You’re Gonna Love Lakisha Jones!
My wife got me hooked on American Idol a couple of years ago, and this video explains why. Lakisha Jones is an assuming single mom from Flint, Michigan, who works as a bank teller. But holy cow can she sing! Here’s a video from Thursday’s American Idol, which starts with her bio and ends with her singing "You’re Gonna Love Me" from Dream Girls. As Simon Cowell puts it at the end of her song, she is truly in "a different league" than her competitors.

The video is no longer available. : ( I hope that you’ll see Amazing Grace and post your thoughts about it.
