  • “We must cancel these juries, I had enough with their crap.”
  • “The jury only likes country ffs.”
  • “Can’t wait for the #AmericanSongContest final next week, some much-needed practice for my outrage at robberies in a song contest before the first Eurovision results are announced!”
  • “The fact they announced Tennessee last to create tension and everyone just knew it would be 1st with the Jury haha.”

Winning the show for his state of Tennessee would cement him among a list of many singers-songwriters who came before. But, Braden didn’t end up winning. Yet, he had a good time since he got to rub elbows with Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg. Braden calls his time on the show “an awesome, surreal moment” in just two months.
