Ethan's American Idol audition of 'You'll Think of Me' earned him a golden ticket and had Harry Connick Jr. 'digging it' and Keith Urban 'dug it too.'

Ethan had Keith's vote before he even opened his mouth to sing when he told Keith 'I'm a big Keith Urban fan.' He got Harry Connick Jr and Jennifer Lopez's vote after singing and America's vote too.

I am not a fan of @AmericanIdol but if Ethan Harris makes it onto the show I will definitely tune in every week. So adorable and talented.

Music isn't Ethan's only talent. He graduated from MVCC with an illustration degree and showed off his work of Keith Urban, which Keith signed. Ethan has also drawn pictures of Kellie Pickler, James Wesley and Taylor Swift. By the looks of his work, he has something to fall back on if the singing career doesn't work out, but we have a feeling he won't need a plan B.
Ethan says his musical influences are Keith Urban, Hunter Hayes, who he's met before, and Taylor Swift.
Ethan has come a long way since performing the National Anthem at FrogFest in 2012. We sure hope we can have him back this year to take the stage.
We're pulling for you Ethan and we'll be watching your Idol journey.
GO ETHAN! #TeamEthanHarris
