American Idol 2021: Final auditions bring tears and inspiration

NEW YORK -- This season's "American Idol" auditions came to an inspiring conclusion on Sunday night.
One of the inspiring stories came from high school student Brianna Collichio, a 15-year-old singer from Spencerport in upstate New York.
She's battled her entire life with cystic fibrosis, which makes her prone to lung infections. Brianna has overcome the odds, again and again, performing since she was 6 years old and singing the National Anthem before a New York Jets game at age 11.
Brianna became ill right before her "Idol" audition but performed from her hospital bed and thanks to her sister's viral TikTok video, the audition was rescheduled.

American Idol: Illinois contestant, Althea Grace from algonquin inspired by daughter Lennon

Now, she's a contestant on "American Idol!"
Grace was named after a Grateful Dead song by her music loving parents. Her daughter's name is "Lennon"-- after John.
She's got a tattoo of a John Lee Hooker lyric.
Just 21, but Althea has always been on the "Idol" track.
"I spent most of my teenage years going into the city and playing with blues guitar players and playing jazz," Grace said. "The Beatles have always been my favorite and Fleetwood Mac and so it all came together."
Grace's 2-year-old daughter inspired the song mom performed at her audition.
"My daughter got sick last year and had a liver transplant and the doctors did not know if she'd make it through this, and so the song that I wrote is about cherishing every moment with the people you love," Grace said.

American Idol 2021: Texas resident Andrea Valles competing for chance at stardom

KATY, Texas -- Could the next "American Idol" be from Katy, Texas? Andrea Valles sure hopes so!
"Moving here is what made me pursue my music career even further than I already have," said Valles, who has been singing since she was 9 years old.
The 23-year-old bilingual singer-songwriter is among the contestants competing this season.
She explains that although she grew up in America, her mother made sure she spoke Spanish in the house and stayed close to that heritage.
"It's more comfortable to sing in English because that's my first language, but when I sing in Spanish, there's something about it too. It comes from deep in my soul where I'm from so it feels more at home when I sing in Spanish too," she said.

BROOKLYN, New York (WABC) -- Vahhley is going to Hollywood after securing a golden ticket from her 'American Idol' audition.
After performing Whitney Houston's "One Moment In Time" for her American Idol audition, Luke Bryan praised Vahhley's voice and her fight.
Lionel Richie assured Vahhley that this difficult moment of hers won't last forever, and Katy Perry just wants Vahhley to believe in herself, because they believe in her.
