Picking country roads for a song is a terrible idea for a finale on idol. Not memorable enough

Agree. Gabby got robbed. She possibly could have won it all.

ETA: except for Jamal being on another level than all of them.

There was no way they could have gotten this wrong. John, Jamal, Breanna, and Gabby were all powerhouses in their own right. I think they’ll all still have pretty decent careers.

I figured this would happen when they said 20,000 people went to this live performance.

I think he is good, but I think his runs are kind of everywhere.

I really liked how Thunderstorm could tell a story with his songs. Will need to go look at all their singles.

I enjoy the show, but do any of these people have any success after idol nowadays. ?


I can’t think of any outside of the early seasons.

Always annoys me how they have a 3 hour show and cut off their winner….

They definitely cut out what he said at the end there on purpose

Quit watching Idol not long after Simon left. Used to absolutely love that show. Was some very talented folks come thru and the judges, especially Simon, actually gave critical advice to try and help the singers grow and develop. The few times I have tuned in over the last several years it seems like they just gush over every performance even if it was complete dog shite it average at best.

Haley Reinhart not winning Season 10 is still a travesty to me.

I only watched this year for the local angle. I can't see me tuning in again any time soon.

Damn , some of y'all got butt hurt over this. I claim Jamal is better, get downvoted into oblivion, tell why I think Jamal is better, and then get proven that I'm right. I wish no ill will on the other contestants. I just thought Jamal was better as did most of the voters. Let it go dude.

Congrats to Jamal. He was the best all season. It was clear he was the favorite from the start.

This is one of the deepest classes they've ever had IMO

As someone who watched the season, I probably have to agree with you on that part.

Ok so you believe Jamal is just the better singer. No problem with that. He is the better singer.

However, in the post below you did not mention Jamal once. So don't come in here on your high horse talking about Jamal is the better singer. When based on the post below that is not all its about.

All these Louisiana frickers in here thinking that basic, generic white boy country singer is better just because he's from Louisiana. That's all it is

Agree. I am glad Jamal won though. Really pleased with the last 3 Idol winners. Iam, Abi, and Jamal were all the stars of their seasons. The worst winner ever was Noah.

Foster will win though because girls like country boys


Seems like there will always be a country guy in the top 3 now, but thankfully America has been getting away from voting the country guy every time.

I think John was great and he has a classic country voice, but I wanted Jamal to win. I think Jamal at his best was the best of this season I am still annoyed Noah won his season. He was not even a top 15 talent that season.

The country guy last season was absolutely awesome, but I still wanted Abi to win, because her best was still better than the others.

She should have made the top 3. She got screwed


I had Jamal and Gabby in my top 3 and was surprised she didn't make the top 3, but I felt that was a good thing for Jamal. Breanna and John were very much deserving of top 3 though.
