Brandon Lake on American Idol

Brandon Lake brought a powerful moment of worship to American Idol’s first-ever Easter “Songs of Faith” special, joining forces with Jelly Roll for a moving duet of their hit “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” The performance, which aired on Easter Sunday, saw Lake open with soulful vocals and guitar before Jelly Roll’s gritty voice joined in for the second verse, creating an electric atmosphere that had both the audience and judges visibly moved.

The collaboration stood out as a highlight of a night dedicated to gospel and faith-based music, with the two artists trading lyrics and harmonizing as a choir lifted the song into a stirring anthem. Their performance not only showcased Lake’s chart-topping Christian sound but also underscored the growing influence of faith-inspired music on mainstream television.
