Ashley Hess will be performing with “Geek in the Pink” singer Jason Mraz in the latest episode of American Idol airing on Sunday.
In a recent Instagram post, Hess was thrilled to be working with Mraz. The finalist believes the singer is the definition of “good vibes” and was inspired to be collaborating together to cover one of his songs, which also happens to be her favorite!
Hess first impressed judges when she did a cover of Norah Jones’s “Don’t Know Why” on the piano. After singing for the panel of judges, Katy Perry believed she could win the whole competition!
Judge Luke Bryan noticed during the Top 40 showcase round, that Hess seemed more comfortable singing on the piano than with a live band. Hess may consider the suggestion for her duet with Mraz.
