Sandwich artist Scarlet Ayliz stunned “American Idol” judges with an original song on Sunday’s episode. The 18-year-old contestant from Hartford, Connecticut, auditioned for “Idol” last season but unfortunately did not make it to Hollywood after earning a golden ticket.

This time, she’s back for another shot and sang original song “Bleeding” for judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan.

She was praised by all three judges. “Super duper commercial-sounding voice!” Bryan raved. “Like superstardom commercial.” “Absolutely,” Richie agreed.

Perry added, “I don’t think we made a mistake last time,” and offered advice that Ayliz should “pick songs that stir emotions” like “that song that is Grandma’s favourite song.” READ MORE: Kelsie Dolin Brings Lionel Richie To Tears On ‘American Idol’ The “Roar” singer referenced Ayliz’s grandmother Mary, who was with her for the audition and just so happened to be a huge Richie fan.
