Contestant's mother emotionally supports son’s 'American Idol' audition

Brajawn Upshaw, a 21-year-old mail handler from Georgia, was pushed into auditioning for "American Idol" by his mother. He performed "Lovely" but faced mixed reactions from the judges, with some appreciating his style while others expressed doubts. Judge Luke Bryan voted yes, while Carrie Underwood also saw potential in Upshaw, ultimately voting yes as well. Lionel Richie, however, decided against sending him to Hollywood.
