“Hollywood” Anderson, the guitar-strumming singer who made Jennifer Lopez cry, has the perfect name for an “American Idol” contestant. He also has a backstory that affects more young people than many realize: he knows what life is like for a homeless young person.
According to the Covenant House, just under half of homeless people in the United States are under the age of 18. Scary, right? In fact, each year 2 million kids have an experience with homelessness. - MTV
Hollywood Anderson, a formerly homeless New York City subway busker, completely stunned judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and substitute judge Adam Lambert when he sang his original song, “My Best Friend,” during Thursday night’s New York auditions. - People Magazine
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has a recurring bit called “Freestylin’ With the Roots,” in which the Roots make up songs about people in the audience. But when it came time to make up a song about Hollywood Anderson, the audience member showed off his own remarkable voice. - Yahoo.com
