The Judges KNEW She Would Win American Idol! ✨

[@christyhoehn8244]

I went to her first concert here in the Coachella Valley.. she sold out the entire arena and sang mostly original songs for an hour and a half…. Long Standing ovation. Unbelievable talent and I met a woman and her little daughter in the elevator and she said Abby had been her gymnastics coach and everyone that knew her absolutely loved her to death… AMAZING BEAUTIFUL PERSON WITH AN OTHERWORLDLY VOICE- so lucky to be there for her first concert!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@heatherjane910]

Not just an incredible singer, but she’s so beautifully expressive. If she wants, Broadway would adore her.

[@TedsHoldOver]

Brother dropping to the ground for the best acoustics... I felt that. 👏

[@diegolucero9910]

Not acoustics... that's because he wanted to see her

[@andreab1433]

Can we talk about how her piano playing is just as beautiful and expressive as her singing? Love it!

[@alonzoporter9444]

We definitely need to talk about that!

[@maybee...]

Yes...

[@twothbeave]

Truth! What a talent….Phineas had to be thrilled.

[@amberdawnthemjohnsons9908]

She is vulnerable in the best of ways, sweet heart. I pray she has someone strong in her corner to guide her through this, and Hollywood doesn’t devour her & spit her out. I pray she is able to have time of her life & make it out on the other end, happy & successful!!

[@ME-tz5kr]

Hopefully she doesn’t say ‘i will’ to the devil

[@ritamcgovern2261]

I thought the same thing!

[@christyhoehn8244]

She has many good people behind her and she is smart but has her feet on the ground so I think she’s on her way to stardom in a healthy way.

[@aldohein6702]

It's hard to believe that someone can sing with the soul in such a profound way. This girl's talent is unbelievable!

[@juanitafredericks5843]

Her voice is a blessing from God. Please . . . Don't let fame taint you. Stay faithful.

[@hobman]

Why is that hard to believe? 😮

[@HAVOC_26]

They said she'd win, and she didn't disappoint. She sang her heart out every single song. She's going to have a beautiful and prosperous career. I wish her the best. Go get'em girl!

[@rickgillette2470]

This girls voice just grips your heart and tugs at it ever so gently asking you to come along for a walk.

[@ritamcgovern2261]

Yes!

[@mahalayananda]

What a transformational trip. Every performance gave you a feeling of being at a concert with her. She was definitely born for this.

[@MissGabriela829]

Wow!!! Best that has come out of American Idol in a LONG LONG LONG TIME. I am very excited for her and to hear her singing her own music.

[@anniebroadbent7961]

Her vocal control is incredible...and she plays the piano 💞💞

Her voice is so clean & pure! Wow!

[@Platotoolate-o]

When artists connect with music it’s crazy mind blowing

[@snahg2356]

My first thought when I heard her audition was, "She is going to win"! She has a unique personality, she is kind, and talented. She is also authentic.

[@leishablay1094]

She won already 2024

The single Mother of seven who spend her money to leave her kid to learn to play piano and like music is for me a hero. I like the change from her first song, step by step to became a superstar with a very big range. I hope she dont get lost in this taff music-system

[@kevinm6790]

What do you mean by leave her kid? What is a taff music-system?

[@ngumbao6252]

@@kevinm6790 I mean with 7 kid´s you youse every Dollar to survive, but the mother give this kid a chance for music (piano>). She saw her talent and save in a way money to spent it for her. By seven Kid´s was this a great job and this is for me a hero. Taff music-sysem means not along the talent is important, because more than 1000 Talents are in this world, without the promotion, Luck and and, you are in one-two years history even when you won American Idol

When I want an uplift I listen to her audition. After all this time I always get that warm feeling that only that comes from strong positive emotion.

Abi Carter, deserving win, Thank you judges, Lionel, Luke and Katty . Love you all

[@xXDEUC35Xx]

This is probably the most amazing emotional rollercoaster anyone can be on and she did such an amazing job. There was a song that I didn't feel was a great performance from her early on, but other than that one, I had goosebumps every single song she sang. She's a great singer. And being from where she's from, I be she has an even better personality. I grew up about an hour away and people in the entire area are usually pretty cool and down to earth. So happy that she was able to accomplish such an amazing feat and bring fortune to her family where it's literally a dream come true. Congrats Abi!

[@MsRocker961]

Abi has a beautiful voice, a humble, charming personality & the ability to seamlessly transcend many musical genres. Apart from her voice & artistic expression, her versatility is her greatest gift. She can adapt her voice to cover pop hits to musical theatre to soft rock & much more. This girl has that indefinable”it” factor, is incredibly DTE & humble but truly, with her gift, the world is her oyster.
