The “Idol” hopeful brought the audience and judges to their feet with a jazzier twist to the classic Stevie Wonder track prior to entering the Top 10.
However, the feedback of judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan were not shown in the singer’s performance video.
Following his recent milestone, Venegas said on Instagram that his journey towards his “Idol” dream is not yet over.
“Tonight ROCKED. I have made the #Top10 of @americanidol but it’s not over yet,” he said in the post, as he shared a photo of himself doing a “peace” sign. “Thank you so, so much for your support and votes. Genuinely here because of you all and I hope you’re enjoying all of our performances!”
Venegas first gained recognition after competing in the second season of “The Voice Teens” in 2020, where he was under Team Apl De Ap. EDV
