omg she booked the stage coach!

usually i’d be excited to have someone that was a past alum on the painel but this is a pretty meh choice. we don’t really need 2 country people at all. if you have carrie, you should ditch luke so this is a very dumb choice if they want a diverse cast imo. don’t really have high hopes for s23 but well at least s22 snapped.

finally found myself some time to watch the concert videos and i’m so proud of her!!! she needs to release burned ASAP, that’s a banger! kinda surprised by how many originals she already has in the works.

not a fan of the fade out at the end bc it’s not my favorite production choice but really digged everything else. the lyrics are beautiful and really well written (her lyricism already got so strong) and the adlibs on the final chorus are gorgeous.

yeah, abi owns the song when it comes to idol now. it was the idol moment of the season and one of the defining moments of the abc era, it was a game changer for her. i feel bad for sonika bc it was the only thing she was remembered for and now it kinda became abi’s quissential moment but she still did good. my ranking would be: abi >>>> sonika >>> angie > jena abi’s arrangement and vocals were by far the best, that opening always sends chills down my spine. sonika was good but i kinda hate how she finished the song and i also felt like she was trying too hard at the end. angie was good but the wind and her trying to keep her shirt from flying off was super distracting and jena’s was just weird. you would think the song would be perfect for her voice but for some reason it wasn’t.

OMGGGG new music, i wasn’t expecting her to release something this soon, excited to hear it!

Nick Fradiani - Season 14 Best Performance: Only The Good Die Young Round: Final 7 Theme: American Classics Nick is a decent winner who displayed good consistency inside his lane. But I also think he struggled with having moments and raising it above “competent” and “good” during the majority of his run. He doesn’t have any particular performances or a breakout moment that I would consider a must-see for Season 14 and I think that forgettable-feeling that I have attached to his time on the show hurts my perception of him overall. That isn’t to say that he’s bad. I think he earned his win (def the right choice out of him and Clark) and was a contestant who not only looked extremely comfortable and experienced on the stage but could also carry a tune vocally (he did struggle with breathing support and that would annoy me sometimes when he would fail to display stamina through his performances tho). But yeah, I don’t have a lot to say about him. I think his best performances were "Beautiful Life" and “Only The Good Die Young”, which turned out to be a stunning version of the song, and his worst one was definitely “Catching My Breath”, the song was too big for him and he struggled with pitch during the entirety of it. Overall he’s a winner that I can understand and even appreciate but that failed to truly excite me in any fashion. Performances ranking: 1. Beautiful Life (A) 2. Only The Good Die Young (A) 3.

sorry for the lack of updates on this. irl has been a whirlwind for the past week or so. i’m gonna try to get nick’s and trent’s write ups out of the way during this upcoming week tho!

she’s snatching that best new artist award at the grammys next year. a superstar in the making for sure. atlantic records is looking like boo boo the fool for dropping her back in 2020 lmaoooo

kinda random but i've been a chappell roan stan ever since i came across pink pony club mid-pandemic in 2020 when she was a nobody so i'm over the moon with her smashing like she's currently doing right now (8 songs charting on spotify US, good luck babe about to become a top 10 hit on spotify global!!!!) bc i always thought she was something special even when she only had 2 songs out. i feel like that's my non-idol version of what it would feel like to have an idol contestant blowing up

no one is acting like that? jesus christ lmfaooooo y’all were obsessing over her “not booking any gigs” 2 days ago and writing essays about it so i think we’re entitled to be happy for her

i'm jealous of everyone that will attend the concert omg

Not her first concert being in a 11k venue. Queen sh*t

basically this. i stopped reading this thread bc people sound lowkey insane.

i actually think abi won in the worst possible final 3 combo she could’ve had (triston getting eliminated and no vote split from country voters happening at the finale). she got pimped with the billie thing but if she hadn’t delivered w her finale performances, i doubt that would’ve been enough for her to win.
