Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Don’t forget, Idol fans, singles from the Season 22 Top 5 drop tonight at midnight.

Everyone in the Top 5 — Emmy Russell and Triston Harper included — recorded potential winner singles in preparation for the finals.

And all five will be released tonight even though Abi Carter, Will Moseley and Jack Blocker are the only three who still have a chance of winning Idol.

We’ll likely hear some of these songs on Sunday’s three-hour grand finale.

Last year, the new originals were performed in the final round of the competition, after the third-place finisher had been eliminated.

Two years ago, they were performed in the second round of the finale, meaning Noah Thompson, Hunter Girl and Leah Marlene each got to perform their new song.

Here’s the list of songs with links for pre-saving and pre-adding.

Update: The songs are out. Except for Will, each member of the Top 5 had a hand in writing their new singles. I loved Triston’s performance of “H.O.P.E.” on the show, and it’s my favorite of the five. That said, the religious overtones of Will’s new song are sure to strike a chord.

Abi Carter, “This Isn’t Over” written by Abi Carter and Samuel Michael Shrieve

Emmy Russell, “Redemption” written by Emmy Russell, Lauren McLamb and Rob Sewell

Jack Blocker, “All of Yours (To Give All of Mine)” written by Jack Blocker

Triston Harper, “H.O.P.E.” written by Triston Harper

Will Moseley, “Good Book Bad” by Jordan Walker, Lalo Guzman, Thomas Archer
