Watch this contestant on ‘American Idol’ dazzle and stun the judges with his take on Lionel Richie's ‘Hello.’ Victor Solomon is the singer in this video, and his vocals were so impressive. And his rendition of this classic song got him a ticket straight to Hollywood!

‘I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams, I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?’

What a wonderful performance! And how monumental it must have felt to Victor to sing one of Lionel Richie's songs right in front of him! 

“In my entire career, I have never had anyone take ‘Hello’ and preach on ‘Hello.’ That was really, really special,” shared Lionel Richie. He later goes on to say: “To me, right now you’re top 20 as far as I feel in terms of your own lane. God bless you, man.”

The other judges, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood, also shared how impressed they were with Victor’s audition.

“I’m really excited to see your interpretations of different songs through different rounds. So sing all these genres. Have fun with your talent. Because it is really good,” said Luke Bryan.

“You are blessed. You have been given an incredible gift,” Carrie Underwood shared. “So many yeses from me. I’m excited for you!”

Many people online also commented on Victor’s rendition of the song and how impressive he was during the performance.

“The best male audition so far,” one person shared online. “His tone is so gorgeous. His voice is so powerful. And he has so much control over his voice. So, so good.”
