AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returns on ABC.
American Idol 2024
Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation are music industry forces and superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest continues as host of the beloved series, for the historic 22nd season.
This feels like a finale performance, its so good.
Yes it does. You can tell these 3 are well groomed and have had experience in other contests which they have, and been successful which both girls have had. They truly are all 3 naturally gifted and each have a quiet confidence about them. I saw ZERO nerves from all 3 like they were made for center stage 😎 I would be totally SHOCKED if one of these 3 do not make it to the Top 10. After that with fans voting who the hell knows 🤯
These 3 is gonna be in the finals!!!!! Wow!!!!!
Yup. The people sitting there don’t realize the spectacle they just watched. What they just did belongs in prime time finale. Amazing.
My exact thoughts!
Yes it does.
This was amazing!!! Abi's tone, Odell's precision and Julia's power are just out of this world
I'm kind of shocked how amazing that was. It felt like it should be an Oscars performance, or something out of a smash movie. Just incredible.
first time i feel every platinum ticket was 100% deserved WOW
Eh
actually
I could name 3 better singers in there right now then the girl who got the last one she got lucky because they almost forgot about giving it out she was literally the last contestant if she were really platinum worthy, they would’ve never forgot about it. She walked out with a gold ticket at first until they realized they didn’t give out the last platinum.
@@fantara499 and as for the better singer u have Isaiah case, Hailey Mia which is someone whose air time was cut last night they Literaly only played a split second of her performance and we’re talking over top her and as for the last I’d have to say kb 💯💯
@@fantara499 don’t get me wrong she is definitely a great singer but not as good as the other 3 I mentioned
THAT THREE PART HARMONY AT THE VERY END?! Come on y'all!!!
You would never ever think that voice would come out of Julia 😭 she sounds so good
Abi Carter is a gift to music...
This is why they received the Platinum tickets. Holy crap
Exactly
When Julia walks up and sings that first note…wow
I literally just started crying right then lol That was just a wonderful blend with all 3 of them
i started crying when she sang her first not too! Out of nowhere!! 😅 Powerful!!!
Woah Holy Spirit shows up!
Abi was better
👌🏽
The way Abi can seamlessly move through various vocals and tones and notes, so beautifully, I mean she's like a goddess on earth she really has an extraordinary gift. Her voice summons you to follow the journey and is mesmerizing without trying too hard or shouting, it feels like it's coming straight from her soul.
Wow! That's high praise!
Holy Wow… AMAZING! How did we jump from the auditions to the finale? !!!
Woooooooooooooow😮
RIGHT!?!?! Wow is so right!
I agree
Agreed true winners here truly
😂😂😂 true
Julia's voice can move mountains 💪🏻✨
And break glass.
This full performance should’ve been aired on the actual episode wow 🤩
I totally agree!
Abi and Julia have 2 different voices, but they both are so damn good. I mean it’s something. Hard to choose between those two, I get the feels from Abi, but I get the soul from Julia and I’ve alway had a thing for big voices.
😢I absolutely love that each of their solos had a different musical arrangement, and they all were given equal time to showcase their brow raising vocals before coming together to blow the roof off that place while simultaneously snatching at everyone's scalps and edges!!!😂
You should be an entertainment beat writer. You captured it!
I’m agree with you
Abi’s voice is hauntingly beautiful, Odell has so much weight and soul in his voice and Julia’s voice just pierce through your heart. All three distinct singers yet they don’t drown each other and makes every word out of their mouths believable.
Agree
They make a great trio!
Excellent ! I praise God for such talented singers!
All three were PHENOMENAL, but Julia is something else.
Any other year Abi would have won easy..but this year the talent is through the stratosphere..just crazy!!
she wouldn't able to win as she isn't blonde
@@yxuen3051I hope you're wrong.
She's not a country/ folk male contestant, those seem to be favoured
@@fujiapple9675 I watch AI since 2008, it is an indisputable fact
@@yxuen3051 I will vote for her like crazy.
