Trent Harmon Blows Away Judges on American Idol

Trent Harmon has advanced all the way to the final eight contestants on American Idol.

But the 25-year old waiter from Mississippi has seemingly received more attention over the past few weeks for his facial expressions that his actual voice.

The guy is unafraid to emote, that"s for sure.

But Harmon stepped up and performed a version of "When a Man Loves a Woman" on Thursday night, making it nearly impossible for anyone to discuss anything except his strong chances of winning.

"I love your voice and I particularly love it on high sustained notes," judge Harry Connick Jr. told Harmon. "It’s such a great gift and you do it so well

Jennifer Lopez, meanwhile, told Trent not to change anything at all about his performances.

“Listen, it’s you," she said. "The faces are you. The vibratos are you."

Lopez went on to compare Harmon to La’Porsha Renae, who she had previous labeled as the one to beat on the final season of American Idol.

But this may now be a two horse singer race!

Does Harmon really stand a chance? Can you focus on his singing over his facial expressions?

Check out his Top 8 audition below and prepare to be blown away:

Caitlyn Jenner Shows Support for Ted Cruz

Caitlyn Jenner apparently doesn’t care that Donald Trump has a respectable penis.

She’s voting for Ted Cruz this year.

The transgender reality star has made no secret that she remains a Republican despite her change in gender, telling The Advocate this week that she’s on Team Cruz.

“I like Ted Cruz,” Jenner says. “I think he’s very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man … he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.”

But that isn’t enough for Cruz to lose Caitlyn’s vote.

In the first official trailer (below) for the new season of I Am Cait, which premieres on March 6, Jenner can be seen happily meeting with Hillary Clinton, a strong advocate for LGBT rights and the presumptive Democratic nominee for President.

Nevertheless, Jenner urges her fans to vote Republican.

“I get it. The Democrats are better when it comes to these types of social issues. I understand that,” Caitlyn says of her party’s lack of support for those in the LGBT community.

“[But] if we don’t have a country, we don’t have trans issues.”

You can’t really argue with that logic.

Jenner has met Cruz and labels him as a “nice man.”

This is why she will be voting for him:

“We need jobs. We need a vibrant economy. I want every trans person to have a job.

“With $ 19 trillion in debt and it keeps going up, we’re spending money we don’t have. Eventually, it’s going to end. And I don’t want to see that.

“Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise. The people built it. And they need to be given the opportunity to build it back up.”

Cruz is opposed to gay marriage, to gays serving in the military and has even said he may put an end to gay pride parades.

But Caitlyn is undeterred. Could she serve as his trans ambadassor of some kind?!?

“Let’s say he goes on to be President,” she says. “And I have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues.

“Isn’t that a good idea?”
