idolfan1234 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I saw on Mjsblog that Just Sam is going to be performing on Sundays show. Does she have new music out? Haven't heard from her in a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelseyW Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I respect her hard work and not giving up attitude. SO happy for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1key Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 just a reminder that Sam now uses they/them pronouns (which i hope the show respects on Sunday...)! i'm really excited to finally see them back! their interview with the Washington Post last December was fascinating to read (i recommend if you haven't already). them ending up back in the subway stations was a pretty viral headline last year so i'm interested to see if that is acknowledged in any way on air. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorty. It’s going to be hard for me to use the they/them pronouns, but I’ll try. I hope things are going well for them now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1key Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6GhlaXrDJ4/?igsh=MWE5ZXdsdnJwaTNweg== the caption of this post was honestly very hard for me to read. i feel like we do not emphasize how devastating this situation was for Sam and how Idol simply just... ignored them throughout it. Idol completely exploited and capitalized off of their backstory, naivety, and dreams of success just to totally drop them. i am glad to see they have been able to have a positive and grateful attitude through it all, but it is still just really unsettling. kinda sad they are going back to Idol because they could have probably made a grueling documentary to expose them.

ptebwwong Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) A few months ago, I heard that Just Sam was being mentored by Ja Rule. They were on a talk show together. He was working on new music with her so maybe now it's ready. Edited April 25 by ptebwwong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’m glad they’re getting a chance to come back and perform, at least. It seemed like the show just pretended they didn’t exist once S19 kicked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the show used to cling on to contestants in the hope they could make a few dollars off them. Now they kick them out of the door and lock it immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytake1 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Idol's probably trying save face, lol. They got some bad publicity of Sam's plight after the show. But we know that Idol's always had their pecking order of favorites - aka those who had post-show success. Yeah a girl won - Maddie Poppe. But notice Idol invited both Gabby Barrett and Catie Turner back as mentors and not Maddie. I like Catie, but Maddie would have been a good fit last year mentoring songwriting with Phillip Phillips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just brought back Lauren Spencer Smith to perform & she was on the same season as Just Sam. They never brought back Trent Harmon, LaPorsha, Nick Fradiani, Clark Beckham, etc. back to perform post-Idol. This didn't just start with ABC Idol.

They bring back alumni all the time... Last season they brought back Noah Thompson and HunterGirl to perform, and the season before that Chayce Beckham and Alejandro Aranda.
