The Judges Have Made Their Predictions on Who Will Advance to the Finals on'American Idol'
It's tough picking a favorite this year, that's for sure. Since American Idol season 4 (19th overall) kicked off in February, judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie have been in search of the most talented singer to crown as this year's winner. Now that we're a few months into the competition, only the very best have managed to survive the grueling schedule of Hollywood Week, various duet challenges and a nerve-wracking Showstopper round to get to the live shows. The judges have gotten us this far, but now it's up to viewers watching at home to vote for their favorites. See below for a full list of the contestants left in the 2021 competition and read a little bit about their respective journeys on Idol so far:
