I did not know Mickey Guyton is a former contestant. I see she didn’t make it far. She’s a vocal beast, what happened? 

Some of these people I'm fans of but had no idea that they were on the show. Maybe they just got cut in Hollywood or never shown or something I dunno.

She made it all the way to the Top 50 of S7.  She was cut right before the Top 24...  Like most contestants, her time on the show was not really showcase.  Again, some of the best vocalist that we all know auditioned for the show, and did not make it far, like Amber Riley or Hillary Scott from Lady A.

There are a lot of stories like that. Maren Morris auditioned numerous times for both The Voice and AI. Granted, she’s not exactly a top notch vocalist. Luke Combs made it through several of the producer rounds on TV, and got cut right before blind auditions. His rejection letter said they didn’t feel like he was interesting enough for the audience. That’s probably the best thing that could have happened to him.

whatever that "Idol Hour" thing is sounds like an IDF nightmare :dead:  if so we definitely need an update of what happens there 💀

The Close-Up Stage is basically just an in-person panel discussion / interview-esque thing. I doubt any juicy gossip will get spilled, since American Idol is one of CMA Fest’s sponsors. Likely just them talking about the Idol experience, how it’s benefitted their careers post-show, and Chayce/Colin/Huntergirl will give advice to Jack and Will for CMA Fests since they’ve done them in prior years. :haha:

 

Though prior to the finale, it was listed as “with the top two from the current season” so clearly something happened that Jack is there instead of Abi. :dead:

And for anyone who didn’t know, anyone who made the Top 50 during that era of Idol was ineligible to reaudition until they changed it (many) seasons later.

If they only have Will and Jack from the current season that's the least representation they have had from the current season in a long time. So that would be disappointing. 

I wouldn't say in a long time. Two years ago, they only had Noah and Huntergirl there for that season (and in 2019, it was just Laine). Last year was kind of the outlier with having so many of them.

Ahh that was the only time I paid attention I guess.

lol, yeah. There's been no real rhyme or reason to how they do it.

 

S16 - Gabby & Michael on Friday, Caleb & Cade on Saturday, Maddie on Sunday

S17 - Laine & Bobby Bones

S18/S19 - n/a, no CMA Fest those two years

S20 - Noah & Huntergirl; both also performed a duet with Chayce during his show

S21 - Iam, Megan, Colin, Wé, Haven for the M&G; Colin did a separate event with Noah and also performed with him

S22 - Jack and Will [so far]

 

S16 and S17 were when they had the Idol tent outside, but the others have been inside Fan Fair. I imagine they'll announce some more stuff closer to the event (like they have before), because them not even bothering to bring the winner out seems weird. :rofl:

Yeah I do think they are likely to add more people they probably just haven't done it yet. I don't think they would abandon their winner and Loretta Lynn's granddaughter who probably lives like 10 minutes away.

I noticed that Elissa Felman, the 19R executive who wrangles the Idol contestants, hasn’t posted since the finale and doesn’t appear to follow any of this year’s singers on IG.
