In the Top 14 round of American Idol Season 23, Amanda Barise gave one of her best performances to date when she performed her rendition of Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It." Her soothing vocals and flawless scatting won over many viewers as well as the judges. Amanda's performance was intended to demonstrate to America why the judges had rescued her the week before, and many viewers thought her confident and polished delivery fulfilled that promise.
Even though Amanda received great feedback and had a performance that was praised, her journey came to an abrupt end. She was startled by the fact that America did not vote her into the Top 12. Her skill made a lasting impression on the judges, her admirers, and everyone who heard her sing, even if her time in the competition is over.
Amanda's departure has spurred discussions regarding the American Idol voting system, particularly since exceptional performances do not always ensure a position in the following round. Disappointed, many admirers expressed their feelings on social media, thinking Amanda had more to offer.
An admirer of American Idol shared on X,
"Thought Amanda deserved to move on. LOVE your voice, Amanda! #AmericanIdol"
Another fan posted on social media,
"Aww dang Amanda! I love her voice! I’m glad she was saved last week and got a chance to sing one last time this week ❤️🫶🏽 #AmericanIdol"
"AMANDA SO F*CKING ROBBED CHE GO HOME #AmericanIdol," a tweet read.
While many sent condolences, other fans of American Idol thought sending Amanda home was the right decision.
A person criticized and posted,
"All these folks lyin' to this girl Amanda telling her that she did great with her rendition of Michael Jackson's 'I Can't Help It' is MADDENING!!! Esp @LionelRichie LYING telling her that 'even MJ couldn't sing like that' just made my rage increase!!! 😡#AmericanIdol"
Another netizen commented,
"Proof that Amanda can’t sing unless she is screaming. #AmericanIdol"
"I'm not sure I understood a single word Amanda sang for about 1/2 of that song. Hopefully America did since she needs the votes after last week. #AmericanIdol," shared another X user.
