Editor's note

Candice Glover, the 2013 American Idol winner

A church-trained singer from South Carolina who turned Idol's 'I Am Beautiful' into a signature moment.

For a quick sense of her voice, try 'I Am Beautiful' first. Then maybe 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' to hear her stretch out on something older.

Glover's version of 'I Am Beautiful' became one of those Idol performances people remember years later. It wasn't just a cover, it felt like a statement from a singer who'd been working in church choirs long before the show. Her take on 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' shows she can handle classic soul material with real authority.

She won American Idol in 2013, then released 'Music Speaks' the following year. A self-titled album came out in 2018, and she's kept performing with a steady band that includes guitarist Michael O'Hara and keyboardist Marcus Williams.
