Francisco Martin Makes Top 11 of ‘American Idol,’ Sings ‘Falling Like the Stars’ in Bid to Enter Top 7
Filipino-American singer Francisco Martin makes it to Top 11 of American Idol after singing Katy’ Perry’s “Teenage Dream” in last week’s Top 20 home performance.
“I just made top 10 and I feel speechless to be honest. I actually didn’t think I was gonna make it. I was super scared at the end. I was shaking, my legs were quivering. I am just super grateful. Thank you guys for voting for me, for voting me in. I am just super grateful. I can’t talk right now. I am still in awe. Thank you guys so much,” he said.
On his bid to advance in the show’s Top 7 next week, Francisco takes on James Arthur’s “Falling Like the Stars.”

The performance made Katy Perry cry.
“When you sang those lines about having four kids and then one on each knee, I was like — yeah sure it was hormones, but it was believability too. It was real believability and I felt it,” she said.
He also got praises from Ritchie who tagged him as a “true talent” and Bryan who told him that he’s a “diamond in the rough.”

It only took 5 seconds for the judges after Francisco Martin from San Francisco entered the audition room of American Idol Season 2020 to discern that he is timid and very nervous. In his introduction video, the 18-year-old admitted that he always had a struggle with self-confidence.
Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryan approached him to help him calm down before he sings. And when he opened his mouth, the judges were smitten. His take on “Alaska” by Maggie Rogers blew the judges away.
Katy Perry had a word of advice to Francisco: “I know you’re nervous but you have to figure it out because it’s about to come.”
Bryan has one word written on his notes: WINNER.
