Two contestants from the area -- one from New Jersey and the other from Manhattan -- will sing for a chance to go on to the next round of American Idol on Sunday.
Friday, February 23, 2024 10:13PMOne contestant named Meggie Iyer from Luke Bryan's hometown got him and the other judges out of their seats on the season premiere of "American Idol" last week and another singer, Odell Bunton Jr. got a golden ticket, meaning he skips the first round of eliminations in Hollywood.
It's hard to believe, but it's been almost 22 years since the debut of "American Idol" and in the years since, it's become one of the biggest hits in television history. "I've always wanted to sing and perform like before I even knew what performing was," said contestant Nya.Mia auditioned in Katy Perry's hometown of Santa Barbara, California, and sang one of her hit songs.
