'American Idol' got heated Sunday night when a young contestant opened up during his audition about surviving a school shooting.
After getting a standing ovation, he shared his story: He narrowly survived"A gunman walked into my school," Louis said. "I was in art room one, and he shot up art room two before he made his way to art room one. Lost a lot of friends."“Our country has failed us!" she shouted, through tears."This is not OK! You should be singing here because you love music! Not because you had to go through that . You didn’t have to lose... friends.
After belting out"I'm Already There" by Lonestar, Hedges was surprised with a video message from her dad. But that wasn't all. The judges asked Hedges to turn around to see her dad standing in the audition room. Even Hedges' mom had no idea about the surprise. His grandfather couldn't have been more wrong. Hatfield sang for the judges a song he wrote for his grandfather about wanting him to open up so they can grow closer. The song, the grandfather said, has"made me believe more in myself."
