My collaboration with Rascal Flatts! (Doug Kiker American Idol Finale)
Ойын-сауық
Wow y'all! I can't believe I actually got to sing with Rascal Flatts. So much has happened since my first audition y'all. I am working on putting together an album! I'm doing a crowd funding campaign. If y'all want to check it out, here is the link: www.indiegogo.com/projects/fr...
Thank y'all so much for following me on this journey. I can't do this without y'all! Woohoo!!

American Idol made a huge mistake letting Doug go. The judges told him they would help him with his voice range and they didn't. Doug, I think your amazing.

I think it’s because he is still learning how to use his voice and therefore music backing helped him, but they let him go right before that round of Hollywood started.

They let him go and then contacted him offering life-changing chances and lessons so he could learn and slowly improve, the judges made a great decision

Also even tho he is a legit man that's worthy of what theyre giving to him but there where a lot more complete singers and it would be unfair to pick doug

@@marykettle2097 if you base someone on their teeth you are missing out on knowing a lot of great amazing people. I am 47 yrs old and lucky enough to have all but one of my own teeth. I have worked in trades and business and a few friends that are doctors, engineers in various fields and a huge ass family from teachers, nurses, mental health workers, ece's politicians and I can tell you this. about 4 people come to mind instantly that I consider the smartest people I know. Their education level is grade 4 grade 5 grade 9 and grade 12 buth not enough credits to get a grad cert. of the 4 three have very few teeth left. If you think confidence comes from having all your teeth that just shares your level of shallowness or ignorance. I didn't finish high school myself. How ever I did continue my education as a graphic designer, and auto tech and an auto body tech. HOWEVER in my younger days I dated gals that were doing the 4-5-6 yr degrees in university. I use to dabble into some of their classes. anyone can go but obviously you don't get that edumacation put down on paper. I got kicked out of so many of those classes for asking what I thought were simple questions that the professors could not answer but I already knew the answers to. In hindsight I could of written a book. Especially on psychology. Maybe in my retirement I will write one one the brian of the common sense wo(man) and the superficial wo(man) and the mind of a liberal and a conservative. (if you're a stupid american as you seem to be with your comment) a republican and a democrat. On paper I have a high school cert because I did credit courses after the fact (here we call if ABE/GED) I did a graphic design college cert and two programs in in the automotive field. I am essentially and god love me for it. A true blue red neck. I have 3 cars a truck and a motorcycle that does not run. My favorite possessions are Nascar 1/24 scale action collectables and TOOLS that would fill your house. well providing your house is under 8000 sq/ft. Toss a suit on me and trow me into a the mix with docs or engineers I can could ask questions that they could not answer yet I could. I could cure most cancer if the government would listen but its no money into common sense solutions. I could build cars that are cool looking and self charges but the government don't like self charging. Again no money in that. If you want to judge someone by their teeth. You go right ahead. I tend to judge people by their morals and intelligence. You comment lacks both. truly
I’m glad they gave that man some teeth. He came out the real winner. You can tell he’s already got more confidence. I wish more people would help people in need like that. Dude deserved it.

I never witnessed such humility from such a talented young 👨 man I wonder if he realizes how many people he has inspired to pursue your dreams. God Bless this young man. And just to let you know my brother worked as a garbage man to help pay his way through medical school he became an emergency room physician raised 4 children but has since passed away but this song is amazing and so is the person singing it
Best voice on the show this year.

When my son was a toddler the garbage man was his weekly highlight. We would watch him faithfully and wave and he would wave back. When we actually met him my son was over joyed and we learned he had a little child too. You never know who is actually watching and paying attention to you in your everyday life...dont lose yourself at all...there might be another small toddler watching you too. This sounded amazing and wish you the best.
We need his beautiful voice and kind humble presence in the industry, he deserves a chance he's really good.
I’ve played this about ten times straight. I’m a Melanated Sister from the hood and know nothing about country music but I’m Stuck on this song and rendition. This Is More than Outstanding!!!!,,,, I’m literally in tears!!!!!! My new favorite song,, and DOUG!!!,,,,, MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doug, I stumbled upon your very first audition scene... saw the potential there, but most importantly, the judges saw it, and though you were let go in Hollywood, they didn't let go of you... it speaks bundles of how good and understanding they are by contacting you and have you record that song from beginning to end with the original artists... and you, young fellah... you outdid yourself! fantastic rendition of that lovely song, and you did it with so much gusto, it was a joy to hear you sing. Keep at it... "practice makes perfect"!!!! You are one heck of a singer! I look forward to hear you sing more! God bless you, and keep guiding you till you reach the heights you deserve! Much love and support from all the way in Hokkaido, Japan.
Nothing like singing with one of the greatest male vocalist ever! Congrats to you Doug, well deserved! Keep on, keeping on!
I was sobbing during this performance. Beautiful ❤️
