This is absolutely sublime! When the song started, my 4 year old daughter stopped moving, listened intently and said, “mommy, she has a beautiful voice; it’s like flowers!” Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Kids are smarter than we usually give them credit. She knew flowers were beautiful and so was her voice, so connected the two. Youre raising a fine young lady, you gotta be one proud momma!
That is a perfect statement of how I became a fan of hers from this audition. I never felt this strongly towards an Idol contestant since Carrie Underwood. So very happy she won, makes me think all is right with the world for others to see the same.
She just walks into a room with 3 music superstars and put them and us in a 2 minute trance like the whole world melted away and all that mattered was feeling her voice and living in that moment.
The best singer doesn't always win. It comes down to the preferences of the viewing audience. She is definitely going to be one of the best this year but that is no guarantee that she will win. Also, there are other very talented performers who have put on a great show in their auditions. When they have to start showing their versatility with some different genres and they have to perform in different settings including having the band and stage lights and bigger crowds some performers rise to the top. She certainly is a great singer, though.
Usually some cornball country boy who has never played in front of a crowd wins. America usually gets it wrong. This young lady should win it all...but don't be surprised if that little 15-year old country kid wins.
The way she sang that song brought out so much emotion in me. She really touched my heart. In tears. I absolutely loved her from the beginning, then she shared her voice with us… there are no words to express the gift God has given her. 💜
The mom listening at the door, a single tear on her cheek waiting to hear if the judges were clapping, priceless … great audition, nice family, sweet kid!
That’s a superstar right there. This is the purest you will see her, from now on she will be transformed into what American Idol and the music industry want her to be.
At the airport waiting for my connecting flight to go stand by my little brother for his wedding and this girl brought me to tears. Truly god given gift. So excited for what life has in store for her and her family. I could watch this over and over and not tire of it.
I love the original because I’m a big Billie eilish fan. But man, the emotion in this had me in tears too. This is what music is about. Making people feel something. And she’s going to be a superstar.
She brought me to tears with her beautiful voice. What made me cry even more was to see the pure love of her brother lying on the floor just to listen to his little sister sing and her other sister running to her for a hug. Wow, she's a blessing. Her whole family is blessed to have each other.
Crying like a baby. As a 70 year old, I can say that I have been really touched by a few singers over the years. But none as much as I was by the beauty, passion & sincerity of this beautiful young lady. The pain that she has endured in her young life, I believe has been much; and it was all there in that moment. May the God who blessed you with that voice bless you & open doors for you to share your gift with the world. We will be better for it. Bless you. 🙏
Her support system in her hometown Indio, CA is HUGE. Before she left for Hollywood this week, the city coordinated a free concert for her to perform in front of a 1,000+ people. She was AMAZING based on the you tube downloads I saw. She truly is a NATURAL at this singing and entertaining stuff. She is off to a great start 😉
I seldom cry while listening a song but with this, I can’t hold my tears. She delivers the song with amazing emotion and the voice was really meant for the song. I haven’t heard the song before but I absolutely love it with her rendition. I hope she’ll make it to the top…God’s grace.
More than once he leaned back and was seemingly looking for a reaction from the other judges that yes 'wtf are we hearing? Is this real lol?' He called it...
She is nothing short of Amazing!!!! I've listened to this so many times now. She makes me sob!!!!! Soooo good! Hope she wins it all!!!!!!! What a voice.
I had never heard this song before so have nothing to compare it to but absolutely the best audition ever on american idol with a song i have fallen in love with.
The original by Billie Eilish is even better. Billie purposely sings it in a soft, whispy voice to sound as if she's just been crying and to convey vulnerability. A very hard way to sing. Billie's original is the best, but this came close.
When I hear a performance like this I think just think how wonderful of a gift this young woman has. She has such a beautiful voice it brings you into tears of joy!
As her family rushed in to hug her - Luke saying dont hurt that child ☺️😆 evryone weeping pure tears of joy cos Abi just blew the roof off the building 😮🎉❤🙌✨👌💗🫂
Father of five and I can’t wait to see the look on my kids face like this young lady had when she earned the recognition she worked hard for … very talented young lady ..
So as Abi rolls through Idol and makes it to the final 3 cause we all know she will, they usually get to sing they're audition sing again on the FINAL night. By then we as fans will be so emotionally charged pulling for our favorite singer. If and when this happens for Abi 🤞 and she sings this CLASSIC song again in that moment, I will literally start SOBBING 😢😭 Hell I cry watching this video and we aren't even fully vested yet. NOT only is she an INCREDIBLE talent, she comes across as GENUINE a human being as they come 😉
@@victoriakawesa3558 Yeah, then Idol only lets her sing half of her new single, and a reprise of What was I Made for at the end which was better than nothing, BUT she was not in the right frame of mind to sing that song....
