American Idol 2025 contestants: It was a powerful night of performances on American Idol Season 23 as the Top 10 took the stage on Sunday, May 4, to compete for a spot in the Top 8. Themed ¡°Ladies¡¯ Night,¡± the live episode featured contestants singing songs made famous by iconic women in music, with a special guest appearance from country star Miranda Lambert.
Fans across the United States had the power to decide who would stay and who would go, with live voting taking place during the show.?Only eight contestants moved on to compete in Monday night¡¯s (May 5) Judge¡¯s Song Contest, where the Top 7 will be revealed, making every performance count.
After an exciting round of performances and live voting, the following singers advanced to the Top 8:
John Foster
Jamal Roberts
Mattie Pruitt
Breanna Nix
Thunderstorm Artis
Slater Nalley
Gabby Samone
Josh King
Each of these contestants impressed both the judges and viewers at home, earning enough votes to continue their journey toward becoming the next American Idol.
Unfortunately, the night came to an end for two contestants:
Canaan James Hill
Kolbi Jordan
Both singers delivered heartfelt performances but ultimately did not secure enough votes to move forward.
The Top 8 return to the stage on Monday night for the fan-favourite Judge¡¯s Song Contest, where each judge picks a song for the contestants to sing, without revealing who chose which one. By the end of the episode, only seven singers will remain in the competition.
As the finale draws closer, the pressure is rising, and every note counts. Although judges Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan no longer decide who moves forward, they continue to offer feedback and guidance to help viewers make their voting choices.
