    I dont caee what anyone has said about the finale The most talented singer/Song writer/Musician won I have been a musician for 30 plus years and finally we have a winner who wasnt the teenie bopper winner the cute guy thats left or the beautiful blonde singer no the top 3 were great and all deserving but finally the most original and most talented person won and btw that was the best ending to a finale ever great job on the show the judges ect.... Excellant job all around for all of the teen girls who think C.L.H should have won your not old enough to understand that this is not a beauty contest its all about the complete package and the person who won was the right choice thumbs up

    Gabby is the winner and star quality!

  • Sharon Langlois - 6 years ago

    As I sit here and watch the two remaining finalist, I couldn’t be more happy!! These two are the real deal! They are so true at heart and I will be happy for either one of them to win!! Congratulations Maddie and Caleb!!

  • Sharon Langlois - 6 years ago

    I do not care for Gabby simply because she does nothing but scream off key!! I did a little research on her and many said she was rude to a lot of her followers. I want someone that is beautiful inside as well as outside!!!!

  • Barb Coomer - 6 years ago

    Gabby is the real deal and will win! She is a true entertainer and will not be a forgotten American Idol. The other two are good but not exceptional. What’s wrong with being like Carrie Underwood? Nothing! Haha I think Carrie went far in this business. Gabby has an enormous following and comes from a big city and that should see her through. She is the epitome of being a true and genuine American Idol. Go Gabby!!

  • Bruce Zittritsch - 6 years ago

    Everybody vote for Maddie people in Iowa and all over

  • Tom Jackson - 6 years ago

    Gabby has a powerful voice with great tone which is in the same league as Carrie Underwood. If you are saying Gabby sucks, then you must not like Carrie Underwood either eventhough she is one of the most popular country singers out there. The other contested can’t sing the same songs Gabby can. Could Caleb or Matty hang and sing that Whitney Houston song, ya right, no way. They stick to the same slow songs which require a minimal, and safe vocal range. Gabby has the voice to come out with multiple Carrie Underwood type hits, and can sell more music. The other contestants would be one hit slow song wonders, and will not have the potential career longevity Gabby has.

    Either Caleb or Gabby. Caleb is a wonderful country singer. Gabby’s final song last night by Journey impressed Steve Perry of band Journey. Maddie very boring and she doesn't dress like a star. No stage presence. Didn’t like Katy Perry’s comment that she was going to vote for Maddie. She’s trying to influence voters.

  • Wayne Andre - 6 years ago

    Idol has a habit of voting artist over singer. My vote is Maddie.

  • Roger B - 6 years ago

    Definitely Maddie! Love Caleb’s voice but he still needs to work on his entertainment aspect. Gabby appears to be conceded (with reason ) but not humble at all. She simple copies other performers we already have. And Katy Perry called it when she said she was voting for Maddie!

  • Charlotte - 6 years ago

    Gabby is a down to Earth girl . She didn't come from a privileged family and is a God given born natural singer. I think she will represent American Idol 100 percent!! Caleb is my next choice

  • J bower - 6 years ago

    Maddie Poppe will win tonight, she’s the most unique and that’s what makes a star, not to mention she can play many instruments and writes her own songs! Gabby is a karaoke artist! Amazing voice, but unfortunately she sounds like everyone else on the radio, Caleb is amazing but again doesn’t write his own songs, when you are forced to do other people’s songs they have written for you, you become a robot to the industry! Congratulations To Maddie Poppe, this win is well deserved!!

  • David White - 6 years ago

    Maddie will win - if not , Caleb.
    Gabby , not a chance-
    Doesn’t deserve to be in top 3. On Sunday, she was terrible and the judges said so.

  • Frank Davids - 6 years ago

    Agreed , Gabby - no clue how she got this far - ditto, she Sucks.

  • Adam Rich - 6 years ago

    Not sure how Gabby got this far , she sucks.
    Michael was wayyyyyyyyy more deserving.

  • Fannie Bowling - 6 years ago

    Caleb is going to be a Randy Travis them deep notes love him

  • SKIP - 6 years ago

    what are you people brain dead Gabby is far better then Maddie

  • Shelia - 6 years ago

    Gabby is beautiful and she has this all the way the voice and the moves

  • Judy - 6 years ago

    I predict Maddie is going to win. She’s the real deal. She tells a story when she sings. They are all good but I’m liking this kid a lot.

