The guy who was judged to have the worst facial expressions, came out to be the one who has the best facial expressions. This performance was perfection, Jack.

[@carolynbuckley8733]

Always works like that. Rudolph the red nose reindeer

[@carolreid8055]

This guy is the best idol yet

[@timothinking9855]

No it's what Katy Perry said... A woman who doesn't feel her on music because she doesn't write it and she sings poppy garbage

[@michellfalsely9325]

Absolutely! And the young man is just as genuine as it gets! Just a pure kind soul .

[@louisconforti7448]

This wasn’t only Jack’s best performance - it was the best performance by any of the contestants this season. I wish he would record it. This guy is the American Idol in my opinion. He’s got all my votes.

[@enzobostonterrier3473]

Wow haven’t watched this year but this popped up on FB had to listen although I know none of the competitors are this guy has my vote!!!!!

[@samanthaplans2023]

He is my favorite too. He's amazing.

[@jessicadurham8708]

Took the words out of my mind

[@maggiedavis8377]

❤ ❤❤❤❤

[@MichelleJohnston-h7r]

He won in my heart ❤️

[@TGni-j5z]

No flashy lights, flashy outfit, or excessive runs. Just "Jack" and his voice. I love all of the contestants, but this hits differently.

[@ladymctech2515]

One of the best male contestants ever

[@corogirl88]

Jack really needs to release this version. Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.Beautiful

[@djwinchell]

Give me goosebumps! every time I listen to him sing this song.

[@artbrendawaldoch6024]

I have listened to this hundreds of times, and I tear up every time! Incredible! Full version please Jack!

[@justinlee3017]

Jack let this song breathe and didn't add any unnecessary fillers. He absolutely deserves to be in the finale.

[@rachelguyah1511]

We need these types of singers again. Patient, pure, emotive … forces you to pause, breathe, enjoy, feel.

[@stephanienorthcutt1309]

Yes! He really took what Gene Simmons said and kept applying it. Great coach and great singer.

[@shelliknapp5622]

He’s such a pure singer …

[@MsRocker961]

I think he should win

[@Millaxnicole]

Absolutely agree.

[@dawnkaestner]

Wow--just wow! That song has never made me cry until now. This man is the real deal. Take it home, Jack!

[@ianmuzzey9720]

I thought I was the only one that welled up with tears. Both this song and believe by Cher just hit different. Both made me shed a tear because he’s realizing the artist he’s meant to be in realtime and it just feels so special watching him perform. A lot of good talent this year but no other artist has moved me to tears with their voice alone.

[@ladymctech2515]

One of the best male contestants ever

[@worldsworstyoutubechannel]

This was exceptional. One of the most moving I’ve ever seen on Idol. Most people sing the beautiful words, but Jack has been the first to mean it. It was an admission, an apology, a fight for the relationship, and a promise. Everything was there, and it REALLY just felt incredible, right through the TV. One of the truly great Idol performances.

[@JohnPisano-rc7xn]

How are you doing​@@icenine8793

[@robvonk79]

You nailed it, he nailed it. You sing a tune, but you tell a song. He made sure you heard every word just the way he wanted you to. It was brilliant.

[@krazykat1547]

Well done👏

❤❤❤❤

[@MisterKelisi]

This is what I’ve been saying… he is SO connected to every song he sings. So beautiful. No excessive runs. No showman business. So beautiful. I’m going to be voting for the first time for Jack. My mind is made up for this year’s American Idol winner ^^^^^^

[@KSweetone]

To me...this was the most moving and compelling performance I have ever seen on Idol since its beginning. There is just something about Jack. If he does not win this whole thing, I will be shocked. He is unraveling more and more of himself with his unique voice each and every week.

[@connieburr2411]

Only one other Fantasia Summertime

[@kmoon50]

VOTE FOR JACK ... he is the only one i would actually pay money to go and hear... He is so unique.. and... humble... i can't say enough.

[@ladymctech2515]

I totally agree with you about shelling out money to see someone.

[@karipogue5647]

Agree

[@cyresesciandra1924]

Totally agree. But I also like Tom as well

[@sheryllmartin1799]

The way jack sang this gave me chills

[@jerrycaskey4530]

I hope Willie is proud. Jack knocked it out of the park and may have just won the whole thing. This was INCREDIBLE!!

[@mindywerth]

I cannot get enough of Jack's rendition! I've lost track of how many times I've listened.

[@kevenadrien]

0:56 - Up until this point, I was scared to see how he would navigate his way without his guitar, his safety blanket. But then he opened up his voice, his hand gestures became one with the words he was singing, and out came his greatest performance yet. Every star has that one standout moment, and this was his. He absolutely killed it. He made me feel the song in a completely different way. God, I can’t get enough of it. Stellar. Flawless. But most importantly, it just oozed out of him. The way he sings really is an art.

[@spearen]

> stellar. flawless. sublime. transcendent. And Ryan mentioned after the song ended - the pointing, the hands, they were it.

[@jeffdavis4764]

One of my all time favorite performances of any year

[@windsup2day]

I love his voice...his heart...his gentle demeanor and most importantly his humble, quiet nature. The dark horse is picking up speed racing to the finish line. He is so incredibly likeable! He wasn't originally my pic for the win, but I would be thrilled if he did. What a lovely human with an endearing soul.

[@ashleyvance4816]

Wow! Goose bumps all over! What an amazing cover of a beautfully written song! Next to Willie this was the best anybody else has ever done on this classic ballad! Jack is exactly where he deserves to be in this contest!

[@louieadam251]

He owns the stage with simple melody . He is good.

