The judges are hard at work going around the nation to find the next American Idol. In fact, the tour bus even came to Portland this summer, and this past weekend, our sister station Z107.3 along with Fox 22 in Bangor, held their own Eastern Maine Idol, and are sending  Paige Bacon to go audition for a producer, and a meet and greet with Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr.

Well, this Nashville contestant, is already the big winner. Not only did he win his golden ticket, but then he asked Jennifer Lopez to slow dance with him, and Harry Connick Jr played the piano and Keith Urban played the guitar,  while the contestant serenaded J-Lo with Sam Smith's "Stay With Me". He was going to dance holding her hand, but J-Lo muckled right onto him, and said if we're going to slow dance, we're going to slow dance properly!

American Idol will resume in January 2015
