ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in March 2019 for its second season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2018, as the Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering 23 cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

[@gbrow3191]

He's my all time favorite American Idol contestant.

[@ajm12321]

Same. I also ran into him at Orlando airport and he is a very kind gentleman. Bless his heart!

[@Grannhildpage]

Same 💙💚

[@andreyusak6270]

His talent is insane

[@genietaclan1483]

me too ..he is so humble person Gob Bless Jeremiah

[@labro1330]

Periodtttt

[@MM-Iconoclast]

He's too good for American Idol. Somebody just sign him now.

[@gbrow3191]

He's way too much for American Idol

[@aghali93]

Way too good

[@jojomasipa379]

Yea someone like Maverick music

[@desireewhite2379]

I'm sure by now he has a recorded deal. DOES ANYONE KNOW!!!

[@Foltronics]

That's his IG :)

[@abdurashidshadiev5974]

and after 4 years I keep coming back to this audition.

[@mbalizondo6027]

Giving you a reason to listen to it again

[@samanthareyes5533]

You keep up with his music? He really does have amazing work.

[@MrGwinn]

This is one of the most moving songs that I've heard not to mention his amazing voice and vocal range.

[@jdkonline1]

The judges’ reaction almost feels understated here. How is this not the greatest audition they’ve ever seen???

[@Alex-jn6zr]

They were very focused, bc he went flat several times n were waiting for him to get back on the pitch, but all of them showed up through their reactions the fact they were blown away: 1:10, 1:30, 2:18, 2:37, 3:07

[@jdkonline1]

@@Alex-jn6zr I dunno, Alex. I’ve seen them give standing Os before for far lesser auditions. When you combine the original song, the vocal ability, the sentiment...it’s another level.

[@Alex-jn6zr]

@@jdkonline1 I've also seen them stand up for not even half as gifted ppl as him, maybe they were lazy or too tired since it was the last audition of the day, Idk, it's not always about who the judges stand for in the auditions. I've watched Jeremiah's journey n I don't remember any stage aside from the audition when he wasn't given a standing ovation from the judges

[@sander8324]

I think people often copy each other in behavior or mood , as this man seems to be an polite, educated, introvert and down to earth man. I think their just adjust their reaction to his level. That`s the power he has! He got full respect from the jury.

[@juannito246]

Are you on crack 😂😂

[@kennedythecosmetologist4787]

I would BUY this song. My husband and I thought he was great!

[@graziellaeberedelmonteobij9103]

Yeah! I wanna BUY it tooo!! BUY BUY BUY it!!!

[@robawr]

you can buy it !!!!

[@Luke-jz6ik]

this song is now being sung by isak danielson, i think he sold the song

[@MissKatherineRene]

Sobbing. It's so sad that something had to be thought and felt in the first place to elicit the emotion of this song. But it certainly is beautiful. If there's room for me, there's room for you. If there's room for any of us, there's room for all of us.

[@travellifestyles6843]

Thank you for saying that..... I feel it... I doubt it every day, every time, ever second of every breath I take.....

[@87meliss]

You put the words to exactly how I feel

[@annab507]

What a mistake the judges made. They never picked him to go on to the finals. He is heaven. Was sooooo upset they left out this TALENTED young man.

[@mollystatts7242]

HOW COULD THE JUDGES NOT USE THE ONLY SAVE THEY HAD ON HIM. THEY FREAKING USED IT ON LACY. LACY DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING ON JEREMIAH. PERIOD

[@moonshxne8661]

end of conversation

[@Obeythebeard]

I haven't seen the season that featured Jeremiah but he's probably better off without the enslaving contract that comes with the Idol concept. Most contestants end up working their asses off without really earning any artistic freedom, right to be original or decent money for that matter. It may be a fast track into the industry but it is also a bit of a dead end street.

[@queeshan2630]

There’s and angel, in a window On a West Virginia church door swinging open And he’s pointing to the exit sign Said you’ll never walk on water If you wait until the river’s frozen over In the Shannon door of summer Well it was almost heaven Choirs singing in robes of white Almost heaven Lovers laying side by side When we reach forever, Will there be a place where you and I may find hope, In Heaven I’ll make room for you If you stay your eyes on me now Loving you can lean on me Love I can lift you higher Oh I’m making room for you Will you stay your eyes on me Loving you can lean on me Love I can lift you higher Oh I can lift you higher And it was almost heaven Oh it was Almost heaven When we reach forever, Will there be a place where you and I may find hope, In Heaven May I find home In heaven

[@orisatalabi]

* Shenandoah summer

[@moarroz]

@@orisatalabi thank u lol

[@drewby613]

Fearless with those high notes. Lionel Richie was relating.

