Benson Boone has become a major success. "Beautiful Things" is one of the biggest songs of 2024, and his first album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200. It was released in early April, yet it was the 4th most streamed album of the day yesterday - only below mega stars such as Billie, Taylor, and Ari. Many people claim his success has nothing to do with Idol, but his audition did go viral and helped further build his platform.    Unfortunately for Kenedi, she has not gained as much success and it seemingly may have been a smarter decision for her to stay in the competition.  &nbs ..read more

Hey loves! I've been rewatching the runs of the winners of the franchise and I decided to do a rankdown of their performances and give my overall thoughts on their runs on the show. I'm not taking success post show into consideration here. I'm strictly analyzing and judging what they delivered during their time on the show as a contestant. During the proccess, I'm gonna be grading all the competitive performances from our champions (so voting rounds onwards). I decided not to do auditions or hollywood week performances because not every winner had their performances aired during pre-lives so t ..read more

24 singers made it to the live voting rounds.  I analyzed why twenty-three of them fell short of winning the show.  Now it’s time for me to look at the one who won:  Abi Carter.  From the first audition, the judges thought that she could be the winner and she proved them right.  But how did she overcome the odds against girls like her on this show and win?  I’ll take one last look at the rules that American Idol contestants need to follow in order to figure out what she did right, what (little) she did wrong, and why Abi won.   The first rule states ..read more

Will Moseley came very close to winning American Idol, getting all the way to the Top Two.  But in the end, he fell short, seeing Abi Carter be named as the winner.  Why did he come so close only to fall just short in the end?  As always, I’ll look at the rules that American Idol contestants need to follow in order to find out what Will did right, what he did wrong and why Will lost. The first rule states that contestants must show both singing and performing talent.  Will showed more singing talent than say, Colin from last season, but IDF never had him at ..read more

American Idol is now over, and we have a new American Idol in Abi Carter.  While I’m celebrating her victory, I also have to look at the two who were with her in the finale but came up short:  Will Moseley and Jack Blocker, and figure out why they came up short.  I’ll begin with Jack, the third place finisher.  He came close, so why did he fail to make the Top 2, let alone win?  As always, I’ll examine the rules that American Idol contestants need to follow in order to figure out what Jack did right, what he did wrong and why Jack lost.   The first rule ..read more
