Performing her original "Compass," the 27-year-old was joined by her brother-and-law.

"That is really beautiful," Perry said. "I felt the emotion, I felt the pain."

"You have a good, good country voice," judge Luke Bryan complimented. "It's really, really solid. It's a yes from me."

"He was a lucky man," Richie added. "Without a doubt, it's a yes from me."

Jade Flores

An energetic 22-year-old from a small town in Texas truly entertained the judges with her rendition of "Strawberry Wine" by Deana Carter.

"This song, this is my fiancé's favorite song," Jade Flores said as she strums the guitar. "He says every time he hears this one, he falls in love with again, so hopefully you guys like it too."

"You are a really, really good singer," Bryan said.

"Watching you entertain us was just as powerful as your voice," Richie added.

"You have the personality that backs up your voice," Perry said.

The 22-year-old became the first auditioner to make it through to Hollywood during Monday night's episode.

Christiaan Padavan

Performing "Vienna" by Billy Joel, the judges knew 19-year-old Christiaan Padavan was going to Hollywood the moment he opened his mouth.

Following his stellar audition, Perry asks him to sing them out with "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra.

Performing "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith, the Modesto-native was able to show off his wide vocal range.

"That's a gosh darn miracle," Perry said.

"It's one thing to sing a song like someone, it's another thing where you take someone's song and turn it into your song," Richie added. "I'm looking for your identity and you gave it to us."

Hammond got three "yes" votes and is headed to Hollywood.

Chloe Channell

It's important to have people in your corner, especially if they're Grammy nominee country singer Billy Dean. The "Somewhere In My Broken Heart" singer accompanied 16-year-old Chloe Channell on guitar as she performed "Stupid Boy" by Keith Urban.

"A year of sadness was brought to healing," Kleinberg said to the camera.

Zebulon Spencer

Coming from North Carolina, Zebulon Spencer made his American Idol debut with "Porch Swing Angel" by Muscadine Bloodline.

"My favorite country voice that has come through here," Bryan said.

"I think you got something worth working with," Perr added.

The 27-year-old got three "yes" votes and got his golden ticket to Hollywood.