  • Tina - 6 years ago

    OK Gabby is beautiful, But, I feel she is forcing that country Twang just a little too much , Maddie , always .always Awesome

  • Joseph - 6 years ago

    I have not seen all the episodes, maybe 50% of them. Singing like acting is very subjective. I am also a singer! I can tell you I like all 3. However Gabby takes risks and sometimes sounds amazing. However I noticed that when she sings the lesser notes she becomes off key. Maddy and Caleb tend to stay in their comfort zone...which is nice and they can record enjoyable albums but don't kid yourself, millions of people could record enjoyable albums.... So flip a coin! No stand out! The stand out was probably eliminated because America is not ready for a transgender winner or the producers are not ready...can't be sure... That is a shame!

  • Rhonda - 6 years ago

    Okay...so I’m Maddie all the way. Maddie can actually sing. And even though she “just stands there and sings”, some people like that. And she knows how to control her vocals, unlike Gabby. Gabby isn’t awful, but loud does not equal good. I just don’t think Gabby is ready. That’s just my opinion. Team Maddie for the win!

  • Crystal - 6 years ago

    To be honest I can't stand Gabby. If you paid attention to her three songs last night she was practically screaming and yelling. Last night to me was awful on her part. Made me want to mute the tv she was so loud and not much sound. She sang good singing last week Whitney Houston but to me she's not that good. Maddie and Caleb sing nice and soft mostly and don't scream when they sing. They know how to use their vocals better in my opinion. And Gabbys river song last night sounded so off. I voted for Caleb. And I hope Maddie gets second. They will make it. Every time I hear Caleb's voice it makes me feel good.

  • Jennifer Bremerman - 6 years ago

    MADDIE POPPE....MADDIE POPPE.....MADDIE POPPE....YOU ARE SO DANG TALENTED AND UNIQUE. WE NEED YOU IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY....NEED NEED NEED!!!

  • KAL - 6 years ago

    Maddie. She is different and interesting.

  • GrasshopperSalsa - 6 years ago

    Gabby! She is by far the MOST talented! Everyone wants to be hating on her because she's a blonde haired beauty!? Jealous fools! Gabby got this!

  • lisa l - 6 years ago

    Gabby is the ONLY one who has stage presence and a voice to back it up. Maddie and Caleb have average voices ..they can sing on a cruise ship..Gabby has star potential...she deserves to win...no question!!!!!!!

  • Kristy - 6 years ago

    All of them dang good. I'm a Georgia girl so Caleb winning would be great to have someone from Georgia win American idol. And he is a great country singer. I love his voice. Gabby also is great. She has the voice and can do a few different genres. Maddie did just like her and dang good. She has a voice of her own whoever wins this year I hope to see more from the other two no matter what.

  • jonie - 6 years ago

    Caleb or maddy..

  • Adriana - 6 years ago

    To the preteens out there. You will learn someday that the cute talentless boys you vote for would never even give you a second look.

  • Jasmine - 6 years ago

    Little hormonal school girls will vote for Caleb like they always do. They don’t have a clue what is good or bad vocals. That is why American Idol had to go off the air for awhile.
    People who work like myself are not going to be spending hours on social media to vote 30 times. I liked Maddie until she made the comment that she is not prepared to do free concerts in the beginning to promote herself. Everybody has to put their time in. I am leaning toward Gabby. She has the spark, personality and vocals to make it in this business

  • Michelle - 6 years ago

    Caleb IS the next American Idol! Period. That’s all she wrote.

    Too short of a season. Over with too soon and never got to know the contestants sending them home two at a time. Please change the show back to how it used to be.

  • Jane Thorn - 6 years ago

    Maddie is from my hometown and what you see is totally genuine. She is multi talented and doesn't need to flaunt herself or put on a Vegas act. She is the real deal and a great role model. Go Maddie!!!

  • Taylor - 6 years ago

    Caleb must win. Maddie if he doesn’t.
    Please do us a favor and send flannel mouth Gabby back to her home town. She thinks loud equals good.
    Also dresses like a common streetwalker. Her bleached hair makes her look cheap and trashy.

  • SK Taylor - 6 years ago

    Caleb deserves to be the next American Idol and Maddie should win if he doesn’t. I can’t stand Gabbie pretending to have a southern accent.
    She is nothing but a big mouth loud phony and I’ll be happy to see her go back to wherever she came from. It’s sickenimg to see her cavort around on stage dressed like a hooker.

  • Zeta - 6 years ago

    Gabby, hands dr own. Caleb terrific. But that mattie...absolutely not. If I heard that whining on the radio, goodbye that station!

