --> 00:15:25,834
See you in Hollywood, baby.

378
00:15:25,835 --> 00:15:26,379
Mwah!

379
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:27,151
I love you, Jenny.

380
00:15:27,152 --> 00:15:27,668
Mwah!

381
00:15:27,971 --> 00:15:29,065
Who dat, baby?

382
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:30,181
Hollywood, baby.

383
00:15:30,264 --> 00:15:31,625
Hollywood, baby.

384
00:15:37,650 --> 00:15:38,876
When we return...

385
00:15:39,164 --> 00:15:42,749
Local boy Randy gets a blast from the past.
Do you remember me?

386
00:15:42,815 --> 00:15:43,896
Did you ever paddle his ass?

387
00:15:44,471 --> 00:15:45,263
What is this show?

388
00:15:45,571 --> 00:15:50,349
The judges get even more chills...
Two goose pimples, and it's still morning.

389
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:54,602
As mardi gras in new
Orleans continues.

390
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:10,057
American idol is
back in Louisiana.

391
00:16:10,058 --> 00:16:14,454
Here are a few fun Louisiana facts...
The state is shaped like a boot,

392
00:16:14,455 --> 00:16:17,343
Louisiana's state
flower is the magnolia.

393
00:16:17,344 --> 00:16:19,161
The state bird is
the brown pelican.

394
00:16:19,162 --> 00:16:19,793
Who dat?

395
00:16:19,794 --> 00:16:22,114
The state reptile
is the alligator.

396
00:16:22,115 --> 00:16:23,385
No surprise there.

397
00:16:23,386 --> 00:16:25,751
And the state dog is...

398
00:16:26,379 --> 00:16:27,484
Well, the dog.

399
00:16:27,485 --> 00:16:28,454
Yeah.

400
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:31,188
That's right, our very own
Randy Jackson was born and

401
00:16:31,189 --> 00:16:33,621
raised just up the
road in Baton Rouge.

402
00:16:33,622 --> 00:16:35,826
Herman Jackson,
ladies and gentlemen.

403
00:16:35,827 --> 00:16:39,469
This is how Randy got all the
charm and good looks, right here.

404
00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:40,136
You think so, huh?

405
00:16:40,137 --> 00:16:43,998
But I've always wondered where he gets
his natural athletic physique from.

406
00:16:43,999 --> 00:16:46,946
Maybe this next contestant
can give us an insight.

407
00:16:46,947 --> 00:16:47,751
How are y'all?

408
00:16:47,752 --> 00:16:48,932
Good. How are you?

409
00:16:48,933 --> 00:16:49,784
I'm great.

410
00:16:49,956 --> 00:16:50,340
Nice.

411
00:16:50,341 --> 00:16:52,544
I have a surprise
for Randy today.

412
00:16:52,545 --> 00:16:52,987
Oh, what is it?

413
00:16:52,988 --> 00:16:56,033
I have some pictures of Randy
from when he was in high school.

414
00:16:56,034 --> 00:16:57,365
Oh, really?

415
00:16:57,638 --> 00:16:58,664
You shouldn't have.

416
00:16:58,665 --> 00:17:00,121
They're really good.

417
00:17:01,019 --> 00:17:01,997
Wow.

418
00:17:01,998 --> 00:17:02,760
Looky.

419
00:17:02,761 --> 00:17:04,646
Aw, look at this.

420
00:17:04,647 --> 00:17:05,969
This is nice.

421
00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:07,704
This is me as a shot-putter.

422
00:17:07,705 --> 00:17:08,703
Oh, my God.

423
00:17:08,704 --> 00:17:09,351
God, I was so handsome.

424
00:17:09,352 --> 00:17:11,406
I mean, it's just so funny.

425
00:17:11,407 --> 00:17:14,146
My uncle Jerry wilkinson
is here with me today.

426
00:17:14,147 --> 00:17:15,838
Oh, my old football coach.

427
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:16,906
Yo, coach!

428
00:17:16,907 --> 00:17:17,843
What's up?

429
00:17:17,844 --> 00:17:20,293
What's going on, man?

430
00:17:20,294 --> 00:17:22,048
I gotta say hi to
coach, you guys.

431
00:17:22,686 --> 00:17:23,657
Dude, what's up, man?

432
00:17:23,658 --> 00:17:24,277
All right.

433
00:17:24,278 --> 00:17:25,516
What's up, baby?

