Guys, who do YOU think is the real winner this season? And check out our LIVE reaction to the winner announecement: ua-cam.com/video/iIfhzjAmVoY/v-deo.html
Kudos to Graham for last-minute filling in for someone who blew off the performance like it was beneath him. Graham had no rehearsal with her, and just like he'd been going around to his friends' homes to root them on, he was there for this in the audience. Not even time for a wardrobe change - he went on completely as himself, smiled through it all and I think enjoyed his time with her and on stage. That's all that should be getting the attention here. Great guy.
Katy was definitely glad that Graham replaced Arthur, almost celebratory along with the other contestants that Arthur was not there. I’d be a fool to say they would look that excited were Arthur singing. And I’m not knocking Graham, he did his best with a short preparation. But Arthur has been the target of controversy ever since the twist was announced, to him making the top 7, and the blatant dismissal from the judges in his last episode, who legit wanted him gone. But if his reason for not performing was triggered by more of this shit then can’t blame him.
I literally tuned in the the finale ONLY to see Arthur/Dibesh sing with Sheryl Crow. What the hell? I like Graham, but it was clear that he wasn't prepared for those duets. I deleted Idol from my DVR when they booted Arthur a couple of weeks ago. The video views vs. votes just isn't adding up for me. Arthur consistently had as many or more views than Grace and Willie. And then Grace gets voted 3rd. Based on views & hype, Grace and Willie have been looking like Top 2 all season. Things just not adding up. I'm definitely done with watching the show after this.
Lol. UA-cam views have never been an accurate measure of the votes given that 1) not all viewers come from America, hence ineligible to vote and 2) not all viewers actually vote, etc.
He wasn't prepared because they asked him to step in like 2 hours before this. Arthur dropped out at the last minute so they asked Graham to step in at the last minute. I thought Graham was an absolute champ and he did a lot better than I would have with only a couple hours to prep!
He was going to sing with her, but literally five minutes before the performance he refused to come out of his trailer, the reasons I don't know, but he didn't want to sing. The production had the feeling he was going to bail so they contacted Graham weeks ago so he could be prepared if Arthur didn't sing and it happened.
For those of you that are confused, Arthur was suppose to perform with Sheryl, but literally 5 minutes before the performance Arthur refused to come out of his trailer and said he wasn’t going to perform. So the producers were panicking and asked graham if he could do it, so they literally through him on stage with no makeup, no wardrobe, no practice. He did a phenomenal job for it being last minute. Go to Clark Beckham’s page if you wanna know more.
Thats mean,Without any rehearsal he sang the whole song with sheryl . What a great story. Hahahha🤣🤣🤣 . And the funny thing is people belive it . Man ,Use some common sense. He is already prepared for that and waiting for arthur to leave.He might be force to leave the show and Create some story for twist. Who know what happen inside the show .Every thing is not that simple how we think. Iam really Sorry daniels If i said something wrong its only my point of views Have a good day😊🙏
I went out to get a TV antenna just so I could watch Arthur's performances... Disappointed because I enjoy watching him sing... Whatever happened Arthur, please know YOU ARE LOVED...
@@LauraR.2066 May I suggest in reality that I nor any one knows Arthur's full and first hand experience; and therefore, I feel we should kindly resist judgement on what happened IMO.
No matter what his reasons were, he still acted in an unprofessional way by refusing to perform. If he can’t handle the behind the scenes of Idol he certainly won’t last long in the music business.
@@julsrom05 At the last moment they said Arthur did not want to perform but no one knows what happened behind the scene. American Idol might have asked contestants sign a contract like a nda not to disclose anything that happens within AI environment which is why Arthur is not taking names. What if he was bullied or was in a bad situation. Last year AI was praising Arthur to be so humble and easy to work with and now they are saying the opposite. I dont believe anything they say, you dont know what extent they will go to make you look good or bad. Everything is scripted and people will always believe what AI will tell them.
He created his own controversy by waiting until the last possible minute to refuse to perform. So unprofessional!! No matter what his reasons were, it was still unprofessional.
Yeah Graham had to step in at the last minute because Arthur dropped out a couple hours before the show, so it makes sense that it wasn't arranged in a way that was ideal for him
What happened to Arthur? Is he okay? I know he was there before the show start....And he was in the rehearsal. I watched yesterday knowing that Arthur will be performing...Waited for 3 hrs!,!! I just wasted my time waiting for this sucks show!!!

