Who is in American Idol‘s Top 4?
Though American Idol had announced the top 5 contestants last week, Caleb Kennedy has been taken out of the running after a controversial video resurfaced. Now, the remaining top 4 are:
- Willie Spence
- Grace Kinstler
- Casey Bishop
- Chayce Beckham
In this week’s episode, the top 4 will perform 4 songs total: 2 from FINNEAS, one from their personal idol, and one original single. According to Billboard, the contestants will be paired up to sing FINNEAS’ songs. Casey Bishop and Chayce Beckham will be paired to sing “Break My Heart Again”; Grace Kinstler and Willie Spence will be paired to sing “What They’ll Say About Us.”
Casey will perform “wish you were gay” by Billie Eilish (FINNEAS’ younger sister), and her original song is “Love Me, Leave Me.” Chayce is performing “Colder Weather” by Zac Brown Band, and his original track is called “23.” Grace chose “A Moment Like This” by Kelly Clarkson as her personal idol song; her original single is “Love Someone.” Last, but not least, Willie is performing “Glory” by John Legend and Common; his original is “Never Be Alone.”
