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 heard the same night KISS is on American Idol, Ace and Peter are back up judges at a Karaoke contest at a county fair in New York.
Ill check him out.maybe he will replace pearcy or some other metal band like lamburt did..\m/
Kiss is just so boring at this point. And that’s a great point. This kid is good enuff to to play with Kiss but Ace and Peter are not?? Hue me a fucking break!!!
I hear Vinnie Vincent is coming on as Veronica Vincent with a pearl necklace.
My wife and I watch Idol every season just to see if any rockers or rock songs show up. It’s a great music show that even our kids watch. This kid has a killer voice. More bluesy than metal. Eddie he has more in common with Glenn Hughes and The winery dogs than kiss but should be a good performance. Plus he is a showman..slamming mike stands, falling down etc. Love it or hate the show you cannot deny the power of having little kids across America “discovering” some of these bands for the first time. There is a power in that and that alone could change the pop trend. Maybe. Either way it is entertaining. Maybe next year it will be Motley Crue or W.A.S.P…..ha ha