[@k.7.l.m]

My goodness. I truly love this rendition. He has so much conviction in his voice. I wish it was longer.

[@bjojo2010]

In the history of American Idol, I think this is my favorite performance ever. They were going to vote this young man off of the show and the camera crew knew what they were doing. Go for it Jack cause I’ll be buying your Records.

[@Steve-lk1eb]

It’s mesmerizing. I can listen to it on repeat.

[@hwdan3096]

Great song choice to be playing on Willie's birthday! 91 today!

[@Thomas-fk3cw]

No one has ever sung this song better than Willie. Including Elvis.

[@amyahn231]

Having had some time to reflect after the end of the season, I can safely say this is the performance of the season for me. So raw, emotionally connected, sincere and beautiful.

[@khalil7232]

This is one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. The nuance, detail, voice - omg

[@joemark0211]

I am now convinced. He should win this thing!

[@ianmuzzey9720]

He changed my mind with his last 2 performances

[@kingky187]

Jack is a talented musician, a great song writer, he sings from the soul, he’s likeable, he’s got an incredible voice, he’s a phenomenal story teller, he can sing any genre, he makes you feel emotions, and he can successfully put his unique spin to original songs. Not to mention it’s a Cinderella story that he almost didn’t make it through auditions. No other contestant has the full package like Jack! He’s got the it factor.

[@CaptainBucky03]

I 100% agree!!

[@arod6689]

This is the best american idol performance ive ever witnessed. His voice is incredible.

[@jeyjey5741]

By far one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on this show. He’s who I’ve got picked to win it all. Super talented young man.

[@edenbrutus6425]

Jack is the most deserving winner for his consistency

[@reflectcw]

Performance of the night! Dude was on another level!

[@CaptainBucky03]

Agreed!!

[@entropysmith6965]

I’d go so far as to say it’s the performance of the season, to this point.

[@ojarkitoks5497]

This was his best performance by far. It almost made me cried at the end especially with that falsetto. His voice cut through my soul and heart, it was amazing!!! Y'all should vote for this man till the end 😭😭

[@markgiesken2267]

One of the best Idol performances ever

[@yxuen3051]

it's like the moments of Philip Phillips's We've got tonight & Kris Allen's Heartless

[@vincent2ice]

Timeless, storytelling, and all the feels. Love the pace and control.

[@paulohenriqueaguiargomiero6030]

I’m proud of Jack, it’s amazing to see his growth. He could definitely win this!

[@SheilaPhifer-sn9ij]

I cried like a baby when I heard this performance. Simple and beautiful

[@DevinSumer]

he’s the only one standing out

Agreed

[@madisynruoff1891]

So true

[@ErikHug]

Him and Abi IMO

[@roundearthshill248]

Jack is my favorite but I believe Abi and Emmy are also standing out. I hope they end up final 3

[@JiemarkVlogs]

This is a complete seasoned rendition ive heard so far.. the low notes the high notes the falsetto are complementing each other to deliver a perfect performance.. 👏👏👏👏

[@debrarust2973]

I can’t stop listening to this!! I’m shook!!

[@feciron9289]

This is one song by Jack Blocker I like to listen to again and again and again. It's beautiful in every which way. Jack has it all. I like the way he's just so relaxed when he sings. He makes you feel relaxed too. Si humble and sweet, very unassuming. Great personality too,

[@depressb]

best performance of this season

[@meatle]

This guy pours it all in to his song. You can't ask for more than that.

[@katiepilcher3004]

I can’t stop listening😭 I tear up everytine

[@LisaMurphy]

What a beautiful arrangement of this song. And what a great sound and fantastic delivery from Jack. I thought last night's performance was great, but this was even better.

[@robertantonnyc]

interesting approach, very emphatic, hitting every syllable. Song really kicked in when he started wailing on the sustained notes. He was making his case.

[@skyemaclachlan5182]

I read all of your comments because they're just that good. But this comment is the season winner!

[@LisaMurphy]

And my wish for a more serious, heartfelt performance was granted!

He’s got this different kind of genius to him. He could sing Humpty Dumpty at the Opera and I’d pay for it. Just a story in the voice and I’m thankful he gets to tell that story

[@carlalust817]

He's my favorite! Amazing!!!!

[@SarahxScalia]

This was absolutely incredible in every way. WOW. It was just about his voice. He let the song be what it was and didn’t add any fluff. Absolute perfection.

Jack connected with this song so well. He made it so real, so emotional, and so believable. What a great performance. One of my favorite of the season.

And to think Katy and Lionel didn't want him and gave him a no... Thank goodness for Luke and the crew that fought for him.

[@donnabordelon9662]

@@yxuen3051 how so?

[@Porta160k]

@@yxuen3051Funny…I’ve had the same feeling ever since the audition. I know many reality shows are really scripted and fake. Heck, even Shark Tank revealed when asked said it’s all about entertainment. But I don’t think anyone knew how amazing Jack would be. And if he wins, wow, what a story for American Idol! Up until recently, I thought Abi or McKenna would win easily. But Jack has come on strong. Luke nailed it saying his performance was spiritual, and he sang with heart and soul. I’ve never voted on AI before but I’m going to start!

Amazing refresh on the classic "You Were Always On My Mind", giving whole new meaning and genuine sentiment. In maybe the strongest American Idol class ever, with so many valid potential winners, I really just don't think we can let Josh Blocker go with anything less than the full win! His facial expressions will be as legendary as Elvis Presley's famous lip curl. Standing by all the contestants, judges, guests, and families. (And hoping this season changes Katy Perry's mind to stay longer). Fantastic job, truly memorable listen for people.
