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.
The guy on the piano was doing his thingggggg! And Jayna is just straight talented! I’m an OG baby Jayna fan and i love her growth!
Yes!!
the pianist is amazing
Yes the pianist is wonderful too
She’s the best so far in my opinion. Sounds like the actual American Idol I remember hearing in the early seasons. Great Job!
I agree that she is the best so far vocally, but as we know after how many seasons, its not always the best vocalist who wins. Most of the time it's not.
no one in early american idol sounded that good lol
@@natenate330 lol stop it. Kelley Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Melida Doolittle, Clay Aiken all sounded brilliant and killed their auditions, just to name a few.
Literally hundreds did, this girl is a pageant singer that failed under pressure last season.
She absolutely killed this song 😮 I still got chills 😊
Her voice is a blend of Miley Cyrus and Monica!! Like dead on!! She’s amazing!!
Yessss I thought that too. Miley rasp & and Monica tone
great observation! agreed
My 1st thoughts when I heard her sing ❤❤ and her runnssss 🔥🔥🔥
returning for a 2nd chance, picking a Big song, flowing into the melody with emotion and intent. It's like she jumped off the cliff and sailed. Loved the church stops and then she pulled out the long-held notes. Amazing! Very well crafted arrangement. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
Thank you, love your analysis of the singers.
That was an A-LIST diva moment. I really missed this style of singing! This really reminded me very first few seasons of American Idol back when it started.
I have a feeling she’s going to win! Love how distinctive, new and amazing her voice is! She can do it all!
Whew! That would be wonderful@@ArealConnection
You described it perfectly.
I’ve probably watched this a dozen times in the last few days- IMO one of the best Idol auditions EVER. So creative with the arrangement, and she nails every single note (which there are a lot of) but more importantly is emotionally connected!
Thank you sooo much!! That's all I ever wanna do is make people feel something.
WHAT?! This rendition of this song is insane as if the original isn’t hard enough to sing?! She is a force to be reckoned with! Love her attitude too!
Just watched this audition. It was mind blowlingly good. The best I have heard this season so far. She has a phenomenal voice.
def not the best this season, she has work to do
Probably Abi Carter in my opinion, but she's top 10 I think.
Have you heard abi
No
@@chubacabra88 So I went back and watched Abi Carter's audition. It was also phenomenal. She had a Sara Bareilles vibe to her and I love Sara. Yeah I think Abi and Jayna are top 10.
i will always remember what she did for a former contestant Fire, Fire was abandoned by her duet partner on the second round of hollywood week and Jayna stood up risking her own spot to sing with Fire, not only an amazing singer but also an amazing person, i’m so glad she’s back sounding better than ever
Same ima fan of hers because of that.
I thought that was her!! Yes!! She’s amazing!!
Ohhhh so that’s what Luke’s comment was about at the very end!
She and another girl were also the ones that let Adin join their group when he was struggling. She def should’ve made top 24 last time and I think she’s gonna go far. One of the best of the season for sure.
That explains why her name seemed familiar. I believe that was 2022... Maybe 21
I love her rendition of this song. She did well. She made it her own.
Can someone give some flowers to the pianist mann😮 bro was playing that thannggg 🎉
CHILLS! So happy she came back ... deserved to go far last season so hope she makes it this time!!!
😍That was an A-LIST diva moment. I really missed this style of singing! This really reminded me very first few seasons of American Idol back when it started.
Her rendition of this song gave me some chills and made me teary eyed. Sooooo well done, the tone, textures and configuration of notes. So gorgeous. I believe she will go so far I this competition 💫🤗
I’m hoping this is the next American Idol, what an incredible voice😊❤
Wow... possibly my favorite audition thus far. SO GOOD!
definitely the best audition this season!! 👏👏 rooting for you, Jayna!! ❤️
i literally choked up in the middle of class today listening to this with my students!!!
total respect. real deal. no auto tune. just talent. blessed.
This is it. I will be voting for Jayna
You can hear wisdom and perseverance when Jayna sings. She has been through tough times and that is why she is so emotionally connected when she sings. Great voice, great singer, beautiful human.
This is next level insane 🤯🤯🤯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jayna, you coming back makes me so happy!!!!!!! You getting cut last time was so upsetting. So glad to see you! Amazing!
