Ten favorites take the stage before a physical audience for the first time and get a second chance at their Idol dream.
They lit up the stage during Mondayâs performances, bringing their A-game to convince viewers theyâre worthy of a vote. But it makes us wonder, is it fair to let past competitors back into the game, especially since theyâve already made it as finalists in the past?

American Idolâs last season was disrupted due to COVID-19. The unprecedented situation definitely jostled the normal order of things, leaving finalists to produce TV-level performances from the comfort of home by themselves.
