Jamal Roberts Meridian Concert May 31 is set to be one of the most anticipated events of the year, especially following his win on Season 23 of American Idol on May 18, 2025. Just days after being crowned the champion, Roberts jetted from Los Angeles to New York for a flurry of media appearances, including a performance on Good Morning America and a guest spot on Live with Kelly & Mark.
Though he shared his excitement for the whirlwind press tour online, Jamal was just as eager to return to his roots in Meridian, Mississippi. He couldn’t wait to reunite with his family — especially his daughters Harmoni, 6, Lyrik, 4, and his newborn, Gianna Grace — and to visit his students and colleagues at Crestwood Elementary, where he’s affectionately known as “Coach Jamal.”
Jamal Roberts Meridian Concert May 31: A Hometown Celebration
Back in Meridian, Roberts made sure to spend quality time at Crestwood Elementary, where he was spotted helping with after-school “bus duty.” A Facebook Live video captured the heartwarming moment, showing him joking with staff and ensuring students made it home safely. Despite his rising fame and hit single “Heal” soaring on iTunes, Jamal insists that he’ll always make time to be present in the community that raised him.
Even though he likely won’t resume his full-time P.E. teaching role anytime soon, Roberts told USA Today, “It was never about the paycheck — it was always the kids. I’ll always come back when I can to give back.”
