Who’s Left on ‘American Idol’? Season 23 Top 12 Contestants
Anything is possible for the remaining contestants on American Idol. Season 3 is down to the Top 12 after two singers were sent home on Sunday (April 27).
As always, the finalists for ABC's singing reality show come from across America and beyond. There's a Canadian and a man from the U.K. among this group of American Idol finalists. You'll also find several singers who appeared on another American reality TV show.
At least two contestants from recent seasons of The Voice made it to the Top 24. They're surely hoping that if you voted for them once, you'll be there to show support once again, but first they need to impress judges.
- Sunday night's theme for American Idol was Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
- Two contestants who won a judge's save last week were sent home.
- On Monday (April 28), the Top 12 will perform songs from seasons past.
Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan have maintained the supportive approach that has defined this show since its move to ABC several years ago. Still, Bryan and Richie have proven they'll be honest when a singer just doesn't have it.
Who Went Home on American Idol?

Here's who went home:
Amanda Barise (27, from Manhattan)
Desmond Roberts (26, from Orange County)
