AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returns on ABC.
American Idol 2024
Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation are music industry forces and superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest continues as host of the beloved series, for the historic 22nd season. - บันเทิง
The fact that he still laughed and walked away respectfully with smile shows how nice he is and love him more .
It's staged... it's so obvious
@@RosettaStoned462I also came here to say this. I about threw my remote through the TV when they sent him out. But when they brought him back and the more I thought about it yeah it was definitely scripted. Katy might be dumb enough to have not recognized his talent, but Lionel is not.
@@dnett57 The whole show is scripted!
Yeah them being wrong on a song called "I was wrong" 🤔
@@dnett57yeah all these shows are scripted to avoid crazy bad auditions they used to have
I don’t think he’s “trying to get out a sound”, that is HIS sound! Thank goodness they brought him back.
She was talking about how the left side of his face pulls, but was trying not to say it for some reason. Which is why Ryan Seacrest said "I've seen his face."
For whatever reason, they were trying to hide it with camera angles.
Katie was not talking about his sound sound. She was talking about his mouth.
YES I DIDNT EXPECT THAT!!!
I believe she was mainly referring to the theatrics but in the end that’s the way he feel comfortable singing and to be critical of his STYLE and not his voice was very unreasonable
Going back to this... seeing how Jack is now in the top 7 and doing an incredible job. Major props to Luke to pulling this off. Jack so deserves to be in this thing.
Same what a glow up and thank God Luke got the team to
Vote too
When the workers stand up management to let them know:
🎵”Y’all Was Wrong”🎵 Thank you to the crew for saving Jack Blocker. The voting people have decided that he’s in the Top 5 now.
Top 3!! How crazy
Now it’s top 3 👏👏👏
Tamara knows what's up. 'What is wrong with you guys?' This guy killed it.
“If I ain’t rustlin feathers then I ain’t worth bein remembered when I leave” what a line!
except the expression is ruffling feathers not rustling feathers…
@@angusquinnebert yeah, that don’t sound as good, and the expression could be said meany ways depending on who’s saying it.
One of the best lines I’ve heard in a long time!!!!
Right?! Can we talk about the song?!? Was great!!
@@retrorampage9015 nah. you can’t just make things up whenever you feel like it.
The crew standing up for him that meant everything
& Lionel Richie listening to them. That says so much too
Why do I feel like i'm being played though?
I watched 2 videos from American Idol in a row on the first video they said to the contestant that the Crew is clapping and it has never happened before.
Now the crew is voting and it has never happened before. It feels like a publicity stunt. Maybe the "stars above" was the signal to get this done hahhaha.
EDIT: Holy shit i might be right: 3:40 Lionel starts laughing awkwardly and he took a long time as if someone from the production team was telling him something and then he goes "Alright stars above..." which could mean he agrees to do this shit.
this is the other video for anyone wondering: watch?v=Cc9f37G619c - 5 : 17 - I've never heard the crew clap.
& luke who pleads and initiated reconsidering his decision.
@@sheeeit7730Yeah it was definitely scripted.
@@sheeeit7730because you are. All this drama is to get people to watch the show. All of this is scripted. MasterChef getting a blind contestant and then making her win, etc all of this is just to make good TV
Look at him now! He's a finalist and has a real shot of winning it all. Even if he doesn't win, this is an amazing trajectory.
Funny how "Katy was wrong ". 😅
And now he’s in the top 5 and will probably be in the finale. Go Jack! Always on my Mind was a showstopper.🎉
NOW, the top 3. Wow!
The fact the name of the song was “I was wrong” and then THIS happened?!? Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
It was staged...
I didn't pick up on that... cool! I wonder how Katy would have rated Joe Cocker 🥴
It’s tv bro lol
@@WillThomas-hs3oj Nothing ever happens!
lol, you really think any of this is real? a peep from any of the crew would have any of the judges demanding they be fired for mixing in
One of the first originals I've heard on here in a long time that sounded like it's already been on the radio
I came here hoping someone would hear that too. I swear there is a song that sounds exactly like his
@@soimprovedcorrectly some part of the song 🤪🤪🤪
It’s 100% radio ready!
