Every season of American Idol comes with its fair share of shockers and brutal eliminations, which is part of what makes the series so endlessly watchable. In 2024, Season 22 is down to the final three contestants, which has left many wondering who remains in the competition and who has been eliminated.
Fans of course love to root for their favorites, but they also want to be outraged when the wrong person is sent home or when someone stays longer than they probably should. Here's who is left on the show as we head into the finale.
Who is left on 'American Idol' in 2024?
The competition has been fierce all season, but we're finally down to the Top 3 for American Idol Season 22! On Disney Night, America voted and narrowed it down to the following talented singers:
- Will Moseley, 23, from Hazlehurst, Ga.
- Jack Blocker, 25, from Dallas, Texas
- Abi Carter, 21, from Indio, Calif.
'American Idol' has faced some controversy this season over who gets eliminated.
Although part of the point of American Idol is that people get mad about who gets eliminated, there has been a particularly acute controversy this season. Many of the contestants of color were sent home during the earlier rounds, leaving behind a slate of contestants that is tilted toward white people.
Of course, there's only so much that the show itself can do to control this state of affairs, in large part because it leaves who gets sent home up to viewers at home. Still, some people think that the show needs more mechanisms like the judges' save, which give the judges more say as to who gets sent home, in part because it's becoming harder to trust viewers at home to vote.
Now that we're down to just three remaining contestants, it's hard to say who could emerge victorious. Abi has been one of the frontrunners since early in the season, and her performance this week definitely suggested that she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Whether she ultimately wins or is supplanted by someone else, only time will tell.
