It’s safe to say Deandre Brackensick might be the most polarizing contestant on season 11 of American Idol.
The high school senior – who could easily pass for at least 25 – possesses a unique look (that hair!) and a unique sound (that voice!), both of which caused the judges to fall all over themselves with praise. Randy even said Brackensick was one of the most commercially-ready contestants the show has ever had.
Really? Would you buy a Deandre Brackensick album? The contestant covered Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “Reasons” for his live performance and we highly recommend giving it a listen below. It’s… different.
How does Deandre stack up against fellow men Phillip Phillips and Reed Grimm? You tell us!
