American Idol Top 24: These are the 12 contestants performing for our votes tonight (April 8, 2024)

Last night, the first group of 12 from the American Idol Top 24 were mentored by Tori Kelly, and had their chance to perform as voting opened up for the first time this season. Well, this evening the performances continue with the final 12 contestants taking the stage after getting some advice from country singer, rapper, and songwriter Jelly Roll. While no one is being eliminated, these performances will help us viewers determine who we want to see move on to the Top 20 next week.

The remaining dozen of Idol hopefuls will be singing their hearts out tonight, April 8, 2024 starting at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. The two-hour episode takes place in Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa in Ko Olina Hawai’i. Jelly Roll also performs himself, and sits on the judges' panel alongside Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie, per a press release. So who are the 12 contestants putting on a performance this evening? We shared them below!
