Fil-Am singer Francisco Martin wowed 'American Idol' judges during Hollywood Week with his cover of "Hold Back the River" by James Bay.

Fil-Am singer Francisco Martin went viral last February when his audition for 'American Idol' Season 18 aired. Despite the nerves he was feeling at the time, Francisco was able to push through with his performance to earn a "Yes" from the judges.

During the show's Hollywood Week, the aspiring singer was able to impress the judges, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, once more with his cover of "Hold Back the River" by James Bay.

Before stepping on stage, Francisco received pep talk from the show's host, Ryan Seacrest, on how to keep his nerves in check.
