‘American Idol 2021 Top 5 Live Recap
The show started with long-time host Ryan Seacrest introducing “American Idol” and the three judges, wishing Katy Perry a Happy Mother’s Day. Chris Martin, of Coldplay, mentored the contestants for the week.
Seacrest also announced that the season finale was just two weeks away, on Sunday, May 23, 2021.
The first performance of the night came from Casey Bishop, who chose to perform “Paradise” for her Coldplay song. During the mentor pre-taped portion, Casey said that she was feeling anxious before her performances and hoped to work on her stage presence, and that was obvious in the first part of her performance, though she later got more into the song.
The judges told Casey that when she finally let loose, they loved the performance, and Katy Perry told her she needed “more tornado,” while Luke Bryan said he had never heard Casey hit a bad note.
Chayce Beckham was up next, who chose to sing “Magic.” Chris Martin said in the pre-taped portion that he loved Chayce’s voice so much that he forgot to mentor him. His only piece of advice was to “let one strand of hair” hang down, but decided against it when he actually saw it in action.
The judges told Beckham that he did a great job and complimented his artistry.
Willie Spence was the next to perform, and he chose to sing “Yellow.” Chris Martin couldn’t get enough of his voice during their pre-taped portion, and the performance seemed to stack up to the hype, with Willie delivering on every note.
