@@Dr.Giudicessi I detect no pity for Willie in his comment. He’s saying what most say...& wishing him Eternal Rest, as we know he has right now. Willy wouldn’t come back here now, for anything. He’s basking in our Savior’s glory, forevermore.✝🙌 Prayers for his family’s & loved ones comfort only Jesus can bring, during this time of great grief. May He carry them for as long as they need.🕊
I’d say being w/our Lord & Savior forevermore, is well beyond ‘succeeding’ here.🙌 I’m sure he’d agree, fully. And wouldn’t return here for anything now. Prayers for comfort to his heartbroken family.🙏
Willie Spence singing "I was here" was prophetic. Unfortunately I've only just heard of this young angel now that he's passed on. May he rest in love and may his family find peace in time. Sad day but happy that I got to hear his voice. He was here and will always be!❤
I don’t watch that show either, or much of what’s on TV...all so not worth my time. So I never knew of him, either. What an incredible voice! Blessed by God, for sure. And now, resting in eternal peace w/our Savior.✝ May his devastated family find comfort in knowing that. And in the knowledge they will be reunited w/Willy forever, in the same, indescribable _glory_ Willy knows now. 🙌
I am so amazed that we lost such an angelic voice , I couldn't stop listening to his vocal road on American Idol before I heard about his passing this morning. My prayers and Condolences to his Mother and Family. God Bless RIP Willie Spence!!!💔💔💔
I love Willie and will miss him. I know he’s singing in the angel’s choir. Prayers will be indefinite for his family and us fans. It’s just so sad he’s gone, but thank God for the time he let us have him!

Just came across this young man’s video singing bright like a diamond. Then learnt he passed away. Condolences to his family! What a gift he was so humble and unassuming. RIP Willie!
Jesus is the Best Gift Ever...Who shares His Glorious Heaven w/all who choose to know Him, while still here.✝❤ Willy knows that more now, than he ever did. And will be praising His Savior w/all who went before him & will follow after. Forevermore.🙌
So sad! RIP Willy😔His video was breathtaking. He lost nearly 200lbs so he would be healthy enough to sing the he does in a car accident. I will never understand.😢
I just finished listening to the songs that Willie Spence sang on American Idol. My heart was so touched with each song that he sang, and the tears just wouldn't stop. When he sang Glory, that was so powerful I could see the people coming out from all over with Joy, Happiness and Love. That's the kind of messages each of his songs delivered. When I started reading the comments of his passing it actually shattered me. I was going to go to facebook to find him, and express my Joy of listening to him sing. Thank you Willie for your presence. We all have a certain season to share our purpose with the world,and you were so humble in sharing your gift. My condolences, prayers and love sent to your mother, fans,and your entire family. You all had a rare Jewel, and the world will forever remember him. God bless,😇😇😇
Oh my gosh, brought tears to my eyes. Bless his family, I can only imagine how heartbroken they are right now. He was a gifted singer but more than that a beautiful soul that touched many hearts. He will be missed and remembered.
Rest in paradise! Your voice has touched so many people! I know u are singing in that heavenly choir! God made your dreams come true!! I’m actually crying watching this right now! Praying for the Spence family!
This man's voice transcends any other sound in the room. He makes this show look like a little league with his angelic, piercing beautifulness he calls a voice. I will forever believe he should have won this show and won at life and it's the most unfortunate fact that he will not be able to sing anymore. I love this man's presence, the way he carries himself, and all of the emotions he's able to get us to experience during his performances. Rest in peace you legend, Willie Spence.
What a talented young singer, 🎤🎼 . Willie said that he wants to go to the Grammy Awards but right now, u are in the Grammy Awards up there with all the angles listening to your voice like an angle , REST IN PEACE WILLIE u will be in our hearts ❤️ forever, u are the winner in our eyes 🏆🙏.
Absolutely, every song he sang, he “willierized”...am speechless, am sad that he left us so soon but am also glad at the same time that he indeed “left something behind” for us to forever remember, forever adore ...something to forever enjoy and thank God for wonderful gift. God just loaned him to us for a short time and here we are, we’re all forever hooked on him. Extraordinarily gifted!!! RIP Willie.
Willie Spence, a presence on this Earth like none other! Leading the Heavenly choir now and I can't wait to sing with such a phenomenal, soul-filled singer when we're all in glory! May your memory be a blessing.
Oh my God he opened his mouth and his soul flew out, it wasn't singing he played his heart like an instrument opened up and let it fill the room. This was so special, so special
I absolutely adore this kid !! I just don’t understand how/why life is so unfair sometimes. Willie should still be here, the world needed him. But, since he’s not, I so very much wish/pray someone somehow could take all the songs he’s ever sung on the show, or wherever, and make a CD of them ! I know they’d sell, and the proceeds could help his family so very much. And also, a college scholarship could be established in Willie’s name. He’ll live on in everyone’s hearts, no doubt, but also physically if either or both of these things could be done. It’s a random thought I had while watching all his videos on here. He had such a bright and blessed future ahead of him. A CD and/or scholarship fund would be ways to keep his memory alive forever and would help so many people, especially deserving students. He was unique and definitely blessed by God. Heaven’s choir is perfect now, but our earth is forever saddened from losing Willie. Rest in Paradise. You were an angel here on earth, and now hold the real title in Heaven. We’ll miss you always. 🙏 🎶 😢💔
knowing that he’s gone & watching him perform “i was here” ive never seen or heard if him before til now, im binge watching all his performances & cryinggggg my eyes out. what an amazing & beautiful soul willie is, gone too soon 😔 but the world now has videos to watch for a lifetime. thank you willie ❤️🕊️ may you rest in paradise
Watching this today brings tears to my eyes. Rest in peace Willie. It was great to see the coaches giving you your flowers. We just never know but we must always trust God. Prayers and blessings to the family. He is singing for the Father now.
