Georgia 21-year-old punches ticket to Hollywood on American Idol

A contestant from Georgia has the chance to become the next American Idol. Willie Spence, 21, earned his golden ticket to Hollywood.

Spence was the last performer of the night and he was shinning bright like a diamond as he blew away Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie with his performance of “Diamonds” by Rihanna on Sunday night.

Spence earned a yes from all three judges. Spence grew up in Douglas, Georgia and stated that he now lives in Dunwoody. I now know who I am rooting for on Sunday nights and I wish Willie much success.
