There have been countlessAmerican Idolhopefuls that have fit the bill of nepo baby.
Sometimes, its a passing comment thats brought into the conversation and never addressed again.
He is exploring a more folk-country sound as opposed to trying to become the next biggest boy band member.

Even when his dad was invited into the room, the judges already decided Baylee was through.
The Littrell moment was handled in a brilliant manner, unlike other contestants of the past.
There was no getting past the obvious.
First, having a famous father?
Second, having his first big break being his dad’s group’s opening act?
Third, trying to build a profile on a talent competition show that already has a stigma?
So why would Baylee want to put himself through it?
Carrie Underwood’s first audition as a judge had her in awe.
His profile has a built-in advantage.
WithAmerican Idol’s assist, the Brian Littrell of it all is officially out of the way.
He’s no longer Brian Littrell’s kid.
He’s now Baylee Littrell,American Idolcontestant.
Why wouldn’t they want to exploit one of the most influential voices in country music history?
There is still a chance for Baylees journey to lean too heavily into his dads legacy.
He has to make it through Hollywood Week.
But for now, its out in the open.
Himself, his dad, and the judges have acknowledged he’s doing his own thing.
We’re rooting for him!
