On Friday night, the Wheatley auditorium was filled with spectators enjoying the 14th edition of Tri-M’s Wheatley Idol! Hosted by Ashley Vincenzo and Brenda Zhong, the evening featured performances from nine incredibly talented competitors. From these nine initial competitors, four finalists were selected by our “celebrity” judges: Ms. Calvagno, Mr. Gadamowitz and Mr. Orlovsky. These four finalists then performed another song and the winner was selected by audience vote.
This year’s ten competitors were:
Charlotte Iannone
Julia Dioguardi
Sarah Amselem
Brianna Werny
Jaime Behar
Kajal Kapoor
Krittika Prajapati
Emma Melnikov
Shruti Goyal
From these nine initial competitors, the four finalists selected were: Shruti Goyal, Emma Melnikov, Kajal Kapoor and Brianna Werny! Each of these finalists performed another song for the audience.
Shruti Goyal, Round 2
Brianna Werny, Round 2
Emma Melnikov, Round 2
Kajal Kapoor, Round 2
After these three performances, the audience voted. When the vote count came in, Kajal Kapoor was declared the winner of Wheatley Idol XIV! She performed one more song for the audience:
