I liked Evelyn. She had some cool song choices. I think she should’ve made the Top 10 over Alyssa.

I think Nick is too Hollywood pretty boy to connect with voters. Dillon James is someone we should keep an eye on.

I really wasn’t feeling Faith but if she sang like this during Hollywood/Hawaii, I can see why she made the Top 20:

I really hope we get to vote at Top 20. It’s not fair for the judges to decide after that, IMO.

Right? Why would you pick Sex On Fire to sing at a Hawaii family resort?

Julia, Louis, Cyniah, Sophia, and Lauren Spencer-Smith. I like most of the Top 20.

Yeah she’s a total plant. I’m sure she was scouted because of that viral video of her singing in the car.

Me please. She’s the best singer of the Top 20.

Me please. My early prediction for the winner. Great voice and I think she’ll appeal to the casual viewers.

Me please. Favorite guy.

Yes please. My favorite by far.

Julia chose a great song. She sounds like a mix between Pink, Sara Bareilles, and a bit of JoDee Messina. Dillon’s song choice was smart too. Some of those choices though.... yikes.

I’m ready for a season full of powerhouses. S16 and S17 had a lot of singer-songwriter types. I love those contestants too but I’m ready for a vocal showdown like the good old days.

Great Top 20 all around. My personal ranking as of now: 1. Julia Gargano 2. Louis Knight 3. Lauren Spencer-Smith 4. Cyniah Elise 5. Lauren Mascitti 6. Sam Diaz 7. Dillon James 8. Jonny West 9. Sophia Wackerman 10. Jovin Webb 11. Arthur Gunn 12. Nick Merico 13. Makayla Phillips 14. Dewayne Crocker 15. Kimmy Gabriella 16. Olivia Ximines 17. Grace Leer 18. Aliana Jester 19. Franklin Boone 20. Faith Becnel

Really liking the Top 20 so far. A little surprised about Genevieve but she’s not that good IMO. And I haven’t been keeping score but it seems like there’s more girls in the Top 20?

Omg!!

I think they want a girl winner this season. I’d rather the judges choose the Top 20/24 and then we vote from there. I think voting at Top 40 is too early but Top 14 is too late.

As long as Julia and Louie make the Top 24, I’m good.

I do really like the singers, though. Seems like it’ll be really hard to narrow them down to a Top 20/24.

As fun as Margie was, I don’t think she’s a great singer, so I’m not too sad about this.

Thanks! Didn’t know that was her. She’s singing “Como La Flor” by Selena.

Do you have a link to Sam Diaz’s IG? Not loving these contestants’ choices of songs, though, lol.

I think this is a very strong Top 40 so far. Demi, Lauren, Julia, Cyniah, Bilaal, and Louie are my faves right now. I think these judges (or producers) are the best at choosing talent since Randy, JLo, and Steven Tyler.

Such a strong Top 40 so far. Everyone’s good.

Yeah but that happens to a lot of teen singers/celebrities, not just Idol contestants. Even adults. Some people don’t handle pressure as well as others. I believe Antonella was 20 when she was on the show and she’s still trying to blame it for her drug addiction.
