In line with that, Canaan took Luke, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie to church with his performance of “I Need Your Glory” by Earnest Pugh. So moving and impressive was Canaan’s performance that Lionel couldn’t sit still. We have never seen him respond like that to a performance in all the seasons of American Idol that he’s judged.
While Lionel tried to compose himself, Carrie weighed in, saying, “The words velvet, butter, it was smooth but powerful. I was, ‘Where have you been the last 17 years?’ You have a gift. Thank you for bringing your gift to us. I am kind of speechless.”

Handing it to Canaan, Lionel said, “This Platinum ticket means you can bypass the first round of Hollywood, and you get to sit back and watch all the people you are going to slay. I present this to you from the heavens above.”
