Tate High Grad Jordan Chase Torrez’s Run On American Idol Comes To An End

April 5, 2022

Tate High School graduate Jordan Chase Torrez’s run on American Idol came to an end Monday.

He did not advance past Monday night’s episode and into the Top 24.

“When all this was going on I was in the darkest place of my life at the time and I prayed so hard for God to just give me a sign. I prayed so hard for God to give me someone that will honestly love me for me and truly believe in me and support me. And you know what God gave me he gave me a whole show FULL Of people who believe in me, love me support me, and they pulled me out of the darkest hole of my life I’ve ever been through,” Torrez wrote in a social media post Monday night.

“I didn’t audition for Idol to go in and win this whole thing I wanted to show the world the real Jordan Chase and showcase my style. And to meet amazing people so it sounds like a win to me.”

And during his American Idol journey, Torrez never forgot his hometown.

“I wanna say thank you to my hometown and my friends and family for pushing me and supporting me this far; you guys never let me down,” he said.

On Sunday night’s episode, platinum ticket winner Kenedi Anderson picked Torrez in American Idol’s “Duets Challenge” as they advanced to Monday night’s show.

Anderson said she picked Torrez because she was obsessed with his voice. The duo performed “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers, and they received a standing ovation from judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.

    I was shocked when Jordan was let go! I thought he was amazing and also love his look! Kenidi also looked very disappointed that he wasn’t continuing on American Idol. Jordan got a lot of exposure to music reps and has the ability to continue his journey through another path.

    I never watch this show but I watched just waiting for you tp preform. Sad that I had to listen to such horrible singing waiting for you to perform. Jordan you have such a beautiful voice and great stage presence you should have been picked to continue. .I can’t imagine what the judges were thinking when they picked some of those horrible singers over you. Hold your head high and continue to perform as you are a BIG WINNER in my eyes.

    I thought Jordan was MUCH better than a lot of those that were put through to the top 24! Disappointed in the judges!

    I am a very senior citizen and I loved your voice. You did really good, in my opinion. And isn’t it the people you sing for? I also loved the voice of than young girl with the long blond hair that sang country. I think they made a mistake not putting you two through. Their loss. One they did pick I thought was a mistake. but not because of her voice. I hope neither you or that young girl give up.

    Jordan, it was awesome that you were on American Idol. A hometown musician with a beautiful voice. I’m sure you met many new faces on the show. That’s winning. You never know what may be in your future having met some of the musicians.

    The experience of being on the show is what learning is. After all, not whether you win or lose, but how you have changed because of it. What you take away from it that you never had before. Apply this experience to your future dreams and goals. Losing isn’t always the end, sometimes it becomes the beginning.

    Sending love and support your way.

    I do believe they made a mistake by letting Jordan go, I personally thought he was much better; than some that made
    the 24.
    Keep trying Jordan, don’t give up on your dream…
