The contestant performed Can't Be Loved by Elle King. The judges were speechless at first but then proceeded to cheer for her. Katy Perry said:"Wow, Gruber! That was really amazing. I don't really have that many critiques for you." View this post on Instagram Instagram PostUpon asking her why she chose American Idol, the contestant revealed that she had been watching the show for a long time but wasn't confident of singing in public. She only did this as a tribute to her grandmother, who passed away two years ago."For the longest time, everybody would have to turn around when I would sing. I wouldn't sing in front of anybody. My grandma just encouraged me to sing anywhere I could. My grandma had ovarian cancer for over five years. She was really sick, so she just wanted me to sing for me. She's my guardian angel."Lionel Richie was pleased with the audition and said:"You came in here and gave us not only fabulous delivery, but it's your style. So if I heard your voice, single among everybody else, I'd know- it's Morgan. That's what you want in this business."American Idol@AmericanIdol"I looked at Katy’s sheet, it said Top 20.
