My collaboration with Rascal Flatts! (Doug Kiker American Idol Finale)

Wow y'all! I can't believe I actually got to sing with Rascal Flatts. So much has happened since my first audition y'all. I am working on putting together an album! I'm doing a crowd funding campaign. If y'all want to check it out, here is the link: www.indiegogo.com/projects/fr...
Thank y'all so much for following me on this journey. I can't do this without y'all! Woohoo!!

[@danamaupin8318]

American Idol made a huge mistake letting Doug go. The judges told him they would help him with his voice range and they didn't. Doug, I think your amazing.

[@_NoodlesMedia_]

I think it’s because he is still learning how to use his voice and therefore music backing helped him, but they let him go right before that round of Hollywood started.

[@micayla420]

They let him go and then contacted him offering life-changing chances and lessons so he could learn and slowly improve, the judges made a great decision

[@marykettle2097]

Nice to see he gas had his teeth replaced more confidence just beautiful

[@user-cg8tq3ey1b]

Also even tho he is a legit man that's worthy of what theyre giving to him but there where a lot more complete singers and it would be unfair to pick doug

[@willmurphy6996]

@@marykettle2097 if you base someone on their teeth you are missing out on knowing a lot of great amazing people. I am 47 yrs old and lucky enough to have all but one of my own teeth. I have worked in trades and business and a few friends that are doctors, engineers in various fields and a huge ass family from teachers, nurses, mental health workers, ece's politicians and I can tell you this. about 4 people come to mind instantly that I consider the smartest people I know. Their education level is grade 4 grade 5 grade 9 and grade 12 buth not enough credits to get a grad cert. of the 4 three have very few teeth left. If you think confidence comes from having all your teeth that just shares your level of shallowness or ignorance. I didn't finish high school myself. How ever I did continue my education as a graphic designer, and auto tech and an auto body tech. HOWEVER in my younger days I dated gals that were doing the 4-5-6 yr degrees in university. I use to dabble into some of their classes. anyone can go but obviously you don't get that edumacation put down on paper. I got kicked out of so many of those classes for asking what I thought were simple questions that the professors could not answer but I already knew the answers to. In hindsight I could of written a book. Especially on psychology. Maybe in my retirement I will write one one the brian of the common sense wo(man) and the superficial wo(man) and the mind of a liberal and a conservative. (if you're a stupid american as you seem to be with your comment) a republican and a democrat. On paper I have a high school cert because I did credit courses after the fact (here we call if ABE/GED) I did a graphic design college cert and two programs in in the automotive field. I am essentially and god love me for it. A true blue red neck. I have 3 cars a truck and a motorcycle that does not run. My favorite possessions are Nascar 1/24 scale action collectables and TOOLS that would fill your house. well providing your house is under 8000 sq/ft. Toss a suit on me and trow me into a the mix with docs or engineers I can could ask questions that they could not answer yet I could. I could cure most cancer if the government would listen but its no money into common sense solutions. I could build cars that are cool looking and self charges but the government don't like self charging. Again no money in that. If you want to judge someone by their teeth. You go right ahead. I tend to judge people by their morals and intelligence. You comment lacks both. truly

[@mikegordon7040]

I’m glad they gave that man some teeth. He came out the real winner. You can tell he’s already got more confidence. I wish more people would help people in need like that. Dude deserved it.

This sounded amazing and wish you the best.
