ABOUT AMERICAN IDOL AMERICAN IDOL, the iconic series that revolutionized the television landscape by pioneering the music competition genre, returned to the airwaves in February 2021 for its forth season at its new home on ABC. The nationwide search for the next superstar kicked off in August 2019, as the virtual Idol Bus traveled from Portland, Oregon, to Orlando, Florida, in its pursuit for talent, covering many cities across the country. Auditioning was made easier than ever as hopefuls also had the opportunity to submit audition videos online, as well as via select social media platforms using an official tag, #TheNextIdol, cultivating over 300,000 posts. Also, for the first time in “American Idol” history, hopefuls had the opportunity to audition through a livestream platform. Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to become the next singing sensation, are music industry forces and superstar judges, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest will return as host of the beloved series. Talent Recap https://goo.gl/nZgzW8

@TalentRecap3 years ago Can a TikTok star win 'American Idol'? Read more on what Idol mentor, Bobby Bones, thinks about embracing social media stars on the show: ... 15
@

@joshuamiller73313 years ago I miss when american idol was like, random people coming in to audition and the crazy bad singers throwing tantrums and the homeless contestants with great voices. 🤣 bring that back! 433
@

@sarahanonymous37703 years ago The outfit was horible, now that I know she didn't chose it makes so much sense 96
@

@SameStory_NewEnding3 years ago American Idol should have known this kid would tell their secrets! 😭😭😭😭 175
@

@larkefedifero3 years ago Katy: "Are you Okay ? "
Claudia: "No - I'm Claudia ..." :-D ;-P 72
@

@chado30003 years ago What? Kelly Clarkson wasn't on tiktok before she won Idol? Girls, you do realize there was life before tiktok, or even smart phones, right? 17
@

@CC-xr6wj3 years ago Claudia wasn't a strong enough singer for idol. Shes on for rating but why shes a bore .Zzzzzzzzzz 59
@

@pullins68143 years ago She didn't really have to expose them. I was watching the show and was like why is Katy Perry going there? It was really shameful to me trying to take advantage of a family's issues like that. 44
@

@wilmasantos32553 years ago Its all about ratings. I can't believe they posted the whole video of Funke fainting and bashing her chin on the floor. The poor girl was then eliminated the following week. 23
@

@ariana58123 years ago The moment I saw them pushing her together with her mom I just knew something bad was going on 11
@

@Ythandle603 years ago Who asks if their parents hug them? WHAT 22
@

@olegsolomonik65943 years ago She sings as an average girl from the street, completely nothing special. They only let her through because she is popular on social media not her talent. There are many others who are times better than her. So sad that turn Ace down who did way better ... 26
@

@sarabny66953 years ago I find it extremely hard to believe anyone took their scarf off or went and bought her one and said "Here... turn this into a shirt" or picked out super dark lipstick and put it on her 🙄 Did they choose everyone else's outfits too? Of course, AI only put her on the show to exploit her but some of what she's saying just sounds like made up excuses to save face ... 9
@

@ADDAuntDawnDisorder3 years ago Her parents should not have been mentioned, highlighted or shown on AI. Publicity stunt? She should not have introduced herself as their child, but just as herself. Sheez. How ridiculous.👎👎 26
@

@memyselfandi32423 years ago Right up there with "She Bangs"!LOL... The old scripted background videos... LOL again! 3

@cecilier.47083 years ago I think you were spot on with your top 3!

@

@bl37883 years ago do you ladies know that this is how all reality shows operate. 54
@

@paulabarrows70233 years ago She really shouldn't have gone forward. She's got enough stress in her life. She needs to stop being "KellyAnn and George's daughter" and start being Claudia. She needs help not exploitation. 7
@

@michelesummers24373 years ago I liked her audition. She pulled it off under pressure, no bad notes. She will improve with coaching. I hope she does well. 31
@

@AvaZinn3 years ago I actually went to Pittsburgh and went undercover as an American Idol contestant back in 2011. I exposed something similar to Claudia Conway. 7
@

@jesuselcananistade44633 years ago Si viviera cerca yo de ese programa tuviera participando allá de todo lo que se trata Y por qué realidades de vuelo entretenimiento y de buena ayuda sé que Dios le va a bendecir grandemente con su trabajo sigue hacia delante lo que hagan háganlo para bien y para dejarlo marcado su nombre aquí en la tierra ... 1
@

@halliegoodman55193 years ago I don't know who made her choose her outfit because they could pick what they want to wear bc my cousin is on there and she didn't have these issues she prolly just mad 7
@

