In an emotionally charged episode of “American Idol” Season 22, Grammy nominee Jelly Roll delivered a stirring performance of “Halfway to Hell” after mentoring the top 24 contestants.
The rapper and country star had previously worked with standout contestants, including Triston Harper, a 15-year-old with a voice beyond his years, and Mia Matthews, a teen whose tribute to her late father moved everyone to tears, including Jelly Roll himself.
The judges, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, were visibly affected by the performances, with Perry developing goosebumps and Richie praising Mia’s vulnerability as key to her standout show. As the top 20 spots hang in the balance, it’s clear that Jelly Roll’s influence and the contestants’ heartfelt stories are making this a season to remember.
