Carrie_On Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) It’s early but I’d like to start my Season 18 Idol redux. If you’re curious, my past winners would’ve been Maddie Poppe and Jeremiah Harmon. In my version, there is a Top 24, not even-gendered. I tried to limit it to people who were actually shown on the show. While I liked people like Bilaal Avaz pre-show, we only saw like five seconds of him singing in Hollywood Week. Also, in my redux, Covid-19 has passed, so the performances will be live with a studio audience. Here are my choices for the Top 24, who will be cut down to a Top 12. Idol Redux Top 24 Girls: Amber Fiedler Cyniah Elise DemiRae Moreno Geena Fontanella Grace Leer Hannah Prestridge Julia Gargano Kimmy Gabriella Lauren Mascitti Lauren Spencer-Smith Makayla Phillips Samanatha “Just Sam” Diaz Shannon Gibbons Sophia Wackerman Guys Arthur Gunn Devon Alexander DeWayne Crocker, Jr. Dillon James Francisco Martin Franklin Boone Jonny West Jovin Webb Louis Knight Zach Dobbins Edited May 2, 2020 by Carrie_On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
