Yall this is definitely real. I saw on Alyssas story a birthday card signed by Cyniah and Franklin but didnt think anything of it because they couldve just been in LA. 

Btw, I just checked and the instagram story is now expired. But TRUST ME, it was there.

I’m just happy about robbed queen Makayla.

Makayla and Louis returning is just *chef’s kiss*

Also - didn’t Arthur turn down an offer from Hollywood?  Seems weird to bring him back when he didn’t want the rescue deal.

How can Franklin be back? Isn’t he over the age limit?

No, S19 would be the final season before he hit the age cut-off. He and I are only a month apart so I’m well aware that I’m almost too old for Idol.

NICK MERICOOOOOOOOOO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 

 

I'm still skeptical whether it's legit, but we'll see soon I guess...

[m1key]

Stop the Arthur Gunn hype. So many singers this year are better then him

Yeah, but the voters are probably going to eat him up again.

Eh obviously idol voters did not care about his post idol career so they might of forgot about him

Makayla finally getting the stage she deserves during the live shows!

[sydneysam]

Idk, even if I love the twist (Queen Makayla's coming back after all), it kinds feels unfair to the Top 24 this season? Since some of them are just on their way to strengthen their fan bases or make their name known. Unlike those top 10 who some already had many fans out there due to their run on the show last season (looking at you Arthur )

 

they should've done an all-star season or something

Olivia is coming back?  Great!  She’s someone who was screwed by performing from at home last season.
