Jay Copeland Is A Signed, Sealed, Delivered Talent – American Idol 2022

Our final Platinum Ticket has found its rightful owner! It’s a big risk for Jay to be here auditioning, as his graduate school program gave him an ultimatum to choose music (Idol) or acting (grad school). In the process he’s lost his fellowship/funding, so there’s a lot on the line. He sings Signed, Sealed Delivered on American Idol tonight

Watch Jay Copeland American Idol performance

Signed, Sealed Delivered by Stevie Wonder – He graduated with a music degree two years ago. He studied acting in grad school. They told him he couldn’t stay in school if he did American Idol. He gave up a fellowship. Yikes. 

He performs with a ton of personality. But his voice is wild. Too many runs and he’s got pitch problems here and there. Because he got the Platinum Ticket, I expected to more. But he’s a ball of sunshine on stage. If needs to reign it in. This is NOT a perfect performance. He grooves in a pocket, which is tough for many young singers. Lionel can’t stop gushes. “You owned it…you were having so much fun.” He says, “Your talent is off the chain.  You’ve got nothing to study.” Luke thinks he can electrify a crowd. Katy thinks he can skip a day of school. She points to the wall. He gets the Platinum Ticket. Because he’s worth all the platinum, she says.
