LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During Sunday's three-hour episode guest performer Teddy Swims exploded the 'American idol' Season 22 with his rendition of 'Lose Control', while dressed in a striking pink suit, adding a touch of flair with a strawberry earring dangling from one ear.  Swims' powerful rendition of the song mesmerized the audience, as his performance left a lasting impression, earning praise from both the judges and viewers alike for his memorable appearance on the show.
