After performing a smokey rendition of “Stone” by Whiskey Myers on Sunday’s episode, judge Luke Bryan asked Louis why he was auditioning for the reality singing competition. Louis went on to tell the judges he’s a survivor of the 2018 Santa Fe High School mass shooting, and that he was in an art classroom when the shooter “made his way” in. “I lost a lot of friends,” Louis said.
” When judge Lionel Richie said that a tragedy like this has been tolerated for “too long” and that it’s become “the norm” now, Perry added that “we’ve got to change and I hope you can just lead. Can you do me that favor?” “For myself, for my school, for you – you got it,” Louis told Perry. When the time came for the judges to vote on Louis’s audition, it was an easy yes from all three of them. Choking up, Bryan’s voice cracked as he told the contestant, “You’re perfect.

A used mattress salesman, now there's a tough job.
I saw this young man do his audition. I cried. I cried & was so proud of Katy Perry for going off on politicians as she did .The politicians must come together across the isle to stop gun violence once and for all. This fellow watched 8 classmates and 2 teachers die! Dammit man!
had to add that he was a school shooting survivor.
