The Story of McKenna Breinholt | Beyond American Idol

[@kellyarmstrong4353]

Yes yes yes. McKenna is one of the best, distinctive voices I’ve heard in a long time. A perfect champion!

[@patjones9464]

Oh yes! Her voice is angelic. She doesn't sound like anyone else, which is what I love about her. Our next American Idol!!!

[@ravenrpg3865]

Late at night when all your work and errands are done for the day put on one of these Idol videos and close your eyes while listening to her. It's incredibly peaceful.

[@matthewong2800]

I totally believe Mckenna has everything that it takes to win season 22 of American Idol. Thanks for the recap and she has proven to me and many other fans and voters of hers she has the vocal talent and looks to advance to the top. She was most vulnerable when she was under the weather two weeks ago, but we mananged to keep her in the competition. So continue to vote, vote, and vote some more.

[@arnoldabramson9383]

She's out.

[@paulpowell5901]

Loved her,

[@dickbrouwer2322]

McKenna seems to be an exceptionally talented woman who understands the art of connecting with people and her audience. Captivated by her performances!

[@kevinsteele5967]

mckenna is my favorite voice as her range is both controled and comforting hopefuly she makes an album

[@CharlesIde-p6d]

she has a few singles out

[@lisefernstrom636]

Absolutely YES ,She is incredibly talented ,her voice is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cherylgneiting244]

Absolutely!! Each time I hear her sing, she moves me to tears!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sharonroossin7814]

What a great time in life to connect with your Birth Family...Celebrate winning American Idol with all your families.... Go for it

[@KenCoghill-m7v]

By far the best story of the year with over 10 million views of McKenna Breinholt family story! Truly Remarkable!

[@adrianebesser7574]

Love, love, love her voice!!! Connects with her songs, brings you in, absolutely amazing!!! Our next American Idol!!!

[@irenebarron-gn6oh]

She has a most unique and beautiful voice, and can stir up emotions through her music. An immensely lovely and talented young woman.

[@edrivera4574]

McKenna got robbed! One of the best singers on the show 🎶🎵🎵🎤❤🥰

[@americanmade7997]

McKenna has what it takes to win in life and in the music industry. I could listen to that voice for life. For those who love and appreciate the ones that are able to make u feel the lyrics and connect, shes exactly what we love to listen to a need. Adele has that power with her songs... Mckenna's bread n butter are those emotional type songs and i hope she realizes how many deep and emotional souls out there love the way she masters the art of connection through her music.

[@kimberlyrogers5417]

McKenna is hands down my favorite American Idol contestant of ALL time. ✨I haven’t watched an episode of A.I. since she was voted off… it feels as if we were only watching to discover/support her journey. 💝

[@andreacox5502]

I knew Amy and I know she would be so proud of her baby girl ❤

[@EdtonSuc]

¿Porque la abandonó? 😢 No lo comprendo lo cierto es que le heredó una bellísima voz. Por cierto ¿Su madre biologica era latina?

[@garpgump]

Very cool.

[@kingakwiatkowska5137]

Why she didn’t keep her baby girl?

[@TinaGuidry-b1i]

Absolutely yes....my favorite💕

[@andymcgannjr3827]

I absolutely love her voice and have been waiting to hear her on the radio

[@donnalynn3933]

I love her! ❤️ She looks like an angel and sings like an angel 😇 💖 💗

[@LaNelleGallant]

Her voice and prescence is like no other contestant. I hope she wins.

[@davidcruz9364]

I think her talent is 🎉so gifted..., good luck all the way to the top!

[@chiox1121]

awesome &angelic Voice. She will WIN

[@edrivera4574]

I'm voting for her! She's awesome and has a beautiful voice ❤🎤🎵🎶🥰

[@CharlesIde-p6d]

She doesn't need to win, she's on her way. Abi is a talent to be applauded.

[@bobbyjewett1994]

Wow,you go, will see you on stage soon.God has blessed you. Yes you have the goods.

[@rcparaso7839]

I hope she can have her full album with this song. Love her

[@nicolaasburger1637]

One of the best voices ever, she will be a star depending that she be pushed too hard and quick and protected from exhaustion.

[@aubreygibbs-mr7nz]

Yes I believe she has what it takes! She's already a star to me...I love her raspy vocals...I can listen to her sing alot longer than the other contestants...I'd buy her music.😊

[@victorcortez6947]

I'm in-between McKenna and Abigail Carter love them both ❤

[@janiceabel8272]

I was rooting for you from the beginning to win on American Idol and was so disappointed to see you go! I loved your voice and singing. I thought you had the best voice from what I could hear through my television. i hope you do not give up and go on and release your own album.

