    ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
    AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in March 2019 for its second season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2018, as the Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering 23 cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. 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 will return as host of the beloved series.

    I am 24 years old, and I’ve watched this dude’s audition countless times in the last 3 days. He just seems SO humble, so laid back, but honestly, something inside of me feels like he STILL doesn’t think he’s good enough, or have the courage you think he’d have by now after all of this praise and acknowledgment of how truly talented he is. I couldn’t agree more with the comments of people stating that he is a literal musical genius. I LOVE music, and something about the way this guy plays it, as well as sings it, hits me in a way that nothing else ever has. He is just insanely great… it’s scary to be honest.

    At 1:07 - his verses finger plucking is soo talented causes he’s plucking, playing a syncopated time, playing a slight snare drum rhythm & playing bass all at the same time. He can differentiate the different percussions, bass & lead melodies by palm muting & keeping the bottom of his palm on the higher pitch strings & letting the bass notes hold a sustain.

    Not even kidding about how in another level this guy is. Not only instrument wise but writing and vocally. This guy is gonna blow up regardless of winning idol or not. Guaranteed he tours with the likes of John Mayer or someone like him.

    Totally talented...undeniable finalist this year. His talent is on another level comparing to other competitors... "I have not played in a minute" and then boom, some sort of Mozart class on the piano appears. This guy is a humble, talented, incredible artist with a distinct voice

      If you watch closely he's picking the intricate parts with both hands, kind of like EVH only picking instead of tapping. Incredibly hard.

      @user-cv3dp7xb3y 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@brianb8830 it's not really that hard at all. Alternate finger picking is a medium skill level. People just like to bandwagon and make up whatever. No offense though. If you played the guitar you would know what you're talking about.

I just hope he doesn't get swallowed up by the masses. His unassuming and humble attitude is what even makes him more special. Love him! I hope he does well. I will be rooting for him.

      Cynthia, Alejandro uses his stage name: Scarypoolparty on all social media and music platforms. He has a lot of music in many different genres out right now, but he’s releasing a 21 song double album (11 songs with orchestra) on 8/27. So exciting!! This album will include music most similar to what he performed on American Idol. Follow and subscribe to Scarypoolparty aka Alejandro Aranda so you don’t miss out on new music and concert info. 🤩😉

      Totally agree as it’s the ONLY season I’ve ever watched from start to finish and it was solely because of Alejandro aka Scarypoolparty. Lol
      On 8/27 AA releases a 21 song double album (11 songs with orchestra). Don’t miss this one! He finally released an official cut of “Poison” Friday 8/13 and it’s amazing!! Be sure to check it out. It’s on all music platforms under his stage name:Scarypoolparty. The album is rumored to have “Blesser” on it, but can’t guarantee that. Lol Follow and subscribe so you don’t miss new music and concert announcements. He’s touring with X Ambassadors beginning mid October. He’s performing in some major festivals before the Fall tour.

      Katy Perry doesn’t even write her own music, she couldn’t keep her marriage with Russell Brand, and she has made a mockery of herself countless times on American Idol. I’m an Australian girl, and I don’t believe she has the talent to critique Alejandro. Lionel Ritchie was blown away, and I trust him more that bubblegum pop Perry. Grow up Katy Perry!!!! Long Live Alejandro!!!!!!

      He’s a dishwasher, he has had severe depression. He’s the most humble, self-taught musician I’ve witnessed in my 37 years. He IS grounded. He doesn’t need Katy Perry to tell him how it is. He is a genius.
