An 18-year-old HVAC technician from a small town in Mississippi, Colin Stough, recently made it to the Top 12 on American Idol with his stunning performance of Robyn’s 2010 hit song “Dancing On My Own”. Despite being a country music fan, Stough chose to sing this particular song, which left the audience and all three judges impressed. Luke Bryan was particularly thrilled with Stough’s performance and ran up on stage, jumping up and down in complete joy.
Stough’s unique rendition of the song and his heartfelt performance received a standing ovation from the judges and the audience. When asked why he chose this song, Stough replied that he couldn’t fully explain it but felt that something was “laying it on his heart” to do it.
Stough’s success on American Idol is proof that a willingness to step outside one’s comfort zone can lead to amazing opportunities. His performance is a reminder that sometimes, taking a risk and doing something unexpected can pay off in incredible ways.
