Worship Leader DeWayne Crocker Jr. Upstaged By Grandma At Idol Audition

23-year-old DeWayne Crocker Jr. gave an impressive but it was his grandmother’s presence that stole the show on American Idol.

When we first met DeWayne, he shared his love for music and the Lord. “I’m a worship leader now and I love God. I love what I do at my church and I love singing.” DeWayne has been perfecting his gift for years, even performing at the wedding of tennis star Serena Williams.

Today, he’s taking his stunning vocals to one of the biggest stages as he auditions for American Idol. And this Pensacola native had no problem winning over the judges with his unique rendition of ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ from Bobby McFerrin.

“Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry, be happy now”

After earning 3 ‘yes’ votes from judges Katy Perry, Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryan, DeWayne was on his way to Hollywood. But before he left, he just had to let Lionel know that his great-grandmother was outside and one of his biggest fans.

Of course, she was allowed to meet the legend and it led to one of the best moments all season. Sylvia revealed that she danced to ‘Lady’ at her wedding. That’s when Luke sat down at the piano to play the iconic song, letting Sylvia and Lionel share a very special dance.

What an incredible moment!
