Luke Bryan, judge of American Idol, hands the shoes to his competitor after a moving performance

When American idol Judge Luke Bryan saw the holes in cowboy boots of competitor Colby Swift. He knew that he had to do something for this talented young man.

After meeting for the first time the Midfield, Texas resident at the auditions in Louisville, Kentucky, the 19-year-old had his first chance to perform in front of a real audience during the episode of the week Sunday in Hollywood.

"I've never sung in front of a lot of people before," he admitted to the cameras before going on stage. "I've never taken a singing class day before in my life I can not sing like another.I am me, I'm Colby Swift.I do not try to look like someone else. 39, one of them. "

For her first time on stage, Swift's powerful rendition of Freddy Fender's "Before the Next Falling Tear" sparked a strong reaction from judges and other contestants, who cheered on the stunned singer.

"It was crazy," he says, bursting into tears behind the scenes. "I never thought I'd have a standing ovation – that Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie are getting up for me – it's a blessing, man."

"I never thought I would do that," he continued.

In addition to his murderous voice, Judge Luke Bryan noticed one thing about the young man: the boots he wore during the two performances were worn up to the ground in a huge hole.

"The two pairs of his boots have holes in the bottom," whispered Bryan to Richie after the show.

"Yes, well, we can get him a pair of boots," Richie replied.

While the judges withdrew the candidates who were going to the next round, Bryan asked Swift to show his shoes with holes in the camera, before asking him what shoe he was wearing.

Swift explained that he was wearing "all that fits", how much Bryan took off his own boots and handed them to the singer, telling him, "Well, I'm a 12D and I'm going to solve that little problem . "

"So Colby, these boots are made to walk until the next round," he said to Swift, stunned.

"I have Luke Bryan's boots!" he shouted for the cameras, circling the moon to make the judges laugh before leaving the stage.

That is not to say that Bryan's colleagues were delighted to have a country star without shoes so close to them, especially when he decided to put his stinky feet on Perry's face, in plating against it.

"Get them out of here!" she told him.
