Tonight, America will be voting for 10 of the Top 20 to make it through to the Top 14, with the final 10 performing next week. The results won't be revealed until the March 30 episode.
Joining judges Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie to critique the artists was KeKe Palmer, who also served as a mentor, along with Brad Paisley. There was a fun moment when host Ryan Seacrest ran a video of Keke from her American Idol Juniors audition from when she was 9 years old. And in a flashback, former American IdolIam Tongi performed the title track from his debut album “Good for My Soul,” and dueted with Idol finalist Thunderstorm Artis on “Island Style.”

Who went home on American Idol tonight?
Here’s how the night broke down:
MAKIYAH
Keke said: “Talk about a crowd pleaser. From the moment you stepped out, you had the audience engaged. In the first verse, did something happen really quick? Your recovery was insane. It was a quick moment but then you breezed right through it and you kept the energy high the whole time. It was incredible. Insane.”
Lionel said: “Did I detect this sexy, Jake? And then I’ve never seen you when you get this ugly face. That means you’re singing your heart out. That’s what we’re looking for.”
GENEVIEVE HEYWARD
Carrie said: “I remember early on when you were talking about what kind of artist you wanted to be, you wanted to occupy that pop/rock space, and I love that you took this giant pop anthem and toughed it up a little bit. The second you walked on stage, it was like, ‘What’s this girl about to do?’ and you’re having fun with it.”
Lionel said: “I am going to give a compliment I never said before. A lot of people will try to do that song. You took the song and made it yours. It was amazing. I am telling you that if you put it out tomorrow, I will split it with you.”
KYNDAL (Industry Platinum Ticket Winner)
Luke said: “No matter what you sing, whether you write the song or it’s someone else’s, you present it like an artist presents. That cry in your voice is so intoxicating. I was just hanging on every word. You are an artist, a big-time artist.”
