Kent resident Stefano Langone has advanced to the top 60 on “American Idol” and a spot in the Feb. 23 show from Las Vegas when contestants must perform songs by the Beatles.<\/p>\n
Langone performed Stevie Wonder’s “You Can Feel It All Over” in Thursday’s competition on Fox to earn a berth in the next round, according to www.thehollywoodgossip.com.<\/p>\n
“This is it, this is our life,” Langone said on the show just prior to a brief clip of him singing followed by snippets of performances by Jovany Barreto and Jacee Badeaux.<\/p>\n
“You can breathe a little easier,” host Ryan Seacrest told Langone, Barreto and Badeaux after they were told they were moving on to the next round.<\/p>\n
Langone, 21, a Kentwood High School graduate, was one of 100 contestants who were still alive for the title going into Thursday’s show.<\/p>\n
The top 24 contestants are expected to be announced on the Feb. 24 broadcast. Those 24 then move on to sing on the March 1-2 shows. The first elimination round is March 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
