RTV Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Noah sang "Giving You Up" by Kameron Marlowe (The Voice season 15) for his audition. Then Kameron surprised Noah at his hometown concert, and they performed the song for the crowd. It was great to see Kameron be so supportive of Noah.

RTV Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) It's not surprising that Noah's full audition video has 2,692,975 views. What a story! "Hopefully in 20 years I'm still playing music, man, and pursuing this dream, maybe making something of it, hopefully."

Yes, I'm not surprised the experience was difficult for Noah at times. He was accustomed to small town life, and being away from family was probably hard on all of them. Noah missed his son learning to walk. I assume Noah was absent on Walker's first birthday, too. But I believe Noah's family will be happy they made the sacrifices for him to compete this season if he is able to build a successful music career from the opportunity. https://www.wtvq.com/ky-native-noah-thompson-wins-american-idol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some information in the Kentucky.com piece (updated May 25, 2022 at 12:50 PM) by Jacob Latimer was included in other articles. I've posted sections that provide additional details below, along with my parenthetical comment. Kentucky native Noah Thompson brought home a win for the commonwealth after being announced the winner of “American Idol” Season 20. Thompson was announced as the winner on Sunday after 16 million votes were cast during the show’s season finale. Thompson, originally from Louisa, worked as a construction worker before entering the reality singing competition. He attended Lawrence County High School. He was signed up for the show by his best friend and coworker, Arthur. “I really did not want to do it at all,” Thompson said. “I was kind of upset about it in the beginning.” A month after Arthur signed him up, Thompson said he received a call from Arthur asking for help with a job. When Thompson arrived, he realized Arthur had tricked him. Thompson showed up to a Zoom call of American Idol producers. “I ended up singing to them, and they told me I was going to go to Austin to audition,” Thompson said. (Noah and Arthur flew to the audition together. Neither of them had been on a plane prior to that flight, according to Noah.) During his time on the show, Thompson said the possibility of him winning didn’t hit him until he reached the top three. “I’m so hard on myself when it comes to singing and playing music in general,” Thompson said. “So when I made top three, I just couldn’t believe it.” Thompson said it’s hard to describe the feeling he had when he heard his name called during the finale. “Part of me wanted to win, part of me wanted Hunter to win,” Thompson said. “We became so close throughout the competition.” Thompson said he has enjoyed being back home in Louisa since the show ended. “I got off the plane and I felt like I could breathe again,” Thompson said. “I hadn’t seen a pine tree in two months, so it’s good to be back home and take all this in.” He said it means the world to him to represent Kentucky in the competition. “It was so cool to take home a win for Kentucky, because it’s been a long time coming,” Thompson said. Going forward Thompson said he is most excited to release new music. He said nothing has been officially announced yet, but he has new music in the works. Thompson performed his debut single, “One Day Tonight,” during the season finale. The song debuted at No. 3 earlier in the week on the iTunes country chart, according to Taste of Country.
