We get Fleetwood Mac.
We get A SHOW.
Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Johnny Cash Heart
Oh boy.
She does what she wants, and thats all you’re free to count on.
Gabby Barrett, Rivers Deep
They have honestly set these guys up so well with music.
And yes, she has a flowy train and sparkle pants, but shes no Carrie Underwood.
And thats a compliment.
I can barely get an article written at work in a week without questioning myself.
Was Gabby a seasoned pro tonight?
Maddie Poppe, Going, Going Gone
Look at this little cutie wootie Beetlejuice!
Between Rivers Deep and Going Going Gone, theres bound to be a solid single here.
I think Going kind of edges out Rivers, and Maddie does it justice.
I threw up twice with parent anxiety on this end.
1980s country music was peak country music, especially for men.
Like, am I a Caleb Lee fan now?
Is my name Carol, from Arkansas?
Am I drinking sauvignon blanc and throwing 10 votes to him?
Gabby Barrett, Little Red Wagon
Oh, well, were doing this again.
This is likely a smart choice because Gabby needs a solid performance number under her belt tonight.
The final song can make up for any vocal shortcomings that Little Red Wagon doesnt offer.
Maddie Poppe, Dont Ever Let Your Children Grow Up
Yes, queen.
I love that theres been so many (good) originals this season.
Blue Jeans from Jonny isnt as strong of one, but Jonny Brenns was so good.
I just dont think the spark ever made it to his explosive.
As far as Michelle, I still think Im a Dreamer is the heaviest hand thatAmerican Idolhas ever had.
Would I call him my favorite?
But would I be surprised if he won?
Gabby Barrett, Dont Stop Believin'
DECISIONS.
Yes, Steve Perry gave you a standing ovation, but yall.
Maddie Poppe, Landslide
Well.
If theres justice in the reality singing show competition world, Maddie Poppe just won.
Im not qualified to critique a professional, so, go vote.
