American Idol 2024

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 continues as host of the beloved series, for the historic 22nd season.

This wasn't competition level, this was concert level. Holy moly... 😲

And I don’t think enough people know how difficult this song is to sing. She SLAYED IT 🔥

[liamjones]

How many times have you watched this?
Me: Yes

[Roaring-Run-Homestead]

If judges had an "instant win" button, this would be the time to use it. Flawless performance and my favorite.

[maniac]

Katies face the entire time!! They knew what they were doing lmaooo

[BIGTENFanatic]

This was single handedly the best performance I’ve seen on American idol in at least the last 5 years

[americanmade]

This is one of those Idol performances people will be coming back on YouTube to watch over and over again. If there were any doubts, this one solidified her spot as #1 from the 2024 season. She turned it up and never looked back.

Abi may have just given the best performance of this song, on any singing competition. It literally fits her voice perfectly.

[paulohenriqueaguiargomiero]

This is the Abi we first met, here’s her actual potential! She could easily win this if she continues to make the right song choice, she’s talented enough for any song!

[thejudge]

Can you imagine the music that will come out of a production studio with her? She's top tier talent.

[TeddiiBearAngel]

Katy's face is priceless, she looked as if her heart completely stopped. Abi is the winner with songs like this. She will absolutely crush the competition if she does All I Ask.

Besides of course Abi's stellar performance, the other best part is seeing Katy Perry's reaction to how incredibly good Abi is.

[cowtownokla]

No matter how the vote turns out, Abi has already won, superstar!

[tyisaac]

If Abby Carter doesn’t win American Idol then something is terribly terribly wrong. This Hass to be the greatest performance I’ve ever heard on idol. Breathtaking.

[operachild]

This is the only one I’ve watched on repeat like 5 or 6 times. Her voice does Amy’s song so perfectly.

[jaelespinoza]

This was OUTSTANDING! Abi keeps on surprising me week after week - my winner hands down

[fractalflowers]

Now why hasn’t she been singing songs like this the entire season!!! #Goddess

[northwoodfalls]

Wow. This is an iconic song to take on. And she did it proud. Anytime someone performs something that isn’t pop, country, or gospel/r&b on this show, I’m delighted. Feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve hear a female voice that can really take on something with this kind of energy to it.

What happens when you match a well-written song with someone who can sing. Goosebumps.❤

[justinlee]

Brilliant song choice (thanks, Luke!), blazing hot vocals, and dramatic stage presence. I haven't had this much fun watching an Idol performance since Adam Lambert was on.
