The Top 3 Best Singers of 2026 | American Idol

I'll be the last one standing. Two hands in the air. Lifting me when it's over. I live for the battle. I'm a soldier. Yeah. A fighter like Rocky, put your flag on my back like Ali. Baby, I'm stronger. Pay my dues, can't lose. I'm on. I want you. Where you can stay. You can be sure. One's gotta take the lead tonight. Oh, it's gonna be. I'm gonna sit right here and tell you all. You just ain't right. Some people leave. Fortune. Just for the faith. Some people live for. Some people live just to play the game. People think that the physical things define. There before. Of the superficial, but some. Left behind. Those city streets for a small town boy in his grandma's ring. White picket fence in a front porch swing. A hand-me-down couch and a newfound dream. I wasn't born. But I brought 'em with me and plan to lay 'em down down at Bronston. They're spinning. But it's the best cherry. Feels so good to make it this far. Feels so good to make it this far. Days I wanted to quit. I said, surely things. But I held on. It wouldn't suit me very good, but my hours are extended. That's just motherhood. I never knew this is what. My twenties would look like, but they saved me. For I had the chance to waste my life. With a hot, fresh cup of joe. Wishing that someone would just drop. I thought finding peace in the quiet was. To go back to being. I smile because I know meeting their needs fills my soul. Your sense of wonder. Take one single breath for. Take one single breath for. Taking chances, but there. And give the heavens above more than just a passing glance. City. Mercy's never fair. And all my days, I've been held. Of the goodness of God, come on! Can we worship in here? Locked out, cold world, sweat on my eyebrow. Why now? Why me? Why we? Always find a way to stir up my inner peace. Like ground used to be under my feet, but now. I gotta get my baby to eat somehow. All of these days turn into weeks. I see my life change every time that I look. The weight off of my heart. Put me back together when the world tears me apart. I remember you got me in the middle of your hands, and I know. Put me back together when the world tears me apart. I remember you got me in the middle of your hands, and I know. 'Cause I tend to dream real big sometimes. The fancy outfit and his sparkly award. Name of the last people I met at the door, but I gotta remember to take it one step at a time. Reach the top. The rope stretching up to the sky, with all of my dreams at the very top, so high. I get so caught up in everything around me, moving quickly, I forget to check for every single moment I receive. I forget about the climb. I just wanna get there. Don't wanna wait. That I'm called to use patience on this journey that I'm on. I know that I'll come out alive, and it'll only make me strong. Everybody's focused on the high. So take care. Would you take me? Yes, I would. Yes, I would.