434
00:17:25,517 --> 00:17:25,667
I'm pretty good.

435
00:17:25,668 --> 00:17:27,019
How you been, man?

436
00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:27,666
I've been doing good.

437
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:29,009
Great football coach, guys.

438
00:17:29,010 --> 00:17:31,372
Steven, if you wanted to play
football, this is the guy.

439
00:17:31,373 --> 00:17:33,398
So, coach, did you
ever paddle his ass?

440
00:17:35,095 --> 00:17:36,876
He was too big to paddle.

441
00:17:36,877 --> 00:17:38,185
Yeah, that's right, baby.

442
00:17:38,186 --> 00:17:39,320
That's right.

443
00:17:39,321 --> 00:17:40,634
I did the paddling.

444
00:17:40,635 --> 00:17:42,726
We did that, we might've
broke the paddle.

445
00:17:43,969 --> 00:17:45,547
What is this show?

446
00:17:46,033 --> 00:17:47,030
Amazing to see you, man.

447
00:17:47,031 --> 00:17:47,951
Nice to see you, man.

448
00:17:47,952 --> 00:17:49,808
My God, this is great.

449
00:17:49,809 --> 00:17:50,754
Nice to meet you.

450
00:17:50,755 --> 00:17:52,156
Thank you.

451
00:17:52,157 --> 00:17:53,060
You're welcome.

452
00:17:53,061 --> 00:17:54,330
What are you gonna sing?

453
00:17:54,331 --> 00:17:55,539
I'll stand by you.

454
00:17:55,540 --> 00:17:56,626

Got a powerful voice. Yeah.

471
00:18:41,861 --> 00:18:43,963
You like being up in
that power zone, huh?

472
00:18:43,964 --> 00:18:47,641
I like it, but I... like, just letting
it all... I gotta tell you, when you

473
00:18:47,642 --> 00:18:50,095
got real soft, it
was so beautiful.

474
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:50,538
Yeah.

475
00:18:50,539 --> 00:18:54,335
And the jump from one to the
other was also really seamless.

476
00:18:54,336 --> 00:18:55,384
I think she's awesome.

477
00:18:55,385 --> 00:18:56,395
Beautiful.

478
00:18:56,396 --> 00:19:00,261
You had great ups and downs,
volume-wise, with your voice.

479
00:19:01,379 --> 00:19:02,132
I liked it.

480
00:19:02,133 --> 00:19:03,160
Thank you.

481
00:19:03,161 --> 00:19:04,012
I'd say yes.

482
00:19:04,783 --> 00:19:06,297
I would say yes too.

483
00:19:08,633 --> 00:19:10,071
Spirit fingers.

484
00:19:10,106 --> 00:19:10,981
I say yes.

485
00:19:10,982 --> 00:19:12,402
Three yeses, welcome
to Hollywood!

486
00:19:12,403 --> 00:19:13,842
Ah!

487
00:19:15,047 --> 00:19:16,224
Welcome to Hollywood.

488
00:19:16,225 --> 00:19:17,590
Thank y'all so much.

489
00:19:17,591 --> 00:19:18,813
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

490
00:19:18,814 --> 00:19:19,307
I do.

491
00:19:19,593 --> 00:19:22,043
The guy in these shots
is just so handsome.

492
00:19:23,241 --> 00:19:24,474
Thank y'all so much.

493
00:19:25,060 --> 00:19:26,695
Oh, I'm sorry, jacqueline.

494
00:19:31,634 --> 00:19:34,361
Wow, this is, like, memory lane.

495
00:19:34,850 --> 00:19:38,374
As Randy reflects on his
high-school glory days, our next

496
00:19:38,375 --> 00:19:41,733
contestant is experiencing
his very own coming-of-age.

497
00:19:41,769 --> 00:19:43,067
I'm Bret lowenstern.

498
00:19:43,068 --> 00:19:43,904
I'm 16 years old.

499
00:19:43,905 --> 00:19:46,477
I'm a high-school student, and
I'm from Boca raton, Florida.

500
00:19:46,949 --> 00:19:49,189
I would describe myself as
just different, you know.

501
00:19:49,190 --> 00:19:52,325
Like, a red apple in a pile
of green apples, you know?

502
00:19:52,326 --> 00:19:53,422
I like to stand out.

503
00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:59,839
Growing up, starting in about the
third grade, people would pick on me.

504
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,742
And it would hurt a lot.

