American Idol: Paige Anne belts out Adele song Easy On Me during sing off with Megan Danielle as 11 singers advance to Top 24

Paige Anne belted out the Adele song Easy On Me during a  sing off with Megan Danielle on Sunday’s episode of American Idol on ABC.

The 16-year-old singer from Idaho Falls, Idaho, was paired with Megan, 16, of Douglasville, Georgia, during part one of Showstopper and Final Judgment as the field started to narrow into the Top 24 after a star-studded Hollywood Week.

Paige wasn’t feeling completely healthy so she performed her Showstopper from her hotel room with judges Katy PerryLionel Richie and Luke Bryan watching on a tablet.

She sang California Dreamin’ made famous by The Mamas & The Papas and showed her range despite the limitations.

‘Was it my best work? No. But did I give my everything into it? Yes,’ Paige said afterward while awaiting her fate during the Final Judgment portion of the season 21 show.

The judges were impressed by her Showstopper and immediately praised Paige Anne for her performance.

‘That was the best in-room performance I think we’ve ever seen,’ Katy, 38, told Paige remotely.

Megan for her Showstopper sang Always Remember Us This Way by Lady Gaga from the 2018 film A Star Is Born.

The judges brought in Paige and Megan for the Final Judgment and revealed they were going to be in an Adele sing-off in which they had to perform an agreed upon song by the Grammy-winning singer.

‘The judges gave us a sing-off challenge, and I kind of hate it a little bit,’ Paige admitted in a confessional.

Megan meanwhile admitted that she froze up a bit during her Showstopper and had been beating up herself since.

Paige went first during the sing off with no reverb and no microphone and gained the admiration of the judges and Megan with her gorgeous tone and soaring vocals.

Katy stood up and gave her a brief standing ovation.
