Yoli sang an original song for her audition

Many American Idol 2022 auditions have seen singers perform all kinds of songs from top-selling, globally recognized artists such as Whitney Houston and Adele.

However, Yoli Mayor decided to sing her own original song, Beautiful Broken Things, during her audition.

Luke Bryan gave very positive feedback after Yoli’s performance, saying, “I love your command, when you start singing, people pay attention and perk up.“

Katy Perry had mixed feelings about Yoli’s vocals, however, and said, “I think you have a really cool texture to your voice but I was trying to hear you play with the dynamics.“

Is Yoli on Instagram?

Yes, Yoli can be found on Instagram with over 26,000 followers @yolimayor.

Yoli often takes the gram to share singing videos, selfies, promos for events she performs at, and snaps with her partner @seatbeltart.
