Heartthrob ‘American Idol’ Contestant Fritz Hager Impresses With James Bay Cover: Watch

From guarding property to stealing hearts, Fritz Hager has been something of a surprise package on American Idol.

On another elimination night Sunday (April 24), the 22-year-old singer made new fans (and set hearts aflutter) with a performance of James Bay’s “Let It Go”.

The Tyler, TX native is a former security guard. With a string of well received covers of songs by Billie Eilish, Dean Lewis and more this season, it’s a good bet he can leave that career behind.
