The 2020 American Idol winner (Just Sam) versus The Voice Winner (Todd Tilghman) is a singing face-off competition that will likely never air on TV. So, we decided to present the video playlists of both singers and see who gets the most comments in our very own singing competition. Watch the two video playlists below and let us know which singer you would pick as the overall champion between both popular singing TV shows.
American Idol 2020 Winner: Just Sam
Samantha Diaz (Just Sam), 21, from Harlem, New York, was told she’d won the American Idol public vote by host Ryan Seacrest. She heard the news while holding an iPad that was connected to a call with her grandmother (who raised Just Sam in Harlem, NY after her mother was sent to prison). Sam was adopted by her Grandmother (Elizabeth) at the age of 6 years old. Just Sam has been getting by as a Subway signer in New York City and overcame plenty of challenges to become the 2020 American Idol winner. Just Sam’s powerful renditions of Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), by the first ever Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, and her performance of Andra Day’s Rise Up earned her the final public vote and delivered the American Idol win.
Watch the playlist below for Just Sam’s American Idol performances for the 2020 season and compare her talent to Todd Tilghman (The Voice Winner) below.
