Gotta another kcountry boy going to make it....good luck dude..

beane you are fine.

Damn onions

Yeah. She will win. Not even close

great voice but some pitch problems

Omg! OMG! OMG!!!

1:22 waoo

She could win this 👍😷👌

That was beautiful

That's a winner... beautiful song, beautiful young lady... proud father , this and the Grace of GOD keep him sober ✝️🙏😂😘

She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I love her 😍🖤

She's beautiful.

Sooooo incredible! Her voice is so beautiful

Tears 😢😢❤️❤️ beautiful song and voice

Ok she is great but she is not that great, there were some rough notes

like where has she’s been

This season I can't with the talents lost count of my favorites 😃

Wow👍👍

In a way, she's like a goldfish... And if she was able to grow that large in such a tiny town, just imagine how big she could become in a larger city, with all that extra room to grow! Yes. YEs. YES! 💗

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She forced her voice to much. She would be way better if she didn't push so much

Nothing like a little pressure from Katie on old papa Lionel

I’m in tears! That was amazing! Stunning! Wow!

Imagine Jennifer Hudson voice coaching her....up & up goes her level eh.

It felt kinda over the top could’ve tune it down a little on the runs but overall nice voice......

so this guy gets a yes not you aren't mainstream enough like the unbelievably talented guy the other day who got a no. SO inconsistent

Pop Star Anthony iykyk

Sooooo cute and smooth loveee it

She reminds me of an Edie Brickell.

I need this song to be on my playlist like now!!

This girl is it! This is the next one EVERYONE remember her name! Write it down we just witnessed the next biggest name to come to the music industry!!

Shes amazing! Also she looks like that mean girl from Camp Rock lol

unique voice - i liked this

she looks like britney spears

OMG...little Hudson just born again on American Idol. Dang!

We heard he voted for Trump...TWICE (EACH ELECTION!!!!)

She better SANG! I think we may have a winner here and she’s from my state.

She's changing the competition. Top 5 so far.

Holy Cow!!!!!

People saying she’s overdoing it clearly aren’t into musical theatre, she gives me very theatrical vibes. Incredible.

Katy you disappointed me with this one smh, he’s original and did way better than 90% of those who have auditioned this season!

Alyssa Wray, your voice so amazing, love from Indonesia

😢😢😢 Arghhhh beautiful song and moment for them!!!

What a POWERFUL VOICE! Top 5 in my book!!

I love New Paltz

Pretty sure producers told her to break down half way through song! Kind of cringe ……so many people fall for these sob stories! Why do all of these shows have this prerequisite now that you have to have some kind of traumatic life experience or your out?

Beautiful... She is gorgeous...

OHMYGOSH YES🙌🏼 So good!!

Im your number#1 fan. Ok.

Has to be top three with a voice like that. Unbelievable. Awesome talent right here guys. What a beautiful charming young lady. Loved it !

Those were 100 percent NOT happy tears... She looks terrified c'mon! 🤣

HOW DID SHE MAKE IT THROUGH THE SONG WITHOUT BAWLING

the show is pre-produced. you're being lied to! watch 3:39-3:43 and pay attention... It's all lies!

People on here confusing screaming with belt. I'm not even a particular fan of this kind of music. But good lord, her belt voice....power. She's gotta learn to rein it in just a little, and work on her head tone, but the raw talent that is here with her breath control in her belt, her vibrato, she's got a real chance.

Pity myself coz my only way to watch AI is here in YT.

Meh

This dude show how he can perform in a family show, lol

Amazing! Can’t believe Luke said no. Can’t wait to see what else he can do.

Chopping onions…

I like this! Great personallity

Next American Idol here!!!!!

She is incredible.

Sorry too much screaming. Needs to learn subtlety. I'd like to hear her sing a song..

I wasn't crying before she even started...YOU were crying before she even started!

Wow! She may win the whole thing! She can sing!👏👏👏👏👏⚘

I've never seen anything like her shape. I'm not making fun of her with this comment. I'm honestly just blown away by the uniqueness of it.

a little bit of whitney houston and jennifer hudson....i like it.

Loud

Crazy good. She really has everything. I hope we see her in the finals.

she went to my school

A lovely woman with a great voice eh....me too being a Jennifer Hudson fan.

The competition is over! You win!

Is not for American idol he can go to a tv kids show 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's a winning audition for me.... we found a winner 🔥... Wait a minute! this year Idols competition is so tight. 🤞🙆🏾

She's beautiful and talented. I'm so happy she has dad back❤❤❤

OMG she is soo beautiful and her voice, I m in love but I cant reach her height...

I'm sorry but I thought she was awful.

Best of the while night by far... and it’s not even close...

She is winning the American idol 2021

He could win this thing. And I rarely agree with Katy but she was on point here.