Seriously AI what happened to Arthur, l tuned in only because l read that he will be singing...anyway the result wasn't/was shocking as usual...I'm really confused and upset with this show 😕
Why aren't you upset that he quit at the last minute? Hope his reason was family/personal emergency. It appears though that it ended on bad terms between him and Idol as it's so easy for Ryan to just say he left for personal reasons just like what happened to Wyatt.
Arthur Gunn bailed 5 minutes before it was time to go on live TV. Said it was due to personal "moral" reasons and an "unpleasant environment" but Graham was just THERE and they grabbed him.
@@ohifonlyx33 Clark Beckham, a former runner up of the show, talked to Graham about this and said in a video that he has worked in many unpleasant environments but Idol wasn't one of them so yeah... I says a lot about Arthur tbh
he refused to come out of his trailer 5 minutes before the performance, they spoke to Graham weeks ago cause they had the feeling Arthur was going to bail and he did, so Graham was prepared, I think he did great given the circumstances
@@valrojas16 you mean to say..Arthur was there during the finale and he bailed out the last minute and why? It should have been a perfect match for him and Cheryl Crow or at least with Casey Bishop!

@UCODZOBbzHOb4l0daca4zfNQ no haha Graham talked to Clark Bechkam about this and he talked about it in his youtube channel, they called him weeks ago, he though everything was good cause they didn't call him to performed but then he was asked five minutes before the performance and he didn't even have time to change his clothes
@@valrojas16 Lol, who believes this crap. American Idol is doing too much to create controversy so that people would watch them again. Some people are so attached and believe whatever goes on with AI. Of course Graham will tell anyone what ever American Idol has asked graham to tell coz he has signed contract as a contestant or else he would get his a** sued and who the crap believes in Clark who does anything for his youtube content.

Arthur I am a big fan of yours. But standing up Sheryl Crow because you are in a bad way is not cool. Gone is the bright light kind spirit of 2020 and what we see now is a bitter man. Still love your music but not the sour attitude of late.

@@ckjordan3620 ya that is taking a lot of what if’s and justifying really bad behavior. In the history of Idol not one finalist refused at the 11 th hour to come on stage. Even Phillip Phillips who had some label disagreements came on to not only perform but mentor up to 2020. This unfortunately is Arthur melting down before our eyes. He looks bad, was acting with a bitter demeanor the entire time he was on the show this season. He is canceling himself which is unfortunate since he got a lot of free publicity from the show. And he has tremendous talent but not so much that it can overcome a juggernaut like Idol.
@@Kreatures100 It is all about what ifs in this show, in the history of Idol there was no comeback performance as well. It is all to create controversy and attract audience, I dont believe anything what they say. In this kind of situation you only see AIs part of story, you can never judge someone by hearing one side of the story. AI wont allow Aurther to publish his side and take names coz his a** will get sued.
@@ckjordan3620that is because Arthur screwed up big time. I mean inviting Sheryl Crow to perform at some rinky dink club appearance with him to make up fir a trailer fit? Huh? No this all about bad Behavior and bad optics. He won’t get another tv appearance again. He will be blackballed. What may be ‘behind’ the scenes is drug or alcoholic addiction. He is acting like an addict and he had better claw his way back to sober and clear thinking before standing up the producers who made him a household name, gave him a second shot and paired him with a legendary person. He blew it. That’s all. Lights out. Very sad because the talent is there.
Well, it's obvious Graham wasn't prepared; but he did his best, and it wasn't that terrible👍🏽. The duet with Arthur would've been awful anyways, since he's always changing the melody to iconic songs and ruining them🤦🏽♀️
He did great what do you mean? He was prepared cause they talked to him weeks ago in case this happened, if you felt he was unprepared was maybe because they called him 5 mim before the performance haha
@@valrojas16 Yes! I also think, given the circumstances, that his performance was good. I said that because I read some people here in the comments section and on other channels, saying this performance was terrible.
Graham Defranco is a professional musician! Wishing him longevity in the music industry. On the other hand, should the seasoned sheryl crow needs to be grateful for an invitation given by the one who bailed out on her?
@@youtubecommenter37 How do you know he stood her up? Were you there? If you have exclusive scoop please share with us. Nobody knows what happened wise ass, so stop running your mouth and spreading rumors on an original talent and a "legend" in the making.
