Les Greene is up on American Idol and performed his own rendition of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” for his audition. Les, 27, was born in Baltimore but moved to South America with her mom.
Lionel Richie said Les’s singing is strong. Luke Bryan said Les is a Ferrari when it comes to his singing. Luke said he is raw and full speed ahead. Luke said the reality is whether he could do this five nights in a row. But, Luke was a big “Yes.” Katy Perry loves his personal style and presentation. Katy also was a “yes.” Finally, Lionel gave Les a “yes” and sent him off to Hollywood.