2 days ago my close friend introduced Willie to me. I have spent this third day saturating myself with his recordings. Each one is absolutely amazing. His genuine love towards others is such an honor to experience. His awesome voice and incredible selection of songs form a unique masterpiece for us to treasure into eternity. Thank you God for blessing us with Willie. We will cherish him the rest of our lives.
I'm sooooo heartbreaked to heard that Willie is no more with us... Thank you so much my brother for blessed us with your such angelic voice. I felt anointed e-ve-ry-ti-me! May you found comfort and peace, beautiful soul. You will be missed... 😥😥💕🕊️ 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Arguably one of the best vocalists on the planet, and connects like no other. Never heard him miss a note. Can sing the phonebook, give that man his Grammy 🙏👏
@@wandabeaird2170 He’ll be singing _with_ the angels. As will we all, who are blessed to be there. All praises & glory to our Holy, Almighty Father & His Only Begotten Son, our Savior, Jesus. ✝🙌 Willy is basking in unimaginable Peace & Love now, forevermore. May Jesus comfort & carry his mom, dad & devastated loved ones, for as long as they need.🙏
Oh Willie! I just found out about your passing and I am 😢! All our loved ones that have left this world are listening to you now and feeling all the love through your voice. A singing Angel!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏
I could listen to Willie Spence all day. I heard him when he sung the first time. To hear that he passed away was so heartbreaking. He touched a lot of people. Condolences to his family. RIP Willie 🙏🏿🌸🌺🙏🏿
He’s better than any of God’s Angels. We don’t become angels in heaven. We are His Saints...above His Angels. And yes, worshipping w/the Angles forevermore.🙌 He is definitely at perfect peace. Prayers of comfort in knowing that, to his heartbroken family left behind here.
I got lucky to have experienced this in a small chorus room! Him and a few others anytime we wasn't singing his group was and they all would harmonize so good toegther! They gave me chill bumps. I never understood why he was never put into show choir but that's okay because he got to experience something even more amazing! RIP willie!
I guess the best of us really do have to die young. I first heard this mans' voice less than an hour ago.... and im balling my eyes out, I saw one clip of him in a random yt short, had him on half the screen and just like cars revving engines on the other half ( it was a stupid, yt short with no views ) but I still heard his voice and had to look him up it was the one of him singing in a chair in a back room or something. And as I'm listening saw in the comments, his passing; So Tragic, But Oh soo beautiful, that He was able to share his voice with the world and he will never be able to die now, not in our hearts for his memory will Shine Bright Like A Diamond for all of Humanities Future Pain. Willie Spence Truly Set Fire To The Rain.
Yes Willie I just discovered you in death from the announcement but you saved me. Your life and voice communicates volumes to me. God bless you. I am crying a river . You did enough in your brief life and I will never forget you were here and you will always live in my heart.
Willie Spence’s voice was truly a God given gift! So much talent!!! It was a blessing just to hear it. Rest in the Celestial Choir Willie. We will miss your voice!❤
I will never forget the first time I came across his studio session singing Diamonds. I was like whoaaa who is this? It saddens me that he passed away. He could’ve been a major star not that he wasn’t already. Shining bright from heaven big guy!!!
I will continue to listen in awe as Willie sings. His life cut short but he will live on in the memories of those that got to hear him on Idol. Rest in Peace sweet man. You touched so many lives and continue to do so.
It is so sad that he did not win. He was hands down the best voice, the best performer and most importantly a wonderful human being. He was a wonderful addition to the chorus in Heaven when he was taken from us way too early.
Coming here tonight to listen again and keep his music and his beautiful voice alive. He lifts my spirit and raises my vibration every single time. Thank you Willie, from the top and bottom of my heart. 💗
I am an African (from Nigeria). Believe me when I say part of me died when Willie passed. Willie Spencer wasn't just talented.....He was an ANGEL. His HUMILITY was from outta this world. I can't stop the tears from falling down my eyes..... especially when I watch him sing "Never be alone" and "I was here". I've always trusted God's judgements, but I was almost on the verge of asking God a question.......Why, why Lord, did Willie gotta go so early????? He was just so lovable, adorable, humble, talented, and so down to earth. I love Willie with every fibre of me. My wife made me stop watching Willie's idol videos because I was always emotional just watching them. But, this video suddenly appeared on my feed......I Had to see my boy (Willie), regardless of what emotions I was gonna feel. WILLIE WAS TALENTED, BUT HIS HUMILITY WAS WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. REST IN PEACE BROTHER, YOU ARE UNFORGETTABLE.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
May your beautiful soul rest in peace Willie, miss you so much, such an angelic gorgeous voice, can't believe you are gone💔😭condolences to his family🙌🙏love you always willie❤️💖🤗😇
What a gentleman. What a gift. Love Willie Spence. Indeed, he was a diamond here in the earth. With heavy hearts, we will miss you Willie. RIP. It was a privilege to have known you, and hear what you had to offer in your gift to the world.💔🎤🎶🎺🎺🎺🙏🙏🙏
Only today did i randomly come across Willie's cover of Diamonds on Instagram. So blown away i was, i felt the need to see more of his performances. RIP Willie.
