American Idol Season 19 is really narrowing their filter as the competition progresses. Monday’s new episode showed the audience how judges struggled to make their choices for the Top 24. The judges, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan had to do the inevitable task of elimination.
Starting with the Showstopper round with 64 different participants, the judges had to cut our 40 deeply willing participants after providing a stunning performance. It was not easy for them, nor the audience to keep up with the anticipation. However, some of the fans are very disheartened with the judges’ choices. According to some of the followers, some choices were a bit partial. However, it was really ‘no-brainers’ to choose some of the shining singers like Willie Spence who made a rendition of Beyoncé’s famous track ‘I Was Here’. Another heart-throbbing performance by Colin Jamieson on the rock cover of Fall Out Boy’s ‘Sugar, We’re Goin Down’, surely garnered a lot of attention from the audience and Katy Perry too. The fans are saying that independent singers like Murphy who performed on the original tune deserved a chance to progress in the platform.
But since the choices are already made, there would be no change in the finalized selections.
