One of seven children, Abi revealed she comes from a religious family. She then sat at the piano and put her own spin on “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish. Her angelic voice and emotional delivery had the judges on the edge of their seats. Following a standing ovation, Lionel said, “We don’t have to vote.” Katy exclaimed, “What were you made for? You were made for this!” Finally Luke commented, “That may be the winner of ‘American Idol.'” One week later as Abi performed in Palm Springs, the judges surprised her by upgrading Abi’s golden ticket to PLATINUM, meaning she’ll skip the first round at Hollywood Week. Do you think Abi has what it takes to become the next American Idol?

The “American Idol” auditions continue Sunday, March 3 on ABC (8/7c).
