Dougherty County- A South Georgia man may show up on the next American Idol show.

Jaycen Edwards, 20, auditioned for the show in Atlanta in August. He competed against thousands of other singers and made it at least to the third round of competition.

"I'm going to do what I did," Edwards said. "I'm not going to practice. I'm just gonna do what I feel like doing. I sang and they said, you're going to the next round."

Edwards is sworn to secrecy and can't tell us too much, but you may want to keep your eyes open for him. The next season of American Idol begins airing in January.