  • Betty Doucet - 6 years ago

    SINCE CADE DIDN'T MAKE IT (I'M A ROCK FAN) I'M VOTING ON VOCALS AND GABBY WINS BY A LANDSLIDE IN MY OPINION!!! HER VOICE IS INCREDIBLE SHE TRULY DESERVES IT!

  • Chris - 6 years ago

    Caleb seemed flustered tonight and Gabby seemed like she didn't realize that the finals were happening. Maddie, stayed true to herself and she stands out week after week. Vote Maddie!

  • Jackie - 6 years ago

    Caleb is a true humble soul. He is incredibly talented and I think he willdo great things with his career. He doesn't seem to be all about himself. Marie is really good also but if I can only choose one, it's caleb for me.

  • Jackie Kemper - 6 years ago

    Maddie is genuine

  • Adonia - 6 years ago

    Caleb

  • Adonia - 6 years ago

    Caleb he's the best singer!!!!!!

  • Connie - 6 years ago

    When Cade and Katie were put off, that was it for me.What is with people voting like that.I wanted Cade to win.????

  • Anonymous - 6 years ago

    Maddie is a true artist, the full package. Calebs voice is without a doubt is iconic. Gabby is trendy and will get that vote from the younger crowd. The truth of the matter is all 3 are talented and have a great career ahead of them. Maddie and Caleb tie PLEASE! Gabby will do fine with her bleached hair and smoke and mirrors. I voted 5 votes for Maddie and 5 votes for Caleb...they are the real things!

  • Joanne S. - 6 years ago

    Maddie or Caleb deserve to win! I live near Pittsburgh & I'm rootin for 1 of them. They're all good, but, don't care for Gabby. My mom doesn't either. She said that she seems like she's too highfaluting.

  • Connie Simd - 6 years ago

    All 3 of them deserves this I think I’ll vote for all 3 this way I won’t feel guilty. I’m leaning towards Gabby

  • LJ - 6 years ago

    Not getting what all the hoopla is about Maddie. She is not an entertainer. Makes me want to fall asleep. Gabby is an entertainer. She is energetic, fun and has a beautiful voice. Vote for Gabby

  • Candace - 6 years ago

    Caleb! He not only lived within a couple miles of me but his voice is the best! Maddie comes in 2nd. Gabby is a train wreck!

  • Maryschneider - 6 years ago

    Gabby

  • Mary jane - 6 years ago

    All great, but my vote goes to Gabby!!

  • Ruth - 6 years ago

    Caleb has that voice I just melt

  • Suze Huze - 6 years ago

    Gabby is crazy good. Maddie is too “sleepy “ for our taste.

  • Sassy Held - 6 years ago

    Gabby has my vote! No matter who wins. I think all 3 will get a contract so...
    We all know you dont have to "win" idol to make it.

  • Cindy - 6 years ago

    Maddie all the way she has such an unique voice. Caleb is great too. . But when Maddie sings it touches my soul and gives me goose bumps.

  • teresa simmons - 6 years ago

    Sorry Maddie and Caleb are the real professionals... Much success to them both.

  • Irene Strong - 6 years ago

    Maddie is a rare gem with her beautiful lyrical voice. I look forward to buying her music for years!

  • Kathy Polefko - 6 years ago

    MADDIE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE. I WOULD BUY HER CD BEFORE GABBY. MADDIE DESERVES TO WIN. AND IM FROM MUNHALL PA. BUT I LOVE MADDE POPPE! Go maddie!!

  • Nora - 6 years ago

    Caleb must win.The Voice and tone of his music is so beautiful.couple times brought me to tears. I enjoy Maddy too.still Caleb has my vote

  • Kim hart - 6 years ago

    Caleb has a great voice especially when he sang Johnny cash tonight. He deserves to win this. Go caleb

  • Thomas Montenegro - 6 years ago

    Gabby is by far thee worse contestant to be on this show. How she got this far, I have no idea. Caleb is good. But he is ridiculously average. Maddie Poppe deserves this win so much. She Is a very talented songwriter. That should be a damn prerequisite

  • Brittany - 6 years ago

    Caleb all the way he is what country started out to be not some pop country he is the next George Jones conway or randy travis

  • Mike - 6 years ago

    I want either Caleb or Maddie. Gabby is ok but she’s so plastic with the bleached out hair and a really twang too much voice. Caleb has ghorgeez blue eyes and Maddie is more current than gabby.

