Here in 2024 and first time hearing this. I love the song and was just looking around on utube and decided to hear Willie Jones. I felt like an auntie as he was singing - sooo super proud of him.
When she first started talking about a country album? I couldn't help but wonder if she would work with Willie Jones and sure enough, she did! He deserves all success and so does she :)
SonyXplods21 i know right l totally understand and feel the same. My mom taught me to have respect and manners to my elders. That’s just how we do it in Georgia and the rest of the south.
2023 and still love hearing Willie sing this ... but it's not just his awesome voice, it's his personality that shines through. Willie, you're top notch, and I hope you remain that way!
I stumbled across this amazing young man (Mr. Willie Jones) by accident (June 2023) or should I say by divine appointment. What a wonderful voice he has..but moreover, you see his humility and character through his singing. I listen to the song all the time..and when I do, I send up a prayer for him and his family. May God always BLESS Willie Jones in his singing career! 😊😊😊
To everyone who says he can't hit the low notes: HE IS SEVENTEEN and he sings NON professional (if this word even exists..) Give this man a chance. He did well!
Well with his outfit I thought he was gonna rap too then he started singing & I was like “...alright I can see how that can be a southern boi outfit too”
That moment you want to hear this audition but you can't remember his name so you earch "super deep voice black guy audition" and it appears as the first result lmao
I’m from Shreveport, Louisiana. Respecting our elders is a way of life. The fact that they laugh at that is telling. We aren’t a bunch of hay seeds. We have respect for people. And I’m proud to say I raise my children in this exact same way. And my proudest moments are when I am told my children are so polite and respectful. I think the world will be a much better place with a few more thank yous and yes ma’ams.
Just beautiful. I know the world is a better place for having him in it. Whenever I'm feeling a bit miz, I watch this. I so hope that he has found what he needed. Zx
I'm 65 years old and at this point in my life almost everything is the SAME OLD SAME OLD, but every now and then something unexpected happens. Thank you Mr. Jones for giving this old man a real treat by not doing the expected!
Tout à fait d'accord avec toi. Je suis à la soixantaine aussi et quand je vois et j'attends cela.... Ca redonne courage en l'avenir. Il est vraiment super ce jeune ! un grand bonheur d'avoir entendu cela.
@@thomaswild2957 True. But him being Black and doing Country music seem to click and work being outside the box, just like that Black man and the Wagon Wheel song. Darius Rucker
He's on country stations now, frequently!!! I'm not surprised. He connected with that audience instantly. OOOOOH! That smile. If I was 40 years younger, I'd be in heart-throb mode. He's unique and he's going to be around for a long, long time.
I crack up every time I see this😂 dude shocked EVERYBODY! I remember this performance, one of my favorites from this show❤ congratulations Willie! Walk in your season young man, beautiful song you’ve done with Beyonce.
I remember when this black country singer first came.They just had him on radio.Them white people didn't want to let on he was black for awhile.Charley Pride!
I can't believe he didn't make it as big as Malaki the 13 year old from 2023......he's That good, probably school, and wow, if he had a few people write some songs he'd be HUGE>
Most definitely. I finally decided to listen to Josh Turner a few minutes ago. Willie sings not only circles around him, but squares, triangles, and parallelograms! lol
this is the only country song i still fuck with till this day. sometimes i be singing it randomly and its all because i first heard it through his audition. classic
What the world seems to have forgotten is the fact that Black people invented country music he is simply coming back home to his roots, not venturing off into something that was created by someone else
The clean cut look works better for country western singing than the. Grungy look to me....I never saw grungy country western singer in my life..Don' go so far out there ya can't get back...good guy and fantastic sound...Image is everything
He knocked it right out of the ballpark past the bleachers, spotlights, and into the downtown streets. Such a shy & humble gentleman, I bet he had some proud parents standing in the wings they did an excellent job.
What a lovely young man! His kind soul, respect and humility shine through, even as he has the confidence to knock our socks off musically and with his style. This is America being great. Blessings on you and your beautiful family, Willie!
I am bedbound and saw Willie's audition for the first time 5 weeks ago. I play it over and over. He is the whole package. Who would have expected that 50 year old song coming from him. Absolutely brilliant and I love the judges reactions.
Who is here in 2024?😅

