Loretta Lynn's granddaughter's performance brought Ryan Seacrest to tears, prompting Luke Bryan to offer him a hug: 'I'm crying.'

"I'm crying," Seacrest said after Russell finished her performance of the original song "Want You." The song, she said, was about a partner who didn't return her feelings. "I want you to want me / Like I want you / I want you to need me / Like I need you,” she sings.to get up from his seat and offer Seacrest a hug, which the host accepted by leaping into Bryan's arms like a child.

Addressing Russell, Seacrest explained, "Knowing that was your song, you started writing at 9, and those are your lyrics, it was just so emotional backstage," he explained.The judges felt the emotion as well, allowing Russell to stay in the competition. They instead sent Elleigh Marie, KBlocks, Blake Proehl, and Hailey Mia home, narrowing the field as it moves toward its top 14 singers on Monday.

“That was so you," Bryan told Russell. "I loved it because it was so real, and I think we could really feel the emotion in that, and that’s what your artistry is about and don’t lose that." While she was saved from elimination, Perry did offer some constructive feedback. "Miss Emmy, that was one of my favorite original songs that you've sang," Perry said. "I know you were just a little nervous. I just want more breath, more long notes."The Golden Bachelor
