‘American Idol' finale on May 18: Meet the final 3 contestants - How to watch, stream, and vote
Before tonight's finale, the Top 3 returned to their hometowns for special visits, a tradition that adds a personal touch to the final stretch. Now, they'll take the stage with everything on the line, joined by the Top 14 contestants for what promises to be a dazzling final showcase.
Disney magic & Lin-Manuel Miranda's mentorship
The lead-up to the finale included two back-to-back Disney-themed episodes, which helped narrow the competition from seven to three. Last week, Broadway icon Lin-Manuel Miranda lent his expertise to help guide the finalists' performances — a key moment that shaped their paths to the finale.
This year's finale promises a jam-packed lineup of musical guests, with performances from The Goo Goo Dolls, Good Charlotte, Jessica Simpson, Jelly Roll, Patti LaBelle, Salt-N-Pepa, Jennifer Holliday, Josh Groban, Brandon Lake, Myles Smith, and Kirk Franklin.
In addition, the judges themselves — Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie — will step out from behind the panel and onto the stage for special performances of their own.
Fans will be able to vote in real time to help determine this season's winner. Voting is open during the live show and can be done in three ways: Online at AmericanIdol.com/Vote
Through the American Idol app (available on iOS and Android)
Via SMS text message on supported mobile devices
Tune in to the Season 23 finale on ABC or stream it the next day on Hulu. Viewers will find out who among Breanna, John, and Jamal will be crowned the next American Idol.

Gal Gadot Reveals Why Snow White Tanked At Box Office: "There's Pressure On Celebrities To Speak Against Israel"
Washington: Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot shared her perspective on why Disney's live-action Snow White remake underperformed at the box office, reported Variety. During a recent appearance on the Israeli TV program The A Talks, as quoted by Variety, Gadot said 'Snow White's' poor box office performance was partially because of "pressure" in Hollywood to "speak against Israel" amid the ongoing conflict with Palestine. Gal Gadot was born in Israel. "You know, this happens a lot in various industries, including Hollywood. There's pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel. And, you know, it happened," said Gal Gadot as quoted by Variety. She continued, "I can always explain and try to give context about what's happening here. And I always do that. But in the end, people make their own decisions. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office. But that's how it goes. You win some, you lose some," as quoted by Gal Gadot. Alongside Gadot, the film starred Rachel Zegler as the titular Disney princess, Andrew Burnap as the Prince Charming stand-in Jonathan, Patrick Page as the Magic Mirror and Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman. According to Deadline, Gadot served in the Israeli Defence Forces for two years as part of her mandatory conscription, during which she participated in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war. Lebanon cited her service as the reason for banning Wonder Woman upon its 2017 release, The Washington Post reported at the time. Meanwhile, Zegler has been a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza, which reportedly did not go over well with Snow White producer Marc Platt amid promotion of the film, reported Deadline.
