DESPITE many shows being postponed due to the pandemic, American Idol found a way to make it work from the judges' homes.
Now the finale is approaching – here's what we know…
When is the finale of American Idol 2020?
The finale is fast approaching and will air on Sunday May 17 at 8pm/7pm central.
Judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie have been filming from their homes along with the contestants.
The season had to cut its live episodes short due to lockdown and social distancing rules, but has found a way to continue.
How can I watch the finale?
The live show will air on ABC, but those wanting to catch up can go to Hulu from the following day.
Who are the final 7 contestants?
The final seven contestants are:
- Arthur Gunn
- Dillon James
- Jonny West
- Julia Gargano
- Louis Knight
- Just Sam
- Francisco Martin
Dillon James made Katy Perry cry with his most recent performance.
The contestant has been open about his former drug addiction.
Arthur Gunn is another favourite of the top seven.
The 22-year-old was born in Nepal and has said he's pursuing his American Dream by being on the show.
Only the top five contestants will make it through to the finale.
How can I vote in the American Idol 2020 finale?
This hasn't been confirmed yet, but we're expecting there will be a live vote and viewers will be told on the night how they can vote for their favourite contestant.
To determine the top 5, voting will open mid-show once all of the top 7 contestants have been announced and will close tomorrow at 9am ET.
Those 5 contestants will be in with a chance of winning season 18 of the talent contest.
To vote for your favourite within the current 7, you can go to AmericanIdol.com/vote, download the American Idol text, or text message.
