Anything is possible for the remaining contestants on American Idol. Season 3 is down to the Top 24, but a major cutdown is coming.
As always, the finalists for ABC’s singing reality show come from across America and beyond. There’s a Canadian and a man from the U.K. among this group of American Idol finalists. You’ll also find several singers who appeared on another American reality TV show.
At least two finalists from recent seasons of The Voice made it to the Top 24. They’re surely hoping that if you voted for them once, you’ll be there to show support once again, but first they need to impress judges.
Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan have maintained the supportive approach that’s defined this show since its move to ABC several years ago. Still, Bryan and Richie have proven they’ll be honest when a singer just doesn’t have it.
