I like that Idol this season is having Idol alums come back to perform. I hope they continue that in the future.

I am watching Idol & they just announced Scotty next Sunday will be on & performing "Cab In A Solo."

I am surprised Idol asked Just Sam back.

Lainey's going for max spins 4/26-5/5.

Country artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame include Dolly, Willie Nelson, & Johnny Cash. Then there are artists who have dabbled & charted in country such as Sheryl Crow, Linda Ronstadt, John Mellencamp, etc.

It's a free theme, but Kayko will finally need to sing a cover.

I was thinking Roman, too.

Question: The voting last night did not open until after the show. Did this impact or change the results & the Top 10 that was voted through or did it not matter?

They are bringing the Idol contestants to CMA Fest. It's not just ABC. The last few seasons of FOX with Scott Borchetta as the label head also did the same thing. Nick Fradiani, Clark Beckham, Trent Harmon, etc. all were at CMA Fest due to Borchetta. Since the current label is mostly related to country music, it makes sense to go to CMA Fest.

Katy probably fought for him. She did say he gave an A performance.

The previous ABC Idol seasons contestants have said the producers tell them to write a list of songs they want to sing during the show. They will try to get them cleared. As long as there isn't a theme week, previous contestants have said they got songs that were on their list. Maybe it's not the first song on their list, but the one's that have talked about song choices have said songs were on their list they performed.

I was unsure of putting Triston as a frontrunner. Even though he's not my favorite, I picked him to win this season. Prior to last night, I was still considering him as a dark horse. He did well last night that I'm considering him more of a frontrunner, but I'm still unsure about labeling him that. If there's a tier in between dark horse & frontrunner that's where I would put Triston right now.

IMO KB was the potential dark horse. The frontrunners are Abi & Will.
