Roberts, a 27-year-old P.E. teacher at Crestwood Elementary School, began his American Idol journey by turning heads during the audition rounds with a golden ticket–winning performance of Rick James’ “Mary Jane.”
Since then, Roberts has captivated audiences across the country with his raw, soulful vocals and undeniable stage presence, surviving week after week of tough eliminations.
On Sunday night, April 27, he secured his spot in the Top 12 with a high-energy, crowd-rousing performance of “Shout.” The moment became even more emotional when his daughters, Lyrik and Harmoni, joined him on stage, beaming with pride from the front row.
In the early rounds, judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood decided who advanced. But now, as the competition heats up, it’s America’s vote that determines who stays and who goes.
