And Jessi and all of the Defying Gravity girls were ssoooo good! 😍🔥🎭.

[@cupsongsingers]

this was the most rewarding, fantastic experience of my life and I’ll miss these amazing performers SO MUCH!

[@thesurvivoraunt13]

So so good! I think it's wonderful that these award shows and recognition shows exist to bring young talent into a public spotlight. Some of these young people may never make it to NYC or LA without the assistance of programs like these!

[@janiecarr2159]

Mia Velasquez lol I miss you this is so true

[@kirstenteotico]

Both King’s Academy nominees were in this number! I’m so shocked they did not make the finals! But they did a fabulous job! Hopefully Olivia returns again to win the Jimmys!!

[@melindayang4718]

Both of Kings academy nominees performed in this group. Yay for Clayton hider and Olivia Henley!

[@catherineadler65]

I feel they were both robbed of showing off their amazing talents! I wish they were able to do a piece in the male/female medleys! I found them thru their school’s musical vlogs, I have a musical theater crazed 14 yo daughter & am rooting for Olivia to return to the Jimmy’s in the coming years & perform her songs from Ghost, Miss Saigon, or Titanic! This mom from Orlando is rooting for you Olivia!❤️😉catherine

[@franfrankie7]

Everyone here is commenting about how they were in it i mean you all are wickedly talented, and im over here in a small town in the middle of nowhere wishing that there was a theatre nearby that did this sort of thing lol ;) congrats you guys all did amazing tho (and omg the guy who sang dancing through life woow he better be fiyero someday)

[@michellemuir2249]

[@sarahdake9850]

the choreography in dancing through life is amazing! 4:15

[@cupsongsingers]

right! and they weren't even recording us well:(

[@emilyandersen4415]

This is truly amazing. I’m really glad they did this

[@MrHalebale]

How do they choose who gets to do their solos and who have to do the tribute/group numbers? If you're wanting to make it to the finale it seems sort of unbalanced...

[@emmaweber6917]

Haley Maness one finalist comes medley 1, medley 2, and both tribute numbers :)

[@bram5452]

I still don't understand how does it works

[@patrickjoe9598]

Bram even if you don’t have a solo a couple of days before the performance you perform for the “judges” and that’s where they mainly select their finalist from!

[@ChrissieInWonderland]

So there are at least 6 group numbers and they pick 4 girls and 4 boys from those to become finalists and perform their solo. No one performs a solo unless you get to the final 8.

[@tylercox8915]

It's decided by an audition beforehand, not your performance in the Jimmy awards showcase :)
