Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Four more talented singers headed home Sunday and Monday on American Idol.

All four — Thunderstorm Artis, Gabby Samone, Slater Nalley and Mattie Pruitt — are telling fans new and old alike to stay tuned for more.

Besides, fans are likely to see them back on the Idol stage in the season finale Sunday.

Idol usually pairs up all the top finishers from the season with a guest star for a special duet during that three-hour show.

Thunderstorm’s elimination Monday nigth might have been the most surprising. Five years ago, the 29-year-old made the finals on The Voice, finishing third.

Fans who want to continue to support him need only go to a streaming site and listen to his music. He’s already released lots, including songs he performed on Idol like “Don’t Let Me Let You Go” and “Out of the Blue.”

“Being on American idol was a dream come true!” Thunderstorm wrote on social media after his elimination. “I encourage anyone who has been dreaming of being on that stage to give it a shot. It’s life changing! Definitely a lot of work but worth it if you ask me.

“I’m looking forward to showing my support to the remaining three. And forever grateful to be apart of the @americanidol family. Big things coming yall.”

Gabby, 22, from Baltimore, saw her Idol run end in Sunday’s Top 7 show. She’s the other freshly eliminated contesstant with music already out — including 2024 singles “Better” and “21 1/2.”

“Thank you all so much for the love and support!!!” she wrote after her elimination. “I am soo grateful to have made it this far!

“I love you all! Please continue to support my friends On their journey! This was an amazing experience!! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!!”

Mattie, who just turned 16, was the youngest singer to make this year’s Top 24. Like Gabby, she was eliminated at the end of Sunday night’s show.

“Tonight was the end of my American Idol journey, but it’s just the beginning of everything else,” she wrote.

“I’ve learned so much, grown so much, and made memories I’ll carry with me forever. Thank you to everyone who voted, supported, encouraged, and believed in me —- I wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

This chapter might be closing, but the music doesn’t stop here. I’m just getting started.”

That also seems to be the mantra of Slater. The 17-year-old from the Atlanta area has released music yet, but performed a pair of impressive originals — “Traces of You” and “Foolish Pride” — during his time on the show.

He posted a video message for fans, assuring them he’s not bummed but excited about what’s next — including a chance to begin releasing his music.

You can check out that message below.
