Like, I love that you picked kind of a more up -tempo, groovy song, 239 00:30:19,230 --> 00:30:22,870 because this would be the chance for a lot of people to do, like, big, slow 240 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:25,470 songs, and you kind of went a different direction. I think that's going to 241 00:30:25,470 --> 00:30:27,690 differentiate you tonight a little bit. Very good.

All right, so 767 01:26:36,950 --> 01:26:40,250 let me tell you something. Out of all the classes, this is probably the most 768 01:26:40,250 --> 01:26:41,250 diverse. 769 01:26:45,019 --> 01:26:46,260 configuration of genre. 770 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:51,700 You all have managed to sparkle us again to the point where we don't know where 771 01:26:51,700 --> 01:26:54,560 you're coming from.

You 777 01:27:09,090 --> 01:27:14,090 alive. But then it also gives people the chance to rise to the occasion and show 778 01:27:14,090 --> 01:27:16,450 us what they got. And I definitely felt that tonight. 779 01:27:17,270 --> 01:27:18,770 Luke, how do you choose? 780 01:27:19,650 --> 01:27:23,850 I don't know how America chooses. You've got to trust your gut as a voter at 781 01:27:23,850 --> 01:27:29,990 home and just pick the people that pick the artists that are on stage. Just make 782 01:27:29,990 --> 01:27:31,990 you smile, make you laugh, make you cry. 783 01:27:34,460 --> 01:27:38,860 I don't know how America's going to do it.
