He Looked Like The FRESH PRINCE…He Sounded Like Pure NASHVILLE

When Willie Jones walked onto the X Factor USA stage in 2012 nobody in that building had any idea what was about to happen. A 17 year old from Shreveport Louisiana with a style so reminiscent of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air that the entire building formed an opinion before he even opened his mouth. Then he sang. Pure country. Josh Turner deep baritone country that had absolutely no business coming from someone who looked like he did. LA Reid called him an absolute original. Simon said it was a day to remember the first time he heard Willie Jones. Watch every single second of what a 17 year old from Shreveport did when he opened his mouth and proved that nobody and nothing could have prepared that building for what came out.
