Some American Idol contestants will have to wait for the return to live shows to know their fate.
After the episode, the polls opened for America to decide which singer will take the final spot when the show goes live.
Some of the youngest contestants on “Idol” found themselves in the top 20 by giving standout performances. Cyniah Elise, 18, who sang “Lady Marmalade” by Labelle, and Makayla Phillips, 17, who sang “Sorry Not Sorry” by Demi Lovato, were the divas of the show. Each brought star power and stage presence to her performance.Not to be outdone, Olivia Ximines, 17, was a double threat in her performance of “Proud Mary” by Tina Turner.
“We’ve been mumbling behind the scenes as to who might be there and who’s going to go here, and then we cross our fingers to see if that person is going to live up to who we think they are,”Also not failing the judges’ expectations was 20-year-old Sophia Wackerman, who brought an infectious energy to the stage with a cover of “Levels” by Nick Jonas. But, that didn’t stop the judges from having a little fun at her expense.
For 21-year-old Genavieve Linkowski, the second time was not the charm. Linkowski, who previously was on “Idol,” survived Hollywood Week, but her performance of “You Say” by Lauren Daigle didn’t connect with the judges.
