The two leading contestants of American Idol Season 21 seem to shine brightest as a duo.
This season has already garnered considerable attention, and not merely because of the numerous controversies around it. The extremely gifted top eight singers have consistently impressed fans with their heartfelt performances week in and week out.
A particular highlight was last Sunday's episode, where a duet performance resonated profoundly with viewers: anyone who saw it will likely remember it for years to come. It was a case of true synergy making the two contestants sound much better together than anyone could have anticipated.
Megan Danielle and Colin Stough teamed up to deliver a country version of Ed Sheeran's Dive. Their rendition was so compelling and potent that fans were quick to rate it as far superior to the original. The energy between Danielle and Stough was unexpected yet extraordinary, elevating their performance to a whole new level and making one of the most memorable moments of Season 21.
Fans were so impressed by Megan Danielle and Colin Stough’s collaboration that they are now expressing disappointment that their rendition of Dive may only ever exist on the American Idol stage. Many want to hear it on streaming services and radio stations.
‘These two should record this together. This will be a huge hit for them both. Hearing these guys sing this definitely struck a chord!’ a fan wrote.
Ed Sheeran, who was present during the show, seemed genuinely impressed as he watched the pair perform and reimagine his song. Fans interpreted his facial expressions as clear indications of his admiration for the miracle taking place on stage before his eyes.
Although Stough delivered beautiful high notes, fans were particularly smitten with Danielle. Her voice, both refined and potent, tended to eclipse Stough's contributions.
‘I have a feeling that Megan will be in the country music hall of fame… She is so incredibly good,’ another fan noted.
Given their stellar outing as a duo, viewers might find it challenging to decide who is more deserving of the American Idol title - Stough or Danielle. Both gave masterclass performances last Sunday.
American Idol Season 21 Episode 18 will arrive on ABC on 14 May 2023.
