We've been rooting for our local favorites, and obviously voting for them too, because 3 have made it into the Top 16 on this season of ABC's American Idol!

Congrats to our favorite showman, Boxford resident Colin Jamieson, smiled for the cameras, worked the stage and has officially won his way into American hearts.

She may well be forever known as the "one who made Luke Bryan cry" in her audition. Early fan favorite and Berklee College of Music student, Grace Kinstler, continues to wow the home crowd and soar to amazing heights with her vocal acrobatics.

Brighton resident, and Club Passim server, Beane, keeps serving up surprises, unveiling more and more layers to his art every week.

Keep voting! Let's keep our Boston talent in the competition!
