Keyla Richardson, a 29-year-old single mother and music teacher from Pensacola, Florida, performed a performance of The Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends" on Monday's American Idol. The performance left judge Lionel Richie speechless, comparing it to Janis Joplin and Tina Turner. Guest advisor and judge Keke Palmer was moved to tears during rehearsals, praising Richardson's spirit and performance. Richardson has been a standout since her Season 24 audition and has previously landed her first No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart with "So Good".
