That was AMAZING !!! Congrats y'all !!!🎉🎉🎉

Hello David

@@dhLotan hello Lotan

Look is all you care about anyway ^^

Sat him in a room with two vet writers, Terry McBride & Brett Beavers, of course he's got a solid song. Album was released last Sept, no-one noticed, but this show is going to launch him. At least he can sing.

​@@threesharpsa7302 He also has a stage presence which will translate well to videos too.

I hope he could be a big star someday

@@topdog7962 OH he will for sure!!!!!!

Yup! This could easily have been a CMT awards show!

Isn't that the truth. The girls in the audience loved him.

Couldn't agree more!!

Me too!! For you!

AMAZING !!ECHT EIN TOLLES LIED VON IHM!!!❤😂🎉

​@@ursulahofmann857😢😢😢

Bobby, I absolutely agree with every word you said! These amazing guys should have won it hands down. London, England/UK 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We lost toby Kieth this year. And I thought to myself country music will never be the same... But when one chapter is done a new chapter is written. This kid is going to be big

yes you see they can play perfectly and stay on stage as perfect showmen. they are great.

Your friend is going to win and go super far..

@@ginajust-me2445 i hope so.

@@sr80bassguy Is there an echo in here?

Very well done. They will be signed to a record deal for sure. Great choice to do a original song. I hope they continue doing their own music through the entire competition. Last time I saw a band like this on a competition show was Sawyer Brown. Good luck to your friend and his band in the rest of their careers. God Bless them with talent. Nice to see them using it to their full potential. 😊🙏🏻👍🏻

Absolutely fantastic. A superstar performance. Looking forward to hearing more from Drake. Very surprised he didn't get a golden buzzer Wish Drake and the boys good luck from me Xx

Yes Ha! Country is back!!

@@elaineproffitt1032 the new stuff isn't even tolerable, IMO

Hope they introduce all the band names. They are the all are fantastic

@@blueroses7590 yes!

Agreed!

Not in texas ,okc and memphis 😅

@@raizen4271 Yeah tell us about it, Led.

@@raizen4271and like every other southern state😂

Fr

Truth . His song reminded me of good old fast country music dance music of Garth Brooks kind of song Ain't goin down till the sun comes up and the fast dancing songs of Urban Cowboy 80.s

Love this guy!! So glad he came on AGT and gave us a show. Good Luck❤️

He is very talented! Too bad that people still have to look a certain way to be accepted into music genres of any type but unfortunately the world is still like that!! Good luck Drake

Absolutely 💯%

I'm addicted to his song now. 🎵 🥺💕

Same!

I agree 💯 🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

maybe you ARE a country fan and you didn't know....😳. 😂. 🤗

@@ddunning6207 trust me i am not, i only like old country like johnny cash, because of my dad lol

none of the judges had a golden buzz left but i agree great band

Agreed!

Absolutely, I think judges find theirs performance so hypnotic so they forgot to press the golden buzz

Yess mayn for real

same thought..

You are correct but he's better off without the Golden buzzer because it means that he's able to perform more of his songs in front of 12 million people who watch AGT and potentially buy his recordings.

🤣🤣🤣

This is freaking funny.😅😅😅 A super sad story is almost like a ticket to a golden buzzer.

They are only allowed so many golden buzzers a season. Maybe they are used up ?

He doesn’t need the buzzer

It just broke the top 20 country songs as of 6-12

Me too it sounds like something i heard lol..

Indeed!!!

Me too

I know, THIS TUNE IS HOT MAN!! 🎸🔥 This one is definitely going to find some serious air time, it's got single written alllllll over it. 📻🎵🎶

Dude is already signed to Broken Bow Records

@@MissStateFan good for him, I hope. 😂

@@dascherofficial Like before AGT. He released an album through them in 2021.

@@MissStateFan so this essentially was a PR exercise 🤔

Yes, I am not big on country, and not big on AGT singers in general. I look at AGT for the variety acts. But this guy is really good. By far the best singer on the show this yr, adn with a great band to back him up.. He could win the final.

Yes!!!!!

Probably because he doesn’t have a huge sob story on why he doesn’t get the golden buzzer

Yes2000x

Sadly he doesn’t have a sob story!

Absolutely! We were thinking it was certain. Not a good enough sob story beforehand to get it I guess.

I will bet anyone $10,000 that Drake Milligan is AGT winner. If he doesn't win someone doesn't know music very well.

Hello my lovely fan. Thanks for your endless love and support over the years. I really appreciate and I hope you do not stop ❤️❤️❤️

@@vansebring861 Hello my lovely fan. Thanks for your endless love and support over the years. I really appreciate and I hope you do not stop ❤️❤️❤️

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face....

