About Grace Kinstler American Idol Journey
Just as boston.com said, American Idol saved the best for last during its season 19 premiere on Feb. 14, 2021.
They were of course talking about Grace after she wowed judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry with performances of Gladys Knight & The Pips’s “Midnight Train to Georgia”. While the judges were already impressed by her performance yet they asked her to sing a second song. And so she sang Aretha Franklin’s “Natural Woman” and she left them as much astounded as were at the first time.
As a result, Luke, never been this moved by someone’s song during his four years on the show, compared her performance with the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson. The “Roar” and “Dark Horse” singer-songwriter, meanwhile called Grace’s voice true magic.
During the Hollywood Round, Grace sang “10 Seconds” by Jazmine Sullivan, “Grenade” by Bruno Mars, and “Father” By Demi Lovato. Advancing in the Top 24, she performed “Queen” by Jessie J and “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight & The Pips. (Provigil)
Grace picked “Elastic Heart” by Sia, “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, and “Into the Unknown” by Idina Menzel & Aurora (from Frozen II) as the songs to perform during Top 16, Top 12, and Top 10 rounds respectively.
As for her Top 7 performances, Grace sang “Fix You” by Coldplay and “When We Were Young” by Adele. Singing a duet with Willie Spence and the other two songs in Top 4, she reached the Top 3.
During the season finale, Grace performed “All By Myself” by Celine Dion and “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston. Despite giving it all, she couldn’t secure enough votes to win American Idol.
