was a machine gunner in iraq in a little town called ramadi and i got blown up um i joined the marine corps right out of high school both my parents are immigrants and this country is great and people need to stand up and fight for it october 31st 2004 i was only in iraq for two months we passed a little roundabout as we drove by it it went boom all i remember is waking up in the humvee with smoke all around me my ears ringing i honestly don't remember a whole lot of pain even though my leg was clearly broken in half i just remember i woke up a week later in bethesda maryland and i said when can i get back to my marines the doctor and he goes sir you're going home having music as as a tool for my recovery i was able to put down and let go of a lot of pain it kept me going it kept me alive it's life it is who i am i'm gonna get more courageous than that we love the service that you've given this country we love what you're doing now with wounded warrior tell me a little bit about what you're gonna do today you're gonna sing a song yes i'm gonna be singing uh a cover song called ain't no sunshine by bill withers well best of luck to you thank you [Music] anytime [Music] [Applause] [Music] anytime she goes away thank you sal sal you are really really good you really are have you been playing music a long time tell me about your music i've been singing since i could speak all i

millions of people sitting at home tonight watching you i just i'm i'm truly moved i know this audience in this room was moved i know the people in america are moved mel i have to say you are very very inspirational thank you you can sing and you can really sing you're thrown on your voice your graspiness and raspiness it was like i want to hear some more of that heidi your singing i think is beautiful you sing with a lot of feelings and a lot of passion and i love your smile i thought you were great thank you when someone comes out here you know and tells a story like you did when you were telling your story i i got very emotional because a young guy like yourself uh to sacrifice his leg to give to his country how can you not be moved by that it becomes difficult howard yes i would uh put you through for sure heidi yes i want to hear you again mel yes you have four yeses thank you so much we have two big passions serving our country but the other singing [Music] our audition was totally new for all of us we've never done anything like this before [Music] the only downside was that we got a buzzer from howie i'll be totally honest with you it bored me we know we have to impress all the judges tonight especially howie we cannot be boring our big dream is to serve america but tonight we're going to entertain them first whoa that was aggressive i remember these guys [Music] welcome back thank you mr kell so let me ask you a question because i really enjoyed the first audition but there was part of me that was thinking was this sort of like a dare honestly yes thank you because when i remember saying yes to you and there was a kind of look on your face like oh my god they've given us a yes so we've got to do it again that has been our journey as a group yes but are you actually serious now about competing in the show and oh yes definitely i don't want to use the word desperate but there probably isn't very much we wouldn't do to go to the next round i'll be honest i don't know what the song is i like the surprise so good luck thank you so much [Applause] [Music] hey [Music] bye [Music] i know this can't be right here baby come on [Music] i wanna see you out there [Music] me [Music] [Applause] [Music] but it ain't lie baby okay now you're all awkward but it's adorable you know what i mean i don't expect you to be giving it all that stuff i i like the awkwardness thank you so much thank you thank you thank you seal i don't know if people realize how difficult it is to sing together like you do and i think that's obviously where your your military training comes in because there's a definite discipline that's required and that really showed through tonight thank you howie i wasn't as impressed the first time this was more fun it was there was more character so it made me smile more do i think it's a million dollar act no no but i think you stepped it up from last time most important thing for me is who we gonna remember tomorrow morning i think we're going to remember you and i really applaud you for what you got thank you see you later how you doing doing good how are y'all very good man good good looking good tell us who you are tell us a little about yourself i like that you gotta breathe it's hard first step to living is breathing yeah absolutely you need another one uh i'm good i'm good i think i got it my name is landon nolton i'm from tupelo mississippi yeah yeah i'm a sergeant in the army i know you want to be nice to us because you want to possibly go to hollywood sure but can you talk to us as though we're in your in the unit in the unit we're honestly we're just a bunch of punks yeah salty all right sorry here we go so i got to pull out the knife hand this is what every sergeant has i'm not even listening to you sergeant shut up straight so if you don't give me what you owe me right now you're going to be doing push-ups all night yes sir push-ups what's a push-up i've never done this you need to sit up in the front lean to rest and give me 20 right now you got 20. i'm gonna count them out give me one give me one i need to know what is a real push-up is it with the knees down you need to

dismissed exactly thank you sir thanks sir very good oh man i'm exhausted oh man concentrating is exhausting i need a all right what are you going to sing for us today i'm going to sing a song by need to breathe called wash by the water let's do it it's one of my favorites and doubt daddy was a preacher she was his wife [Music] just trying to make the world a little better you know shine a light [Music] because even when the rain falls or even when the flood starts rising or even when the storm comes oh i am washed by the water even [Music] good job ronald you know i just don't know at this think it's in the air i don't know what's happening but you know and and i think by giving you an opportunity to scare the hell out of us it loosens you up a little just a little bit i know there's more in there i'm hopefully there's more in there i like what you're doing thank you towards the end of that song i feel like maybe you were trying to like blow hard or show off maybe sure i think actually you have such a beautiful subtle texture that you don't always have to feel like you have to compete in that way gotcha they're totally on the money you've got a real voice it's not perfect from start to finish but i think you've got a soul in your voice that's really natural and real and i think people are going to buy into it you know all about working hard being a sergeant you first got to be talented and then you got to work really hard and then hopefully you'll catch a lucky star and and that lucky star may be on american idol right on i'm a yes i'm a yes you're going to hollywood sergeant thank you thank you thanks man appreciate it it was great to meet you guys i was turned on you know you want a submissive man i don't need another one of you honey what's your name

the time i turned and and went to jump on top of my guys i yelled grenade and the blast had hit me when i was lying there i thought that i was never going to be able to see my daughter walk down the aisle or or throw the baseball with my son again or or be able to to to hold them and then see them i didn't want my life to be over because there's just so much to do you know that that i would never be able to do it's hard to um it's hard to think about i'm just glad that you you're here to share it with me it ended up causing me to have a brain injury which you know caused my speech to not work right like it should singing is just an amazing feeling it has helped me get through a lot of tough times if it wasn't for my fiance carrie i would never ever um be in where i'm at now she's the one who said you need to go up there you need to you just need to let them hear you you have to be so lucky that you're even able to walk i should i sure am i'm i'm just happy to to to be here [Music]
