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. - Розваги
One of the few singers who doesn’t over sing or push his vocal to the painful limits and turn off the listeners. Sings from the heart and radiates beauty.
Every week, Jack ignores the mentor, ignores the judges and just does his own thing. Phillip Phillips did the exact same thing the year he won.
Love this young man! Deserves to win it all💚
@@cyndystephens1260amen! Facts!!!🫶🏼💙
I can listen to him all day, all night. I'm a fan since day one.
Same! I will eventually sew him in concert. Singing his own songs
putting his spin on Cher, ballsy. It sounded good in his voice, focused attention on the lyric, esp loved the bridge. He dug in, got personal, brought in a lil rasp. He was enjoying this performance, sustaining those high notes. Sweet. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
Unbelievable that we knew the top 8 before we got to see this beautiful performance!
I like this guy.. He definitely was enjoying this performance and so was I. Nice work Jack!
@@knottylinda-leathercrafter9605 Maybe they have an intern working on the postings...
@@knottylinda-leathercrafter9605 so weird I was trying to check back and forth! He was first singer but only his video didn’t show up all channels??? WEIRD???
You're definitely right. It took balls to do a song like this. But I'd had to say, I'm pretty sure she's gonna have a chance to see this video, but I'm pretty damn sure that she would be proud of him also
He is wonderful. Loved him from day 1. Joe Cocker used to make all those facial expressions. This boy is great.
I love him and Abi, but when he sings I feel something in my heart :’)
Exactly
He is great, voice, looks, personality and choice of the right songs.
He just has loads of confidence. Love this guy.
What's with all his face grimaces? That's what I don't want to know.
I know...he toned it down a lot from his initial audition tho......But his voice is really good. He deserves votes
Yes Jack climbing the beanstalk
For real, Right?! He was fantastic
Good one for our Quirky Jack!!!... He went far, despite one or several of the judges wanting to boot him earlier on.
Most memorable performance of the evening. Jack’s sweet spots are his vocal flips, falsetto and phrasing. He’s been putting his own spin on songs and successfully checking off the challenge. I was taken back when I heard he was singing that Cher classic, but he slowed it down, put a twist on it and sailed to the top 8. Go Jack! Still on the Blocker train, which is headed to the finale, at least I hope.
I immediately thought it was a great song choice -- this song has great words and a wonderful melody. I fully expected he was not going to do the disco version!
I’m rooting for you Jack!
Another perfect song choice and flawless vocal from my winner pick! Just so many interesting vocal colors and textures in his voice. Such a storyteller voice! This performance just built so perfectly! I literally feel like I’m watching his tour every time he performs.
The solid one this season
This could be the perfect story him winning and getting no’s at his audition I love him
His song choices are consistently unexpected and excellent. And Katy doesn't miss with her advice, him reigning down his facial expressions gradually is making him sound less strained and more smooth. I liked him from the beginning and he's just improved over the course of the competition.
Him, Julia, and Mckenna should be the final 3 of the 8 that are left I feel.
Why not Abi?
I love Jack's version of " Believe." He sang it beautifully. Way to go, Jack!! 👏👏👏🎉🥳❤️
This man really know what songs to sing❤
This was sick his rendition of all the songs he plays and makes it his own is incredible 😊
Cher would definitely be proud of him for certain
This was enjoyable to listen to. What a great song choice. Can't believe what a great job he did on this beautiful song!
I am so glad he got this opportunity!! ❤❤❤
Love his spin on this - bet Cher is loving it!!!!
He is the best.
What a cool rendition man, Still really wanted to see him on top 5, please America vote for this dude
❤cher would be proud jack you did an amazing job❤
I doubt Cher could care less. She didn't write the song.
My immediate reaction: "Cher? uff good luck brother..."
But this literally had me smiling the entire time... what an amazingly executed cover/rendition in his own style 👏
Same
Ok he's now my number 1 after this performance
I always saying this...
OH MY GOD, WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE😱
He is so awesome. loved him since they said no.
This was so nice. It's such a difference when a singer feels him or herself a part of the story -- it shows in the little things they do: little spontaneous looks and movements. Either a singer feels the spirit and meaning of the song or they don't and in most cases with these Idol contestants, they don't. This show is mostly about fake emotion and trying to look the part because they're unable to feel it.
Watching this a second time with headphones on - wow! The band and the arrangement are really exceptional. Back up singers sound great too. This is why I watch this show!
That"s the difference, he feels the story! Taking singing lessons being able to hit the right notes is not everything in performing... Song writers/artists write these songs because it is something they have been through or has great meaning to them! Many contestants get up there and hit all the right notes maybe add a little flare but there is something missing.... I just love him and hope the best for him in his career....
@@lauriegordon5591 Yes! And how many times do the judges & coaches have to tell these contestants that it's all about the story ? A good song is a magical melding of a story expressing something real with melody. All the great songs and singers take you somewhere emotionally. But for a singer to just hit the notes and make gestures -- that's really not singing.
Well said!
