The final audition round for American Idol season 21 will air on ABC on March 26 at 8 p.m. ET. The two-hour show will feature multiple contenders from across the United States trying to win a spot in the race by showing off their vocal abilities. The winners of the contest will receive a platinum card, while the rest will go away empty-handed.
Cam Amen, 27, grew up in foster care in Anderson, Indiana, and attended multiple high school institutions in Lecanto and Crystal River before auditioning this week. As seen in the network’s test footage, he has a resonant voice that seems to have pleased the judges. Judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie can be seen crying in an introductory video after hearing his dramatic life story and vocals.
Cam Amen, an American Idol contestant, burst into tears in front of the judges.
Amen is a Tik-Tok singer with more than 3,000 followers and 17,000 likes. He was separated from his mother and raised in foster care. Cam described his American Idol audition as “rough” before performing Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah and playing the sounds on the piano. He continued:
“We spent a long time in foster care.” I moved out when I was 18 and brought my siblings with me. I realized that I needed to educate them properly and help them finish high school.”
Amen has been raising his brothers alone for the past 5 years. During Cam’s mock exam, judge Luke Bryan couldn’t hold back his tears. Bryan received warm applause from the three judges and also said,
“You have been through a lot, but the rest of your life is waiting for you, do you hear me?”
Cam, whose real name is Cameron Osterloh, works as a waiter at City Fire in Florida and has a dog named Karma. He uploaded his first YouTube cover video of Parson James’s Waiting Game 5 years ago. Amen placed second in the Sanford performance challenge, winning $500. He also played in a charity concert for Ukrainian migrants at Lady Lake.
The candidate’s voice has a wide range. In another interview, he discussed his American Idol audition, saying,
“I worked so hard for years just to be able to sing in front of people, so knowing I was singing on television in front of millions of people was incredible.”
On his Tik-Tok account, he plays many original tracks as well as several versions, including I Will Always Love You, Lay Me Down and It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday. Cam’s most famous film is a competitive duo of him singing Say Something with his grandmother. He revealed in the video’s comments that his grandmother, who loved the song so much, passed away while he was singing to her.
However, the American Idol video does not reveal whether Cam passed the mock exam. Tune in to ABC on Sunday, March 26 at 8 p.m. ET to see if Cam Amen can make it through her American Idol round and progress to Hollywood Week. The day after it first aired, fans can watch the show on Hulu and the network’s website.
