Colorado American Idol Contestant Punches Ticket to Hollywood
A Colorado American Idol contestant left the judges stunned after his sultry rendition of "Don't Worry Be Happy" on Sunday's (March 1) episode.
Last year, Colorado Springs worship leader DeWayne Crocker, Jr. was invited to audition for American Idol. Sunday, he secured his ticket to move on in the show to the next round.
Not only did Dewayne Crocker blow the judges socks off, but his grandmother had a special interaction with her favorite singer, Lionel Richie.
