Carrie Underwood got emotional when revealing the fate of the final Top 14 singer, which resulted in beloved nepo baby going home.

The 42-year-old singer – who reportedly ‘pushed’ for Sunday night’s three-hour faith-based Easter special – insisted several times that the remaining seven singers – six of which were about to go home – were all ‘great.’

She ultimately revealed that Amanda Barise was the last member of the Top 14, which host Ryan Seacrest had been slowly unveiling throughout the two-hour episode.

After four singers went home on Sunday, six more hit the road, including Season 23’s final nepo baby, Baylee Littrell, the son of Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell.

The 22-year-old singer was sent home along with Isaiah Misailegalu, Olivier Bergeron, Drew Ryn, Zaylie Windsor and Victor Solomon.

Fans has mixed thoughts about Baylee’s exit, with some sad to see him go and others thinking he wasn’t talented enough to move on.

The two-hour episode was ultimately comprised of host Ryan Seacrest pulling out singers one by one, and revealing whether or not they were voted into the Top 14.

If they did have enough votes to advance, they sang just to celebrate their advancement, but if they didn’t advance, they sang for one more shot.

There were four spots that the judges would collectively choose to round out the Top 14 after all of the performances.

Baylee did not get enough votes, so he sang All Of Me by John Legend in hopes of impressing the judges enough to give him one of their picks.

After the performance, Carrie Underwood was certainly impressed, even going so far as to say it was Littrell’s best performance this season.

‘Baylee, I feel like every time you get on the stage, you give us more. I feel like this was your best performance today,’ Carrie said to applause.

‘I don’t know if it’s, like, just confidence or song choice or what that thing is, but keep doing more of this. Like, all of the stars are kind of aligning right now, and I feel like this was really the first time that I was like, he’s a front man, like, he needs it, he deserves to be on this stage,’ Carrie said to applause.

Still, Baylee seemingly didn’t do enough to move on, which upset some fans while others weren’t too sad to see him go, it seemed.

Some like Emily Carl (@Free_Reign) were done watching Idol, stating, ‘With Baylee no longer on the show, my time watching @AmericanIdol has come to an end.’

Ms Jen (@Missjen325) added, ‘Guess that’s it for me watching idol since my favorite didn’t get it #AmericanIdol,’ referring to Baylee.

Shannon Stern (@ShannonStern) said, ‘Bummed @littrell_baylee and #OlivierBergeron didn’t make the Top 14 on @AmericanIdol, but I know they both have long careers ahead!’

Others like @lilacpeeps called out Backstreet boys fans who voted for Baylee, stating, ‘If you voted for Baylee just bc you’re a BSB fan then that’s called bias voting. I’ve been a BSB fan since I was a teen, but Baylee has not wowed me at all. Mky has more stage confidence than Baylee & Baylee has been on stage w his dad ever since he was a kid.’

The 4th Wall Insider (@4thwallinsider) said, ‘Send home Zaylie, Baylee, Josh, Olivier,’ all of whom were sent home except Josh King.

Rach (@superbatson) said, ‘i really hope the judges don’t save baylee, like we are so close to finally defeating the nepotism here…. #americanidol.’

Daisy (@DaisyLou2320) said, ‘#americanidol Baylee is forced. Not naturally talented enough.’
