Who else is here after that short that was cut short?
Omggg yessssss
Lol. Yep
Yes!😂
Me, I regret it actually. Shit's horrible
Hahahahaaha😂
THIS WAS CRAZY. Literally one of the most wild things that have ever happened- honored to share my music on a platform like this ❤
yay! rooting for you!
Stay humble Sam. You are great!
I absolutely LOVE your voice!!!! Congratulations on your ticket & can't wait to watch your journey!
Love your tone and energy 🎉 ! Rooting for you!
You have a humble and charismatic personality and a great voice! So well done! Just very likeable all round.
Dude showed up to support his friend and showed out when given the opportunity to shine! Good stuff Sam!
What the edit didn’t show you is that I LITERALLY just wolfed down a chipotle burrito full of cheese & sour cream about 15 minutes before this… cause I had no intentions of singing 💀I showed up & did my best and luckily it was enough for the judges to get me to Hollywood!
@@kaykomusicyou have a peculiar tone of the voice. Go for it you deserve it
@@kaykomusic man, good luck for you. You made me happy for you. Wish you the best!!!! ❤❤❤❤ already a fan ahahah
@@kaykomusic LMAO! How crazy is life, right?! Good luck! ✨
Awesomeness!! Your stars were lined perfectly that day!!! Great job y’all…
The smile on his face tells me he really enjoys playing and singing!!
this is my life hahaha I can't imagine life without music
@@kaykomusicchecked out all of your music because of this. After spending a week listening to your music at work, I’ve decided that you have an incredible discography that has quite a bit of range but even more creativity. From your KaykoKeys music to your artist page, hands down INCREDIBLE. Excited to see what stuff you put out outside of Idol. Definitely gained a fan!🙏
@@kaykomusicwe'll have the time of our life watching you on Idol! (Sorry if you get that pun a lot).
"If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready" They threw him a curveball and he knocked it out of the park. Great song, wonderful vocal production "thru a smile." - So You Wanna Be A Singer
❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of my life mantras is “opportunity is when luck meets preparation” :)
Exactly! @@kaykomusic
I love how supportive the girl was. He was like we're here for you and she was like naw I had my turn, go ahead ❤
It was just karaoke for me.
That original song can be a movie soundtrack❤
that is my DREAM
In a very inspirational animated film, it would be great.
@@kaykomusicur great man! Keep singing, I watched this audition so many times.❤
I meaaaan!!!
@@thelifeofboboy8042Stuart little like!!!
He’s the winner of this season! His personality is a breath of fresh air!
Honestly, whether he wins or not is inconsequential, getting him exposed like this is what matters.
There has never been a truer example of “Luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.”
Give him a Ben Platt or Ben Folds song and he will knock it out of the park!
YES!!!!!!
2 goated artists
Maybe not Ben Platt… but Ben Folds, Ben Rector… for sure!
@@josephalansmith9611 All the Ben's lol
@@josephalansmith9611 100% thought Ben Rector when I was listening to him
I just love him. Not just his voice, but his spirit ❤
haha aw :)
Damn he is killing it. I can imagine him singing songs from The Fray, The Strokes, Franz Fendinand, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, A Great Big World, Simple Plan
Or Coldplay
@@sorcerersupreme4300 yes coldplay!
Same! The Fray and Snow Patrol ❤
Coldplay songs also..
Coldplay songs also..
The are both super humble she said he can do it all w no hesitation, he said humbly I’m here for you this is your day!
I’m so happy that came across. I was there for her and did NOT want to take away her moment
Don't worry we all know it's her moment but Sam you can't say no to Lionel Richie,Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry.
Sam has a unique sound and a beautiful tone. I loved his original song and he gave a sweet and emotional audition. He deserves to go far. He reminds me of Fritz.
❤️❤️ love Fritz
@@kaykomusic Same here man! I look forward to hearing more from you.
