American Idol is on break

Thankfully, Meaww reports all the details about why the singing competition won’t be on tonight. The show is on a thirteen-day break according to the outlet. Tonight, one of America’s favorite singing competitions didn’t air Sunday night because the 93rd Academy Awards is taking up the time slot.

However, the last two weeks have been full of American Idol milestones. The competition is now down to the Top 9. While Ava August, Beane, and Madison Watkins may have been fan favorites, they “were sent home due to lack of votes from the American audiences.”  This leaves the following nine hopefuls: Alyssa Wray, Grace Kinstler, Willie Spence, Cassandra Coleman, Caleb Kennedy, Casey Bishop, Hunter Metts, Chayce Beckham, and Deshawn Goncalves.