@@Freelaugh2024I think you’re hearing tones of Feathered Indians because the style is similar but also keep in mind he is an untrained amateur. But man oh man it was so good!
I agree with you 💯
One of the best auditions ever on American Idol...
I, too, was initially caught off guard by Jack's facial expressions when forming notes but quickly realized this is his style. So happy Lionel Richie had the confidence and humility to bring Jack back...speaks volumes about him and what makes a true and strong public figure. Bravo!
Hands down the most artistic and original audition.
This guy is talented. I came here right after seeing it on TV
I would pay much more to see a concert of this kid than Katie Perry, not gonna lie 😅
I mean I would put this up there with Alejandro
And arthur gunn
@@miacenter643 Auther can sing, but he did not have the writing skills like Jack,,,you can see the way he sings from moving his mouth, he da real deal
Same. Jusy to see the comments. 😅
Are you kidding me?! He has the potential to probably win the whole show.
Katie and Lionel were dead wrong!!
@@annemariegerun7955Lionel was quick to recover from the big mistake
Totally agree. That was a easy yes. Maybe Q-tips can be next year sponsor for the show and they can clean their ears out.
what an amazing voice
Agree !
So so so happy I just found him on Itunes. Funny I don't have any Katy Perry on my playlist but I now have Jack Blocker.
Yeah. I cannot stand her. Use to like her till I sW her on American Idol as a Judge. I think she's the worst.
Me too. Lol
The way he walked away still positive about it all is when I knew he's different. Love him!
You know the audition is damn good when you get it on the recommended feed without having searched for anything similar
Yes, I don’t watch the show nor do I subscribe to American Idol. I occasionally watch things that pop up like this and that’s it. That’s how good this guy is. ❤️ I hope he goes far. I’m not just talking about this show.
Same. I was wondering why it was on my feed. Excellent. Happy for the guy. He took the L amazingly and then took the W with grace as well. Go tear it up, Jack!
I don't know where he will go, but Luke just changed Jack's life...maybe even as a future songwriter!
Hard agree❤
I liked that Luke mentioned Paul Simon and this contestant clearly seem to know who he meant.
Agreed, I would add that song to my Spotify right now. Great song writer.
He’s in top 5 now!!! What a moment in time for him!!
@@jakeburns1066Top 3!
Dang…this song hits so much harder now. Wow.
It's a damn good song!
They're not talking about how good his original song is. Great lyrics.
Lionel was torn, glad he changed his vote.
He was humble, stood there quietly took their critique and judgement, he didn’t have a sob story, so they didn’t let him through as they would have done with others with the same, if not less, talent.
I’m very glad Luke made a fuss about it. He definitely deserved a chance to go through to next round with his vocal and songwriting talent.
EXACTLY!
You are so right he didn't have a story for tv. So they had to create one on the spot. Now he's the underdog who sings weird and got voted in at the last second.
And I bet he wins or is 2nd…….made good TV…..
I think Lionel did it to do him a favor. He knew this guy would be a star on his own, and wanted him to get full credit for his talent rather than having the fame from American Idol
It is set up
Best singer (AND WROTE THE SONG TOO!) I’ve heard of all the auditions so far tonight. This isn’t just a good singer this is an artist a real musician! I was SHOCKED when he got
Two no’s! Thank you to the crew for having our backs!
I'm glad that this is Katie Perry's last season. She doesn't even deserve to be on the show after what she did last year, but Katie's just jealous because he's an amazing singer. Way better than she'll ever be
I was shocked too but they like to produce a certain type of clone
Luke knows best
I won't be surprised if hate mail is the reason behind her abrupt upcoming departure @@asherbrasfield4830
@@asherbrasfield4830.Excuse me, what did she do? I don't recall having heard about something outrageous🫢
I hope he wins the whole thing! Love this guy!
The "What is WRONG with you guys?!" From Tamra said it all I think. Good on the crew for speaking up ❤
What made it better was how gracious the contestant was with the original ‘no votes’. Like water off a ducks back.
He didn’t blow a gasket and say these people were crazy. Very humble man.
