Let me preface my post with the fact that I haven't tuned in to a single episode of American Idol since Season 7 when David Cook won, but I will watch highlights of the farewell season!
I just caught up on YouTube real quick and they weren't kidding when they said that the pool for male contestants this year is super weak. I don't even see any of them making it into the Top 5. I personally liked Kory or even maybe Manny the most, but I think that Mackenzie or James will progress the furthest. Everyone else was forgettable. Dalton is awful.
As for the ladies, they have quite a unique pool this year. I think Stephany is already a ready-made package (could work for or against her since audiences love transformations). Tristan seems like another Jordin Sparks situation. Depends on her development. This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think La'Porsha will do much. While talented, she the run-of-the-mill 'park-and-bark' that's popular on these shows. Does anyone else think that Gianna is a carbon-copy of Alessia Cara?!
My favorite so far is Sonika. Her tone is incredible. She almost sounds like an Ariana Grande that enunciates. Plus, it'd be great for the industry to finally have an Indian representative.
I picked Fifth Harmony and Samantha Jade to win through their seasons of X-Factor, so here's hoping I'm somewhat right!
How is Gianna like Alessia Cara? If anything Avalon is most similar to Alessia, they have a similar style.
LaPorsha is so overrated. She's the diva type of singer that is very unmarketable, and she's one of the worst divas idol has ever had. Her runs are good but her range is limited.

WTF? Bye. She needs to do more current songs, but her range is massive.
Shame about Emily, I didn't think it was possible for her to sound bad with that beautiful tone
Thomas was absolutely 'tremendous' as Harry said I can't stop watching his performance back. That tone is flawless. MacKenzie and Sonika were great too. Next week is gonna be pretty boring for me because all my faves were on last night.

Lol, I gotta disagree Thomas' squeaks ARE SO ANNOYING. He has some pitch problems!
Avalon i love her style so freaking much. There's no other girl like her in the competittion or even the industry. But she's too chill and her vocal is just... average. She needs to keep pushing for a big performance, otherwise she will get lost in the shufffle
