KB Uses Her Unique Voice To Put A Spellbinding Twist On A Zach Bryan Hit - American Idol 2024

[@cakedupkevin]

KB's father is a truly remarkable man for supporting his daughter the way he does. What a talent!

[@toneolafsdatter]

He's her Dad, his job is to support his child. That's the conract you sign when you decide to breed.

[@RC-zb8tl]

@@toneolafsdatter Just because something is expected, doesn't mean it's easy, nor does it mean it shouldn't be acknowledged and appreciated. There are a TON of fathers that wouldn't provide that same level of support to their child, so for you to act like it is a guarantee is just straight up ignorant.

[@CheribabyTx]

Eww hope ur not a dad...with that crappy attitude! Js​@@toneolafsdatter

[@davidbright8913]

@@toneolafsdatter you got downloaded for that. You don’t get it. The original posters comment is important.

[@andrewvoorhees4062]

@@davidbright8913 you all might be misreading toneolafsdatter as if he was arguing contrary to the original poster. He could have been just affirming. Regardless, both comments hold water in my opinion. Some dads have the vision to understand how to go the extra mile for their kids and then put a plan in motion to help their children achieve goals... not every dad has that capability BUT we all should strive to do the best for them that we can and, yes, that is part of the contract we sign as fathers. I can only hope dads like KB's outweigh the deadbeats at the end the of day.

[@robncasey1216]

As a father I felt that man’s pain! We want nothing but the best for our children!!

[@KylietheGemini]

I’ve been watching KB for years and I’m so glad she’s here. I’m a lifetime fan make yourself proud my love

[@therealdrdave9340]

That voice is genuine. She's amazing.

[@DeborahCesarek]

KB the most special part of this addition is her relationship with her father. I hope she realized how blessed she is to have someone in her life be so supportive. It means everything.

[@why-be-normal7014]

She’s top 5 material for sure .she has my vote every time

[@johnnybrix717]

Felt her pain in that performance. As someone that suffers from a chronic pain disease I felt that. Great job young lady. Keep it going.

[@sheramiedelozier3122]

Im so glad she tried out...been watching her on KZbin for a few years. I love how she feels what she sings!! Yes, dad she deserves it😉 Good Luck KB!!

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

“She deserves it, the world deserves it” wow what a powerful statement from her father

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

I absolutely love her voice, very raspy tone and I like her!

[@DanaeCrosley]

I’m so glad they brought attention to Hashimotos honestly, struggling with a physical emotional problem can be so hard because it’s not always visible to others that it’s a struggle and a medical issue, I know others will be encouraged by this. I sure am 😊 you go girl

[@familytravelers4170]

The most unique voice out of all the contestants! She has fantastic star quality!!!

[@theOutlawUncle]

KB... you've got all of grit, beauty, soul, passion, creativity, humility, power, hope.... the list goes on and one... and so will you. We're your fans, girl!! Keep-on rising!!!

[@BrandonCiCi]

I so remember her from her KZbin videos yeeears ago. Glad she built up the strength to audition. I have a feeling she will def be……2024 American Idol ❤

[@judinemulerski315]

I am so glad this has finally happened. I too have followed this little lady an her sister and Dad. Love love her voice. I’ve been waiting for this day. Thank you KB

[@Jesssalyer]

Not too many singers bring me to tears and I’ve never heard this song before… She’s great!!! May God bless you and give you the strength to keep reaching for your dreams..

[@vortexmdk6776]

Her voice, humbleness, and her incredible looks… lots going for her

[@Charlene-s8w]

I'm crying.....what a beautiful voice and soul, I hope she wins, what a voice vow

[@Jazzynspazzy]

I was never a huge fan of this song, and now I just play it on repeat. Over and over. I am in remission from a rare disease which has left me to suffer with Adrenal Insufficiency, thyroid problems, panhypopituitarism, osteoporosis, etc. At such a young age, these diagnoses can be absolutely devastating and life-changing. I cry and cry every time I watch this, KB you are so strong and so incredibly blessed to have a dad that loves and supports you like that. Please understand how special that is. These diseases can be so lonely, especially when you look so normal. Keep singing, keep going, you are such an inspiration. Much, much love to you from Ohio. 🫶🏼

[@danis.4239]

Very lonely at times. The expectations that our society places on us and the fast pace at which we are expected to do everything at is not realistic for a person with chronic disease/fatigue/pain let alone a normal functioning human.

[@Anonyly]

So much emotionality. She’s got that break in her register that I absolutely adore in someone’s tonal quality

[@alexanderglynn1089]

The world deserves this. That's a dad

[@samthegoblin8907]

something about this audition always brings me to tears

[@rachelslattery4682]

She definitely deserves to win American Idol! I will be voting for her every week ❤

[@kelleyclark393]

i wish she would release this on spotify. i like it more than the original and want to download it so bad.

