Different jobs different requirements. Pretty sure they won't mind his video if he were something that isn't so high profile. American Idol is a brand just like Disney where they won't let the brand be tarnished.
@@ironcity4392 This is actually doing the opposite. Tarnishing it would be to leave him and find out there was more than just a video. Risk management.

@@tyes77 Disney has tarnished their image when it comes to falling into woke media. Look at their failed reboot of Star Wars. They tried to add a woke Agenda to it and completely ruined the reboots.

@@jimmydcap He took a hit on a vape or something that something that someone gave him when he was out. No alcohol, no intent, maybe not even an illegal drug. Wait for test results before judgement.
Sucks I’m only hearing this song for the first time only because of his shortcomings …… mannnnn he was going places that song was written like a true professional. It’s definitely a sad situation for both parties involved….
I didnt see hate in his eyes when he was looking at Mr Richie. No racist inclinations. He was 12 when that picture was taken. Boys and girls do stupid things at that age and shouldnt pay for it the rest of his life for a picture.
After seeing the news today. Had to come check this kid out. Boy he sure is good. Just hate the situation he has got himself into now. Prayer for you young man, and everyone involved in the accident today.
I thought the same thing. It is usually a very hard & sad lesson learned when bad things happen, especially when it was avoidable. For every action there is a reaction. It takes a split second for something to change your life's direction. So always take a moment to breathe.
He left the show because of a picture from 4 years ago. He has a great voice but didn't want to offend black people. What about the other people of color that don't care about the past?
@@r.p.1532 you hit the nail on the head. Cancel culture is so ridiculous. People will dig up shit from years ago and throw it in your face as if personal growth doesn’t exist.
Caleb PLEASE make a come back! Dying to hear more music from you! You've got everything it takes to do this, keep your true people in your corner and keep your head high. Hopefully more music coming soon!!
From a country boy to another and now I'm getting ready to turn 41 and omg... Made so much sense. I would listen to this young mans songs for decades and even play one of his songs at my funeral. Got me crying now. He's awesome and speaks so much truth being so young... Awesome 💯
@@arisuaozora you can check inside edition but a video of him surfaced when he was 12 years old. and the video is said to be connected to a racist group.

Stay strong Caleb and keep writing and recording. You have superstar talent in both. Don't let the haters get you down. Show us all who you really are. Write a song about who you really are.
tyes77 At no time was Caleb effing racist. The haters are basing this on NOTHING that Caleb himself did. How many times have you been somewhere public and ended up in a picture with someone else? Or video? Now if Caleb had of been the one with the white headgear on that would be different.

WOW dude I love country music but Like Katy stated you have a gift embrace it honey cuz that song is of a LEGEND ALRIGHT love it and I can relate to that song honey you rock that stage....Love the part running around to make money enough to pay bills that is a song for this Covid time. Honey finish that song baby boy thank you cuz u made me 😭😭😭😭. Lov u...God bless you so much. Your so special for real Katy did say the thruth.

This Kid is amazing. I had to rewind his audition. Of all the years I been watching Idol, I have only done that with a select few. I am rooting for him to win it all. Went out an looked for other songs by him.
Don't let the accident keep you down buddy, im rooting for you, Jelly Roll done it so can you, i'll pray for you so hopefully one day i can play that song nowhere loud af boi

He has and it’s AMAZING

He could probably use the bail money about now.😒
Pos gonna be in prison🤣🤣
hard when he’s in prison now ran over a man up the road other day
the smile from judge never fades
He’s the one!! He’s a good singer!
He is he is a AWESOME singer!
and now he is dropping out of the show
And now he killed a man
@@HipixOFFICIAL 😬😬
Damm
He seems to have love in his heart. God bless this person.
He killed someone in a DUI accident 2 years ago
That country charm “yes m’am” ❤
He just threw his whole life away so young and so sad. He definitely has a voice
He will be singing in prison for the next 20 years. So very sad. DUI manslaughter carries a heavy prison term.

does he still warm your heart now?
I CANT BELIEVE HE IS 16, I GET GOOSEBUMPS, JUST HEARING HIS VOICE, WOW
Unfortunately he just got arrested recently as well
He’s a great singer and a storyteller as a songwriter and a guitar player

Well he wanted to be an outlaw, i dont know why anyone is surprised.
wasn’t an accident he got drunk and killed a poor person