505
00:20:01,743 --> 00:20:05,008
I was never really invited to
birthday parties, and they would

506
00:20:05,009 --> 00:20:06,285
call me... "you're a dork.

507
00:20:06,286 --> 00:20:07,117
You're a geek."

508
00:20:07,118 --> 00:20:08,317
It was really hard for me.

509
00:20:11,092 --> 00:20:13,582
I think growing up is
hard for any child.

510
00:20:13,583 --> 00:20:18,380
For Bret, it was more difficult, and he
was picked on a lot and left out a lot.

511
00:20:18,381 --> 00:20:21,205
It was very painful
for me to watch.

512
00:20:22,035 --> 00:20:24,606
I had an epiphany at one point.

513
00:20:24,607 --> 00:20:27,608
I finally became happy in my
own shell, and I was like, you

514
00:20:27,609 --> 00:20:31,316
know, "someone doesn't like me,
it's cool, 'cause as long as

515
00:20:31,317 --> 00:20:33,107
I like me, that's
all that matters."

516
00:20:33,108 --> 00:20:35,650
I wanna give a message
to kids and bullies.

517
00:20:36,142 --> 00:20:38,363
Be yourself, because there's
only one life to live.

518
00:20:38,364 --> 00:20:41,177
You should just be happy with
yourself, no matter what.

519
00:20:41,178 --> 00:20:42,526
All right, let's go.

520
00:20:42,527 --> 00:20:43,256
Group hug.

521
00:20:46,169 --> 00:20:49,533
You know, American idol has been
a dream for him for a long time.

522
00:20:49,534 --> 00:20:52,948
Bret would like to inspire
people through his music.

523
00:20:53,501 --> 00:20:56,147
And we support him on that.

524
00:20:56,148 --> 00:20:57,154
I think he can.

525
00:20:58,183 --> 00:20:59,980
I'm gonna show the judges
that I've got this.

526
00:20:59,981 --> 00:21:01,431
That's my phrase... I've got this.

527
00:21:01,707 --> 00:21:02,925
I've got what it takes.

528
00:21:03,756 --> 00:21:05,216
I'm the next American idol.

529
00:21:06,958 --> 00:21:07,566
Hi.

530
00:21:07,567 --> 00:21:07,932
Hello.

531
00:21:07,933 --> 00:21:08,762
Do you remember me?

532
00:21:09,885 --> 00:21:10,641
Do I?

533
00:21:10,642 --> 00:21:11,192
Yeah.

534
00:21:11,222 --> 00:21:11,910
Where'd I see you?

535
00:21:12,246 --> 00:21:14,568
You were walking off the
elevator, and you waved at me.

536
00:21:14,569 --> 00:21:15,933
Oh, yes, okay.

537
00:21:15,934 --> 00:21:17,438
I was surprised.

538
00:21:17,439 --> 00:21:19,094
I was like, "Steven
Tyler waved at me."

539
00:21:19,095 --> 00:21:20,115
He winked at you?

540
00:21:20,116 --> 00:21:21,078
No, waved.

541
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:21,520
Oh.

542
00:21:21,521 --> 00:21:22,933
But I was staring.

543
00:21:22,934 --> 00:21:24,972
I didn't mean to stare, like, in
a creepy way, I was just like,

544
00:21:24,973 --> 00:21:26,170
"is that Steven Tyler?"

545
00:21:26,171 --> 00:21:26,950
No.

546
00:21:26,951 --> 00:21:28,024
And you caught me off guard.

547
00:21:28,025 --> 00:21:28,766
And I was like, "hey."

548
00:21:28,767 --> 00:21:29,452
Yeah.

549
00:21:29,453 --> 00:21:31,211
I'm Bret, hi.

550
00:21:31,212 --> 00:21:32,057
Hola.

551
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:33,123
Bret, how old are you?

552
00:21:33,124 --> 00:21:33,576
16.

553
00:21:33,577 --> 00:21:34,488
Did you say "hola"?

554
00:21:34,489 --> 00:21:35,304
Yes, hola.

555
00:21:36,241 --> 00:21:37,934
Wow, Bret's ready for this.

556
00:21:37,935 --> 00:21:38,565
Yep.

557
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:39,980
Eager.

558
00:21:40,028 --> 00:21:41,710
Now, what do you
got in your hair?

559
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:44,044
I've got curling cream.

560
00:21:44,045 --> 00:21:48,284
And then I use baby oil, but my hair got
kind of dirty with buildup... baby oil.

