American Idol Final Thoughts

 


So Idol finally chose it's winner. Because this is the finale, the show went all out. Bringing back previously eliminated contestants, and multiple guests (NKOTB, Seal, even CeCe Winans!!!!!!!!). The series also paid tribute to Katy Perry (whom personally I'm glad is leaving). I will not be ranking any performances, I'll just be speaking on the outcome and my final thoughts on the season as a whole;



Third Place: Jack Blocker


My dad was sure he was gonna win. I believed it would be either him or Abi, but I wouldn't have been surprised if Will had pulled an upset


Second Place: Will Moseley


Again, I'm not surprised Will somewhat pulled an upset placing higher than Jack


Winner: Abi Carter


Not surprised at all by her win. Congratulations and good luck 🎉🎉🎉🎉


I was overall fine with this season. There were some surprises and some upsets. Mainly I appreciate the amount of worship songs that were covered this year. Not just from contestants, but some guests as well. That was really nice to see. I really enjoyed doing these commentaries and I look forward to next year. Thanks for reading.

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

American Idol 2025 Day 2: Top 24

  I would like to say that for the first week of live shows, a good majority of contestants either did REALLY good or better than they should have. I personally was very impressed with the last 2 days. With that being said, I still gotta rank. Today I will be ranking every single performance from worst to best. This ranking is solely based on my opinion. If you have not read last week's introduction, I highly suggest you read that first before this ranking;   Worst Performance Of The Week:  Baylee Littrell Happy - Pharrell This really kills me. Not sure what he was thinking with this song choice #23: Josh King I'm Still Standing - Elton John Him and Baylee equally sucked. But at least this song was more in Josh's league #22: Olivier Bergeron   I'm Not Okay - Jelly Roll He's kind of bland to me #21: Desmond Roberts Do I Do - Stevie Wonder Needs to calm down a little #20: John Foster Callin' Baton Rouge - Various Also kind of bland #19: Kyana Fanene I Am - St...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
