When are the ‘American Idol’ top 12 announced?
Fans won’t have to wait long to learn who moves on from the American Idol 2023 top 20 contestants to the top 12. According to American Idol 2023 spoilers, the top 12 announcement comes on Monday, April 24, 2023, in a two-hour episode starting at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Ten singers will advance via America’s votes on April 24, 2023, and the judges will choose two “wildcards” to move forward. The following Sunday, April 30, 2023, is Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night, where the top 12 perform and the top 10 will be revealed. According to Mjsbigblog, Adam Lambert will also mentor the top 10 contestants.
By Sunday, May 7, 2023, fans will see the top seven contestants perform, and ABC reveals the top five contestants.
Nutsa and Iam Tongi lead the way in Facebook views ahead of the top 12
According to Reddit, Nutsa and Iam Tongi lead the way in terms of the top views on Facebook after the American Idol 2023 top 20 performances. By 5 a.m. ET on April 24, 2023, Nutsa had 291,000 views on her performance, and Iam had 212,000. Given this information, it seems likely both Nutsa and Iam will move forward into the top 12.
Some fans find Nutsa impressive, but others have had enough of the singer and hope she heads home. Colin Stough and Mariah Faith have also divided fans. Many viewers don’t believe they should make the top 12.
“Oh please let this season be different and just have Colin and Mariah be eliminated before the top 12,” a fan on Reddit wrote.
American Idol Season 21 airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
