On American Idol season 20, winner Noah Thompson sang an impression version of “Stay.” Now he will release a country version of the song.
Country singer Noah Thompson, who won American Idol season 20 in May, has announced that he will release a country version of “Stay,” which was originally recorded by Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko. Noah is a 20-year-old construction worker from Louisa, Kentucky, who had no prior performing experience before he auditioned for American Idol. For his Hollywood Week Showstoppers performance, Noah blew away the judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan with his rendition of the song. He explained that, although the song is not one that he would usually sing, he and his girlfriend, Angel, sing it together. He knew that singing “Stay” would show that he was a versatile performer. The song earned him a place in the Top 24, as Luke told him that he had “a magic quality” in his voice.
Noah sang “Stay” for his final American Idol performance during the finale. He was dressed in a suit and admitted that he had only worn a suit once before at his prom. The encore of this song proved how far Noah had come since Hollywood Week. When the song was over, Noah received a standing ovation from the judges. Lionel proclaimed, “That’s it.” Katy gushed that “Stay” was one of her favorite songs from Noah, and she was so glad that he decided to sing it again. She said, “The growth! I mean, when you sang it last time to when you sang it tonight – you hit some notes!” Luke agreed, saying that when Noah had sung “Stay” earlier in the season, they knew that he had something special, and he proved it even more on finale night.
