His American Idol Journey

In the audition round, Arthur Gunn — whose real name is Dibesh Pokharel — sang Bob Dylan’s “Girl From The North Country.” When Lionel Richie wanted more from him, he floored the judges with his rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen The Rain.”

An awestruck Luke Bryan even asked Arthur if he wanted to open his Detroit, Magician show in two weeks. He then labeled the Kathmandu, Nepal native “a unique artist” — capable of a global takeover.

Arthur’s performance during Hollywood Week was even better. With sister Rupa in attendance, he beautifully sang Otis Redding’s classic “Hard to Handle.”

At the end of the stellar performance, all three judges pleaded with him to sing more. So impressed was he with Arthur’s stage presence that Lionel Richie compared his aura to the spirit of late-great Bob Marley.

Hollywood Week 2 saw Arthur ace both duet & solo performances and advance to Top 40. For the solo round, the Nepali singer/songwriter opted to redo his first audition song — “Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”

Arthur’s complicated arrangement, however, almost jeopardized his entire American journey. In the end, he scrambled to put out an outstanding show for the judges. Lionel couldn’t help but bring himself to tears after witnessing Arthur sing.

Serving to Lionel’s wishes, Arthur made a killing with Bob Marley’s “Is This Love?” The performance was enough for the judges to send the Nepali Pride to the Top 20.

Singing from home, Arthur gave it all with “Lovin’ Machine” by Wynonie Harris. Again, all three judges sang praises about his musicianship.

Upon reaching the Top 10, Arthur decided to put his spin on John Denver’s classic “Take Me Home, Country Road.”

After advancing to the Top 7, Arthur beautifully sang Samuel E. Wright’s “Kiss the Girl” during the Disney Round. He then performed Bon Iver’s “Hey Ma” on Mother’s Day.

Although Arthur didn’t win the “American Idol” title, he cemented his status as one of the most promising musicians.
