There were a few I really wanted to advance! But the highlight of the show was Luke giving away his boots! I liked Idol better when it was on FOX!

Blog (VIDEOS)

Idol 2019 Hollywood Week begins tonight (March 24) on
ABC at 8 pm ET/PT. Featured on the panel are veteran R&B
master, Lionel
Richie, pop star Katy
Perry and country singer Luke
Bryan. Ryan
Seacrest returns to host.
The gang's all here! The judges arrive for
Hollywood Week. The contestants and their families are in
the audience looking nervous. Idol mentor Bobby Bones makes
his first appearance. Solos are first!

Laci Kaye Booth –
Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin – Katy had called the
country singer a "diamond in the rough." Laci does a
bluesy version of the song on an acoustic guitar. This
doesn't sound very country? But it's still a good
arrangement! Her voice sounds a little rough. And it's the
beginning of the week. Still, love her rasp.

Alejandro
Aranda – Sorry by Justin Bieber –  The
audition was a blur for him. The experience is "pushing me
out of my boundaries" he says. He has self doubt, which
Bobby is on hand to help.  His guitar playing continues
to be mesmerizing. He definitely puts his own spin on the
hit. The judges are kinda freaking out in their seats. Katy
throws her jacket. Luke and Lionel join her!
It's
line of 10 time.  The other singers join Laci and
Alejandro on stage. Alejandro,
Laci and Kay Kay are asked to step forward. They are through
to the next round. Katy warns them to work on their
confidence. The rest are eliminated.

Courtney
Penry – Whole Lotta Woman by Kelly Clarkson. Whoo
boy. Chicken girl is crying. She's the gal who had a crush
on Ryan Seacrest when she audition in 2011. She hasn't
even sung yet! Katy gives her a hug. Good lord. She yells
her way through the song, forgetting many of the words. That
was atrocious.  Courtney doesn't care. "I got to be
me," she says.Courtney
is, unsurprisingly, eliminated.
Madison
Vandenberg – Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson –
The judges had compared Madison to Kelly
Clarkson, so she's going right ahead with a Kelly
song! Her dad is a single parent and very supportive. I wish
she had chosen a song with more melody, but this performance
REALLY shows off her pretty tone and range.
Margie
Mays – Lay Me Down by Sam Smith – This is the
energetic chick who made weird noises and dumb hand gestures
all through her audition. Katy plays right into her
insanity.. It's annoying! However, this performance is
CONSIDERABLY better than her audition. She just needs to
calm down.
Tyler
Mitchell – He's the tall, handsome country
singer who auditioned in New York City.

Logan
Johnson – Sensible Heart by Dallas Green –
He's a recovering drug addict. He's got a 9 month coin
and at that point in Hollywood, was 10 months sober. GOOD
FOR HIM. Keep sobriety front and center kid. It's way more
important than a show business career. Stay sober, the rest
will fall in place. And that IS the end of my lecture.
He's trying to prove that he's worthy of his parents
love. YOU ARE IN ANY CASE! Believe that! Anyway, he performs
a beautiful version of "Sensible Heart.

Madison,
Margie, Tyler and Logan are through to the next
roundUH OH
A BUG IS SPREADING!!! Peeps are sick. Will folks be vomiting
into garbage cans? Heh. Katy advises that they use Oil of
Oregano for any throat problems.

Eddie
Island – I'll Follow You Into the Dark by Death
Cab for Cutie –  This kid knows how to promote
himself. Sadly, he's not feeling well. He's puking "I
can't keep anything down." It was a short bit, but he
sounded good, nevertheless. They raspy thing actually helps
him I think. 
Eddie
and some others are through to the next
round

Shawn
Robinson – Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke –
Katy sings Firework with kleenex stuck up her nose. A few
too many runs, but he has a distinctive voice. Lionel is on
his feet.
Colby
Swift – Every Teardrop Falls by Freddie Fender
– At 10 years old, his mom left the family. But his dad
has been supportive. It's his first trip to Los Angeles.
"I've never taken a voice lesson in my life!" Colby
declares. Luke stops him, and asks him to sing without the
guitar. He breaks out some Spanish. His voice really
improved without the strumming. After the judges give him a
standing ovation, Colby cries. When Luke notices Colby has
holes in his soles, he hands over his boots!!!
Colby
and the entire line are through to the next round, including
Shawn Robinson,  Dalton Elliott and Katie
Belle

Ashton
Gill –  I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie
Raitt – She's Laine Hardy's pal.  He's been
encouraging her all week. She has a real pretty
voice.

