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.

Totally agree.

[@mat4410]

The hardest thing for a drummer to do is smile and look pleasant while he’s playing and this guy does it. Love the tunings and mic trims on his Mapex drums.

[@mat4410]

He has a Masters in classical percussion.

[@waffelkitten7903]

the fill he puts in at 4:02 gives me jeff porcaro vibes, the technique which blends in so cleanly with the music just amazing

[@jeanfieman4359]

I also loved the fiddle player!

[@djsherrard8904]

This guy has the entire package. Respectful, cute, talented, and I truly hope he winds it all! And your songs are wonderfufl!

[@kangmoua8779]

His voice, his looks, his song, and how he incorporates Elvis’s dance moves in there….. I’m like …..😍🤤 I’m already a fan! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Advoc8te4Truth]

When you can't stop smiling while watching a song you know it's a hit 😂❤

[@tavita8699]

Yee ha...He nailed it. Number one on the country billboard Loving this from Australia

[@dascherofficial]

Simon looks like he's ready to call the label and the lawyers to sign this dude. He's a good act. I'm not even a country fan and it's obvious he'd be a sure bet for any competent label. This is a charting single.

[@MissStateFan]

Dude is already signed to Broken Bow Records

[@dascherofficial]

@@MissStateFan good for him, I hope. 😂

[@MissStateFan]

@@dascherofficial Like before AGT. He released an album through them in 2021.

[@manab.baruah]

@@MissStateFan so this essentially was a PR exercise 🤔

[@richard40x]

Yes, I am not big on country, and not big on AGT singers in general. I look at AGT for the variety acts. But this guy is really good. By far the best singer on the show this yr, adn with a great band to back him up.. He could win the final.

[@p.l4631]

Felt like I was watching a real live concert with this band. They deserved the golden buzzer.

[@elizemuller5065]

Only so many Golden Buzzers and by now they are all gone.

[@debbymabalcon2789]

He sure did!!!!!!!!,

[@seijuroakashi6564]

Golden buzzers are reserved for sad stories xd

[@honestguide4552]

right...like a real life international concert

[@majorzally24]

@@seijuroakashi6564 lmfao so true, this was my favourite act so far

[@lill7695]

I really love Drake Milligan❤️ He has such a great voice, he's attractive as f... and he owns the stage when he is performing! He is truly a star on the country sky😍 Pure talent

[@Thepowerfulsingingvocals]

Yes I agree he’s very cute I feel the CMA awards should have an award for cutest male country singer and cutest female country singer. Drake would win the male country one for his looks and voice

[@starsoldier3643]

The entire crowd was rocking right along with him. They are the total package. Fame is theirs after that performance.

[@amandakassis]

I liked them all! The band has stage presence, good energy. And the front man has a different voice, definitely is a good song writer, this song is gonna be a hit

[@Mister8224]

Haven't heard his song yet on radio, but I expect to. Charisma. Enthusiasm. Effort.I'll be surprised if it's not a hit.

[@johnhopkins6501]

he has an EP out with this song on it, lots of other great songs as well

[@stu290bushrider]

Yeh, I just looked on the Country top 40 expecting him to be there.

[@Mitsuko.]

to me what feels so unreal about this audition is how effortless he sings, he's clearly having fun and enjoy what he's doing with his boys, one of the best audition the show has encountered.

[@jimmyrhino6176]

He's good. He needs to give his band the credit they deserve. They were awesome

[@juneberry1982]

I agree. I'm glad Heidi acknowledged the band and not just him. They were all great!

[@jimmyrhino6176]

@@juneberry1982 Right. He was great but the band makes him that way. Hope he recognizes that. Don't let it go to his head

[@ericbrown1101]

@@jimmyrhino6176 I had the same thought. He is gifted but the band's chemistry together is what I thought made them truly special.

[@muzicman87]

Pretty sure he knows that. It’s just that for tv producers, they need to have a story to tell, and they focus on the frontman.

[@2012inca]

@@ericbrown1101 We had a singer like that who changed the band entirely 3 times, so it is mostly a about the singers voice.

[@arthurdonnally5750]

He is great. Country music needs more like him. He has my vote

[@melindarozas1334]

Yesss!! Indeed!!!

[@r0ckz]

Hope he'll get the success he deserves. I've been following him since Sun Records and that EP from last year was total fire. He got me into country music.

[@sirgimps]

I haven't heard a better country song since.

[@TheDupuis18]

I think I've listened to this song about 30 or more times. I love Drake and his band. They are amazing and hopefully they will get the one person that will give him a record deal. Love them....

[@LindaKayHolevas]

This is one of the best new country songs I've heard in a long time. I am a fan of old school country - Waylon, Willie & the guys, but I can totally see myself listening to this guy. Love it! He reminds me of a younger Blake Shelton..

[@mauro-p3x]

Hello dear ❤❤❤🌹

[@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.

[@HappyFeetTJ]

Deserved the Golden Buzzer ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@vanessamars1351]

THAT'S SO TRUE I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE GONNA HAVE THE GOLDEN BUZZER.

[@jlnasseri4390]

Drake Milligan has it all: Good voice, great stage presence, catchy original song and easy on the eyes. A talent that outshines so many singers that are already famous!

[@jimcripps3612]

Yep he can sing, play the guitar and he looks good but the thing that really impresses me is that he has good manners. Too many folk these day seem to have forgotten how to say please and thank you. Regards, Jim in NI UK

Yes you're right

[@joem1102]

Haven't spent a lot of time in the south I guess. We say ma'am n sir, open doors for ladies...just how we are raised.

I think he'll get it in the judge cuts

[@robynlovespeace2704]

Absolutely BLEW ME AWAY!! The band, Drake, and the song! Just WOW! Actually gave me goosebumps!!

[@cecils3357]

He really should've gotten a golden buzzer. He and the band don't have to prove anything, they are super and they will go on to be superstars!! Can't wait to hear them on the radio...
