‘American Idol’ judge Lionel Richie tells Alabama’s Triston Harper: ‘You’re right, it’s God’
As host Ryan Seacrest read off the names of the six competitors who got the most votes, Harper was among them – along with Emmy Russell, Jack Blocker, Julia Gagnon, Carter and Moseley. McKenna Faith Breinholt and Kaibrienne didn’t make the initial cut; Perry had won the judges’ contest, so it fell to her to save one of them. She chose Breinholt.
