Recorded with American Idol contestant Casey Bishop, the young star performed an Incubus song with band frontman Brandon Boyd to praise not only from the rock world, but also from the show’s judges, Luke Bryan. , Lionel Richie and Katy Perry. The 16-year-old kept the fire burning in the show’s last episode, tackling Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” and absolutely nailing it.
It’s fantastic to see a rock singer come this far in a show that has traditionally focused on pop and country. And it’s a treat to hear it from someone so young! Bishop, who was only 15 at the time, even performed an a cappella version of Mötley Crüe’s “Live Wire” for his American Idol audition.
Bishop is a fairly talented young singer, and her tips on this cover would undoubtedly make Chris Cornell proud. You can watch the performance below. Rooted for Bishop to go all the way!
