American Idol 2020 Auditions 4 Preview: Meet the Contestants! (PHOTOS)

(ABC/Christopher Willard) BOBBY BONES, MAKAYLA PHILLIPS

American Idol heads to Savannah, Georgia; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles, California; and Sunriver, Oregon, as the search for America’s next superstar continues Sunday, March 8 (8:00–10:00 p.m. EST), on ABC.

In Oregon, a couple wins over the judges during their audition with their version of the iconic song “Shallow” (“A Star Is Born,” 2018), taking their love and artistry to new depths. Later, the judges meet their match when one Hawaiian hopeful confuses the judges with other pop-culture icons. Plus, more incredible standouts are found, hailing from the California coast to the rural hills of West Virginia.

Helping to determine who America will ultimately vote for to win the competition are judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie. Ryan Seacrest returns as host, and Bobby Bones continues his role as in-house mentor.
