AceShowbiz – A contestant moved Lionel Richie to tears in a new episode of “American Idol“. Airing on Sunday, March 5, the outing saw Elijah McCormack offering an impressive performance and sharing how he encountered death several times.

The 21-year-old ophthalmologist technician from Raeford, North Carolina told the judges, who also included Katy Perry and Luke Bryan, that he came to the audition after he flatlined nine times following a fiery crash, which occurred hours after his graduation ceremony. He added that his mom signed him up for “American Idol” prior to the incident.
