One of the saddest moments ever on American Idol came at the end of the Season 21 premiere.
Kya Monee returned to the Idol stage to audition for a second time. Kya appeared on 'American Idol' in 2021 and sang a memorable duet with that season's runner-up Willie Spence."I want to thank you so much for pairing me with him. He was actually supposed to be here today for my audition. It's very hard not to have that support any more," Kya told the judges, holding back tears. "I know that he would want me to be here.
Another emotional moment came from Iam Tongi, who lost his dad just a few months ago. His father taught him music and always wanted Iam to try out for Idol.A small town kid from Mississippi drew raves for his performance of "Simple Man." Colin Stough said his mom signed him up for the Idol audition."You got the magic in you, 100 percent," Perry added.
And the first Platinum Ticket of the season went to 17-year-old Tyson Venegas, who covered "New York State Of Mind.""He was inspired by you and that's where he learned how to sing from his heart," she said."That performance was spot on professional," Richie said.You can see more of the 'American Idol' premiere performances now on Hulu.
