He wore an olive green baseball cap with sunglasses. Colin also wore a button-down shirt with a guitar slung over his chest. The judges were blown away by his simple and low-key performance. They applauded him as Lionel said: “Very good.”

Luke was taken by the young country artist. He admitted that this is “what the show was about.” All three judges said yes and Colin Stough got his golden ticket to Hollywood. Fans shared their thoughts on this hopeful. They have a feeling that Colin could sweep the show.
Is American Idol turning into Country Idol?
Some fans wondered what kind of show they were watching. There were more country contestants than ever. The show planned to travel to some of the “biggest party cities” in the country. However, it’s still picking up country talent along the way.
American Idol fans took to Twitter to react to Colin Stough’s golden ticket. Some joked that it’s become Country Idol. They fear that last season has inspired the judges to find more country musicians. Here are just some of the comments:
- “I ain’t doing this country s*** this year. I don’t care how sad his backstory is I ain’t doing it.”
- “Just put American Idol on the Country Music Awards. I am so sick of season after season with the same voice.”
- “I think American Idol has found its season winner in Colin. He’s got all the checkmarks: country.”
- “He sounds like all of them, kindly no thank you.”
- “Colin Stough’s Simple Man was sturdy but in no way spectacular. Which puts him on even footing with the last two American Idol winners.”
The last two winners of American Idol were country singers. What are your thoughts on the Season 21 premiere? Do you think Colin Stough will be the next Idol? Sound off below in the comment section.

Why not Collin? Just shows America loves country folk. Especially those with a hint of blues. Go Collin!
Colin does not have half the talent than some of the already departed contestants. I wish the trump hicks would just go feed their horses and turn off the tv.
OMG!!! Will you marry me? I feel the same way…still having nightmarish flashbacks of “gee golly” Scotty McCountry’s win.
Colin sounds like he has marbles in his mouth. I’m convinced that if I put on a pair of cowboy boots and a cowboy hat I could win AI…and I can’t sing to save my life!
This kid is genuine and the real deal. I bet he could sing anything he wanted to, and country’s all right with me!
Love him Another Lane Hardy
Better than Laine. Colin is absolutely winner material ! so what if it’s another country singer winner. He’s had the most growth along his journey on Idol, and that’s what they look for. He’s humble and so appreciative of everything and everyone that has gotten him where he is (unlike some who think they’re “All that”) He deserves to win. He’s worked the hardest, and let me tell ya- his performance of “Dancing on my own” was like phenomenal!!! He soooooo deserves to win! Go Colin, and God Bless Ya!
Another hick response……
I think he is awesome
Colin is the real deal! A great singer and great personality too! The show is about Talent which he genuinely has! Rather a great Country singer than those tiresome ballad sad singers. Enough if those!
I am a fan and you don’t have my vote or votes of others that may be fans because voting hasn’t officially started yet. No one has the right to remove him because he MIGHT win. He has earned his merit into Hollywood week and should continue to compete. This is competition not politics, OR IS IT!!! Then send others home because they MIGHT win. Talk about hypocrisy.
What a stupid article/comment. If the fans vote for a country singer and he wins that means the fans picked the country singer! American Idol should realize their fan base. Wow
Colin Stough has an amazing voice and talent. Can’t believe they would even consider cutting him. Country or not he’s amazing. I could listen to him all day. Going all the way. Down to earth and sweet. He has raw talent.
Colin is a great singer. He has my vote. Everyone in life has done or said something that they shouldn’t have before. Do not hold Colin back. think about what you did when you were young. you will agree. do not hold Colin back.
Love Colin Stough. Colin can sing different genres with no problem. The grit he has in his voice is like no other country boy. Go Colin!
This kid this is his day hes here to stay hes not here to walk away he is. He came too far to be the country star that you are. You’re in it to win it be proud yourself who you can’s Is singlike there’s no tomorrow.
You’re next. American idol. you come too far to be the country star that you are. You’re gonna be a big country star? You’re in it to win it and just move on and make the best music that you can out there for everyone to hear cause you have the voice to. Kill for.