Unfortunately thats if he can get signed

Yes...well said...AGT was becoming a Concert for the 3 mins!!

💯 agree front row tickets for me please

They are ! Felt like we were watching a country concert rather than AGT !!!!

They are already

They're signed to Stoney Creek Records, which is a sister label of BBR Music from Nashville. There's already one EP out, it includes a studio version of this song!

that song is going to be a hit no doubt, was fun and catchy and it kinda sticks in your head

They will be now. for some reason people will miss a chance even when great.

He reminded me a bit of Luke Bryan

He has albums out. Has previously auditioned for American idol

@@rachelshaub1742 can you show me comments about Xomg pop being in this competition? They're already established in the business. Or is your animosity just towards Drake Milligan.

Reminded me of Dierks Bentley.

@@sooverit3258 same

he sounds like Josh Turner

To hell with those guys like luke bryan, kane brown or fgl, This guy is the real deal.

That's what I was thinking too. I was a little disappointed with the judges reaction. They called the song just "really good". That song was PERFECT, and he performed it PERFECTLY. He's already there. He's a professional just waiting for the right opportunity to come along. I don't think anyone could suggest one thing he could have done better. Flawless!

this guy is bringing back old soul to the charts.

That's ageism.

Yes country music

🏁

Yes!!

Absolutely agree! 💯 %

The shoulder shake...great song..wonderful band..star is born..

Is the drummer Drakes brother or relative?

@@jeraleewood5969 The drummer and guitar player that stands to the right of Drake are brothers.

Got that right!!

Agreed. He has it !

The AGT winner.

@@petebyam9939 yay

Yes. He has the talent and when u have talent it give u confidence. He ll be a star.

He sounds very much like many modern country singers IMO

He needs to do country rap songs too.

He reminded me more of George Strait country

He sounds like Old Country

@@BUDDYSHADOW Lol

Great comment Muriel I loved it. Hi from London, UK 🇬🇧 🙋🏻‍♀️

Doesn’t have a sad sob story so won’t get it lol

I agree 💯

He was 3third place 🥴🙄

yesssss

They where prolly wild because they did remind him of Elvis..

You mean them.

@@23bobjr He don't need no stinkin' band.

Absolutely

I absolutely agree with you Toni, he has the most winning smile and so cute too! London, UK. 🎉

That5 what I said . Tim McGraw.

He IS signed and released an EP last year

@@michaelbell75 Thanks for the update Michael. I appreciate it! I'm pulling for him!

@@millardf452 Lol do you really think they will dropout? Never. Btw have you seen Loren Allred's audition in BGT? She's a professional singer (have sung never enough for the great showman as a playback singer), have a verified Instagram account with million 160K+ followers but she still came on BGT this year. Which was very unfair to the other contestants tbh.

@@Cerennee Don't be jelly

While in Nashville, Milligan also auditioned for a recording contract with BBR Music Group. After initially rejecting him, the label signed him six months later. In July 2021, he released his self-titled debut extended play, which was produced by Tony Brown.[3] On October 22, 2021, he released the Christmas song “Cowgirl for Christmas.”

@CL Hmm? Must be some evil politics of Nashville holding him down.

@Stacey Renee - @4:03 how about that shoulder shimmy shake? That was more impressive than the way Elvis did it when he was young.

Someone ask him why he left idol he said he wasn’t ready he wanted his own songs that’s why he moved to Nashville after American Idol to meet songwriters and get experience

Absolutely 👍🏼 now that's a true artist with real talent. Majority of new performers these days are merely "dance monkeys". These guys don't need the bs . They are already shooting stars 🌠 and can't be stopped! I'd buy their album today!...and I barely listen to country anymore. it's barely country & pretty much sounds all the same🤷🏻‍♀️

@@Nova-bc3kj Yep. RePUBICS. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱🪱

Generally, they give Golden Buzzer to a complete surprise or a great back story. In fact, Drake doesn't need that. This performance alone will change his life. Country music stations are going to get flooded with calls. The song will fly up the charts. He could sign with a bigger label. (With BBR now) And he's a headliner in two weeks. He's been kicking around for years and starred as Elvis in "Sun Records" on CMT in 2017. But this is his breakout song.

Simon hears money

Me too omg

Me too! Love him!

loling me too !

I can see that turning into a new party anthem.

