Several 'American Idol' hopefuls performed Carrie Underwood's hits when the country star joined the judging panel for season 23

A Charlotte singer is in the spotlight on this season of “American Idol.” 24-year-old Josh King is one of the many artists from across the country who scored a ticket to Hollywood to compete on the hit reality show.

Despite looking older than he is, 21-year-old Kam'Ron Smith is a sprinkler installer and farmer from Rocky Mount, Virginia. He sings a cover of a Joe Diffie song that is full of country twang. Carrie notes that she "likes" him, remarking that he made the song his own. Kam'Rom receives three yeses. He's going to Hollywood!
