On American Idol‘s May 15th show, it was announced the season 13 finalist Caleb Johnson will be performing with KISS on season finale airing next week.
Johnson, who is this year’s residential rocker, was very excited to learn that he would be performing with the band exclaiming that it is his little brother’s “favorite band.”
To see some of Johnson’s performances this season, including Whitesnake’s Still of the Night and Led Zeppelin’s Dazed and Confused, click here.
Watch him perform Rival Son’s Pressure and Time below.

I don’t know nor never seen this kid. Nor do I really give a crap about athis show…..but I just love the people who continue to rip Eddie. Sounds like a bunch of whining wannabes that just couldn’t muster up what Eddie has achieved….Seriously Ed, just ignore stupidity. Joe in a The Cuse
Stop it !!! Your not getting anything from the box of junk…
Ed, you should take a look at this kid Caleb Johnson. He is trying to bring some rock to the Idol stage. I don’t like Idol, or Care for KISS much at this point. Check out YouTube and watch him Rock , In the still of the night, or dazed and confused. Maybe he can be the next generation of Rock and Metal.
Thank for all you do in Metal,
Im tired of people nationalizing this crap, just like Lambert. Theyre all a joke, and NO i wont watch his crap on youtube. And stop telling people oh he’s just trying to bring rock to the masses, bla, blah ,blah. He sucks just like Idol and Kiss appearance is nothing more than a commercial for their upcoming tour!!!!!!!!!
RATIONALIZING sorry
Peter,
It’s a free country and your entitled to your opinion. However, while I dislike the show as well, there is no denying kid can sing and has pipes which is a rarity today in world full of autotune and pro-tools.

You’re right Dana, sorry,, I over reacted a bit,
I am always impressed by those posters who are willing to apologize. So, thank you Pete.

Maybe kiss can play the real world finale.lol…geez, these guys just need to retire already…they pretty much done all this to do in the industry…not sure what playing a shit show like this does for them?
Ed, you should at least check out this kid Caleb Johnson. Watch him on YouTube Rock out to, In the Still of the night, or Dazed and confused. He is the real deal and is our next generation of Rockers.
Thanks for all you do for Metal !!!
Let all remember the Man on the silver mountain, RJD.
Erich.
As far as I know Eddie watched all of the clips I posted on the site and he thinks he has a good voice.

Erich, I was going to write a response to your ridiculous statement but who has the time or the energy at this point.

Bust out something from the elder…lol
He should play a medley of Beth and Shock Me.
…and wear a “Rock and Roll hall of SHAME ” shirt.
