You may know Trent Harmon as the very last winner of FOXâs hit show, American Idol, but we here at Nashcountrydaily.com got to know Trent as one hell of good singer.
The Memphis native stopped by the NashCountryDaily.com offices this afternoon (Sept. 7) for a special Facebook live performance and to show just why he won Season XV of American Idol.
The Season XV winner treated us to songs like Marty Stuartâs âBurn Me Down,â âFalling,â Chris Stapletonâs âWhat Are You Listening Toâ âThereâs A Girl,â and a hair-raising rendition of Siaâs âChandelierââa must see.
Trent said of the Stapleton tune, âThatâs my favorite song in the world. It hasnât been replaced yet. I got to sing it on the show one week, very early in the competition when no one had even sung a country song at all. It was so expected of me to sing country every week that I had to play the game of âalright we gotta flip it, I gotta do something to keep people interested in watching the show.â This particular week they said âPick anything you want.â I said âalright, I gotta do it.â So I told them what I wanted to do and they said âyouâre gonna go home because nobody has ever heard of that song.â I sang the song and no one clapped. No one.â
