American Idol 2023: Hollywood Duet Pairing Spoilers
After Sunday’s Hollywood performance challenge and subsequent eliminations, it’s time for the American Idol season 21 Duets Challenge. The show is shaking the round up a bit. Previously, the judges–Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan–paired up the contestants. But this year, the remaining contestants found their own duet partners. Chaos!
Also in this round, the Platinum Ticket winners join the competition after sitting out the first round. Cam Amen, Tyson Venegas and Kaylin Hedges were chosen in each city, while Elijah McCormick won a fan voted contest run during the AMA awards last November. Last year, the Platinum Tickets picked their own partners. Now everyone is in on the fun.
At the end of the round, the contestants will be whittled down to a Top 55 who will perform in the Showcase Round in front of a LIVE audience. (Spoilers. But don’t spill in the comments here!) Twenty six contestants will be chosen at the end of the Showcase to perform for the Disney Aulani in Hawaii round (Spoilers again DO NOT SPILL in the comments)
The Disney Press site spoiled a few of Monday’s pairings. Note that two Platinum Ticket–Tyson and Kaylin are performing together. Also, there’s is some weird drama going on with Fire again. She’s pictured performing with Jayna Elise in one photo, and Kaya Stewart in another. A separate photo depicts Jayna in a trio with Adin Boyer and Summer Joy. Stay tuned!
What do you think of the pairings so far?
