There were even a few familiar faces thrown into the mix. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a look at the final group to look out for as we head into \u201cHollywood Week.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Madison_Watkins_Lights_Up_the_Audition_Room\"><\/span><b>Madison Watkins Lights Up the Audition Room<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ofb2CHjHiaI\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ofb2CHjHiaI<\/a><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This 25-year-old ray of sunshine won the judges over with an original song dedicated to dad called \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Little Girl<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d The hair model from Arkansas, nicknamed \u201cMoo Moo,\u201d proved more than just a smile and curls the minute she hit the first key on the piano. Luke called her the whole package and checked every box in the book. She was definitely giving those Tori Kelly vibes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dueling_California_Girls_Shine\"><\/span><b>Dueling California Girls Shine<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UaS1jTGSxo4\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UaS1jTGSxo4<\/a><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ava August, 15, and Liv Grace Blue, 17, had a lot in common, like being massive Katy Perry fans. Ava even went to her concert at age 9 dressed in a banana costume. Liv put an acoustic spin on Perry\u2019s first big hit \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I Kissed A Girl.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ava performed an original song \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neighbor Boy\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at the piano. Each received a golden ticket, so let\u2019s see who goes farthest. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deshawn_Goncalves_Sings_Like_an_Angel\"><\/span><b>Deshawn Goncalves Sings Like an Angel <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QBDcJzDPoao\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QBDcJzDPoao<\/a><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 19-year-old has faced his share of adversity. The Jackson State University tuba player\u2019s mother had him at age 13 with his dad spending time in jail growing up. Music was Deshawn\u2019s saving grace. Dad turned his life around after getting out of prison, inspiring Deshawn to better himself. Katy called his rendition of \u201cChange\u201d by Nina Simone magic. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NobodyIs_Stopping_Tryzden_Grubbs\"><\/span><b>Nobody<\/b><b>Is Stopping Tryzden Grubbs <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gxBoEjIHjec\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gxBoEjIHjec<\/a><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his other siblings choosing sports, the 15-year-old form Columbus, Ohio took to music. The teen was met with bullying at school, and even told to kill himself. The judges saw his lack of confidence singing \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before You Go\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Lewis Capaldi, but then saw him come to life with the rendition of \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nobody\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by James Arthur. So much in fact, it got them to their feet.

Things worked out a little differently for Zachary D\u2019Onofrio, who fans might remember from 2018. Katy referred to him as \u201cSinatra Boy.\u201d The judges weren\u2019t sure about the don\u2019t judge a book by its cover 19-year-old after his performance of \u201cGolden Slumbers\u201d by The Beatles. In a fun surprise his girlfriend and fellow alum Catie Turner came into the audition room for a duet on \u201cFalling\u201d by Harry Styles. The performance was enough to get Zach the golden ticket. For Katy, Zach is a turtle who needs to come out of his shell. But you know what they say about turtles. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Walking_Miracle\"><\/span><b>A Walking Miracle <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-bxiKZTVFM\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n-bxiKZTVFM<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brianna Collichio made a deal with her sister that if a TikTok of her performance went viral, she would audition. It did, but on the night before 15-year-old collapsed and ended up in surgery. Battling cystic fibrosis, she initially auditioned from her hospital bed. Recounting the story, the judges were inspired by a standout performance of \u201cScars to Your Beautiful\u201d by Alessia Cara. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Mother_with_Strength\"><\/span><b>A Mother with Strength <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e5t7nSmcIag\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e5t7nSmcIag<\/a><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"\/><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vahhley is a 23-year-old mom who has been living in a homeless shelter for the past eight months. The New Yorker looks to the audition as an opportunity to provide a better life for her son. She struck a chord with the judges singing \u201cOne Moment in Time\u201d by Whitney Houston. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Park_City_James_Taylor\"><\/span><b>Park City James Taylor <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PNkBbPw9A5o\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PNkBbPw9A5o<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wyatt Pike started performing at age 13 while people were in line at the resort ski lift in Utah. Struggling with anxiety in high school, the 19-year-old also helped his sister battle through her own struggles. Wyatt performed \u201cBest for You\u201d with their bond in mind. Luke liked his style.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Althea_Grace_Sings_%E2%80%98Saturday_Morning\"><\/span><b>Althea Grace Sings \u2018Saturday Morning\u2019<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LFhUtsiOFYE\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LFhUtsiOFYE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 21-year-old didn\u2019t know she was having a baby until seven months into her pregnancy. Althea\u2019s daughter suffered liver failure just before her first birthday, but has since recovered. Althea performed an original song, \u201cSaturday Morning,\u201d which was written while she was in the hospital. Luke compared her to Stevie Nicks. Katy empathized with all she has endured,, but encouraged her to take everything she has been through and make it into fire. The three yays made Althea the last to get the golden ticket in this phase of the competition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Hollywood we go\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>American Idol<\/i><\/b><b>, Sundays, 8\/7c, ABC<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
