The description of the episode reads: “Never-before-seen footage; a deeper look at the journeys from hometown to Hollywood.”

Some fans are shocked by the top 3 moving forward to the finale
Colin Stough, Iam Tongi, and Megan Danielle found themselves in the American Idol 2023 top three, and some fans are stunned by the results. While Iam Tongi and Megan Danielle were frontrunners from the beginning of the season, Colin seems like the dark horse to win. Many fans on Reddit feel like contestant Wé Ani was robbed.
“Wé got robbed … Colin is marketable,” a fan on Reddit wrote. “He will no doubt make a few albums, but come on. No way he should be top 3.”
“Colin is fine. Never blows me away. I thought the top 3 should’ve been Iam, Wé, and Zachariah,” another fan noted.
“Wé had a shot to win. Colin does not,” another fan wrote. “Just a reminder that it’s mostly a popularity contest. Talent can get you onto the live shows, but sticking around is about a lot more than talent. Some of it is out of the control of the contestants.”
Fans can tune in live to vote during the American Idol 2023 finale airing on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET.
American Idol Season 21 airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
