Usually, I find these Idol opens gratuitous, but not this one.
Bless you for the gift of The Captain.
Or you may not.

I pray you do not.
Back then, she made it to the Hollywood group rounds but now admits she just wasnt ready.
Very much still in love with Ryan Seacrest, but also with her fiance, Seth.
Probably still with her chicken impression, too.
Ryan seems grateful that Seth is around.
She squeezes in her wedding before heading back to Hollywood.
The song obviously means a lot to him, and its hard not to get wrapped up in it.
it’s possible for you to tell Luke loves it because the dude cant hide his grin.
But headed to Hollywood he is.
I hate this show and Im out of tissues already.
Eddie Island, 25, Nashville, Tenn.Stay OK by Eddie IslandWelcome to the Island!
Eddie gave himself his last name when he came to the realization that were all islands.
I mean, John Donne might have something to say about that, but sure.
If only all the other hopefuls knew what it really took to win a golden ticket.
Kason Lester, 28, Lebanon, Tenn.Holdin Her by Chris JansonUh, hold on, folks.
If Kason wins this season, I will gladly take his place.
He gets a ticket to Hollywood and I am one step closer to my strawberry farm dream.
Juan Pablo, 26, North Hollywood, Calif.Besame Mucho by Consuelo VelazquezComo se dice drama?
Katy wants to know once Juan Pablo finishes his song because the man brings himself to tears!
The guy tells a story.
He tells every story!
Lionel is impressed that he can stand still and yet make everyone in the room come to him.
Funny story: Here he does not cry.
Its the law now.
If youre not crying once she starts singing, dont worryLionel is crying enough for all of us.
The man is moved.
Get this angel-voiced young lady to Hollywood.
All it takes is some yelling and push-ups.
Well, this is my hell.
He doesnt stand out, but hes very likable.
He will have the chance to apply this critique in Hollywood.
Now we can all truly be at ease.
Thank you, Ill be here all week!
Ethan Payne, 15, Macon, Ga.Do I by Luke BryanEthan and Luke go way back.
Ethan is here today with that very guitar and a request for Luke to sing along with him.
Alejandro Aranda, 24, Pomona, Calif.Out Loud by Alejandro ArandaLionel calls it a religious experience.
Luke says hes never seen anything like that.
Katy anoints him a genius.
So, uh, yeah guys, the judges really liked Alejandros audition.
You know who maybe didnt?
But with his musical idols being Trent Reznor, Chopin, and Bach, anything is possible.
Anyone else from this crop of singers stand out to you?
