American Idol Betting Odds Favor Country Crooner Colt Glover for the Win
One of the most iconic singing competition shows of today, American Idol has been on and off the screen since 2002, initially aired on Fox and subsequently on ABC.
Currently in its 21st season, the show has already had several auditions, and it seems like there might be a potential winner found — according to some fans on Reddit.
Colt Glover is a 21-year-old country singer from Magnolia, Texas.
The young artist has recently appeared on the show, impressing the judges with his rendition of Flatt and Scruggs' "Rock Salt and Nails" — and Katy Perry even called him "the best country singer" they have seen so far.
Shortly after this amazing performance, fans on the internet started to make predictions, arguing that this year's American Idol will have yet another country winner — and Colt Glover may well be the one.
"Once he feels a little more comfortable and can relax, he's going to find his groove and blow not only our minds, he's going to blow his own! My bet is him being in the top 5!" wrote YouTuber Angela Carlton.
But while some think Colt Glover will be the winner, others bet against the performer, saying that he won't even pass to the lives. There are those who say that Colt is no different from the other country contestants this year and that these artists are easily interchangeable — which, however, does not mean that one of those country singers can't win the show again. Indeed, with a country winner in 2022, American Idol 2023 has been so far flooded with singers of this genre.
"They just need to rename the show to Country Idol," Redditor EdSpecialist21 commented sarcastically.
No matter who will win American Idol this year, Colt Glover seems to have gotten lots of praise and support from the audience. He might not be everyone's favorite, but the musician clearly has a great potential, and even if he won't make it to this season's finale, Glover will likely find success on the stage.
