Noah Thompson shocked the judges when he chose a Rihanna song for his Showstopper performance. He’s just as shocked when they deliver their final judgement.
When Noah Thompson took to the stage on Monday night (April 4) to perform on American Idol, he deliberately decided to step outside the box. The 24-year-old construction worker from Kentucky picked up a song that wasn’t in his genre as part of an intense “Race Round”.
When performing a cover of superstar Rihanna’s “Stay”, Thompson captured the full attention of the audience and judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Though his song choices were unpredictable, Thompson tweaked his own tunes, bringing his natural country vibes into the lyrics alongside a full band.