That run at 0:44 is chef's kiss. You better work. Also great job to your accompanist. He was gettin down.
She is arguably d best voice i hv heard from d auditions. Hr voice hs character, strength n presence. So polished, n professional.
I loved the rearrangement of the song!
MY GUY ON THE PIANO THOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW. This may have to be one of my top 3 favorite auditions this season, along with Abi and Will Moseley. I love the tone of her voice and she has crazy range and vocal ability! Excited to see what she’ll perform next!
Omg I love this version! Beautiful voice, beautiful rendition❤
I'm such a fan of this amazing woman! Jayna I hope you're reading how many ppl are rooting for you! Never give up! I remember watching you when you were 15. You're voice is a gift. Never give up on yourself. You got this❤
She SANG the song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✨✨
She gave us the R&B Version of the climb n I loved it I have been fan since her Tyler Perry days
She’s so much better this year…And she was fantastic last year. The sweetest contestant from last year! Yes welcome back..the climb to the top 10!
Last year Jayna showed what a great person she is. I hope this year she gets to showcase her singing progress
What a gorgeous voice! Those runs! Just beautiful. ❤️
Wow chills the humbleness, humility, and passion she exudes. Very powerful performance.
She is amazing , great voice

I remember from the previous season. she was so sweet to other contestants. she sounded great then, but she sounds AMAZING today❤❤❤❤❤ I love her
Yes, she hoped Fire, right? I remember. She's ready this time lol. She picked the perfect song for her return and sang it beautifully. Loved this gorgeous young woman, her fantabulous voice and this performance. Great audition Jayna! Good luck!
*helped not hoped oops
Beautiful! Absolutely loved her soulfulness. The piano player was incredible too!
She is very good! I had to hear it over and over again..that's how I know it was great!
The way she sung that song was unbelievable. It sounded like an original. Job well done!❤❤❤
Just WOW. Best of the season! So amazing!!
OMGGGG she has been cutting up with singing since she was a kid 😭💙 I love this for her I know where my votes are going
She owned it. ❤ Purfect 🎉
She won. 👏👏🫶 LOVED IT!.
Love this twist on it. Excellent and great to see this lovely lady again.
She’s gave the best audition this season. Great job 👏🏽
Missed her. Glad she’s back. Who else wants her to sing rise up again from her AGT days?
Aww!! Memories!! Thank you so much for still supporting
From Kidz Bop to AGT to American Idol, Jayna has grown a TON! I knew she’d make it ever since her Kidz Bop days.
I love the fact that she came back. That voice she should flow to the finals
So far watching both American Idol & The Voice I think Jayna will be a star for sure! What a difference from last year. Truth this is not even my kind of music but I love her!
She was my favorite last year! Im So happy to see her again ⭐️
One of my favs this season!
The best audition by far.
I felt it all. Thank you
She is awesome. Her delivery, her realness and the control she has definitely makes her the presumptive winner. Loved it!!! 🏆
What a voice!! Excellent job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What was Katie talking about "finding her sound"? I've never heard anybody slice, dice and serve this Miley Cirus hit song up like this seasoned songstress just did!!! Amazing vocals!!!
I hear the Brandy influence all in her tone and runs. A lil Jordin Sparks in there too
One of my favs from last time. I still listen to “make it rain” till this day. Was shocked to see her back and better! Rooting for you Jayna
Thank you so much!!
Feels like i am in a concert this version is so lit and bomb wew top 3 material
Love the runs and vocals
She’s AMAZING COMING BACK TO PROVE THAT SHE IS JUST WHEW IM SPEECHLESS HER VERSION IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Jayna is one of the best singers I’ve heard, I’ve been following her journey for about 8 years and she’s grown so much
Go jayna !!!! Amazing rendition ❤❤❤
The clarity and pronunciation of her words along with the passion makes her the best singer in the comp in my opinion!
I absolutely love Jayna Elise after seeing her last season where she came up on stage to help Fire after all that drama happened. I became a fan of Jayna Elise I hope she makes it all the way to the finale 😊🙏🏽🖤
SHE IS SOOOO MUCH EXCELLENCE!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you!
Well that’s the way the song is supposed to sound, who knew!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