Great acting
As he was singing, I said outloud, "He's my favorite so far." And then that??? Thank god for the crew and Luke.
It’s scripted dude…
@@TheyCallMeThatPerson YES!!!!!, GLAD TO SEE someone else gets it!
I just wrote a comment along that line!!!

Hmmmmm, set up perhaps..... I don't buy it... I truly think it was all planned!!!
The crew of American Idol is awesomee...loved them
I don’t know Jack! But I’d LOVE to! His smile is captivating and his singing is original. The facial expressions while singing were strange but also endearing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was easily one of the best auditions. This guy will be huge even without American Idol.
Thank you Luke and the CREW for seeing the potential of this talented guy. Way to go Jack.
Lionel is a real one. Didn’t let his pride get in the way and listened to the people around him.
THAT HUGE! Definitly gets my respect for that.
The confusion about Lionel is that he said...you're a real artist and we know you're competition...Then he said: "no"...I love Lionel but that just doesn't make sense?
Music is so in my heart. I cry during the episodes because I see people sing with their whole heart. When they let him go, I banged on my table, I was mad. When crew stepped in and they brought him back in, I banged my table to celebrate with him.
HOW DARE THEY CRITIQUE HIM, that was literally the GOAT audition, control, soul and art wise!!! Literally the best Ive seen
The facial expressions added to his overall musical appeal
He reminds me of tyler childers, and look where childers is.
@@rudygalindo2006 Too many TC wannabe's out there now. They all sound the same.
Yea I kinda feel like this was staged for the show they were bored and Katy got this idea they all really loved it 👀….I unbelievable. I’m rooting for this guy
@@dennismclaurin1487 Agreed. He's fantastic.
I think his "guitar face" made Katy think of John Mayer, who she hooked up with for awhile until it went south. 😂😂
😂😂😂 facts
Possible.
Won't be surprised if that judgemental incident is why she's calling it quits
@dennismclaurin1487 I doubt it. While it may be judgemental it does matter.
FUNNY!
@@dennismclaurin1487 Is she really quitting? If so, do you know if she is at least finishing the season?
this genre ain't usually my cup of tea but this dude has talent and really embodies the everyday spirit of us all here in murica
Black man from Garland Tx and I'm utterly amazed that they said no 👎! This guy is a star!!!
Isn't it just amazing to see a person who's humble and kind? He took all the feedback so well, smiling, being polite all the time! Gosh I love this so much
Those lyrics and that song is a hit.and his vocal is incredible too. He can write and sing his own hits big plus.
Yep! Just like several in the charts are doing now
Huge thanks man!
I Really enjoyed it!
@jackforestblocker your a grewt artist
Most naturally talented contestant this year!
His positive attitude and being humble will win him this whole thing, rooting for you my uso Jack💪🏻love this story if you end up taking the crown my brother
What I love about this is he took the feedback, took the no and was so obviously an INCREDIBLE songwriter and singer with a few bad habits, and then they called him back and put him through. That song just flowed and could be a recorded hit. Well deserved!
A few bad habits? What do you mean?
@@annemariegerun7955 referencing what Katy mentioned, he's twisting his face a bit too much when he sings to get the phrasing out which can feel a bit too effected and probably hasn't been that aware of it before.
@@chazharris Do you remember Trent Harmon, winner of Idol 2016? He also made strange faces when he sang, but JLo coached him and he tamed it down a bit. I don't think Jack even realizes he makes faces....he just sings with passion. He is a natural.
Yep, that's what Katy (and I) were saying. It's just raw and needs some honing so he can make a bit more eye contact with the audience at home on the live shows outside of an audition room. I'm sure they'll coach him on that though.@@annemariegerun7955
He pulls something out of the listener with his words, a deep soul response. The rest is breath control and timing for the notes. That can be learned. So glad they called him back.
They let a lot of people through who could use a lot of work and this young man was actually extremely talented.
Seen this over 50 times, and I still clap at the end sometimes. So good!!!!
I'm rewatching this video realizing the irony, his song is 'I was wrong'. I've been rooting for Jack from the start, based on auditions. Two of three judges were very wrong. WTG Jack! 🎉
He kept the right Humble attitude! He deserves it! Good for you Jack!
