AI18 - Social Media!

Recommended Posts

Free for all. Judge/discuss/comment/rate/stat/etc. production's and contestants' non/effective use of social media. Less about their abilities/performances, but more about "ooh, they got a huge/small bump this week" or "they might/not be the fron-trunner" or "I wish production tweeted more!" lol

 

Idol has been pretty great with it's handling of contestants' social media presence during this ABC era and they even made it a point last year to boast the HUGE amount of fans the top finalists accumulated during the season, so I wanted to start a Social Media thread. There was a guy in the TV Forum that used to keep track of followers for each artist every week (with graphs and everything), but I don't know how to do that so this is just gonna be a very casual thing...if you know how/where to track social media followers feel free to post or let me know and I'll try it out!!

 

Oh, and I'll be focusing on the T20/21 contestants, but feel free to discuss others who you think made an impression!

I'll start it off with: i wish Sam would change her social media handles to her name lol

 

also, as far as intsa goes;

arthur got the biggest bump from ~1k to ~44k

francisco ~1k* to ~21k

louis ~7k to ~17k (surprised he isn't doing better tbh)

nick 218k to 224k

sam ~3k to ~8k (change ya handles, girl!)

 

*didn't get the actual number before premiere since he wasn't speculated to have made T20/21, but this is roughly what i remember in general

will post update sunday!

Just now, holinessss said:

ok so based on insta:

 

grace's idol post has ~17.4k likes + ~330 comments (followers upped from ~11.5k to ~19k since last night)

lauren's idol post has ~9.3k likes + ~230 comments (followers upped from ~24.2k to 29.7k since last night)

 

can't compare anywhere else cause their performances are on the same video

 

let's see if this is the result we'll get between the two country singers

Arthur Gunn    182.2
Francisco Martin    95.5
Louis Knight    76.1
Sam Diaz    68.3
Dillon James    60.9

 

Jonny West    44.1
Julia Gargano    43.7
Lauren Spencer-Smith    42.7
Makayla Phillips    41.2


Sophia Wackerman    34.2
Grace Leer    33
Jovin Webb    19.8
Kimmy Gabriela    19.6
Cyniah Elise    18.4
Nick Merico    18
Olivia Ximines    17
Franklin Boone    12.8
DeWayne Crocker Jr.    7.6
Faith Becnel    6.5
Aliana Jester    5.1

 

so if next week is a t7 + 3 saves, we can potentially have this t5 + any 2 of the 4, then 3 saves
