ABOUT TALENT RECAP
Talent Recap is the #1 independent website which is exclusively dedicated to the fans of the most popular talent shows around the world. As passionate fans of these shows, we provide news, analysis and fan engagement on America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, The Masked Singer, The Voice, The X Factor, American Idol, The Four and its contestants.
ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in February 2021 for its forth season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2019, as the virtual Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering many cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

So in heaven do you have all your positive attributes, and none of your negative? Honestly asking?

You don't go to heaven when you die you go to sleep and wait for God to wake you up for judgement.

"It's going to take hard work, but I feel like I can do it" I love that response! Maybe he does know he's good but he's not going in there acting like he owns the place. He knows no matter how good you are, it is HARD in the music industry.

I've had to revisit this video many times, because I find his version of Diamonds very impressive. The way his voice filled the air left me in a trance, I have goosebumps all over.

[@roythompson4363]

Probably one of the best covers I've heard. Rip Willie.

[@ogagaadjarho6251]

I've listened to this version by Willie Spence over and over since he auditioned for American Idol, and no other version made any sense anymore. His voice quality, his phrasing, tone....etc everything hits home for me. Even after youve gone, your voice lives on in our hearts and mind. Youre greatly missed ❤

[@CBB316]

I’m sad I found out a year ago that he passed away. I can literally listen to this man in the style of singing for the rest of my life every day so emotional so anointed so amazing I’m sad to hear he passed.

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

1:59 he does the craziest run I think I’ve ever heard. Absolutely perfect pitch/control/and power. And then he had runs after that we’re crazy as well. This is one of the top end vocal performances ever. Belongs next to Whitney’s I will always love you