@@Mohse666 dude Graham was sitting in the audience and Ryan Seacrest literally went up to him during a commercial break to ask him to sing with Sheryl Crowe. Arthur literally ditched her at the last possible minute. The judges didn’t even know Arthur wasn’t going to perform until they took the stage
@@youtubecommenter37 Arthur ditched for a good reason that he explained on a recent post on his insta go check it out. Arthur is a humble soul...a person like that doesn't leave in the last minute for no reason unless he was deeply and gratuitously insulted. It sounds like some stupid bigots (like you James) confronted him while in the audience about why he came back as if it were his decision (the effing show invited him!) Some bigots threw shades him...something he couldn't stand....to blame an innocent person for accepting an invitation to sing and have an real live audience experience is bigotry masqueraded as "integrity and fairness" Arthur will keep shining, you losers like you James will come and go... and the more you hate on him the more he will shine.....Arthur is from Nepal the land of everest.. the land of heights and spiritual purity.
And I hope that damn train called AI derails into a river with Katy Perry on it. She has nitpicked at Arthur since last year when she couldn't keep her flapping trap shut about Arthur closing his eyes. However she loved Alejandro immensely. Look at the vids of AA on Idol. His eyes were closed in nearing every damn one of them. Just because she married a guy from India and it flopped. Don't take it out on Arthur. He is not from India.
So glad Arthur chickened out...could not stand him and his whining fans! He probably couldn’t convince Sheryl to change the words and arrangement to something he could sing and play....Good riddance
I kinda agree. It's obvious Graham wasn't prepared but he did his best, and it wasn't that terrible👍🏽. The duet with Arthur would've been awful anyways, since he's always changing the melody to iconic songs and ruining them🤦🏽♀️
Arthur and Sheryl both were ready for the show, they were good till rehearsal, something really bad had happened with arthur, otherwise no one will leave like that.
@@mandipghimire1095 like Alejandro 2 years ago.... the whole show is a joke. Why does everybody take it so seriously? Everyone gets butt hurt when their favorite doesn’t win... get a life! If they were any good they could get a contract on their own without the help of a pseudo reality show
He was literally there just to cheer on Chayce and they pulled him from the audience and asked if he could be a last minute replacement for Arthur Gunn, who just took off
OMG. If she thought she was going to sing with Arthur, she must have really cringed at this totally out of tune guy. Sweet guy, but a singer? Not in my world.
She stumbled over the opening of that second song without any help from him. It's not his fault her performance today was a D. He joined last minute. What's her excuse? I like her and her songs well enough. But wondering why he's getting more heat than her. Makes no sense.
@@thereellifewithjenniferwoods Well, in my case because she’s a professional performer, which means she’s judged in the real world, but he’s on a show to become a singer & almost nothing he sang was on key. I realize most people cannot tell when someone sings off key, but it drives me crazy, so I mentioned it, and then turned it off. Ugh! JMO🤷🏻♀️ I agree though, I wouldn’t buy her music either.
@@stefvonte2987 I see what you mean. But I do think Graham was doomed to fail given the fact he was plucked from the audience to do this maybe an hour or two beforehand. So I put less blame on him. I doubt he knows those songs very well. He's only two years older than them. I was 12 in the mid-90s, and I liked Sheryl Crow, and even I would struggle with them.
@@thereellifewithjenniferwoods I had no idea that had happened! I don’t have a TV - never have, but love music, so just pick up performances on UA-cam, so I miss the context of everything & only hear the actual performance. What happened with American Idol that they would do such a thing!? I have revised my estimation of him completely! It sounds like he didn’t have proper time to warm up or, as you say, learn the song. How unfair to him, and what a great guy he is to fill whatever hole they had in their program at the last minute. Seriously, the lack of proper prep & tension could completely explain his voice problem, which had surprised me because he actually sounded pretty good at least once before. It could explain her kind of rough performance as well. Thank you for explaining the situation. I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong & I believe I was.😔🕊
@@stefvonte2987 Not sure what happened. But I think I read somewhere he showed up to cheer for the others and was asked to fill in. They both looked very flustered. You're right, it could explain Sheryl Crow's performance too. Not sure why Arthur was out, but I heard people (and Ryan) say it was a very last minute change.

But if his reason for not performing was triggered by more of this shit then can’t blame him.

It's too bad because this year's finale is where Arthur and Just Sam belonged. They were both deserving of that over any voting re-do.

Arthur I am a big fan of yours. But standing up Sheryl Crow because you are in a bad way is not cool. Gone is the bright light kind spirit of 2020 and what we see now is a bitter man. Still love your music but not the sour attitude of late.
