Britney, what do you think?

I felt like you were a young
vanilla ice, ice, baby.

Ooh.

And I liked it a lot.

You totally surprised me.

Because you have, like, a
Southern twang, so I was like,

"oh, he's gonna sing country."

Absolutely.

That's why I asked
him about his genre.

And then you spit that out
and I was like, "what?

Are you kidding me?"

That was so cool.

I'm so impressed.

I feel kinda like the underdog though.

I mean, I'm the only guy with a hat on, and...
Hey, that's good.

I don't know how many...

Well, I know that.

My name's Tate Stevens.

I'm from belton, Missouri.

And I'm years old.

I'm in the street department.

We do asphalt, road, the curves,
and gutters and stuff like that.

When are you going?

Uh, honey, I have no idea.

My daughter's .

Just kinda pushed me and said,
"you know, you need to do this.

"This is who you are."

Dad, you can do it.

I know you can.

The reason I haven't had a
break yet I think mainly is,

I don't think the timing was right.

You know, plus raising my kids, man.
I mean, that's...

I'm a dad, so, you know,
that's what I do now.

We can do it, yes, sir.

All right, the judges
are ready for you.

Right this way, please.

All right, thanks.

I love you.

Um, what kinda music
do you like to sing?

Uh, usually rap, uh...

Just... just sayin'.

Are you gonna rap for us today?

No.

I love that.

You're funny.

That was good.

Ahh. Um...
Where are you from?

I'm from belton, Missouri.

Everybody showed up, the whole town.

How about that?

And what would you do

Honestly, really?

I mean, honestly, I'ma

Yes, sir!

And... and everybody's invited.

That's my kind of man.

That's my kinda man.

That's my kinda man.

I mean, but really, I
mean, that is true.

I would do that.

But you should probably ask my
wife what she would do with the

million, 'cause it
would go right to her.

I mean... So, Tate, so what do
you do when you're not singing?

Because you clearly
support your family.

Yes, sir.

I work for the city of
belton, where I grew up.

I, uh, work for the street department.

It's not that fancy, guys, really.

Uh, you know, I do asphalt and

For real?

Yeah.

I was in the hospital yesterday
with pneumonia, but I

bust myself outta there, because
I had to be here today, and

singing is everything to me.

I don't got a lot of education,
I don't got a lot of nothing,

but I just got a lot of
personality, and it's the gift

that God gave me.

And so I just like to use that
gift to brighten up everybody's

day.

Whoo!

I get to meet Simon!

I'm so excited right now,
my adrenaline's going.

I'm just ready to go in there,

came up with the name.
