Kolbi Jordan Shuts It Down on American Idol with Chrisette Michele’s “Epiphany” Audition!

What is going on, homie? Did you not know? What? Y'all are actually in the room. Hi. What's your name? Colby. Where are you from? Tulsa, Oklahoma. Very nice. One hour away from you, miss me. That is right. What do you do in Tulsa, Oklahoma? I am a people and culture generalist. What's that? It's HR. Thank you. For a dental company. This one could get himself in trouble. If he does, just let him know. Okay. That's what I need, positive affirmation of all my HR violations. That's me, baby. Oh, violations? Yeah. I don't know about that. Violation? I don't think so. What kind of music do you sing? My heart is gospel, obviously, church. But I'm a big oldie. So, like, Patti LaBelle, favorite singer, baby. She came to Tulsa. This year, I was in that thing. She looked at me, gave me a flower. Stop playing with me. But anyway. Lionel has Patti on speed dial. Don't call her, because I'm going to pass out. Patti on speed dial. Don't play with me. I'm not playing with you. I just know that when she said Patti LaBelle, she's nothing to play with. I know. You don't play with Patti. No, you don't. No, no, no. That's what's going to happen. What are you singing for us? Epiphany by Chrisette Michelle. All right. Okay. I'm going to try it, at least. Don't let me down, Tulsa. See, what? That's what you're going to say before I sing? I'm sorry. What? No pressure. Love it. Mm. So you walked in the next morning to find me smiling like nothing ever happened, yeah. You give me some excuse, like you always do. I just kiss your cheek, and this is what I tell you, yeah. So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I don't care what you've been doing, where you've been sleeping. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. How many times did I fall for your lies? How many times did I sit home and cry? Never questioning why. Wow, wow, wow. But it just can't show me, like a symphony. How about I just leave? So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I don't care what you've been doing, and where you've been sleeping. I'm leaving, I'm leaving. All right, all right, all right. Uh-oh. All right. What you looking at? All right, wait, hold it, hold it. Hold it, hold it. Hold it just a minute. Oh, come on, come on. Calling Patty? Calling Patty. Please, not too much. Wait a minute, I'm going to run out the door. No, no, wait a minute. OK, Patty? Hello? Ah, I'm so happy you answered the phone at the right time, darling. There is a young lady here who has been really singing. So I want to introduce you, Colby, Miss Patty LaBelle. Oh, my gosh. Hi, beautiful. Hi, can I have some pie? Let's eat. She wants some pie as well. Oh, my gosh. I love you, too. Yeah, and good luck. Bye-bye, love. My dream is to have the two of you standing side by side. I can't even imagine what that's going to be. Oh, I would love that. Obviously, incredible voice. Oh, my gosh, like, I'm so happy for you. We just met, and I'm like, I feel proud of you, and I'm excited for you. You had, like, dynamics within dynamics, and it was just, yes, like, just amazing. Amazing. You're so good. Thank you. People and culture generalists? HR. You can kiss that little toddle goodbye. First of all, the instrument is just crazy great. Thank you. And the second thing is, you sold us just on your personality alone. Now, you put those two together, and you have a crowd that's pleased with your performance. But I'm telling you, it's amazing to have you here. I'm blessed to be here. Thank you. I think we can vote. I think we can. OK. It's a hallelujah yes. Thank you. It is a yes for me. Well, it's a big old yes for me. Oh, my mom is going to flip. Mom, how are you at celebrating? Let me see you.
