I don’t watch American Idol on television too many people get let down. Daughtry did better not winning. The Teskey brothers played in clubs and bars and then got their YouTube channel . Now they’re famous making big dollars all over the world. Maneskin started on an Italian version but how many get that famous and hold that fame after a year? Not many . Sad sad for his family and children

My guess is due to the location, he got bitten by some drugs laced with fentynal from the sound of it. Such a shame and that is why we need to get these drug cartels the hell out of this country!

Tooo young, he deserved better than this. I understand the religious concept of after death, but I also agree that some mortals deserves to live until their oldest ages.

If you do some research it was most likely drugs. So sad. He probably had a big history, probably why he didn’t have teeth too. I wish he had help to get out of that instead of diving into it.

Sincere thoughts, prayers, and condolences for his family and friends. And for everyone who knew and cared for him. He had a wonderful voice and a nice personality too. I was really hoping that he could have gone much further. But I think that it might have been a struggle for him to get over his nervousness. And it also seems to quite often be much harder for poorer contestants to get a fair chance. Especially since they, or a parent can't always afford to keep taking so much time off from work. Or to leave their family for so long. May he find peace, and hopefully be singing along with the great Heavenly Angel band. I pray that his loved ones are able to find peace and joy, within their most cherished memories of him.đŸ˜ȘđŸ’”đŸ™đŸŒˆđŸ‘ŒđŸ•ŠđŸ’ȘđŸŽ™đŸŽŒđŸŽ”đŸŽ¶đŸŒŸđŸ’â˜€
