Coco Talanoa with American Idol contestant Jezzerrelli Afe-Togia

Meet Samoan American Idol contestant Jezzerrelli Afe-Togia who made it through to Hollywood Week.

Unfortunately her audition wasn't screened in the auditions that aired on TV or on the American Idol Youtube channel but she was part of the first night of Hollywood Week auditions shown on Sunday night.  

** Spoiler Alert ** She didn't make it past Hollywood Week but we had the opportunity to chat with Jezzie about her experience and she also shares her original audition tape which she had to send to Beyonce's team for clearance which ultimately earned her a spot at the auditions.

We hope to see her back next year and you can follow Jezzie on instagram here
