Carrie Underwood Jamal Roberts criticism is causing major waves following her unexpected comments during Monday night’s Disney-themed American Idol episode. Many fans are accusing the country star of unfair treatment — and even attempting to undermine the show’s last remaining Black contestant.
Carrie Underwood Jamal Roberts criticism triggers fan uproar
After Jamal Roberts delivered a powerful rendition of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, earning a roaring standing ovation from Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood offered an unusually harsh critique:
“I feel like you missed such an opportunity to move around and entertain… We are getting close to the end here, it is time to pull out all the stops.”
While the crowd and fellow judges were full of praise for Roberts, celebrating his soulful take on the Remember the Titans anthem, Carrie’s words — and her decision not to stand — stood out sharply, leaving many viewers stunned.
Carrie Underwood Jamal Roberts criticism raises bias concerns
Social media lit up with passionate reactions:
- Double Standard Debate: Some fans noted Carrie hadn’t offered the same feedback to other performers who stayed in one place. “She’s coming for Jamal for standing still when others barely move? Make it make sense,” tweeted @lakenbriannaxo.
- Accusations of Bias: Others felt her remarks reflected a pattern. “She’s clearly not a fan of soulful singers,” wrote @LadyKaija. Another added, “Carrie acts like country is the only genre that matters.”
- Defense of Roberts: Supporters rallied behind the contestant. “Flat-footed singing is powerful too — he doesn’t need to do flips!” tweeted @ButtaKupJ. “This man is sanging! Give him his flowers.”
Roberts didn’t let the criticism slow him down. Later in the show, he performed a heartfelt version of “Beauty and the Beast”, moving the audience and earning praise once again — while Carrie remained notably reserved.
Luke Bryan, however, made it clear where he stood, exclaiming:
“Let’s win this thing, baby! Let’s win this thing!”
Despite the Carrie Underwood Jamal Roberts criticism, Roberts has now made it to the Season 23 finale and remains a strong contender for the title.
