Asia’h Epperson, a small town country girl by her own admission, wowed the audiences and the judges in her audition singing “How do I live” by LeAnn Rimes.

Asia’h lost her father to an accident two days before the audtion. Left with a difficult decision to make, she decided to go ahead with the audtion with the support of friends and family. The extraordinary courage she displayed by going ahead with the competition won her many fans. A visibly nervous Asia’h Eppserson sang a couple of lines from the popular song from LeAnn Rimes and though she did not complete the song came across as a very talented singer and one with a lot of potential.

All three judges, Simon, Paula and Randy all had very little hesitation is saying yes to Asia’h Epperson going into the next round of Season 7 of the American Idol competition. Paula was infact so moved by the courage and the emotion that was on display when Asia’h Epperson took to the stage and sang her heart out that she was moved to tears and had to leave the set to compose herself.
