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.

[@murielrichardson3922]

Good old soul, this guy is so good, I hope he gets a record deal , he really should. 🤑🤑

[@jeanmiller98]

I'd guess Ricky Skaggs. He definitely belongs on the Opry.

[@djlau1]

Hé is the new hank Williams

[@ropingtime2092]

Me

[@lynnware9202]

Fabulous!!! Great! Go get your dream! Looking forward to buying your first release!

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

Alex is by far one of the most authentic performers I've ever seen on this program. I'd buy his records as soon as they were released.

[@quentintickler4615]

New EP released today!

[@BrandyD1777]

He is ol' country sound --- rarely heard these days.

[@SuzyQ1956]

And so good at it! Love listening to this kid!

[@johnsmith42688]

Oh man and it's beautiful....absolutely beautiful

[@BrandyD1777]

He is so good at it and sings so beautifully ❤️

[@Jaisee14]

I agree. Country Music is really just pop music with the exception of George Strait and Alan Jackson. I Love Alex.

[@AndrewR9717.]

No ol country sound you mean real country sound

[@dianeoliver9041]

He sounds like Country Gold, bring him on back home to Nashville with you Luke!!! Love this kid!!

[@dianeoliver9041]

@jessica mcdaniels That was to put emphasis on Country Gold ( not country gold ) without using punctuation! Stop nitpicking!!!!

[@williamjarman9076]

" That music coming out of them speakers was solid country gold."

[@frankirwin2377]

Amen Someone open the Door for this Young Man. We need some Country - Real Country. Thank God for Smiling on Alex

[@dispatch444]

Yes sir, my thought exactly. It’s time to bring back the true sound of country music and get rid of the tin can mess they try to pass as country today.

[@lindasuarez1050]

Country music just got a brand-new star. Luke, don’t forget that Grand Ole Opry call you said you’d make. Behind this young man 💯

[@MrBeevee5]

I wonder if folks that don't like country would vote for him?

[@adbmiller24]

If the "country" world will accept him in modern times. This kid it's what we country fans NEED 😁🙂

[@anthonycrenshaw3229]

Finally, an answer to "Who's gonna fill their shoes?"

[@roserollins9471]

I second that emotion and raise it with a big AMEN

My favorite song by George jones and think this young man may fill their shoes I love it

[@Pathfinder-Doc]

YES

[@cindy844]

Best comment ever!

[@johnaskins638]

He's got one of the best voices I've heard on American Idol, hope he wins.

[@jbrown1971]

You need clean out your ears he's not.

[@johnaskins638]

@@jbrown1971 he was a better voice than any of the winners that I've seen off the show. Needing to clean out my ears I would think he was a bad singer.

[@feenok3314]

Totally agree

[@MizzouRah78]

I was raised on traditional country and play and sing myself. It's cool that a young guy is carrying the torch, but he's not that great. Certainly not better than, well...any other winner. Ever. If I'm being honest, I'm a better singer than he is.

[@franksharal5512]

​@@MizzouRah78put the beer down buddy lol you ain't 😆

[@arthyland]

He sounds like the country artists that I grew up listening to on the radio back home in Smiths Falls Ontario , my kind of music , true country through and through.

[@jelless]

Hank Snow?

[@arthyland]

@@jelless Boxcar Willie ,Red Sovine , Tennessee Williams amongst the few.

Alex may be the answer to George Jones's question " Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?"

[@melaniesmithoutdoorlife6331]

Most definately hes gonna fill a lot of shoes

[@jakeblank94]

No sir George is the best no one can fill those gens shoes , he won't make the radio with that sound it's all put up

[@magapickle01]

That's what I was thinking too

[@donjuan6324]

@@jakeblank94 Evidently you do not know how George was,.. he always gave credit where Credit was due, that is what the Song Who's gonna Fill their shoes was all about, It was about recognizing and honoring and giving homage to other past outstanding singers & performers in the industry, who have passed on, recognizing the fact that he himself could not fill ""their" shoes ( thus admitting they were better than him ).Yes George was one of the greatest and one of the élite members of the Grand Ole Opry and had many Gold records and awards, , but I remember an interview he did back in the late 90s where he was talking about his career and the conversation turned to the Future of Country Music and he said ( going by memory here) something to the effect of he recognized the fact that there was a lot of other well deserving outstanding talented singers out there, that will take over the reigns and His only wish was that the the newer artists keep the traditional Country music style alive and keep the torch burning and never forget the ones who paved the way ..

[@jbrown1971]

He never be that good sorry.

[@pamelawing626]

I LOVED this kid. He for sure is channeling true old country. He MUST be there at the end. I think he will be, he has no stage fright, no fear, is himself, and happy to be there. You GO Alex!!!

[@pamelanorth6755]

This young man is amazing. I can't wait until he gets a record deal so I can buy his music!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ruthnagarya2028]

[@RichardSmith-fj3of]

Hello how are you?

[@sushilpatel100]

I am fascinated by this good 'ole boy from Kentucky - His personality and talent are amazing. I could watch him all day. A diamond that will shine forever. Who cares for the new age trappings, this is comfort food, and it is very pleasing. Keep that originality intact. You can own this style and persona.

[@elizabethwinfrey7789]

He reminds me of a roy Clark he is very talented and has that grand Opry voice love it

[@jonathanlife5304]

He literally looks like the caucasian version of Ritchie Valens

[@harolddenton6031]

That was my exact thoughts. He is old school like Roy Clark and Buck Owen's from their hee haw TV show days.

[@TheShoottheradio]

Thought the same.

[@scorpioyt8098]

He so good this real country love it 🥰
