Tag: Sing-off

Remember Ziggy from American Idol season 22? The talented singer with the big voice from the Netherlands? Well, even though he didn’t make it to the Hawaii trip with the other contestants, Ziggy isn’t letting that stop him! He just released the song he would’ve sung there, and it’s amazing.

Fan Favorite Cut Short

Ziggy wowed the judges with his audition, singing “Million Reasons” by Lady Gaga. He earned a golden ticket to Hollywood, which meant he got to compete in the later rounds. But during the “Final Judgment,” things got tough. The judges had Ziggy and another singer, Mackenzie Sol, do a sing-off (a competition where they sing the same song to see who’s better). In the end, Mackenzie got to move on, and Ziggy’s American Idol journey came to a close.

Lots of fans were shocked! They thought Ziggy had a great voice and deserved to stay. There were even calls for him to come back as a “Wild Card” contestant (someone who gets another chance later in the competition).

Turning Disappointment into Music

Even though he didn’t make it to Hawaii, Ziggy decided to use that experience to make something positive. The song he planned to sing there was Radiohead’s “Creep,” and now he’s released it for everyone to hear!

A Powerful Voice

People who’ve heard Ziggy’s version of “Creep” say it’s incredible. He shows off his impressive vocal range (how high and low he can sing) and adds his own unique style to the song. It’s clear Ziggy put a lot of feeling into this performance, and it really shines through.

What’s Next for Ziggy?

Being on American Idol might not have ended the way Ziggy hoped, but it definitely gave him a big boost. By releasing “Creep,” he’s showing everyone that he’s serious about music and has a bright future ahead. Fans are excited to see what he does next, and there’s a good chance we’ll be hearing a lot more from Ziggy in the future!