I have only 2 or 3 songs that I can listen to that I know came straight from there heart. I’ve added this young lady to it and will play it over and over when ever I need a lift. Thank you for sharing your heart with us!!!❤
So humble and down to earth and then just the most amazing talent I have heard on American Idol in many years and I have watched the show from season one.
I feel sorry for all the other contestants. They don’t stand a chance. Abi is truly gifted, but she’s humble too. She’s the real deal. Looking forward to hearing more from her.
I think Billie would also stand up and Applaud!
This is absolutely sublime! When the song started, my 4 year old daughter stopped moving, listened intently and said, “mommy, she has a beautiful voice; it’s like flowers!” Couldn’t have said it better myself!
"It's like flowers", that's cute. ☺
Out of the mouth of babes!! 🥰
🥲
Kids are smarter than we usually give them credit. She knew flowers were beautiful and so was her voice, so connected the two. Youre raising a fine young lady, you gotta be one proud momma!
That line from your baby might the coolest thing I’ve heard in 57 years ❤️
She is a winner already, in 3 minutes she won the hearts of hundreds of thousands here on YT. That's a Win and she's just begun.
I'm a 70 year old guy.....never heard of this song, never heard of this young lady. But I have tears and I haven't cried in years. God bless her.
Listen Billy Eilish sing it then you’ll understand it.
Song just won an Oscar. You should check the original artist, Billie Eilish, singing it live at Coachella Chicago. It killed me, and I'm your age.
You're heaven sent sir!
I loved it, too. Felt the same.
Please listen to Billie Eilish...she wrote the song and sings it.
“I’ve never heard the crew clap” says it all.
That's the ticket.
The brother listening through the gap under the door saying how talented his sister is.....as beautiful as her performance.
Just pure family love ❤.
They couldn't wait for her to get out. So beautiful
Amen
ahhhhmen@@robinpesek3657
The brother is a creep
no that is stupid theatrics. you fell for it
The second she started singing I got goosebumps. She is so talented. Sweet and humble. Gorgeous too
Everyone talking about her singing of course. But also, what a gifted pianist!!
Forreal her dynamics and accents are crazy
🩵🩵🩵
sure buddy
She is the total package!!! Perfect...
It’s pretty amazing how you can tell that someone you’ve never met is just a pure and beautiful soul. Bravo Abi! That was simply genius…
That is a perfect statement of how I became a fan of hers from this audition. I never felt this strongly towards an Idol contestant since Carrie Underwood. So very happy she won, makes me think all is right with the world for others to see the same.
The cry in the voice set her apart and the power in her voice was undeniable to the judges.
raw emotion, pure talent. Her piano skills are incredible too. Plus she has a wonderful supportive family. About as real as it gets.
She just walks into a room with 3 music superstars and put them and us in a 2 minute trance like the whole world melted away and all that mattered was feeling her voice and living in that moment.
Love this comment
Very good description
4:38 4:38
She could stop wars
Amen!!! 100%!
Billie Eilish would be so proud. I hope she hears this. I'm so happy she made it her own but kept the nuances of the melody.
It was almost as good as Billie's. Did anyone notice Luke was crying?
Same here I hope Billie and finneas listen to this
It's a bit all over the place in timing and trying to use frills and adlibs, but the emotion, vocals and piano play are absolutely great.
Definitely someone needs to tag Billie ❤❤❤
I highly doubt this is the first time an Eilish family creation was co opted by less aware and far narrower insights or that it will be the last.
This audition was sooo beautiful, it made me cry. She did justice to Billie Eilish...WOW
I honestly think it’s better. She out Billied billie
She is a beautiful soul. Her whole heart is in.
She’s going to win American Idol 2024
No doubt about it.
The best singer doesn't always win. It comes down to the preferences of the viewing audience. She is definitely going to be one of the best this year but that is no guarantee that she will win. Also, there are other very talented performers who have put on a great show in their auditions. When they have to start showing their versatility with some different genres and they have to perform in different settings including having the band and stage lights and bigger crowds some performers rise to the top. She certainly is a great singer, though.
Most Definitely!!!!
One name: Jennifer Hudson 4th on idol. And then...EGOT
Usually some cornball country boy who has never played in front of a crowd wins. America usually gets it wrong. This young lady should win it all...but don't be surprised if that little 15-year old country kid wins.
