The episode of American Idol that aired recently was packed with unforgettable moments and jaw-dropping performances, but the one that really stood out was Katharine McPhee’s duet with Willie Spence.
Willie Spence has been in the public eye ever since the beginning of this season of American Idol. He stunned the judges when he informed them that he intended to win a GRAMMY within the next five years, which propelled him to the forefront of the competition.

Katherine McPhee, who finished in second place during the fifth season of American Idol in 2006 and seemed to be absolutely awestruck by the voice and ability shown by Spence, was the show’s runner-up that year.

Willie Spencer has had a number of spectacular performances on American Idol, but his rendition of Bette Midler’s “Wind Beneath My Wings” is without a doubt the most impressive of any of them.
