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.

While his performace was breathtaking, many viewers couldn't help but notice Swims' eye-catching strawberry earring, which became a focal point of his appearance on American Idol. Some even drew comparisons between his look and those of artists like Post Malone and Jelly Roll, noting how Swims seemed to embody a blend of both. "Teddy Swims looks like the result of a lab experiment where they spliced together the DNA of Jelly Roll and Post Malone," a user wrote. "Teddy Swims is Jelly Roll from Wish," another user mocked. "Okay don't come for me but I stay getting Teddy Swims and Jelly Roll confused," added another user.
