Abi Carter's Journey To WINNING American Idol 2024! | Idols Global

[@basilfawlty8244]

I think the "What where you made for..? You were made for this"..!, is one of the sweetest, most genuine comments that a judge has ever uttered on a talent show. A star is born.

[@mmasood3511]

❤❤❤

[@jephbennett]

The fact that 437 people were fooled by this very sweet, very scripted line (written for her by some rich old white dude in a suit) is a example/indicator of the general American gullibility that allows those in power to program us so easily with their propaganda. #lockdowns #2party1scam #inequality

[@morganbarfield108]

"my sisters talented man" that was adorable

[@singmetosleep29]

Yeah… it doesn’t get better than that.

[@carlenadozzi6930]

Be proud she is an awesome talent for sure

[@Wilkinsthewest]

Holy crap, I remember see her performing on the street, with her keyboard, guitar, and an iPad, at the Palm Spring Street festival. My wife and I stopped and listened to her for 20min, and we couldn't believe how talented she was. Just thought about that today and went to look her up and see she won American Idol....so deserving

[@JanickaJaworska]

I'm glad a person who truly deserves to win, has won.

Finding her is like striking gold, oil, and diamonds all at once. What an incredible find and what an amazing job in bringing her out. I doubt she even knew she could do what she's done. Brilliant, love her.

When she auditioned they said she was going to be the winner.

[@aaronmoyano2340]

She brings my wife and I to tears every time she sing. Can't wait for the first of many concerts tours me and mine will attend. Please everyone give this angelic voice all the support you can.

[@brentlottering]

​@chickadeeacres3864 I just started this abi journey a few hours ago on my old phone. I don't have cable. I'm blown out of the proverbial water. Ethereal Iridescent Authentic Raw Polished Innocent Versatile Versatile Versatile Beautiful Brave Gargantuan And yet so disciplined. The control is admirable. Commendable. Every performance was a moment She transports you Her vulnerability in some renditions is such that it pulls you in with her into a fragile mess only to stitch you back together, up and out ... A powerhouse for sure. Another level . Another league all of her own. And a breath of fresh air. Never waiver from the principled artist that you are young beautiful creature. Never compromise your standards. Bravo 👏🏽 👌🏽 Did she say she was raised in a large family by a single mom? A job Well-done mama. Shoutout to single mothers raising talented and brave and beautiful beings. 👏🏽. Bravo bravo bravo

[@brentlottering]

​@@chickadeeacres3864 I felt it From that little humble but sassy click she did with her mouth at the beginning of the audition I felt it in my waters 😅 She's more than a winner. She's a force to be reckoned with. A tour de force.

This beautiful woman is one in a billion. Her vocal range is astounding. I only hope and pray she goes really far in the music industry and she's not torn apart by The vicious music industry.

[@CrucialArmitage]

@@bridgettecolburn6641 what does Jesus have to do with it?

[@litaholdeman5897]

​@@CrucialArmitageshe comes from a very religious upbringing according to her first audition so I believe the other person was referring to hoping she doesn't lose sight of who ultimately gave her the gift of a beautiful voice.

I’m blown away. I hope she becomes one of the most famous singers of her generation.

[@lauren_WI]

[@GeorgiaSullivan-c1b]

Contemporary yet old school with the most beautiful range. She feels every note and wants us to feel the notes too. Such a gift to us all!

[@PamBrossmanChannel]

I have watched idol both US and Australian since it began and NO ONE has ever made me cry. This young woman makes me cry with every song. Some people are just blessed from within. What a gift just beautiful. Please keep her innocence that is what we all fell in love with. She sings from the soul and in this industry that is very, very, very rare.

[@B_Bodziak]

This is the first season I didn't watch and after watching this, I'm disappointed to say the least.

[@misterb1965]

I'm a 59 year old biker. She made me tear every performance. When she won, I bawled like a dang baby. Her popularity just might surpass Kelly and Carrie.

[@LaelaErickson]

She got so much better as she went through the competition. Especially with breathe work, strength, tone. Incredible!

[@alanjorgensen8496]

Seriosly, in all my years I have never seen a better act on that show. That girl has it all. Talent to burn, personality, looks, I could watch a show of hers and back up for the next one as soon as it was finished. Wow.

[@mmasood3511]

Beautifully described 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Oldcrazy82]

I could swear the earth stood still for just a second while she was singing. Such an amazing talent.

UK viewer here; watched a clip of her on Facebook weeks ago. It was her audition, What Was I Made For? and I called her as the winner then. Didn’t see or hear of her again over here until that Bring Me to Life performance started trending on Facebook and I was so thrilled to see she was doing so well. Now here she is trending again, the winner. Awesome compilation. Well done Miss Abi Carter 👏🏻

[@flymypg]

I've watched so many seasons of so many shows, and I've never before seen an artist grow *without* changing who they are and what they bring to the music. I didn't see what the judges saw during her audition. I could tell it was a good audition, but I had no clue about all of what was behind it, the depth the judges saw so clearly. To see her arc as she went through the competition, then to hear her sing her audition song again after winning, brought it full circle for me. Wow. So THAT is what a true artist sounds like. Wow. I haven't touched my ukulele in over a year, and I haven't warmed up my voice for even longer. Just grabbed ukulele and tuned it. Let's see what inspiration feels like, once again.

[@blueman5924]

I want to keep the “Bring Me to Life “ performance in the forefront, as it showcased what her vocal spirit can achieve. It was grand. 👏

[@heatherkowalczyk6643]

[@DocLouie88]

A rare gem. She's gifted with such a very beautiful voice. Goodluck to her singing career!

[@CrucialArmitage]

She is an incredible vocalist with a unique ability to make every song she sings sound like it was written specifically for her. Even when other talented singers perform covers, their renditions don't always resonate as authentically. However, this singer possesses the remarkable gift of transforming every song into her own, leaving the audience with the impression that she was the original artist.

[@stevenkern5659]

o there is another idol who does that with a song and I feel this young lady is in her class god she is good

[@ohmreggienius]

Wow. I watched this show from the 1st series, and then, after 10 years, seemed to be too busy to watch it; however, today I wanted to reminisce on those times and then chose to listen to the latest winner. I was transported back to those times of enjoying the show and then, this new winner; all those years later, has a voice is so beautiful, it made me cry. She seems so very genuine and sings from the heart; just wonderful to listen to. I am so grateful that, once again, I have the time in life to enjoy these simple, yet wonderful things x

How prophetic that Abi changed into a golden outfit to present her final offering prior to the announcement of the winner. Such a deserving winner whose class and humility were streets above the other contestants, and although her future should be assured going forward, I sense this result won't change her a great deal, because she is a dedicated performer who learns very rapidly.
