American Idol's Top 14 Revealed Live! Were The Right Singers Saved?
Just one day after securing its Top 20, American Idol trimmed its ranks once again, eliminating six more contestants in the first live episode of Season 23.
The show's remaining 20 singers — Canaan James Hill, Drew Ryn, Desmond Roberts, Filo, Josh King, Thunderstorm Artis, Amanda Barise, John Foster, Mattie Pruitt, Olivier Bergeron, Breanna Nix, Victor Solomon, Baylee Littrell, Isaiah Misailegalu, Gabby Samone, Slater Nalley, Zaylie Windsor, Jamal Roberts, Ché and Kolbi Jordan — returned to the stage to learn their fates during Monday's two-hour broadcast, with the lucky 14 getting to sing once again for America's votes.
Full disclosure: your not-so-friendly neighborhood Idol recapper (aka me) is on vacation this week, because it turns out there is rest for the wicked. Unfortunately, that means I won't have any of my usual grades or critiques to offer, so feel free to be extra judgmental on my behalf. Go full Simon Cowell if you have to.
So, which singers will return on Sunday (ABC, 8/7c), and which have reached the end of their journeys? Find out below, then drop a comment with your thoughts on Monday's results.