[@melaniestarkey7868]

Thank you for showing the words of that song

[@sshms414]

Thank you

[@parkerlovett763]

Wow that was so professional, I felt like I was listening to the future CD. Like it’s amazing ❤️

[@caelestebantarikkschiavon185]

Its a CD now

[@emmaroseconstant]

I still keep coming back to this a year later, this shit is ridiculous. SO GOOD. It’s on Spotify now but the rendition he did is just not as good as it is in this video.

[@Monica-wz4qw]

Came here to say the same thing!! Spotify version doesn't do it justice.

[@mmsabre7931]

Yep

[@davidethansulite7272]

Truth

[@annesophiebeaudoin2430]

I know!!! Spotify version neary not as good as this one :(((

[@HAVEAGREATDAYize]

I want him to win American Idol, this song touched my soul

[@peggystrong7337]

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG, LISTEN TO IT ALL DAY, SO TOUCHING! GRAMMY WINNER!

[@DontYouSay]

I've watched this like 100 times and I still cry... omg, I can't... So much feelings.

[@jthdktec1394]

Patiently waits for the song to hit spotify 🙇🏻‍♀️

[@trisha9165]

he’s the kind of artist that reminds me why i fell in love with music in the first place or who i really am in my own art. that’s pure passion right there.

[@faheemsaiyed8094]

Just found this audition yesterday, have watched it like 20 times and it still gives goosebumps

[@chris6767671]

My mouth dropped the first time I heard it.

[@jeanniebaker4146]

I felt him...I love when vocalists can elicit a deep emotional reaction in their audience. I'm blown away. The emotional factor is strong with this one.

[@jeffreymorris735]

Best piano audition ever on American Idol by far ..

[@samanthareyes5533]

fact

[@raymondkymsuttle]

Why is she so impressed by the fact that he wrote the song? That’s what good songwriters do!

[@andreyusak6270]

Because it is not any other songs has been ever written

[@DaniStarrB]

I love his demeanor while playing. So relaxing. Such a good song.

[@antoniawallace175]

Waw Omg 😱😭 Lovely lovely....

[@parkerlovett763]

He better come out with an album, that’s all I’m saying. I want this song Jeremiah! You best be sending your album this way!

[@richardrodriguez5578]

God bless you Jeremiah. There’s definitely a place in heaven for an angel like you.

[@MummaMarsh]

I always come back to this...so moving, so powerful, so pure ❤

[@daltonmalzahn9687]

Lionel's reaction at 2:37 explained perfectly how I felt listening to this.

[@asheimmortal]

I want an album from this guy!

[@TheProphegy]

I love how hypnotized the three judges were. I don’t think they quite understood how to critique his audition, it was just to clean and good, like this guy don’t even need us.

[@jessicarosec]

5 years and I'm still here lol

[@phillipchristian58]

His voice gave me goosebumps and chills down my spine. The story behind it brught tears into my eyes. Katy is right, he truly is a serious musician. I can't wait to see more of him.

[@jrbland18]

I LOVE THIS GUY. HE IS SO TALENTED. I LOVE HIS VOICE. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL SIGN HIM AND GET HIM ON THE RADIO. PLEASE SOMEONE SIGN HIM. HE REALLY DESERVES IT.

[@callMeNorby]

HE could sing Ben Platt's entire discography and it would be heaven.

[@87meliss]

YES! PLEASE!

[@truthinc.5555]

imagine being young and gay. and imagine being so true a believer that you follow your religion, whole-heartedly, a religion that hates you. and all you do is stay kind humble and true to your lord and savior, praying and hoping that god may find it fit for you, his loyal gay servant, to join him in paradise when you pass from this life to eternity - even though you're constantly told that people like you will burn forever. jeremiah, singing his song, is one of the greatest, sweetest, and at the same time most heartbreaking moments i encountered on this show. it's an example of how religion can be wrong. and if any part of it is wrong, how can you ever be certain that any of it is right?