Nailed it

Already has albums out previously auditioned for American idol nothing so far

@@rachelshaub1742 And? You act like Luke Combs didn't audition for the Voice and get turned down. We've seen how that's worked out for him. Most of those shows are looking for stories not just a voice. All it takes is one opportunity to help get your name out there. As someone who ONLY listens to country music I am a now a fan and will be adding their songs to my spotify playlist

You are greyt❤❤❤❤❤

He is signed to BBR Music Group already. This is mainly just to promote his music to grow his audience. He also played Elvis on a CMT show called Sun Records.

Wish you all well!

I got moist.

I agree.

I agree

I soooo agree and hate to brag but the violinist is Joseph Shackleford and he is AMAZING u should see Devil went down to Georgia (and he’s my old violin teacher!!!!!!)

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face....

Totally agree.

The hardest thing for a drummer to do is smile and look pleasant while he’s playing and this guy does it. Love the tunings and mic trims on his Mapex drums.

He has a Masters in classical percussion.

the fill he puts in at 4:02 gives me jeff porcaro vibes, the technique which blends in so cleanly with the music just amazing

I also loved the fiddle player!

Now they will!!!!

I checked him out looks like he’s had a healthy amount of gigs and made some music videos. But I think he’s right, this will help his career blow up!

Nashville has thousands of talented singers who are trying to make it; Maybe this will give him the break he needs to get it.

unfortunately most dont realize an artist must be willing to sell their soul to the devil via the occult globalist record label, regardless of genre: Rock, Country, Rap, etc. Hollywood as well. to be a "star" often costs one's soul. sad but true

A young man travels to Nashville, it was around 1985. He pitched a couple of songs to a record label and they turned him not once, but three times. This young man traveled back home to Oklahoma where he was from. After spending time at home he traveled back to Nashville and was heard at the bluebird Café one night by the same record label executives that turned him down. They immediately wanted him to come back in, and he did the song he was singing when he was discovered was “the Dance”, which is a song that he didn’t even write. They signed the young man to a short term deal, however he immediately took off, the young man was Garth Brooks and the rest is history.

I agree. I'm glad Heidi acknowledged the band and not just him. They were all great!

@@juneberry1982 Right. He was great but the band makes him that way. Hope he recognizes that. Don't let it go to his head

@@jimmyrhino6176 I had the same thought. He is gifted but the band's chemistry together is what I thought made them truly special.

Pretty sure he knows that. It’s just that for tv producers, they need to have a story to tell, and they focus on the frontman.

@@ericbrown1101 We had a singer like that who changed the band entirely 3 times, so it is mostly a about the singers voice.

He already is a star why the hell is he on the show in the first place

Yes you're right

Haven't spent a lot of time in the south I guess. We say ma'am n sir, open doors for ladies...just how we are raised.

i believe so

Agreed 💯⭐🏆

correction: this band

Dude.... That guy is going to be BIGGGGG

it takes one song or one person to completely change everything you thought you knew.

Agreed 💯

Only so many Golden Buzzers and by now they are all gone.

He sure did!!!!!!!!,

Golden buzzers are reserved for sad stories xd

right...like a real life international concert

@@seijuroakashi6564 lmfao so true, this was my favourite act so far

Micheal Jackson used to say the same thing in his bedroom.

@Drake0013 You're going to be reported!

Oh yes a pro

@@Kathryn.Kwhat did he say for you to report him

i agree

Yes! I will definitely agree with you. He is talented him and his band are going places. I love his music and voice

BTS?

He studied and learned from the Best!!!! ELVIS!!

I hope they have time after the next performance to introduce them. They must have had time constraints because generally the judges ask who everyone is.

Hello dear 🖐

He should be signed up...this Man is young with a talent and just likeable...with stage presence.

really? do u know which cmt show?

I don't know...🤣

@@Jonsweets Sun records (2017)

I saw that also.

We had a CMT channel on our tv before but for some reason our provider cancelled the channel , I liked it very much . Country music is so good.

Maybe good thing they didn't. They have to sign a bs contract, runner-ups have very professional chanes to do more

@@raymorris104 You're right. I was pissed when Billy Gilman didn't win The Voice a few years ago but I thought about the same thing then. It's better not to win, but come in 2nd. Most of them are doing great but so far Kelly and Carrie are the crown jewels for Idol. My favorite will always be David Cook, and for The Voice, I adore Girl Named Tom. They don't need any help, they have their own studio and if they want, all 3 can return to college to become doctors as they were doing when their dad became ill with cancer. He passed away in 2017 after all 3 kids had moved back home for family time while they still had him.

He should have won! I honestly don’t think those dancers that won weren’t even that good

@@Melly484 Ray is right. When you win, you sign a contract which is something like being sentenced to prison for a year because what you're doing is not what YOU necessarily want to do. I do have to disagree about the dancers. I am NEVER impressed by dancers or pet acts, but when that group danced the 2nd time, I paid attention, I was really impressed by their precision.