561
00:21:48,285 --> 00:21:49,645
Wow, I used to do that.

562
00:21:49,646 --> 00:21:52,028
I just use...

563
00:21:52,029 --> 00:21:52,824
That's the name of it.

564
00:21:52,825 --> 00:21:53,674
It says it right on the bottle.

565
00:21:53,675 --> 00:21:54,224
Really?

566
00:21:54,225 --> 00:21:54,846
Just like that?

567
00:21:54,847 --> 00:21:55,626
Yes, sir.

568
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:00,634
So which one's your
brother, little man?

569
00:22:00,635 --> 00:22:03,809
The...The one with the red hair.

570
00:22:03,810 --> 00:22:04,486
Big red hair.

571
00:22:04,487 --> 00:22:05,126
That one?

572
00:22:05,127 --> 00:22:05,460
Yeah.

573

Don't stop smiling.

Smile big.

That's it. That's it.

a thing of beauty.

Did anybody ever tell you you look quite
a bit like someone, like a rock star?

656
00:25:29,758 --> 00:25:33,971
Well, I won a contest that a
shreveport radio station put on

657
00:25:33,972 --> 00:25:36,255
for looking like Steven
Tyler, actually.

658

No!

659
00:25:36,917 --> 00:25:37,691

For some, preparation is as
simple as a quick vocal warm-up.

772
00:29:22,163 --> 00:29:25,255
Or maybe you'll bust a move
to get the nerves out.

773
00:29:26,973 --> 00:29:29,968
But for others, preparation
started years ago.

774
00:29:30,026 --> 00:29:31,226
Hi.

775
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:32,140
Hello.

776
00:29:32,141 --> 00:29:33,090
How are you all today?

777
00:29:33,091 --> 00:29:33,818
We're great.

778
00:29:33,819 --> 00:29:34,942
What is your name?

779
00:29:34,943 --> 00:29:36,656
My name is Alex itardo.

780
00:29:36,657 --> 00:29:38,822
I'm 18 years old, and
I'm from new Orleans.

781
00:29:38,823 --> 00:29:39,747
From new Orleans.

782
00:29:39,748 --> 00:29:41,540
So, Alex, tell me a
little bit about you.

783
00:29:42,534 --> 00:29:43,518
I went to idol camp.

784
00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:46,926
Idol sponsored a camp, and I was
15 at the time of the camp.

785
00:29:46,927 --> 00:29:49,189
And it was my first time really
singing in front of people, so

786
00:29:49,190 --> 00:29:50,512
I was like, you know,

787
00:29:50,828 --> 00:29:52,103
"this is what I really wanna do."

788
00:29:52,104 --> 00:29:53,590
So you learned a
lot at idol camp?

789
00:29:53,591 --> 00:29:54,200
I did.

790
00:29:54,201 --> 00:29:57,106
It was one of the most
eye-opening experiences.

791
00:29:57,107 --> 00:29:58,754
It was just great to work
with everyone there.

792
00:29:58,755 --> 00:29:59,718
So what you singing, man?

793
00:29:59,719 --> 00:30:01,254
I'm gonna be singing proud Mary.

794
00:30:01,255 --> 00:30:03,216
You're the next
American idol, right?

795
00:30:03,494 --> 00:30:03,980
Yes, sir.

796
00:30:04,184 --> 00:30:05,156
Started out at idol camp.

797
00:30:05,157 --> 00:30:05,903

00:30:43,232 --> 00:30:43,849
No, you know what?

817
00:30:43,850 --> 00:30:44,959
Don't listen to him.

818
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,563
You just were so off the
melody of that song, even if

819
00:30:47,564 --> 00:30:50,351
you're telling me you were
doing some... your own rendition

820
00:30:50,352 --> 00:30:54,805
of it, and when you stray that
far from what it was... right.

821
00:30:54,806 --> 00:30:55,615
You know, it's just...

822
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,411
I understand.

823
00:30:57,412 --> 00:30:58,065
Okay.

824
00:30:59,031 --> 00:31:00,760
No, dude, really,
it was terrible.

825
00:31:00,897 --> 00:31:01,908
Honestly, it was terrible.

826
00:31:01,909 --> 00:31:02,508
Oh, God.

827
00:31:02,509 --> 00:31:03,096
It really was.

828
00:31:03,097 --> 00:31:03,819
Honestly.

