Lauren Spencer Smith Sings ‘What About Us’ On American Idol 2020 [Video]

American Idol 2020 gave us more talent Sunday night during the third round of auditions. And interestingly enough, one of the best performances of the night wasn’t even an American. It was Canadian Lauren Spencer Smith.

The 16-year-old singer really wowed the judges with her version of Pink’s “What About Us.” Lionel Richie said she had amazing control and that he has no actual critique for her. Luke Bryan thinks her voice is “super interesting” and tells her that her tone has them all very intrigued. Katy Perry says Lauren may be 16 years old, but “that voice is a thousand years old.” She gets her pass to Hollywood Week, and I think we can expect her to go much farther than that.

Lauren has been making waves singing on Instagram and TikTok for a bit now, so she will likely come with a built-in fanbase. Will that help her out in the competition? We will have to wait and see.
