An audition during a recent episode of "American Idol" became an emotional spotlight on gun violence.
In a fiery speech during Sunday's episode, pop diva and "Idol" judge Katy Perry condemned mass shootings in America, telling Santa Fe singer Trey Louis that "our country has (expletive) failed us."
Louis, who was the last singer to audition Sunday, shared his motivations for appearing on "American Idol." When asked by judge Luke Bryan, the 21-year-old mattress salesman said the show was where his favorite musicians "made it" and that he wanted to shine a light on Sante Fe, Texas.
