One "American Idol" wannabe with an emotional story and big voice had Jennifer Lopez in tears on last night's episode.
17-year-old Shelby Twenten from Minnesota performed "Idol" winner Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home," after describing her battle with bipolar disorder.
Twenten said she had "been struggling with depression since fourth grade" and "Idol" has "given me a reason to stay on my meds. When I'm off my meds, I'm incoherent and not myself."
She added that singing has "made me so happy and gotten me over so much stuff."
Shelby's singing clearly made J.Lo happy too -- as she said "You brought tears to my eyes! I love that song too, but somebody's gotta really sing it!"
It was three yeses for Twenten -- she's going to Hollywood!
