For sure he didn't have it easy, but you know what feels weird about these auditions? They stand in front of three people they haven't met and the first 2 sentences into their conversation are like: - I grew up in a small town.... I've been through a lot in my life.... ... awkward silence - time for tears It's so sudden that it feels...manufactured. So it's either these people have become professional victims or the show is clearly staging where these conversations go by telling them something like they're gonna ask you whats your story and you're gonna have to say all the sad things we talked about in the interview. Because you need to say all these things in the little time you have so you get the audience invested in you before you start singing..... It's cheap. It makes me wanna skip any contestants that do this and that on its own is unfair for them because they might be great singers.

That baby had me in tears. The Lord has really blessed that baby to become a good person in life, not only for himself..but, for his family a well. I know they’ll love to see him prosper in life. You can tell his mother and his grandparents are humbled individuals. You can tell he’s really a mature kid as well.
