Katie Stevens Sings "At Last" on American Idol, Blows Away Judges and Idol Fans

American Idol is only a few days into its 9th season, but Idol hopeful Katie Stevens is already a stand out. The 16 year-old high school student from Middlebury, CT, had a heartwarming and heartbreaking feature on Idol's season debut.

Katie is very close to her grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and the aspiring star hopes to make her dreams come true in time for her grandmother to witness it. Katie got things off to a good start with her soulful rendition of well known jazz ballad, "At Last." Etta James, Celine Dion and Beyonce have all sung what Simon Cowell calls "a very difficult song to sing." Simon also said that Katie "sang it quite well." She sure did!
