A Texas rancher recently auditioned for “American Idol” and although he isn’t heading to Hollywood, he still got to fulfill part of his country music dream — by singing alongside Luke Bryan.
His “frog hair” remark sparked some banter between the judges. Winkler told them that aside from raising cattle and truck driving, he started singing two years agoLittle did he know that moments later, he’d be living another dream — duetting with Luke Bryan.
After the judges told Winkler that they’d like to hear him with accompaniment, Bryan got out of his judge’s seat, grabbed a guitar, and started singing George Strait’s “Unwound,” alongside Winkler.“I know that song, but I ain’t practiced that song in forever,” Winkler said after the performance. Katy Perry and Lionel Richie were on their feet, clapping along during the song and after, giving the duo a standing ovation.Winkler, unfortunately, didn’t get a golden ticket to advance to Hollywood. But, maybe we’ll see him again in another “American Idol” season.
