According to American Idol 2023 spoilers from Mjsbigblog, the second night of Showstopper Week may feature several duets. The photos show several singers sitting next to each other, including Austin Markham and Dawson Wayne as well as Elise Kristine and Olivia Soli. Additional rumors suggest the second round of Showstoppers will see a trio. That trio includes Matt Wilson, Iam Tongi, and Colin Stough.

Matt wowed the judges from the beginning. “You have a purity and a believability,” Lionel Richie told the 21-year-old after the initial audition. “I just love the fact that it’s genuine. I must say, I love your presentation. The sky’s the limit, my friend.”

Iam is a high school student who impressed the judges with his version of “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” As soon as he hit his first note, Richie knew he was in.

Colin brings the country into the 2023 competition. The 18-year-old Mississippi native received three outstanding “yes” votes from the judges following his initial audition.

Matt, Iam, and Colin all have different styles, so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of trio they create.
