American Idol 2022 revealed its Top 24 on Monday (April 4). Fifty-Nine Hollywood Week contestants performed live on stage in front of an audience and judges–Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan. The panel then eliminated for than half the contestants.
The thing is, so many singers poured their heart out on stage and viewers at home never saw their performances. Many singers were never featured on the show at all. See the full list of Showstopper contestants Here. Certainly, talented singers left the competition.
So now, it’s TIME TO VOTE IN OUR POLLS. Of those featured on the show, but didn’t make the Top 24, who do you believe was robbed? Also, choose your Top 3 favorite Top 24 contestants. Rumor has it that Kenedi Anderson dropped out of the show. But since it’s not confirmed let’s just assume for now she’s still in.
Singers who got screen time, but got cut before the Top 24 can take comfort in that Idol cut both Tori Kelly and Jimmie Allen before the Top 24.
The Top 24 will perform over two nights, viewer voting begins
Speaking of Jimmie Allen, he and Bebe Rexha mentored the Top 24 at the Disney Aulani Hotel in Hawaii. Idol separated the semifinalists into two groups of 12, split between the two mentors.
