Thereâs something comforting about Ryan Seacrest welcoming us to
American Idol from an actual stage and not via Zoom. The Top 24 of the season performed before an in-person, yet socially distanced, audience of super fans to kick off the âAll-Star Duets and Solosâ round.Â
And of course judges Katy Perry,Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan were there to lend their critiques. However, narrowing down the field from two dozen to 16 is not up to them. Itâs up to viewersâ votes, with results from the two nights of performances â the second half airs Monday, April 5 â to be revealed during the April 11 show. Â