  • Louisa - 6 years ago

    Gabby is a karoake queen. She's a piser, Carrie Underwood wannabe. She needs to GOOOOO!

  • Debra j king - 6 years ago

    Caleb Lee Hutchinson

  • Gigi - 6 years ago

    The ladies are good, am actually surprised Maddie is doing so well, is talented but not so strong.. Have just used up all my votes on Caleb, however: he is terrific: has real staying power, to be the next Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, or Blake Shelton. Plus, he is a respectful, sweet, and “normal” young man, which we need more of, as examples, today!

  • Janey beavers - 6 years ago

    Caleb voice is a hit ......sounds like an angel.

  • Sandra - 6 years ago

    I like Caleb’s voice the best & his sense of humor! I want him to win !!

  • Barb Uniatowski - 6 years ago

    I think Gabby should be the Idol winner she sings like one.Maddie OK but she is boring and CAleb would put me to sleep.

  • Barb Uniatowski - 6 years ago

    I think Gabby should be the Idol winner

  • Jade - 6 years ago

    Caleb needs to win☝????☝????☝????❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  • Angel lumos - 6 years ago

    I think all of them are great and it doesn't matter who wins I think they all deserve to win

  • Lorria M Bentley - 6 years ago

    I think calab is a good singer he can take it all the way

  • Ethan - 6 years ago

    Caleb is the only one with real the others can’t even sing that well

  • Lisa - 6 years ago

    Gabby is more of a Karaoke winner than an American Idol winner. And her attitudes not so good. Caleb is very talented but no Scotty McCreery by a long shot. Maddy is most talented of the three with her uniqueness. The winner though definitely should have been Cabe!!!!

  • Charlotte Veno - 6 years ago

    Gabby is a natural singer , entertainer and down to earth girl. Her personality shows when she is so thankful for the opportunity to show her talent. She is not a Carrie Underwood! She is better!

  • Charlotte Veno - 6 years ago

  • Dee Dee - 6 years ago

    Miss Maddie to the end!!!

  • Diana P. - 6 years ago

    Maddie definitely deserves the win! She is so talented! Loved her "Bare Necessities"????????

  • JULIE ANAST - 6 years ago

    I really love to Cade! So sexy! I think Gabby should win. I love her story and she is the total package. Caleb is good too and so is Maddie, but Maddie just stands there and does nothing but sing. She does have a good voice though. I think it's Gabby all the way.

  • Esther Contreras - 6 years ago

    Maddie deserves to take the crown and be the next American Idol. Her Clive is lovely, just amazing! She is definitely what America is looking for. Maddie Poppe!!!

  • rachel - 6 years ago

    Gabby is the total package..Maddie is good but a bit boring, i could not stay awake during her concert, same for Caleb

  • Teri - 6 years ago

    Maddie is a musical genius and has been playing live for the past 6 or 7 years. She can expertly play a number of musical instruments and is an incredible vocalist. She released an album, pre- American Idol, called, Songs From the Basement that she wrote, produced, and recorded. It's great, of course. It's hers to win.

  • Robbie - 6 years ago

    Idk what vortex is... It was supposed to say favorite.

  • Robbie - 6 years ago

    Gabby is good but there's thousands of undiscovered girls out there who can sing as well. Maddie is the true artist. She's a one woman band. She deserves the win. Although my vortex is still Michael.

  • Sandra Ryan - 6 years ago

    Black Gabby sings Like An Angel like Whitney Houston

  • Rhonda Decker - 6 years ago

    Love all three, but Maddie and Gabby have been my favorites through the whole season and I say Maddie is the winner than Gabby. They both are have wonderful talent, Caleb has the talent also and they should all three have a career in music.

  • Ribin - 6 years ago

    Maddie is very humble

  • Debra - 6 years ago

    I vote Gabby she has an amazing voice and she can hit the Whitney Houston notes thats not an easy feat Go Gabby!

  • Kathy L Lund - 6 years ago

    Maddie is the most complete artist. She can sing any genre and play so many instruments. Amazing talent. All 3 are good, but Maddie is the winner.

  • Pamela Lester - 6 years ago

    Gabby is the one. Her talent is awesome.

  • Clay - 6 years ago

    My vote is for the very talented Maddie!

  • Dave - 6 years ago

    Maddie she's herself great gal hope she wins

  • Patricia - 6 years ago

    Maddie, she is a breath of fresh air, not a copy of Carrie Underwood
