Casey Bishop addresses 'American Idol' elimination: 'Every ending is a new beginning'
Casey Bishop fell just short of making the American Idol final.
But the 16-year-old realizes she is, well, only 16 years old in her first Instagram post since Sunday night's elimination:
"every ending is a new beginning," Bishop captioned her post. "thank you all for everything you do i’m so blessed. last night was everything i could’ve asked for and more, i had a freaking blast. finally getting to sing on stage with my favorite person @chaycebeckhammusic was just magical love you all so much, this is only THE BEGINNING."
Judge Luke Bryan has the same level of confidence in Bishop's musical future:
During the semifinal episode, the Florida native got to fulfill a dream by not only covering "wish you were gay" by her idol Billie Eilish but work with Finneas, Eilish's brother and producer extraordinaire:
Bishop also debuted her first single titled "Love Me, Leave Me" as well as Mötley Crüe's "Live Wire":
The three remaining contestants who will compete for the Season 19 crown are Chayce Beckham, Grace Kinstler and Willie Spence. The three-hour finale will begin next Sunday (May 23) at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
