The ‘American Idol’ season 22 finale will air Sunday, May 19, and feature a showdown between Abi Carter, Will Mosely and Jack Blocker
The curtain is about to fall on season 22 of American Idol, but not before the show crowns a winner. Will it be Abi Carter, Will Moseley or Jack Blocker?
Before that all can be done, Perry will join Bryan and Richie and all the American Idol voters to crown a winner.Carter hails from California’s Coachella Valley. Her website’s bio states that she is the second of seven kids and grew up in a musical household. Carter got her start singing in church, talent shows and local competitions. Her bio also refers to her as “near virtuosic” when it comes to playing the piano.
For the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” week, Carter channeled Elton John for a performance of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” In the “Billboard #1 Hits” round, Carter gave love to Swift by performing the original-length version of “All Too Well.” The performance helped her make it to the Top 10, in which she performed Coldplay’s 2003 hit “Clocks.” The performance kept her chances of Idol glory alive, as she made it to the next round .
Moseley leaned into his country roots while competing in the Top 20, performing Drake White’s “Makin’ Me Look Good Again,” and a reprise of his “Gone for Good.” When it came to Dance Songs / Adele Songs week, Moseley got into it with “Rolling in the Deep” and a version of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Gimme Three Steps.” He revisited Stapleton for the Top 5, performing his “Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy” and Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild” for the Disney week.
During the competition, Blocker showed a range of musical influences along with his vintage style. His Showstopper round choice was Nathaniel Rateliff’s Americana track “You Should’ve Seen the Other Guy.” In the Top 24, he performed Kacey Musgraves’ “Rainbow.”
