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.
The top 26 move forward to Hawaii
According to American Idol 2023 spoilers, the top 24 singers are actually the top 26. The judges allegedly add two more singers into the mix. The top 26 then head to Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii after Showstopper Week for the semifinals. While in Hawaii, each singer will belt it out on the beach for an audience, and America finally gets the chance to vote for their favorites.
The spoilers also note Iam Tongi, Colin Stough, and Matt Wilson all make it into the top 26 singers. If they sing together as a trio, fans can expect great things.
American Idol Season 21 airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
