WATCH: ‘American Idol’ Contestant Prays With Judges After Emotional Performance

Singer “Just Sam” prayed with the American Idol judges after wowing them with her audition. “Heavenly Father, make my life brand new—right here, right now—with my friends and my new fam,” she prayed while the judges repeated after her. She started the audition singing “You Say” by Lauren Daigle but, crying, she wasn’t able to make it through the song.
