” Senger, dressed simply in jeans and an army green crew neck, shared a bit of his musical journey before starting his audition. “So I sing all over the place, playing gigs. I’m a musician for a living.
My dad was a guitar player and my mom is a singer. So yeah, fell in love with it from the get-go and me and my mom sang together from time to time,” he said. He launched into a cover of Keith Urban’s 2002 hit Somebody Like You, a performance that initially had Bryan stopping him with some firm feedback.
“Open your mouth a little bit,” Bryan said. “Slow it down so we can really hear you sing this thing.” That moment divided viewers on social media.
