Is there no song Abi Carter can’t sing? Not only sing, but make entirely her own? The 21-year-old from Indio, California was an early frontrunner during season 22 of American Idol. However, her Top 8 performance of the 2003 Evanescence hit “Bring Me to Life” solidified her icon status for many viewers. During the May 19 finale, only Carter seemed shocked to learn viewers had crowned her the season 22 winner over Will Moseley. Recently, the indie-pop artist decided to take on yet another Evanescence tune. Naturally, she nailed it.
