AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returns on ABC.
American Idol 2024
Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation are music industry forces and superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest continues as host of the beloved series, for the historic 22nd season.
She finally got her winning moment with confetti coming down.😢
Considering how much the music industry left her behind after winning American Idol 2020, it was so wonderful seeing Just Sam finally have her big moment on stage.
So deserved.. We love you Sam 💞💞💞
@@RobertJohnson-bj5lkI'm surprised they wanted to work with each other again considering she had to use her prize money to buy her music back from them since they refused to let her make the music she wanted to and instead tried to force her to conform to what they wanted.
For the first time in four years, we love and miss Just Sam so much. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is my first time hearing her voice and seeing her. She is gorgeous with a beautiful voice. I sense there is a very special story from the comments, but I just see a fabulous singer who sang every note just right. I loved this performance!
i hear a houston within live on
@@kristinmichellenooooo waaayyy
She looks so spectacular. I hate to hear how hard she's struggled since winning. American idol needs to do right by her. Hopefully this is a new start.
They won't. You have to carve your own lane. Everything Jennifer Hudson has done is not because of Idol it was in spite of Idol.
@@ThatGirl551 Jennifer was not an Idol winner, just a contestant. Fantasia who won her season always come back to promote her music. They seem to have supported their winners unlike the Voice.
@@jeannedecembre4514 Duh.
What happened after her win?
@@skymama65 I think she experienced bouts of homelessness & went right back to the subway performing for money like she was doing before idol. She looks cleaned up but that may be because they needed her for the special & she may be back down in the subway.
Anyone feel Whitney Houston. The dress the sound. Just Sam is a Star!!
Couldn’t hold my tears in. This is YOUR MOMENT Sam! 🥹❤️
Same hear 😢 ❤❤❤
Same ❤
This will go down as one of the most memorable moments for Idol to me. To have a girl who has to win from Zoom, finally getting her moment!! Having the confetti and sparks coming down for her was a moment forever
Amen, well said👏🏽💜
She is on another level. She is absolutely brilliant. 💯
Yes - more womanly and matured. That's great
I’m glad she got an opportunity on stage at American Idol. 2020 was difficult due to Covid, and she struggled afterwards to find the right fit. I do pray this is another start and she doesn’t give up.
I recall watching her sing 🎶 on every show. I'm glad she was brought back to sing 🎉❤
She has a team behind her now.. so happy for her

Change of management and label. She had to go back to performing at the subway for a time. Now she’s back!
Am i the only one who heard Whitney Houston
I had to cry cause she came a long way just beautiful Samantha god got you keep believing and leaning on his understanding.
This is so special to me. I was incarcerated during the pandemic and hearing her sing each week was such a highlight for me! I’ve been following her on social media since I came home in 2021! I’m so so so proud of you Sam! You deserved this ! I will forever be a fan 🎉