@@survivrs the money they win is paid over installments, not at once

Right? Why didn't he get the golden buzzer? Oh that's right, no sob story.

@@boogersnut Interesting you would say that. I had actually ended my statement with he didn't have a pity party and didn't need one and then I thought, why introduce a negative thought so I erased that part, but you are right. I feel for all who struggle, but I just get so tired of everyone on these talent shows trying to one up the next one with their sad stories. I think most of us have had struggles of one kind or another, but c'mon folks, enough is enough. It becomes a manipulation tactic and has lost it's effectiveness. But I agree with you. However, I'm thinkin' he might not need the pity party. I'm also thinkin', is there another Col Parker out there?

wow so you guys think this is first person who had talent on this show maybe they did'nt get the buzzer because there was nothing that made you say ow my no point in the song where we got to see the range of his voice or the band go crazy. that's the problem with original music. you cant really judge it off anything unless you put on a top notch show an this was good very good but no golden buzzer. if they are that good as you guys say then why havent they been signed yet. also the fact that the guy came out by himself plus kept saying i i i even backstage after they got the 4 yes's he kept saying i i i an not we

@@bernardochavis4230 Drake & the Band already have a record deal. The point of auditioning is getting your name out there and AGT provides that platform. The judges have various reasons for not giving someone the Golden Buzzer. Like Simon was going to give the 12 year old and her poodles the Golden buzzer & changed his mind. I'm not sure if he told her or if someone overheard him saying that he was going to give it to her but changed his mind.

​@@bernardochavis4230 Actually they have been signed. This particular song now that it got some exposure is in the top 20 on several charts just from that one shot. It's all about exposure if you're good in this business. No matter how good you are, if no one knows it, it goes nowhere. But that was his point for being on the show. At least he was honest about it. And yes, there have at times been some good ones on AGT, but I actually had gotten so bored with it I quit watching about 2 years ago. Just happened across this on youtube or would not have seen it this time. And there was a little girl on this particular show with him that blew the doors off. So he's going to have some competition. But because of the exposure, if you're good, you can win without winning. I would even argue you might be better off not winning and not be controlled by them afterwards. Very few go on to be stars that win these shows tho some do, because the management does not tailor themselves to the winner since they already have so many artists that are already there so to speak. Col Parker only managed one act once he found Elvis. But Elvis was all he needed to make a fortune. Buy yes, he's been around the block a time or two already. That's why he's so polished. By the way, He played Elvis in the Sun Records show that was on one of the cable channels a couple of years ago. But cable shows don't offer near the exposure AGT does. But to his credit he doesn't try to be Elvis or sound like him. That would not work because we already had the real thing. We don't need another one and he's smart enough to know that. But yes, I am very impressed with his whole package from what I see so far not to mention his band is good. Will he win? Who knows, but the world will know him before this is over. Something else you learn in this business, if you write songs you are WAY ahead of the game. And he writes songs. It takes a lot of nerve to audition with an original. Not only did he do that, he just blew most people over with it. I'm sure some won't like him, but a lot more will. That "ain't" easy to do!

Win or loose, he still wins. He is better off NOT winning. He is not tied up to a contract. What he achieved was a WORLDWIDE FREE ADVERTISEMENT worth millions of dollars.

@@YYC403NOYP exactly he (they) will never show up for the finals

@Steven Faults. Me too, lol. Absolutely love this young man!

I say he wins or will finish second

I think he'll get it in the judge cuts

Yes I agree he’s very cute I feel the CMA awards should have an award for cutest male country singer and cutest female country singer. Drake would win the male country one for his looks and voice

Tell Joseph he has a serious Matt Damon thing going on.

@@carolynbachand9416 yes totally!

Settle your wife down....lol

@@carolynbachand9416 HA! I just watched and said the same thing out loud. 🤣 Whole band did a fantastic job. If they ever need a doghouse bass for a specific song, tell them to FIND JOE FICK. He's in Nashvegas too and is crazy with that bass. He puts on a great show and has played for Carry Underwood at the CMAs before. Pretty sure it was her. He was also the guy who played the bass player in Elvis' band in "I Walk the Line". Great guy. Know him from his days playing on Beale at Elvis Presley's Memphis, a club on Beale St. when he was with a rockabilly trio called "The Dempseys" years ago. Haven't seen him in 20+ years, but family keeps tabs.

I love the Fiddler, he looks like a great guy

Saw this guy at C2C in Glasgow. He’s pretty good.
