All I can say is, he's the winner to me. Everytime he sings, he bring it. When he sings, I gotta put my phone down & sit up in my chair to listen. I gotta stop what ever I'm doing to hear this brother sing. When a person can make you feel something when they sing, they have something special & Willie has that. To me he's the 2021 American Idol winner!
He knows what he wants to deliver and then goes out and does just that. And America loves what he does every time. In the finals with Grace. And then an amazing career.
AHHHHHHH I FEEL IT IN MY BONES!!!! Every single time he sings! Willie should already be making his tracks and on the road. He’s way bigger then American Idol. Such a beautiful voice! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Willie is an American idol. I could listen to him sing all day. His voice is soothing, natural and just simply amazing! Like lying and floating on a cloud. I'm rooting for Willie Spence.
EPIC. I was scrolling thru the comments just because I am still in the experience and didn't want to leave. Willie, you are special. Thank you for sharing your gift. Your jacket was perfect with the background. The whole picture was spot on, a piece of art.
Sir you are definitely called for such a time as this. May God continue to bless you as you bless us through song. May your light continue to shine. Shine bright like a "DIAMOND!"
Sad part is singing actual gospel will probably get him less votes, the way the world is now, ppl angry at higher powers. But he can sing songs in that style and ppl will be blessed and healed and possibly Vote.
Amen amen amen!!!!! Do so my brother we all definitely need to deliver GOSPEL OF JESUS IN MUSIC 🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵 TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY......GO AHEAD AND BREAK THAT DARKNESS DEVIL 👿😈 👹👺 satan who hold the lost children of God as captive....and you are called to break and destroy that creepy nasty jezebel perverted demonic Spirit craps in the music industry
@@JourneyMirror People ain't angry at "higher powers." They're angry with those that claim to represent said higher powers but use it to further divide, oppress, and swindle people politically & economically. We're in the dawn of intellectualism. Those who once ruled society by theology is finding it more difficult to control younger generations who can read, count, and explore different things at the push of a button. However, I do agree with you that he should stick to mainstream music that is in the vein of gospel music. All the greats like Aretha, Sam Cook, Ray Charles, and Whitney did it.
@@shanec9840 wow, ur right but ppl are also angry at higher powers. I based My comment on conversations with groups of people from diverse ages, races, nationalities, religions, cultures and spiritualities and the one thing that resounds is anger at God, god, the creator, or who ever they believe their higher deity to be. Your also correct that Yes ppl are upset with those that claim to represent said higher powers but....( do all the stuff u mentioned) becuz we tend to use each other and man tries to take a power that will never belong to them, this is all accurate. But Shane my comment is truth just as is yours. Dif ideas and opinions. I empathize with both groups that feel what they feel, and would not tell You what u said wasn’t true. Ppl have valid feelings and criticism, though i think it’s all bull and ppl should focus less on what man is doing and stop following man and just work out their own soul salvation. Me, i would Vote for Willie and Grace too,no matter what they sang and would love to sing with Willie one day in the back yard just on chill. He is so great!
How about him singing Glory on his new album featuring Ruben Studdard? Would love a duet from those two. I wish Ruben's career had been better since he won Idol because he is super talented as well.
Willie is my WOW! I can't say it enough....this young man deserves to win this. With God beneath his wings, how can he not? Way to go buddy! You give me major goosebumps or I'm moved to tears or both! Sending hugs your way!
I live 1 mile from Brooklyn Center , Minnesota, and trust me when I say, it has been hard times up here folks..but Willie Spence,..just like Katie Perry said: " you cut right thru that darkness "!! We hear ya! We feel ya and we love you Willie Spence! Everyone : ***VOTE*** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna here him do the whole song now! What a religious experience as Lionel said! This guy's so good he reaches into your soul and moves you. I keep watch and wanting more from him.
I listen to this every day and he is the only person today that can make us cry and have the hair stand up because we are so moved by his voice which was God given. Beautiful!!!!RIP Willie.
This man is very important to the music world Please remember this.... and no matter what song he brings to the mic, it brings happy tears, he is so moving
Ladies and Gentlemen let me introduce to you THE AMERICAN IDOL 2021 WINNER MR.WILLIE FREAKING SPENCE. This young man is BEYOND TALENTED. Each and every week he brings the house down.
I saw the video with the original singer and the movie Harriet in the background... wow powerful song and movie... very sad times in our history, and the song conveys the sorrow and strength that pushed for change... Willie indeed delivered!
Willie! Dang bruh I cry everytime you sing. I can feel the emotion in your voice. When I'm stressed at work or feeling down and need a pick me up I listen to YOU Willie. The tears that fall is just stress and frustration with so many things going on around us. I feel so amazing right now. You are such a blessing bro. Thanks for making me feel better. I need that album immediately.
I cried EVERY TIME Willie sang. Every single time. I miss him so much. My heart is broken. This world is not right without him in it. He was anointed by God Himself.
He’s amazingly gifted. Can’t believe he has not been picked up and recording already. Just a matter of time. He’s a winner already regardless of the outcome.
It was awesome that the writer for this song offered up her support to him before he sang this song! And did anyone notice he sang last? Who wants to follow this powerhouse? Awesome job Willie!
So I love all the contestants this year... but I’ve watched Willie’s song about 4 times already.. the others only once. He gives you more than a song.. he sings his soul.
Who else kept refreshing to get to watch his performance? 😅 this child is blessed. Wish he can do more gospel songs. He sure does have an anointed voice mehn. Loads of love from ph Nigeria 🥰😍🤩🤩😍💖💗❤💛💛💛💚💜💙
At 21 Willie Spence is already a star. His performance tonight was simply majestic. Every performance is epic.
I didn't know he was only 21! Goodness!
All I can say is, he's the winner to me. Everytime he sings, he bring it. When he sings, I gotta put my phone down & sit up in my chair to listen. I gotta stop what ever I'm doing to hear this brother sing. When a person can make you feel something when they sing, they have something special & Willie has that. To me he's the 2021 American Idol winner!
Amen!!!!

There are many great contestants this season, but Willie is one of a kind! His voice is phenomenal. I hope he wins.
EPIC. I was scrolling thru the comments just because I am still in the experience and didn't want to leave. Willie, you are special. Thank you for sharing your gift. Your jacket was perfect with the background. The whole picture was spot on, a piece of art.
I know !! I feel happy and blessed to hear him.
That had me crying over my goosebumps! Extremely powerful and moving performance! Like Lionel said “religious experience”
Right out of the gate he made the earth split with this riff. 0:30
Sir you are definitely called for such a time as this. May God continue to bless you as you bless us through song. May your light continue to shine. Shine bright like a "DIAMOND!"
RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE is right! No other contestant brings me to tears with goosebumps. THIS .. is your American Idol!!!!!!
If he sings more gospel, he'll win the whole damn thing! We need us some gospel songs, and he can deliver gospel!
Amen he’s a gift❤️
Sad part is singing actual gospel will probably get him less votes, the way the world is now, ppl angry at higher powers. But he can sing songs in that style and ppl will be blessed and healed and possibly Vote.
