Jacob Moran was one of the singers who got a tremendous response from the judges when he appeared in the latest episode of ‘American Idol’ season 20. Jacob, who had earlier auditioned for the singing reality show in 2019, got his hopes high for the top 20 after the judges namely Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan showered him with praises.
 
Jacob Moran performed his rendition of ‘In My Blood’ by Shawn Mendes and got the live audience jump with excitement. Speaking of his set, Richie asserted that it was one of Jacob’s greatest performances in a long time. Bryan, who seemed equally impressed with Jacob’s top 24 performance, said that it was really a high-level singing from his end. Perry too got floored by the singer’s latest performance as she felt he had an incredible voice and that he rode the song well. However, she did ask him to sing more with his heart and be more free next time he hits the stage.
