[@gabrielA95-t5o]

Man she hits some notes that are absolutely beautiful. So sweet and clear

[@MrYeahitsalright]

But mostly she didn't hit it.

[@gabrielA95-t5o]

@@MrYeahitsalright Yep. That was always going to be her downfall

[@kristenelizabeth4118]

You have touched millions of hearts singing on American Idol! You’re an inspiration to us!!! Keep Climbing!!! ❤️You 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dadison]

This was beautiful! So proud of the progress she has made for herself!

[@marypiccirillo6308]

[@sandystevens7046]

I love this young ladies climb its been star making,Go Emmy...waiting on that album

[@jacquelinekiester6863]

The is so beautiful ♥️your voice is just so unique!! Can’t wait to hear more!!!

[@CorriePatterson]

I just love her!❤️

[@HoraceHeidt]

What an inspiring performance. Emmy “getting there is half the fun!”

[@donnalynn3933]

She has her own voice, her self identity! 🎶

[@michellebowling1979]

I love her. She’s genuinely her. She doesn’t try to do anything that’s not authentic to her. I think her insecurity will get worked out as she keeps getting more people wanting to work with her. I think she has less confidence than the others because of the pressure she’s always felt being the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn. But, she is such a natural person. She’s just her and she has a soothing voice. I can’t wait to see what she does. I think it will be very obviously her but with the confidence of knowing she made it❤

[@BleedinBlueSince06]

Well said, exactly this! It's everything I've loved about her since her audition.

[@SherriRice74]

❤THANKS FOR POSTING BETTER QUALITY AS I HAD TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLES VERSIONS WHICH AT LEAST I GOT TO SEE THEM PERFORM❤ MUCH LOVE & BLESSINGS TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK & EFFORT

[@beealexanders2450]

SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE HER GRANDMA LYNN WITH JUST A LITTLE VOCAL HELP IT WILL BEE AWESOME SHES REALLY VERY SHY BUT BECAUSE SHES A BABY ❤ SHE IS JUST BEAUTIFUL I LOVE HER ALREADY AND HER GRANDMA LORETTA

[@rockfordrocker8971]

She needs vocal training. That said, she has a tone to her voice that is unique and can't be taught. Vocal technique CAN be taught, and she will shine when she learns . Also, she's pretty and has star pedigree. Both matter and I predict she'll be a star.

[@docdoscojazz]

Good analogy. Her technique needs to be re-imagined if possible at her age. Sometimes singers get locked in to bad habits.... I recall seeing her sing when she was much younger and she a charming natural voice and unique musical inflections... a kind of a warble that someone convinced her to delete from her style. Too bad. She isn't blessed with the ability to do carry out vocal gymnastics... her pitch gets funky, IMO, but she had a rare gift when she was a kid that I no longer hear... but that is just me. She has good tone, but she sounds like she is fighting her natural inclinations. Maybe someone told her not to sound so much like granny. A big mistake as far as I am concerned....

[@billyfranklin8907]

She is the granddaughter of Loretta Lynn. She go far

[@dellaharris4570]

Your so wonderful!

[@gabrielA95-t5o]

Although sometimes she’s inconsistent, she hits some notes that are gorgeous, and up there with the best of anyone this season

[@christineazbell8743]

Emmy you don't have to win to shine.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

That was a good choice of song for Emmy, I love that she didn’t try to do what Miley Cyrus did with it, she did her own arrangement which I think is very smart, I think her best performance that she did that night!

[@elizabethhurley1129]

Bless her heart - she sounds so nervous. I hope someone can work with her on confidence and consistency. She seems to be such a sweet person. Best of luck to her!!

[@HaleyGarrison03]

Ice picks in my ears

[@tonyalanb]

She gave it to her best shot

[@KevW-z7z]

First time I've ever heard her and love it. And she's so hot

[@justinm.1]

For some reason, I was thinking she could’ve done another Hannah Montana song, “Love that lets go” (maybe for vocal range) 🤔 but I think she did alright on this one 🙂👍🏼

[@jtudor9869]

Not winning the title of American Idol doesn't mean an end or even a derailment for Emmy Russell. Jennifer Hudson finished in seventh place American Idol 2004 and she is already an EGOT winner. Miranda Lambert finished third behind two men in the 2003 music competition show Nashville Star. Who can even name both the men that finished ahead of her without the aid of Google?

[@Blobbyyy]

Hey, I can sing like her too. Bravo

[@amandawease1900]

She’s good! But I also feel like she has a lot of work to do with voice. Best of luck Emmy!

[@TheMontyOriginal]

She’s the next Dolly!!!❤❤❤❤

[@billyfranklin8907]

For those who didn’t know she is the granddaughter of the late great Loretta Lynn. This is not the last we’ll hear from her

[@FirstAppearanc3]

She struggled to climb 😢

[@kaylove3916]

Haha she fell of the Climb!!

[@patriciarathbun4829]

She will get there, she has to find more confidence.

[@tommystrong9047]

Hey Emmy, fellow Kentucky Grammy winner Rebecca Lynn Howard does voice lessons to help hit those notes! In less than a month youd have a perfect voice. :)

[@Hana-pj3wp]

This song should be in her record. Close your eyes n you'll know how good she is.

