SPOILERS FOR AMERICAN IDOL 2019

This thread will be for spoilers of the new season.

If you do not want to be spoiled stay out! 

LAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm so excited!!!  He has been in Nashville so I think he has been mentored by someone there.  Idol was obviously paying attention to those who were so disappointed that he was cut so early last season.  I love Maddie, she is a sweetheart, but Laine is a hearthrob    Oh and he is liking AI posts on Instagram.  

I am just so excited about Laine.

If he makes it through Hollywood and non voting rounds he will win.

If they don't put him through to voting rounds they are beyond stooooopid!! 

Just the little bit America saw of him last season got him tons of fans and gigs!!

So this is apparently the Top 20 .......... anyone look familiar?

Do you see Laine?

Not sure.......I'm wondering about the guy in the plaid on the left or there is someone else you can't see in front of the larger guy on the right.

I enlarged and I dont think the guy in the plaid is Laine.  I counted and only 18 are visible. 

Would be like AI to not show a picture where Lainr could be seen.

Yep because he would be instantly recognizable.  We can be that they for sure will make us sweat over whether he makes it or not.

I am probably heading into fan girling big time. 

It was nice liking contestants but not going over board fan girl.

I have been fangirling over him for a year already!!  (I really was not crazy for anyone last year!  I don't even remember most of the names   Katie I remember best)

Will the Lives be Top 20 or Top 12????? 

He best win or runner-up!!!!  Come on Idol peeps and America!!  GET IT RIGHT!!!! 

Should be interesting to see everyone else in the Top 20 that he is competing with!

Canear and I fangirled over Laine also.

The 3 of us were devastated when  he was cut. I liked many of last years contestants.  Cade my fav but I was OTT over him.  Liked Gabby,  Maddie and Caleb.  Very good season. 

But Laine has that it factor.  He could break big.

As you know I did not think much of last season.  I do not think any of them have or will do much.

Maybe Cade will get work as a session guitarist or be in a band.

I do think Laine could be a break out star for sure!!!

Oh I remember being sooooooo perturbed that they cut him     But looking back everything happens for a reason and perhaps that put a fire under him and he has been working hard and polishing his skills and charm.     

He just posted on Instagram

It’s now or never 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Make it NOW

Should have been ALREADY!!!   

So so excited to see him on my TV again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too. Hopefully all season.

😍

Right up until the crown him the winner!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I dont want to get ahead of myself hoping Laine wins

I do!! 

Oh, just wishful thinking on my part.  I just hope the judges don't try and push someone else for the win like they tend to do.

I am hoping that after last years contestants haven't broken into the music biz Idol leaves it alone.  After the fact they saw how popular Laine was.  I dont think Laine helped his cause by being a pain Hollywood week.

It was the group round and I honestly do not blame a lot of them for being upset.  It can be a real mess and cause good people to be cut.  They are not competing as a band or group so don't put them in that position.

Top 20 solos and celebrity duets are being filmed today and tomorrow.   MJs has spoliers.

It is spoiled that Laine is singing Come Together.  Not sure I love that song choice.
