American Idol is no stranger to bringing back former contestants, but viewers were surprised Sunday night when Alyssa Raghu returned five years after her previous stint.
Raghu understandably wanted the third time to be the charm and had taken several years away from the show to hone her talent following her second appearance in 2019.
In one of the show’s most shocking moments, Raghu was there to support her friend, Julia Davo, who was given similar critiques to come back when her voice had grown.
“I know you said that my voice was going to grow until it was 21,” Raghu recalled.
“You said that when I was, like, 15. Just for giggles, I’d love to sing you something.”
Perry was initially very excited about hearing how Raghu’s voice had changed, noting that it was “one last chance on the oval.”

Alyssa Raghu is throwing her hat back into the American Idol ring, hoping that a third time will be the charm. The singer, who previously competed in Season 16 (2018) and Season 17 (2019), made a special appearance on Sunday in support of her roommate — and ended up auditioning for a third shot at victory herself.
Raghu’s friend, 20-year-old Julia Davo, auditioned with a vibrato-heavy performance of David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” that left the judges feeling a little shaky. They essentially told Davo the same thing they once told Raghu, that she should come back after she’s given her voice some time to grow.