829
00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:05,596
Yeah.

830
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,486
You come here 'cause you
want the truth, right?

831
00:31:07,487 --> 00:31:08,150
You want the truth?

832
00:31:08,151 --> 00:31:09,314
He looked at me.

833
00:31:09,315 --> 00:31:10,324
It's a no, dude.

834
00:31:10,662 --> 00:31:12,110

835
00:31:12,111 --> 00:31:12,558

All right, thanks, buddy.

838
00:31:16,077 --> 00:31:16,913
Good looking out.

839
00:31:17,792 --> 00:31:21,726
To be fair, the camp was three
years ago when Alex was only 15.

840
00:31:22,469 --> 00:31:25,955
Then again, our next contestant, j.
C. Badeau is only 15,

841
00:31:25,956 --> 00:31:27,534

00:33:33,808 --> 00:33:34,637
Steven?

910
00:33:34,638 --> 00:33:38,676
I will finish that off with a
double helping of "ooh, yeah."

911
00:33:39,093 --> 00:33:39,664
Oh.

912
00:33:39,665 --> 00:33:41,316
Yes, you are going to Hollywood!

913
00:33:41,396 --> 00:33:41,924
Yes!

914
00:33:43,169 --> 00:33:43,954
Thank you.

915
00:33:44,061 --> 00:33:44,701
Whoo!

916
00:33:50,454 --> 00:33:52,701
What does it make you feel like
to have that in your hand?

917
00:33:52,702 --> 00:33:54,065
I'm so happy.

918
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:55,194
It's so exciting.

919
00:33:55,762 --> 00:33:58,802
So 15-year-old j.C.
Is headed to Hollywood.

920
00:33:58,864 --> 00:34:00,152
I'm going to Hollywood!

921
00:34:00,153 --> 00:34:01,611
Whoo!

922
00:34:04,036 --> 00:34:04,744
Coming up...

923
00:34:05,162 --> 00:34:08,015
The new Orleans
auditions near a close.

924
00:34:08,050 --> 00:34:11,459
They told me that she
might not survive.

925
00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:14,796
Can this story of struggle
find a happy ending?

926
00:34:14,797 --> 00:34:15,759
I love to sing.

927
00:34:16,415 --> 00:34:17,810
It m my dream.

928
00:34:17,845 --> 00:34:22,009
Well, let's take a vote and see what
dreams are gonna happen here today.

929
00:34:22,646 --> 00:34:23,300
Jennifer.

930
00:34:34,053 --> 00:34:35,757
Welcome back to new Orleans.

931
00:34:35,858 --> 00:34:39,691
As the sun starttoto set and
the celebrations come to a

932
00:34:39,759 --> 00:34:43,829
close, Louisiana still has one
last Southern belle it's hoping

933
00:34:43,896 --> 00:34:45,576
to send to Hollywood.

934
00:34:47,028 --> 00:34:48,513
My name is Paris tisanne.

935
00:34:48,572 --> 00:34:51,935
I'm 23 years old, and I'm
from new Orleans, Louisiana.

936
00:34:52,078 --> 00:34:54,121
I got pregnant at 18 years old.

937
00:34:54,122 --> 00:34:56,481
It was tough for me 'cause
I wasn't ready yet.

938
00:34:57,885 --> 00:35:00,868
I went to the doctor to find
out if she was a girl or boy.

939
00:35:00,869 --> 00:35:04,326
And they told me that she...

940
00:35:07,403 --> 00:35:11,347
she had hydrocephalus, which is
something that gets water in

941
00:35:11,348 --> 00:35:14,229
the ventricles, and that
she might not survive.

942
00:35:17,010 --> 00:35:23,126
They told me that I shouldn't have her,
and it wasn't gonna be good if I did.

943
00:35:24,030 --> 00:35:26,895
But I decided to keep
forward with the pregnancy.

944
00:35:27,574 --> 00:35:29,032
My daughter's name is kyra.

945
00:35:35,022 --> 00:35:37,534
She has problems
with her hearing.

946
00:35:37,535 --> 00:35:38,338
She has hearing loss...

947
00:35:40,889 --> 00:35:42,436
Hearing aids.

948
00:35:45,923 --> 00:35:49,569
But she's a very healthy baby,
and she is the best thing that's

949
00:35:49,570 --> 00:35:50,699
ever happened to me in my life.

950
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,091
Mmm I'm very proud oh her.

