American Idol 2023 (Season 21) has reached its Showstopper Round where we get our Top 26, yes 26 not the same Top 24. American Idol Season 21 began on 19th February 2023 with the premiere of Hollywood Week followed by the current Showstopper Series.
Last week, at the end of the Duet Challenge, we gathered the top 55 singers who will compete in Showstopper to get their place in American Idol 2023’s Top 24. Now in this season, according to sources, we will have Top 26 contestants and not Top 24.
It’s a battle for survival of the fittest during American Idol’s show “Showstoppers: The Final Judgment”, which is distributed in two parts. The first night is tonight with judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan choosing the first artists to enter the Top 24.
Check out all of the top 26 nominees from American Idol Season 21 below.
