RTV Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 from recap by Lyndsey Parker: After earning a college degree in biology, Will gave himself one year post-graduation to pursue music. And with the way things are going so far, he may never need to rely on that diploma to earn a living, and he'll probably never have time to become a biologist. He's at least about to "give year two a shot," since his original Idol audition song, "Gone for Good," has already peaked at No. 2 on the iTunes Country Chart between Beyoncé and Luke Combs, which ain't too shabby. Will is such a pro that he doesn't need to do much to connect with viewers/listeners, and with this humble Drake White cover, he stayed the course. Luke also predicted that Will will be in next month's finale... which just so happens to coincide with the one-year anniversary of Will's decision to give music a try. What a difference a year makes. https://www.musictimes.com/articles/102401/20240414/american-idol-top-20-reveal-weepiest-episode-in-history.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTV Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) I checked to see if Drake White's "Makin' Me Look Good Tonight" is on the iTunes Top 100 Songs chart after Will's performance. It isn't, but "Gone for Good" is currently sitting at 50. Edited April 15 by RTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't, but "Gone for Good" is currently sitting at 50. Gone For Good is #38 all genre now. #16 country. Looks like another good run for the next few days at least. Streaming will get a boost too. 549K on Spotify right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many may have not even know it was on iTunes until tonight. That was brilliant how they slipped that in there. I can’t believe how much better this show is for the contestants than The Voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTV Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Just now, TeamAudra said: I can’t believe how much better this show is for the contestants than The Voice. It seems viewers become more invested in American Idol's contestants. The show leans into their backstories throughout the season, and the finalists have more performances than those on The Voice do. For example, Grace West sang eight songs in s23—counting her coach duet. We've already seen Will perform five times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I didn’t even know the song, but I’ve been checking out some Drake White after last night. I like. I thought this may have been riskier than a more well known song, but the more I listen, I understand the point of a choice like that. He showed a lot of different artistry in a short amount of time. This is really just a showcase for the music industry for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTV Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hopefully his song will be #1 on the country chart soon. I'm sure he's happy about being voted into the Top 14, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTV Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) excerpt from Mark Franklin's recap: He's reprising his audition song. And I won't be surprised [if] this jumps up the country charts again. It's a great song. And, naturally, Will sounds great on it. This guy is going deep into the competition.

RTV Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 by Andy Swift: Will's entry into the Top 14 was a foregone conclusion, so the fact that he followed it up with a perfect performance of his chart-topping original song "Gone For Good" was merely the cherry on top of this flex of a sundae.

TeamAudra Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 This rendition of “Purple Rain” is awesome. I’d be very tempted to pull this out for rock and roll hall of fame week. It’s from one of two lives he did today. There’s apparently no such thing as vocal rest for him. I caught a bit of his second live tonight, and he said he lost his voice last week, and got it back just in time for his performances. He did a lot of long lives, before that, taking requests and singing for hours. https://facebook.com/groups/1081024632987417/permalink/1100075627748984/ There are a few other clips from this live on this same account. Triston and Jordan were there too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 (edited) I pay attention to stuff that most people probably don’t notice, and it feels like he has a lot happening behind the scenes. He will be very busy when he’s done with the show. Edited April 20 by TeamAudra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan White is the Bryan I think of in connection with Grace West. I didn't know about Bryan Martin. I have wondered what a collaboration between Will and Grace would sound like. They both have tones I enjoy, and they play guitar well. Maybe it will happen one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Martin is on a lot of co-writes with her on the BMI site. I also remember reading his Facebook posts about her when she was on The Voice, and her and her boss (Brooke) went and watched him at CMA fest this past summer.
