American Idol 2023 Polls: WHO will WIN American Idol? Who SHOULD Win? Who was Robbed? VOTE NOW
American Idol 2023 is coming to a close. America chose their finalists and they are Iam Tongi, Colin Stough and Megan Danielle. No big surprises there. After last week, it became clear who would wind up in the finale.
At this stage of the game, what happens on the Idol stage doesn’t move the needle much. Fans have chosen their favorites, and they vote thusly. For instance, Wé Ani had a better night of performances than Megan Danielle. But the latter had already become a fan favorite over the past few weeks. She was destined to advance.
Once again, the finalists are a country singer-centric. But a country singer will not win season 21. The gentle, folksy storyteller, Iam Tongi has captured America’s heart and is destined for the crown.
American Idol season 22 auditions are now open
Ryan Seacrest made a couple of important announcements on the show. First, he announced that virtual auditions for next season are open. In other words, American Idol is returning for season 22. A renewal is a no brainer as the show is the highest rated talent show on television right now and regularly ranks in the week’s top 5 highest rated non-sports show. Disney’s upfront presentation for advertisers is scheduled for Tuesday. An official announcement is coming soon.