Laine
Hardy – She Talks to Angel by Black Crows – He
feels more confident than last year and it shows.  His
pitch has REALLY improved and his gravelly rasp even more
compelling.  
Uh
oh. Laine
is advancing and Ashton is eliminated.
SADS. 

Jade
Flores – Unchained Melody by the Righteous
Brothers – She wants to be the first Latina country
singer. She's a redhead now. She's dreamed of being on
Idol her entire life. HOLY HECK. Where is this coming from?
She's a terrific singer. Love the country twist she gave
the song, with her clear sweet, strong voice.

Myra
Tran – Chandelier by Sia – She's a big voiced
Vietnamese singer and is developing a huge online following.
Ooh. She's singing a contemporary song. But her voice is
so LOUD. She needs to learn how to dial it down from
11. 

Jeremiah
Lloyd Harmon – Beautiful as you Feel by Carole
King – He sang a gorgeous original song at his audition.
He's gay, and his super religious family doesn't accept
him. He feels he NEEDS to advance. He has nothing to return
to at home, except a crummy janitor job at his dad's
church. Hm. Don't love this as much as his original. But I
still want to hear more.
Jade,
Myra and Jeremiah are through to the next
round!

Walker
Burroughs – Whereabouts by Stevie Wonder – He
performs at the piano. This is very nice! And his skin is
clear! Heh. His musicality continues to be impressive and
his vocal was even better than his audition.

Nate
Walker – I Believe in You and Me by Whitney
Houston. He's Gabby Barrett's pal. She's been
encouraging him all the way through. Vocally, he's got a
lot going on–pleasing tone, and range–but he overdoes
the runs.
Nate
and Walker are through to the next round.Next
we see a montage of singers who didn't make it
through.And
now, it's two singers who have lost loved ones.

Nick
Townsend – Life of the Party by Shawn Mendes –
Nick lost two brothers to suicide, but he won't allow
grief to defeat him.. He sings a sweet version of "Life of
the Party," but without much charisma. 

Lauren
Engle – Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood
– Her husband was killed in a terrible car accident. He
was her musical inspiration, so she carries on.
Unfortunately, Lauren fumbles the high notes, which is too
bad because the original she performed at her audition was
so good. 
Nick
advances to the next round, while Lauren is
eliminated.

Wade
Cota – Litost by X Ambassadors – He's another
singer with a heartbreaking story. His dad beat and abused
him until his mom managed to get away. Wade's rootsy style
continues to be compelling.  

Dimitrius
Graham – Wind Beneath my Wings by Bette Midler
– Ah. Our first look at Dimitrius. His mother is about to
have sudden emergency. He face times her before he takes the
stage. The judges hold the phone up while he sings. And this
is why Katy was crying in the promo clip. Because of his
mama.  Dimitrius has a very sweet voice, with tons of
range.  
Wade
and Demetrius are through to the next
round! 

Eliminated:
Peach Martine, Jorgie, Sargeant Landon Knowlton.
Landon says he was too nervous.  Peach insists she'll
be the next Mick Jagger and the judges will "have to
watch." Aw. I was hoping Jorgie would go
further. 

Also
through to the next round: Juan Pablo, Evelyn Cormier,
Ashley Hess, Clay Page and Shayy.

The
Group Round is next! Time to form the groups. Now the REAL
drama begins. 

