American Idol's Abi Carter Sings With Her Mother In Extraordinary Hometown Concert Performance

Summary Abi Carter wowed the American Idol judges with her audition and has been a frontrunner since the beginning of season 22.

Abi's recent hometown concert featured a heartwarming performance with her mother Andrea, showcasing their bond on stage.

While Abi is a strong contender, fellow contestant Jack Blocker's late-season breakout moments might make him a tough competition to beat.

Abi Carter is just one episode away from finding out if she's the next American Idol winner, but during her recent hometown concert that will be featured in the upcoming finale, she got the chance to perform with her mother. Abi has been open about the struggles her family endured amid her parents' divorce. Abi, Jack Blocker and Will Moseley are the final three contestants left competing in American Idol season 22. In the most recent episode, they advanced while Triston Harper and Emmy Russell were eliminated.

Abi Carter performed with her mother Andrea Carter at her hometown concert, which will be featured during the upcoming American Idol season 22 finale.

The upcoming three-hour American Idol season 22 finale will show Abi, Jack and Will as they head back to their hometowns for some very emotional reunions. They will also get the chance to perform for a crowd in their hometown. During Abi's concert, she ended up performing with her mother Andrea Carter at one point, which was filmed by 529edwin on Instagram.

Abi sat at the piano while her mother stood next to her wearing an "Indio [loves] Abi Carter" T-shirt. Indio is their hometown in California. The mother and daughter performed "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Misérables. Abi started off the song, and when Andrea opened her mouth to sing, the crowd cheered for her, and Abi had a big smile on her face. At one point, one of them might have messed up because Abi exclaims, "Lol." When the performance ended, the rest of their family rushed onto the stage to embrace Abi and Andrea.

Abi has been one of the frontrunners since the very beginning of American Idol season 22. She made a fantastic first impression with her audition of Billie Eilish's "What Was I Made For," which earned her a platinum ticket from judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. Throughout the season, Abi has had several breakout performances, including Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" and Adele's "Hello." Those standout covers have catapulted her into the American Idol season 22 finale.

Abi's biggest competition might be Jack Blocker. At first, he was best known for being rejected by the judges at his audition, then being given a second chance when multiple American Idol crew members raised their hands to say they wanted him to be given a golden ticket to Hollywood. It wasn't until the Top 10 and Top 8 rounds at the end of April that he finally had two breakout moments with his covers of Cher's "Believe" and Willie Nelson's "Always On My Mind." Jack peaked at the perfect moment, and he's been riding that momentum ever since.

Sometimes, a singer has a late-in-the-season breakout performance and is able to use that to win the entire show. If that happens again, then Jack will win. However, if it ends up being a long-running frontrunner who's crowned the winner, then the title will go to Abi. Both have delivered extraordinary performances at various points throughout the season. Regardless of the outcome, Abi's performance with her mother will be fantastic to see when her hometown event is shown during the finale.

The American Idol season 22 finale airs May 19 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
