Local Singer Hits the Big Time on American Idol

One word: breathtaking. That is Colin Jamieson’s performance on American Idol on Saturday was like.

Performing his rendition of Billy Eilish’s “Six Feet Under” to judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan, Jamieson came across a little nervous, but killed the performance.

Though his performance came across as “breathy” to Perry and Bryan, all three judges gave Colin an emphatic yes to move on, even getting a nod from the famous Lionel Ritchie who said he wants to “discover all the rest of the qualities” he has.

Jamieson, a native Boxford wedding singer, will be heading to Hollywood and will be joined by Lynn high school senior Amanda Mena and Berkley College student Grace Kinstler.
