A standout audition from Sunday night is 25-year-old Sam Sparks from Dardanelle, AK. He actually didn’t sign himself up, but was brought to the attention of the Idol producers by his best friend Malik. Sam underwent a life-changing event after breaking his back in a car accident, and it was music that helped him get through.
“Two years ago, I was headed to a shop that was two miles away. It was rainy, it was a little bit wet,” Sam recalls. “The vehicle had some kind of failure and lost control and blew off the road 35 yards or so and landed and then hit a parked car head-on. I couldn’t move my legs. I immediately knew that my back was broken, and that left me paralyzed from the waist down.”

With that said, Sam performed an original for the judges, “Colorado Gray.”
“I would say with a gritty rock tone like yours but with those country acoustic instruments and those chord changes in the song, I love how your voice is yours and different than what we have,” Luke added.
