‘American Idol’ 2026 Top 20 Predictions: Who Makes the Season 24 Top 14?

After weeks of auditions and performances in Hawaii on “American Idol” season 24, we have the first live show on “American Idol” tonight on ABC. The Top 20 singers performed in Hawaii for America’s votes. Tonight, Ryan Seacrest will reveal those results, as the Top 14 will take the stage to perform for your votes, once again. Who gets eliminated on “American Idol” season 24 tonight? Check out our thoughts below in our “American Idol” spoilers and predictions.


Top 20 Performances on ‘American Idol’ 2026

For the past two weeks, we have seen the Top 20 artists perform for America’s votes while in Hawaii. Night 1 took place on March 16 and featured some amazing performances. Then, on March 23, Night 2 took place, and the final 10 singers took the stage to perform. Again, some true standouts among the group.

This has been a weird group, as we have seen some awesome performances along this journey. However, they then slip up the next week. We have a wide variety of artists in the Top 20, as the “American Idol” judges — Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie — have done a great job putting this group together.


Who Makes the Top 14 on ‘American Idol’?

Now that America has voted for both groups of singers, the results will be revealed tonight on “American Idol” season 24. Seacrest will reveal which 14 artists make it through to perform again for our votes.

For me, I think there have been some true standouts over the past few weeks. These artists should definitely be in the Top 14:

  1. Brooks
  2. Rae
  3. Keyla Richardson
  4. Braden Rumfelt
  5. Jordan McCullough
  6. Kyndal Inskeep
  7. Julián Kalel

That’s half the spots, but who is going to take the other seven spots? Here are our thoughts:

  1. Chris Tungseth
  2. Genevieve Heyward
  3. Philmon Lee
  4. Jesse Findling
  5. Hannah Harper
  6. Kutter Bradley
  7. Lucas Leon

Based on those predictions, the following six singers would be eliminated tonight on “American Idol” season 24:

  • Ruby Rae
  • Jake Thistle
  • Makiyah
  • Daniel Stallworth
  • Madison Moon
  • Abayomi

“American Idol” 2026 spoilers are saying that after the Top 14 perform tonight, Ryan will come out again, and more results will be given. Two more artists will be eliminated, leaving us with the Top 12 after all is said and done tonight.

So, which two singers would be eliminated? Without seeing their performances, I think it could be Jordan McCullough and Genevieve Heyward. While I think both are great singers with great voices, I don’t know if the appeal is there for both of them. Will voters step up for them? I am thinking they won’t, which means they would be eliminated tonight also.
