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.
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.
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.
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 ^^^^^^
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.
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.
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!
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!!!😘❤️😘
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.
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.
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. ❤
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.
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 .
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,
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 😭😭
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.. 👏👏👏👏
interesting approach, very emphatic, hitting every syllable. Song really kicked in when he started wailing on the sustained notes. He was making his case.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
The best performance of the night! Jack Blocker gave its best! The emotion he shared, the phrasing of the song very beautiful, and his vocal technique brilliant!
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.
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.
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. ❤❤👏👏👏👏
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.
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.
Always works like that. Rudolph the red nose reindeer
This guy is the best idol yet
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
Absolutely! And the young man is just as genuine as it gets! Just a pure kind soul .
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.
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!!!!!
He is my favorite too. He's amazing.
Took the words out of my mind
❤ ❤❤❤❤
He won in my heart ❤️
Jack let this song breathe and didn't add any unnecessary fillers. He absolutely deserves to be in the finale.
We need these types of singers again. Patient, pure, emotive … forces you to pause, breathe, enjoy, feel.
Yes! He really took what Gene Simmons said and kept applying it. Great coach and great singer.
He’s such a pure singer …
I think he should win
Absolutely agree.
Unbelievable! I get chills every time I listen to this. Jack is amazing!
No flashy lights, flashy outfit, or excessive runs. Just "Jack" and his voice. I love all of the contestants, but this hits differently.
One of the best male contestants ever
Jack really needs to release this version. Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.Beautiful
Give me goosebumps! every time I listen to him sing this song.
I have listened to this hundreds of times, and I tear up every time! Incredible! Full version please Jack!
He needs to record this song !!!! Fantastic rendition
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.
How are you doing@@icenine8793
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.
Well done👏
One of the best male contestants ever
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 ^^^^^^
I can’t quit watching this.
Same
The way jack sang this gave me chills
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.
Only one other Fantasia Summertime
The dude has an immaculate taste in music.
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.
I totally agree with you about shelling out money to see someone.
Agree
Totally agree. But I also like Tom as well
I feel like we are in the midst of witnessing history being made.
Amen brother
Outstanding
I have goosebumps !
❤❤❤❤
Wow--just wow! That song has never made me cry until now. This man is the real deal. Take it home, Jack!
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.
How can you not love this kid?
I hope Willie is proud. Jack knocked it out of the park and may have just won the whole thing. This was INCREDIBLE!!
Best performance of the season out of everyone!!!
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!
I cannot get enough of Jack's rendition! I've lost track of how many times I've listened.
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!!!😘❤️😘
I never get tired of listening to.this guy.
One of my all time favorite performances of any year
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.

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

So true. Idk why I kept watching this video. His voice here is so special. The song really suits his voice ❤
Me too😂
This is one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen. The nuance, detail, voice - omg
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.
Perfection. Possibly my favorite idol performance of all time. Just wow.
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 .
My goodness. I truly love this rendition. He has so much conviction in his voice. I wish it was longer.
He's my favorite handsdown
I started crying half of your performance and I can’t stop watching it over and over❤️
Great song choice to be playing on Willie's birthday! 91 today!
No one has ever sung this song better than Willie. Including Elvis.
I cried like a baby when I heard this performance. Simple and beautiful
This is the best american idol performance ive ever witnessed. His voice is incredible.
One of the best Idol performances ever
it's like the moments of Philip Phillips's We've got tonight & Kris Allen's Heartless
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,
He owns the stage with simple melody . He is good.
I can’t stop listening to this!! I’m shook!!

I have to come back to this video at least once or twice a week. Thanks Jack, great performance.
I had tears streaming just from the beauty of Jack. He's the one. ❤
Performance of the night! Dude was on another level!
Agreed!!
I’d go so far as to say it’s the performance of the season, to this point.
I can’t stop listening😭 I tear up everytine
One of the all time BEST performances on Idol! Way to go Jack ❤🎉😊
interesting approach, very emphatic, hitting every syllable. Song really kicked in when he started wailing on the sustained notes. He was making his case.
I read all of your comments because they're just that good. But this comment is the season winner!
And my wish for a more serious, heartfelt performance was granted!
@@skyemaclachlan5182 but the season isn't over yet. lol
@@LisaMurphy Yes. See, they listen.
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.
It’s mesmerizing. I can listen to it on repeat.
I can listen to this over and over again - so beautiful
Same here!
Talent? Through the roof! VOTE JACK BLOCKER!

Timeless, storytelling, and all the feels. Love the pace and control.
Jack and his rendition will always be on my mind. Absolutely stunning. Way to slay it Jack.

You can't ask for more than that.

I really like this version-especially when Jack belts out those chest notes and gets into his falsetto.
Just gorgeous. He's my favorite now❤
THIS….PERFORMANCE and
THIS….SONG CHOICE
was absolutely amazing.
This was hands down one of the best performances EVER. So good.
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.
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. ❤❤👏👏👏👏
he’s the only one standing out
Agreed
Yes
So true
Him and Abi IMO
Jack is my favorite but I believe Abi and Emmy are also standing out. I hope they end up final 3
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.
Jack - NEVER CHANGE. Just. Be. You. -- Sincerely, Jack
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.
Jack made this song into his own version and he’s just a great performer . I just love to watch him perform .
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.
Showstopper and chills. Way to go Jack!
Wow. An underdog story in the making. I will listen to this rendition of this song, for ever. It was perfect.
One of the most beautifulest things Ive ever heard.❤
Hard to listen without getting choked up. Incredible!
Willie Nelson's version was my favorite for years... Then came Jack!!!
Sir, I. LOVE. IT!!!
My absolute fav performance. I would download this in a minute.\ Go Jack --- praying for you!
Phenomenal performance. 💜
Very emotional. Beautiful.
I wasn't a big fan of Jack's before. I mean he was talented...but this performance won my heart, and vote.
I have watched this a ridiculous amount of times.
Simply the best I’ve ever heard this song sound. Incredible job, young man.
song with life, so so real... heart touching. thank you Jack. great work.