[@margaretplumb5215]

Wait-she isn’t gone yet! Katie saved her, did she not?

[@corgisandtea8257]

She was saved by Katy!

[@pamelaarnett6460]

Absolutely. Most talented and lovely.

[@Danmeenach]

This girl will go far! Something tells me she will be the next American Idol! ❤

[@lisaautry621]

Her voice is like no others. I can listen to her sign all day long.

[@2ndhandSue]

She has the ability to win; and she certainly deserves to win. Her voice is stunning; just like Lionel mentioned at her audition "and the cry -- that little cry in your voice.................". She has a very distinctive singing voice that's such a pleasure to listen to, but it isn't just her voice - she also has the most amazing personality that just fills the room. Yes, she could win!

[@tonydoe877]

Absolutely loved her from the first…very beautiful….good luck incredible lady❤️😍

[@sharongreene6015]

Yes, McKenna is a Super Star she deserves to win the 2024 America Idol award. Her voice is timeless, she evokes emotions with her audiences, every songs she sing could be a collection of other celebrities song covers that’s how amazing she is, similar to how Whitney Houston made other artist songs a hit. McKenna is a natural talent, I really don’t understand why we haven’t heard her on the radio.

[@fredshaw3834]

She should be in the top 3 going into the final round this Sunday!

[@joannemackenzie2586]

Canadian Fan 🇨🇦 of McKenna , and the Best Is Yet To Come 💯🕊🫶🌻

[@aamm4369]

Yes she is the very best on IDOL

[@hurkledurkler4691]

I am a huge McKenna fan!!! God bless Her and Her Family!!

[@ItsMe-xm5sz]

I am rooting for her!

[@michelleao7994]

McKenna is incredibly talented

[@russfnz]

Yes! I would like her to do another quality gospel song!

[@michelepapero690]

McKenna is my favorite.

[@JoeDuke-oe7hw]

i will between her an abi two great singer's but better yet great people

[@oops44]

Yes, McKenna Breinholt has what it takes to win American Idol.

[@sharonroossin7814]

yes she does,

[@markgood8518]

As Lionel has stated “ she’s the Queen of husky” love her voice! , her story, and her beauty. I get the chills watching how proud her adoptive parents are. Shout out to her parents! She was made for you both.

[@KINGCONN990411]

Had Katie not decided on day one who the winner would be ,then YES , she should have won !!Sorry, the winners first audition(What was I made for) was beautiful but her overall body of work was not close to McKenna's TRUTH!!

[@ragnarmossberg2023]

She’s without any doubt the best of all contestants! Actually way ahead of second best. What a disgrace it would be if she did not win! She has the star quality no one else can match!

[@maluaguilar880]

I love her sultry voice i 'm her fan from Philippines

[@gaylelambert9337]

McKenna should not have been voted out. She has an amazing voice. America got it wrong!

[@brademerine2974]

I miss her tonight. She would’ve killed any Disney song!!!

[@TraderLane702]

Amazing and. beautiful! She could do some great work with hair and makeup commercials! Along with that beautiful voice!

[@KenCoghill-m7v]

Yes, she was top three to me and my number 1…..

[@TammyGaspard-p1c]

She is absolutely a great contender for the top consideration!!!!

[@fredshaw3834]

100% Yes- All the way.

[@KenCoghill-m7v]

She should have gone further, but we have to remember that the voters are teenagers! She was my number one!!

[@johnthomasmoulton8934]

Looks, voice, personality... She could go very far

[@pandaplutten2573]

What a unique voice!

[@ktrump5882]

Yip she's the best Contestant for this Season. She'll be great no matter what happens.

[@benjaminpritchard3084]

LOVE McKenna

[@KenCoghill-m7v]

She was my number one! But it’s an uphill battle when going against a Southern California voting block for Abi Carter!!

[@patbuegeler7770]

❤❤She was a beautiful singer.

[@chirstopheranlcock4616]

What a wonderful story she is beautiful and great voice what a shame about her mother and father.

[@gregklein547]

Mckenna in my heart you won.❤ You may have been eliminated but you did not lose.

[@gregklein547]

So when is your tour start?

[@gregklein547]

And remember there is Jesus.

