Talented 15-year-old gets surprised by army dad during american idol audition

Good dads are heroes their kids look up to, and it’s one of the greatest pride any parent could have.

Kaylin Hedges is a 15-year-old singer from Westchester who has big dreams at such a young age.

She joined American Idol and she sang “I’m Already There” by Lonestar, a song she dedicates to her dad.

During her interview with the judges, she was asked by judge Katy Perry who her biggest inspiration is, and she said it was her dad, Sgt. 1st Class Jeffrey Hedges who was stationed miles away in Hawaii.

When she started singing, you could hear and feel the genuineness in her powerful voice. It’s evident in every note and lyric how she misses her dad so much.
