Guilford Native Nick Fradiani May Make the Top 24 Thursday on American Idol Season 15

Update: Nick Fradiani wasn’t featured on Wednesday’s Idol broadcast and we will learn his fate on Thursday’s American Idol broadcast.

It’s no secret that Guilford native and Milford band member Nick Fradiani continues to wow the judges on American Idol.

And by the end of Thursday night we’ll know if Nick has made it to the final 24 contestants. And we might have the answer by the end of tonight Nick writes on social media! So if you’re one of Nick’s new fans, plan to tune into American Idol tonight.

This is from Nick himself via his Facebook page:

“Tonight is the night. Final Judgement on American Idol starting at 8:00. I could be shown tonight OR tomorrow night. So if I’m not shown tonight, I’ll definitely be on tomorrow. Check it out to see if I can make it the Top 24!”

“American Idol is back … with the Top 48 Contestants performing at the legendary House of Blues. I hope you guys like my performance, and let’s see if I can make the next cut! Keep spreading the word! You have all been amazing so far. ‪#‎americanidol‬ ‪#‎nickfradiani‬‪#‎houseofblues‬ ‪#‎teamfradiani‬ ‪#‎top48‬”

And last week he wrote, “Not sure where to begin, but the amount of support from all of you has been overwhelming and so appreciated. I am blown away, and truly blessed to have so many people who care about my career in music. I owe everything to you guys. Playing music is what I love to do, so thank you for making this a reality.

Nick has many fans for sure.

Here is a sampling from Facebook:

Bob Massimino cant wait to see you nick u can do it

Melanie Mache I was at Bishop’s (they support you) the other day and thought of you....I know you’re going to make it!

Elizabeth Laura When I saw your American idol audition I knew you look familiar and couldnt place it until today when I jamming to Beach Avenue and it dawned on me....Thank you for your talents....and good luck!!!

Last week Nick received lavish praise for his performance of David Gray’s “Babylon” from celebrity judges Harry Connick Jr. and Jennifer Lopez.

“It’s clear how experienced you are, especially in comparison to some of the young ones,” Connick said according to Fox CT.

Jennifer Lopez added, “I just like you.”

Check out Nick’s performance from Thursday’s Idol show below, which has been viewed more than 20,000 times already.

This isn’t Fradiani’s first time at the reality TV rodeo. He auditioned for America’s Got Talent last year with his Milford band, Beach Avenue, bandmates, performing original songs.

His band was eliminated at the beginning of the competition but that didn’t dampen Fradiani’s spirits — he’s back in the reality TV game again, this time going solo on American Idol.
