    ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
    AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in February 2021 for its forth season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2019, as the virtual Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering many cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

    Willie Spence singing "I was here" was prophetic. Unfortunately I've only just heard of this young angel now that he's passed on. May he rest in love and may his family find peace in time. Sad day but happy that I got to hear his voice. He was here and will always be!❤

      So I never knew of him, either.
      What an incredible voice! Blessed by God, for sure.
      And now, resting in eternal peace w/our Savior.✝
      May his devastated family find comfort in knowing that. And in the knowledge they will be reunited w/Willy forever, in the same, indescribable _glory_ Willy knows now. 🙌

    I am an African (from Nigeria). Believe me when I say part of me died when Willie passed. Willie Spencer wasn't just talented.....He was an ANGEL. His HUMILITY was from outta this world. I can't stop the tears from falling down my eyes..... especially when I watch him sing "Never be alone" and "I was here". I've always trusted God's judgements, but I was almost on the verge of asking God a question.......Why, why Lord, did Willie gotta go so early????? He was just so lovable, adorable, humble, talented, and so down to earth. I love Willie with every fibre of me. My wife made me stop watching Willie's idol videos because I was always emotional just watching them. But, this video suddenly appeared on my feed......I Had to see my boy (Willie), regardless of what emotions I was gonna feel. WILLIE WAS TALENTED, BUT HIS HUMILITY WAS WHAT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM. REST IN PEACE BROTHER, YOU ARE UNFORGETTABLE.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    This man's voice transcends any other sound in the room. He makes this show look like a little league with his angelic, piercing beautifulness he calls a voice. I will forever believe he should have won this show and won at life and it's the most unfortunate fact that he will not be able to sing anymore. I love this man's presence, the way he carries himself, and all of the emotions he's able to get us to experience during his performances. Rest in peace you legend, Willie Spence.

    I absolutely adore this kid !! I just don’t understand how/why life is so unfair sometimes. Willie should still be here, the world needed him. But, since he’s not, I so very much wish/pray someone somehow could take all the songs he’s ever sung on the show, or wherever, and make a CD of them ! I know they’d sell, and the proceeds could help his family so very much. And also, a college scholarship could be established in Willie’s name. He’ll live on in everyone’s hearts, no doubt, but also physically if either or both of these things could be done. It’s a random thought I had while watching all his videos on here. He had such a bright and blessed future ahead of him. A CD and/or scholarship fund would be ways to keep his memory alive forever and would help so many people, especially deserving students. He was unique and definitely blessed by God. Heaven’s choir is perfect now, but our earth is forever saddened from losing Willie. Rest in Paradise. You were an angel here on earth, and now hold the real title in Heaven. We’ll miss you always. 🙏 🎶 😢💔

When he sang Glory, that was so powerful I could see the people coming out from all over with Joy, Happiness and Love. That's the kind of messages each of his songs delivered. When I started reading the comments of his passing it actually shattered me. I was going to go to facebook to find him, and express my Joy of listening to him sing.

I first heard this mans' voice less than an hour ago.... and im balling my eyes out, I saw one clip of him in a random yt short, had him on half the screen and just like cars revving engines on the other half ( it was a stupid, yt short with no views ) but I still heard his voice and had to look him up it was the one of him singing in a chair in a back room or something. And as I'm listening saw in the comments, his passing; So Tragic, But Oh soo beautiful, that He was able to share his voice with the world and he will never be able to die now, not in our hearts for his memory will Shine Bright Like A Diamond for all of Humanities Future Pain.

    This message is for you, Willie. Just listening to you sing is enough to realize that it was your passion. You sang not only for yourself but also for your family; the humility and soul you put into every performance… they were simply moving, beyond the gift you possessed. Your voice, with that absolute mastery and the freshness of youth, was unmatched. I remember the first time you uploaded your cover of "Diamonds" on TH-cam; even then, it was clear that your talent and charisma would take you far. Many of us, upon hearing you, felt that we had discovered someone truly special, with a gift so extraordinary that it left us speechless, as if it took our breath away.
    Sometimes, life is cruel, not only to those who leave, but also to those who remain and remember you. Many of us remember you… and we wonder: What have we missed? Hearing you sing with the wisdom that comes with the passage of time and life’s experiences would have been an immense gift for all of us. But, what did you leave us? With you, I have laughed, I have cried, I have been moved, and I have felt deeply. That’s why I write these words to you, as if by putting them down, I could remember you more clearly. We cannot be sure that we are all connected, but what is certain is that you will always be in my memories.