@@kaykomusicthat's exactly what I thought you reminded me of fritz
Unique? 😂
@@Jiiiisossj78998thank you. He's got a good voice, don't get me wrong. Unique though? Idk about that.
Bro was so confident, didn’t look nervous for a second. I’m jealous 😂
When you know your skill that well, you become.
The joy he exuded while performing was so beautiful to watch.
I. Dont think he needs american idol cause he's a super star already,,, Amazing talent
Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and Carrie Underwood needed Idol...it's not a measure of worth or talent to need exposure.
This is VERY KIND! I do self produce & release dozens of songs… I’m releasing 3 more new songs this month :)
Talent?
Agree
i stand corrected, american idol will expose him thats how i found out about him and his music@@AllGreyEverything
What a blessing! He comes on the show to support his friend & play piano. The judges offer him a ticket to Hollywood. So cool that they allowed this. @kaykomusic your going to go so far! Congratulations
I actually can't believe it
As soon as he started singing I was mindblown. His voice is so good!! Definitely didn't automatically go and listen to all his songs lol.
hahaha heck yes!! which song was ur fav?
@kaykomusic oh its hard to pick a favorite! They are all so good! Top three would be time of my life, crash and burn, and rock bottom! But they are all great!
That new Poser track is pretty good.
@@libertychip526 yeah ikr? It's another super great song!
I wanna see how far he can go…. He’s amazing!
Who knowsssss
@@kaykomusic whoaaaaaaaa! Congrats on the ticket…. Good luck! Top 5 material!!!
Me too cuz I didn't expected that from him 😁
this is the kind of friendship everybody needs
Indeed he is a truely underrated singer. His voice should be recognized by the world.
So kind!!
I swear he better sing some sort of 2000’s alternative rock!!! He will absolutely kill it!!
Finally an original singer. Amazing!
no karaoke for meeeee we only doin originals here haha
He’s awesome! Love his smile & enthusiasm.
all love here :)
I love his voice and that song he did! Definitely a front runner to win this show right now!
Woah
I’m so happy that this show is back!
WOOOOOOO
His personality radiates while he sings. He may surprise and go far!
AHHH thanks! i'll do my best
@@kaykomusic thanks for your response! Good luck to you!
He’s absolutely amazing! Top 10 for sure! You truly never know what life is going to throw at you…
Hes got that something you cant put your finger on. Hes got it!
wow... that is VERY kind
@kaykomusic it takes more than just a good voice and you've got it. I can't vote but I will be watching you from England. Good luck Sam!
Calling it now: this dude is winning it all.
This man is a hero!!! Last year I got into a bad accident swerving around a deer and flipped my car into the ditch on the side of the road. I was hanging upside down disoriented hanging on only by my seatbelt; I became increasingly aware of the smell of gasoline and began to panic. My seatbelt was stuck and no matter what I did I couldn't get free, thank god KAYKO broke my driver window and cut me loose. Not sure if I'd even be here to write this comment if it wasn't for this man, thank you KAYKO!!!
This guy is top ten material! Just got a feeling.
:))
Brendon urie vocal vibes, good job Sam
My king
I can definitely hear brendon! I love him!
Whoa, look at those eyes.
His glasses are magnifying them lol
👀👀
@@kaykomusic Were you not aware, sir? ;-)
I Think Kayko Is Going To Be In The Top 24 With Emmy And Abi
My top ones along with McKenna!
Abi going to be top 5
Agree and mia too
@@williambaire3252 I agree. Possibly 3rd place. Something in my gut tells me that the finale will be Blake and Mckenna. Abi will either get 3rd place, or get cut when they go from top 5 to top 3 along with Mackenzie. Mackenzie will get somewhere in the top 5.
🙊🙊 only time will tell
This guy brought tears to my eyes, i love kayko.
His voice is a breath of fresh air.
“If u stay ready, u ain’t got to get ready.”
REAL
But I'm ready lol
Rest in power Chi Chi!
The “We Sam-Bush’ed him” line is absolutely perfect!!! Obviously audition was set up but I hope that was off the cuff by Luke!
