Jack Blocker & Emmy Russell Perform "Hello" by Lionel Richie - American Idol 2024

[@DomGreco-l4c]

Jack is unreal. He keeps singing these classic songs and makes them his own in the best way possible

[@Catalystresource]

Best version ever and I love how Emmy played with the melody. Lionel was over the moon about this!

[@leaholton8924]

So glad these two were paired! These two are the most authentic and honest story telling singers on the show! I’m so proud of them both! Amazing and wonderful!

[@jacobmccain8794]

Jack’s voice on this song was so good, it just cut through so well! I had chills from the first line! That transition to head voice into a run at 1:23 was just so phenomenal! I want an entire cover from him!

[@pamelasullivan2590]

I cried listening to them sing this. Emmy & Jack need to make a record of this together. So beautiful!

[@JennaRiddle]

What an amazing beautiful duet between Jack and Emmy! Great performance guys, you’re awesome! 🤩👏🏻👍

[@robertantonnyc]

Jack set a great mood. Emmy came in with her spin on the melody, enchanting. This was very sweet. - So You Wanna Be A Singer

[@Sanity_Faire]

Her grin, knowing she did that 💫😄

[@luisacosta6846]

Emmy was the front singer in this performance. Jack was the back vocal. Emmy stood out magnificently !

[@makelifematter1896]

He definitely is my winner that was a beautiful performance ny both❤❤but I so enjoy Lionel all these years grew up on his wonderful 🎶

[@robertantonnyc]

@@makelifematter1896 Lionel has so many classic songs.

[@makelifematter1896]

@@robertantonnyc so agree

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

Both of them nailed that song and it was a beautiful tribute to Lionel Richie!

[@Gezafoko]

Jack Blocker is the real deal. He's on another level

[@jarenciogeda3930]

What?? Those melody and notes By Emmy were insanes! I got CHILLS!

[@WildRemedies]

Love Jack! And I gotta admit, this is my favorite performance Emy so far

[@HeartChannelInsights]

Wow, I think that's my favorite Emmy's rendition of the season, so far! Beautiful, made me emotional!

[@mariaroca5762]

These two are so incredible I can't stop watching.

[@ljswenson5774]

That is the most beautiful version of that song I’ve ever heard!! Loved, loved, loved it!!! Their best!!

[@jennyb5385]

To me this was by far Emmy's best performance and really showed what she's capable of. She showed off more range and accuracy, and I loved the unique spin she put on the melody. Jack was great as well, but stayed truer to the original tune, which was a little surprising considering how he has jackified other songs

[@lgin10315]

Being the gentleman he is, he let her shine, and she did! 👍😊

[@LisaMurphy]

Jack sounded so good on this and Emmy held her own -- nice blend on the harmony!

[@jacktupp4358]

I gotta say, this is the best top 8 I've seen in a very long time... maybe ever.

[@conservativegirl3371]

It’s true! So much talent!

[@gmoney_12]

Way to go Emmy! You were great!!! I’m so proud of you Emmy!!

[@mohdyusufismail1]

"I love you" by Emmy is so hauntingly good 😮❤

[@paulohenriqueaguiargomiero6030]

I’m just so proud of Jack!

[@duladi5093]

me emmy

[@cd653]

Wow... I love this song even more now. Their voices really sound beautiful together. Gave me chills❤

[@gabrielleannacormierart]

One of my two favorite duets on AI this season - both included Jack 😊 Great vocals! I could listen to it over and over ❤ Way to go Emmy and Jack!

[@HeroShades]

That was a great duet! I think Jack crushed that! Emmy was great in the duet as well and managed to keep up with Jack. Great stuff!

[@niat5851]

Definitely should be in the two for this season! Well done both of you🎉🎉

[@cratenart]

Oh this is my favorite of the whole show so far!! ❤

[@vivshij1349]

Perfect! An absolute musical treat! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@billjoedowling5197]

They both are good singers ❤

[@rebeckawetzel]

Loved!!!!

[@xuwuz]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH PLEASE BE THE TOP 2!

[@Joanne-h2x]

[@schannstewart9385]

I think it's gonna be them in the finale because they just have a way of connecting with their audience

[@bobbyspencer1577]

They did great!

[@worldsworstyoutubechannel]

This is REALLY fantastic!

[@ejyptbecca]

That was sooo Good Wow ✨✨✨ Solid performance. Lionel they did you Justice❤

[@RavenCreekCharms]

One of my favorite songs of all times, now sung by one of my favorite stars ... Emmy !! Jack you were awesome too, but I just love Emmy!!

[@gmoney_12]

I love Emmy too, so much! She is definitely a star⭐️⭐️

[@amesblaze]

Sorry but Emmy can’t sing that well compared to the others. Every song sounds the same and she doesn’t perform. I’m not getting it.

[@RavenCreekCharms]

@@amesblaze We have different tastes, I suppose, because I think she is precious and has the voice of an Angel !!

[@anitabreakone]

@@amesblazetoo bad for you.

[@MoonDragn77]

I thought Emmy sounded amazing. I think the real test is for her to sing one of those big difficult songs by someone like Adel and see if she has a full range but her voice is very unique, even more so than her Grandmother in my opinion.

[@jenepene422]

Love this!!

[@Soirse8]

Sounded pretty terrific to me .👏

[@lucidarose613]

He is awesome!

[@lancehiemstra8264]

Great song and favorite singers

[@debbiesmitherman9295]

Jack was omg so amazing with this song . Emmy was amazing as well. ❤

[@Divinagracia30]

Superb ❤❤

[@sshms414]

I wish one year a few contestants would make a group. I love seeing two bery different talents singing together.

[@soniashelzi2237]

I thought that was beautiful ❤

[@67Star65]

... brilliant!!!

[@r3i2x]

Jack has a very unique voice. I could tell its him singing even my eyes close. The only contestant with an original voice and distinct vocal techniques. You are awesome Jack.

[@Nutmeg1644]

Wow they sounded so good. Emmy gave a little sweet twist and it works. The end is perfect. Yes! Top 2 please. 😅

[@guyluvsbeauty]

They would make a great duo and even a great marriage match!

[@ruthyanne-fl4my]

Just beautiful!! ❤️

[@LindaMarhelski-jx3su]

So beautiful 💝💐

[@AmandaJYoungs]

I just love Jack Blocker. He's so likeable and he always sounds like himself, even if he doesn't go for a lot of flash runs and big belting songs. This is a lovely duet.

[@marjoriehopkins1630]

This was absolutely beautiful! I just love Jack Blocker!

[@scotttefft5868]

Wow!

[@AllyandTessShipper-rp6my]

These are my top 2 favs left. I hope they make finale

[@Millaxnicole]

This duo was PERFECT.

[@mariaroca5762]

This is the duet of the century!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kathyh.3384]

Simply amazing!❤❤

[@tamis479]

My favorite duo/group performance of the night

[@karenwebbkryder6562]

I’m happy Emmy has been given more opportunity than most. The attention and time that’s been given to her is beautiful--but there is not time in a show to do this for everyone…unfortunately. Jack is freaking amazing! And whether his time on this show was orchestrated or not--it’s another beautiful thing to behold. My $$$ is on Jack all the way♥️🙏♥️

[@roniwerner4598]

❤ Loveeeee

[@scottfreeman528]

Great duet! The two of them paired together sang that song beautifully

[@ilahmaecunanan2629]

Hello is one of my favorite songs ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Seen Lionel sing this live… a dark room. Baby Grand piano comes up from floor and in a distance you hear…”hello… Lionel steps out in the dark, smoked filled room in a white Tuxedo. Amazing different version though. Great remix.
