The search for America’s next 'American Idol' concludes with the Season 23 finale on May 18, where the Top 3 contestants—John Foster, Breanna Nix, and Jamal Roberts—will perform their final songs. Foster, an Addis native, is competing for the title and has already secured his spot in the top 3 after impressing judges with performances like 'Don’t Rock the Jukebox' and his original song 'Tell That Angel I Love Her.' The finale will feature performances from music legends such as Patti LaBelle, Salt-N-Pepa, and Josh Groban, along with appearances by judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie. Viewers can watch the event live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET or stream it on Hulu the following day. Voting is open through three methods provided by ABC to help fans choose their winner. The previous season’s champion was Abi Carter from Indio, California. The finale promises a star-studded night with final performances from the Top 3 and collaborations with famous artists, leading up to the live announcement of the 2025 winner.
