Just Sam turned to former Idol champ Kelly Clarkson for her performance of "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," giving the tune her own special twist that earned high praise from the show's judges. Arthur Gunn was up next, singing Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want to Be," impressing the judges with his powerful rendition. And Jonny West finished out Round 1 strong with his version of "You Can't Keep a Good Man Down."
