Ooh, Darlin'! Jordan McCullough Soars On Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" – American Idol 2026

Doo-doo-doo, let me hear you say, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. We were as one, babe, for a moment in time. And it seemed everlasting that you would always be mine. Now you want to be free, so I let you fly. Cause I know in my heart, babe, our love will never die, no. If you want to stay, darling, I'm proud of you, definitely. Definitely, babe. Oh, don't you know you can't escape? Oh, darling. Cause you'll always be my baby. I know we'll be back. You'll be right back, yeah. Cause when your days and your nights get a little bit colder, oh, oh, oh, oh. You'll be right back. Oh, baby, believe me, it's only a matter of time, time. And definitely. Don't you know you can't escape? Oh, baby. Don't you know you can't escape? You will always.
