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 already won during the auditions. We have not heard this kind of voice since the late 90s/early 2000s.
Facts!!!!! Can’t believe she’s not on anymore!!!
I'm glad there's a reason to watch the show for another week.
She needs a better song choice
She should have keyed it up. She couldn't hit those low notes at the beginning so it was monotone and flat. She just growled the notes. Why did the judges not even mention that?
Goose bumps, she is really an artist ....Beauty Talent and heart. Her emotions cuts through.
Probably one of my favourite covers of this song ever. This is a special song to a lot of people and she nailed it.
She is so professional and talented. Should be in the top three for sure.
Honestly think her, emma, and julia are getting eliminated next week.
@@user-ke8qgIf she keeps performing like this then yes. I want her to make the finale but she needs to give us a banger.
Her and Abi are going to split votes in the top 3 & Triston Harper is going to walk away with the win🤔
@@jameelyusuf06yusuf27like this? this was a winning performance what are you on about
Hi
She's amazing! This performance gave me chills ❤
The way the emotions from her singing shot through my heart ❤ she has a way about the way she sings that just conveys what she's feeling 🥹
She's so talented and sings beautifully from her heart. She's a solid singer-songwriter.
One of my favorite songs ever and she did it amazing
Favorite song ever and love her voice! ❤️
My winner this season !!
Me too!! ❤
She is so talented & literally getting better with every performance. Pitch perfect, such control, beautiful stage presence, & that rasp. 🤯
Amazing performance from McKenna! This was a perfect song for her, and she gave a very emotional performance. I felt every word. That was her best performance to date.
Her voice is SO recognizable. Top 3 for sure.: McKenna Abi Jack
Can believe she didn’t make top 5 :(
❤
Abi & Jack & Tristen top 3 I think
This was a great song choice for her!!
This is why she should have been top 5 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I know who she is, I see her (whether she likes it or not) and I'll be following her career, from here on out 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was 16 in 1999. There was so much great music during that time.
MCKENNA IS AMAZING!! IM SO GLAD SHE MADE THE TOP 8!!!
She shouldn't have. She sang in a key that was too low at the beginning for her to handle. So she was monotone and flat.
I loved this. Your voice is beautiful. The smokey ness in it and your whole sound I absolutely love and could listen to all day. Good luck.Your already a star🥰🥰🥰
Another incredible performance by her. She's going to be in the top 3
Hope 2024 winner ❤
Wow, she really did good!!!
Let us know when you think she's done "well".
Her voice is so so wow. I 100% relate to wanting to know who I am. I want every album McKenna ever puts out. All of them.
MCKENNA 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ALL OF AZ HAS YOUR BACK! TOP 8 LETS GO
One of my favorite songs of all time, and one of my favorite covers of Iris ever.
The first time I heard her I figured top 3 for sure ❤❤
Such a beautiful performance !❤
That was one of the best cover of Iris I've ever heard.
not even close
@@NickyD "cover"
For real lol this was horrible @@NickyD
you should listen to Zoe Levert's version on The Voice. It aired like one week ago and is better than this version imo. I love Mckenna's husky tone though.
Lmao this must be the only one you've ever heard... she is pretty and has rasp buy other than that she isn't really that good at all
She should be in the top 3.
I have voted since Ruben Won. This voice blew away, and I am a music major and someone who is still apart of music
Hooray for McKenna in Top 8! ❤❤❤❤
Love her. She's amazing
Between this and the Iris cover from The Voice you could say our eardrums have been blessed.
Astonishing performance. Felt my hair raising from beginning to end. You can really feel the emotion👏👏👏
Love her!!!!!!❤❤❤
She to 🔥🔥 one of the best performances of the night
Ooh.. I hope the Goo Goo Dolls sing with her during the finale!!!!
Definitely should be in the top three, my opinion
She did so good on this song ❤
Absolutely beautiful!
Love her voice its so good 💓💓
WOW! This was fantastic
McKenna, PLEASE come sing in Bisbee. Everyone LOVED Amy and are so happy a part of her...the biggest part lives in you. The music and Kindness.
Zoe Levert on the voice just performed this last week and hit it out of the park !!
The Voice Australia did it w Emily and she KILLED IT
Loved the performance! My favorite!
