wildestinvegas Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 i still have will as the most likely to be in the final 2 but i will say that there’s a lot of comments on facebook and instagram wanting abi and jack to be the top 2, it’s the most “combination” i’m seeing over there, even more than “triston/will”. once it gets down to 3, i think any combination of the 3 finalists could make the top 2. i don’t really have a solid guess atp LOL 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Will posted this last week, which led me to believe he had just recorded something. I guess that’s good news for McKenna and Julia stans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamAudra Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 30 minutes ago, MILO JAY said: Yes i agree! I can't really see her making it big because of this sadly Most likely, none of them will make it big. Country singers seem to have an advantage, so if any of them do, it will probably be one of them. Since Triston isn’t ready, you can see where I’m going with this… If Abi can improve her songwriting, and catch a big break, maybe she has a chance. That song she released is awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1key Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 off the top of my head the only originals performed on Idol that I actively return to are Leah Marlene's "Wisher to the Well" (love the Many Colors EP!!!) and Jeremiah's "Almost Heaven" tbh. it's not that i think all of the other originals are bad. i just feel that many of them lack replay value and i struggle with disassociating them from the context of being performed/released on Idol. most of the time the originals are also midtempos/ballads and my playlists are very uptempo heavy. contestants need to be more encouraged to write uptempo originals since those are the songs that actually have a higher chance of becoming hits!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1key Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 i've been looking through this facebook page called American Idol Fans (63.8k members) for the past 15 minutes and it is lowkey fascinating to see how Minivan discusses the show outside of the comments under performance posts they also get really unhinged on there? there is one post of a person with a smiling Karen bitmoji saying: "I'm sorry but Jack grosses me out. Homer Simpson on acid. Ick." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsamid Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 9 hours ago, m1key said: i'm not even a Hailey hater but calling her "so much better than nearly everyone in the top 24" is an extreme exaggeration lol. if she was that much better she wouldn't have been montaged so much and eliminated at Top 24 y'all know im usually down with the IDF it girls but i'm never really gonna see what y'all see in her tbh. I do agree she isn't so much better than everyone else. But using her montage and elimination as a reason why she isn't doesn't make sense. Otherwise, triston > everyone eliminated so far. Contestants get eliminated prematurely all the time, and sometimes it has nothing to do with how good they were. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I have to agree that doing covers in the real world is a Vegas lounge act. Although I do like a singer that did covers in a lounge — at Harrah’s in Atlantic City, not in Las Vegas, however. The singer’s name is Ken McBride and he’s from Waterford, Ireland. I think he’s doing acts in Florida now, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1key Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 yeah obviously a career doing covers makes you a novelty cruise ship/vegas act lol. however, i do think covers are still an important part of the music industry and broadening your fanbase. for example: Olivia Rodrigo covered "Stick Season" by Noah Kahan a few months ago and it went super viral. it exposed her to a new audience because it proved that she was more than just a teen pop/rock girl. Luke Comb's cover of "Fast Car" was also one of the biggest hits of last year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Idol encourage more original music. At least the contestants will have a skill set that they can build on. Whereas the Disney theme, no matter how well someone sings it, is completely useless beyond the show. Edited May 9 by mytake1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Comb's cover of "Fast Car" was also one of the biggest hits of last year. The definition of a cover has shifted over the years. In the early years of the industry, multiple artists would record the same song and they would often chart simultaneously. Now it’s taboo to “steal” another artist’s song and covers are usually reboots of much older songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildestinvegas Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) last season, they revealed the songchoices for disney week via people on thursday afternooon.... i wonder if we're gonna get an early exclusive this season as well https://people.com/music/american-idol-disney-night-setlist-exclusive/ season 20 was revealed on the thursday before the show as well: https://d23.com/american-idol-reveals-top-10-disney-night-songs/ Edited May 9 by wildestinvegas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idolfan1234 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The results have been fairly obvious this season. Can anyone see a scenario where the finale isn't Jack, Abi and Will? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone see a scenario where the finale isn't Jack, Abi and Will? I see 3 scenarios tbh. I will NOT understimate a 15 year old country boy LOL. The fair one: Abi, Jack and Will making finale The “well…” one: Abi, Will and Triston making finale The outrageous one: All-Male finale. Will, Triston and Jack. So I don’t really see it as straight forward tbh. Only two things would be really shocking to me: Emmy making through or Will NOT making through.
