American Idol's Ada Vox Is "Feeling Good" After Last Night's Scorching Performance

While there was a huge amount of attention being paid to former FBI Director James Comey's interview on ABC last night, it should not be ignored that also on ABC, American Idol contestant Ada Vox delivered a scorching rendition of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good."

Ada Vox is the drag incarnation of Adam Sanders, who had previously auditioned for the reality talent show but been cut in early rounds.

Praising Ada's performance last night, judge Katy Perry declared, “You’ve heard of the expression ‘wig snatched’? Wig flew!"

Lionel Richie agreed with Perry tweeting later, "You are on another level!"

Folks, come to grips with the reality that a drag queen just might win American Idol — or at least wind up in the Top 2.

I cannot even begin to put you into any category @AdaVox, you are on another level! 📈#AmericanIdol

Former American Idol contestant Melinda Doolittle (one of the greatest I might add) had more praise:

Ada. Vox. That opening…that commitment…that range…I just…I love her so. #AmericanIdol
