GRAMMY-nominee Mickey Guyton made an appearance on the three-hour American Idol finale on Sunday (May 23) to perform her critically acclaimed single, “Black Like Me,” alongside former Idol contestant Alyssa Wray.
Guyton and Wray delivered a goosebump-inducing duet and joined hands at the conclusion of the powerful performance.
It was a full-circle moment for Guyton, who auditioned for the show when she was just 22 years old. Her run on the singing competition was cut short however, as she was cut just before the live shows.
