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.

Designed as the ultimate focus group, the ‘Ohana Round blends peer respect, emotional support, and professional insight before the competition moves on to America’s Vote.

In this new round, the Top 30 will perform for industry tastemakers including Sasha Farber, Loren Gray, Cheryl Porter, and Kelly Sutton, as well as their peers, family members and friends.

At the end of the round, only 20 contestants will remain.
