Post office employee Brajawn Upshaw faced a nerve-wracking moment as he auditioned for Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood on the upcoming episode of American Idol. The 21-year-old from Temple, GA, who has been working at the post office for three years, found himself in this unexpected situation. His entry into the audition was orchestrated by his mother Tasha, who signed him up without his knowledge. Now, Brajawn is taking a bold step towards earning a Golden Ticket to Hollywood, inspired by Luke Bryan’s documentary.
Expressing his gratitude to Luke Bryan for the inspiration he received, Brajawn shared, “I have held myself back a lot because I didn’t think I could do a lot. Luke, I have to say thank you. I woke up one day to your documentary…” Brajawn chose to perform “Lovely” by Billie Eilish and Khalid for his audition. Will his performance be enough to secure that coveted Golden Ticket? Tune in to the episode airing this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC to find out. The episode will also be available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