It was… producers couldn’t stop laughing about that one hahaha
@@kaykomusicThat’s incredible! Wish you nothing but the best going forward!
Obviously set up how?
*His comment is at the top, it wasn't a setup.* *It was the surprise of his life.*
He was incredible! He needs his song on spotify right now!
he is on spotify!
He’s a star!
❤️❤️❤️
Abi Carter/ keyko’s couple / Healy Mia !! What a package of great singers same day I have seen same day… the best of the best ever.🎼🎶🎵🎹❤
i absolutely LOVE this guy's voice. like we need this version right now.
This blew my mind! All of his songs are simply amazing!!!
So happy for you Sam! Been following you on instagram for years now and I've just been praying for a breakthrough like this.
Sam if you see this, you are my favorite so far. I'm so glad they got you to sing. Keep focused, keep smiling and you could be top 10 for sure. So talented. Good luck!
NOTED! thanks for the support
@kaykomusic, you're the bombdiggity!
He has rockstar vibes everywhere! And he owns them! This is the "that thing" everyone says they're looking for in a show like this!!
His eyes myghaaaad 😭🥰
Oh wow. He's great. Big, bold and positive. Definitely deserves a shot.
LOVED Sam's reaction at 2:00
He's the most together artist I have heard yet in AI 2024.
Very kind
This guy is going to win!! He is incredible!
My gosh. Goose bumps. He's incredible
That song was ready for radio
When your better than the person that tried out. Lol. Stay humble man. You got this. Probably 1 of my favorites so far. Just having fun and keep having fun. No pressure at all! Fellow Floridian.
aiyyyy lezgo florida
No need for the rest of the season. Let’s just call it now… he is our new American Idol!!
This man screams Brendon Urie vibes. Love it ❤
I hope he wins the entire competition!! What a surprise this was!!
But like… he was SO GOOD!! Such a great song too!!!
I'm so glad you've written almost 500 songs because you're going to blow up bigger than Bo Burnham and maybe not be able to write another one because of all you'll be able to do once you're there, but you've moved me and millions of other people.
I'm 53. I was a music major. You're an incredible artist and a true gift.
You're so much more than enough!
*Gives one of the best auditions all season*
"That was fun :D"
SOOOO I love this soo much that I have to rewatch it again! SAM you got a YES from me tooo LOL
I love this song--such a story-teller---would love to hear the entire song!
It's on spotify! All of his songs are under KAYKO.
YES I put a lot of hard work in the production of the finished product so go check it out wherever you listen to music :) this song is called TIME OF YOUR LIFE - KAYKO
He got what it takes to be your next American Idol! ❤
thanks ryan seacrest
What a talent! We know his dad Michael Cohen here at Broward Mall! Bravo Kayko.
He's a great songwriter, beyond compare.
Wild I just came upon this video , earlier today I happened to add 2 songs to my playlist from just random Spotify recommendations
Surely someone so sweet and talented and humble can’t exist.
I’m curious how he will do with cover songs, but he has a great voice and so much personality. I hope his song writing talent carries over to making other artists songs unique and memorable like this one and that he does well, because I want more of his originals!!
he reminds me of ben rector! yessir!
GOAT
The unassuming talent. Funny how things can change in an instant.
my life just changed in 3 minutes
Him winning would actually be a amazing look for American Idol.
The coolest thing I have ever seen on Idol lol. Both of them give off such good vibes (suit to be a couple haha) - wishing them the best!
He should be writing movie soundtracks. Look at the story and Layers you get with one 3 minute song!
I enjoyed this. So raw, natural and effortless. I hope he does well.
thanks a bunch :)
I gotta always love this panel of judge’s . Blessings to you all❤
Ben folds vibes. Awesome
2000's king
Definitely a hit song . Fabulous .⭐️👏

Katie sensed his talent as soon as she saw him seating at the piano and asked what his band name was

There,somebody said it. 😌
