Aloha from the Top 21! - S18 E11 'American Idol' Recap & Review

The American Idol AfterBuzz TV After Show records every single week in both video and podcast form giving insights and opinions on the contestants of each season’s Competition. Join the conversation and subscribe to stay up to date on the current episode of American Idol!

Tonight was our second and final Hawaiian episode, where we whittled down contestants to our top 21! In an unprecedented twist, one extra contestant made it through, but the judges are leaving the decision of which additional contestant goes home to the fans. Viewers can vote for one of the final two country artists that made it through tonight to remain for a spot in the Top 20. The artist that is not voted through will not continue to the live episodes.

We saw many more fan favorites go home tonight, as song choice, nerves, and not heeding the judges’ advice seemed to be issues.
