‘American Idol’: Abi Carter back on top with ‘Bring Me to Life,’ but who will be eliminated Sunday, May 5? [POLL RESULTS]
The Top 7 were revealed in a live two-hour broadcast of “American Idol” Monday night. Host Ryan Seacrest called the Top 8 to the stage to perform in the “Judge’s Song Contest Night,” where Kaibrienne was eliminated. In a poll conducted just after the episode, we asked, “Which contestant gave the best performance of the night?” Platinum Ticket winner Abi Carter came out on top with her rendition of “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence. Watch her full performance above.
Judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie were gobsmacked by the performance, but Luke was especially happy since he chose the song. “I’ve created a monster!” he exclaimed before Katy added, “”You just kicked down all four walls of the box I thought you were in.”
After thousands of votes were recorded, Abi ended up with 33% of the tally, followed by Jack Blocker (“Always on My Mind”) with 21%, Emmy Russell (“Coal Miner’s Daughter”) with 15% and Will Moseley (“Folsom Prison Blues”) with 11%. Tumbling down the ranks were Julia Gagnon (“Over the Rainbow”) at 10% and Triston Harper (“Sand in My Boots”) at 6%. That leaves McKenna Faith Breinholt vulnerable on Sunday. Not only did she come in last place in our poll after singing “Everywhere I Go,” but she landed in the bottom two with Kaibrienne on Monday, only to be saved by Katy.
