American Idol Season 12 comes to a close next week.

But with ratings in a free fall and change undoubtedly on the way, talk is already heating up over who should judge American Idol Season 13.

And all impressed once again, with Candice Glover, Amber Holcomb, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller tacking classics from years ago and current hits from minutes ago.

Watch her sterling rendition here of "Who You Are."
