VIDEO: Nanaimo singer returns to American Idol stage
NANAIMO — It was triumphant return to a national television audience for a local singer.
Lauren Spencer-Smith returned to American Idol, not as a contestant, but as a guest performer during the Sunday, April 14 episode of the show’s 22nd season.
Spencer-Smith sang “Fingers Crossed”, a single she released in 2022 and previously reached number one on charts in Ireland and Norway.
“It’s so exciting, so many years ago when I was 16 being on this show and wanting to achieve so many things,” Spencer-Smith said to host Ryan Seacrest after her performance. “Being invited back here now…it’s so amazing.”
