He sings every song from the heart. You can't teach that. It's just natural for him. He is the king of the ballad, and his voice is unique and easily recognizable. I hope he will be able to cope with the fame. May his character hold up under all the temptations he'll experience. God be with him.

And it's heartwarming to see a young man so family oriented at that age. I think he actually turned 20 on the show. So he was 19 when he auditioned. I think that maturity, coupled with his humility, his all around likeability and of course his raw talent helped him to grab the convetted titled. His looks doesn't hurt either😂😁😁

[@lifestooshortforcraziness3079]

larrie soberano REALLY !!!??? I don't know why , hell he could barely sing . American Idol Is racist , don't nobody win this bull crap but you all and not bcoz you sing better , it boils down to being white no doubt about it . I've seen some black kids on there who sang circles around some of the same white folks who won this crap and everytime they got voted off bcoz racist white folks would rather vote for a mediocre white kid to win rather than vote for a black kid who could really , really sing . I hope that these black kids will just stop going on this basically all white show wasting their time . I don't understand how in the hell Lionel Richie could just sit there like a sellout and not say nothing after seeing every year these black kids get voted off consistently so a white one could win . Even if every black person in America voted it still wouldn't be enough to get them across the finish line . I mean this kid sounds just like every other country singer whining basically . To make this fair for all involved , they need to create a better voting system and not leave this in the hands of the American People bcoz their decision is definitely biased .

His COVID performances nailed it for me - you can tell a lot about a performer when they are confronted with a challenge. No excuses performance. Delivered and nailed the performances. He never faltered. I believe he gained confidence after going through this that propelled him to win. Absolute professional level of conduct. I liked his choices in songs throughout - not just sticking to country though he put his own spin on each song. The episode that he moved around the stage was brilliant - it was at that moment that I knew he'd win. Constant growth and improvement. He took weeks to progress through what many had done in years. And throughout, Noah was always Noah. He never made it seem like he was impersonating other singers. And he peaked at the right time even as the others just kinda treaded water. Congrats to you and to your family and wish you much success!

How you gonna forget Chris Stapleton, Keith Whitley, even Billy Ray Cyrus just to name a few.. All from around that area between Paintsville and Ashland

[@s.wilson2702]

I've gotta add one whose name isn't a household word but whose songs are...Troy Seals. He could be called the Father of Country Soul (in the Chris Stapleton vein). Now in his 80's the man's voice, like Noah's, was a blend of country and R&B soul! He was born in Bighill in 1939. His daddy was a coal miner. Troy gave it a go as an artist in the 70's but after a couple of record company shut downs, carved out his niche as a songwriter with cuts by the likes of Elvis (whose Troy Seals' song "Pieces Of My Life" while never a single, was, imo, one of the greatest songs he ever recorded), Roy Orbison, Eric Clapton, Conway and Loretta, Willie, Wayon, Vince Gill, Ronnie Milsap, Ray Charles, Dobie Gray, Mike Reid, Wynnona, and more! I know I'm leaving out some but you get the picture. I'd rather listen to any of Troy Seals demos than alot of what you hear on radio! One of Troy's prolific go-to co-writers, Eddie Setser, also in that Chris Stapleton vein, was from Corbin. Something 'bout Kentucky, its country roots run deep in the veins of musical greatness. I just had to mention Troy for sure an unsung standout as being a native of the great state of Kentucky. He by the way possessed that same humble personality and great humor, as well as guitar and vocal chops that Noah has. He also worked in construction while honing his musical gifts, before ultimately high tailing it to Nashville. Almost like he could a been up there in Noah's family tree somewhere! Long lost great grandpa!! I just had to mention this lesser known Kentucky native. who is actually in the Country Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. I worked with him in the 70's and I greatly admired the man and his music...still do!

[@Zero_OnFire25]

This is the more pure, straight up, what you see is what you get performer and musician ive seen on this show. And his music speaks! Everything he says, you listen. Not to mention, his humbleness is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Something about him just says..."no way....ME? SERIOUSLY??" and you cant help get behind that. YES YOU!
