How Many Episodes Are Left In American Idol Season 21? Every Remaining Episode Release Date
The finale of the singing competition is coming up.
For almost three months, viewers have been following the journey of 29 American Idol contestants. Some were quickly eliminated, some made an unforgettable impression, and some managed to reach the Top 5. Now the show's finale is just around the corner, with only three episodes left to air.
Here's everything you need to know about the remaining episodes of American Idol Season 21.
In the latest episode, which aired on May 7, the Top 8 contestants performed songs by Alanis Morissette and Ed Sheeran in front of these popular singers, who were guest judges in the absence of the usual Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. As a result, three contestants were eliminated, leaving Colin Stough, Iam Tongi, Megan Danielle, Wé Ani, and Zachariah Smith one step closer to taking home the trophy. In fact, the future winner has only two fights left.
Here is the schedule for the remaining episodes on ABC:
- Disney Night – Sunday, May 14
- Journey to the Finale – Monday, May 15
- Season Finale – Sunday, May 21
'Disney Night' is an annual fan-favorite round of American Idol, featuring the Top 5 contestants performing classic Disney songs. The episode is sure to be full of pleasant surprises, including a performance by The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey and intrigue over what costume Katy Perry will choose this year — throughout the seasons, the iconic singer has donned various Disney outfits to the delight of the show's fans.
At the end of the episode, two contestants will be eliminated, and the three finalists will be chosen.
'Journey to the Finale' will be a filler episode featuring previously unseen clips from Season 21. The episode will focus on the finalists and their journey from auditions to the semi-finals.
The two-hour finale is set to air on May 21 and will see all 26 contestants return to the stage to perform alongside a number of celebrity idols. Of course, the highlight of the episode is the final battle between the Top 3 and the announcement of the Season 21 winner.