[@choonblaze]

It's time to lay down the children's books and return to the real world. Religions are created to control the masses, it's not some fantastic journey of the cosmos

[@faheemsaiyed8094]

His face when Lionel is talking about Billy Joel, so innocent he seriously didn't know how good he was.....

[@saksham44]

He's so Humble looking.

[@rashidshadat3749]

One of THE best auditions if not the best. So honest and moving song.

[@justingutierrez3196]

Wow man - your amazing a place in heaven for you , your voice and heart are so touching

[@compatiblesystem]

2022 and I still come here to here the magic and energy in that room that one time in life. Jeremiah, you ARE heaven! Your talent lets us experience heaven on Earth!

[@MsBeaglebuddy]

*Patiently waits for the song to hit spotify* 🙇🏻‍♀️

[@triniglock22]

Walks in with a guitar and wow the judges with the piano. What a boss 💪

[@chris6767671]

I absolutely LOVE Jeremiah! 🥰🥰🥰 Made my mouth drop the first time I ever heard him. This song is a masterpiece!

[@PaulVincentSanDiego]

I was expecting that Jeremiah and Alejandro will be battling for the final 2 but when Jeremiah got eliminated and Alejandro not winning the final round, I realized that both of them will rise on their own because of their artistry.

[@Jerlemi2]

I love watching Lionel react to talent. Dude is so frickin cool.

[@bobbycratchet3958]

You can't pray the gay away because love is not a sin. EDIT: 1 year later and his song still moves me. Thank you Jeremiah.

[@bobbycratchet3958]

@Renee's World-welcome! By implying idk what reprobate means, you are insulting my intelligence and are being rude. Jesuscorrected with class. Except for a few times like with people profiting / money changers in His Father's house . He would teach and not just be insulting . He would not offer secular condemnation. Speak with love.

[@bobbycratchet3958]

@Renee's World-welcome! I'll see you. Stay happy.

[@MrDrewthat]

@Renee's World-welcome! If that's your definition of love than you're the delusional one.

[@D1ZZY-.-m0th]

@@MrDrewthat Agreed

[@HighonBoots]

Renee's World-welcome! Who are you

[@chistinaangelez117]

God bless you young man, you have all what it takes to win this show.

[@uaremychosenfamily1048]

the run at 3:08 deserves a grammy on itself

[@0zoneTherapyW0rks]

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. Wow.

[@mikebinkley8664]

aside from being an amazing talent, he is adorable and with such a great demeanor .

[@andreawilliams4977]

He really is adorable. He has lots of charisma and a beautiful voice. In my opinion he has been the most consistent of all the contestants.

[@sgd.6830]

These are my favourite 3 judges ever on American idol 🥰🥰🥰

[@conniehukvari4593]

This audition and the judge's words moved me to tears.

[@johnarndt1501]

As a wannabe musician I was enamored and pulling for Alejandro, But looking back and rewatching this, Jeremiah had every right to win, he's an amazing song writer, has a one of a kind tone and has range for days.

[@dumpsterbaby6642]

i dont think he understands hes probably one of the best ppl that has been on that show he is one of or is my favorite

[@AdelbertMeek-mt1ml]

BLESSED SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU GOD FOR SUCH TALENT..🤗🤗🤗

[@johannkieser5006]

Jeremiah had to wait a long time for this opportunity after so many painful years. I am so glad he has a wonderful man in his life who loves him and encourages him to sing his heart out. Music is the food of love and I feel so blessed to look and listen to Jeremiah performing the songs with so much expression from his heart. I know this journey to a new life would be amazingly wonderful. He is a decoration and true asset on this planet and I hope his parents and family would now see the light that God reflects through him.

[@MyronLF]

to write your own lyrics is cool, but here he composed the entire song with crazy chords. A general instrumentalist will understand what Katy meant regarding (serious chords)

[@qkbarbland4332]

people really discredit her musicianship, it's sad actually

[@abrown4green]

Him not winning is still a crime

[@Candaluk]

I'll love watching his musical journey...he's on a journey it's clear...and sings from his heart.

[@katiekrull2521]

Watching this video makes me sob every time. Jeremiah, your voice and songwriting are so moving to me.