Diversity
– Stronger by Kelly Clarkson – Myra Tran, Jade Flores,
Moriah Formica and Juan Pablo – Juan was that annoying
dude who laid on the Latin schtick at his audition. Oh
surprise surprise, Juan is being a mansplaining d*ckhead to
his fellow group mates. Jade is pushed to tears. Juan
sniffed it would have been different with a group of men.
JERRRRRKKKK. Right before their performance, Juan
disappears. Bobby goes looking for him. He was practicing in
the janitor's room. 'It's difficult to be in a
quartet" he whines.So
far, the performance is good. The gals are tearing it up.
Juan is…just OK.  Hm. Myra oversinging. Dial it back
girl. We know you can sang.
Katy calls Juan smooth and sultry but maybe not authentic.
Oh man. Juan,
Moriah Formica and Myra Tran advance.. Jade is
eliminated. I find that shocking.

FYI:
Moriah
Formica made it to The Voice Playoffs a few seasons ago.

Zeb
Spencer, Chloe Channell and Ethan Payne are eliminated from
their groups. I can understand Zebulon and Ethan
being eliminated, but Chanel is an outstanding country
singer. Ethan sang with Luke on stage years ago for Make a
Wish. He broke the bad news to the singer, of course.
Ultimate drama!

There's
Adriana
McPhee, sister of Katharine
McPhee. She's a vocal coach and putting the kids
through the paces. Oh. She's being super tough on the
kids. I MISS MICHAEL
ORLAND! The show declined to bring him back as
musical director. What's wrong with them?

Diamond
Dixies – Katie Belle, Laci Kaye Booth, Laine
Hardy, Colby Swift – Grenade by Bruno Mars – Katie
isn't bad here. The harmonies are bad, however! Laine is
putting some twang on the song. Colby totally forgets the
words. He's trying.. But the tune is a terrible fit for
him. Laine,
Katie, and Laci are through. Colby is
eliminated. Whoo boy. Maybe Colby should have
worn his lucky shoes. 

Victorious
Secret – California Dreaming by Mamas and Papas
– Kason Lester, Wade Cota, Grayson Little – Wade has
never heard the song California Dreaming. WHAT? Who has
never heard that classic? He writes all the words on his
arm. Which is a Hollywood Week trick that NEVER EVER WORKS.
Not this time either.  To be fair, there's a ton of
lyric forgetting here. Lionel calls Wade on the arm writing.
Turns out shadows inhibited his ability to arm read. Oh.
Luke tells the story of how he forgot the lyrics to the
National Anthem. And he had the words written on his arm
too. Eep.  Man, they REALLY allowed Wade to skate free,
here.. – Kaitlin,
Kason, Payton and Wade are through, Grayson is
eliminated. 

Unexpected
Vibe – I Want it That Way by Backstreet Boys
–  Shayy, Dimitrius Graham,  Assata Renae,
William Oliver, Jr. – Shayy's blindness is making things
difficult. She can't read the lyrics. Her mom is allowed
to intervene and help. And now, she's got the words! Her
group mates are being really sweet. This
group is SO GOOD. Shayy struggles a little on the low notes,
but once she hits her higher register, she signs. In a show
of solidarity, the rest of the group don blacked out glasses
for the last verse. Lionel is crying again! He takes the
stage for a group hug. Every singer in this group shone. I
don't understand why William was cut.  Dimitrius,
Assetta, Shay advance. William is
eliminated. 

Ain't
Goin Home – Longest Time by Billy Joel – Logan
Johnson, Nate Walker – They had trouble with their first
song choice. Plus, Nate is getting sick–his voice is
scratchy. He's also got a headache and more. The
paramedics arrive to check him out. "He needs to go,"
one says. It looks like he has the flu. The ambulance takes
him away.Bobby
advises the remaining singers. "Now you're a
trio." 

AND
CLIFFHANGER!  What happens to Nate? What about the rest
of the group? Tune in tomorrow (Monday March 25) at 8 pm
ET/PT on ABC to find out…
