What’s happening on next week’s American Idol
The Top 7 will be revealed, reigning American Idol winner Laine Hardy performs, two themes include Mothers Day and Disney. In normal times the themes would each have led two separate American Idol episodes.
American Idol gets closer to crowning the 2020 winner with an all-new episode revealing who America voted into the Top 7, Sunday, May 10 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. In the hybrid Disney and Mother’s Day show, the remaining finalists will perform two songs each; one from the renowned Disney songbook and the second dedicated to the mother figures in their lives as a Mother’s Day tribute. Season 17 winner, Laine Hardy, returns to perform “Life is a Highway” and share his journey after winning the show last year. (TV-PG, L) Episodes can also be viewed the next day on demand and on Hulu.
I wonder why Laine is singing a cover, rather than promote one of his new singles?
