I agree with everything you said about Abi's performance. This song choice, her look, her voice, her stage presence, everything, was brilliant! She is getting better and better with each performance. My vote has been for Abi from day 1! Thank you for your analysis! Looking forward to what your new channel has to offer!

Thanks to all of the American Country Music Voters, Abi Carter may not win the title of 2024 American Idol. But I know that she SHOULD WIN the title. She has By Far the best voice left in the competition.

Just an incredible performance. What a voice and she is stunning,

Best performance of the whole season so far over everybody

Great analysis! This was my favorite performance ever on Idol

Holding that note at the end, to me, was everything! It was, as you said, sung, not screamed, and better, in my opinion, than the original! Thanks for a great reaction, and not just because I agree with it!

Awesome performance by Abi Carter. She will easily be in my top 5 all-time singers from all of the singing reality shows of the last 20 years. And this performance is probably going to be in my top 10 favorites of all time. For me to really know, ask me in 2+ years from now.

You may be right - let's hope people vote!

Agree with all you’ve said absolutely brilliant.. loved her from her first audition ❤ abi to win 🌟

I concur with everything you've said. And, of course, this was only Abi's THIRD attempt at ANY kind of physicality on stage (in her entire life!) -- if you include her "walk" from her keyboard to center stage during her Platinum trio performance of "California Dreamin'" (with Julia and Odell, opening the season) and her stroll onto the catwalk singing Coldplay's "Clocks", the conclusion of which still gives me chills. With Idol, Abi has produced a body of work that constitutes a veritable concert in itself, with truly superlative renditions of "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Sir Elton John. Abi's version of "Hello" by Adele was a masterpiece. HER interpretations are what I contemplate now -- not those of the original artists -- a testament to her world-class talent and ability to vocalize HER music, communicating through her many instruments. She has gotten better at singing and performing, too, even during the course of this season. (Notice she's not screeching as much? And maybe even enunciating better?) I LOVED her audition. It was PERFECTON! But THIS performance -- of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence -- simply BLEW ME AWAY! I was gasping, guffawing and clapping my hands, smiling from ear to ear while watching it, mesmerized by Abi's nascent (heretofore unseen and unheard) artistry. Of course, after the show, I told her she should give donuts to the crew -- the musicians, lighting designers, special effects technicians, choreographers, costume and makeup artists -- for making her LOOK SO FANTASTIC! And the judges' reactions were spot on, too. Abi DID kick down all four walls of ANY box ANY of us had placed her in! She can do it all! Beauty, poise, professionalism, and pure talent! Her demeanor, even when she's NOT singing, is every bit as attractive and inspiring as when she is. She has ALWAYS been a superb communicator -- with adult-like reasoning, poise, outspokenness, and good humor. Not to detract from Joe Biden's appraisal of his son, Hunter, Abi Carter IS the most intelligent person *I* have ever known. (She could talk circles around me when she was three!) She has ALL the qualities of a leader. I LOVE how she has supported, encouraged, and even evidently enjoyed singing with the other contestants, rocking to THEIR tunes and making THEM shine, as well. I understand she and Julia became best friends during their tenure as roommates, only recently separating with Julia's departure from the show. Whether Abi can overcome AI's penchant for selecting country western singers remains to be seen, but, in my mind, she's already a GREAT American Idol. (Of course, as her dad, I'm biased.)

@@RobertJohnson-bj5lk At her first audition Abi stated she is the eldest of 7 kids with a single mom who practically raised those kids by herself. So I don't know how much contact her dad has with the family and Abi. Abi's brothers, sisters and mom have featured on American Idol clips often and during the live shows and there is no paternal figure in those clips. Judging by the comments made by the so called Mr. Carter on platforms like this he is somewhat cut off from the family. I don't know I'm only guessing here but it is a guess made based on the information avaialble so it's an educated guess.

You have to see her performance for Hello! Best one yet

I saw it - it was excellent, I agree 👏🏼👏🏼

Abi's voice can do so much -- Power, Nuance, the Power of Nuance, and Nuanced Power (those ARE 4 different things). Over the course of American Idol 2024, her stage presence has grown. She's always looked reasonably comfortable on stage and has made progress in projecting varying aspects of herself -- from tender to forceful. This was her first performance which demanded that she put EVERYTHING together in a single song -- all 4 power/nuance gears from her voice PLUS grab the audience by the heart with one hand and grab the audience by the throat with the other. She delivered masterfully.

Congrats on the new channel!!!That shared, Abi......effortless!! ! I !think of her gorgeous audition "That" was enough "for me", but this....authentically AMAZING.I still prefer her with piano but proof Abi can perform about everything .Loved you ran the full performance in this case. For myself it's Abi & Jack but it may be Emmy after Abi .The fact that her G-ma was an icon makes it tough to keep her lower. It may be surprising .I prefer Will to Triston but my own intuition says fans will choose Triston before Will. So game-on!!!!. Way to go Abi!!!

Oh, now I can see that I am now watching your new channel :))) New channel but the same, good stuff. Good luck with this one! In terms of the song choice - I have never ever liked this specific song and this has not changed after Abi's performance. Yet I have to say that her version is not as "heavy" as the original so for me she did well. Personally I think than this song leaves very little space for sing it very much differently from the original due to its very emotional nature. Every singer has to start like very softly and then add more and more intensity while it is progressing. So, how different from the original one can sing softly or scream?

I really love your analysis, your reaction and we learn from you! I love Abi and it really like being in a concert. I watched Amy Lee even with an orchestra but honestly, I prefer Abi's rendition of this song. I wish she would sing the whole song. Amy is a genius in song writing to write a song like Bring Me to Life.

You can't sit two saddles...as the old saying goes (actually I just made it up!). I was riding the Triston horse from the auditions...but am now aboard Abi for the win!

I believe the 'hype' for this girl is something a publicist would have concocted in order to brainwash the listening public into believing each performance was sheer perfection........while listener's repeatedly add that she is still improving. If she, in people's minds, has reached pinnacle at the top of the musical pedestal, how can she be 'continually improving'? It doesn't make sense.

Well, I believe the best singers can actually keep improving - at almost 53 years old, I still grow 🤷🏻‍♂️

The only thing I disliked about this was the judges' clownish 'look at me' reactions which took attention away from the mood and emotion of Abi's performance. So, I disagree with you on that one point. You do need to listen to her 'Top Seven' performance of the Adele song that she covered last week. Abi is getting better week by week and discovering new facets of her talent.

😮 The voting is always so unpredictable... Let's see what happens!

She sings with heart. However, a vocal coach will be helpful because she screamed instead of sing, and I thing she struggled at some points as well. She wasn't great, just good. She can become great.

Jack should have won?

The problem is that she has been stealing other artists exact style and runs so she hasn't been using her creativity, other than that, she is great. People were messaging listen to this person, same song. I listened. She took the person's style and all the riffs exactly so really she is not the one being creative at all. I liked this song though. Also like the metal vibe for her.
