'That was not garbage, it was greatness,' Katy Perry told contestant Douglas Kiker after his audition on Sunday's American Idol premiere
Perry was smitten, clapping for Kiker and telling him that she wanted to hear more from the nervous contestant.
“Show us your range,” she asked a befuddled Kiker, who admitted with a laugh, “I don’t know what that is.”Admitting that he was “still trying to figure that out,” for himself, Kiker then prepared to sing once more for the panel before judgeAs Bryan began to play, Kiker let his vocals soar and successfully showcased his impressive and raw vocal talents.
