The second round of American Idol season 21 Las Vegas tryouts will be broadcast on ABC on Sunday, February 26 at 8 p.m. ET. The show will feature 14 vocalists from across the United States attempting to dazzle the judges with their vocals and acts, including a country artist with no formal training. Cody Winkler, 25, began performing professionally only two years ago. He used to perform melodies to himself while laboring on his property before that. Cody stated in an interview that music comes easily to him and that he was “mesmerized” after seeing the judges, eventually delivering his finest performance on stage.
