HIS VOICE IS BIGGER THAN MY FUTURE
Is this the only song he knows lol
1:21 CHILLSSSSSSSSS
Without a doubt he is a diamond that the worlds needs ... Absolutely wonderful voice
Game over.
I know it’s terrible to say but I see him being someone’s backup singer , although he has a great voice I don’t think it’s unique enough to market
He is so amazing
Omg it’s so so beautiful❤️
Goose bumps....ohh man!!!
He's gonna win american idol this one is my favorite but let's be honest the white girl is going to win I hope he wins please vote they have real singers at least almost not all of th are. Good but him I'm going to vote to the end
Wow what an amazing voice!
He's gona win this no doubt
1:43 is pure 🔥🔥
Finally getting recognized
Love when someone’s voice gives you chills
I think Katy was saying "where do you see yourself in 5 years" because he needs to think about his health and let his dedication be as strong, as it is for music. Determination to make it in that industry. Luke and Lionel are hearing his voice, as do I. She just a bit more realistic.
Take my money cause I'll buy the album and tickets to his show! It's just natural like it comes from his soul! If he doesn't win he's definitely getting a record deal!
Going to be just like Kane Brown except I knew who this guy was. He was on Steve Harvey a few years back. I thought he did another singing competition but regardless this dude has some pipes.
He ready now...!!
ABOUT TIME WILLIE!!!
Wow! Just Wow!
Wow so beautiful voice
He’s a diamond 💎
Yesss I remember that KGfilm video in class you go WILLIE 🥰‼️
