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.
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
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
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.
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
You would never ever think that voice would come out of Julia 😭 she sounds so good
This is why they received the Platinum tickets. Holy crap
Exactly
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
Love this song! They killed it n made it their own...LOVE IT!
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 💯💯
😢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
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
Julia's voice can move mountains 💪🏻✨
And break glass.
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.
Best Hollywood Week performance of all times ! Dang!
no
@@PriscillaAvocadoJade yes
lol no. check out 2008' season 7 and 2011' season 10 Hollywood weeks
i agree
@@ChrisGarafola um.m.m. no
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!
All three were PHENOMENAL, but Julia is something else.
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!
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.
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.
They're so different musically yet they sound so great together
Abi Carter is a gift to music...
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.
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
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!
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.
THAT THREE PART HARMONY AT THE VERY END?! Come on y'all!!!
Odell’s voice ❤❤❤
The anointed showed up and showed out when Odell grabbed that mic!
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!
Goosebumps the moment Julia started singing but honestly, they all gave me goosebumps!!! They are all amazing!!! 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.
Who else listened more than once??
Me!
Me
Me. Can't stop listening to the trio ❤
Me.......goosebumps when listening. Such talent. Right up there at the top like well renowned artists
Me. It was such an amazing trio.
Best song in Hollywood Week ever. 👏👏👏👏👏
The girl in brown the middle has crazy vocals
Julia gagnon 🙏
Julia!!!!! Just wow!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 🇬🇧
Yeah!
She's a star ✨
True
abi's stage presence and can pull off emotional ❤
The arrangement was amazing.
Best platinum ticket contestant's that I've heard in a long time.
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..
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!
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.
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!!
@@DiamondBodyMedia '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!
All 3 of them are sensational singers, any of them can win this competition right now and get recording contracts!
When does Julia take in air? She’s amazing. 🎉 👏👏👏
paused and screamed the minute julia opened her mouth, actually screamed
These were honestly my favorite 3… they knew what they were doing with this one
Abi's voice is magical, yet pwerfil and she has stage presence! She's one of my favorites. ❤
I could listen to Abi Carter forever…can’t wait for more.
Julia, best technical ability. But, I'm looking forward to the unique sounding vocalists.
Julia has so much diversity in styles. Would love to see her do a gospel album. I think she’s this year's winner.
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.
They don’t need American idol, American idol needs them.
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!
You have your finalist right there!!! Incredible.
Now this is a proud moment in this season of American Idol ever.
The way that Julia walks up with her low head and then as she starts singing owns the scenario and spread her whole talent. Magic!
This is the best performance of any group I've seen on American Idol, EVER. WOW
They are all so so good! But Julia, my goodness! I love Idol!!!!
Insane ! Crazy vocals vote for them America
Abi carter you’re going to win American idol
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
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!
Odell's voice is distinctive and very good controlled.❤❤❤
WOW! Abi is an American Idol already!
Best Hollywood week song ever❤❤
Odell, you are phenomenal!!! 10/10
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
This full performance should’ve been aired on the actual episode wow 🤩
I totally agree!
I was in tears. Purely from the beauty of this trio’s voices.
Out of all three, Abi is probably more marketable, more commercial. But they’re all phenomenal!
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 😎
Abi is gonna be huge. She’s so good. But damn Julia is AMAZING
IDK, i think Julia just sounds like other singers. Shes great but to me she doesn't stand out.
Out of the three, Abi sounds the most unique.
Talent is strong this year. Tough choices.
WOW! Just have the finals now between those 3! Powerful!
Abi is gonna win it all! She grew up not to far from where me and my family live, rooting for her and her fam ❤
Yes
sorry to say she won't win unless she's blonde or country singer
@@yxuen3051 You don't have to be blonde or a country singer to win the show. Iam won last season and he ain't country. And we also had Just Sam who also isn't blonde. Abi is Facebook's number 1 favorite right now and they are the main demo that votes.
Abi is so SPECIAL. Shes got what it takes. Did you go to her free concert last Saturday night in Indigo 🤔 I would have DEFINITELY gone if I lived out that way but I'm from the midwest.
Chills! One as great as the next. Loved each of these contestants during their auditions. This so crazy! OMG!! So much talent. Who do you think will win?
Seems like Abi is in the lead right now.
Julia is everything
Wow just wow. The talents of these 3 artists are overflowing
Abi's voice has a beautiful and nearly hypnotic quality to it. Kind of reminds of of Amy Lee from Evanescence
All three is power house singers,they voice is amazing
That last girl!! 😮
Julia gagnon🙏🙏
"WOW!" is the word for this performance!
Come on. This is awesome. Platinum ticket truly.
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.
Holy moly!! I always read a few comments b4 listening so was expecting a great performance. But OMG that was absolutely 🔥🔥🔥. Exceeded my best expectations. I could listen to that on repeat all night.
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!!!!
The way Julia sang "California dreaming" 😮 so delightful
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.
All three are great but that girl playing piano is on another level.
Agreed. She's magical.
Abi's an incredible singer and her piano skills gives me Carole King vibes!
Abi is the "Natural"
omg julia's voice is awesome 👏👏👏
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.
Spectacular electrifying performance! Can't get any better than that!
Honestly you don't even see Grammy performances this good.
Wow! I’ve never heard a performance like this in any of the group performances on Idol ever! Powerful.
Julia ❤
Absolutely stunning! See? EVERYONE can sing.....HOW can you pick just ONE? 😳
Julia, Damn gurl...
Abi for the win! She has me and my entire family’s support!❤❤❤
A unique combination played to perfection 🎉
They all have beautiful voices, but something about Abi Carter just sticks with me!!!
