Bryant Thomas
Thomas was one of the biggest stars of the audition process, surprising the judges with his own version of a blind audition before surprising his girlfriend with a proposal on the national stage.
The Mobile native brought out another surprise this week, taking on Taylor Swift’s “Champagne Problems.” And the ovation
“You are a showman. I love your vibe, your style. I love that you picked that song because I feel like you’re going to keep us on our toes and I love that. And you have a great voice on top of that, it’s so soulful.”
Carrie Underwood
Kiera Howell
The youngest singer from Alabama broke the news on her own social media pages that she made the cut to the Top 30.
The 16-year-old from Geneva is just one of four contestants age 16 or younger to make it to the next round.
Kutter Bradley
To no surprise, the Shoals are represented when it comes to Alabama music on the big stage.
“I never would have thought I would be right here… ever. It’s kind of a dream that I don’t realize that I’m living. This is a huge opportunity for me.”
Kutter Bradley
The Florence native went with some alternative rock during the audition process but changed to country for Hollywood Week, performing “Boots” by HARDY.
“I feel like you’ve got a solid voice, you’ve got a big range. You were like a lion pacing back and forth, getting ready to bust out of the cage. It was good.”
Carrie Underwood
