MK Nobilette, First Openly Gay "American Idol" Contestant, Gives Amazing Opening Performance: WATCH
American Idol is spicing things up this season by going a little gay: After judge Harry Connick Junior cradled a nervous contestant in his strong man arms and then rapped a few bars of Big Freedia, we were gifted with our first openly gay contestant, MK Nobilette.
Last night Nobilette delivered her first performance on the main stage—and it's rated BBB for "Bitches Better Beware."
MK's rendition of "All of Me" by John Legend brought tears to Jennifer Lopez's eyes. “Getting up there can be so daunting but at the end of the day it’s just about making people feel something… It’s so easy to pick the big singers, but then somebody comes and you realize that’s not what it’s about,” said J. Lo.
