Anilee List got a standing ovation from the American Idol judges after an amazing performance that got her the golden ticket to Hollywood. She sang Blue in her audition with her boyfriend backing Anilee during the performance. Taking everything into account, it is not a surprise she impressed the judges and got through to the next round.
Born on 18 May 2000, Anilee was only four when she started performing. There was no stage fright or performance anxiety for the singer who found what she loved at a young age and stuck with it. Singing also came in handy for Anilee when she was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of 10 and that impacted her self-confidence.
In singing, she found a superpower that allowed her to get rid of her symptoms for a small period of time. Seeing a person with Tourette making it in American Idol strengthened her resolve and she continued her journey. It led List to Berkley in Boston where she also found her boyfriend of over two years. So, let's dive into her relationship and American Idol journey so far.
