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                                                Penny Samar

 Grayson Torrence              MKY

 Josh King                          Amanda Barise 

 Victor Solomon                           Kyana Fanene

 Slater Nalley                              Baylee Littrell

 John Foster                        Filo (Platinum)

 Kolbi Jordan (Platinum)     Isaiah Misailegalu

 Olivier Bergeron                         Desmond Roberts

 Jamal Roberts        Breanna Nix



Here's a division of where I stand on these contestants in the form of Loves, Likes, and Meh/I Don't Cares;


Loves:

Canaan- can SANG his butt off and loves God with no shame
Amanda- won me over during Hollywood Week
Baylee- also won me over. Has NOTHING to do with his dad
Jamal- also won me over 


Likes:

Gabby- talented, though slightly annoying
Drew- I like her voice
Che- nice voice
Josh- awkward but endearing 
Victor- low range is impressive
Filo- I understand why he got the platinum
Kolbi- talented but has bad habits and is the weakest of the platinum trio
Isaiah- nice voice
Desmond- SUPER HIGH range, but also developed bad habits
Breanna- she's growing on me


Meh/I Don't Care:

Zaylie- she's fine, that's it
Mattie- kind of boring
Thunderstorm- he seems like a nice guy though
Penny- be careful with your facial expressions
Grayson- she's fine, that's it
MKY- a little bit too cheesy for me
Kyana- also boring but more memorable than Mattie
Slater- not impressed, but sweet kid
John- again, boring
Olivier- our French connection


Oldest Contestant- Thunderstorm (29)
Youngest Contestant- Mattie (15)
Best Girl- Amanda
Best Boy- Canaan
Favorite Contestant- Canaan

Starting next week, I will be ranking each performance from worst to best. If a song I feel uncomfortable with is covered, I will skip the ranking and just say the best and worst performance. Once people start going home, they will not be included in the ranking.
