Before his performance, Baylee talked about the influence of his father on his love for music. “Following in my father’s footsteps is scary because his career, to me, is one of the most extraordinary in the history of music. No one can compare to it,” confessed the young artist.
He also remembered his first experience on stage when he was just eight years old and opened a Backstreet Boys concert. “I left the stage and when the guys started playing, the screams and lights went out. I was mesmerized.” One of the most emotional moments of the night occurred when the judges invited Brian Littrell to join his son on stage.
Together, they interpreted the chorus of Baylee’s original song, demonstrating the chemistry and talent they share. “If your father, a superstar singer, came here, I think for anyone else, he would make you look bad,” commented Carrie Underwood. “But that didn’t happen. You were there with him. You didn’t pale, you didn’t back down. You thought, ‘This is my moment’.”
