On Friday night, the Wheatley auditorium was filled with spectators enjoying the 15th edition of Tri-M’s Wheatley Idol! Hosted by Kavina Amin and Kaya Amin, the evening featured performances from eight incredibly talented competitors. From these eight initial competitors, three finalists were selected by our “celebrity” judges: Mr. Ardito, Mrs. Vasselman and Mr. Papasevastos. These three finalists then performed another song and the winner was selected by audience vote.
This year’s eight competitors were:
Krittika Prajapati

Emma Melnikov
Danielle Joshua
Charlotte Iannone

After these second round performances, the audience cast its votes! While the votes were being tallied, the crowd was treated to a performance by last year’s Wheatley Idol winner, Kajal Kapoor!
