I applaud one's whose values are shown through their choices. And aren't what the majority of one's agree or do. Also the actions of doing so without words. Brings out the true value .

She was informed of the contracts and realized she would just become a slave. Who was the last star they launched in the last 5 yrs ? 10 yrs? Without searching you cant name anyone relevant. The most recent and relavant i could remember was "benson boone" who also decided to leave the competition early and had a hit "ghost town". Lastly all the winners in the recent years were disappointing. You were expecting somebody else to win. Then, that average looking with average talent country singer wins the show AGAIN.
@@fu6555 The other night Luke presented Chayce Beckham with a plaque for song 23 being certified gold, and he also has a song in the country top 40 right now. Sounds kind of successful, and he's making a living doing what he likes to do.
@@justme307 gold for a song that was released more than a year ago. Pretty mediocre success for an american idol winner compared to benson boone who left the show early dont you think?
Her faith and morals were higher than Hollywood, that’s my guess. She’s an unbelievably beautiful, talented girl. God will lead her in the right direction.
I will paste the comment I just wrote in the video of her withdrawal, for us to marvel at different ways to know the same thing: "Sounds like she refused to "understand" the actual asset of a woman to open doors in that business is sexual favors. That's why the most promoted are either whores or gay "men"."
Some people say she was too good for the show but I'll bet leaving the way she did hurt her for future endeavors with other record labels. There are thousands of amazing singers that you never hear of because unfortunately the music industry is a business first. I have a feeling that family pressures have something to do with her not courting the industry. Even with the contract conditions of American Idol if she would have stayed and won she would probably be a big star now. That was her foot in the door.
Then again, you can't go wrong with letting her finish growing up w/ her family. She's got time and certainly enough talent. Seems like when they grow up too quick in that Industry- a lot can go wrong and being a superstar.... sometimes isn't all that super. It's definitely not everything.
@@miraclehearts2 That is true but she auditioned for the show. I'm pretty sure American Idol didn't search her out and probably had no idea who she was before hand. American Idol has been around for a long time and I bet they are pretty up front of what the deal is when people audition and progress enough to finally get on the show. If she wanted to stay home and finish growing up with her family then why go through the considerable effort it takes to audition?
Actually, American Idol does scout for talent- some of the contestants have said so in their interviews. They find hopefuls on social media platforms & invite them to audition. I don't know if that's the case for her & I do understand what you are saying. But people can also change their minds too. Might not have been what it appeared to be & the show doesn't seem to have a shortage of contestants waiting to take their spot!
@@miraclehearts2 True but none with her talent. Many people had her winning the show by the time she left. Noah Thompson ended up winning. Go listen to any of his performances and then Kenedi's. Nothing is 100% but it's a good bet she would have been the next American Idol. I just watched her audition and nothing was mentioned about them scouting her.
@@tomearly111 I can give you that- she is amazing. I watched her audition several times, she was a stand out. Yes, it's too bad- but hopefully she can still utilize her talent!
OHHHHH>>>>>... I got it.... SHE DID NOT LIKE HER AMERICAN IDOL CONTRACT!!! That is fair... so many contestants had issues with that slavery contract, well done then. 👏👏👏
with age she will find out, the world out there traps us in many ways, contracts can be broken or negotiated, most Am. Idols who break out would NEVER have gotten anywhere had they not been on the show
The term 'conventionally good looks' is a massive understatement. This is clearly written by someone that is incredibly jealous of her natural beauty. There is nothing conventional about her looks, she is about as perfect possible, which is highly unconventional, not to mention quite rare. Combine that with a musical talent and voice that is probably equally as rare, a pretty outgoing and (from what we've seen) a quite lovable personality and you have someone that is probably a bit too good for the show. I hope she gets the opportunity to make it on her own terms, instead of getting used by other people to make money for them, as what happened to the early part of Kelly Clarksons career.
I don't understand why she dropped out when everyone thought she had a potential to win. It was speculated that she had a record deal already. But 2 years after her AI season was over, she didn't do much for her music career!!!! Not even doing modeling gig!!!!!!!!!
Can we just be real? Her religion simply doesn’t resonate with the American Idol, and the fame and life , what comes after that. Her true talent has to serve God, and on the proper way. I don’t think there’s much more mystery here to discover… but if there’s anything else, we’ll see. All the best, happiness, health and success to her!!! Unbelievably talented and beautiful human!!! I’m sure she is in this world, to spread joy, but I hope she will be happy herself doing it, too! 🫶🫶🫶
Iam Tongi, this year's AI winner, is also active LDS. I met him when he sang at a couple of our Single Adults firesides. Very sweet kid. I hope he stays true to the faith and doesn't let Hollywood ruin him.
@@SnowboardJedi Where is she now? lol. She just overstyles her singing. She has a good voice but that's not a guarantee that she will succeed. Kelly Clarkson is also too good for the show but ACCEPT THE FACT that these contestants need AI to be discovered.
