ABC/Eric McCandless
Just one night after determining the Top 20, it was time to narrow down the competition yet again on American Idol.
Monday’s episode saw the remaining 20 contestants take the stage one by one as it was revealed whether or not America voted them into the Top 10. Each singing hopeful then gave a showstopping performance regardless of their status, but those who were not voted into the Top 10 had the added pressure of knowing that this performance would determine their future in the competition, as the judges would have the power to save four of them from elimination.
After deliberating, Luke, Katy, and Lionel decided to save Allegra, Jay, Mike Parker, and Tristen to round out the Top 14.
Here’s the official Top 14:
