Emmy Russell The Climb Full Performance Top 5 Disney Night | American Idol 2024 

I had my heart set on her singing "When She loved me" from Toy Story 2. I cry every time I hear it and I feel like it was made for her. As a fellow shy, artsy Tennessee girl, I wish Emmy the best and am excited to see what she does next! FYI...these are real life human people that have actual emotions. If you wouldn't say a comment to someone's face...don't type it. You don't have to like something, but you can still have enough respect for someone to say "not for me" ,or "Has some more growing to do" without trying to break people's spirit. Speak Life, people :)

I respect this sweet soul so much!!! She reminds me of myself with similar challenges and yet shows up and flows up each time!!! This isn't it baby girl this show has helped to strengthen what you already know inside. It's your journey, it's your climb!!!! Do this for YOU!!! Keep rising, keep shining, keep loveing yourself through and through!!! Your amazing just as you are Emmy Russell!!! Congrats on giving it your all and all the best for your successful journey ahead!!!

I am an Emmy fan and I cried last night when she was sent home

Beautiful young lady. I can tell this isn't the route for her. She doesn't seem to want it badly enough--and that is quite okay--she has received recognition and I think she will go far--the WAY SHE WANTS to go forward! Sometimes I hate to see these talented, beautiful young people who are sacrificed to Hollywood and the evils that lie there--and in the song industry. Many are just too strong in their own skin to want to go that way. ( ie.I think Arthur Gunn was like this) Stay strong Emmy--because you are--just in a different way!

Emmy you are an awesome lady. Your Meemaw is watching down on you smiling. My "best friend" and I love you so much. Love and Prayers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏✝️🌻

Emmy has the voice she just needs more time to figure out what type of artist she's going to be and work through her nerves. Once she does that she will go far.

i love her she just a sweetheart!

I wasn’t a huge fan of Emmy but she done great on this!!

Go Emmy!

Emmy you are bigger than Idol . Keep pounding . You have it just keep moving forward .

Best performance i have heard on this song by Miley

Love this song and her personality sad she didn’t make but she’ll go far in the music industry

Love Kane Brown. He's so sweet

I have so enjoyed watching Emmy throughout this AI season. When you think of what the show is, and originally supposed to be about she definitely fits the mark. At the starting point, Emmy is a young women with her own special talent who came into the competition to show her abilities and to learn and grow as a singer, performer, and a person in the world of entertainment. Too often we are now seeing young, polished contestants who are coming to the show after years of preparing as a young child with professional lessons and such as if they were grown adults singing professionally for decades. I thought AI was suppose to be a competition for discovery of a raw talent to possibly super stardom. I felt this year exemplified this more than usual with several contestants and Emmy fit this description by these standards. Wasn’t it something to see in a young woman like Emmy trying to find her own name, way, her own place in the music industry and by all accounts not relying on her beloved and superstar country queen Memaw, Loretta Lynn? She would have been the proudest of Emmy for going her own way. Whatever anyone thinks about Emmy, she was the one AI who grew the most from where she started and with a renewed belief in herself and she sang and performed with such humility, courage, and a kindness that maybe is what we need to see in our younger generations of not just performers, but human beings. I’d like to think Simon would have said something like this if he were still a judge. Still, I know he wanted the stellar voice to go with it all. Emmy certainly has her own sound and that’s what works in today’s industry. It’s not just the voice AI is looking to find, but that star quality in a performer and person and I think Emmy uniquely and on her own terms radiates this completely✨. Best of luck, 🍀 Emmy!!! Your fans out here love you and we look forward to your new music forthcoming!!! 💕🤗💫

I wanted to vote for Emmy Russell but since I live in Canada I can't and that isn't fair at all.

As much as I was shocked she didn’t make it through I still think she’ll have a chance

I am so upset that Emmy was voided out

Honey you need to try out for the voice for season 26 I think that you would do fantastic ok give it a shot

She is just very likable.

had to have gone home

AMERICAN IDOL WINNER PAYOFF - OLD TO NEW - KELLY CLARKSON WAS THE FIRST. Clarkson has been cleaning up since her first starring role on a television show: She won $1 million (plus a record deal) when she took the top spot on American Idol. American Idol: What does the winner get? TODAY Outside of exposure, the winners of American Idol receive a pretty penny and a record contract with Hollywood Records. They first receive $125,000, and then an additional $100,000 after they complete an entire album for a total of $250,000, according to Newsweek. The Idol winners also "have a budget of as much as $300,000 to record that album, which is given as an advance that they will have to pay back against future earnings," according to the outlet. While this might seem like a lot of money, the prize money is substantially lower now than in previous years.

I love Emmy but not a good song choice. The climb on disney night? Why not pick a fun Disney song. Bright future ahead.

There is no way she has been judged under the same scrutiny as other contestants by the judges. Lionel always says something about how he always forgets stuff or is nervous performing, trying to play down her lack of skills as a performer, Katy always has cringe looks on her face during the actual performances, then talks to her afterwards like she is talking to a 10yr old kid, and Luke cant add much given his voice is pretty average too tbh. It's an absolute rort that a lot of them went home before her. Producers rigged this up 100%.

Every week sounds the same with her voice

Emmy definitely showed progress and grew in this competition, but I think the top 3 contestants were the right 3.

awesome singers but dang they need to drop Disney, bunch of freaks.

She sounds shaky like every performance. She needs to try harder to make the improvement.

Emmy did so awesome with this song. It really does reflect her journey on American Idol and she sounds almost like Miley Cyrus singing this song. Sad to hear she got elemenated in this round.😥 Hope some Nashville record label recognizes her talent being the great granddaughter of Loretta Lynn and offers her a record deal after all she has been through.

I'm sorry but who picks Hannah Monatana on Disney night, wtf ?

Surprised she made it this far. Lots of better contestants than her!

How on earth did she get this far

was hoping she got picked now im disappointed

She's just not as popular as Abi. Emmy did awesome. This was just the wrong song. Her voice isn't powerful enough for this song and she still lacks confidence.

So glad I don’t have to listen to her pitchy singing anymore!

She’s had some pitch problems in most of her performances. But I think it’s her emotional connection is what brought her this far. There were definitely way better singers than her.

She’s some time good n not ❤

Bad song choice. She’s just not that good yet.

Ummm

She sounds like miley cyrus🙂

Her grandmothers name carried her this far, but she isn't good enough on her own.

Go on your own merits and talents. I believe you thought you would win as Loretta Lynn's granddaughter.
