Thanks for writing these posts! I always look forward to reading these every week!

She did that as her Showstoppers song

Hi everyone, I noticed that there isnt a recent Camila vocals compilation on Youtube so I decided to make one. Camila's live performances and vocals are impeccable and really deserve to be recognized. Enjoy and let me know what you think! Feel free to remove if posts like these are not allowed. https://youtu.be/aWU4k7BoLGo

Thats nice that Idol is giving everyone in the Top 5 their own single.

Thanks so much for finally posting this! I was waiting for your write up!

These are my predictions: "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" (Alyssa) "Remember Me" (Chayce or returnee) "Real Gone" (Caleb) "When She Loved Me" (Cassandra) "Go the Distance" (Grace) "Baby Mine" (Hunter) "When You Wish Upon a Star" (Deshawn) "Into the Unknown" (Casey) "You’ll Be In My Heart" (Chayce or returnee) "Circle of Life" (Willie)

When I think about what female judges the show could get that would actually offer useful and constructive feedback as well as rival Ariana Grande in star power, Lady Gaga and Demi Lovato come to mind. Demi has proven to be a great singing show judge and does not hold back. The only problem is she just released an album and will probably want to spend the time on tour. Lady Gaga would be an even better choice. Shes one of the biggest superstars in the world and also has experience in many areas of entertainment. She has also been a guest mentor in the past, I can definitely see her giving great advice. A lot of people mentioned Adele. While I think she's a great singer, I dont think its the right time in her career to judge a singing show.

As a huge Disney fan, I hope Disney night never goes away. I don't think they will ever get rid of it because it is the perfect corporate synergy. However, It seems like they choose from the same list of 20 Disney songs every year. Here's hoping they will get to do some different Disney songs this season. I don't need to hear "Colors of the Wind", "How Far I'll Go" or "You Got a Friend in Me" on Idol ever again. Some songs I would like to see done: "He Lives in You" from The Lion King on Broadway "So Close" from Enchanted "Go the Distance" from Hercules "You're Welcome" from Moana "Show Yourself" from Frozen II "Ever Ever After" from Enchanted "Try Everything" from Zootopia "I See the Light" from Tangled, specifically by Ava August

Thankfully there are two performance shows a week this season so hopefully the cuts won’t be as steep every round.

Yes I can totally see that!

I wonder if there will be a Disney Night this year because a lot of these Oscar songs are Disney songs. Some of the (non Disney) songs I can see the contestants doing: Stand Up from Harriet (Alyssa) All the Stars from the Black Panther (Alyssa or Alanis) Mystery of Love from Call Me By Your Name (Beane) City of Stars from La La Land (Wyatt or Hunter) Audition from La La Land (Cassandra, Alanis or Ava) Writings on the Wall from Spectre Earned It from Fifty Shades of Grey (Grace or Madison) Lost Stars from Begin Again (Hunter or Chayce) Glory from Selma (Willie) Skyfall from Skyfall Falling Slowly from Once

Yeah, I think it’s because IWALY wasn’t originally written for the Bodyguard.

When I first heard about the twist, I wasnt too crazy about it. However, after hearing about what the format might be, it has grown on me. Now hear me out. By the time the twist gets introduced and the ten season 18 hopefuls perform on the Idol stage on April 19, the S19 contestants will have performed almost the same amount of times as last years contestants. Barring a possible Arthur Gunn voting sweep, the S19 contestants will have gained some momentum with the viewers and the contestants will be at a pretty even playing field. I'm assuming that a "few" means 3 or 4 contestants will join the current contenders. The fact that they will merge on May 2nd guarantees that there are still 6 performance shows before the finale.

I have to disagree, the show isnt about finding great singers. Yes, singing ability is one piece of the equation, but at the end of the day they are trying to find artists that will succeed in the industry. How successful an artist is after the show is dependent on how much the label pushes them, it has nothing to do with the show. I do want to argue that Alejandro has made a dent in the industry. After coming off Idol, he has performed sold out shows across the country.

Having a great voice is only one piece of puzzle. Artistry is more important and will take you farther in the industry. Many people in the industry have mediocre voices but are very successful because of their songwriting acumen.