She’s really not that good. Her audition was shouty. Listen to it with headphones. You’ll want to turn it down when she starts with the “na na na na with the lights out”
@@rhiannonrose4841 I don't agree with either of you! The amount of truth you know about our church would fit on the head of a pin. Go read stuff published by the church about our doctrine, and then pray about it. The reason the Houghs are not active in the church is not because they have decided to go to another church. They don't stick to the moral standards of the church such as no premarital sex.
I can't believe this video is 13 min long when you can just say in 10s wtf is she doing! Idc about the whole history of the damn show, I just wanted to know if she succeeded or not...
@Skidottle oh so please can you tell her something for me ? Can you tell her that she's amazing and shouldn't be ashamed of showing the gifts God gave her ? And that as soon as she would feel ready to, she would rejoice the heart of our Lord by singing for his children ? Even if the words are not christian, I believe that music blesses people when it's sang with all your heart and love like she does. Thank you so much. And sorry for my english (I'm french, a professional singer to, and christian also). Be blessed !
While it important to avoid Hollywood and all it's traps, including "American Idol" it's also important to recognize when you have been conditioned by a well organized Cult. I hope she is able to gain her own identity when discovering the one imposed on her from a very young age.
@@HeyMichaelLeo Yours is willful ignorance. The amount of stuff you think you know is probably mostly false. The amount of stuff you know about the church that is actually truth would probably fit on the head of a pin.
By staying away from the elite snakes, she saves here soul. The video did give the reason, she said it herself, "don't I deserve no strings attach", I get it. There is something greater than fame, a relationship with Christ. ❤
record deal if its true can wait later cuz she is surely talented but getting through to later stage means she would get more exposure through AI to gain more fans..sadly she didn't
They tried giving her a slave deal. Did you hear what Katy Perry said? I wanna be your producer your this your that the 3 judges would’ve used all there power to make her famous and I bet if she won the competition, she couldn’t get out of the deal so she drop out and she will be one of them what of story’s
She needs to leave the LDS world in order to become the star she could be. It's sad that she gave up. I have a feeling it was influenced by the church.
The Church is not oppressing her. If you knew very much about the church, you would know that. The lead singer of Neon Trees is LDS, as are the Piano Guys, Alex Pacheco, the lead singer of The Killers, the lead singer of Imagine Dragons, and many others. Most of them active LDS members.
Remember, when you're on any of these contest and win you're bound to the agreement you sign at the beginning. By leaving early she probably voided those agreements so as to go elsewhere. So people shouldn't be to hard on her. These shows control you and she didn't want that.
There was another girl who quit, during Hollywood week, a few years back, can't remember her name. Also Kennycat is from Katy Perry, she said that at Kenedi's audition.
Well then, call over 18 million of us crazy, then. You really don't know a lot about the church, except probably a lot of falsehoods mixed with a tiny amount of truth.
Mormon. That sums it up. No offense, but Amish isn't far behind. Umbilical cord needs to be cut before she makes it big. Makes me sad women are held to certain sub standards in that faith. Good in some aspects, but hell in others. Dad needs to set his daughter free and be 10x the man he is. He's holding her back from the world, and what she can give to others.
As a woman in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the same faith as Kenedi, I really hope people reading this can know that women in our faith are not held to sub standards. Yes, there may be some cultural aspects of this (depending where you live) but as far as the faith itself goes, please know, the sky's the limit 🌠 That includes, however, a belief that being a successful and famous musician is not the highest goal in life. Women in my faith are taught to have the strength and courage to make difficult decisions for themselves, to respect personal autonomy, and to have love for God, ourselves and others not judgement. Cheers ☺️

None of the folks who left the show, for whatever the reason, have had lasting success.
so true, because either they weren't as talented as they thought, or the music biz won't work with people who don't compromise and become team players

What's meaning of your name's kenedi
😻
Maybe too much religion in her life...
yup
Sounds like her Family wanted her Home.
She definitely passed bc of her religion. Mormon. They probably approached her parents.
She had a baby off the show, which she put up for adoption. She's lost the baby weight now, which is why she has started to be more visible.
And you got this crazy rumour from where?
Now that does make sense
Probably was going to be cut off.

She's beautiful but she should have stayed on Idol and the professional voice coaches.
i love your comment pretty is same way you look beautiful let get to know more ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️💋💋
There are such things as very good private singing coaches.
Theyre mormons!! So maje your own conclusion
Now she's a "coulda been" nobody.

Thanks for the chuckle.

Nope, I don't think so and most likely never will.
I heard she’s really just AI. A clone of Margo Robby
She gave away a pet .. take a hike Kennedi .. you’re not that good anyway.
You gotta point there

Why wouldn't she?
She should have never ever quit American Idol, it's the Cult for sure, that kept her out, Imo.
