American Idol 2018 Recap: Top 24 Contestants Revealed
American Idol 2018 continued its journey, closing out Hollywood Week with the solo round before sending the remaining contestants on to the Showcase, their first chance to perform in front of a full audience. From there, the 50 remaining contestants sat down, one-by-one, with judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan for their Final Judgment. It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster as several fan favorites were sent home and others made it through to the next round. Heading into the Top 24 solos next Sunday will be another level of challenge, followed by All-Star Duets on Monday with artists like Bebe Rexha, Luis Fonsi, Lea Michele, Sugarland, and Aloe Blacc.

The Jurnee Continues
Jurnee delivered an emotional Showcase performance, bolstered by the fact that her wife was able to be in the audience for the first time. Now she's in the Top 24!
Ada's Cover of "Creep"
Before her Showcase, the judges were speculating that Ada Vox may try one too many tricks in her performance, but instead she sang a stripped-back, unique version of Radiohead's "Creep" that helped propel her to the Top 24.
Goodbye For Now
We had to say goodbye to some fan favorites this week, like Alpaca dreamer Noah Davis and returning hopeful Thaddeus Johnson. This may not have been their time, but they left us with some great performances.
