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.

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.

And she just won American Idol 2024

Her voice is practically hypnotic

Reminds me of the Sara Barielles cover. They both did it justice. Stunning.

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!

I never thought anyone could do this song as well as Elton. She blew it out of the water! I had goosies the entire song.

Made a grown man cry !! You are sincerely amazing ! Angelic

If there was never a performance again as long as humans roam the earth, this would be enough. Speechless 🫶

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!

Incredible! First time I fully understood all the lyrics.

How are some of y’all saying she’s untalented? This was fantastic! I def think she deserves to win

Maybe the best AI has seen. Her talent goes beyond just vocal ability. She truly captivates the audience and is beyond her years. I hope when she lands her first deal she doesn't get over produced music. Her talent is beyond lots of busy production and should be kept raw like this performance.

Did she just riff within a run at the end? My God.....talent!
