A familiar face showed up to audition for American Idol in Los Angeles!

Matheus Fernandes appeared on the January 30th episode of the singing competition where he took on Sam Cooke‘s “A Change Is Gonna Come” for the judges.

“We’re looking for a unique special person and you fit that bill,” Nicki told him, as he started to tear up.