@@DeeBrown-qs3gb His heart is bursting w/unimaginable Peace, Love & Joy. Forevermore. Take solace in knowing that Willy wouldn’t come back her now, for anything. May his heartbroken family be consoled by that, too. And May they be carried through this devastating time, for as long as they need. 🕊🙏
That second performance was incredible. They sound so good together. Maybe one day in the future they will do another duet. And the crazy thing about this is I don't even listen to this kind of music. But I do now that willie is singing it. Edit damn I'm just figuring out that he passed. Thats really horrible to hear. He seemed like such a kind genuine person. Ill pray for him and his family. Thank you willie for giving us such beautiful music. Rest easy brotha..
So so true I was feeling down and I had to come and listen to Willie's voice. I just love him so much and it breaks my heart that you was taken too soon but I finally understand that GOD NEEDED YOU 🙏🙏
Rest in Willie Spence and Rise in Glory! Thanks for all the uplifting songs persformed on American Idol. You’re Bless. My condolences to the Spence family. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just came across him on Instagram. The tears have been rolling down my face the whole time while watching him sing. Heaven couldn’t wait for him… Truly a gift from God🥹 His voice was flawless. Sending my condolences and love to his family 🙏🏾💐❤️
I don't really keep up with social media and it keeps me grounded so finding out God has taken another one his angels has left me utterly speechless. Your voice has touched so many hearts and will continue to until the end of time. I thank you for showing me that angels really do walk among us even in these uncertain times. Thank you for sharing your gift to the world. Humble Grace
I honestly play around with my singing but if I ever decide to be serious, I will use this as motivation and sing the same song. I pray I’ll be able to do this man proud. Rest In Peace to a legend.
What a beautiful human and exceptional performer we have lost. I can watch these over and over. He wasn’t just a phenomenal singer, he was such a amazing man with an admirable spirit and heart. You will be forever missed, Willie 😢❤
God bless you Willie. I can’t stop listening and crying . I discovered you today. I was hear put me in tears . Your voice, your presence, your energy, your everything… I don’t have the words. I feel like I just listened to an entire catalog written for you. God bless your sweet soul. You blessed us my brother. Mission accomplished. They need to find a way to honor you with a Grammy. You are a star forever shining .❤❤❤
Every time I hear Willie Spence sing, I get chills, and feel emotional. Bless you for touching so many lives! Heaven has another beautiful voice to praise God with!!💞💕
Thank you God for sharing Willie with us! He truly changed the world during his short time here! Dear Lord please give his family and all the people who love him strength to meet one moment at a time!❤
i did not know of Willie Spence prior to today. As I watched all his performances in tears because his voice just does that. I later googled Willie Spence to find out he is no longer with us. Im saddened yet happy he had his moment to share his talent, his voice. That type of voice that touches deep in the soul will truly be missed.
His melodious voice and God gifted talent will always inspire which he accomplished and his short life time what he wanted to do family my condolences and God will heal all painful wounds in due time dwell on his goodness and gift of beautiful voice.
I watch a lot of these videos... rarely do I get goosebumps.... This dude's voice gave me shivers... And That Duet !!!??...Wowza ! What a shocker to learn of his untimely passing. God bless ❤️
This message is for you, Willie. Just listening to you sing is enough to realize that it was your passion. You sang not only for yourself but also for your family; the humility and soul you put into every performance… they were simply moving, beyond the gift you possessed. Your voice, with that absolute mastery and the freshness of youth, was unmatched. I remember the first time you uploaded your cover of "Diamonds" on RU-vid; even then, it was clear that your talent and charisma would take you far. Many of us, upon hearing you, felt that we had discovered someone truly special, with a gift so extraordinary that it left us speechless, as if it took our breath away. Sometimes, life is cruel, not only to those who leave, but also to those who remain and remember you. Many of us remember you… and we wonder: What have we missed? Hearing you sing with the wisdom that comes with the passage of time and life’s experiences would have been an immense gift for all of us. But, what did you leave us? With you, I have laughed, I have cried, I have been moved, and I have felt deeply. That’s why I write these words to you, as if by putting them down, I could remember you more clearly. We cannot be sure that we are all connected, but what is certain is that you will always be in my memories.
He was and is so beautiful. Just in that short period of time, before fame ever really took hold, he pulled people out of darkness with the power of his talent and the purity of his soul. That's why I keep coming back to watch these videos. To remember the light Willie showed me. That there is light.
