Blue competed on *America's Got Talent* in season 20, which aired in 2025, and finished in third place.

Known as the "Bourbon Street Soul Singer," Blue, 24, quickly gained popularity on *America's Got Talent* for his soulful, emotional vocal style, including earning a Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel for his cover of The Script's "Breakeven."

Speaking with PEOPLE last year, Blue shared how he quickly gained attention for his street performances in the French Quarter thanks to TikTok.

"I realized that on TikTok, I could reach thousands of people I'd never meet in person. It helped me refine my craft, build confidence, and connect with an audience in ways I hadn't imagined," he said.

Blue also opened up about struggling with homelessness and addiction as a teen, including facing a near-death moment.

"There was one night when I was in a really dark place and made some bad decisions," he said. "I ended up overdosing. The people around me got scared and left. The next day, some of them came back and said, 'Jourdan, you were dead.' It was a miracle."

"That moment put everything into perspective. It wasn't intentional, but I realized my whole life could have been gone from one dumb decision," he continued. "I quit cold turkey — stopped everything. It was hard, but the reward was so much bigger than the struggle."

Discussing what he hoped to gain from his time on *America's Got Talent*, Blue shared how meaningful this experience would be not just for him but also for his son.

"Performing on that stage isn't just about me; it's about showing my son that no matter how dark or dangerous things get, you can come through it and create something beautiful. That's the message I hope he carries with him, and the one I'm living every day," Blue said.**
