Adam Brock, the emotional soul singer who was left hanging Wednesday, was given the green light to the next round on Thursday’s edition of American Idol.

"You know what? I can feel the joy in your soul, coming from you, when you're singing -- it’s what you love doing" judge Randy Jackson told Brock.

"It's where my joy comes from,” Brock, 27, said. “It's how I know that God blessed you."

Then, Steven Tyler told him, “You’re going on to the top 24!”

With the good news, the Pennsylvania native hugged the judges, and -- pulling out the heavy artillery -- showed them a picture of his baby daughter.

“She’s the reason that I do it,” he said.
