"Fire and Rain" singer James Taylor, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000, served as the guest mentor for the remaining contestants.
Ryan Seacrest, the longtime "American Idol" emcee, also announced the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees – a group that includes Cyndi Lauper, Outkast and Soundgarden – on last week's episode.

‘Lilo & Stitch' Hits The Top 10 As The Movie Dominates The Box Office
After less than a month in theaters, Lilo & Stitch is already the third highest-grossing film of 2025. The live-action remake of the Disney animated classic has so far brought in more than $600 million globally, and it will likely continue to meaningfully add to that sum as the film remains a must-see for entire families. The music featured in the updated Lilo & Stitch is also proving successful. In the United Kingdom this week, the soundtrack debuts on two rankings. Due to its length, it's not classified as an album. Instead, it opens inside the top 10 on both the Official Vinyl Singles chart and the Official Physical Singles list, as EPs sometimes count as "singles." The project launches at No. 8 on the vinyl-only tally and No. 9 on the list of the top-selling releases across all physical formats. Both charts' top 10s include a number of new arrivals that land just ahead of Lilo & Stitch. Those efforts include cuts by artists like Pulp, Olivia Dean, and Senses, while popular past releases from acts such as Oasis, Ed Sheeran, and Madonna rebound and place just ahead of the Disney set. The vinyl edition of the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack features just three songs. On side A is "He Lei Pāpahi No Lilo a me Stitch" by Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu and the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus, a brand new composition crafted for this updated version of the movie. Joining it on the front side is a cover of "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride," a beloved tune this time performed by American Idol winner Iam Tongi and, again, the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus. Side B includes a rendition of "Burning Love," originally made famous by Elvis Presley. This version is covered by Nyjah Music and Zyah Rhythm and produced by their uncle, superstar Bruno Mars. A score was also released alongside the Lilo & Stitch score, which was composed by Dan Romer this time around. Some versions of the soundtrack include both the trio of tracks as well as instrumental versions.
