Noah has the potential to be a country music superstar.

After being dropped by his record label, American Idol season 20 winner Noah Thompson is still shocked by the fact that country music superstar Luke Combs included a song that he co-wrote on his new album, Fathers & Sons. In May 2024, Noah was dropped by his record label, 19 Entertainment. However, in June 2024, he announced that he was going to continue his music career as an independent artist, and teased that he had new music on the way. One of those songs is, "Front Door Famous," a song that he co-wrote with Luke, Robert Snyder, Blake Densmore, and Nick Columbia.

When Noah auditioned for American Idol, he was the definition of what the show is about: undiscovered talent. At 20 years old, he had raw talent, but no prior performance experience. However, Noah won the competition because of his incredible voice. Now he's tapped into his songwriting abilities as well. Noah's song "Front Door Famous" is about his son, and it's full of emotion. If he continues to write songs from the heart such as this one, he'll have a long and successful career, whether he chooses to sing them himself or write for others.

During American Idol, Noah was known for putting his own country spin on all different types of songs. One of his most impressive performances was during Hollywood Week when he sang "Stay" by Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko. He sang the song again during the finale, and it was somehow even more phenomenal than the first time he sang it, proving how much he'd grown throughout the competition. Some other highlights from Noah's American Idol season 20 run were "Heartbreak Warfare" by John Mayer, "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman, "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, and his own single, "One Day Tonight."

Noah has the potential to follow in the footsteps of American Idol country superstars such as Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler, Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina, and Gabby Barrett. Other winners such as Fantasia Barrino have been dropped by their record labels in the past and gone on to superstardom. Noah's career in country music is just getting started, and he'll surely have a lot more success in the future.

American Idol is available to stream on Hulu.
