Five contestants remain on season 20 of American Idol! Minnesota Live producer, Lauren Andrego, is here to break down the latest episode for us.

  1. We have a top 5
  • Leah Marlene, Huntergirl, Nicolina, Fritz Hager and Noah Thompson
  • We lost Jay Copeland, a platinum-ticket winner, and Christian Guardino, who was one of her favorites
  • Noah and Fritz had COVID, so neither was able to sing live in-studio

 

2. Leah Marlene

  • Lauren’s favorite contestant
  • She’s been transforming well-known songs into her own style

3. Fritz Hager

  • Sang two original songs this week
  • He had COVID, must have tested positive very soon before the show, because they had to air his rehearsal performance from the night before.

  • Potential winner?

5. Noah Thompson

  • Other predicted winner
  • Growth over the season
  • Also got COVID