@natebaum71283 years ago This is funny cuz she seemed really excited on Twitter and she was tagging American idol in her posts about how excited she was 2
@

@oei3013 years ago I remember when music drew us all together... 5
@

@xxskabxx3 years ago She will leave the show. Disclosure agreements and contracts. They’re not going to air a contestant that publicly criticizes the show. She’s a child and doesn’t have the awareness or impulse control to not get on her little social media platforms and get more of those likes. Kind of how you’re literally reading shit from your phone of her social media. How tacky and cringe is that. Yes these reality talent shows recruit talent. Obviously it’s all about ratings. Publicity good or bad is ratings. Views. Which equals money. Obviously this child is going to bring drama with her. So if anyone is surprised that she was approached then you probably believe those ghost adventure tv shows also. 🤦‍♂️. ... 7
@

@awooosassysnowwolf84893 years ago It was a clean up the reputation for the Conway's and a sales pitch for American Idol. 2
@

@cindywiner27723 years ago Thumbs up!!! Sam You Are Beauty Full!!!!! BUT That eye shadow gotta GO!!!!
CLW 1
@

@HeatherShineify3 years ago I don’t think AI is grasping at straws. This is what they’ve always done. Create drama for the show. It’s always been a highly produced show. There have been many expose’ videos by former contestants in past years. 2
@

@CC-xr6wj3 years ago It'll be the contestant that is the most interesting and that is the down-home Cowboy.tick tok has run its Claudia moment and sits over 10
@

@davidmathews21243 years ago Hmmm. It’s a singing contest...right? If you sing well enough and make people like you enough then you get to keep doing that. If others in the contest do it better...they’re the ones that get to keep doing it. That’s what happened here. She was just an OK kid with seriously famous/infamous parents that wasn’t as good as the others in the contest. Nuff said. ... 3
@

@rexm44293 years ago She isn’t good enough. She wants to act rebellious toward her mother, but that is the train she is trying to ride to success. Whether you like Kellyanne or not, nobody would give Claudia a second look if she wasn’t using her mom for leverage. ... 14
@

@dee-deerichman91813 years ago I'm really confused - you have almost 8 million subscribers why you have such low numbers on views? 1
@

@ashleymcgaha57943 years ago I want Paint to be on he's an amazing singer known best for his Disney parodies 8
@

@maureengillespie3273 years ago Anyone think that Kellyanne also wanted to counteract all the bad publicity that Claudia has given her in particular? Remember she knows how to manipulate the media. That's the business she's in. Don't think she didn't want all that lovey-dovey talk between her and her daughter on camera after the world saw her cursing at Claudia, with whom she's been at war - publicly. I wouldn't be surprised if Kellyanne reached out to American Idol to begin with. ... 1
@

@claressa983 years ago I only watch it to see Emisunshine but I have fallen in love with some of the others. I'm a loyal Emi fan but if she doesn't make it I'm rooting for Hanna or Grace. 2
@

@Thecharmingteendad3 years ago She has such huge potential and I knew she was sick because she sounded so sick to me that i hope she ain't sick in Hollywood week so that we can hear her voice in it's true shine? 6
@

@teresakestran36373 years ago Love you two…you’re a great team! But, Mriganka’s hand gestures are very distracting to the message… 1
@

@sebastianvelasco54573 years ago I really liked Alex Miller’s personality, singing, and instrumentation, but Grace clearly stole my heart as soon as she sang. I immediately fell in love with her voice from the first note on. I don’t have a winner pick yet, but she’s looking like one for me. ... 4
@

@nameisprivate54292 months ago Is she going to say > so they gave me an audition because I’m famous…..they sent me to Hollywood because I was famous….but I didn’t have the actual talent to carry myself because even famous people can’t make fetch happen. ...
@

@LelynnsSquirrels3 years ago the funny thing is, we all stopped watching American Idol BECAUSE it was getting too political.. (i highly doubt that including "ACTUAL politicians" is the way to fix that 🙄) it would seem that the show aint about the voices, OR the contestants.. 😒 .. i'm starting to believe, that it never was... 😳 ... 1
@

@Jeanne902753 years ago Frankly, I think Claudia Conway would be nothing more than a blip on the radar were it not for her parents. She's a marginally talented, somewhat attractive young woman who's embarrassed by having well-known conservative parents. Perhaps she should emancipate herself now that she's 16 and go on to make her own way in life. She might learn something about her value in the scope of things, especially since Trump is no longer in office and calling him a racist, homophobic, fascist, neo-nazi white supremacist (with nothing to back it up) doesn't resonate like it once did. ...
@

