IN THE revival of American Idol, one Asian/American teenager stood out above the rest.
Sixteen-year old Alyssa Raghu (Raghunandan) of Orlando, Florida wowed the judges - Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.
When Alyssa Raghu auditioned on the American Idol premiere, each of the judges were blown away. She sang a rendition of 'Almost is Never Enough' by Ariana Grande and finished her audition in tears.
“I full-body felt what you were singing,” Katy Perry said. “You’re top ten.”
"I've always thought that she was special. She was always interested in music, I just saw that spark in her and just kept pushing her in that direction," said her father, Dennis Raghunandan.
American Idol judges just kicked off their search for the next big star, so it's hard to tell how good Alyssa's competition will be.
Watch American Idol, Sundays on ABC. 8 p.m. EST.
