Speaker 1: Everybody. How you doing, pal, I'm wonderful.

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: How are y'all?

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: We're super good.

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: Now that the world knows that you're going to Hollywood

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: and you can talk about it in the real world,

19
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: that must be a relief.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like a I off my shoulders. The secret

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: is out.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: So you grew up in Did you grow up in Texas?

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: Is that right?

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: Yes? Sorr idea.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: I grew up in Texas And what was life like

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: growing up there? Reagan? In Texas?

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: For you? Well, it's the wild West, so you know,

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: it's crazy, it's a lot of fun. But I had

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: a great experience growing up. We just had a lot

30
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: of fun. Texas is kind of its own thing. You know,

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: it's not really the South, it's not really the West.

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: So we have a variety of cultures of just different people.

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: And I grew up around a lot of simple country people,

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: so I'm sure that I was very wild in their

35
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: minds growing up.

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: So I had a play back some of your audition

37
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 2: in front of Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie and Luke Bryan,

38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: and one of the things they said to you was

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: so interesting. We'll get to that in a second, because

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: it's been said to at least one of us here

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: on this show before, not by them, but by other people.

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: But let me play some of Reagan millsinging on Idol

43
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: last night.

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: You know, I was still a child. I didn't in

45
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 4: the chest too see the world a man. I had

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: no time to choose Katie Goleazy oh Me.

47
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: He is singing Adella, a song we all know so well.

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: Was that hard for you? Was that difficult?

49
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: Well? You know, I really tried to sock myself up

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 3: when I went into there because I didn't want to.

51
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: I thought, if I go in there acting like they're

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: big celebrities, I'll be a nervous wreck and I won't

53
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: be able to do it. So I tried to relate

54
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: to them like I try to think about them like

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: they're my family, Like they're my cousins or my uncles

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: and my aunt. So I could be calling up to

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: sing for the own, but it was nerve wracking. It

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: was like, oh my goodness, you got legendary Katie and

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: legendary Lionel and Luke. You're like, oh my god, this

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 3: is what am I gonna do? So I just was like, okay,

61
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: focus and do what you came to do.

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: And they who said it? Who said the comment about grit?

63
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: Who was that that?

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: I think it was Luke that said that first. I

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: think it was Luke or it was either Luke or

66
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: Lionel that were like, you just need a little bit

67
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: more grit, And I was like, grit, yes.

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Grit, Like I think I know I've been told I

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: have no grit. You know, I am vanilla and I

70
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: don't sing, but just in general, not a lot of grit.

71
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a gritty show. But when

72
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: someone says that, you think, okay, wait, wait, what is that?

73
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

74
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: And I'm actually I'm kind of happy I don't have

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: grit because it's be too much pressure. But you were

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: there and they asked for like five percent more grit,

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: and by the way, you won them over or three

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: of them. But when they said that to you, what

79
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: did you feel? What did you think? What did it

80
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: mean to you to have a little more grit?

81
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: I felt like, give me about five seconds and I

82
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: will let Lucy show you more grit. And they did

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: so it felt good, but I knew that what they

84
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: were talking about they wanted a little more. I was

85
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: playing it real soft and they wanted me to be

86
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: a little more hard. Course, I was like, okay, just

87
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: let y'all quit talking and let me sing and I'll

88
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: show you.

89
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: I think we have.

90
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 5: That is my singing, is my sassyre it is?

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: That's what.

92
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Wo wo.

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:41,120
