Gosh, I so agree with what Katie's just said: "From day one it's been you... and tonight it's always been you". There's sth about her voice and the emotion she brings up through her singing that is so special and just makes her stand out. To me, this was the best performance of the night! Congratulations Abi!!!

I keep coming back to Sarah Bareilles. If you listen to her singing this song, it's on the same level. Abi has so much of the same vocal tones and that is boding well for a long successful career. I hope she wins it all....

It may bode well for a successful career, it may not. How many more Sarah Bareilles types doing the same exact style do we need? She's talented, no doubt. But, she needs an X factor to stand apart and survive in the industry.

CHILLS! Best of the night and possibly her very best since her audition ... well done Abi!

Abi is a natural-she sings like an angel on earth-the purity of her tone, the emotional connection she brings to every song is soul inspiring. Even if she doesn't "win" AI this year (because when there are good country singers on the show (and there are 4 this time around), they tend to take home the prize), she will become a mega superstar. I can't wait to go to one of her sold out concerts!

Abi has such an ethereal, angelic quality to her voice- she takes me to another realm where I find tears rolling down my face. She touches somewhere deep in my heart. I absolutely love her!!!!!!

Same experience here. I just commented too that she brings tears to my eyes.

Her voice is absolutely amazing.

Actually an homage to Sara Barellies version of the same song, both just fantastic

When ever I am amazed, thrilled, and drawn in by a performance my eyes tear up. When Abi sings, it happens everytime. When I heard her perform what was I made for, it took about 20 time before the tears stopped, these are tears of admiration, of something very rare and special.

This performance took my breath away.❤️🙌💯

One of the best performances on Idol. Ever.

Every season there's one performance that's so outstanding you just have to go back and listen to it over and over again. This year it's Abi Carter's rendition of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Simply amazing. Music in its purest form. No excessive (and annoying) runs, no over-singing or compressing the tonal range, just a beautiful conduit for talent to flow and the rest of us to enjoy. All I can say is WOW!

It was highly produced. Maybe even auto-tuned. She had a few flat notes but it didn't detract from the performance in it's entirety. Very Sara Bareilles.

This was many many times better than last week. So much better than last weeks performance. ABI IS BACK IN IT TO WIN IT!!! She is definitely in my top 3 if not my favorite to win this season.

Abi Carter u are by far the WINNER of the whole American Idol ...theres no one above u beautiful, amazing Angelic Voice that no one can compare ❤❤😊

Abi Carter will win American Idol 2024! But she has competition, so it won’t be easy.

Abi!!!! 2:40 OMG!!! That voice!!! Just beautiful 😍

This girl had me in tears. She is so angelic

I think it should be mentioned that she's doing the Sara Bareilles version....although she did personalize it.She has a sweet ethereal voice!

At a time when the world needs a humble angel presence, then comes along AC BOOM!!!

Simply put, beautiful.

I've been watching since the beginning and she continuously hits me with her voice! She is my favorite whether she wins or loses. I waited until now to admit it but she is my favorite! I liked Jennifer Jeffries and Will Mosley but Abi is something special!

GENIUS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰

Abi, Mckenna and Jack are my favorite to win this year american idol.

Dear god, i could listen to this every day

shoutout to Sara Bareilles arrangement! nice job, Abi!

OMG... i picked her to win but i know BIG MO will win...good luck, abi. loooove her❣💖

Absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see what she does in the world. It'll be magical for sure.

She is Amazing has the voice of a Angel every performance is top notch natural talent!💕

Hands down the absolute best ✨ girl you were blessed with that voice 🙌💖

This is it! we have a winner 🙌🙌

Enjoy it guys because Abi is the most skillful singer of our time. I have yet to see a professional singer do that live and she just did it for us in a live performance! Her future music creations wouldn't even have to need editing or mastering in her recordings. Abi is the singing God!

Love her!!!!!!!

Abi is my favorite to win this season!!!

She’s the WINNER ❤🎉❤

She is my favorite singer now, beautiful voice and talent, I am so glad this show gives her the opportunity to be a star.

Voice so pure! The cry within the vocals! The angelic sound that rediates! She is RARE! Wow!

Best performance ever! Her performances bring me tears of joy...like wow...wow

Just her voice and piano held the room and all of us viewers also. Look at the band all of the instruments and back up vocals this girl was the most beautiful instrument on stage. She will be big.

Full-blown chills here...amazing performance and voice!

One of the best performances I’ve heard on Idol in recent years! Angelic and stunning! ❤❤❤

Winner! Period.

This song always makes me cry. She could play Carol King

Beautiful,, haunting song by Abi. This tone of her voice was crystal clear and sounded so.special.. Loved this wonderful performance!

Aby is the most powerful, beautiful, angelic, and talented of them all...

One of the best of the night for sure ♥️

What a beautiful voice ❤😢❤❤

Stunning....

Just amazing 👏🏾👏🏾

Best performance! Abi is amazing! Yellow brick road was so emotionally captivating❤️

Yaaaaas!! Being yourself❤ always remember this! 🎶🫶

Magnificent rendition of Yellow Brick Road! Her voice was tailored made for such a classical song by Elton John.

Before I start gushing over Abi, I just want to make it known that I believe that the talent this year on American idol is INCREDIBLE. I personally believe that even the top 24 all deserve to become big stars. However American idol needs a winner and my vote for this year is Abi Carter! There's just something about her voice and performances that I get goosebumps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I have no doubt that even if the majority of the voters don't feel the same way as I do and she gets voted off, she will continue to do amazing work. And I will be there for it. GO ABI!!!

Winner!!!❤

I was so excited when I saw she was singing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. And she did not disappoint. She's my number 1 of the season right now

I would love to hear Elton Johns opinion of this. She is so far above the rest of the class. It will be a tragedy if she doesn't win. You don't listen to Abi. You feel Abi.

Absolutely amazing performance

SUPER SUPER STAR ALERT!!! ❤

Beautiful voice❤

I hope she doesn’t get a lot of criticism for the remark. She didn’t say it was the devil’s music, but that she wasn’t allowed to listen because her mother and her narrow conservative religious beliefs feels that roll and roll is the devil’s music. There is an important distinction there. Amy is grown up and will have a career based on her talents.

She looks much older all dolled up she is a natural beauty and should not be made to change. She’s an absolutely outstanding singer and I agree she is possibly the winner of American Idol.
