Hueston - Held On Too Long (From “American Song Contest”) (Official Audio)

[@Mikse79]

This was by far the best song on ASC. Even better that all the songs from eurovision this year. Top mark from Denmark🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

[@muddyfeet69]

Top song (what a voice + top lyrics) .........this will be the jury winner of the "heat1" - that song is 100 % safe in the semifinal.

[@deftbeck1669]

You called it

[@hammerheadtheseawing3263]

Called it lol

[@nonofurbiz4434]

Best song on American Song Contest!!! Hold on Brother, we got you! Some of us grew up the same way as you...no Christmas presents or food on the table. Success is coming your way.

[@GreyGuerillaNetwork]

As somebody who was fortunate enough to have both food and presents at Christmas, I'm very sorry people like you and Hueston didn't have that luxury. My heart goes out to you; I hope you'll find happier days as time goes on. 😢❤

[@laceyedwards4314]

Such a wonderful song! I know you touched so many hearts❤️🤟🏼😇

This song absolutely bowled me over … stunningly gorgeous. And Hueston, if you’re reading this, your eyes are also astonishingly beautiful - just like your heart must be for you to have had what it takes to write a song that instantly touched people all over the world.

My new pick to win!

[@AACLibrarian]

Beautiful voice; heartfelt song -- you got my vote

[@jeffrey5125]

The jury picked an excellent qualifier, definitely the best of the night! Rooting for the televoters to pick amongst Kelsey Lamb, AleXa, Michael Bolton and Keyone Starr for the other 3 spots - tho I'm pretty sure the New Boot Goofin' joke song will take one of those spots.

[@raygodmanMX]

This man puts more emotion into his song/singing than nearly anyone I have ever seen, yet seems beyond humble. A true talent. Hueston.. YOU are the real deal.

[@traceyflaherty4966]

[@micatnight2010]

Way to nail it, Mr. H! Steve tipped me off you'd be on the show and I have to say, I was floored. I literally had tears in my eyes. And FYI, it's great songs, not sad songs that make me cry. You're really on another level now (just like you always knew you would be). 'Held On Too Long' will definitely rattle the suits cages. Great songs are akin to a wizard's incantation. They magically alter perceptions while tapping into the soul. And with that performance my friend, you cast a spell on millions of people. Quite a step up from that 17 year old kid I knew on Oak Street. - Mike H One other thing... MORE!

[@wadafik]

Very bold to open a song with the words sex and drugs lol

[@codybedwell5395]

Wouldn’t even be considered for the semifinals in Eurovision. He needs to use everything available to him. Every led screen, lasers and the rest of the special effects they have access to. Bolton was the closest you would see at Eurovision. Great song and effects and they were perfectly timed. This is being ran by Eurovision, not America’s got talent

[@MM-cy7zt]

Great song. This one and Michael Bolton's Beautiful World should make to final. Other songs from first show pretty forgettable. Cannot wait for all other shows, however, I would cut in half all blah blah blah... it is song contest. Not popularity vote on who has best life story. 11 songs in 2 hrs, pretty slow pace. If actual eurovision go that slow, the finals would last 4.5 hrs?!

[@Fatima502]

It's a lovely song but the Adele template is blatant
