She went from this mousy little girl with a big bow in her hair to looking and sounding like a total pro at the end. I've never seen such a transformation! I don't know if there's ever been a more deserving winner since KC. I'm so glad America got this one right.

Yes same here! Amazing young lady!

At 67 years old, I have enjoyed a few great singer/entertainers in my time. However, I have never, until Abi, become emotional during every song. Abi’s humbleness is what touches my old heart mostly. Not to mention her God given talents. May you always remain loving and humble. Old fan here….

My sentiments exactly...so happy that goodness is happening to Abi, it just nice to see someone kind and good be successful.

She was my pick to win from the beginning. Watching the show week to week it was clear she was great, but watching it like this blew me away. It’s so crazy to see the growth she went through over the entire season. Not only is she a great singer she became a great performer/actress and really leaned in to the songs she was signing. I’m glad America agreed with me.

Congratulations Abi. I believe she will be as big as Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson with the proper management.

What is her true purpose in her lifetime?? The voice she has is to be used to worship the God who created her. Singing songs that do not glorify God, is NOT her purpose in this lifetime.

@@Jennifer-zq1mi So no one should ever sing unless it's specifically a religious song that glorifies YOUR God? That at best seems quite a bit judgmental on your part, unless of course you are God, in which case I guess it's all good.

It wasn't a blind audition, but he knew her caliber from the start 🌟

Best and truest statement ever on American Idol was made by Katy Perry to Ali Carter after Ali sang, “What Was I Made For.” Katy came down to the piano and said so lovingly and tenderly, “What were you made for?? You were made for THIS.”

Congratulations Abi. I’m been following you since your audition and was cheering for you to win . You have an amazing voice . I hope you stay humble and I hope you will sing more Christian music and glorify God who gave you this gift .

She has such a great voice. The way she put emotion into every performance is amazing. I will be looking forward to hearing her own written music.

Katie Perry: "...you deserve some grace..." that was beautiful, and true, and something we all need.

Goosebumps every time she sings, just wow!

Ever since a couple years before the network change, it felt pretty obvious to me that The Voice consistently had superior talent to Idol; but this year, almost any of Idol's Top 20 could've made it to the finale of The Voice without breaking sweat

Abi is an old soul....I remember seeing her audition and thought....I would love to see her journey. I'm happy for her❤

Whaaaaaat!?!?! I didn’t watch this year and OH MY GOD they have the BEST OF THE BEST EVER TO EXIST IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN IDOL! This beautiful soul of a young lady is EVERYTHING!!! She is PERFECTION! THAT VOICE!!!! She can do everything and she does it perfectly! The Chain is my favorite!!! I’m in awe….❤ thank you to her beautiful mother for creating this work of art of a girl for us all to appreciate and listen to!

This girls incredible. She has to be the best performer I've ever seen on American Idol. Usually American Idol singers just kind of stand there and sing, and their performance is boring. Abi Carter has it all.

Awesome person with a once in a lifetime voice!

Every time I stumble on to these videos of Abi, I fall in Love all over again ! 🎶 🎶 🎶 🥰

Abi's amazing. Luke is silly, Lionel is adorable, and Katy cries like Lucille Ball.

Incredible the perception of the judges that she would be the winner of American Idol from the audition. She was on a different level from the others, that's for sure.

I love Katie Perry. She is so deep. So wonderful. Authenticity is Katy.

Abi Carter is like Kelly Clarkson...they both ruled the competition. And, great talents!❤

I've watched Abi's songs over and over. Her voice is amazing. For someone who graduated summa cum laude with a degree in psychology, she is still humble. Love her

One of the greatest talent of today!❤

Abi invested so much To reach the musical quality we were exposed to. She definitely deserves to be an idol, And she is indeed an idol.😍😍😇😇

Such an amazing voice!!❤️❤️

Dear sweet Abi, a voice from heaven. I watched her first audition to her winning .what was she made for .Singing like an angel. Couldn’t vote in Australia but America got it right. Onya darling stay true to your self❤❤😅

Abi, you deserve to be the American idol. I can’t wait to hear your songs. Always remember your roots because Hollywood can changed a person.

Great compilation of the next generations’ Star! Abi is incredible.

This was a well deserved win. She has an amazing voice

I knew from the start... ABI WAS THE WINNER!!!

Not since Adam Lambert had I seen such a talent in any of these shows. Not just the voice, but stage presence and charisma. Well done Ms Carter. Congratulations!

She really deserves to be the winner!!!!!! Amazing singer and the sincerity of her character

God gives amazing gifts!!! Abby is sooo deserving! Amazing! Thank YOU ! Congrats on your Win !

Bravo my dear!!you are amazing!!!

The moment I saw her audition, I said to my husband she IS going to be the winner.. and boom 💥

When Abi sings "What Was I Made For?" while she has tears in her eyes after she was announced as the winner brings tears to my eyes.

I knew she was going to win the American idol I knew that

F@#$ing love Bishop too. Incredible! ❤

It was destiny from the get go I totally agreed with Luke and Lionel when they said that could be the winner right there at her audition Shes incredible I think the best since Kelly what a winner for the 20th anniversary

ahhhh i love her so muchhhh 😭🥰

Wow, this Aby is mesmerizing, and that's all I can say ❤❤

There was a moment when the 3 platinum ticket holders took the stage to kick off the first night of post-Hollywood live shows where Abi opened the show and she just seemed like she wasn't in a competition anymore. She was just separating herself from almost everyone else, like they were all amateurs and she was a concert pro. But then when Julia Gagnon joined that number for a few minutes I thought that Julia might end up winning the season. She was very good, but Abi was the best every week for the entire season. Any thought of a competition ended when she did Bring Me to Life. What a great performer. Hoping she becomes a big star.

Please, ABI, record a BED OF ROSES 🌹 SONG. YOU SANG IT SO BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU

She should make or They should make a movie Abi's show, I would enjoy watching it

Congratulations Abi❤️❤️❤️

Yes viewers, the Music God was smiling down on this angel on American Idol on Sunday night. I have been watching talent shows from all over the world for many years now, and finally the viewers have got it spot on. From her audition until her final song on Sunday night, she has sung from the heart, even when suffering from bronchitis in the early heats. Her song choices, and her mentors had a lot to do with her success, but her biggest asset is her voice. This young woman will go far in the industry, and it has been an utter privilege to watch the girl next door become a Superstar because she followed her heart. Katy Perry said that "a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Abi, your wish is coming true". Thankfully, that prediction was fulfilled, and for the first time in four years a woman has won, and in also in for the first time ever, a platinum card winner takes home the crown. Abi, you are a worthy winner; you have been the benchmark all series. May you enjoy ongoing success for many years, and may your tours enable you to come to these shores, and allow you present your divine voice with my fellow Australians. You are a champion Abi Carter, and we are your devoted followers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 1:11:40

Abi is amazing! She got better and better as she progressed. As Luke said, Abi is great at periodically looking at the camera (52:31) -- she makes the viewers feel like she is singing directly to them.

Her lower notes are also beautiful

I want o buy her music and also, I wish that she can recording some Holidays songs! ❤ spectacular creature! She is gifted!

Yes the angelic frequency cuts through the dross and the song Yellow Brick Road had me sobbing, stay close to the Truth love you Abi

I would like to hear her do an ACDC song.

Love how in her first audition the judges said “that’s the winner of american idol right there” and she won!!!! CRAZY!
