Maddie Poppe And Caleb Lee Hutchinson 'Islands In The Stream' American Idol Duet

American Idol alums Maddie Poppe and Caleb Lee Hutchinson perform ‘Islands In The Stream’ for a special 20th anniversary episode of American Idol. 

This classic country tune became a smash hit for artists Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers back in 1983. The song quickly reached number one on the Billboard charts and has been called one of the best duets of all time.

Decades later, this song continues to resonate with hearts around the world for the upbeat tune and lovely lyrics.

“You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on”

Maddie and Caleb pair met while competing on American Idol in 2018. Maddie ended up winning the competition with Caleb coming in as the runner up. Since that time, the two have developed a romantic relationship and they still enjoy singing together.

Today, they’re back on the American Idol stage for an incredible duet of ‘Islands In The Stream.’ 

“Islands in the stream that is what we are
No one in between, how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha, From one lover to another, ah ha”

As you listen to this performance, you’ll truly be swept back in time. These two truly have a way of channeling the great country legends of Dolly and Kenny and it’s clear to see that they are very much in love. 

What a perfect duet for this young couple!

Christlike welcome of others is what Scripture calls us to do, not because we must as a checklist obligation, but because doing so reflects the heart of our Savior who lovingly bids us to come to Him despite our brokenness and sin.
