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

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.

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...

What The Hell Did I Even Watch!?!🤣

I think ever since Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born , musicians have been trying to jump in on the band wagon. The Weekend is one of those musicians who's trying, and failing miserably. First he tried with The Idol , and we all saw how that crashed and burned. And now he decided to turn his newest album Hurry Up Tomorrow into a movie, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Oh yeah, Jenna Ortega and  Barry Keoghan are in this too.  The Weekend is obviously on this vendetta to prove to people that he can act, and it's getting kind of pathetic. The movie is just.....not good.  There's barely even a plot, it's just an elongated music video that involves The Weekend crying too much. Now, I will give him some credit for actually trying this time (unlike in The Idol ). But unfortunately, instead of coming off as a troubled musician, this felt like I was watching one of the 3-5 year-olds my mom deals with at her job. I'm aware that this movie was in...
