Generally, they give Golden Buzzer to a complete surprise or a great back story. In fact, Drake doesn't need that. This performance alone will change his life. Country music stations are going to get flooded with calls. The song will fly up the charts. He could sign with a bigger label. (With BBR now) And he's a headliner in two weeks. He's been kicking around for years and starred as Elvis in "Sun Records" on CMT in 2017. But this is his breakout song.

Drake and this band are fantastic and you can see they have great chemistry. The fact he was an Elvis impersonator when he was a young teen and chose his own path thereafter is great. He throws in just enough Elvis remnant without looking like he is trying to be Elvis. Quite refreshing and tribute paying to Elvis in my opinion without overdoing it. Perfect!

Wow. Somebody who's actually good on AGT. Refreshing!

[@boogersnut]

Right? Why didn't he get the golden buzzer? Oh that's right, no sob story.

[@BirdYoumans]

@@boogersnut Interesting you would say that. I had actually ended my statement with he didn't have a pity party and didn't need one and then I thought, why introduce a negative thought so I erased that part, but you are right. I feel for all who struggle, but I just get so tired of everyone on these talent shows trying to one up the next one with their sad stories. I think most of us have had struggles of one kind or another, but c'mon folks, enough is enough. It becomes a manipulation tactic and has lost it's effectiveness. But I agree with you. However, I'm thinkin' he might not need the pity party. I'm also thinkin', is there another Col Parker out there?

[@bernardochavis4230]

wow so you guys think this is first person who had talent on this show maybe they did'nt get the buzzer because there was nothing that made you say ow my no point in the song where we got to see the range of his voice or the band go crazy. that's the problem with original music. you cant really judge it off anything unless you put on a top notch show an this was good very good but no golden buzzer. if they are that good as you guys say then why havent they been signed yet. also the fact that the guy came out by himself plus kept saying i i i even backstage after they got the 4 yes's he kept saying i i i an not we

[@dancer4life273]

@@bernardochavis4230 Drake & the Band already have a record deal. The point of auditioning is getting your name out there and AGT provides that platform. The judges have various reasons for not giving someone the Golden Buzzer. Like Simon was going to give the 12 year old and her poodles the Golden buzzer & changed his mind. I'm not sure if he told her or if someone overheard him saying that he was going to give it to her but changed his mind.

[@BirdYoumans]

​@@bernardochavis4230 Actually they have been signed. This particular song now that it got some exposure is in the top 20 on several charts just from that one shot. It's all about exposure if you're good in this business. No matter how good you are, if no one knows it, it goes nowhere. But that was his point for being on the show. At least he was honest about it. And yes, there have at times been some good ones on AGT, but I actually had gotten so bored with it I quit watching about 2 years ago. Just happened across this on youtube or would not have seen it this time. And there was a little girl on this particular show with him that blew the doors off. So he's going to have some competition. But because of the exposure, if you're good, you can win without winning. I would even argue you might be better off not winning and not be controlled by them afterwards. Very few go on to be stars that win these shows tho some do, because the management does not tailor themselves to the winner since they already have so many artists that are already there so to speak. Col Parker only managed one act once he found Elvis. But Elvis was all he needed to make a fortune. Buy yes, he's been around the block a time or two already. That's why he's so polished. By the way, He played Elvis in the Sun Records show that was on one of the cable channels a couple of years ago. But cable shows don't offer near the exposure AGT does. But to his credit he doesn't try to be Elvis or sound like him. That would not work because we already had the real thing. We don't need another one and he's smart enough to know that. But yes, I am very impressed with his whole package from what I see so far not to mention his band is good. Will he win? Who knows, but the world will know him before this is over. Something else you learn in this business, if you write songs you are WAY ahead of the game. And he writes songs. It takes a lot of nerve to audition with an original. Not only did he do that, he just blew most people over with it. I'm sure some won't like him, but a lot more will. That "ain't" easy to do!

[@diandoxlee7346]

The look on Simon's face when Drake entered the stage!

[@kelleyspartiatis4776]

Absolutely love love love him. Hes got charisma and talent to spare.

[@TheFinnFTW]

This dude will be in the finals

[@kyokendl373]

I don’t listen to country music like that, but I could listen to him all day 🔥👏🏾

[@L1a7even]

it takes one song or one person to completely change everything you thought you knew.

[@user-ij2zt2zj3d]

I just love his music and him. This sounded more like a concert.

[@debraclagett7723]

Oh My Lord... He is the Whole Package.. I LOVE HIM & THE BAND

[@ebsmites7544]

This sounded great. This is gonna be where the career starts. He will be a famous country singer in no time. I loved them. Drake Mlligan even sounds like a famous star already

[@Audiomaker49]

He already is a star why the hell is he on the show in the first place

[@gracetutt768]

He will be on the CMA s accepting the award for best new artist in the near future. He’s got the voice, the looks and tons of personality. I’m not a country fan but I do appreciate his talent.

[@brendabooher6683]

Great preformance. I hope this young man does good everywhere he plays. He has lots of talent !

[@higginsmusk530]

Hello 👋 Brenda, how are you ?

[@jaynaurbaladad1430]

I can watch this a thousand times since they audition. You're all absolutely superstar ❤️

[@strangeluv8]

Surprised a record label hasn't signed Drake Milligan and his band yet....really impressed! Good job fellas!

[@tashay7544]

Now they will!!!!

[@kimberlybeth]

I checked him out looks like he’s had a healthy amount of gigs and made some music videos. But I think he’s right, this will help his career blow up!

[@virginiahopkins5735]

Nashville has thousands of talented singers who are trying to make it; Maybe this will give him the break he needs to get it.

[@gregorydryden7865]

unfortunately most dont realize an artist must be willing to sell their soul to the devil via the occult globalist record label, regardless of genre: Rock, Country, Rap, etc. Hollywood as well. to be a "star" often costs one's soul. sad but true

[@KJVAV1611]

A young man travels to Nashville, it was around 1985. He pitched a couple of songs to a record label and they turned him not once, but three times. This young man traveled back home to Oklahoma where he was from. After spending time at home he traveled back to Nashville and was heard at the bluebird Café one night by the same record label executives that turned him down. They immediately wanted him to come back in, and he did the song he was singing when he was discovered was “the Dance”, which is a song that he didn’t even write. They signed the young man to a short term deal, however he immediately took off, the young man was Garth Brooks and the rest is history.

This is a class one performance, you guys have it all.

[@Jnf4uk]

That’s probably one of the top 3 singing auditions of all time. I remember him from idol. This guy doesn’t need a show. Somebody sign this man!!!

[@humanity9158]

He should be signed up...this Man is young with a talent and just likeable...with stage presence.

[@annoneal665]

I loved when he said, " Ready boys? " Then proceeded to burn the stage down! Loved it!

[@BUDDYSHADOW]

Micheal Jackson used to say the same thing in his bedroom.
