On Monday, Rigdon sang a rendition of “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood. Following his performance, Twitter was abuzz with criticisms for judges Kelly Clarkson and John Legend’s critique of Rigdon, calling them unpatriotic.
Lee Greenwood praised Rigdon for taking on his song but also stated that the judges were right for giving both critical and complimentary statements on the performance.
Rigdon is on team Blake, picking him during his blind audition in February. Two other teammates from Team Blake have made it to the final round.
Those remaining include:
- Maelyn Jarmon (Team Legend)
- Dexter Roberts (Team Blake)
- Gyth Rigdon (Team Blake)
- Andrew Sevener (Team Blake)
