Did you really think they’d let the son of a Backstreet Boy<\/strong> try out for American Ido<\/em>l and not tell him he’s going to Hollywood?<\/p>\n

When the new season of Idol<\/em> premiered Sunday on ABC, one of the hopefuls<\/strong><\/a> was Baylee Littrell<\/strong>, son of Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his audition, Baylee sang an original song called “Waiting on Myself to Die,” and the judges approved. “You’re really good,” said Carrie Underwood<\/strong>. “Like, you’re really good. I loved the song.” She also praised him because he “went there emotionally,” and added, “I think you could go very, very far in this competition.”<\/p>\n

Baylee then brought dad Brian out to sing harmony with him.\u00a0 All three judges gave him a “yes,” with Carrie adding, “If there was a better word for yes, I’d use it.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m gonna cry,” said Brian. “I’m cryin’!”<\/p>\n

It’s not like Baylee doesn’t have previous experience performing. He’s had his own music career for awhile now: He released his first album,\u00a0770-Country<\/em>, in 2019, and even opened for the Boys during their DNA tour that year.<\/p>\n

While Baylee makes his way to Hollywood, Brian and the Boys will be headlining the Sphere in Las Vegas this summer.<\/p>\n
