American Idol returns to Houston
American Idol has crowned country, pop and R&B champs in its 10-season run. Bryan Thorson thinks it’s time for a new sound: country-goth.
“I’ve always enjoyed singing. Everything I do, I sing. Washing clothes, doing dishes. I sing all the time, ” he says.
Thorson, 19, traveled more than three hours on a bus with a friend from Lufkin for a shot at stardom.
