Carrie_On Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) I am like 90% sure I predicted this final three during the Hawaii round. I’ll have to look for the post lol. I may have had Triston in Will’s spot. Edited May 20 by Carrie_On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iam, Colin, and Megan were all shown in the premiere. Last season, Noah and HG were from the premiere, and Leah was from Episode 2. Chayce and Willie were from E2, Grace in the premiere, and it just goes on and on. People pick their favorites early. @Carrie_On this prediction from the first page also ended up being accurate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 iTunes Will 9 Jack 14 Abi 24 I’m a little surprised Abi hasn’t passed Will yet. Doesn’t the winner usually chart the highest? Maybe next update… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Serious question: What does the winner of the show get, other than the trophy? Is there a cash prize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I had more reasons than that one to hope that she would win, but being in the second episode helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know I don't think they get anything. Which is why none of the contestants really care if they win or not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 2 here got a nice vacation out of this but it's not like that cost Disney any money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the only ones guaranteed a recording contract with the major label. Not that it’s really amounted to much for most of the ABC winners.

It’s just based on where they place and they don’t really push it as part of the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildestinvegas Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) they do win a cash prize. we know that bc madison vandenburg contract leaked and people got to read it but basically: ”For starters, the contestant who wins American Idol walks away with $125,000 for simply winning. As already mentioned, that also comes with a record deal. But what many might not know, when the singer completes their first album, they receive another check for $100,000. That comes to a total of $250,000. While a great deal of money, American Idol knows what it takes to make an album. So wanting to make sure the winners have enough, apparently, they receive a recording budget of $300,000.” obviously you need to know how to manage and spend the money or you can end up in debt like maddie LOL but it’s a pretty good value to invest on a initial project.

nytsch Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 This show having actually good results since I started voting last year lol, we love to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 That happens to a lot of reality show winners. They overspend the money and don’t realize how much of it will get taken in taxes, repaying the label, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nytsch Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 No but for real the winner singing Evanescence, FOB, and MCR in her run is truly iconic s**t 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 The fact that they couldn’t find more than a minute to let them sing their winners songs is bullsh*t. They probably won’t sell as well because of it. The label need to slap some sense into them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie_On Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Honestly, I was kinda worried about the singles pushing Will over the edge into the winner’s spot. Abi’s song is really bad IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a ton of speculation over whether they would sign Iam Tongi. They did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
