Ziggy was amazing 👏 he has everything to be in the top 3 finalist an even win the show his voice is full of emotions an has a great tone to his voice ❤️ bring him back

[@marlenesmith7520]

Ziggy was amazing, Please give him a surprise and bring him back. You can have a top 25, you have done it before. Come on now😮😢.😢😢

Mackenzie was great.

[@mikediddyTV]

Just to dump him again? Nahhh

[@deni6743]

Ziggy needed to go through. He reminds me a bit of Adam Lambert. Different, talented and only would get better throughout the show. I will miss seeing him on idol 😢 😭

[@justdavy1]

Watch ziggy's performance of To much love will kill you from queen!!!! His voice sounds so much better when he sings lower!! You can see he is the son of a rock father for a reason. He SLAYS the queen song!!!!

[@pauljanish5419]

Ziggy was the winner - what were the judges thinking?

[@vinaalba2666]

What???? Ziggy is not on top 24 that’s insane. Mackenzie is good too, they’re both great. I hope they’ll be a wild card and they’ll take back Ziggy.

[@shelbyreid5136]

I thought the same thing. Ziggy was amazing. But you also have to think about it they look for stage presence and how the crowd is with that person and sometimes they look for something better. I thought ziggy was amazing but they are professionals they know what they are doing. And he talked about the Netherlands so much that it made me feel like if he would have won or if he went to La that he wouldn’t like it. I felt he talked way to much about the Netherlands if he liked it so much then why didn’t he just stay there.

[@vinaalba2666]

That's true, stage presence, and he's local.

[@Cyannah117]

I hope they do bring Ziggy back as a wildcard! Love him.

[@cindymondragon4505]

[@TheTeddyBrosevelt]

@@shelbyreid5136Um, if you listened to when he talked about it, you would hear that he talked about how he was ridiculed in his home land. Why wouldn’t he wanna go back! He must’ve loved it…. No he didn’t that’s one part of his story, I love the patriotism but he seemed genuine and wanted to make his mark here in the US of A

[@drewchandler1]

There is just no way that Ziggy has to go home. I mean, YES, Mackenzie is fantastic in his own right and should also be moving forward... but my goodness, the world stops when Ziggy performs. I can't believe he is off the show.

Should have made a 25th spot. They both did amazing, but Ziggy should NOT have gone home. SMH.

Yep, neither of them should’ve went home! If they didn’t want to make a 25th spot, then they should’ve sent home one of the other singers who wasn’t half as good as these two!!

[@JoanneJaworski]

There are two females that made it through that don't have 1/2 of the talent that Ziggy has. Not a fan of his "image" but his voice is far and away better than some that went through.

[@crookedlines]

I am a fan of his image, but I appreciate you not putting someone down as a whole just bc of that - thank you! He’s amazingly talented. And I agree- some went through that, although talented, were not at Ziggy’s level

[@smallisbeautiful2808]

That's the problem... His singing and presentation are already too perfect. He would've been a better fit for The Voice or - if he now lives permanently in the US, also for America's Got Talent... American Idol seems to be more about the "girl (or boy) next door" becoming a pop star, than being about actual objective level of talent.

In my opinion, Ziggy should have gone through. I feel Mackenzie sounded a little cry-babyish, and I don't buy that the rasp will help him as he moves forward. I don't think he will last long with all the talent that is there this year. Once again, the judges thought they were life coaches and attempted to fix someone's heart ache. I'll be happy when Katy is gone. She always gets what she wants as the two boys worship her.
