@@leefbucks Traffic collision Death. Spence was killed in a car crash on Interstate 24 near Chattanooga on October 11, 2022, at 23 years old. His death was reported by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. According to WSB-TV in Atlanta, he was driving a Jeep Cherokee when he veered off I-24 at around 4:00PM ET.
I just seen this video on UA-cam and I was feeling down and depressed and I heard you sing this song I looked you up on my phone 🤳 you have such a beautiful voice and spirit keep singing you lifted my spirit thank you honey 😊
"It's going to take hard work, but I feel like I can do it" I love that response! Maybe he does know he's good but he's not going in there acting like he owns the place. He knows no matter how good you are, it is HARD in the music industry.
i love that moment when katie says “you know you sing good.” and he says thank you she tells it back and he stands humbly in silence. Man Willie you were a good soul
Hey Willie Spence is on a show like American idol I knew about him for years his most famous cover is diamonds he has a huge chance to win the whole competition
I've had to revisit this video many times, because I find his version of Diamonds very impressive. The way his voice filled the air left me in a trance, I have goosebumps all over.
I've listened to this version by Willie Spence over and over since he auditioned for American Idol, and no other version made any sense anymore. His voice quality, his phrasing, tone....etc everything hits home for me. Even after youve gone, your voice lives on in our hearts and mind. Youre greatly missed ❤
I’m sad I found out a year ago that he passed away. I can literally listen to this man in the style of singing for the rest of my life every day so emotional so anointed so amazing I’m sad to hear he passed.
Best audition ever on this show. I knew willie before he was on this show. Truly a angel. I come back and watch this cause he’s truly amazing. You are missed willie 🙏🏼☹️
I continuously watch this American Idol season just to hear this young man sing. That grammy definitely was waiting on him. He's singing with the angels now. RIP Willie! And thank you for blessing us with your beautiful gift 🥹
I miss Willie so much!!😢 his voice was changing the world, a beautiful life taken so soon. They say the great die young. What a beautiful angel god has gained.
The sky opens up and the sun shined when he sang. I saw myself walking down an isle getting married. His voice sound like he had instruments playing from his vocal cords. It's beautiful. I listen to this audition atleast 5 tines per day.
1:59 he does the craziest run I think I’ve ever heard. Absolutely perfect pitch/control/and power. And then he had runs after that we’re crazy as well. This is one of the top end vocal performances ever. Belongs next to Whitney’s I will always love you
Everytime i watch willie he reminds me of my cousin who had passed to a heart failure, he also had weight probs but he had a voice like this and it always tears me up when they both sing...i guess both their voices was god sent beautiful people in and out r.i.p willie and my lil couisn dk
I’m rooting for you Willie! Give it your best, you have what it takes to be the next American Idol. Your courage to want better is inspiring. Make your dream a reality! Get that Grammy!
Love his audition and come back. I don’t think people realize how good he is with his natural voice unlike some celebs with their concerts it’s crazy!! RIP ❤
Must have watched this 100+ times and it still gives me chills….look of the faces on Lionel and the other judges…they have to laugh bc they know he’s so good
Yessssss Lionel. He's always been so lovely, helpful, and super talented his entire career. If younger people don't know all about him, please look up a documentary or something. He's lovely and I love how open with his emotions he is on this show. :)
What an outstanding performance. Not only was he good from a technical standpoint but he has such nice tone and pitch and he drew me right in. I got goosebumps. I felt that performance too. He just seems so real. Amazing.
I am from copperas cove Texas and I watch American idol and Willie has the most talent I have ever seen I'm a country listener but whatever song Willie will sing I will listen to you or voting for you really make America proud you have a very very good talent and a very good voice copperas cove Texas is voting for you my name is Wayne Rourke is from copperas cove texas I pray to God you win this American idol
Just found this guy onto tiktok for the first time. Only to find out he passed away at only 23 years of age. What a beautiful voice that gives me chills. That amazing of a voice and vocals without any audio or auto tune help. What a beautiful soul and an amazing and beautiful voice. May he rest in peace and never be forgotten

At least he made an impact before he left us. Powerful voice ❤
To this day!
He got his wish, his voice has touched the world just not in the way he could have seen at the time
His golden voice is now embracing Heaven. RiP. Thanks for your gift.
Yes
So in heaven do you have all your positive attributes, and none of your negative? Honestly asking?
What’s the proof of that.
You don't go to heaven when you die you go to sleep and wait for God to wake you up for judgement.

In tears, the best audition ever. Willie Spence and Ian Tongi both are blessings.