951
00:35:54,010 --> 00:35:56,644
And I'm singing for her.

952
00:35:58,394 --> 00:35:59,194
Sorry..

953
00:36:01,820 --> 00:36:02,476
Hi.

954
00:36:02,740 --> 00:36:03,769
Hello, Paris.

955
00:36:03,770 --> 00:36:05,395
Yes, Paris.

956
00:36:05,396 --> 00:36:06,508
How are you today?

957
00:36:06,509 --> 00:36:07,175
How are you?

958
00:36:07,568 --> 00:36:08,188
Good.

959
00:36:08,189 --> 00:36:10,626
This is my friend Jennifer
Lopez right here. I see that.

960
00:36:10,627 --> 00:36:12,275
Oh, my goodness,
she's so beautiful.

961
00:36:12,276 --> 00:36:12,991
Thank you.

962
00:36:13,637 --> 00:36:14,845
Tell us something
about yourself.

963
00:36:15,177 --> 00:36:18,503
I'm a mom to a special-needs
child, and I take care of her.

964
00:36:19,052 --> 00:36:20,203
You sing to your daughter?

965
00:36:20,204 --> 00:36:20,895
I do.

966
00:36:21,263 --> 00:36:21,673
Mm.

967
00:36:21,875 --> 00:36:22,677
Every day.

968
00:36:22,678 --> 00:36:24,355
She sings with me, so..... O oh!

969
00:36:25,189 --> 00:36:26,400
What kind of music
do you like to sing?

970
00:36:26,401 --> 00:36:29,196
I like singing country,
pop... really anything.

971
00:36:29,197 --> 00:36:33,017
Today I'm gonna sing Carrie Underwood's
temporary home because it has meaning.

972
00:36:33,461 --> 00:36:33,783
Nice.

973
00:36:33,784 --> 00:36:34,199
Okay.

974
00:36:34,820 --> 00:36:35,562

When you sang, I felt it.

999
00:38:00,349 --> 00:38:00,837
Mm.

1000
00:38:00,838 --> 00:38:02,037
I really felt it.

1001
00:38:02,038 --> 00:38:03,813
I mean, it brought
tears to my eyes.

1002
00:38:03,814 --> 00:38:05,735
And that was the first
time that happened today.

1003
00:38:07,367 --> 00:38:09,567
I could just feel... I could just
feel what you were singing, and

1004
00:38:09,568 --> 00:38:13,600
I knew it meant something to you,
and that's what music is about.

1005
00:38:13,601 --> 00:38:14,508
Yeah.

1006
00:38:14,509 --> 00:38:18,413
I do that for my daughter, 'cause I
wanna teach her, "go for your dreams.

1007
00:38:18,414 --> 00:38:21,175
Do everything you wanna
do in life and be happy."

1008
00:38:21,344 --> 00:38:21,816
Mm-hmm.

1009
00:38:21,817 --> 00:38:22,671
I love to sing.

1010
00:38:22,672 --> 00:38:24,192
Oh, I love to sing.

1011
00:38:24,821 --> 00:38:25,968
It's my dream.

1012
00:38:26,339 --> 00:38:30,480
Well, let's take a vote and see what
dreams are gonna happen here today.

1013
00:38:30,825 --> 00:38:31,487
Steven?

1014
00:38:32,588 --> 00:38:33,807
I say yes.

1015
00:38:33,808 --> 00:38:35,058
Jennifer?

1016
00:38:35,715 --> 00:38:36,372
Yes.

1017
00:38:36,373 --> 00:38:37,149
Thank you.

1018
00:38:37,228 --> 00:38:38,273
And I say yes.

1019
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:41,281
Welcome to Hollywood.
Thank you, and I'm gonna do so much better.

1020
00:38:41,916 --> 00:38:42,752
I'm gonna do great.

1021
00:38:42,993 --> 00:38:44,809
Hold your little
baby girl tonight.

1022
00:38:45,115 --> 00:38:45,709
Thank you.

1023
00:38:45,710 --> 00:38:48,686
Oh, she's right out there,
and I can't wait to see her!

1024
00:38:53,897 --> 00:38:54,832
Oh, yeah!

1025
00:38:55,299 --> 00:38:57,167
We're going to Hollywood, kid!

1026
00:38:57,168 --> 00:38:58,879
Guys, let's wrap it up.

1027
00:38:58,880 --> 00:38:59,354
What do we think?

