Rogers sang Stevie Wonder‘s “Ribbon in the Sky” for his audition and got a standing ovation from the judges.
After his performance, “You have real control and passion and you can be a star,” Howie Mandel told Rogers.
“You spent so much time going down that medical road. I think it was a waste of time and schooling because you should be a singer.”
And Simon Cowell said, “Your vocal is stunning.” He added, “I want to say something. I’ve never said this before to a doctor: You’re sick. Really sick. You’re one of the best singers we’ve had in the competition so far, I’ve gotta tell you.”
