There were three auditions that stood out and made it as the highlights of the episode. Here are the top 3 performances of Wednesday night's auditions.

'American Idol' is back with its 17th season, and with just two audition episodes done and dusted, the series already has us reaching for tissues. After premiering Sunday with its first episode, the series really set the benchmark high. In a teaser, the series claimed Wednesday's episode would consist of amazing talent we haven't seen before, including one of the greatest auditions ever.

Though some fans were not buying their claim; after the episode aired, we did witness some really spectacular talent and that comes with no takebacks. This season, the series held auditions in Louisville, Kentucky; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Los Angeles, California; New York, New York, and Denver, Colorado.
