TOP 10 FINISH: EMOTIONS RUN HIGH

In the Top 10, Tyson took to the stage with an emotionally charged rendition of “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi, chosen by judge Katy Perry. He received praise from the judges for owning both the song and the stage during the May 1 (May 2 PST) broadcast. Although he ultimately did not make it to the Top 8, predictions for Tyson Venegas’ future career remain high, with many expecting him to soar even after American Idol.

PLATINUM AUDITION: A STAR IS BORN

Tyson’s journey to the Top 10 began with a memorable Platinum ticket audition in Las Vegas. His performance of Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind” while playing the piano impressed judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan. This pivotal moment set the stage for his remarkable journey on American Idol, as the Platinum ticket allowed him to skip one round of eliminations during Hollywood Week.

Tyson’s audition revealed that he faced speech delay as a child and didn’t start speaking until he was 3. Music became his bridge to communication, and with the support of his family, he overcame this challenge, further fueling his passion for performing and making people happy.

HOLLYWOOD WEEK: DUET TRIUMPH

During Hollywood Week, Tyson took the stage with fellow Platinum ticket holder Kaylin Hedges for a duet performance of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now”. The stunning performance earned rave reviews from the judges, including Katy Perry, who shared her excitement on social media.

FROM TOP 26 TO TOP 24: JUDGES’ PREDICTION

After a somewhat underwhelming performance of a Lizzo cover, the judges expressed their disappointment and initially hinted that Tyson might not make it to the Top 24 during the judges’ interview broadcast on April 9 (April 10 PST). However, they ultimately revealed their true belief that he was destined for the Top 10, advancing him to the next round.

 

FROM TOP 24 TO TOP 20: BRUNO MARS MAGIC

Tyson’s cover of Bruno Mars’ “It Will Rain” in the Top 24 broadcast on April 23 (April 24 PST) impressed the judges enough to secure him a spot in the Top 20. Although they noted that he focused too much on the audience, his undeniable talent shone through.

FROM TOP 20 TO TOP 12: ORIGINALITY WINS

Tyson’s talent combination from his auditions was again seen during the Top 20 performance where he showcased his songwriting skills by performing an original song, “180”, that sent him to the Top 12 during the April 24 (April 25 PST) episode.