Cool! The first ones is a star! The next sets the bar higher! The last one just simply makes the bar unreachable!😂😂
And she’s not even close to the best
2 best females no question
@@autk hailey Mia was far better
@@woodahkillah5583 you must be a relative :D
@@Aidan_Smith84 not at all she killed her audition and they didn’t even let her first performance play all the way through they cut her air time 💯💯
My favorite is Abi but Julia's voice was like a freighttrain or a tsunami wave coming from the distance and arriving with a boom. So incredible.
I have a feeling that Julia Gagnon will win this season 🎶🎵🎤
She's definitely got a shot. This year there are definitely tons of talented singers though
What has just happened? A Grammy worth performance!
Totally agree. Better than the Judges could deliver together that is for sure. They should sing this at the Grammy's
They're so different musically yet they sound so great together
Look at abi admiring odell 's awesome voice when he started singing
The amount of unnecessary runs is making me nauseated.
At 1:17 and 1:27
Yah. The runs were a bit much
Yep, Abis a young pro already. Just handles the stage so naturally, like she's made for this moment 😉😊😋😎
@@anonymous-yq9jo I think those runs are a cheap trick to make this sound more epic than it is.
All 3 are remarkable vocalists but for me there is just something about Abi Carter.
you got that right mate
I agree!! Abi Carter for the win!!
her feel, sense of urgency, seems like she leaves it out everytime
See my comment above. She is perfection. Over Dion, Streisand, you name them. The voice of a generation.
Plus she plays the piano which is huge to me. Maybe the others do as well , not sure
Odell’s voice ❤❤❤
The anointed showed up and showed out when Odell grabbed that mic!
that mightve been the best and I mean the best 3 person performance in American idol history wthhhhh
I totally agree!!!!
AGREE
I totally agree! It was mind-blowingly good!
Make them Top 3 already!! 🙌
With the amount of content and episodes American Idol is cutting, that will happen sooner than any of us would prefer. All 3 will probably be Top 24.
Julia doesn't even realize how incredible voice she has. Humble, shy , bullied, not experienced in music. Just natural gift. She is a fenomenal natural talent. More to grow. My favorite this season.
I hope Julia never gets commercialized , she needs to be signed , coached and guided. I see great things for her.
Seriously, how can you pick just one?? They were all phenomenal.
They all get through this round (they're the platinum tickets), this is for the first round of Hollywood Idol Arena, so this is basically an extra performance, I think.
I agree. Send all three of them on tour right now together!
Goosebumps the moment Julia started singing but honestly, they all gave me goosebumps!!! They are all amazing!!! Wow!!
It really sounds like the judges were super spot on this season in regards to the Platinum Ticket. Wouldn't be surprised if they got to be the very Top 3.
Honestly you don't even see Grammy performances this good.
Best song in Hollywood Week ever. 👏👏👏👏👏
The arrangement was amazing.
Best platinum ticket contestant's that I've heard in a long time.
Wow, that was out of the roof good. 3 winners right there
THis is hands down the best version of this song. Super 10's
abi's stage presence and can pull off emotional ❤
All three are incredible! Abi is a true American Idol. She can sing ANY genre. She has the look. She is the complete package!
they all have 'the look'. grow up.
I agree!! Abi will win!!
@@DiamondBodyHealing 'The look' is not a reference to physical appearance. It's about presence, demeanor, and confidence. It's about what children look up to and aspire to emulate. She is also an accomplished pianist and songwriter. That is 'the look' of an American Idol!
30 times. I’m a very old singer and think I’ve heard every lauded semi and professional singer from the last 60 years. Abi Carter is beyond perfection. I’ve had full body goosebumps a few times and I’ve been brought to tears but never at the same time. When you mix perfect pitch, a crystal pure tone and heart with one of the most beautiful songs written in the last 70 years you have a slice of heaven.
I could listen to Abi Carter forever…can’t wait for more.
OMG this what an absolutely amazing combination of Abi, Odell, and Julia, WOW!!! Even Lionel Richie said “Wow” when Julia came out with that powerhouse note!!
These were honestly my favorite 3… they knew what they were doing with this one
All 3 of them are sensational singers, any of them can win this competition right now and get recording contracts!
Now this is a proud moment in this season of American Idol ever.
