I just discovered Kenedi today. Watching the performances, learning the story. I applaud your courage. Stay true to yourself. You'll get to wherever you are supposed to go.
@davidcole2337 Her career will likely be much more successful because she dropped out of American Idol. Idol winners get locked into contracts where they have little control over the music they release and even their image. The demographics of Idol viewers doesn't accurately reflect the demographics of the general music listening population. As result, the people who watch Idol tend to have different tastes in music than what is considered popular more broadly. Added to that is the negative stigma associated with artists who compete on Idol. As there are a lot more people who don't watch Idol than those who do, and the music released by Idol contestants tends to pander to the Idol viewing public rather than the broader population, the success of Idol contestants ends up being quite limited compared to the success of artists who go the more traditional route of releasing music. There's a reason that only a handful of Idol contestants, out of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of extremely talented individuals, are household names and have truly successful careers.
@badfish420 that is not true at all. But it’s your story and you can tell it how you want. She should have either finished or came back. Her 29k subs would be much closer to 500k+. The music industry today is not the industry of even 4 years ago. It really only comes down to views, streams , brand awareness, popularity etc. they all correlate together and breed success.
@@badfish420 I get what you mean, and you have very strong points, but on the other hand...breaking into the music biz is hard for anybody, period. AI winner or not, a huge platform like Idol where you are literally watched by millions of people week in and week out is a priceless tool to develop a following, brand awareness, and buzz. I truly hope Kenedi makes it because my God she is the whole package: great musical instincts, sharp songwriting skills, the voice of an angel, and yes, movie-star looks (but in a very wholesome, accessible, likable way). If she plays her cards right, and with lots of luck, she could become a major star.
Whoa! That is really incredible! Voice gorgeous. Face gorgeous. And it's a fantastic debut song. That deserves to be Billboard #1. Who needs American Idol when you can write, direct, sing, and look like that?
Kenedi, you are the definition of talented and are a direct reflection of what the music industry was designed for! Keep your flame alive! Sending love 💙
I was thinking the same thing, good for her! Most people don't know but when you sign and sell your soul, you're instantly murdered, and a clone puppet put in your place. Those are the terms ;)
Congratulations Kenedi on an excellent video!! Oh so good to see you again! It's been a while Kenedi! That was fantastic sweetie! You are a natural born Star, my friend! This video song etc was spot on! I wouldn't be surprised if offers start flooding in to you! God Bless you Kenedi! Stay as pure as you can, and remember The Lord King Jesus!❤😊🎶🎶🎶🕊🌹🕊🌹He loves you❤
This is absolutely 100 percent genuine and brilliant Kenedi! You need to do this with no strings attached and prove a point to the entire music industry because you have the talent to do so.
Kenedi, this is a great start after your American Idol days... you have a huge fanbase, and unreal performance talents, and not just for pop music. Bring it on, rising star!!!
Kennedy you are world class and you know it! We all know you are a star! Its great your directing your own stuff, even with 47k please keep doing it :)) Slowly but surely loyal fans (like me) will come your way the tone of your voice, your style, your beauty... Im just in love with everything about you. I hope you keep producing and having fun while doing it.
So glad she is singing with more control rather than making everything an incredible range to showcase her talent with each line of the song. This was actually a better performance. She is very talented.
OMG Amazing Omg. Finally, what I had been waiting for for 2 years appeared. The song is truly a firecracker. Keep it up. Go forward, we want more, Honey :*:* You are wonderful
THE TALENT 👁️👁️
💓💓💓

@@kenedianderson3661 *We all Love you but what happened? It's been 3 years and that's it? Smh. Superstar potential wasting away. Good luck.*
SHES COMING
She’s been here for a while if ya know ya know hope American idol owners don’t black ball her
I just discovered Kenedi today. Watching the performances, learning the story. I applaud your courage. Stay true to yourself. You'll get to wherever you are supposed to go.
I was so disappointed when she left American Idol but I knew she would come back one day! Beautiful Talent and its just the beginning!
Think it was a mistake for her to have left early. She needed more Screen Time and build a bigger fan base..

Kenicats ASSEMBLE!!!!!!! 😻😻😻
She left American Idol to avoid selling her soul.
I was thinking the same thing, good for her! Most people don't know but when you sign and sell your soul, you're instantly murdered, and a clone puppet put in your place. Those are the terms ;)
And what did leaving get her exactly? Nothing!
@@bonnie7732 not having to sell her soul
Bingo and she has hinted about it
@@OneChanceInAMillion right.... cause thats what jennifer hudson, carrie underwood, kelly clarkson and dozens of other mega stars did. 🤣
