ABC57's Colleen Bormann is in Nashville for the American Idol auditions in front of judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Ritchie.
Michiana silver ticket winner David Smith didn't make it through to the next round but says the experience has made him more confident.
"Before this I couldn't even stand in front of people and sing and now I can show more facial expressions," Smith said.
Smith's mom says they're sad about the outcome, but she's proud he made it this far.