I loved everything, his voice, his facial movements, the song, his humbleness, I think he's the total package
Everything was great but the facial expressions are a bit distracting, I'm not trying to be mean but it's just my honest first impression I would be able to focus more on his talent if he just reeled in the facial expressions a lil bit.
Song reminded me of a Mumford and Sons song. With a good producer, the song could be a hit on an alternative genre station.
Young Jack is fully committed to his craft. But also coachable, humble and unique - and has a pretty darn good voice to boot! Can’t wait to hear more!
If you listen to this guy with your eyes closed holy crap his voice is so beautiful
His gesture with his sound is what got my attention, I could feel he was feeling what was coming out of his mouth ! Thanks for bringing him back , he is unique.
Yeah, I know. It was like Wow!!
His gestures and mouth movement was a little old school, Hank Williams comes to mind as was some of the song with a little yodel put in. The song, words, voice and creativity were excellent and should have outweighed the others. He has great potential and these things easily coachable. I was floored with the no, when I have seen some go thru with just a smidgen of his talent. Way to go crew in turning it around.
This is one of the best auditions I've ever seen on the show. Beautiful musicality, tone, control, emotion, authenticity, and just wonderful to listen to. My mind is absolutely BLOWN that these judges are so deaf 😂
This guy is gonna win the whole show! He’s himself
He is showing feeling when he sings. That true connection to every word and you can feel it resonate from his soul. Why does every singer have to fit a cookie cutter mold? The true legends stand out.
Katy is mega jealous her time has come and gone.
True. But it can be distracting. Perry also hates it whenever a singer closes their eyes or doesn’t make eye contact w/ her while they’re singing.
So glad you brought him back. He deserves this.
Imagine American Idol had Arena Auditions the audience would convinced and shouted Lionel and Katy "BRING HIM BACK BRING HIM BACK!!!"
wow. just wow. his style. voice. lyrics. so unique, amazing. i don’t see how he is “putting out a sound” when that is HIS sound
This dude was absolutely singing from his soul. It was beautiful. The lyrics were outstanding. And an original at that? I hope he goes far!
95.9 the Ranch in Ft Worth TX. Is playing him right now !
Wow really awesome
The song sucks. I don’t understand
If there is one thing Texas and ranches are known for producing its 💩.
With everybody trying to sound like everybody else I appreciate Jack for sounding like Jack.
O my, GOSH! I'm just replaying this on my phone and my cat's head just popped up high looking for Jack! WOW😅
HE CAN ACTUALLY POSSIBLY WIN THIS WHOLE THING HE IS IN THE TOP 3!
Couldn't believe Lionel & Katy said no to this very talented young man! Shame on you Katy for telling him no only because you didn't like the way he moved his mouth. As soon as i saw him he reminded me of another great performer on American Idol, Phillip Phillips who won season 11. We also can't forget about another amazing artist may he R.I.P. Joe Cocker and his expressions while performing. You keep being you Jack and don't change for anyone I think you'll go along way! ❤
100% she just didn’t like how he moved his mouth. You could clearly see it in her face
yes Phillip Phillips! top24 material.
Just watched this audition last night, very first comment out loud was, "This guy reminds me of Phillip Phillips". I fully don't understand where Katy nor Lionel were coming from. Seemed like Katy was taken aback by the comment about never saying "I was wrong" before as well.
Katy heard that John Mayer style guitar and his awkward faces and it pissed her off 😂
Well said!! ❤
My heart broke for him. So much natural talent and an amazing original song.
Y’all bout made me lose my mind up in here up in here!!!!! This boy is the best thing to come along in a very long time!!!!! The voice is fabulous & instantly identifiable & those lyrics are slamming!!!!!!
That was one of the better auditions I had ever seen! I can't believe they originally said no. And his song and lyrics were beautiful. He will go far!!!
We all thank the crew…this guy is freaking awesome!!!
Omg...seriously?! Thank goodness the crew spoke up! What do I hear here? Uncle Lucius, The Steeldrivers, Tyler Childers, Cody Jinks....Jack is RIGHT THERE with them. Amazing song. I will definitely be following him on social media. ❤
Joe Cocker, Paul Simon
I said Tyler Childers too!! Such an amazing voice
Xavier Rudd!
