‘American Idol’ Contestant Turns Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ Right into a Vocal Exercise: Watch

A very long time in the past, in what looks like a galaxy far far-off, Radiohead had a grunge-era breakthrough with “Creep,” a belter that sounds recent as a daisy to at the present time.

“Creep” allowed the Oxford different rockers to maneuver away from On A Friday, their earlier incarnation, but it surely was a one-and-done. With their followup album, 1995’s The Bends, the Brits had sonically moved a light-year forward.

“Creep” is an iconic track within the band’s catalog, it’s not often carried out dwell and appears like nothing that got here from Thom Yorke and Co. earlier than or since.

The model we heard Monday night time (April 18) on ABC’s American Idol additionally appeared like nothing we heard earlier than or since.

Christian Guardino, the 21-year-old with the spectacular pipes, and a former contestant in America’s Acquired Expertise, look a left flip when he tackled “Creep” as an over-the-top vocal exercise.

It turned out to be a brutal night time, definitely for six contestants. The axe swung, and the batch of 20 remaining contestants was shaved all the way down to 14 based mostly on America’s in a single day votes and the judges’ alternatives.

Guardino made the reduce.

Try his efficiency beneath.
