NICOLINA BOZZO Advances To The Top 5 on AMERICAN IDOL
Toronto/Vaughan’s very own Nicolina Bozzo cracked the Top 5 on American Idol belting out Heart’s “Alone.” Katy Perry was so blown away she could barely stay in her seat. Lionel Richie said “Alright, so listen… star in control. You got it. I mean it’s there.”
Nicolina continues to take bold chances impressing America and the entire world with her emotional and powerful rendition of Pentatonix’s “Light in the Hallway” showcasing a different side of her voice. She dedicated the song to her Grand Mother on the Mother’s Day edition of AI.
Katy Perry said “It just feels like this is your stage and everyone’s here to see you. Both performances have been A++.” Lionel said “Short and sweet, that performance was absolutely flawless.” Luke Bryan said, “I was literally going to use the word flawless and Lionel took it from me. “It was flawless.”
The Top 7 contenders pulled double-duty on Sunday night with help from mentor WILL I AM. The contestants sang two songs. The first challenge was to pick a song that’s gone viral on TikTok and the second was a song in honor of Mother’s Day.
