Fans felt this would definitely trump Monatan's Jonah Prill. "I’m a proud Texan, but that song just isn’t my thing. Tyler Braden from Tennessee on the other hand, that man should be a bigger deal. Great song, and what a voice too! #americansongcontest," one of the fans remarked. "Tyler Braden took me back to when I was Seventeen & went on a field trip to Nashville, Tennessee which was one of the best field trips ever! Giving me Chris Stapleton vibes & I really like his vocal range! #AmericanSongContest," another tweet read.

Some segments were pretty mixed with their ratings. "#AmericanSongContest Song 3 - Show 3 Tennessee — Tyler Braden — “Seventeen” The song was OK but the live act look like it belong on the tonight show on NBC My score - 5," a fan rated the act. "Tennessee is the Sweden of The US. Like half of tonight's acts live and/or work in Nashville. He's advancing. If Montana can advance, Tyler should have NO problem. #AmericanSongContest," a fan opined. Despite topping the live jury votes, some weren't impressed.

"3. Tennessee - Tyler Braden: “Seventeen” It’s a nice country song, but really nothing special. Especially when we already have a killer country song like North Dakota in the Semi Finals. #AmericanSongContest,"a tweet read.