1028
00:38:59,355 --> 00:39:00,060
How did we do?

1029
00:39:00,061 --> 00:39:02,656
I'm thinking it's one of
the best days we've had.

1030
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:03,658
Look at this baby.

1031
00:39:04,159 --> 00:39:05,060
Look at her face.

1032
00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:07,072
I think your grandmother's
losing it over here.

1033
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:09,085
Are you okay?

1034
00:39:09,086 --> 00:39:10,109
Yes, she'll be okay.

1035
00:39:10,110 --> 00:39:14,394
And with that, the new Orleans
auditions come to an emotional close.

1036
00:39:15,258 --> 00:39:15,784
You all right?

1037
00:39:15,785 --> 00:39:16,163
Yes, fine.

1038
00:39:16,164 --> 00:39:17,163
Thank you.

1039
00:39:17,523 --> 00:39:18,289
All right.

1040
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:18,942
It's a wrap!

1041
00:39:18,943 --> 00:39:23,589
And as we roll out, so do the 37 hopefuls
that claimed their spot in Hollywood.

1042
00:39:23,778 --> 00:39:25,124
Stevie, where's she going?

1043
00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:26,495
You're going to Hollywood!

1044
00:39:27,404 --> 00:39:28,715
Welcome to Hollywood!

1045
00:39:29,425 --> 00:39:30,162
Whoo!

1046
00:39:30,163 --> 00:39:31,888
You're going to Hollywood.

1047
00:39:40,673 --> 00:39:41,439
There it is!

1048
00:39:43,371 --> 00:39:46,916
I'm going to Hollywood!

1049
00:39:46,951 --> 00:39:50,841
Hollywood,
Hollywood, Hollywood!

1050
00:39:50,842 --> 00:39:54,032
I just wanted to tell you
I'm going to Hollywood!

1051
00:39:57,474 --> 00:39:58,660
No.

1052
00:40:01,069 --> 00:40:04,042
But Jennifer has one last
good-bye to take care of.

1053
00:40:04,404 --> 00:40:05,794
Is it the baby?

1054
00:40:05,795 --> 00:40:07,430
Hi, baby.

1055
00:40:07,431 --> 00:40:08,088
Say hi.

1056
00:40:08,089 --> 00:40:08,934
What's your name?

1057
00:40:08,935 --> 00:40:09,799
Kyra.

1058
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:10,946
Hi, kyra.

1059
00:40:10,947 --> 00:40:14,518
Your mommy, she sang
really good for you today.

1060
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,396
Good luck.

1061
00:40:18,397 --> 00:40:19,199
Thank you.

1062
00:40:19,584 --> 00:40:20,664
It means everything.

1063
00:40:29,363 --> 00:40:31,663
That does it for us
here in new Orleans.

1064
00:40:31,664 --> 00:40:34,154
This group is off to Hollywood.

1065
00:40:35,088 --> 00:40:37,831
But we still got
more spaces to fill.

1066
00:40:37,832 --> 00:40:39,808
Join us next time here
on American idol.

1067
00:40:39,809 --> 00:40:40,615
Hit it, boys!

1068
00:40:47,468 --> 00:40:50,246
Next week, our search continues.

1069
00:40:51,024 --> 00:40:52,833
Say cheese!

1070
00:40:52,834 --> 00:40:53,588
Cheese!

1071
00:40:53,589 --> 00:40:56,371
It's our first trip to
Milwaukee, Wisconsin...

1072
00:40:57,035 --> 00:41:00,281
Welcome to Milwaukee,
American idol!

1073
00:41:00,282 --> 00:41:03,221
Where the brightest stars
have come out to shine.

1074
00:41:03,505 --> 00:41:05,174
So good, so good.

1075
00:41:05,175 --> 00:41:07,322
But fame comes with a price.

1076
00:41:07,323 --> 00:41:09,841
What kind of guy would I be if I walked
out when she needed me the most?

1077
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:12,250
Please, I want this so bad.

1078
00:41:12,251 --> 00:41:14,232
You'll get swallowed up
in this whole thing.

1079
00:41:14,233 --> 00:41:14,754
Oh, no.

1080
00:41:14,755 --> 00:41:18,120
So join us, as we give thousands a shot...
Gun down.

1081
00:41:18,121 --> 00:41:19,850
At becoming a superstar.

1082
00:41:20,174 --> 00:41:22,806
I'm gonna kick this thing
straight to the moon.

1083