Insane ! Crazy vocals vote for them America
Folks, if you haven't listened to this with a decent headset, I highly recommend it. Wow! The subtleties and control in all of their voices is just as impressive as their power. These three are so far ahead of most of the others that I can't help but imagine a lot of them are scared stiff watching this
This performance had to have intimidated the shit out of them. Probably thinking what's the point to even continue in this competition if that's what I have to beat
You're absolutely right!
You have your finalist right there!!! Incredible.
Odell, you are phenomenal!!! 10/10
This is the best performance of any group I've seen on American Idol, EVER. WOW
Abi just has it all. She connected emotionally to this song as she did to the one in her audition! She is already a star!
That's why I'm voting for Julia! Ani already will get exposure and become a star. I love Guatemala and have sponsored a gal there for 10 years . With the group Unbound.
This was a masterful performance! I love that they each got their moment to shine in their strengths with their own arrangements and then came together beautifully! They all ate and left no crumbs.
When Abi opened on top notes and had those beautiful runs I had chills. Her tones cuts right through to the heart!
Odell is just a monster of a vocalist. He can do it all. That voice has a story to tell! His tone is so warm and round and he controls everything register and run so expertly.
Ms. Julia right here blew the roof off the place. She is a powerhouse. Everything sounds so full and round. She sang as if this was the last time she would ever be able to sing. That was one of the best vocals I’ve ever heard!
Wow wow wow. All 3 are amazing. Abi really took it to the next level to hang with Julia & O'Dell. Stellar performances. Took us CHURCH ⛪
Abi was the best of the 3.
Julia was the best..
Abi ......all the way...her tone is stunning! Shes humble, beautiful, and the main thing....her voice is breathtaking.
Listen to when all three sing together...her tone stands out a mile!!!!
I've watched every episode of every season been lucky enough to have gone to 4 tapings and this seriously is on of the best group performances and Platinum Ticket winning trio's ever. Julia come on, that voice is god given!!
Julia is the BEST singer...but Abi is the TOTAL package.
Best Hollywood week song ever❤❤
Abi doing the harmony when Julia was singing. So good my ears!
They were all powerfully good,! Never heard California dreaming sung like that
OMG! Goosebumps! Abi Carter reminds me of Angie Miller of Season 12 especially her smooth runs.
So trueee I love Angie miller
I still watch her original she did. Fire
I LOVED Angie Miller.... but what ever happened with her? She's not well known after idol......
yes Angie Miller shud have won
Wow! That's actually a perfect comparison!
Wow that was incredible! Odell has a big voice and lots of range. Lots of runs from him but I love that! I love when people are over the top with their runs. I can't get enough of that! Give me more! More! More! He is just so amazing! And Julia? She has runs for days as well. Love her tone. So sick! I am up here standing, screaming, and hollering! And I am also throwing all my shoes and all my wigs are snatched. Abi is also incredible! I loved that they didn't outshine each other. They knew it wasn't a battle to compete against each other. They just gave us a Grammy Award Performance. Abi has tone and range for days. They are all gonna win the show! They all deserve it. Also check out Abi's amazing single! She has the best single out of three people so far. I am obsessed.
Mr. Heroshades, I agree 100% with everything you said. And YES I love Abi's single to. She sang it live at her Indigo, CA sendoff concert last Saturday night, someone downloaded it on you tube after the show. It's a cool tune that just has such a positive upbeat tone to it. She has, along with the other two singers, star power. All 3 are GUARANTEED top 24 and then it's up to the fans after that as it always turns into a popularity contest once the fans start voting as it should. The fans are the ones buying the music and going to see them in concert. Good thing for Abi is her state California is massive. I would think with that gigantic state as you're voting audience, it won't hurt you're chances. I think she gets a record deal in the bag win or lose. She has the TOTAL package. INCREDIBLE talent, looks, confidence, personality. Maybe a little more polished than the other 2, JUST my opinion. How can you NOT love Abi 🤔 😎🤩😍
@@bradcrawford1998 Agreed! I'm a California person as well and will be voting for her! They are all talented as well.
Runs in moderation are fantastic. Overusing runs is kind of lame and a bit of a crutch imo
The way Julia sang "California dreaming" 😮 so delightful
"WOW!" is the word for this performance!