SHES NOT SICK ANYMORE😂
In order to win, she needs to cover instantly recognizable standards like she did with "The Story", or "Both Sides Now". Blue Eyes Cryin' In the Rain, I Fall To Pieces, Blue Bayou, The Sound of Silence, The First Time Ever..., and so on are perfect for Mckenna's voice. Idol producers give great songs to choose from to those they hope will win. Great singers, Mckenna, is a great singer, don't get quite the choice of others. But a couple others (not to be named), seem to be who producers want in the final 3.
go McKenna!!!! rooting for youuuu for Top 3!!!!
She is my pick to win this year but I would have loved to've heard this song with just her and piano and her beautiful voice....
Definitely top five. Look forward to more.
Great performance
purring that rasp into the mic, working the camera. Lost a few notes in the lower, but so much passion, power in her midrange. Loved how the band increased the drama, let her sing her heart out. And she did.
She should be in the finale with Abi and Jack 🥹🥲
I’m here for her wow 🎉
FLAWLESS!!!! ❤
Absolutely Brilliant loved it 🎼🎵🎶🎹
I wish you will win asa you have win In heart with this song.
Lionel called her queen of the smoky voice and he wasn't wrong!! I love her look! I love her voice! She's in her own lane! Reminds me of Kim Carnes. I'd love to hear her do Bette Davis Eyes!
I remember Brook White to her. ❤
😢Another Az girl
So great.. born to be a star
Wow let’s gooooo Kenna 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had just about said, another one using Iris for their audition? Then I heard the first 20 seconds and was captivated. No idea who she is, but she did a damn amazing job with this song.
She did really I really wish she could’ve gone frearhet
Did anyone notice the single piece of confetti dropped by her mother at 0.40 on this video?? 😇
She’s gonna win! Wow 🤯
OMG Congratulations McKenna Faith Breinholt for making through to The Top 8, You deserve It & When you sing ''Irish'' By Goo Goo Dolls During your performance of American Idol Tonight Wow I thought you did such A great & Amazing Job, You sound like You Put your own spin to It By making sound like your own, It was really good & Very Entertainment!!! 👏👏👏👏
It’s Iris
The start was rough (I think from her cold), but once she hit that chorus, she sounded great. Maybe best of the night.
Amazing song choice!!! Ready to purchase her debut album!!
BEAUTIFUL
incredible voice
I hear you singing more Jazz songs McKenna, with that lovely sultry voice...like "Smile" xoxo
love it!!!!
So so great
Very pleasant tone. Although I find it a little underwhelming compared to the version of Zoe Levert from The Voice.
Would love to hear her sing a Carole King song !
MasyaAllah...Her Raspy voice just beyond and reminds me of Laci Kaye Booth with thicker & lower tone ... ❤. Congrats for making it to Top 8 McKenna...👍🏻
Please sing "angel by sarah mclehan😊
Congratulations McKenna! Well deserved!
She reminds me of Miley Cyrus, so unique . Theres something in her voice , which makes her so special, a complete package.
The only reason to keep watching this season at this point is
Dah bomb!!!😍😍
It was another surprising event with these contestant Kaibrenne and McKenna being the bottom 2 Wanting her to make it to the top 3 Vote ✔️ 🎶🎙️🤗
Wow the voice is impress me
Bravo ❣️ I bet Johnny Rzeznik appreciates this performance.
Great job
We have the winner
Wish the verse was as strong as the chorus but still a good job 😊
Lovely
Seriously?!?!? She's amazing!!!!
Who else wants to hear her sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” or “Holding Out For A Hero” by Bonnie Tyler? Would also love to hear her sing “Landslide” by Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac.
stevie nicks land slide
My favorite…
Oooh 👌🏼🔥
The fact that she almost got sent home is RIDICULOUS! McKenna deserves to win the whole thing. Although if history is an indicator, she'd be better off not winning. Get out and start working on a record because we want it! Nonetheless, she should be sweeping the votes every week.
The deep rich raspiness of her voice is out this world ❤
I think that's one of the things I particularly dislike about it. Funny, how we all like different things. (And it looks like I'm in the minority so she doesn't need to worry about my opinion!)
❤
Not sure it's wise to sing this song in a lower register than the dude who sang it originally.
My top 3 Abi Julia Mckenna
I'm so sad Triston and Abi are the frontrunners, McKenna is so much better and original.
I feel like we've seen her in previous years . She's good but I def don't see her as The winner. But she does have a beautiful Stevie nicks kinda voice
What a wonderful and innovative arrangement. A true artist.
The Nxt American Idol ♥️
