His real name is Tyler Colon and he financed his music career with the $50k he won. Surprise(not), he got famous on Tik Tok Edited May 17, 2022 by AngelaKD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of people on here will disagree on this but out of the contestants this year Noah is epitome of why I loved the early years of AI finding a unknown and giving them a chance of having a career they never thought was possible. And I loved what Carrie said about Noah which I want to see Noah to be the winner. Leah and Hunter are not "already a star" though (I assume you are referencing them with that comment.) They are struggling artists who came on the show to gain more exposure. Just because they have original music out does not make them a star, and they have grown just as much as Noah throughout the season. Though, this just goes to show the manipulation of the edit. Leah has been edited as the loud quirky girl who has already found herself as an artist and Hunter has been edited as the overly professional singer who doesnt need the show (not saying I agree with that, but thats how the judges make it look.) On the flip side, Noah has been edited as the young, attractive working class father who has something to prove, which is why people sympathize with his arc more. But in actuality, Leah and Hunter have just as much to prove as well. Edited May 17, 2022 by m1key 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah has talked about how she just dropped out of college and was lost in life and decided to audition for Idol and she's grown so much throughout the season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I loved what Carrie said about Noah which I want to see Noah to be the winner. I think a contestant can grow on "old Idol" partially because their sales, buzz, etc. they had post-show were reasons to keep the alum & develop them. For example, S10 winner Scotty McCreery was someone young with potential. But he wasn't a songwriter & in the country genre the majority of current artists can write. He developed into a songwriter, but he had the sales, good chart success, etc. to likely be given the time by the label & industry to develop that. The majority of recent Idol alums (winners or other finalists) haven't done well. Gabby is the outlier. I'm not sure many labels, management, etc. will take the time to develop contestants. Noah has potential. Will BMG or someone else develop him & can Noah pick things up quickly? There's a lot of country singers out there who can probably take his place & some are likely more developed in their craft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTV Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 7 hours ago, Rampurewal said: Noah said in an interview he has no clue how to write songs and throws them out. Noah posted an original song on YouTube in 2020 and says he's written songs. It seems he's not confident in his songwriting ability, and he admits he's still learning. But that's okay. Writing your own songs isn't a requirement for winning American Idol or even for a career in music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
