Abi Carter Bring Me to Life Full Performance Top 8 Judge's Song Contest | American Idol 2024

[@daviddees7354]

Game over. That was ridiculous. That was a full blown world class professional performance and better than the majority of famous performers in the world.

[@MrFloydSaunders]

This is just a glimpse of how she will perform at sold out concerts around the world. There is Abi Carter and then there is everyone else. That was epic.

[@badaging7483]

She was great. THAT song really made me a fan. If she was a bit more physically energetic on stage, it would have been an out of the park home run. She'll get there.

[@judygonzales1986]

Agree

[@brucehart1617]

Agreed!

[@jimz2747]

This performance put her at the top in my opinion.

[@chilledgrish7169]

Let’s not get carried away

[@jbsan0]

I have to admit, Abi hasn't been my favorite - but this is by far the best performance of the season by anyone on the show. She absolutely killed it.

[@jacobmccain8794]

This was incredible. This I think maybe be tied for with Jayna’s rendition of “I have nothing” by Whitey! That was also just an insanely amazing performance! This Abi’s best performance to date. I wasn’t sure she would ever top her audition, but her it is! This was insanely amazing!

[@XOXOcel]

Okay I've seen a few contestants covering this song on Idol before, but THIS --- is really something else! From the production, outfit, the vocals and the connection with the song, Abi really delivered here and did this song justice. So haunting and powerful, just chills!

[@Tom80990]

I've seen a lot of contestants cover this song and Abi's version is by far the best.

[@lesteryarbrough2403]

I agree with every word.

[@leodegas7731]

What the heck is happening? That was a concert. She was so beautiful and perfectly atired for that song. And the dramatic showmanship was perfect. I mean, sooo many great performances this evening. Jack, Will and Abbi are it for me so far. Now to watch the rest.

[@TNgirl546]

Abi and Will are my favorite with Abi in first and Will second. Will does have a fantastic voice and even if he or she does not win they both will have recording contracts.

[@christinahammerman9318]

I watched the episode about 3 hours ago, and I've already played this at least 15 times! OMG... I still don't have a favorite, but this absolutely blew me away!!!!!!!!!

[@dylanhogan9353]

I was SCREAMING “PICK EVANESCENCE!!!” Lmaoooooo this was the best performance not only by Abi the entire show, but this is THE performance of the entire show! This is what the American Idol is all about!!!

[@christinahammerman9318]

Me, too! I was standing up and yelling at the TV for her to pick this! Absolutely Mind-Blowing Performance!!!!

[@esears3996]

I was glad she went with her own pick and wasn't swayed by the vocal coach.

I did the same and wehn it shows she was singing it, I start smiling then, she start singing and me like :O :O (katy perry style)

[@vincentjohnflorio]

That was one of the sickest Idol performances I've seen. Granted there are some big names in the history of the show, including people who went out and won awards, sung oodles of albums. I am recognizing them as well in the field of sickest. But everything about this came together so well. I didn't even know she had this soulful rocking gear to her, and to kind of 'act' it on point but then totally snap back to looseness. And it sounded so good and she looked badass. I am so happy for her.
