'American Idol': Fans wonder how 'boring and bad' Fritz Hager is getting to Top 5 round

'Can everyone stop voting for fritz on #AmericanIdol please Thank you,' wrote a fan

The tensions are running high as the competition on 'American Idol' Season 20 is getting narrower. With the Top 5 contestants getting a chance to receive one-on-one mentoring with alum Carrie Underwood, the Top 7 contenders were ready to fight tooth and nail to earn a spot in the top 5 round.

Despite being diagnosed with Covid-19, Fritz Hager refused to allow the deadly virus to dampen his spirits. Hoping to earn a spot amongst the Top 5, Fritz decided to take a bold risk and performed two of his original songs during the Top 7 round. The first song titled 'All My Friends' had the guest mentor Will.i.am completely blown away by its emotional lyrics, while the second song, a homage to his mother and grandmother' beach house- 'The Ocean' left the judges and the audience emotional. So, when it was time for the audience to pick their top 5 contestants, they all voted for Fritz.

Another fan added, "Can everyone stop voting for fritz on #AmericanIdol please Thank you."

Another fan shared, "Fritz is literally so boring and bad.. Christian should have stayed #americanidol." "And the fact that everyone else had to perform on stage and Fritz got to use his rehearsal video & Noah gets to be in a hotel..Rigged! #americanidol if they country ones win, we already know," pointed out a fan. "Are people giving Fritz extra credit for the original material because it can't be straight vocals when Jay and Christian are gone #AmericanIdol," wondered a fan.
