Fw: 'American Idol’ Top 24 revealed RECAP

Mary Landers All Messages By This Member #13183 From: Sharon Pohlman : American Idol’ Top 24 revealed after Jelly Roll coaches contestants through final round of Hollywood Week ? ?April 7, 2025? Last night on?,?Canaan James Hill,?Gaby Samone,?Mattie Pruitt, and?Zaylie Windsor?advanced to the?Top 24 after giving the top Showstopper performances of the season. Who will join them? Tonight, the remaining 42 contestants went head-to-head in front of judges?,?, and??in hopes of reaching the next stage of the competition — and America's vote. The two-hour episode aired Monday, April 7 (8 p.m. ET/PT) with?Ryan Seacrest?hosting. As the hopefuls prepared for battle, the judges explained that their opponent wouldn't necessarily be their demise. The performances would be a duet, and depending on how things went, both contestants could stay, both could go home, or one could advance while the other was sent packing. For a little extra support and motivation, Grammy-nominated superstar?Jelly Roll?helped coach each duo as the series' first "artist in residence." The contestants got to choose their own partners before enduring a grueling night of rehearsals. Two of the most seasoned performers set the bar for the night:?Thunderstorm Artis, a 29-year-old from Hawaii, and?Drew Ryn, a 27-year-old from Arizona, sang "The Night We Met" by?Lord Huron?and?Phoebe Bridgers. After meeting the night before, Thunderstorm and Drew decided to team up for this last round of auditions. While in rehearsals with Jelly Roll, the mentor instructed both of them, "Don't close your eyes. Both of you had your eyes closed. Find the camera. If you can't find the camera find each other." After nailing their duet, Lionel told the duo, "Thunderstorm, I love that you have a soft part of your voice and a rasp and a growl that will eat everything up in this room. Drew, you're a stylist. You gave us all the little nuances. We didn't take a breath until you stopped the song. It was that mesmerizing and I loved every minute of it." Carrie added, "It was the perfect song and the perfect voice pairing. You could not have done that any better." Luke wrapped up the critique by telling them, "We see kids who are 16 and we're like, 'Come back when you're 20. Come back when you're 22.' The reason why we're telling them to do that is to arrive at where y'all are at right now." With that, Thunderstorm and Drew snagged two spots in the Top 24.
