In a heartwarming moment on the latest episode of Season 23 of “American Idol,” contestant Kolbi Jordan received a surprise call from her favorite singer, Patti LaBelle, courtesy of judge Lionel Richie. Jordan, a 26-year-old from Oklahoma, had revealed at the start of her audition that LaBelle was her idol, and after her stunning performance, Richie connected the two singers over the phone.
LaBelle, impressed by Jordan’s talent, encouraged her to keep chasing her dreams and wished her luck in the competition. The judges, including Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, were also moved by Jordan’s performance and unanimously voted to send her to the next round of the competition.
As a special treat, the judges invited Jordan to perform at Nissan Stadium in Nashville during a football game, where they surprised her with a “platinum ticket.” This ticket allows Jordan to skip the first round of “Hollywood week” and gives her an advantage over other contestants.
Richie expressed his excitement at the prospect of seeing Jordan and LaBelle perform side by side, highlighting the potential he sees in Jordan as a talented singer. With the support of her favorite singer and the judges, Jordan is now one step closer to achieving her dream of becoming the next American Idol.
