You're Gonna Cry During Odell Bunton Jr.'s Emotional Story & Soulful Singing - American Idol 2024 

🌷🌹🌺💐

I agree

Yes. It's also a good warning to my sons . No kids at 28 years of age

@@mugsevYes take care of your kids when you have them!!!

Amen and Amen blessed this man and his family

Well said. I agree 100%

Absolutely 💯

Go to any black church community in the US and you'll have at least half a dozen gospel singers like him... amazing singers.

Man, What Chu Say!!! It's jus sum bout music u can feel in yo soul!!! That's God!!!❤❤❤

I wish I could attach Tyra Banks face to this comment 😂😂

Totally agree!! Beautiful!!

Gotta love Jelly

Yes!

Annointed... Yes Suh!!! I am cogic... and I know when I hear it!!!

Grew up in the church and they they hunger for the hell of Hollywood? Why? Whitney was pimped out by her mother to homosexual Clive davis took her God talent and made money off of it for Hollywood Arista Jessica Simpson was a worship leader then pimped out by her parents to sex modeling It goes on and on. Elvis started out in Gospel then pimped out too. I aint celebrating a man who has children and a wife yet is hunkering for the fame and money of PedoWood Hollywood.

#truth ✌🌟😇

I agree!

Exactly!

So true, he's already a hidden star!

His talent speaks for itself. It was a wrong song choice. 🩵🩷💛

Amen ❤

Amen

Let The Church Say AMEN!

Amen

Amen

Doesn’t that make it even sweeter!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾

lie

@@Anaaksounamounyou DO know- people CAN go to school with someone 🙄. Like, a duh- SOMEONE had to have gone to school with him. Those things *are* possible lol

@@melstrr564my comment always makes someone answer so funny :D

Praise God 🙌❤

Praise God!!

I’m with you! Don’t even know him and he’s a star! ⭐️

GOD IS GOOD! 🙌🏾

God is good! 🙌🏾

Right!!

God bless, can I get an Amen 🙏🏾

YES INDEED HE DID! It was flowing all through him!

Was looking for this comment! Amen!

I know that’s right!!!

Amen, he already won, by Lionel Richie helping him with a security agency$$$$$

Unfortunately who needs to win it & who should win based upon their talent level & range is not ever who wins in the end....it's a popularity contest & within the first week of live shows or so u can def start to tell who their gonna give it to by the editing & camera time u see with the contestants. It's disheartening...& it always bothers me how we never hear or see most of the people who's won this show...in the 20+yrs it's been on...there's only 4 or 5 former contestants or even winners that actually have a successful singing career....it just makes u wonder...how does it continue to be a successful show when its not breeding success in the way it should?? ...now that very well could be bcuz the contestants/winners aren't putting in the hard work & unrealistic expectations...but I've heard that they get stuck n these contracts where for a few years their not able to promote themselves the way they want...& that idol management basically owns the rights to their talent...the industry is not at all what folks think it is. Ill shut up from ranting...lol...either way ,me being a vocal coach for almost 20yrs.. ima always keep watching..ima huge fan of music & artistry & theres nothin that feels better than witnessing someone bare their souls & share their gift with us...i truly believe music has the power to heal & change the world...& I agree with u...this man's voice is incredible ...he most def has an old school tone that u don't hear much these days. You should check out this song featuring Anthony Hamilton - ive been alone a lot lately ...forgive me cuz I can't think of the main artist name but it's the same vibe as this guy's voice & I think he would do great in.

It's Louis York...the name of the song - Alone Alot Lately... that I was referring to at end of my comment....but he was turned down for idol several times & when u hear him your gonna think how??? Lol...just goes to show...sometimes what we hear is not what "they" hear.

Wow he is good

He has a beautiful voice and really does have potential. However, he's too specialized. He won't win. It's ok, there's more than life to Idol

Bro I know he almost died 😭

😹😹😹

Honey, he felt the power of carbs 😂😂😂😂

Me too

I was just gonna say that his voice sounds like that southern quartet gospel. So good to hear.

Same. At my desk at work in tears.

❤❤❤❤

Exactly!!

😂😂😂

a great ending to a great performance. icing on the cake hehe

😂😂😂

Lol...ikr! Like Ryan move out the way😂😂😂

Lmfaoooo

I couldn't agree more. Love him!

He's a keeper.@@windsup2day

So here I am missing the show 😭 I didn't even know it was back on

I WILL likkely watch this show this year because of him !!! I HAPPENED UP ON it tonight n saw him!! This show seemed like it had become JUST FOR 1 GROUP of people when it comes to the winners!! TIP: IF SOMEHOW THEY WOULD ALLOW 1- 800 CALLS AGAIN MORE' OLDER PEOPLE WOULD WATCH AND VOTE!!!

I felt that too

Yes... literally!!

❤❤Winning Amen Annointing beyond.Real talk.

I miss those days riding around in the car listening to classics

💯

💯

Was going to say the same thing!

ENTIRELY away!!!!!

The building would be on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

FACTS💯💯💯

I. DEFINITELY WILL ☝🏾🎉🙏🏾💯‼️🎶🔥

He's a wonderful singer. But you can't say he's the best because we haven't seen all the contestants yet.

As the judge's stated, "...He is the best soulful singer by far..."

@maryhines6744 Can you read? Where did I say he was the best? I said he's my pick to win the whole thing, but American Idol has changed. It's not about who has the best voice anymore like it use to be. It's about who has the best story, more social media views & which person is more marketable.

Amen, my Era, when music was Music, not the rapping, reggae, bring back the old Ballard's, this young has a calling. The Lord exalts him, he's worthy Lord, in the Holy Name of Jesus guide his path, send your anointing over him & his family, touch the hearts of mankind that will judge him, Lord You can do it 😂😂😂

Sure, go ahead and root for him.

Amen!!

They brought him back and gave him the Platinum Ticket!!!! ❤❤❤

@@cubnation hes my favorite contestant hope he goes far!!

​@@jonathanwilliams365I do too! He is just superb! I'm picking him to win. He makes it look easy. I can't understand why he isn't signed to a label already! He is so awesome. ❤ 6:32

Please let all doors open for him he has a lot of talent

Open the doors for him and his family. God do it your way. ❤

See? Point made. Gospel. 🩵🩷💛

Perfect voice, wrong 🎼 song 🩵🩷💛

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥beautifully made it his own!

Speaking of…he’d absolutely slay that song, “Take Me to Church”.
