It was a night of surprises on “American Idol.” In addition to none of the contestants being eliminated, Candice Glover got a big surprise from her idol Drake on Thursday’s results show. After performing his song “Find Your Love” the prior night, Drizzy left the South Carolina singer an audio message telling her how much he enjoyed her performance.

“I’m so proud of you,” he told an emotional Candice.
