American Idol Recap Season 20, Episode 18: Carrie Underwood ... (TooFab)

FINNEAS offered the contestants a break with a great performance of his new single as the Top 5 hit the stage twice and made a very hard choice for America ...

For us, it was more likely going to be between Nicolina and Fritz for that second person to fall just shy of the finale. Leah has that ability to make us cry on the right song, so this could be a night of many boxes of tissues. Noah’s redemption round -- and down-home story -- was enough for him to make it two-for-two with the country singers. This was the redemption he needed in this second round to remind us of why he’s still here. This was such a palpable performance, powerful and so broken and beautiful, this was pure artistry from start to finish. She remains the most interesting person in the competition, and we fully appreciated the artistry and even dramatic performance elements she added to this piece. But he really grabbed our attention when he got to the first chorus and started pushing his voice a bit. The tenderness of his voice is his sweet spot, but he was inconsistent in giving it to us this week. He’s got a great, confident vocal style that was perfectly suited for the frustration of the track, and his performance wasn’t over the top, but suited the piece -- and the camera effect -- perfectly. (“I’ll Stand by You,” The Pretenders [as performed by Carrie Underwood] - 20, Normal, IL) Leah tried to play with the pacing so much in the early lines she actually fell off the rhythm a couple of times. (“So Small,” Carrie Underwood - 20, Louisa, KY) Noah had a genuine and sweet sound in the opening bars, and he broke out big in the middle with an earnestness that was endearing. She appears to be the only “Idol” alum to do so, which is odd as this is the 20th season.

'American Idol' 2022 3-hour finale will feature an all-star roster of performers, including Carrie Underwood, Tai Verdes, Thomas Rhett & more.

HunterGirl — who has been tipped as the potential next Underwood — extended her hot streak on the show with her version of the country star’s “Undo It” and Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” while Thompson made it into the semi-final with Underwood’s “So Small” and a stripped-down version of Larry Fleet’s “Working Man.” The episode also featured FINNEAS performing his single “ Naked.” Sunday night’s semi-final included performances from two singers who had to scramble to participate last week — Fritz Hager and Thompson — after both tested positive for COVID-19. Thompson made the cut, while Hager and Nicola Bozzo were eliminated. Marlene was blown away after making it to next week’s finale following her performances of Underwood’s “I’ll Stand By You” and Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” dropping to the floor and covering her face in shock when the finalist lineup was revealed by host Ryan Seacrest.