“Got this cowboy in my bones, I’ve gotta let him free”….. that one hit. I’m here for this young man! Amazing talent!
Luke's reaction to Lionel saying no is so funny, lol.
Awww! That was so nice. Thank you Luke for fighting for this young man.
I could not believe when they said no. I am with the crew on this one. He is very talented and he should go far.
Watching this the week before the finale and I still have no idea how he didn’t get 3 auto yes from the judges. I have a feeling I will be listening to him for a long time.
And what did LIonel mean by saying he's an artist, but not right for this competition? Not schlocky or generic enough?
Some people sing with their hands, his hands are occupied. Some people sing and show emotion with their eyes. This man shows his emotion for his song through his mouth and facial expressions and I felt it. Love love love.
WHAT was they thinking! Raw talent, and definitely one of the best on this show so far. I’m blown away that they said no.
Heard this yesterday. I think I’ve listened to it 100 times already. ❤
This was truly awesome! I saw it live last week and now I’m watching Idol again after like a 11 year hiatus
Thank Gawd, they came to their senses and especially the crew who knows their audience. This guy is original with so much talent and potential.
I am so glad he made it. He deserves it. Good on you Jack!
8th time watching this audition with a little cry because Jack is in Top 3 now.
This was crazy!!!!! One of the best acts I’ve seen here in years!!!!!!
What an amazingly written song!!!!! Hes unique and thats what we need!!!!!!
And he wrote it himself. That was an amazing song they’re insane. But they’re looking for the next person to sell their soul and this guys too genuine
Now that’s a very nice original song, Jack. 👏👏👏👏👏
I just love how he was happy and respectful either way it went! Very likeable young man.
Whose here after he hit top 3?!
Me
I said he would win at the start and i wont be wrong
I've been rooting him from the start based on auditions. I love that his song was 'I was wrong'.
That's why I love a good Luke on this show he knows what he is doing. Great original song to listen to Jack. ❤
That was CRAZY for them to let him go! I had a little tear forming while I he peformed it was THAT beautiful. Thank god for the crew!
I think they had to hear everyone at home simultaneously yelling, “WHAT??“ when they said no.
Respect that the crew has a say. That is priceless to me.
I can’t stop listening. What a privilege to listen to him. Love this song.
I actually loved his performance ! As he was singing the words a he was expressing the story of the song ! Watch he’s gonna make it ! Thanks Luke and Crew!
Singing is not about how your faces look like when u sing it. Yes I get a lil distracted on how he sing but damn those lyrics, how he sang his “own” song. ughh Im happy that they gave him a chance. 😊🙏🏽
100% look at Jessie J!! She doesn’t make the “prettiest” facial expressions but those are the best parts of her songs
Also curtis stigers makes alot of expressions and hes an amazing singer its a part of why we all love him❤
It does on AI.
Joe Cocker is another great singer with odd facial expressions
Loveee!!! Listened 3X in a row!!
The Crew should be The Judges, as Jack Blocker is now in the Top 3.
I hope he wins.
May Peace be upon us all.
You did the right thing by bringing him back, he has a special unique tone , his different that makes him unique. Rare undiluted smooth tone. Go for it
Dude did great. How he wasn't unanimous is baffling. Good luck Jack!
So awesome for crew to speak up!!!
Only song in the auditions thus far that I’d add to a playlist. Sang with soul, ease, control, and power. Guitar dynamic was masterful as well.
They do this dramatic stuff for the show, that audition was easily top 10 I’ve heard on the show
So true and obvious. They knew right then he might win
that's crazy, I felt his passion once he sang, This kid might win.
It's nice to get back to this audition from almost not being able to go through the auditions to becoming part of the TOP 3 ☺️
This is the only audition I have watched more than once because I want to hear the song again!
OMG First time crying for an audition !!! this guy can sing and I love it !!! the way he sang I think is what I enjoy the most. Thank goodness they brought him back. Hope Jack's can go far in the competition.
