A 19-year-old Puerto Rican girl promises to make a difference on the acclaimed American Idol show, after surprising the jurors with her audition.
Alanis Sophia appeared before Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, to sing the song “Anyone” by Demi Lovato, with which she impressed the three judges.
The young woman lives in Wesley Chapel, Florida but was born in St. John’s and told the jury that when she was little her mother gave her a toy from the show in the form of a microphone. “She always said she was going to be on the show, it was always a dream,” Alanis Sophia narrated.
The college student even brought tears to Katy Perry, who had words of praise for the young Puerto Rican. “You have enough confidence but you’re also pure, because you’re selling your voice, yourself, your story, and you’re doing so well from now on. You don’t know and you don’t need to know, it’s just natural.” , he said.
For his part, Richie highlighted the “purity” in the young singer’s voice. “I enjoyed the simplicity of your art and I think you have giant potential,” he abounded.
While Luke Bryan called the experience of hearing her sing “amazing.”
At the end of the hearing, Alanis Sophia’s mother entered the studio where the judges wanted to meet her so that she could tell them the story of the origin of her name.
The three then voted to send the young woman to the next round of competition in Hollywood.
