Idol 's soul singers have a tough job ahead of them: They need to perform with both power and vulnerability — some pull it off better than others.
His range is insane and that high note at the end really seals the deal. When Lionel Richie is up on his feet saying "that's my boy," you know you've made it to the next round. Another winner in Xavier's group is Grace Kinstler — she moved Luke Bryan to tears with her pure singing voice in her "Natural Woman" audition — who continues to sound like a true pro. She sounds polished and in complete control on Jazmine Sullivan's "10 Seconds. Xavier and Grace will both be joined by Re'h, who gave us a Donna Summer dance party in her audition, but shows a more emotional side this time around with Brenda Russell's "Get Here.
She sings Andra Day's "Rise Up," but the self-doubt and nerves get to her. With just nine artists, rock is the smallest genre group this round but that doesn't mean there aren't some heavy hitters. First, and perhaps surprisingly, Beane from Boston — the smiley guy the judges called Mister Rogers — takes the stage and shows a new side of himself thanks to his "Benny and the Jets" cover. In his audition, Luke Bryan wasn't sure Beane was right for American Idol , but Luke is won over by the end of this song and the three judges give Beane a standing ovation.
The other standout in rock — and another person who earns a standing ovation from Lionel, Luke, and Katy — is Casey Bishop, the tiny year-old with the huge, booming voice. In her audition she sang both rock and a classic jazz standard, but rock is where Casey's heart lies, it seems. Her "House of the Rising Sun" is a highlight of the episode. Both she and Beane will also be joined in the next round by rocker mom Althea Grace. The judges don't think she's ready to continue on quite yet.
There's similar bad news for teens Tryzdin Grubbs and Brianna Collichio. But there's good news in this genre, too! First, Amanda Mena lays down an insane solo performance with some huge notes that make it impossible for the judges not to move her forward.
She'll be joined by Willie Spence, an audition standout, who once again moves the judges with his warm tone and the effortless way he hits some giant notes and easily moves through runs.
The judges love Willie's version of John Legend's "All of Me" so much that they don't even have him stand in a line to learn his fate, they tell him right after he finishes that he made it to the next round. Indie-folk also seems to be pretty stacked with contestants this season. In the first grouping, we have teacher Christina Daughtery, who performs a great acoustic version of "Hit the Road Jack," as well as pilot Graham DeFranco.
Graham is hard not to like, but Lionel thought his solo was missing the "entertainment" portion of the performance. Hunter Metts, whose sister quit her job with Disney so that he could audition, also underwhelms the judges after a great audition. Tags American Idol. About the Author Jack Tomas.
