American Idol is back, and young singer Abi Carter took the judges by storm with her rendition of “What Was I Made For?,” the Billie Eilish tune featured in the Barbie movie.
Abi is 21 years old, but her voice shares a lifetime of emotions and power. This was the perfect song for her — and the judges knew it!
She started her audition by answering judges questions about how she grew up. Abi Carter told them she’d be performing “What Was I Made For?,” and Katy Perry and the other American Idol judges were beyond excited.
But with such a powerful song, the stakes are high!
Thankfully, Abi delivered.
Abi took the piano and began singing, starting softly and growing in intensity. She varied her sound tonally throughout the performance, making for a riveting rendition of the tune.
It was like she was in her own world, just creating beautiful music for us to hear.
Abi Carter’s American Idol audition ended with all three judges on their feet. She was overwhelmed with emotion. Obviously, there’s no doubt that this young musician will be a fan favorite.
We’re so excited to see what she does on the show!
Good luck, Abi!
