However, one of the trio issued some “harsh” critique by judge Carrie.
Jamal, 27, performed Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s hit Ain’t No Mountain High Enough from the 2000 Disney sports film and Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie gave him a standing ovation.
However, Carrie remained in her seat and slammed his stage presence and fans were not happy and demanded she was fired.
But fans absolutely adored Broadway playwright, actor and Disney composer Lin-Manuel Miranda who was mentoring the contestants.
“Lin-Manuel was an outstanding mentor,” said one viewer on Reddit.
Another exclaimed: “I absolutely love Lin-Manuel, he’s crazy talented, has the best personality and is a musical genius.. plus the dude just doesn’t age.. i would watch or listen to anything he’s on.”
“I agree that he was an excellent mentor. He not only knows music but also performance and was able to impart both to the contestants in a meaningful way.
“Getting John to change the way he sang Rainbow Connection was one great example, getting him to do it more like Kenny Loggins than Willie Nelson.
“As to him not aging? Maybe from the neck up, but he seems to have developed a bit of a paunch in the belt area. There’s nothing wrong with that; it’s just an observation,” added another.
Another viewer demanded: “They need to have him back every year and they should show mentors videos of him doing it.
“He was the best mentor of this season by far. James Taylor and Fantasia did pretty well too, but Lin-Manuel really stood out.”
“I thought he was absolutely fantastic! Super constructive, detailed, and helpful to each contestant. I hope they have him back as a mentor every season,” agreed another.
This comes after The U.S. Sun revealed that the decision was “not unanimous” to have Carrie take the place of Katy Perry when she stepped onto the panel at the start of the season.
According to a production insider, Carrie was “not the network’s first pick to be a judge this season.”
“They spoke with a handful of other A-list artists in pop and country before landing on Carrie.
“It was not a unanimous decision,” the insider added.
Not only this, The U.S. Sun also revealed that the American Idol crew thinks Carrie’s “influence” is “ruining” the show’s legacy.