What happened
At the last moment they said Arthur did not want to perform but no one knows what happened behind the scene. American Idol might have asked contestants sign a contract like a nda not to disclose anything that happens within AI environment which is why Arthur is not taking names. What if he was bullied or was in a bad situation. Last year AI was praising Arthur to be so humble and easy to work with and now they are saying the opposite. I dont believe anything they say, you dont know what extent they will go to make you look good or bad.
@@ckjordan3620 ya that is taking a lot of what if’s and justifying really bad behavior. In the history of Idol not one finalist refused at the 11 th hour to come on stage. Even Phillip Phillips who had some label disagreements came on to not only perform but mentor up to 2020. This unfortunately is Arthur melting down before our eyes. He looks bad, was acting with a bitter demeanor the entire time he was on the show this season. He is canceling himself which is unfortunate since he got a lot of free publicity from the show. And he has tremendous talent but not so much that it can overcome a juggernaut like Idol.
@@Kreatures100 It is all about what ifs in this show, in the history of Idol there was no comeback performance as well. It is all to create controversy and attract audience, I dont believe anything what they say. In this kind of situation you only see AIs part of story, you can never judge someone by hearing one side of the story. AI wont allow Aurther to publish his side and take names coz his a** will get sued.
@@ckjordan3620that is because Arthur screwed up big time. I mean inviting Sheryl Crow to perform at some rinky dink club appearance with him to make up fir a trailer fit? Huh? No this all about bad Behavior and bad optics. He won’t get another tv appearance again. He will be blackballed. What may be ‘behind’ the scenes is drug or alcoholic addiction. He is acting like an addict and he had better claw his way back to sober and clear thinking before standing up the producers who made him a household name, gave him a second shot and paired him with a legendary person. He blew it. That’s all. Lights out. Very sad because the talent is there.
Graham did better anyway
Wtf where is the arthur
Arthur gunn 😘 😘
Arthur been not so well since being voted off again 🙏🏾
I doubt that is what happened. I am hoping he ll give an explanation.
Luke combs and chayce is singing together, luke and Casey.
Not bad but Arthur Gunn is Arthur Gunn
Where the fuck is Arthur gunn😡
Why don't I remember this guy?
Yes! Just unsubscribed the American idol youtube channel.
Garna ta mugi ksko bauko k janxa ra !!
I just love Mr.Defranco he is so hot
He is flerting with Chase?
Well, it's obvious Graham wasn't prepared; but he did his best, and it wasn't that terrible👍🏽. The duet with Arthur would've been awful anyways, since he's always changing the melody to iconic songs and ruining them🤦🏽♀️
He did great what do you mean?
He was prepared cause they talked to him weeks ago in case this happened, if you felt he was unprepared was maybe because they called him 5 mim before the performance haha
@@valrojas16 Yes! I also think, given the circumstances, that his performance was good. I said that because I read some people here in the comments section and on other channels, saying this performance was terrible.
@@CNJussyM Oh no no yes, I understood haha wasn't attacking you or anything, I was adding that info to your comment haha
@@valrojas16 Oh, okay👍🏽😄
Graham Defranco is a professional musician! Wishing him longevity in the music industry. On the other hand, should the seasoned sheryl crow needs to be grateful for an invitation given by the one who bailed out on her?
sheryl crow got really old.
I can see why Arthur decided to not do this duet
😂 --- wise move, Arthur.
No it’s actually pretty dumb. You don’t stand up a music legend like Sheryl Crowe at the last minute
@@youtubecommenter37 How do you know he stood her up? Were you there? If you have exclusive scoop please share with us.
Nobody knows what happened wise ass, so stop running your mouth and spreading rumors on an original talent and a "legend" in the making.
@@Mohse666 dude Graham was sitting in the audience and Ryan Seacrest literally went up to him during a commercial break to ask him to sing with Sheryl Crowe. Arthur literally ditched her at the last possible minute. The judges didn’t even know Arthur wasn’t going to perform until they took the stage
@@youtubecommenter37 Arthur ditched for a good reason that he explained on a recent post on his insta go check it out.
Arthur is a humble soul...a person like that doesn't leave in the last minute for no reason unless he was deeply and gratuitously insulted. It sounds like some stupid bigots (like you James) confronted him while in the audience about why he came back as if it were his decision (the effing show invited him!)
Some bigots threw shades him...something he couldn't stand....to blame an innocent person for accepting an invitation to sing and have an real live audience experience is bigotry masqueraded as "integrity and fairness"
Arthur will keep shining, you losers like you James will come and go... and the more you hate on him the more he will shine.....Arthur is from Nepal the land of everest.. the land of heights and spiritual purity.
