Talking about his singing, Luke said, “It’s got the vibe of lounge music.” Katy Perry too praised the aspiring singer. She said, “I don’t know who you are as an artist yet I know that you can sing. I don’t ever want to go to karaoke with you because you will kill it. But a karaoke star doesn’t make American Idol star.”
Fans Want American Idol To Give Mikey A Chance
Both Luke and Katy gave Mikey a no stating that he is in the discovery phase of his career. The only one to say yes was Lionel. So, it is decided that Mikey Burson isn’t going to Hollywood with his mother. Despite getting a standing ovation from the three judges, Mikey and his mother failed to get the golden ticket.
This didn’t sit well with fans that loved his performance and slammed the judges on social media for their decision.

Give the boy a chance!! He is better than virtually all the other singers!! Do you realize how difficult Cold As Ice was to sing? He crushed it!! Let him in!!
He definitely has the talent. I was shocked he didn’t get the Hollywood ticket. I hope they give him another chance because the man can sing.
YES!
Everything is about money and they probably didn’t let him through based on money.
Mikey was and is a talent to be reckoned with. I truly believe his career in music will skyrocket because of the American Idol judges and their stupidity!
