Who was the young man from Perryville MO who tried out for season 21? I believe his last name was Yount, not sure. Thanks, Diana
That’s exactly what I want to know. I don’t see his name listed but I saw him during one of their commercials.
Did the guy from Perryville Missouri make it .Never seen him sing just talk and that’s it
I just watched episode 2. His first name is Jerod. They didn’t show him sing though.
I would like to sing on American Idol and I’m ready for an audition I sure wish Lionel Richie would email me and tell me to come on and seeing one of his songs like Zoom
I want to sing on american idol but just a little scared.
