Who is Elise Kristine?
Elise Kristine is a name you'll want to remember, folks. Elise is only 19 years old and a student at Utah Valley University, and with her killer voice and her undeniable charm, this young singer has already made quite a splash on 'American Idol' 2023. Scouted on the internet, Elise auditioned for Season 21, where she wowed the judges with her stunning vocals and infectious personality.
But that's not all – Elise has also amassed a massive following on TikTok, where she's garnered nearly 600,000 followers and more than 13 million likes. Her videos range from hilarious parodies of popular songs to jaw-dropping demonstrations of her vocal range and control. One of her most viral TikToks to date was filmed last spring when she graduated from high school. Instead of just walking across the stage and collecting her diploma, Elise decided to sing a song about it. "I was late to my own graduation because of it, but it was worth it!" she writes. The video has racked up over 15.2 million views.
Elise's talent extends beyond TikTok, too. She sang the national anthem at her school's 2021 graduation when she was just a junior, proving that she's not afraid to tackle big stages and big songs. And she's also released covers of some of the most beloved songs of all time, including 'At Last,' 'With You,' and 'Silent Night.' But what really sets Elise apart from other young singers is her ability to inject humor and levity into everything she does. One of her specialties on TikTok is rewriting the lyrics to popular songs to make them funny and relatable – like changing 'All I Want for Christmas' to "I Hate Math."
And in another one of her most popular TikToks, she mimics the sneezes of Mariah Carey, Billie Eilish, Christina Aguilera, and Ariana Grande while showcasing her impressive ability to mimic their unique vocal styles. It's no wonder that Elise has caught the attention of some big names in the music industry. Recently, she posted a video of herself singing a piece from 'Phantom of the Opera,' and received high praise from none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber himself. In short, Elise is a force to be reckoned with. With her talent, humor, and infectious personality, she's already making waves in the music world – and it's only a matter of time before she becomes a household name.

Elise Kristine on 'American Idol' 2023
Elise is the kind of person who was just born to sing. She's been belting out tunes since she was barely old enough to talk, and for her, music isn't just a passion – it's her entire life.
It wasn't even Elise's idea to audition, believe it or not. The 'American Idol' team had scouted her out on the internet and reached out to ask if she'd be interested in auditioning. And even though she hadn't planned on trying out this year, she knew she couldn't pass up the opportunity of a lifetime.
When Elise walked into the audition room, she immediately caught Katy's eye. The pop superstar referred to her as 'Mighty Mouse,' and it wasn't hard to see why. Elise may be petite, but her voice is a force to be reckoned with. For her audition, Elise chose to sing 'Natural Woman,' a song that's been covered by some of the biggest names in music. And she absolutely nailed it. Her voice was smooth and soulful, and she poured her heart and soul into every note. Katy was blown away by Elise's performance, and it was clear that she was going to give her a yes. But Elise still needed one more yes from either Lionel or Luke in order to move on to Hollywood. The tension was palpable as Lionel and Luke deliberated over Elise's audition. For Elise, singing isn't just a hobby or a career – it's a calling. And it's clear that she has the talent and the drive to make it to the top of the music world. So watch out, folks – because you haven't heard the last of Elise Kristine.
