Platinum ticket recipient Julia Gagnon scored the most popular audition on American Idol Sunday.
That’s based on YouTube views of the eight auditions the show posted.
Julia closed out the fifth and final audition episode with an impressive rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Ain’t No Way.”
The judges were so impressed, they followed Julia out of the audition room and exchanged her golden ticket for a platinum one.
That means she’ll skip Hollywood Week and advance straight to the Showcase round along with the other two platinum ticket recipients, Abi Carton and Odell Bunton.
No one else featured in Sunday’s episode came close to 1 million views. Jordan Anthony, a former finalist on The Voice Australia ranked second in views with about 414,000 as of Friday evening.
And no one in Season 22 has gone viral the way Iam Tongi did a year ago. His audition video has now been viewed 26 mllion times.
The most views on a Season 22 audition video?
Both Abi and Emmy Russell are approaching 3 million. So is McKenna Breinholt, if you combine views on the two versions of her auditions American Idol has posted.
Idol will air Hollywood Week in a single episode this season, at 8 p.m. Sunday.
The showcase round and the selection of a Top 24 will air Monday night at 8 p.m.
Next week, fan voting begins with half of the Top 24 performing Sunday night and half performing Monday night.
Idol Chatter will be blogging both shows live with song by song grades.
