If the show comes back at all, it likely won't be until next year. By then, you don't know who will be back. Some contestants could have gotten opportunities and moved on.

Carrie_On Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I’m early predicting an Arthur Gunn VS Lauren Mascitti finale right now (if the show continues.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure of the competition is too much for him to handle. And it will only get tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee_ Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 My gosh. This off topic conversation... @istersay Anyway, there's a chance definitely but America isn't really into voting non-Americans to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point...that's why i think that Lauren Spencer Smith would never have a chance...and that's part of why I think she's getting buried by the edit....

Sept390 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 He's just another version of Alejandro, a singer/songwriter with great artistry. But the reality is there're thousands of people like that in the indie world. Idol should make a pop/superstar, not a fading star. They're hyping up Alejandro to heaven, talking about him in every episode but he could not even chart. Gabby, at the end, is the most successful new Idol so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I don't even think Arthur is another Alejandro...he's not known for his original material and he sounds nothing like him...still...he seems to be hogging up all the air time and all the fanfare...

CarmenSandiego Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 No, I don’t think he’ll run away with the win. Arthur is talented, but so many other singers are talented too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are both not white and happen to like the guitar? They hype Alejandro because he's actually earned cred and respect from his peers... Laine hasn't even released a debut single! OK. In your opinion. Tell me. Where is Gabby's debut album? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sign of a true star isn’t always releasing a debut album quickly but you have to realize “I Hope” is the biggest song from an idol star in years. It’s hit it’s peak of #36 on the overall Hot 100 which is very high for a country song and Gabby has topped the Billboard Emerging Artists chart for like 6 weeks. Gabby is 10X more successful than anyone on the ABC Idol. Maddie would be second as she’s had some AC radio success. Alejandro comes in third. He’s a small success. He sells out small venues and is a somewhat known indie name. But he’s not even on the level of Maddie. Edited March 29, 2020 by Blirel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro is making more money than anyone from ABC Idol. He has been selling out to venues around 1,000. That is not considered "small". He also has been booked to go overseas. The sign of a true star isn't just having 1 record on the charts. On Spotify, Gabby only has about 46K regular Followers - which means listeners like the song, but not interested in following the artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelseyW Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Also to answer the OP's question... I think an Arthur win is possible, but not likely. We will see how this season goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that Idol has produced few legit "superstars" who are household names, who have established themselves in their genre with a string of hits, who have won multiple music awards. There are those who've had good careers, but they're not "superstars". And there's nothing wrong with that.

At the moment, I'm not living in the States, and people here know Alejandro aka Scarypoolparty. He's very big over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
