Nicolina performs ‘Edge of Seventeen’ for AI Top 20
Nicolina performed an emotional rendition of Stevie Nicks‘ “Edge of Seventeen” in American Idol‘s Top 20 round.
Nicolina began softly accompanied by just the piano, sounding a lot like Stevie would perform the song as a piano demo. She gradually built up steam and belted out the famous chorus that we all love and sing along to: “Just like the white winged dove / Sings a song sounds like she’s singing / Ooh ooh ooh.”
Nailed it, Nicolina!

On Sunday night, Laci Kaye Booth sang Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” on American Idol’s “Hero Tributes.” Despite giving a performance that left the judges stunned, Lacy did not advance to the Top 3 after the live nationwide voting — horrors! But given the voting block likely consisted of viewers under the age of 15, it’s not surprising that teen heartthrob Laine Hardy and Kelly Clarkson-clone Madison VanDenburg ultimately took the Top 2 spots, followed by the artiste Alejandro Aranda.
American Idol picks a winner next Sunday on the season finale.
