American Idol: Jay Copeland Announces Release Of New Single After Exit
One day after he was eliminated from American Idol season 20, Top 7 finalist Jay Copeland announced that he is releasing a new single. Jay is a 23-year-old musician from Salisbury, Maryland. Before his Idol audition, he had been in graduate school on a fellowship for a master's degree in acting after graduating from Salisbury College with a bachelor's degrees in theater and music. Jay received one of the three platinum tickets of the season at his Austin audition after his rousing rendition of «Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)» by Stevie Wonder. He sailed through Hollywood Week and made it to the American Idol Top 24, but America did not vote him into the Top 20. However, judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan chose to save him from elimination and put him through to the Top 20.