[@wendymassey9963]

I think she’s sweet but just doesn’t have a strong voice and only think she made it this far because of her family history.

[@michalideus2]

Am I right that I hear many pitchy moments?

[@LiwaySaGu]

she's been pitchy in all her songs!

[@kelleyspartiatis4776]

You're right.

[@michaelhartling6809]

Actually a little bit.

[@michalideus2]

@@LiwaySaGu hehe I haven't seen all of her performances yet

[@kylemetcalfe376]

Absolutely. She is incredibly pitchy. She definitely doesn’t deserve to be this far in the competition and her family history most definitely has a big role of this and will for her future. She 💯 needs vocal lessons. She does have a unique voice but it needs more support and she needs to hear it played back to her so she can hear what she’s doing.

[@joansclafani7813]

She has a voice. But Katy is right.

[@traceyraybould7148]

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 no competition. Not good enough unfortunately 😔

[@ljstince]

Abi Carter is far superior. Gaining confidence is great but not at this stage. Much better singers were eliminated. I hope she does well in the business and someone else wins.

[@thatgirlcai]

Did y’all see Tristan’s mom just enjoying and cheering on EMMY.

[@sandystorey8781]

That was awful. I really liked her too🥴

[@Quantumtraveler707]

Judge's sometimes struggle to give them something positive. This was not a good song for her.

[@courtneycoley8487]

Yikes.. a lot of middle and ending parts sounded like a dying cat

[@kaylove3916]

lol

[@bdoubleu6]

I have no idea how she is here and mckenna is not 🤦‍♂️

[@Davethreshold]

I have to be honest: She's a C+ at best.

[@kelvinwicker1383]

Emma shine right through Miley Cyrus the climb and Emma had one of the best voices on American Idol this season.

[@nancyjackson9026]

Don’t quit your day job

[@HaleyGarrison03]

Abi is the obvious winner

[@jessicam5532]

she reach more fame than the actual winner!!!

[@iris089]

All of the Idol contestants in Idol history that sang The Climb went home. She should have picked a different song. Maybe a Country ballad song.

[@KALM_14]

What is his name?

[@allegrabuttle7152]

okay slowly ill play defense on individuality as you play laid back on offense... stay with me

[@joannaaguilar4961]

Emmy Russell sounds way better than miley cyrus, so miley cyrus doesn't sound better 14 years later she's no good

[@loriholsclaw6195]

She simply doesnt have a strong enough voice. Not good at all.

[@m1keyfreshhh256]

This was terrible. Let’s be real. She doesn’t have the power or the control for this kind of song. Idk how she lasted longer then KB or McKenna. Like Emmy is cool and deff top 10. But nowhere near top 5

[@Chrysteeyoung1993]

I agree. People aren't saying it was bad just to not hurt her feelings. She does have a good voice but this song isn't for her.

[@LOMU925]

Yikes

[@flwrgrl13]

Sucks she didn't make the top 3!

[@SunnyMedusaGumballBoombox]

Not really she’s just entertaining not singer type like abu

[@foxcrew7296]

I'm not crying. I am very strong connection to her so this broke my heart last night

[@AkramAkram-yt2gf]

As she should she should v been out long time ago

[@TBLymphoma]

I don’t think she’s that good. She can’t get high notes… Abi is the winner!

[@Lady1nMN]

I didn't like her singing this song.

[@CookietheYorkie]

Its unfair :(

[@billielogsdon9359]

I love her but not my favorite that she's done.

[@sondragramse1770]

In the minority here... voice not strong enough!

[@Chrysteeyoung1993]

She is very pretty with a gorgeous voice BUT this was terrible.

[@ellenburris4727]

She is not good enough!!!

[@ellenburris4727]

Terrible.

[@MisterTooz]

For having so much going for her, she constantly sings depressing and sometimes "suicidal" songs. The girl has issues and watching her mother in the audience, something just doesn't seem right between these two. Constantly had to name drop about grandma Loretta Lynn and became very obvious she didn't have her own identity. This far into the competition, "nerves" shouldn't be an issue. She won't make it in the business because the first rejection she receives, she'll be found hiding in a closet.

[@SunnyMedusaGumballBoombox]

Ture she had a lot of nerves

[@dluv101]

Blah, blah blah. A bunch of nonsensical bloviating from the typical hater. Emmy will definitely be successful with music. She's already an inspiration to millions of people!

[@sharkbites5472]

@@dluv101 i’m not a hater at all. She’s just good that’s all, not great! She sounds like a child not an idol!✌

[@MisterTooz]

@@dluv101 Inspiration? Not at all. Not sure why she put herself through this, she's a basket case. Besides a voice, you need a personality and confidence. She had none of that and looking into those eyes, she was scared to be told no. Should have been gone before the top 25, but they sympathized with her sob story and whiny antics.

[@dluv101]

@@MisterTooz She comes across very sweet and smart. Most people don't care for overconfident divas. Emmy finished in the top 5 and is already releasing her own music, so yes, you do sound like a hater because your opinions are not facts

[@HaleyGarrison03]

She can’t sing….

[@francescadac6082]

Winning American Idol is not the only way to reach the top, just look at Jennifer Hudson, Katherine McPhee, Adam Lambert, and Chris Daughtry!!!
