Meet the Top 30 Contestants of ‘American Idol’ Season 24—And Find Out the New Twist They’ll Face Next

American Idol has named its Top 30 contestants of season 24. On the ABC series’ latest episode, judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood narrowed the field down from 127 down to 30.

Hollywood Week was just the first battle for the hopefuls, though. Next week, the 30 chosen ones will head to Aulani in Ko Olina, Hawai’i, for the brand new ‘Ohana Round of the competition.
