'American Idol' Hollywood Week: Fritz Hager's passionate act leaves fans heartbroken
Despite failing to impress Luke Bryan during the auditions, 21-year-old Fritz Hager managed to score the golden ticket to Hollywood on 'American Idol' Season 20. Determined to prove to the judges that they made the right decision by sending him through, Fritz went all out with his performance during Hollywood Week.
The security guard from Texas decided to perform to 'Unsteady' and gave a very moving performance. By the end of his performance, the judges- Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke, couldn't deny that he had a lot of talent, and they were curious to see what else he had to offer. So they put him through to the next round- the Hollywood Duet round. While we will have to wait and watch to see how Fritz fares in the next round, in the meanwhile you can check out the reactions to Fritz's jaw-dropping performance here.

While Fritz continues to be unsure about himself and his talent, fans have noticed his potential and are already rooting for him. A fan commented on the show's YouTube clip of his performance with, "What's he saying he's not one of the best there. his voice is literally perfect for radios." Another fan shared, "And with that, Fritz is in my top 5! He’s a beast! I literally cried. Fritz thought he had something to prove, and I think he showed that he is so special! He was the best of the night in my opinion. Those flips into falsetto gave me complete chills. He’s a star!" "Lol the last notes made me go “Mm” out loud. He got me, he got me. His audition was a little underwhelming I guess, but I loved what he said about “proving it to himself” that he belonged in this competition. I was rooting for him at that point, and he totally delivered. So satisfying," echoed a fan.
