NOT RELATED. Off topic. Kind of... lol It's Katy's last season. Give me my darn Hanson theme week and mentorship I've wanted for eons... It's an off year of not much touring and music making for them. They could be available in April at least. Before their Hanson Day fan club celebration in May. For the naive to Hanson's music. Their songbook is vast. Yes they actually aren't just pop/rock they have bluesy/soul/country/rock/singer songwriter vibes too! Katy's a big fan of theirs even having them appear in her Last Friday Night music video... I refuse to have Disney night and some other stale themes. Bring back ARTIST, SINGER/BAND mentorship theme weeks!

Katy x Luke friendship fan here. lol It won't be the same without her, but Gaga or P!nk are the only ones risqué and funny and kind enough imo.

WHY AREN'T FOLKS TALKING ABOUT HER. lol

GAGA OR P!NK. I don't think Miley would want to either. lol

28ish is NOT old... lol Idols one gripe with me is their age limit. It should be raised to 40 and lowered to 18!

Add me. Giving Phillip Phillips meets Kris Allen vibes.

HAHAHA. I don't have any yet going in fresh earred!

^ lol Did Gabby have a radio single or any promo??

He never was an Idol alum. Just an auditioner. I mean congrats but don't re write history. lol TO be an alum you have to have actually competed in HW. imo

I hope @Tiger_8 is ok!!

Lol. Still not a single update to the AI21 fan threads list.... It's ok I'm behind too!!

March 2024? = Tentatively the release month for Kris' new studio album!!

It's not to spit on his success or anything. But AI has a LONG way to go when it comes to giving a crap about their winners success in music entertainment. Like wooo ABC Idol is racking em in. Maddie- Independent... Gabby is the center topic of discussion online. Big whoop. Laine? HAHA. A certified loser in my book! Sam. Well I won't even go there. But she's trying at least. Chayce has been doing about as good as Noah would be if he had hits. Then there's Iam. Also not signed. Others preferred to be talked about but he has a huge online and in person fanbase. Did I sum it up? Can't we just be happy for Chayce? For the FOX days... For example. I love Kris Allen. Huge fan. Adam losing to him will always be a thorn in my side because Adam has a record deal and Kris is currently indie. It's the 15th anniversary of his win. But ooh Adam fronts Queen and puts out a covers album in 2023 and crickets from anyone online on the subject of the Kris/Haley Reinhart Thunderclouds collab! If I sound unhinged it's because the American Idol fandom has ALWAYS been a mixed bag. Kinda like following Harry Potter or Pokémon... Meaning. There will be those nostalgic for Kelly, Carrie, Jennifer Hudson and Daughtry levels of success. And those who just won't shut up about the OG judges no matter how they faltered in their last seasons of judging on Idol and how wacky they were and what Idol stood for. (Not that ABC Idol doesn't have joke auditioners but they at least aren't ripping mentally ill peoples hearts out like Nigel's show did....) @mytake1 I love ya. But really let's just take one for the team here. Normally I agree with your standings on the show, but that's salt in the musical wound if you can't be happy for someone without complaining about the eff ups of Idol. Sorry not in the mood for another season of millions of views on Youtube only for the winner to not get a record out by this spring... Not an EP online only a physical CD when was the last time an ABC American Idol winner put out one? MADDIE in a small store in IOWA her home state??? DING DING DING. You'd be right. END RANT. 1000 points to you if you put up with my rambling... lol

Female. Rock/pop Early 20's We have NEVER had a rocker girl win!!

I always thought Nigel was a creepo...

An Asian/Japanese/Chinese etc. Hawaiian is cool but after William Hung ruined things for Asians and made them unintentionally mocked... ANYWAY. Time for a non white, female. lol

Yawn. Season 9 just wasn't ok. lol If Idol seasons could be judged on merit and mental health levels that one would get an F!

“Ex’s And Oh’s” by Elle King Can we stop with this song. So many meh choices in the set lists... If you can't pick a non pop song or something that only came out 10 years ago you're eh. lol.

Maddie is eh lately. But I still love her. lol Megan too. MJ posts what gets her clicks on her junk ad site and nothing more. She's a hack.

Anyone interesting? I mean unique and not from another talent singing show?

Yes and a correct one. lol jk I didn't watch Idol until season 6 so I always say I missed the first original five seasons. Because it's done it's duty. You can't live hoping for the same nostalgic outcome in life. imo I loved them in their heyday but it's beyond silly to hope for the same nostalgia feeling with ABC Idol.

Oh shut it about Simon/Paula/Randy. So overrated... lol
