three American Idol judges after his performance and was given the nod for
the show’s upcoming sessions in Hollywood.

contemporary style,” Cheryl Greene, Sligh’s voice professor at North
Greenville, said. “It will be exciting to see what happens.”

Sligh sang several times at special occasions on the university campus
while he was a music student at North Greenville, including leading worship

to win the sixth season the popular show, according to the university news
