HOLLYWOOD — Cameron Whitcomb can’t be stopped.

The backflipping pipeliner from Kamloops has made it through the latest round of performances on ABC’s American Idol and is now in the competition’s final 24 contestants.

On Monday (Apr. 5), the 18-year-old regaled the audience with a performance of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me, Babe.”

Afterward, judge Katy Perry described Whitcomb as “a head-scratcher” due to his fidgety, high-energy stage presence. Perry encouraged him to “put in the 10,000 hours” of work on his singing before revealing he had made the show’s Top 24.
