During the all-new American Idol season 24 ‘Ohana Round, airing on March 9, the Top 30 contestants will sing for industry tastemakers, their families, friends, and each other, creating the ultimate focus group.

The American Idol Top 20 Round is the first time that the contestants will compete for America’s Vote. It was filmed at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii, and will air over two nights on March 16 and March 23. Superstar singers Keke Palmer and Brad Paisley will serve as the mentors for the contestants during this round. After the Top 20, American Idol will go live every week.

American Idol season 24 has been one of the most competitive ever, with so many talented contestants.
