By Movieguide® Contributor
Warren Peay stunned the judges since his first audition, and he has done the same thing since. However, his time on “American Idol” has sadly come to an end.
Peay has been unashamed about his faith since he began his “American Idol” journey. He shared on his Instagram a post regarding his time on the show coming to an end.
He stated, “I won’t lie, I get a little emotional writing this post.”
“This has been such an incredible journey, and I am proud to be a part of @americanidol season 21,” he added. “Thank God for this opportunity, and thank you to all who have voted and supported me this season!”
Despite his time being cut short on the show, Peay will continue to pursue his music dreams.
“I can’t wait to hit the road for some shows, as well as get some music out just as soon as I can,” he concluded.
Movieguide® recently reported Warren Peay’s first audition on “American Idol’’:
Warren Peay, an appliance repair technician from South Carolina, floored AMERICAN IDOL judges with his rendition of Christian singer-songwriter Zach Williams’ song, “To the Table.”
“I thought you were Chris Stapleton’s brother,” Katy Perry, a current judge on the show, said upon seeing Peay.
Peay, 23, sang the song about burdens, sins and sadness in front of judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
“There’s a Savior, and He calls,” Peay sang. “Bring it all to the table.”
After Peay’s performance, all three judges expressed amazement at his talent.
“A Christian Chris Stapleton,” Perry said. “You are authentic.”
Bryan said Peay’s performance gave him “chills.”
“That is about as heading down the top 10 road that I’ve ever heard in my whole life,” Ritchie said. “I’m telling you, he’s strong — and he’s top 10.”
“What an incredible experience! Tonight, I performed for the Idol judges and got the golden ticket to Hollywood! Praise God for this amazing opportunity, and a huge shoutout and thank you to everyone who has supported me in starting this journey. Be Blessed!” Peay posted on his Instagram after the audition.