I was in tears. Purely from the beauty of this trio’s voices.
Odell's voice is distinctive and very good controlled.❤❤❤
All three is power house singers,they voice is amazing
I got the chills with Julia's first note. Holy moly! These three can SING 🎶
omg julia's voice is awesome 👏👏👏
I would not be mad at all if one of these three wins. If I were to pick though I’d go with Abi since she can stir up emotions the most
Spectacular electrifying performance! Can't get any better than that!
WOW! Just have the finals now between those 3! Powerful!
The girl in brown the middle has crazy vocals
Julia gagnon 🙏
UNDENIABLY JULIA EXCEEDED FROM ALL❤❤❤❤❤❤
Come on. This is awesome. Platinum ticket truly.
Abi for the win! She has me and my entire family’s support!❤❤❤
Julia, best technical ability. But, I'm looking forward to the unique sounding vocalists.
Talent is strong this year. Tough choices.
This is this first test where I feel like they got the platinum ticket winners right. All three of their voices are strong and clear and they can all hit such beautiful and precise runs!!! Amazing these three!!! One of them will win.
They are all so so good! But Julia, my goodness! I love Idol!!!!
That was the best performance of the whole competition so far. WOW, WOW, WOW.
Wow, absolutely phenomenal!! As soon as Julia started to sing, instant chills all down my body. I could listen to a whole album of her music. Her voice is so rich. Her tone is so lovely to listen to.
Each of the 3 were enhanced by the other!
@@wtcarter2 you're right! I think so too.
Wow! I’ve never heard a performance like this in any of the group performances on Idol ever! Powerful.
Out of all three, Abi is probably more marketable, more commercial. But they’re all phenomenal!
Wow. This performance was so amazing that it almost makes one believe that California is worth dreamin’ about. 😂
I like that the second singer actually used the originally written lyrics and not the accident that was recorded. This way is much better!
If it was a contest, the second singer is the best. I think people might slightly underestimate him because his tone is not super uncommon among great gospel singers, however, he doesn’t sound forced, and his consistency in how everything he does is so relaxed and effortless makes him greater than just really great. His voice is super powerful; he just decides where he wants the melody to go and POOF! He’s there! Maybe he is a robot. Yes, they are all fantastic. He is just other-worldly. I really love the relaxed and contemporary sound of the first singer, as well. Her tone is beautiful. And that head voice, wow. She doesn’t sound forced. But these three were perfect for this song, weren’t they? And even Mama Cass would have approved, especially of that last singer. lol
Julia!!!!! Just wow!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 🇬🇧
Yeah!
She's a star ✨
True
Abi and Julia are my favorites ❤❤
Abi Carter ❤ routing for her! She’s my favorite. She can will this whole thing! ❤
Julia has so much diversity in styles. Would love to see her do a gospel album. I think she’s this year's winner.
SPECTACULAR!!! Absolutely, I would pay to see these three perform together!! This is a song from my Era and they absolutely did it justice!! Loved it!
All the goose bumps ❤❤❤, I can't stop rewatching it
Wow just wow. The talents of these 3 artists are overflowing
Mark my words the first one with the bow playing the piano is going to go very very far and be very famous I see it .
You were right and she won is doing her music her way currently 😍😍😍
This is epic! Need to do this again!!!
Lost for words.Absolutely majestic,God bless them.
A unique combination played to perfection 🎉
They are all INCREDIBLE ❤
Abi is the entire package voice piano looks and personality a super star 💫 in the making
This should be recorded and played on the radio! Damn that was awesome! 🎉
Instant chills when abi opened her mouth
She is so SPECIAL. There are VERY few past Idol contestants I would pay to see live. Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry, Hunter Girl, Carrie Underwood, and Abi. I would pay GOOD $$$ to see Abi Carter right now. I think she has legit SUPERSTAR written all over her 😎
When does Julia take in air? She’s amazing. 🎉 👏👏👏
High standard of Music. So pure
I'm speechless, this is absolutely amazing.. they are all wonderful unique in there own way. But, Julia wow, wow, wow. She deffinetley has a fever soul, people in her she's really good.
