Huff is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana; he is currently a student at the University of Oklahoma. Huff auditioned for the third season of American Idol in Houston, Texas; he was a member of the fourth group of semifinalists. He was actually not among those originally chosen for the semifinal round, but was put through when contestant Donnie Williams was disqualified for a drunk driving arrest.
Huff was not voted through to the final round from his group of semifinalists, but got another second chance when he was brought back for the wildcard round and put through as a finalist by contest judge Simon Cowell. During this period, New Orleans Fox Affiliate WVUE would hold specials including Huff's family cheering George on during the latest episodes.
On May 5, 2004, Huff was voted off in fifth place after two renditions of Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" during big band week.
His album, Miracles, was released by Word Records, on October 11, 2005. The first single off that album was Brighter Day. It sold a mere 18,000 copies.
In 2005 his Louisiana home was affected by Hurricane Katrina. He left New Orleans and stayed at his brother's house in Dallas. 1
Hold On To Love
George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my life I know I've got enough (to make things right)
Its the power we need to overcome (what life brings)
And as long as we got it we can conquer anything
There's no mountain too high or a river too deep
Loves gonna carry me
Through the storm through the rain I know higher ground I'll gain
If I keep holding on Holding on to love through the fire
Love will lead me to the light just as long as I hold on hold on to love
No matter what's going on (deep inside)
In love there's a secret place (where I find)
Just what I need to help me deal with (what's gone wrong)
When I was weak love lifted me (and made me strong)
There's no wrong I can't right No thing I can't beat
Love will carry me
[Chorus]
Love is the higher calling that picked me up when falling
With love I know I can take it gives me the courage to make it
[Chorus]