[@_Mr.D]

I lost my beautiful smart daughter 20 months ago. She also had a voice where she could have went on the show. But she was also fricken hilarious and could have had a comedy channel. She took her life. KB, what you may feel at a particular given MOMENT is not representative of reality, even though it sometimes feels like it's set in concrete. I wish my daughter had been able to realize that. Keep on, you will accomplish great things, you are amazing!

[@rosscockburn2269]

I’m sorry for your loss. Your comment tells us all about your daughter and the depth of your loss.

[@thomasmbr]

So sorry for your loss!

[@_Mr.D]

Soulful,hard,soft,raspy clear, Unique set of tools in her arsenal and the talent to apply it!

[@lilcarrit222]

Kb, just know, despite what your own mind and brain may tell you, you ARE a wonderful person. And also I am so excited you are on American Idol this year! You are doing great! Just keep going and also breath, just be you and I truly think you could win this thing just by doing that. I actually randomly found you and your family on KZbin looking for some music to play in the background and I just got sucked in to your videos! It was so beautiful it made me cry multiple times. And although I don't have kids yet, I hope someday I can get to love my kids as much as your dad loves you guys, that is so inspiring! Truly beautiful family you've got!

[@KittCrescendo]

Gosh, she’s Joplin-esque! Gorgeous!

[@Jokerz1982]

I've been loving her voice on KZbin for a while now. I'm so excited she is gonna be on the show! ❤❤

[@prof.victormartins7762]

I liked her as well...very authentic voice...singing style...that cry / pain...one of my favorites.

[@batistine100]

She's definitely top 10 material

[@Luv_my_cats]

God Bless you KB, please hang in there and know I’m just one person out here struggling with these feelings as well. I know how hard the days and long nights can be. But you are precious, you have so much talent, and I can see your beautiful heart through the screen. Animals help me, if I didn’t have my cats for love and support I don’t know what I would do. You have an amazing father, and that’s great. I know I don’t know you, but I love you young lady, I’ll pray for you. You have it all, all inside you ❤

[@devinrogers3910]

I’m gonna send this to people just so they understand what dealing with Hashimoto’s is like. Been dealing with most likely my whole life. Diagnose 10 years ago. Especially because it’s also so rare in men. Thanks for bringing it to light.

[@rkcurry]

dad said it all, she deserves it, the world deserves it, best cover out there she meant every single word, i got chills, from head, to toe luke hit the nail on the head, from top to bottom, you cant write a better audition

Everyone but you,we all watched Abi Carter win , thanks BigAl California, KB should come back ,and win in 25 that’s right .

[@jacobmccain8794]

I truly think she can win! I was hooked in the first 10 seconds! She made this so her own! I’m obsessed with her tone! She’s a tone monster! Also, the way she shapes a phrase with so many different colors is so pleasing and just makes you seat on the edge of your seat and listen to every single word! The rawness and pure emotion in her voice is something you can’t teach! She did this thing where she was just behind the beat which made it so perfect, like she was singing through molasses. Top 5 favorites so far!

[@karlad3213]

I don't know if you will ever see this KB but I have hashimotos as well, I'm allergic to the medicine so they can't take my thyroid out but I'm regulated with the lowest estrogen patch out there and it helps a lot. I don't know your situation or if it's been tried but it might help you too. You are strong, you got this, never give up. ❤️

[@momof7_123]

The raspiness in her voice tho!!! 😮❤😭

@momof7_123, that's why she's unique.

[@Kali64296]

I saw you guys, I believe it was on Tik Tok, a while back and I didn't know you had Hashimotos! I was diagnosed with it when I was 18 and I'm now 27. You can definitely live with the disease, but that doesn't mean it's easy to live with it, and the worst part is, it's an invisible disease that sometimes no one else sees you struggle through but those close to you. You have a wonderful talent. I can hear your journey through your singing voice, and it's heartbreakingly beautiful. God bless and keep believing in yourself! ❤

[@mitotv6376]

Danngg.. this girl voice is so great,, I bet she's gonna push it though to the final.

All those years of pain from Hashimoto's, baby it was building you for your destiny! The grit and sound are the result of that pain... I too have Hashimoto's disease it's not for the weak and it's invisible to the outside world unless you have it. Your time is NOW baby girl get this win!

[@lorenkathymitchell9633]

Please keep singing for us--the world needs your pure voice. I hope the doctors have helped balance your thyroid issues. I can’t believe how a tiny amount of medication changed my life. Hashimotos had me in its clutches-including an embarrassing goiter in my neck. Gratefully, for many years now--I actually forget I have it. I Never forget to take that tiny little pill, though. God bless you, sweetheart--you are touching lives. I am 80 years old and you have touched mine.
