American Idol 2023: Who made the Top 10 and who went home?

*Click here to see who from the Top 10 made it into the Top 7 (surprise, it’s actually the Top 8!)*

Last week’s American Idol was certainly brutal as we said goodbye to a total of 14 contestants across two nights. First, the Top 26 became the Top 20, followed by the Top 20 becoming the Top 12. In tonight’s episode, we said goodbye to two more contestants as this season’s Top 10 are chosen.

But before that, season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert has made a return to the show to mentor the Top 12 as they prepare to take the Hollywood stage once again. He was of course the perfect choice as tonight’s episode, appropriately called “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night” followed that very genre. And who better than Lambert himself to offer some advice in rock and roll!?

Last week, 10 hopefuls made it through based on our votes at home, while the judges chose the other two, Lucy Love and Nutsa, saving them from the Danger Zone and rounding out the Top 12. Tonight, the Top 12 performed, and we had to vote during the two-hour episode to decide who got into the Top 10. Who is continuing on in the competition? Check out the full list (and photo!) below!

Who went home on American Idol? (Who didn’t make it into the Top 10?)

Lucy Love, 28 from Arkansas
Nutsa, 25 from the Republic of Georgia

It was a tough couple of weeks for contestants Lucy Love and Nutsa. Last week, the two were in the Danger Zone of possibly going home but were saved by the judges. Unfortunately in tonight’s episode, there was no option to do that as it was completely up to votes at home who made it through. Both Lucy and Nutsa’s Idol journeys have now come to an end.

UPDATE 5/1/23 – The show surprised us yet again and instead of the Top 7, one contestant was saved from elimination. That was Oliver Steele. So going into next week, we actually have the Top 8!

Tomorrow night, Monday, May 1, 2023, there will be a new episode of American Idol on ABC. “Judge’s Song Contest” will see judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan offer songs they think would be a good fit for the remaining contestants, and the Top 10 will choose which tune to sing for their shot into making into the Top 7. Those results will be revealed tomorrow evening starting at 8 p.m. ET.

American Idol airs new episodes Sunday and Monday nights on ABC.
