'American Idol' 2016 Premiere Recap: 14 Hopefuls Revealed, Jeneve Rose Mitchell The Best Performer Of The Night?
With "American Idol" starting off, fans had a glimpse on the 14 hopefuls who are heading to Hollywood following the show's one-hour premiere and the four hopefuls below may be seen in the finals, with Jeneve Rose Mitchell as the most promising.
Jeneve Rose Mitchell could be part of the final four hopefuls of the current "American Idol" season. Singing "Chainsaw," the Oregon farm girl managed to unleash the humor and energy of her song lyrics.
Lindita, who is a Kosovo-born personal trainer, sang "It's a Man's Man's Man's World." According to TV Line, she had been oblivious to Harry Connick Jr.'s "shady" remark about her sticking to the melody. The publication added that her "Xtina-inspired runs," had been on-point, though more than enough.
Kory Wheeler sang "Bennie and the Jets," which was viewed as a tribute to Haly Reinhart's moment in "American Idol" season 10. He received a Golden Ticket in 2015 and reports say that his performance had a soul.
Joshua Wicker, a handsome worship leader, sang Rihanna's ballad "Stay," as if he had composed the song himself. He reportedly could go "deep" into the competition, if he proves his power to sing in tune on the life stage. In addition, his ability to twist a female vocal song into his rendition could let him follow "American Idol's" David Cook, as per NJ News.
Following the "American Idol" 2016 premiere, it is assumed that the succeeding episodes of the singing competition is going to be tougher and filled with the judges' comments, fans' votes, and the hopefuls' dazzling performances.
