When they were offered the opportunity to pay tribute to Mother’s Day in “American Idol”, some contestants chose to honor mothers in their lives with songs by legends such as Bob Dylan and Sam Cooke. Thunderstorm Artis, however, wanted to express his love and gratitude with his words.
The Hawaiian singer performed an original song called “Out of the Blue” during the Sunday evening episode, which offered “Idol” hope of two opportunities to impress the viewers: first during a round of Disney song performances, and again, when the singers each shared a tribute to Mother’s Day.
Artis explained that he wrote “out of blue” about his wife, Faith, with whom he shares two children.
“When I met the faith, I was not looking for love, he went into my life” out of blue “, he said with a smile.
“Whatever it seems to pursue this dream, I’m 100 percent, I will do everything needed,” added Artis’s wife during an interview before the presentation.
The unpleasant original song, which included heart lines such as “When it’s Dark, You The Sunshine Breaking,” said Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan.
“Of course to me, if you write these letters and write these melodies, you have what we call” a race, “Richie said.
“If you are the artist who joins them, the sky is the limit for you, my friend,” he added.
Underwood also praised the Artis artist and acknowledged the risk of interpreting an original song until the competition.
“You’ve already brought some truly amazing songs all the time with us,” he said, “and there is nothing to worry about -because of course it will be great, because you are you.”
As in recent weeks, “Idol” fans voted during the Sunday night episode to determine which five contestants would advance and what two hopeful “idols” would return home. The end of the episode revealed that Mattie Pruitt and Gabby Samone had been eliminated from the competition.
Artis will perform again on Monday night in another Disney theme round, where he and the other four contestants will perform songs from his favorite heroes and viles. The next and end episode of season 23 is scheduled for next Sunday, May 18th.