@lisakeeney99793 years ago These 2 hosting this show need replaced. Jeez... 20
@

@donnalynn39333 years ago This was wrong in so many ways! Nothing is natural anymore! Also, I believe the fix is already in for the one they want to win in the end! The Voice is the same way now, the judges have too much hand in choosing who is the top finals! ... 1
@

@scable-eq7bp3 years ago Lets face it, American Idol is a reality show, it's based on popularity and who has the best SOB story and not based on talent. I feel bad for Claudia, she's got caught in a vicious web of politics, having a mom that is a high profile Republican and a POS father that is a Democrat and the show used that to their advantage and if you notice the only judge that wanted to use this against Claudia was Katy Perry, so now we know Perry's true colors, I've lost all respect for her, besides she's just in it for the big paycheck she gets, she could give two shits about any of these artist ... 1
@

@lifedouble24612 years ago Conway - If you want the limelight, you need to take the lime and lemon that comes with it. What if reactions were positive? Would Conway appear to request not to broadcast the audition? Sour ‘grapes’.
@

@phoenixpierce34843 years ago I don’t think it has anything to do with need more viewership. I mean, American Idol needs Claudia parents for viewership? That’s a joke.
It’s television. They want drama. The same reason person after person has sad stories and “small town” stories and so on. Of course they wanted those things spoken about, it brings more drama to the show and it makes it interesting for the contestants have stories. ...
@

@markant95342 years ago she talks like Julliette Lewis in the movie cape fear.
@

@conchitafukunaga26073 years ago Maybe because how the judges appreciate all contestants
@

@accidrainn3 years ago Katy's Dad is cool, she still looks beautiful BTW! ..Come on guys the show is 20 years old almost right? If you don't know that they always have done this .. Then your heads are under the sand .. They have almost always done this to people .. Look into it! The sappy stories and health problems & deaths ,or worse .. It's always been a bit scummy ... What happened to Heather Also? She dissapaeared !! But, they also use Auto tune 😮😱*SHOCK*😂 Grace will win👍🏻*P. S . I really liked the video thanks ❤️ ... 1
@

@nonam7413 years ago Is that why they let some one over the size of 12 on the stage??? I hate this "show" I mean is it 1 though???? 1
@

@SP-do5sm2 years ago Claudia Conway very talented. Really good volcalist.
@

@CEK513 years ago Personally I no longer watch American Idol. I did see her audition and did not like the way they treated her. She is a bright young lady and I enjoyed her singing. Keep smiling Claudia! 4
@

@shannonbradleyfisher34053 years ago I remain on Claudia's side as far as the abuse, however....sour grapes and stop with the blame game. I wouldn't spend $ for her CD. 1
@

@tgosselin25283 years ago Did she really just call Grace an "underdog"?!?🤦‍♂️
To be honest, she's basically just another/a new 'Kelly Clarkson'.
@

@christinan64503 years ago I think what happened to Claudia was shameful! I view AI for the talent, not for the background story. Yes the story can help you understand their interpretation of a song, & how hard they have worked to get where they are today ; but for me it ends there.!! AI should have the courtesy to focus on the talent & the star quality & nothing else. ...
@

@quadflopper10123 years ago this season, where have you been, they've been doing this shady stuff on idol and all the got talents for years, it used to be the backroom shady deals were part of any shows simon cowell was involved with but by know i'm sure all the voice franchises are doing the same crap..... ... 1
@

@kgesch68333 years ago OK well first off, these are all just rumors. Jeez. She didn't pick the outfit or what to sing. that was probably her mom :/ Stop saying crap about the judges.
@

@sevenbatch44463 years ago When comment content have a execution power and becomes a god.. 1
@

@chelseaevans3373 years ago I kind of doubted the Indian girl at girls ?! I dunno why … she’s amazing. She made the point (in one sentence) that the white girl struggled to make in 52 sentences. and YouTube pays for completed videos.
Let the Indian girl do then entire video. Double you’re money. Or don’t double it and crewrite a brand strategy that allows mediocre media content all across the bored. ... 1
@

@atomant19803 years ago we have turned these shows into what they are today. WE as the VIEWERS are the Reason they are doing what they are doing. If you have a show like AMERICAN IDOL that ENDED due to us Viewers not watching, Because we have turned to more DRAMA filled Reality T.V. Producers JOB is to bring in the viewers and ALL TALENT SHOWS now have Drama. We the viewers LOVE kicking people and shows down, Then we LOVE when they pick themselves up. The underdog. Viewers always have. More DRAMA and NOISE the more viewers, The more YOUTUBE channels, videos and people talking about it. IT really is funny to see ... 1
@

