It was the Showstopper round on American Idol Sunday night (March 28), and 16-year-old Caleb Kennedy took a big risk. Unlike many of his fellow contestants, he performed an ORIGINAL song!
The singer originally planned to cover a Travis Tritt track, but followed his gut and went with a song he wrote, titled, " When You Leave Tonight.”
I don’t think it’s a risk to sing an original song, because an original song is how I got here
— Caleb Kennedy
