Candice Glover will make an appearance on American Idol’s “Grand Finale Week” this week.

The St. Helena Island native and “American Idol” season 12 winner is expected to sing on the show’s final night on Thursday, according to her mother Carol Glover.

While Glover could not say what her daughter, who is already in Los Angeles, might sing, she did say she is excited to be back on the stage where it all started.

“She is very excited,” she said. “They are all just enjoying being around each other.”

Bluffton’s Lee Jean, 16, is also in California for the big week. The show airs at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.