Jack made me want to listen to this song again and I loved his cover giving us more of the story of the song. He just gave the song so much more soul. I could see him doing a video standing alone out in the desert under a that orange-pink-red sunset. He gave the song a western, not country, just that type of Cowboy soul. ✨A+✨
Refreshing.
I like the song choice, like how you REALLY tried to keep your facial expressions appropriate for the sentiment of this song, Jack. MUCH improved! 👏👏👏
Make him win! He deserves to win no question Periodt!
Jack Blocker is my favourite this season.
I haven’t seen many but he would still be my favorite
It’s unfortunate he’s about to be gone
That was really hot dam good. Awesome job!
That was my surprise favorite performance that Jack Blocker did on this show! Very impressive rendition and arrangement!
You made Cher "PROUD" & Then Some!!!
My favorite Cher song
He’s awesome!
Pretty cool spin in a
Cher song. Showed a diff side to his singing. Kudos Jack
This song wasn't written by Cher! Has she ever even written a song? It was written by six very seasoned songwriters. If they were watching last night I would think they loved it.
Bravo Jack! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Definitely top five. Look forward to more.
Love Jack’s voice and personality. ❤
One of my favorite contestants
Love this guy!
I love him and his voiceeee!!! Amazin renditionnnn
❤ aww #JackBlocker your the real deal!
You want this and it shows. Your headed up a mountain to success. Enjoy the ride but NEVER change. U R A 🌟 bright.❤
All I can say is that CHER WOULD BE PROUD !!!!
LOVED IT !!🙂
What an absolutely incredible performance. WOW! Loved it!
The next Idol ❤ total❤ package!
I love how his awkward mouth placement is improving. This is the best performance of him so far, that long note is eargasm.
I think the mouth thing was a put on.
@@LisaMurphyI completely disagree. I think he really didn’t even think about it, it is just how he expresses. Now that it has been pointed out to him he is clearly making an effort to reign it in. But he falls back into it especially when he is really into the moment. Plus his is not a personality to put on airs for the sake of it. He strikes me as being a bit shy still, very easy going and laid back. Frankly why would anyone deliberately pull those faces? It nearly prevented him from getting into the show. He recognizes this now.
@@bearnpici I think he was putting it on when he sang Cheatin Heart. His expressions looked freakish. As to Jack always being authentic, that Bob Dylan song was over the top. Whatever. The guy is super good , I think we can agree on that.
One of the best singers I have heard in a long time!!! Just love Jack Blocker!!!!
I just love him❤
I just can't believe how good you are doing when you sing every week and you getting better and better at it so good luck tonight
What a nice version! The words came across so well!
The dark haired beauty near the end in the crowd. 😍😍😍😍😍
Love love love Jack ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just love hearing him sing
I just want to add that I like rhe way he pulls his face to get notes. It makes him instantly recognizable and unique. Love it.
Best performance of the night
Love this guy!! My favorite!❤
Excellent version. It’s quite emotive!
When they said he was doing Believe I was afraid (for him) that he was going to attempt the arrangement Adam Lambert did at the Kennedy Center Honors for Cher… which was brilliant. But he truly did put his own special twist on it and I liked it!!! Its the mark of a great song when you can arrange it several ways and it’s still amazing.
I think it is also the mark of a great artist that can take a song and make it their own! 😊
He is my favorite!
LOVEEEE IT!!! 🔥
such a beautiful version of this song!
Loved it!!! ❤❤
love him!
My favorite of the night!
amazing! ✌️
WINNER!
❤ Another Amazing Cover Stellar Performance Jack Blocker ❤
It sounds like this is what this song should sound like as the original. He’s been clearly head and shoulders above the rest in terms of being an overall artist. Phenomenal.
Really great performance … had me swaying and singing along!
Loved this performance. His sound his his own and I enjoyed it. 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE THIS! Great artistic choice💙🎶
Adam Lambert’s version with a Jack twist. Awesome. ❤
Love him one of my favorites
unfortunately i am in love with him and idk what to do with this
Fantastic ❤❤❤❤
go jack u betta sang
Goosebumps
Fantastic
I see again, my favorite presentation
My top 3 ❤️
I have other favorites still in the competition, but Jack is the unicorn. Might win it. Judging by the UA-cam views, he is winning right now.
Really good!
#1: I love this song when Cher put it out!!
#2: I remember when Katy gave him a NO, and look at him now 👍❤️💜👍👍👍👍
Good luck and keep being true to yourself
Perfect
So good
I really enjoyed this
WOW!
so good
Love it
He's awesome!!! Soooo talented. Can't wait to get to hear much more of his music 🎶🎶
❤❤❤
Jack always sounds awesome because I love the style he puts in a song . He’s just a good singer ! You go Jack .
Jack I don’t know if you read these but please don’t follow the advice Luke and Katy are giving you. I thought you DID have a blast singing that song! One does not need to run all over the stage to engage an audience. Some like yourself can simply draw people in with their raw voice. You have such a wonderful imagination with your vocal choices using some rasp, some growl, some falsetto and overall decisions in melody. It is truly a pleasure. You are on another level and whatever happens you will have a career moving forward. Congratulations.
I love this song and Jack did a good version of it. Go Jack