@@Mohse666 They knew he was going to bail, they even called Graham weeks ago so he could be prepared, this says a lot of both of them as artists
Chayce won....
This is a train wreck
And I hope that damn train called AI derails into a river with Katy Perry on it. She has nitpicked at Arthur since last year when she couldn't keep her flapping trap shut about Arthur closing his eyes. However she loved Alejandro immensely. Look at the vids of AA on Idol. His eyes were closed in nearing every damn one of them. Just because she married a guy from India and it flopped. Don't take it out on Arthur. He is not from India.
Was kinda awful
I think this sounds like crap
This was horrible
So glad Arthur chickened out...could not stand him and his whining fans! He probably couldn’t convince Sheryl to change the words and arrangement to something he could sing and play....Good riddance
He definitely would have sang it better anyways!
Yeah for you not for the millions out there.cry more while he gets more popular.
I kinda agree. It's obvious Graham wasn't prepared but he did his best, and it wasn't that terrible👍🏽. The duet with Arthur would've been awful anyways, since he's always changing the melody to iconic songs and ruining them🤦🏽♀️
Arthur and Sheryl both were ready for the show, they were good till rehearsal, something really bad had happened with arthur, otherwise no one will leave like that.
@@mandipghimire1095 like Alejandro 2 years ago.... the whole show is a joke. Why does everybody take it so seriously? Everyone gets butt hurt when their favorite doesn’t win... get a life! If they were any good they could get a contract on their own without the help of a pseudo reality show
This was not a good song for this guy. Did not sound that great.
He was literally there just to cheer on Chayce and they pulled him from the audience and asked if he could be a last minute replacement for Arthur Gunn, who just took off
@@youtubecommenter37 Grahan is the best friend Chayse needs... I like his support and here we are, him singing with Sheryl Crow. I like him.
What if he didnt know the words?! that would be weird - I mean everyone knows the words to this song but imagine if he didnt? awk.
They probably had a teleprompter.
He was prepared, they called him weeks ago cause they had the feeling Arthur was going to bail.
Well, we had ENOUGH of Arthur's scratching his head each time he answers a question!!!!
Who is this toneless lackluster wonder? I’m sure that Sheryl Crow went really? He could’ve at least dressed the part.
He didnt know he was going to sing. Filled in at the last minute for a no show Arthur.
Firstttt
2nd
Probably Arthur sing better than cow thats why he was replaced.She cant keep with Arthur range and rawness.
OMG. If she thought she was going to sing with Arthur, she must have really cringed at this totally out of tune guy. Sweet guy, but a singer? Not in my world.
She stumbled over the opening of that second song without any help from him. It's not his fault her performance today was a D. He joined last minute. What's her excuse?
I like her and her songs well enough. But wondering why he's getting more heat than her. Makes no sense.
@@thereellifewithjenniferwoods Well, in my case because she’s a professional performer, which means she’s judged in the real world, but he’s on a show to become a singer & almost nothing he sang was on key. I realize most people cannot tell when someone sings off key, but it drives me crazy, so I mentioned it, and then turned it off. Ugh! JMO🤷🏻♀️ I agree though, I wouldn’t buy her music either.
@@stefvonte2987 I see what you mean. But I do think Graham was doomed to fail given the fact he was plucked from the audience to do this maybe an hour or two beforehand. So I put less blame on him. I doubt he knows those songs very well. He's only two years older than them. I was 12 in the mid-90s, and I liked Sheryl Crow, and even I would struggle with them.
@@thereellifewithjenniferwoods I had no idea that had happened! I don’t have a TV - never have, but love music, so just pick up performances on UA-cam, so I miss the context of everything & only hear the actual performance. What happened with American Idol that they would do such a thing!? I have revised my estimation of him completely! It sounds like he didn’t have proper time to warm up or, as you say, learn the song. How unfair to him, and what a great guy he is to fill whatever hole they had in their program at the last minute. Seriously, the lack of proper prep & tension could completely explain his voice problem, which had surprised me because he actually sounded pretty good at least once before. It could explain her kind of rough performance as well. Thank you for explaining the situation. I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong & I believe I was.😔🕊
@@stefvonte2987 Not sure what happened. But I think I read somewhere he showed up to cheer for the others and was asked to fill in. They both looked very flustered. You're right, it could explain Sheryl Crow's performance too. Not sure why Arthur was out, but I heard people (and Ryan) say it was a very last minute change.
