And she just won American Idol 2024
21 and sounds like a pro, imagine what she can do in her future music career. Talented on the piano, guitar, vocally, over all musically. She’s a winner. Vote for Abi

I say she has a elite voice. She's sub par on piano and has no idea how to sing in her lane.. every performance she gotten worse.

And then sadly, some dumb producers will make her, under contract, sing some horrible dance/pop songs that go nowhere for her.

As anyone who's watched programs like AI knows, talent means nothing when it comes to having a career in the entertainment industry. At least the kind of career most of us envision when we think of success. It might never translate into a Grammy or an Oscar or a Platinum record. And please remember, regardless of outcome, nothing can be stolen when the outcome is left to the whims and lack of musical taste of the voting public. Diana Ankudinova, very unique voice and has won multiple competitions and is still just a regional nobody. Haley Reinhart couldn't win AI, has chosen to stay independent and found success on her own terms. Floor Jansen, a master of her instrument, would probably lose out to some mediocre pop singer with a twang on a show like this. And all those past winners, and contestants whose 15 minutes of fame have faded to black. As long as you expectations are bleak is there any hope for pleasant surprise.
I think Abi loves Sara Bareilles as much as I do because this was Sara Bareilles’s arrangement of yellow brick Road. And when Elton John heard it, he said “Sara a lot of people have done that song as a cover, but yours is by far the most beautifully unique one.” and Abidid a spectacular job.

This was Abi's best performance yet and her previous performances were out of this world! Just amazing! Speechless! You've got to listen to this on headphones or on a good stereo... just speechless!

Love Abi Carter, she is the whole package. Amazing off the charts voice, fantastic artistry at the piano, and an unassuming beautiful personality. She is my choice to win this competition!!!
Goodbye yellow bye Road is one of my favorite Elton John songs Abi Carter awesome job. I loved it.❤
I have this play on constant repeat in my hour drive to work here in Houston tradfic. Brought me to tears last night and now still makes me teary listening to her angelic voice! She is it for me! Will keep on voting for her!

Best performance of entire competition… ever. Just mho. I’d pay for full version of this.
Whether it were her best performance or not, Abi rolled out another showstopper. All of her performances are rather phenomenal. Stage appearances, breath control, musically, her ability to sing runs classy and sophisticated are all fantastic. A front runner, in the finale line-up, I’m sure of it. Go Abi!
This is her best performance since the audition. A few more like this, and it's confetti time.

I've replayed this like 10 times now
Oh she just did it - finally a moment this season.
Her voice is absolutely stunning, pure perfection, I’m speechless..❤
That's the Sara Bairelles version of the song, which is just absolutely stunning. If you haven't heard, look up Sara Bairelles singing Goodbye Yellowbrick Road and thank me later.

Forget the fact her voice is one for the ages...nothing short of a pure silken thread, but this arrangement....and her presentation was a brilliant and transporting musical journey for the ears and heart.
