American Idol judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie were emotionally moved by Jesse Findling, who delivered a memorable performance despite having a stutter. In Us Weekly's exclusive clip from the Monday, January 26, premiere, Findling shared how his passion for singing began, saying, "I am 19 years old. I'm a college student right now, but I've been singing ever since I was little with my brother and sister. We would just sing with each other, and since then, I did choirs in school." Findling explained that singing helped with his speech disorder.
