'American Idol' Top 24: Sir Blayke's performance leaves fans saying he needs 'one pass'
Sir Blayke aka Charlton “Blayke” Ridgell's journey in life has been anything but easy. Despite all the curveballs that life threw his way, the 28-year-old's determination to make a name for himself in the music industry prompted him to try out for 'American Idol' Season 20.
From the get-go, the judges kept pushing Sir Blayke to be more confident and express himself. The Los Angeles resident did exactly that and managed to earn a spot on the Top 24 performers list. With the help of guest mentor Bebe Rexha, Sir Blayke worked on perfecting his vocals to The Script's 'Breakeven'. Despite practicing hard, and putting his best foot forward, sadly Sir Blayke's performance failed to hit the mark. Though his voice was great, his breath control and the wrong song choice worked against him.
