Theatre sophomore Seth Lyons advanced far enough through the early rounds of ABC’s American Idol singing competition that he was invited to Hollywood to continue filming the series. A tenor, Lyons is a longtime fan of the show and was overjoyed to advance past the audition phase.

Although he was eliminated during this week’s two-part episode, VCU News spoke with him about his experience in the competition.

“I think it was every singer’s dream, we’re always like, ‘Oh, I wish I was on “American Idol,”’ but I never thought in my life that I would actually audition and then make it to Hollywood like that,” he said. “That’s crazy. That’s amazing that that could actually happen. If I had told myself this when I was younger, I would probably be like, ‘you’re lying.’”

For his “Idol” auditions, Lyons sang “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga and “Stone Cold” by Demi Lovato.

“I always liked ‘Bad Romance’ ’cause I just thought it was such a fun song that I liked as a child,” Lyons said. “And then I wanted to sing it like in my own kind of style. That was the song that went the best, in my opinion. And I did ‘Stone Cold’ ’cause it’s just such a pretty song.”