@BelleEFlopp-nk5xe3 years ago ALL television is manipulated to make you feel and think the way they want you to. I did not enjoy her audition regardless of her parents work and political views. Her voice wasn’t fantastic but will improve if she stays on this path. But I can imagine she wasn’t her best because she wasn’t feeling her best. They tugged at her emotions and made her look like a trailer trash karaoke fan girl. I haven’t seen one picture of her that looks like the same girl in that audition. FYI supporting Trump doesn’t mean they are bad parents that abuse their kids or don’t love them and it’s disgusting we have to treat people that way even on American Effing Idol. ... 4
@

@YHVHTeaches7773 years ago Honestly I feel like she's just a liar. She's not really great, not bad but not great and as a tiktoker she's probably embarrassed she didn't make it and decided to lie about everything.
@

@rosettaadams53863 years ago I don't think they pressured her at all she told the Family business, when she said her Family were big political people. 4
@

@tjtampa2143 years ago That is how they roll (Hollywood and politics).
@

@dlusk5373 years ago Well American Idol hasn’t produced a lot successful singers 😟 sad those that did were voted off 😳. 3
@

@robertcarter8600last year What is wrong with hosting girls' noses?
Are they on anabolics to stay lean like bodybuilders, or is it a new nose job fashion "the longer the better"?
@

@iara39263 years ago Where's Banson Boone? He just disappeared 🤷🏻
@

@johnesmith23653 years ago I thought this was about idols, enough alteady! 1
@

@redbird6753 years ago She needs to get a day job and quit acting like a real spoiled brat, giving her Mother such a hard time. 1
@

@msyvettejackson62563 years ago You should show the performances instead of just talking about them.
@

@princessbubble94643 years ago First of all she sounds like a million other girls and she doesn't sound like anything I have not heard before 1
@

@jackthrone55553 years ago Mysteriously she won’t get far on the show then lol 2
@

@carmenalondra43443 years ago Claudia no debio pasar la próxima ronda. NO esta preparada, el único honesto fue Luke. Esta temporada esta algarete!!! 1
@

@KanaTron11 months ago I stopped watching these shows because of all the 'Sob' stories. This is supposed to be about talent, not who has the saddest story. They should've waited a couple of years, they would've gotten an even more sad story from her. ...
@

@doglady93343 years ago Claudia isn't nearly as talented as many others who have auditioned. Shes good, she's not exceptional. 1
@

@freshfacedb19813 years ago Conway could have refused. Why did her mother and father play into it?
@

@conniehahn45773 years ago Not what I remember....
She told who they were....of her own accord...
Shes not very good....
@

@lunawolf80293 years ago So abusive to do to this already abused CHILD. They are disgusting. Poor girl
@

@tinaallen35583 years ago I mean it has Nothn to do with A Tic TOC, Or Instagram? If you're a Natural born Singer? You think you got what it Takes? Go....Win it!!
@

@karenhardie11323 years ago Listen to some of the best singers this season. She only got to that point because of her parents. Her voice isn't that good. 1
@

@makailaaa62003 years ago First of all, she can’t sing to me. They shouldn’t have sent her through. It was wayyy better people who didnt make it to me. And also, none of the tiktok singers were good to me. Except the girl with the big ears. Loved her! ...
@

@XMetalMatter3 years ago I really think AI is doing damage control for the Conway's. 2
@

@unkownfear33 years ago Why does the chick on the left talk like she used to be deaf 3
@

@tgosselin25283 years ago If you want a prime example of the hypocrisy and double standards that exist in our country and pretty much the world, just watch thru to the end where they talk about the guy that auditioned wearing the speedo. Basically, if you were a man and the guy wearing the speedo was actually a woman in a bikini instead, you would've been attacked and labeled a sexist, toxic, entitled, misogynistic pig etc right and you most likely would've been canceled...all as a result of the various comments you made. To be clear, I'm not upset about the comments and think the woke SJW crowd will be the demise of us all. Our problems were created by the political (far)Left despite the fact that they are, by far, the biggest culprits of the bad behavior. ...
@

@laurasmith8563 years ago Not to be a hater but she should have known better. Her family is controversial and of course they are gonna monopolize on that.
@

@TheTinnman3 years ago Of course she was not good. We are taking her word that any of the things she said are true. If she got bad reviews on her tik tok feed are we sure she is not deflecting by lying? And the stir she has created gains her views. ...
