Don't rock the juke box. I wanna hear some jones. My heart ain't ready for the rolling stones. I don't feel like rocking since my baby's gone. So don't rock the jukebox, play me a country song Before you drop that quarter, keep one thing in mind You got a heartbroke hillbilly standing here in line And don't rock the jukebox, I wanna hear George Jones Don't rock the jukebox, play me a country song Alan Jackson was my first concert in 1994. I was 11. Love me some Alan. Do you perhaps have another song that kind of showcases your vocals a little more? I can certainly do that for you. I'm gonna do, uh, Goodbye Time by Conway Twitty. Oh, hell. Don't tell me you like that song. I was singing it all day. It's your life. Oh. Come on, baby. Don't all the dreams we've seen come true mean anything? Oh. All right. You know what, Kerry? You say it's different now. You keep staring at the door There you go. Yes. How can you walk away? Don't I matter anymore? If the feeling's gone, words won't stop you anyway If being free is worth what you leave behind And if it's too late for love For love, I like that. Just ain't so mine And it's goodbye time Oh, yeah. Good job. All right. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. All right. I got the information that I wanted out of that. There's such a sweet spot in your voice that that song really brought out. Thank you. If you end up going through to Hollywood when we ask you to sing different genres, like, be yourself. Yeah. For sure. But definitely think about how you're going to navigate different situations. Yes, ma'am. Kerry's right. I want to hear more of who you are. And I mean, I love the timbre. You're going to carve your way out now and start making your sound. Gotcha. Lionel said what my heart was thinking. I don't know. I don't know if vocally is there to make it through many, many rounds of American Idol. But I think you've got a nice voice. You've got a lot of great tools. That last song certainly showed us that. I'm a yes. I went from no to yes. Great. Thank you. Is it because I asked for the other song? Yes. That's exactly right. I got you. That's exactly right. It's a yes for me. Thank you. And hallelujah, hallelujah. It's a yes for me. You're going to Hollywood. There's so many of them. There's a lot of them.
