I don't think you're ready yet.
It's a no for me.
Okay.

Okay, I don't have your number.
My mom always told me, if you have nothing kind to say about
anyone, don't say anything at all, so on the subject of
Randy Jackson, my lips are sealed.
I think he's pissed because he's not really related to Michael Jackson or
Samuel l. Jackson.
I don't know what he's got up.
Randy, you messed with the wrong person. Now.
Put me on next year, maybe we can squash the beef, but for
now, you and I are beefin'.
Wow, wow, wow.
Coming up, the sweet sounds of l. A. Continue.

Are you okay?
Welcome back to Los Angeles.
It's been two long days packed with some pretty abysmal talent.
Man, L.A. has got to show and prove today, man.
Not good.
God.
What's going on, man?
But despite the steady stream of disappointment, the judges
hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Okay, L.A. is just crazy.
It seems as if it's all going downhill.
It's been hours since we've seen a winner, and the holding room
is almost empty, but there are still a couple of guys remaining
who are confident they can smack some life back into this city.
Oh!
Two brothers, one older... older.
One younger.
Yes.
Aged.
Yep, one... one... seasoned.
My name is mark Gutierrez, and I'm 28.
I'm Aaron Gutierrez, and I'm 27.
Ow!
Ouch!
Mark is... he's a teacher.
He's a math teacher.
"Nerd."
No, I... square.
Aaron lives his own life by his own rules, and he's gonna do
it his way, and your life always seems boring compared to his.
Get in there.
Okay.
Do your thing.
I'll be waiting out here.
Gentlemen... All right, we'll see you in a bit.
Good luck.
They're gonna see some scrawny little kids coming in,
and they're not gonna expect to hear what they're gonna hear.
Finally.
Hey.
Hello, everybody.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello, hello, mi Amor.
Hi.
Are you guys related?
We are brothers.
Kind of.
No.
Something like that.
No, no.

They were, like, feeling you.
I loved it.
It was really, really beautiful.
Oh, thanks.
Thank you.
I think you guys sounded great too, man.
You sing really, really well together.
There's nothing like two brothers or two siblings singing
together that grew up singing together.
What do you think, Steven?
It was godlike, the way you guys sang.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
I mean, you know, that two people can sing that well together... it was, yeah.
Was... was unreal.
After today, it was just what we needed.
Thank you, Mr. Tyler.
I say yes.
And I say yes too.
Yeah!
So that means... thank you!
Both of you are going to Hollywood!
Whoo!
Ah, come on.
Congratulations.
Whoo!
Oh.

Welcome back to American idol.
Our Los Angeles auditions have been far from successful.
Aw!
No.
But the judges haven't completely given up hope yet.

Oh!
Hey!
Oh, my God.

You got that?
You got those directions?
Very dangerous?
Yes.
Dangerous for me or you?
Alligators, bears, cats.
Really?
Yeah, for real.
You gotta walk a certain way 'cause the snakes.
There's a lot of snakes.
How old are you?
59... I think.

Next week, we're back on track, as we've reserved the best talent for last.
San Francisco has stories to captivate you... I lost a lot of stuff, but
what I really lost was the first home I was really excited to live in.
And voices that will blow you away.

Winner?
Also next week, the pressure is on... You get one shot.
As Hollywood week begins... My stomach is in knots, and my heart's pounding.
A true test of talent that only few will survive.
If you just let me, I mean, I just want to sing some more.
Will your favorite be one of them?
