BY KARLY JEFFERSON

Lindsey Idol 2016 was one for the history books. Winner, AJ Robinson, performed, almost exclusively, original songs that highlighted his rapping skills, adding a refreshing twist in last year's Lindsey Idol performances.

This year's Idol is predicted to be even more exciting and inventive. SGA Student Body President, Hannah McCandless, discussed the details.

McCandless wants to sustain the same atmosphere of fun and entertainment of past Idol's with, in her words, "some added surprises." Assured to be returning this year is the ever-popular feature of a lip-sync act between performers.

President McCandless stated, "I've been asked by so many people if I'm going to try and keep up the tradition of performing in the lip-sync act, I always tell them that my main priority is keeping the show running. If it just so happens to work out so I can perform, that would be awesome!"

SGA encourages students from all aspects of life at Lindsey Wilson to participate and support this campus tradition. President McCandless insisted "if you can't come to Idol in person, then watch on periscope, or follow along on Twitter."

This year there is a collective effort from organizations all across campus for Lindsey Idol to be a success. With more live-streaming and backstage coverage than ever before, this year's Idol is shaping up to be something that will be remembered for years to come.
