ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL
AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in February 2021 for its forth season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2019, as the virtual Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering many cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series.

He’s so hard not to love. His voice his humbleness is just so pure!!! I literally love his music and voice. Hunter is a true talent.

[@jenniferliggett6385]

He is so talented and he doesn't even realize how good he is, both as a human being and as a singer.

[@tracyholm2267]

The crying adds to the performance. Shows he's human, loved it.

[@kimberlyswanson8319]

Yes. This is the night lots of people fell inive with him. ❤️

[@kimberlyswanson8319]

Sunday, April 18 will go down as the night millions of Americans fell in love with Hunter. "Perfection is an illusion" Thank you Katy Chin up young man. ❤️

[@missmaureen9509]

Are you kidding? He cries at least once every episode. Could you imagine seeing him in concert? He'd be crying on stage all night. That'd be one sad concert

[@infowazz]

except he kept crying. overdid it.

[@missmaureen9509]

@@infowazz I agree. He cries at least once every episode. What a terrible concert it'd be. Him crying the whole time.

[@jamesreese4170]

Really difficult and emotional song. Hunter Killed it. Don't care about the break down at the end. This song is literaly a musical cry anyhow.

[@christicrenshaw2772]

He is human. Shows he has a heart and feels things. Can't be a good singer if you don't feel things

[@lindahaugen5113]

Love him

[@kimberlyswanson8319]

For real! I've always LIKED Hunter. Before he even started singing, I told my family, "I kind of love him for picking this song". Before he left the stage, I had the app I stalled on ALLLL of our phones (not just mine), and we all voted for him max times.

[@roundhouse8003]

The fact that he cried actually improved the moment. I felt so much emotion from him and that’s what made it so special. ❤️ You Hunter!

[@missmaureen9509]

Are you kidding? Hunter cries at least once every episode

[@karenhardie1132]

That happens to every singer. No one cares when the music comes from the heart. Great job.

[@theoolajide1]

I can't get enough of this performance!! His vulnerability played out well for him. The night is still young but I'm rooting for Hunter.

[@ReneMoraida]

His humaness and vulnerability won our hearts. ♥️

[@adrianacinapri7224]

I have not watched A.I. in soooooooo many years & when I saw this clip on KZbin, I was like "WOW". Crying isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of someone who has PASSION & a TRUE HEART. WELL DONE :)

[@alexm5600]

Felt so bad for him, I know he gets so down on himself. He's such an amazing singer and that was an incredible performance. He messed up a tiny bit, and picked the song right back up. Easily for me his best performance this season!

[@ernievillegas8933]

That imperfection in the end is PERFECTION! Millions with you HUNTER after this performance. WINNER!

[@singtorres6049]

I'm not an American butI set my alarm at 3am East African Time just to vote for Hunter. I'm glad he made the cut. I hope he finally wins.

[@atennyson4143]

What a sweet thing to do :) He will go far!

Katy is so right. The emotion ADDED to the performance, it was so incredibly beautiful. Every single time Hunter sings he makes me so emotional, he’s so captivating. He deserves the world and more! Also omg Graham with hunters family! So cute!

[@ce7768]

I legit love Hunter with all my heart ❤. That was his best performance yet. Stop crying baby bc you got this 😍

If I had never heard that song before I would think it was his own. Perfectly selected and beautifully performed by a sweet, sensitive soul. Bravo Hunter, bravo.

[@dawndean9600]

He’s amazing! Front runner! So talented and humble!! 👏👏👏

[@diahviohnstanley1319]

HE DID THAT!! I love him, his voice, and his song choices I’m pulling all the way for him I know that even if he doesn’t win which I hope he does he’s going to have an amazing career 🤍

[@kristin-artl.335]

Oh man! I'll support his sweet heart all the way! I love how beautiful his heart is!

[@skinnyfatnomore]

To those asking: Song is Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova

[@sceneandseenful]

That song is freaking difficult. He did it anyway

[@Jose-cu3ff]

By far the best moment this season.

[@thatstylishgirl546]

I was crying before he started crying...this was so touching. He lost his spot cause he connected with us and forgot himself for a sec

No he passed

[@gracietollefson4594]

His song The River took me by surprise. I originally just watched for Mary Jo, then stopped watching, but once I heard his song, I started listening to his other American Idol songs. I truly love his voice!

[@jimcian]

He is the best.he keeps on improving every week. Perfect song choice! I got teary eyed when he started crying. Damn! Best of luck hunter! 🤞 👍

[@wichayan2772]

He's my favorite 😭😭😭

[@jomargarra7007]

Let's continue supporting Hunter. Thank you! He's a real inspiration to all of us. We all know the story of how he's feeling down at d start of d competition knowing that evryone's talented and being haunted by d thought that we can never be better and gets left behind..that going through a lot of things while struggling gives us an idea to just give up. Man! He's an amazing singer and story teller that lets you ride and be one w/ his emotion. Few artists can do that nowadays..the purity, legit humbleness, vulnerability, etc. I'm running out of words..u know what I mean.

[@javierav8930]

I gotta love Katy she’s literally the best, what a sick and wonderful performance

[@nenitamesias2358]

I know there are some bigger voices, but Hunter is going to be the huge sleeper pick like Arthur Gunn! It's so unique and sweet to listen to. A lot of other folks just sound like...a lot of other folks. Go Ava, Willie, and Hunter!!!
