American Idol 2026 Day 1: Introduction


With the Top 20 Officially decided, the time has come for my annual Idol rankings and commentaries. Quick little 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 in two weeks as today is just an introduction.


I present to you our Top 20;


 Philmon Lee                                               Madison Moon


 Braden Rumfelt                   Jake Thistle


 Jesse Findling                         Jordan McCullough (Platinum)


 Ruby Rae                                  Genevieve Heyward


 Lucas Leon                                  Hannah Harper


 Kyndal Inskeep (Platinum)   Chris Tungseth


 Julián Kalel                        Rae



 Daniel Stallworth            Abayomi


 Kutter Bradley                   Makiyah


 Brooks Rosser (Platinum)         Keyla Richardson



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


Loves:

Braden- This dude keeps surprising me
Jesse- Won me over during Hollywood week
Keyla- My Favorite🥰
Kyndal- Best songwriter here


Likes:

Madison- Has her good and sometimes great moments
Jordan- Killed it during the 'Ohana" round
Chris- Seems like a nice guy
Rae- Don't overestimate your abilities
Daniel- Also has his good moments
Makiyah- Also has her great moments
Brooks- For obvious reasons
Hannah- Our mini Dolly Parton



Meh/Don't Care/Dislikes:

Philmon- I don't dislike him, but I find his voice bland sometimes
Jake- I barely even remember this guy
Ruby- Kind of boring
Genevieve- Similar to Philmon, voice slightly bland
Lucas- Don't really remember him either
Abayomi- Least favorite contestant, severely overrated
Julián- also overrated but extremely likable
Kutter- Also boring


Oldest Contestants- Keyla, Kutter, & Kyndal (29)
Youngest Contestants- Abayomi & Ruby (16)
Best Girl- Keyla
Best Boy- Jordan
Favorite Contestant- Keyla

Starting in two weeks, 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.

Thanks For Reading

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

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...
