One fan said, “He sounds that good on the street — imagine him on a real stage!” Another added, “People walk by without realizing they’re hearing a future star.” Viewers also pointed out his dedication, noting that he performs on Bourbon Street every weekend, rain or shine.
Even Jelly Roll reposted the viral clip, amplifying the buzz around the young street performer. Many believe this could be Blue’s ticket to the big stage — a fitting reward for years of persistence and raw passion.
From Street Performer to ‘America’s Got Talent’ Star
Jourdan Blue’s viral moment comes just weeks after his run on America’s Got Talent 2025, where he finished in third place during the Season 20 finale.
Blue first caught national attention when Howie Mandel hit the Golden Buzzer for his audition of “Breakeven” by The Script, sending him straight to the Quarterfinals. Despite battling food poisoning during that round, Blue delivered a stunning performance of “Biblical” by Calum Scott, earning America’s votes to move forward.
In the Semifinals, he performed “Stargazing” by Myles Smith, and later surprised everyone in the Finals with a bold rendition of “Golden” from K-Pop Demon Hunters. His voice, emotional delivery, and humility won over the judges and fans alike.
Although he didn’t win the title, finishing third, his journey from performing on the streets of New Orleans to standing under the bright lights of AGT proved his resilience and undeniable talent.
A Collaboration Fans Are Begging For
With Jelly Roll now expressing interest in bringing him on stage, fans are eagerly anticipating what could become one of the most heartfelt collaborations of the year.
As one supporter perfectly put it:
“Jourdan sings with the kind of soul you can’t fake — Jelly Roll sees that, and the world does too.”
If this duet happens, it won’t just be a viral dream — it’ll be a powerful reminder of how raw street talent can rise to the biggest stages in the world.
