There has been a large outpouring of support for Jeverson Ramirez from Grenadians following his appearance on last Sunday’s episode of American Idol.
Jeverson auditioned for the hit talent show last year and received a golden ticket for the second round of auditions in Hollywood, California.
The 28-year-old funk, soul and pop artiste is the first Grenadian to appear on the show in its 21-year history.
Following the airing of his performance, Grenadians took to social media express to their joy and offer words of encouragement.
“You’ve made Grenada so proud,” one person wrote. “The Spice Isle has a lot of talent and the world needs to know .”
Another person wrote: “Congratulations on making it through. Continue to Rep 473”
Fellow entertainers are also showing Jeverson love.
Soca star V’ghn commented: “Just the beginning of your Great journey bro! You’re a star make yourself and your loved ones proud. God is great”
Grenadian-American actress and media personality Amanda Seales described Jeverson as “incredible” adding “I don’t find anybody on American Idol can even come close”.
She continued: “I have seen this man keep an entire party going for hours…his voice never gets tired. He keeps singing and singing and singing and it gets better and better. We have to wish Jeverson the best of luck at American Idol. I just hope they don’t miss an opportunity to elevate this individual to the level of star he already is.”
Win, lose or draw, Seales said now is Jeverson’s time to take the world by storm. (Loopews)
