After 'American Idol' Season 17 ended, a lot has changed. Moran spent 2020 working at Lansing Rheumatology in East Lansing as a nurse. He also made radical diet and lifestyle changes, shed 80 pounds, and became an avid runner. Jacob's last audition for 'American Idol' aired on ABC in 2019 when he performed in front of judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie. Judges sent him through to Hollywood Week, but his first experience in the popular reality show ended there. While giving the audition in Season 17, Moran sang Ariana Grande's "Into You", for which Perry told Moran, "You have the best voice we've heard in all of Kentucky."



 

'American Idol' Season 20 airs every Sunday on ABC at 8 pm ET.
