Aw, it's that time already. :'( Part of me hopes he does win, but I'd be so happy for Nicolina, too.

New American Idol winner and #1 on iTunes. Pretty generic country fare to me but hey who knows if they push it. Actually he kinda sounds like a less raspier version of last years winner , Chayce Beckham.

He sounds like a less polished Chayce Beckham to me, which makes for a pretty boring winner, but it’s hard not to root for him. Not sure if they’ll release this to radio as I don’t think they’ve done so with any of the ABC era winners, but I think they’ll get something out sooner than later. Ditto for HunterGirl. I see both having some level of success in the format.

He's talented enough and his story is heartwarming (new blue collar father not really looking to become a star via tv is pushed that way by his friend) but I don't know if he's anything more than another in the Morgan Wallen style (of music) that will be copied by many in the coming years . But I'm sure he'll be fine as time goes on. It'll be interesting to see if radio takes to him at all.

I love his voice and think he has a lot of potential. He reminds me of Sam Hunt for some reason. Still, this song is very bland, I wish they'd given him something better to start with, more like Laine Hardy's "Flame."

Interesting, this got added to the Hot Country playlist last night which is going to give this song significantly more exposure.
