Abi Carter Astonishes with Powerful Cover of Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life”

The American Idol final is tonight! Who do you think will win? One of The Music Man’s favorite performances from this season was when Abi Carter stunned viewers with a song known to be very difficult to cover. Wearing a black dress and knee-high boots, she was ready to take on Evanescence’s legendary hit song “Bring Me To Life,” hoping to impress TV viewers and the notoriously difficult-to-please Evanescence fans.

From the opening lines, the audience knew they were witnessing something special, including Katy Perry, who watched the whole performance open-mouthed. Her cover was an instant hit on YouTube, with many fans saying it is the best American Idol performance in history.

During the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame night on American Idol, Abi Carter delivered a special performance of Elton John’s classic “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” quickly becoming a fan favorite to win the show.

Sitting behind her Roland piano, Abi’s beautifully controlled vocals echoed around a totally silent studio as the audience listened intently to every word she sang. Not only did this stunning performance easily get her through to the next round, but it’s also blowing up online as fans dub her the winner of the show.

In the 2024 edition of American Idol, 21-year-old Abi Carter blew the judges away with her full confidence and armed with a piano as she covered “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish. From the outset, the judges could see the wealth of talent that this young individual possesses and were instantly moved by her immaculate vocal range when performing this complex and difficult song.

At just 21, Abi Carter is a well-rounded individual with a great personality and social skills. Before her performance, she shared glimpses into her life with the judges, telling them she has been a fan of American Idol all her life. Her song choice also received approval from Katy Perry, who said she loved the song. However, they were not prepared for just how good Abi Carter is. Watch below:

One beautiful aspect of this clip is not just Abi Carter’s performance, but the support and love she receives from her family watching backstage. From her brother commenting on how talented she is to her sister wiping away tears from their mother’s eyes, it’s clear that this family is close and exemplifies how far people can go with the right love and support system behind them. Fans have commented on how special their family is and how pure their interactions are.

“What Was I Made For?” was the fifth single released from the soundtrack of 2023’s Barbie movie. The soundtrack featured a vast array of huge musicians, from Eilish to Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj to Sam Smith, and Tame Impala. “What Was I Made For?” was one of the biggest hits off the album, winning Song of the Year—a true achievement, as the last song from a movie to win the same award was Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from 1997’s Titanic.

Outside of her time on American Idol, Abi Carter has been very busy preparing for the release of her first original song. “It’s All Love” is set for a March 2024 release, and with that, we wish all the very best to this incredibly talented individual.
