At the end of the episode, Luke, Ryan Seacrest and the crew members persuaded the two co-judges to give Jack a yes.
About his time on the show, Jack said Stop: “It’s difficult to put [my journey] in words because it started with the biggest no I’ve received so far.
“So, I really didn’t have much expectation going into Hollywood week, much less being in the Top 10 of the series.
“So it’s crazy to still be here. I’m very grateful for that.
“I’ve been doing this for a minute and singing for a long time.
“I know where my path is at this moment and therefore I am confident in following with what I know and what I believe in.
“I know it’s not necessarily going to please everyone, but I’m happy with it at this point. I’m just having fun up there.”
As season 22 progressed, Jack made it to the top three finalists of the competition.
