Emma Stout

An old car battery was the only power source Jourdan Blue used to build a following of tens of thousands on the streets of New Orleans. He went from those noisy sidewalks to a private event in Orlando where he left viewers in sheer disbelief. The room went completely silent as he prepared to share his gift. He delivered a truly heart-wrenching performance of the song “Breakeven”.

The energy in the room changed the moment he hit the first note. His voice sounded like a perfect mix of country, soul and rock that hit everyone right in the heart. He did not just sing the words; he really felt them. You could tell he has lived through hard times but came out stronger. The crowd was left completely breathless by the end.

People in the crowd could not believe what they just heard. One fan said they could watch him over and over again without ever getting bored. Another person felt his voice filled their heart with joy and love. A viewer even said he sang the song better than the original artist. They promised to return year after year just to hear him sing.

This private show in Orlando was intimate and special, but it was not his first time stopping a crowd in their tracks. That quiet room proved he is a star, yet the world first fell in love with him on a much bigger stage. Before he stunned that small crowd, he walked onto a massive platform to face some very tough judges. That huge moment changed his life forever.
