SAFE: Abi Carter
Abi kicked — or should we say flipped — off the night with the mermaid empowerment anthem “Part of Your World,” a song you can tell she’s been singing all her life. The vocals were big, as were the theatrics, but it all worked in a very Disney way. It was also a fun blend of the original arrangement and the updated live-action version. Abi gave us the best of both worlds, as they say, and what could be more appropriate for a song from The Little Mermaid?
TVLINE’S GRADE: “A”
I think America got it right, and I would be extremely surprised if Abi doesn’t win.
IMO Abi would be Kris Allen 2.0. Jack and Will are going to have careers regardless, and eventually so will Triston. Abi will fade into obscurity.
America got it absolutely right. I agree completely with the top three. My vote to win is Abi Carter. She has what it takes to go all the way. Also I am very sad to see Katy Perry leave American idol it won’t be the same without her.
I’m going to miss Katy, too. I love her personality & her rapport with the contestants & the other judges. She’s a little wacky, but that’s what I love about her. She doesn’t take herself too seriously. Wish she wasn’t leaving.
I thought the 3 guys should have made the final 3. I would have preferred Tristan over Abi. Of The guys, I would choose Jack. I will be pleased to see Perry leave. She inserts herself into too many situations in an effort to make it all about her.
Would have preferred for top 3Will, Jack, Tristan
Tristin should be in the final 3
My group would be Will,Triston, and Jack
Not a fan of Abby
Bingo on Tristin
I really hope Abi wins. She turned a corner for me when she sang the Evanescence song. Absolutely loved seeing that side of her! And hope she does more rock infused songs because she’s great with those songs!!!
Triston should have never been eliminated. He was the best male singer tonight. I don’t know if I will watch next week.
Totally agree! Triston deserved to be in the final three!
I agree!
100% Tristan is phenomenal! This is such a disappointment!
Me too Im done with it now
For me, Triston and Emmy have something unique going on and I think will be the most successful post-show if they can develop their talents. Will and Abby are good singers and polished but don’t really have “it” imo. And Jack is just a goofball with a guitar that the girls seem to like so he’ll probably win knowing the show’s history. Probably will skip the finale as well.
not a fan of Abby
Abby is boring. Nothing special or interesting about her voice. Would have preferred Emmy or Tristan in her spot.
Sad to see Tristan go, he should have won!
I definitely feel like Tristan should have made top 3 abi is too theatrical, more of a Broadway star than pop star
American Idol RAN OVER missing the complete results!!!!!!!! :-/ #*!
All five were amazing. My favorite is Jack. Cinderfellow.
Tristian got robbed! Should’ve been in the top three! Mosley should’ve been eliminated. That’s just my 2 cents…
I’m not surprised at who the last 3 are. I wish all lots of luck for the win of “American Idol” I like Jack
Emmy and Triston both sang better than Will!!
💯Triston is a phenomenon and pure joy. After seeing that video on Will’s page on the way he handled animals, I can’t even look at his performances, sorry to say. With Triston gone, Abi and then Jack. I believe Emmy and many others will find success. Good Season except for losing Triston ~ but buy his single ~ “HOPE”. ✌️
The final three were correct. I keep changing who I want to win, because they are all so good. First, I wanted Will, then Abi, and now Jack. IMO, Jack and Abi have shown the most growth and have taken some real risks, and I applaud that.
Every time Jack takes the stage, I find myself sitting up and leaning forward anticipating how he will surprise us this time. He is a unique, versatile talent. And if someone carps about his unorthodox movements or mouth stretches, I simply remind them of a successful artist from decades ago: Joe Cocker. If Jack doesn’t win, I’d be happy with an Abi victory, too.
It’s Abi to win!! She choses the right song it’s hers to win.
I have a feeling that Jack’s going to sneak up and win this entire competition. The numbers speak for themselves. Here’s a guy that wasn’t even going to be put through after the auditions. Thank God for the crew who begged for the judges to send him through. He has definitely been the Cinderella story of his journey on American Idol. That leaves Abi Probably finishing second and Will placing third. This has been one of the closest competitions in recent years on American Idol. When Carrie and Kelly competed, you knew it was a runaway, but not this year. The last woman To win American Idol was Just Sam in 2020. Four years is a long time to wait for a female singer to win American Idol. With all of that being said, I could be totally wrong in the placement of the top three because it’s anybody’s game and you just hope that America votes for the most talented and not the most popular. I’m just looking forward to next weeks hometown visits and then crowning of the 22nd season of American Idol. I have never missed a season of American Idol and I always take the time to read what the blogger say along with the golden derby and the betting odds at it this evening we have fallen below Abi. Who knows it may have been because of that fumble when singing his first song. If I had to pick who was the most unique that would go to Jack. Will more then likely have great success in country music. The most important thing he needs is the ability to write his own songs. Keep in mind he is only 23 and typically most of the male country singers you see today are in their 30s. when they make it big. I see Abi on Broadway. But when she sang the evanescence song last week, I’m thinking anything she touches turns to gold. Jack on the other hand is probably the most versatile. And there you have it I said my piece.
Perfectly written!
Im good with either Abi or Jack winning. They’re two of the best that American Idol has found in a LONG time. Coming from a rock/pop perspective. Of course, it seems like every singing contestant winner has to be a male country singer these days, so Will still has a chance.
Will could get a lot of the Tristan votes now that he is out of the picture.
I stopped watching after America messed up with Kayko. Looking forward to seeing him perform on the finale.
I feel Will definitely has a genuine country voice and could make a great album given the right songs. You can close your eyes and hear the voice and know it”s country true.
Jack has a good voice but doesn’t have what Will has in his voice. It’s a different kind of voice.
Abi can sing but was a little too loud didn’t care for her that much???
Remember when you listen to music your not seeing these people only hearing voice.
I’m so disappointed that Tristan and Emmi went home tonight
Abi’s the one the show wants to win. She’s young, pretty and thin and always sounds professional. They can promote her to a career that proves that American Idol can find popular singers. That said, I usually don’t remember what she sang and haven’t been surprised by any of her choices. I don’t worry about Triston; he’ll find his way to a country career because he’s ready and fun to watch. As for Emmy, if this is something she really wants, she’ll probably be able to get a record deal and at least some gigs from this and her lineage. But her voice may not be strong enough to keep her going, and she seems too fragile to want to pursue show business.
I think Triston dodged a bullet. He has unmistakable talent, but at his age, could have been really twisted by stardom at such a young age. There are so many examples of young phenoms going off the rails from the show biz whirlwind. I hope Triston builds a career when he’s a bit older.
Wow, once again America got it wrong!! Tristan was far better than Abi through out the contest, but then again America vote for Trump, so that says alot
I’m all in for Abi Carter. She has been consistent, and her voice is stellar.
Emmy’s a sweetheart with a lovely voice. She just needs a little more time to build her confidence
Yes to Abi and Jack, but I would have opted for Triston over Will. That young man can sing and perform and I hope we see more of him. I agree the Disney night song choices were less than great. Anyone else thinking Megan Trainor should take Katy’s place?
Was not a fan, for Tristen, america got it right. Jack is my favorite. Emmy, i tried, she needs to come back, with more confidence.
I agree Megan would be an excellent choice to replace Katy, however I think I heard her say she is going on tour. The whole idea behind the judging on idol is to sift through to thousands of people to come up with the best 24 candidates, and then provide support and confidence to send them on their way. Megan would provide all of that perfectly.