[@paulpowell5901]

Loved her,so was Will,and Abi too,if they could have a tie all 3 woulda been #1 to me

[@markwest9119]

Yes, she has what it takes to win, but if anyone seeing this comment has access to McKenna or her family, PLEASE get this message to her. She is on American Idol, not American Band. Her performance of Both Sides Now was the last time her incredible voice and innate ability to connect to the song and the audience was allowed to be the exclusive star. Ever since then the volume of the band (whether as a whole or even a single instrument) has been too loud! It is diminishing the magic. McKenna's voice and her talent is MORE than enough. The judges' comments on her last performance keyed in on how she draws us in, the whole room gets quiet, and we almost stop breathing. That's correct, but the stupid overly load band is getting in the way! Please McKenna and McKenna's family stand up for yourself and insist the focus gets back to McKenna and not the band. When she played the piano herself on both sides now Katy commented that McKenna "is such a pro". Exactly! She knew not to pound away at the piano keys but used them beautifully to add to the magic of the overall performance, instead of it being a distraction. McKenna can win this thing, but a portion of her votes depends on the emotional connection the audience gets with the specific performance being voted for. McKenna is the star, not the band or any band instrument (even an acoustic guitar). I hope this message gets through to her. We love your performances Mckenna, and we want to hear YOU not an overpowering band.

[@nancyweakley2070]

LOVE! BRILLIANT!🥰🐾

[@denisehilton5633]

She sould have won. Hands down the best voice on the show.

[@debbiejohnson3183]

Yes love her voice

[@philipyaditing737]

She will prevail

[@sunnybntomb]

She was my pick. 🎉

[@Koolc77]

Yes I definitely think she could win the next season if she really puts her mind to it

[@robertshahon6420]

she should have won, she was one of the best

[@n.diannereece4355]

She has been my favorite since the beginning and now she is gone. I have watched every episode of American Idol. I won’t watch anymore because the women never seem to win. I am very disappointed that McKenna has left the Competition and not because she didn’t sing well. I wish her well.🩷

[@BrianWhitaker-v8s]

Absolutely she can do it

[@elishaherrera2407]

Yes, she does!!

[@paulburns5805]

Absolutely

[@chuckthedieck5504]

I think she could win it all

[@AlexysLoyal0490]

Is that really a question? she's already won!!! ❤

[@marthatitman6578]

I think she does, got what it takes.

[@mrcoffeebean2616]

Yup, she's my winner! Just like how I predicted Carrie Underwood the grand winner during her audition.

[@victorcortez6947]

I think McKenna should have got at least #2 Place😮

[@MoneyGrip70]

I love you m c ❤💍

[@tomroy7332]

I would have guessed that Mckenna and Abi would have gone head to head in the final. Disappointing she didn't make top 5

[@neilonicko1]

I like McKenna and her story but I have a really strong feeling for Emily Russel to win this season..

[@robertstanderford8438]

She needs to sing a Sade song!

[@josephew61]

Yes

[@LaIndia1717]

What I don't get is all these stories never speak about her Dad who was equally an important factor in her being born and musical talents. Why do they act like the parents weren't together and no one knows who dad is it's literally Nowhere Man

[@KINGCONN990411]

Win or lose she is launched if she is careful of the pitfalls of that nasty business(the music industry)

[@KINGCONN990411]

AMEN!!

[@kennethsabey2034]

Not sure what America did not like about her. I thought she could have won it all.

[@vturengvtureng150]

I'm really scared about judge side the big fan of Abi yeah Abi is good but she sang only first audition very sad season 22 winner goes to Abi carter😢

[@annettesoto4739]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sharik467]

She has a lovely voice, but I never understand why the let people who have already performed professionally compete in American Idol. I thought that the completion was supposed to be about discovering raw unprofessional talent yet to be discovered.

[@lanistreb3676]

It's a toss up between Abi and McKenna.

[@pattischaub-whiteley3418]

I think she should have won. Nothing against Abi Carter.

[@gsts379]

I love McKenna singing and vocal interpretation, but the smoky, husky sound in her voice is a sign that her vocal cords which have been damaged This is especially worrying for her young age. I hope she can work with a vocal coach to learn techniques to protect and improve her voice.

[@donniemeyer6678]

She should have won.

[@carlcatapano5395]

To much competition, but very good!

[@barbaraclavier706]

Why did Kady say she was worried about her voice. McKenna is a much much better singer than Kady.

[@tammyvolpe6250]

Was Derrick Makenna’s father as well

[@karenrussell9672]

Yes, however she has made connections with people and this will carry her regardless of a win.
