Hey there, guys. How you doing? Man, it's good to see y'all. Did you earn that uniform honest? I was hoping you wouldn't ask. Not at all. I bought it at a Goodwill. Well, what's your name? My name is Jack Blocker. I'm from Dallas, Texas. I'm a graphic designer and an artist. Wow, I got you. Living here in Nashville right now. What are you going to sing today? I'm going to sing an original. It's called "I Was Wrong." Katie has never uttered those words. Never said it? Yeah. - All right. Let's hear it. All right. Cool, cool, cool. [ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYING] N/A (SINGING) I need to ride up through the plains of Texas, far as the eye can see. Need to make a million dollars, play the slots and make it three. I got this cowboy in my bones. I got to let him free. N/A Oh, I ain't rust and feathers, then I worth being a member when I leave. N/A Well, I was wrong. Ooh, I was wrong. N/A You have my heart, I have yours, and it's all I need and more. Ooh, I was wrong. N/A I need to build myself a castle in the scorching August heat, use the hands I proudly calloused out there pouring that concrete. Ain't no time for taking slow if I'm the hand that feeds. N/A Ain't much luck for honest betters. Once you die, you can't get deader. Play for keeps. N/A Burn the steel and press your leather. Never tied up in the debtor's chain and keys. N/A I was wrong. Oh, I was wrong. N/A You have my heart, I have yours, and it's all I need and more. Ooh, I was wrong. N/A All right. [APPLAUSE] Thank you so much. Thank you. - All right, Jack. - Thank you, guys. I think you have a really good sounding voice. I think you're doing some bad habits with the way you're delivering. I don't know if you're doing this intentionally to get out a sound or if that's your signature, but I think that-- I don't know if anyone's ever told you any of this. - No. - OK. Well, that's why we're here. Yeah. I appreciate. It felt like a little put on. You were really stretching to get to this note. And you can just sing this note and be a little bit more relaxed about it. Understood. Thank you. I just want to let you know that you're such an artist. And I just want to put that stamp on you. We know your competition, and that's what we're here for. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I kind of think, what would Paul Simon's audition have looked like? Good, good. Good suggestion. It would have looked like what you kind of just did. That means a lot. I liked it. Very good. It was different. - I can vote. - Good. Go for it. I'm a yes. Thank you, Luke. Jack, for "Idol," I'm a no. But I appreciate your artistry. Thank you, Katy. [SIGHS] N/A All right, stars above. What the hell stars above mean? Yeah, I know. That's what stars above. Did you say stars above to kill time? No, I didn't say stars above-- That's like me going, bass fishing. N/A [SIGHS] - OK. All right. OK, it's going to have to be a no for me at this point. [SCREAMS] All right. I appreciate you guys. It's all right. - Thanks, Jack. All right. Thank you guys. - Thanks, man. - Yeah. N/A Here comes Jack now. Man, that was-- I heard screaming. - I didn't get it. - What was going on? That was close, right? - It was close. I think it was close. Yeah, I love you too. Right up at the edge. They were on the fence it felt like. It was close, yeah. I saw something in that boy. You did? Y'all let him go. Can we get him back? We can't get him back. It's too much. Oh god! - Well, good luck. - It was a good experience. Great to meet you, man. Thanks a lot. Tell your mom hi. - Will do. Yeah. - See you, buddy. Thank you. Crew, let's do a crew vote. Crew vote.
