KelseyW Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 If Colin beats Iam that will take only some of the sting of Laine beating Alejandro as worst thing ever. lol jkjk Iam for the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idolfan1234 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 So, what do we know about the actual contestant performances. They are singing their singles. Iam has a huge choir apparently. What is the other song? And the Top 2 reprise their best song at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Colin’s song actually sounds very good and I think it’ll be played on country radio. I can see him being the most successful contestant from this season, even if he hasn’t impressed me much on the show so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin doing this well is worrisome. Minivan doesn't really use streaming platforms like Spotify, so the fact that he is that close to Iam is scary.

m1key Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I wonder if TPTB will have an applause track ready to play if Colin wins. Surely the Iam fans are going to be loudly chanting for Iam as they do every week, and they will likely boo Colin or not applaud at all if he wins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minivan doesn't really use streaming platforms like Spotify, so the fact that he is that close to Iam is scary. I don't think that's really true in 2023. Country music has closed the streaming gap a lot probably because iTunes and buying music is dead. I'm sure everyone is "getting with the times" with regards to the consumption of music. Plus, I would assume he has some type of fanbase outside of minivan. Anyways, a Colin win wouldn't be that shocking. The ABC era has shown me that going viral doesn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things...Alejandro, Arthur are all recent examples. Yeah, a lot of people might watch your videos, but are they actually voting when it counts, especially given how strong and predominant the country/minivan demographic is, especially given that both Noah and Chayce won the most recent seasons.

Carrie_On Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I won’t even be mad at Colin if he wins because I think he’s the most current-sounding country singer we’ve had so far on ABC Idol, but it will suck to see another male country singer win. Especially since we’ve come so close to getting a POC winner again, like we almost had with Willie. I still have hope that Iam can pull this off but Colin will put up a good fight, and I do think he’ll have success after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie_On Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Something funny: I remember back when Kellie Pickler auditioned and I was like “She picked a bad year to do this because there’s no way another blonde country female is going to win right after Carrie.” Nowadays, we see a country WGWG and we’re like “Well, there’s the third country guy winner in a row.” Lol. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whoever wins, better be prepare if someone else from this season ends up having more success. Idol is notorious for ignoring certain winners and pimping their favorites. Maddie Poppe won, but Gabby Barrett and Catie Turner were both chosen as mentors. Edited May 20, 2023 by mytake1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptebwwong Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 While I do think that Colin could win, I still think Iam is going to win. Usually the contestant whose coronation single is doing the best on iTunes before winning does seem to win. It happened with Noah & Chayce. As popular & viral Alejandro was, Laine's single was charting better on iTunes. Iam is the highest charting coronation single currently at #6 on iTunes all-genre (peaked at #5). It's going to be between Colin & Iam for the win. Colin has a chance because of the country fanbase, religious song, etc. However, I think Iam's popularity, backstory, his coronation song which ties back to his backstory, & his finale duet with James Blunt on "Monsters" which will likely lead to more votes for him can counter it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Carrie won there were audience members booing her win. I thought I remember articles after the finale that some Idol staff & even Bo were trying to "calm down" the audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya usually the obvious front runners like Alejandro get 2nd but Iam’s fanbase is the biggest I’ve ever seen on idol. Even bigger than Noah. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
