One of the best male contestants ever

[@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]

❤ ❤❤❤❤

[@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.

[@nathanreyes3819]

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.

[@DanTumaMedia]

I feel like we are in the midst of witnessing history being made.

[@CaptainBucky03]

Amen brother

[@jacksongary8656]

Outstanding

[@shelliknapp5622]

I have goosebumps !

[@sandydean4384]

❤❤❤❤

[@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!

[@sommers422]

Best Idol song ever sung!!! Jack for the WIN!!! Love your voice and everything about the way you sing!!! Keep doing YOU Jack!! Katy should have cried bc she was so wrong!!!😘❤️😘

[@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 ^^^^^^

[@jeffdavis4764]

One of my all time favorite performances of any year

[@user-vc8vc6bq9n]

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

[@JohnnygSawyer]

How can you not love this kid?

[@UnrealisticRealm]

The dude has an immaculate taste in music.

[@bearnpici]

I can’t quit watching this.

[@khalil7232]

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

[@corogirl88]

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

[@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.

[@worldsworstyoutubechannel2153]

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.

[@icenine8793]

The empty spaces in between the words made it for me.

[@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👏

[@mindywerth]

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

[@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

[@jerrycaskey4530]

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

[@joemark0211]

I am now convinced. He should win this thing!

[@ianmuzzey9720]

He changed my mind with his last 2 performances

[@debrarust2973]

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

[@user-fp2pp7qj8u]

No words…just beautiful and sung with so much emotion. Luv this!! Jack Blocker, keep this up and you will win America Idol❤️❤️

[@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.

[@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.

[@carriedolha788]

I've listened to this about 100 times already. Love how beautiful being "different" can be..... Reminds me that we all have our own beauty regardless of what others opinions are. ❤

[@tamis479]

Me too 😂 I just love it! I've been replaying this one, Emmy and the duet they did together singing hello. Those three songs stood out the most to me last night. Nothing fancy, no screaming high pitches, just simplicity. I loved it.

[@Nutmeg1644]

So true. Idk why I kept watching this video. His voice here is so special. The song really suits his voice ❤

[@bbalonso5852]

Me too😂

[@mercyborlongan750]

I started crying half of your performance and I can’t stop watching it over and over❤️

[@louieadam251]

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

[@sheryllmartin1799]

The way jack sang this gave me chills

[@ibstayfly]

He's my favorite handsdown

[@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.

[@k.7.l.m]

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

[@amyrausa5051]

Jack Blocker is everybody’s favorite in this American idol season.. and I’m one of them 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@arod6689]

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

[@HebbleTyson]

Jack gets all my votes. I really look forward to hear what this heart-powered guy is going to sing next. And I am certain I'm gonna love it! I know Jack feels what he's singing; he's not just performing. Love this guy!

[@TracyRogers-du2qn]

Best performance of the night........ I thought!!!

[@robertirwin7016]

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.

[@debragills2119]

Talent? Through the roof! VOTE JACK BLOCKER!

[@depressb]

best performance of this season

[@rsalvador]

If this doesn't sound like something from heaven, I dunno what is. Outstanding Jack Blocker! Bravo

[@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.

[@katrinalma1]

One of the all time BEST performances on Idol! Way to go Jack ❤🎉😊

[@mamarmst]

Perfection. Possibly my favorite idol performance of all time. Just wow.

[@SheilaPhifer-sn9ij]

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

[@edenbrutus6425]

Jack is the most deserving winner for his consistency

[@dfm8425]

I can listen to this over and over again - so beautiful

[@clare2439]

Same here!

[@conservativegirl3371]

Showstopper and chills. Way to go Jack!

[@NeelyGrace]

JACK YOU DID AMAZING! 👇

[@ChristianAVS]

His Best performance. IMO

[@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.

[@RA82828]

@@Thomas-fk3cwlol that's not the issue here, bro.

[@sunnyvaleria889]

This performance was Perfection and my favorite. I wish he would record this. He is only 25 years old and as an older AI fan I just love him. Congratulations on top 3 winners. No matter what, give him a recording contract. We need artists like him. ❤❤👏👏👏👏

[@DevinSumer]

he’s the only one standing out

[@CaptainBucky03]

Agreed

[@madisynruoff1891]

Yes

[@jen4um]

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

[@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

[@chrisbrown2556]

My winner. He reminded me of Fritz Hager from his audition alone and he’s still going strong

[@rbak2679]

I don't know how many times I have watched this performance

[@lynnworth59]

Jack and his rendition will always be on my mind. Absolutely stunning. Way to slay it Jack.

[@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.. 👏👏👏👏

[@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,

[@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.

[@DeniseJohnson-yj2ki]

There is a pureness in his delivery of whatever song he sings and he does his own arrangements to make each one so wonderful to listen to. Love this young man and what a role model for America he is.

[@octavianotovar2850]

Omg he is awesome. He is a star . I can't stop listening to this song . It has been a long time since someone has sang like this. it's a different level of sing .

[@rommel6116]

I have watched idol since it started. This is is the only performance that I felt in my heart . God’s will be done . Wishing him nothing but the best.

[@sharein1970]

I had tears streaming just from the beauty of Jack. He's the one. ❤

[@vincent2ice]

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

[@meatle]

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

[@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 😭😭

[@nelsonmiaarenas]

For me you are the American Idop 2024! Congratulatins Jack Blocker

[@HeroShades]

That was honestly the best Jack has sounded all season so far. He gave his best performance of the night and sounded amazing! I felt every word.

[@ireneperes5907]

My Winner, never lets us down. A natural

[@barbaraelliott3605]

It just gets better each time I listen to it!!!!!!

[@lavedadenier5158]

Oh how I hope this kid wins Idol. He is tremendously talented and his sweet expression on his face tells alot about his personality. The truth is he is a double for my grandson who is only 17 and I know Jack is older. Good luck Jack. Hope you win.

[@joshuamorgan877]

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

[@Eurovirgo80]

I really like this version-especially when Jack belts out those chest notes and gets into his falsetto.

[@broncogeorge]

Oh my word that boy gives it his all. And feels it so deeply, so we can too. Just wonderful

[@mattmusicaddict9183]

This has been Jack's BEST performance for the entire season!!

[@llcoolray3000]

One of the most beautifulest things Ive ever heard.❤

[@CheriGoering-lb9gr]

I've listened to Jack sing this song multiple times, and is still makes me tear up! What a beautiful soul. It makes you feel connected. Pure in every way. I WILL be buying your CD!

[@carlalust817]

He's my favorite! Amazing!!!!

[@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!!

[@dianegregoire5731]

My absolute fav performance. I would download this in a minute.\ Go Jack --- praying for you!

[@CR7Inspired.21M]

No pity stories just pure talent...Jack Forest Blocker:)

[@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!
