Tori Kelly And American Idol Hopeful Bond Over Their Love Of Christ - Inspirational Videos

Tori Kelly and American Idol hopeful Madison Watkins bond over their love of Christ. The moment caught on camera was unexpected and powerful!

When Madison Watkins learned she would get to perform with Tori Kelly, she couldn’t contain her excitement on stage. The pair initially sat down to get to know each other and plan their duet. During the interview, they talked about how the love of music has a way of bringing people together because music invokes so many different emotions but it doesn’t hold a candle to the bond we all have as sisters and brothers through Christ.

Through Madison’s vulnerability, Madison revealed how she admired and looked up to Tori. In fact, Tori’s musical career was launched on the stage of American Idol which gave Madison the courage to leave Arkansas and pursue her dreams. Then Madison began to tear up as she confessed it was also Tori’s love of Jesus that encouraged her too.

“It’s so cool to have a girl to look up to that also loves God,” Madison said after Tori told her that she relies on her faith to get through the stress of being in the music industry. She then compliments Tori, “You’re a stud in so many ways,” before confessing, “I’m terrified to sing with you, you’re the best singer in the world,” Madison gushed.

Tori couldn’t help but giggle because she feels like a regular girl who doesn’t live in the spotlight. But, you can tell as the pair perform, they truly bonded because of Madison’s confessions that centered around faith, Jesus, honesty, and the fact they both have curly, gorgeous hair! Their performance knocked the judges out of their seats with their rendition of Stevie Wonder’s hit “Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing.”

Katy Perry went on to say, “My first thoughts when you both came onto the stage was what do your shower drains look like.” But then all joking and questions aside, Katy encouraged Madison to keep doing what she’s doing because it works! This was such a special moment for so many reasons. God knows how to lift us up and bring us together when we need the bond of sisterhood through Christ the most and the best part—the world was watching!
