AMERICAN Idol fans have been in an uproar over the possibility of the next Idol winner being another country singer.
American Idol‘s social media manager recently promoted the potential winner for Sunday night on their official Instagram account, and fans are bothered by it.

A snap of Idol contestant Colin Stough posing in a laidback manner on the Idol show set was shared on the reality singing show’s page on Friday.
He sported a short-sleeve red plaid button-down shirt and had his blonde hair pulled back with a backward trucker hat.
Colin looked like a regular Southerner, representing well for his hometown Amory, Mississippi.
Noting this, Idol’s caption read: “This country boy made it all the way to the #GrandFinale of IDOL!
“Drop a [horse emoji] if you want @colinstough to giddy up to the big win on Sunday!”
Instead of dropping horse emojis, many fans explained the reasons Colin shouldn’t become the next Idol.
One fan ranted: “Well, the kid does has talent, but he certainly has not been the most talented vocally.
“But, just like The Voice, it seems like a lot of country fans are voting which perpetuates the ‘country kids’ winning.
“I wish that the judges had some say in the ‘total talent’ vote rather than a country popularity contest.
“These shows are losing fans over the results, unfortunately.”
Another added: “Nope. I don’t think he should win. If we’re going based off talent and entertainment alone which is what this show used to be about.. then no.
“Otherwise sure he will win because every single year this happens.”
A third person cosigned: “Ugh I hope not but I have a feeling he’s going to! Another country guy winning it.”
A fourth reiterated: “If he wins, Idol is officially ruined.
“That would be 3 male country singers winning in a row who were NOT the best singers of their season.”
A fifth person slammed: “Drop a [crying emoji] if Idol has become a joke of a show.”
COLIN’S COMPETITION
Though Colin could win, he has some strong competition that fans actually favor quite more.
Ryan visited Live! with Kelly and Mark on Thursday, and while he was there, an American Idol fan cut him off mid-sentence when he talked about the future winning contestant.
The mini-reunion between Kelly Ripa, 52, and her ex co-host Ryan, 48, was heartwarming and eye-opening.
Before the interview about the 21st Idol season began, Ryan revealed that Kelly’s husband slash co-host Mark Consuelos, 52, only allows eating in the living room when Idol is airing.
“We’re [Kelly, Mark, and their three kids] allowed to eat in the living room if American Idol is on ’cause that’s where the TV is,” the former soap opera actress cosigned.
“So we’re allowed to take our plates in the living room.”
Pivoting the conversation back on topic, Kelly asked Ryan of the three contestants who are competing in the show’s season finale for the Idol title which one he liked best.
Megan Danielle, Colin Stough, and Iam Tongi are the last three standing in the singing competition.
Ryan didn’t choose a personal favorite, replying that “one of those three are gonna win it,” instead of taking a side.
While Ryan didn’t make a choice, a fan in the morning show audience did.
When Ryan was in mid-response an Idol supporter screamed the name, “Iam!”
Seemingly making a mental note, Ryan asked the fan “you like Iam?”
Producers didn’t capture the crow member’s reaction; however, they did show a montage clip of Iam and the other final candidates performing on the Idol stage throughout the competition.
SHAKE IT UP!
In addition to not wanting Colin to take the victory, some fans are also demanding that showrunners alter the show itself.
Supporters declared that the long-running show needs a major upgrade.
The official Idol Instagram account shared a message that promoted the show’s return for a 22nd season on the platform on Tuesday.
“American Idol is coming back for another season,” the image text read.
The post’s caption encouraged fans to “sing along” with the contestants for “another season.”
An innumerable amount of followers, however, flocked to the comment section to demand ABC executives make changes to the show for the upcoming season.
Single-night eliminations were the main thing fans repeatedly suggested.
One person raged: “Cool. Go back to single elimination nights, and allow both coasts to watch and vote before elimination the following night.
“You’ve taken on the worst aspects of The Voice (multiple eliminations and host skits), despite having incredible talent.
“You had at least 10 stars this season, but they were rushed off the stage. Give them all more time to show us who they are.”
Another added in a reply: “… All of this, plus allow the singers who are eliminated to have their one last ‘swan song.’
“The show used to do this, rather than have them rushed off the stage unless they’re chosen to sing for a judges save.”
A slew of other fans insisted that the show bring in new judges to replace the current ones: Katy Perry, 38, Lionel Richie, 73, and Luke Bryan, 46.
“New judges please,” one fan demanded.
Seconding the commenter, one person added: “Of course, I just thought it was so refreshing to have Alanis [Morissette] and Ed [Sheeran] on last week.
“I just feel like the 3 we have now have said all they are going to say… gets repetitive.”
Another advocated: “Make Alanis a permanent judge. She radiates joy and gives honest sensible feedback.”
“They never say anything critical like Simon. Always so positive it’s not its not realistic,” another said, referring to legendary harsh judge Simon Cowell.
