OMG this what an absolutely amazing combination of Abi, Odell, and Julia, WOW!!! Even Lionel Richie said “Wow” when Julia came out with that powerhouse note!!

😢I absolutely love that each of their solos had a different musical arrangement, and they all were given equal time to showcase their brow raising vocals before coming together to blow the roof off that place while simultaneously snatching at everyone's scalps and edges!!!😂

All 3 are remarkable vocalists but for me there is just something about Abi Carter.

All three were PHENOMENAL, but Julia is something else.

They're so different musically yet they sound so great together

[SonyaIlliadis-jggj]

Any other year Abi would have won easy..but this year the talent is through the stratosphere..just crazy!!

[azfarissirafza]

Abi’s voice is hauntingly beautiful, Odell has so much weight and soul in his voice and Julia’s voice just pierce through your heart. All three distinct singers yet they don’t drown each other and makes every word out of their mouths believable.

[DraggyM]

that mightve been the best and I mean the best 3 person performance in American idol history

[mariapetrulakis]

Abi just has it all. She connected emotionally to this song as she did to the one in her audition! She is already a star!