The love she got from her family. They didn't give a damn about the stars in the room. That's so much love, wow.
The way she sang that song brought out so much emotion in me. She really touched my heart. In tears. I absolutely loved her from the beginning, then she shared her voice with us… there are no words to express the gift God has given her. 💜
To me too...❤
Amen
.me too
Me too fr 😢♥️💙
Aloha ❤
Standing ovation by judges says it all! Terrific singing!
And the crew had never clapped. So cool!
Her control and maturity are astounding for someone her age.
The mom listening at the door, a single tear on her cheek waiting to hear if the judges were clapping, priceless … great audition, nice family, sweet kid!
i keep going back to 2:32 to watch a mother's love for her baby girl, so moving with that single tear
That’s a superstar right there. This is the purest you will see her, from now on she will be transformed into what American Idol and the music industry want her to be.
ok
As soon as she started on the piano you knew she was good, an amazing piano player is never gonna have a bad voice.
That does seem to be the case
At the airport waiting for my connecting flight to go stand by my little brother for his wedding and this girl brought me to tears. Truly god given gift. So excited for what life has in store for her and her family. I could watch this over and over and not tire of it.
I've listened to this 50 times.. totally mesmerizing.....
The finesse, the control, and that EDGE!!!!! She is going to win. If she stays true to her sound, she will win. Im astounded.
Up there with Billie
...and Abi did. Win.
My goodness... she brought me to tears. Incredible voice.... and sweet soul. Wow.
It’s the moms tear for me, as a parent your children can make your heart fill with love so easy
She owns this song now!!!!
I love the original because I’m a big Billie eilish fan. But man, the emotion in this had me in tears too. This is what music is about. Making people feel something. And she’s going to be a superstar.

Her Bro laying down watching underneath the door and the big family hug was a vibe. awesome vid

You can tell she can sing by her speaking voice, projection and confidence before she even starts to sing.
I can’t stop viewing this!
The piano-playing too!
You can tell she "had to go someplace" to sing that way. Amazing.
I am also in tears. AMAZING TALENT!!!!!!
ME too, has been an emotional day for me, now I'm bawling again. She did Billie proud ❤❤❤❤
Me too. WOW!
I'm balling here 🤥😭❤️🔥🙌👏🫶
Dear God, how did that babygirl put a lifetime of soul, headache and raw emotion in such an angelic, 21 year old voice?!? Her voice is EXQUISITE.
That was everything..... Definitely an anointed voice and vessel. She did a beautiful job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She sounded Flawless! Amazing voice 👏
I seldom cry while listening a song but with this, I can’t hold my tears. She delivers the song with amazing emotion and the voice was really meant for the song. I haven’t heard the song before but I absolutely love it with her rendition. I hope she’ll make it to the top…God’s grace.
Please listen to original singer too. She has an angelic voice.
She was brilliant. I'm 80 and that was one of the best songs i've ever heard anyone sing. I loved it.
Luke's reaction cracks me up. Like he cannot believe what he is hearing.
More than once he leaned back and was seemingly looking for a reaction from the other judges that yes 'wtf are we hearing? Is this real lol?' He called it...
She is nothing short of Amazing!!!! I've listened to this so many times now. She makes me sob!!!!! Soooo good! Hope she wins it all!!!!!!! What a voice.
Truly gifted young Lady. The song always makes me cry.
I'm still crying. That was just beautiful. Everything about this audition was amazing. im so glad I got to hear this.
Billie sings it beautifully as well.
Of course! It's her song. lol. I hope Billie shows up to watch Abi win. :-)
WELL, OF COURSE!
When Katie said, “what were you made for?….this” got me choked up.
Wow!! My favorite definitely!! She seems so humble too!! You have the world in front of you, TAKE IT!!
What an honor that these talented artists give back by making time to do this. That’s really neat!
I'm in tears she got a amazing voice ❤
I had never heard this song before so have nothing to compare it to but absolutely the best audition ever on american idol with a song i have fallen in love with.
Debbie, you need to watch Barbie, both song and movie are TOP NOTCH!
Spoiler alert: She does it better than the original
The original by Billie Eilish is even better. Billie purposely sings it in a soft, whispy voice to sound as if she's just been crying and to convey vulnerability. A very hard way to sing. Billie's original is the best, but this came close.
@@frankieandtheflowersNo, she really doesn't! 🤡
Daughter wiping away mums tears whilst trying to listen at the door 💗

Get a grip. People are so weird in youtube comments.
I'm glad it touched you I believe she will be the winner of Idol 2024. I hope you get enjoyment from the rest of her performances ❤. God bless!
