The “American Idol” judges discuss their work with Carrie Underwood

We are officially asleep from finding the next “American Idol” person.
Season 23 had no fewer contestants than this moment as the competition hit two more contestants on May 12th to reveal the top three. That meant that generous studio viewers had time to cheer and praise the judges’ final five contestants, including Slater Nary, Brenna Knicks, John Foster, Jamal Roberts and Thunderstorm Altis, in search of the spot for the “Idol” finale on May 18th.
On the second Disney night in episode 17, the singer stayed mostly in the lane and avoided delivering surprises with two songs each performed, honed by Lynn Manuel Miranda.
Thunderstorms blew through as Slater played his guitar, but for the first time Slater dumped the instrument and tried his hand to emulate Randy Newman. Breana looked far into her eyes as she emphasized her overcoming the lyrics to Natalie’s “This Will Be.” She then redeemed herself with the romantic track “Tarzan” that made her husband cry.
John took his modern cowboy again on stage, and Jamal put a fun R&B spin on his beloved song of Beauty and the Beast. Iam Tongi also returned to the “Idol” stage to give additional mutual promotional performances for the upcoming live-action “Lilo & Stitch.”
The results for episode 17 are as follows:
