Noah Thompson, a 20-year-old construction worker from a small town in Kentucky, is captivating the whole country with his voice, personality, and a set of beautiful blue eyes.
But Noah’s talents go far beyond an impressive voice. This young father’s unique country spark has made him a fan favorite on the 20th season of “American Idol.” For his Top 14 Performance, Noah chose “Nobody to Blame” by Chris Stapleton. Despite his dedication to perfecting his performance, his mentor, Gabby Barrett, felt like something was missing. The problem? He wasn’t feeling the song.
This observation prompted Noah to make a difficult last-minute decision. In the end, he decided to go for a classic by Ben E. King called “Stand By Me.” The audience and judges’ reactions definitely confirmed that switching songs was the right decision!
“You know, Noah, Gabby gave you a gift by changing that song, because you actually felt that song,” Lionel Richie said. “You were in it. I know you were trying to figure out your navigation, but your voice fit that song perfectly.”
We couldn’t agree more! No matter what happens, Noah has already won a spot in our hearts, and that’s all that matters.
Watch Noah’s amazing performance below, and don’t forget to share with a friend.
