Newfoundlander Will Carter Wins Golden Ticket to Hollywood on American Idol!

In an exhilarating moment that will resonate with fans across Canada, 24-year-old Will Carter from St. John's has secured his spot on Hollywood Week of American Idol! Last night, he took the stage to perform his heartfelt original song titled ‘Dreams’ for the show’s celebrity judges—Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie.

Carter’s emotional performance was not just about showmanship; it carried a deeply personal story. He revealed to the judges that the song was written in honor of his beloved mother, who bravely battled breast cancer before her passing.

"How long is the flight?" asked Luke Bryan, playfully curious about Carter's next steps. The aspiring musician humorously replied, "Too long," embodying the excitement and nerves that come with this incredible opportunity.

With his golden ticket secured, Will Carter is set to make a return appearance in tonight's episode airing at 9:30 PM NST on ABC, where he will surely capture hearts once again. This marks just the beginning of his journey on the iconic talent show, indicating that St. John's may have another star in the making!
