“American Idol” Season 21 Top 3 Results
It’s down to the wire on “American Idol,” as the Top 5 contestants of Season 21 — Zachariah Smith, Megan Danielle, Iam Tongi, Wé Ani, and Colin Stough — compete on May 14, 2023, with hopes of advancing to the Top 3. The final trio of singers, named at the end of tonight’s live voting, will get to go on hometown visits and perform next week during a star-studded season finale with hopes of being named the winner.
The five remaining contestants have spent the week visiting Disneyland with their families and working with guest mentor Sofia Carson to prepare for the annual Disney Week episode, during which they’re all singing their favorite Disney classics. Fans must vote during the two-hour live show, which kicked off at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Each fan can cast up to 30 votes total for their favorite contestant — online, on the “American Idol” app, and/or via text.
Spoiler alert: If you do not want to know what happened on the show or the voting results, do not read any further. If you do, keep checking back for LIVE for Heavy’s updates!
ABC“American Idol” judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan join Mickey Mouse at Disneyland
The Disney episode of “American Idol” opened with Ryan Seacrest granting the judges one “wish” — to open the show dressed in a funny array of Disney garb — and pop singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles performing the 1939 classic “When You Wish Upon a Star,” joined mid-song by all five remaining contestants.
Seacrest then introduced the judges, with Perry dressed up in a Disney costume for the sixth season in a row. Her 2023 skin-tight outfit is of Elastigirl from “The Incredibles,” which she said she’d chosen in honor of “all the mothers out there” on Mother’s Day.