Here in 2024 and first time hearing this. I love the song and was just looking around on utube and decided to hear Willie Jones. I felt like an auntie as he was singing - sooo super proud of him.
The gag is Willie didn't win his season but today he realised a song with Beyonce. Don't give up. What's yours is yours
I wish Simon had signed him or Reid had taken n mentored him. But glad to hear him with Beyoncé. Hope you’re going to do a bigger things.
When she first started talking about a country album? I couldn't help but wonder if she would work with Willie Jones and sure enough, she did!
He deserves all success and so does she :)
That's how you do it, WILLIE JONES!
Whaaat?!?!? I didn't know that. Now, I have to go find it.
“Southern man?”
“Yes sir.”
“Just yes is fine”
“Yes sir.”
That’s how we do it in the south. 🤠
It really is sad that the newer generations are missing out on really nice life lesson such as manners .

Absolutely!

Don't ever change, Willie!!
Such a beautiful voice and that smile and skin tone, to die for!

It's better than confirming them.
Country is the slower version of soul.

To everyone who says he can't hit the low notes:
HE IS SEVENTEEN and he sings NON professional (if this word even exists..) Give this man a chance. He did well!
TheWailingWoman HES AREADY NOT FAKING IT OMGGGGGGGGGG AND HIS AREADY SO GUD AT IT
there is a word smh it's called amateur
well, Scotty McCreery was 16
I could easily got those notes since I was 13. He shouldn't sing this song. He has to try so hard to go "low"
Michael Fink lol ok mate
here we are in 2024 and watching this fabulous rendition of Josh turners' song..
The looks of the judges faces when the music starts. When he started to sing. The shocking looks. Amazing voice
Love it😊
The judges' jaws dropped when his song started... They really thought he was gonna rap lol
They didn't think he was going to rap the were shocked of the song choice... they know their music...
Josh turner
666th like
Danny Black racist asssses
Well with his outfit I thought he was gonna rap too then he started singing & I was like “...alright I can see how that can be a southern boi outfit too”
He's got a stunning voice plus he's such a handsome, classy young man.
He has a voice like 30 yr
old malt scotch
His voice just encourages the soul!
Watching in 2023 and still love it.

Is it just me or has anyone else keep replaying the part where he’s like “baby lock the door and turn the lights down low” at the start
I'm keep replaying that part, so good
Love that part. Has this kid been a success in the intervening 5 yrs ?
He hit the second lock the door a bit cleaner, he was a little sharp at the start
I will come back in 2050 to watch it again ❤
Definitely please tag me when you do😂

He should have gotten a golden buzzer
Mile Stone he gets it his next audition
I'm still listening to Willie Jones . 1.25.2020
Its the Xfactor there is no golden buzzer. Lol
No buzzers
He's 10000 times better than that unrefined Courtney Hadwin. Why no golden buzzer??
I didn't know him, until I saw him on tiktok, it's viral, what an amazing voice, God bless this guy. Success

I recall country being black before it white washed.
And the SHOCK on peoples faces when they learned Darius Rucker was black too!!! Loved it!!
I don't think I've ever heard Simon so sound happy and impressed at the same time. My jaw dropped at the praise but the guy 100% deserved it.

He was with Kodi Lee
I like to watch this video at least once a week. Love his voice.

2023 y’all, this guy’s a legend
Love this guy so much. Imagine having that kind of charisma...
He knocked it right out of the ballpark past the bleachers, spotlights, and into the downtown streets. Such a shy & humble gentleman, I bet he had some proud parents standing in the wings they did an excellent job.
I think that I'm watching this daily ❤❤❤
I absolutely love this kid. Everytime I see him I listen to him.
I watch this video over and over and never get tired of hearing this handsome young man sing. I’ll watch it forever!
