The judges wondered, “Where has this gift been hiding?” after hearing his voice, which was full of kindness and honesty.
Jamal had a difficult existence because he was born and reared in a difficult part of Mississippi. He spends his days motivating children to strive for excellence and pushing them to overcome challenges in his role as a physical education teacher. But his voice shows its full potential when he takes the stage. He had the chance to showcase not just his skills but also his own self on American Idol.
