All four — Roman Collins, Jayna Elise, Nya and Jordan Anthony — had to know they faced the longest odds of surviving the cut from a Top 14 to a Top 10.
After all, they were the four singers who needed judges’ saves to make that Top 14.
Jordan and Nya were eliminated Sunday night. Jayna and Roman went home Monday.
All four took to social media to thank American Idol and their fans.
“My American Idol journey has come to an end but I am so elated about all that has happened and all that will transpire,” Roman wrote.
He added a fun fact. Apparently, he was the last artist producers approved to audition for Season 22, getting the go-ahead just four days before singing for the judges in Nashville.
Roman’s also one of the contestants to release music during his Idol run. He dropped an album called “Same Gospel New Sound” on March 15.
Jayna also has new music out. She dropped a single called “Open Fire” on March 24. She released it around the time her audition aired, calling it “one of my favorites songs that I’ve done.”
Jayna was making her second attempt at Idol after getting cut at the showstopper round a year ago.
“Wow. What a journey this has been,” she wrote on social media. “I am truly honored and so, so grateful. This experience has been a true blessing and eye-opening to me in the sense that I’ve learned so much about myself.
“This is not sad for me,” she added. “This is a truly sweet, sweet moment.”
Jordan dropped his second original, “Nights Like These,” on April 1. He also has three songs on streaming sites from his 2019 participation on The Voice Australia.
He posted a video message to fans right after his elimination from Idol.
“This is the first time in my life, through this experience, where I’ve genuinely felt like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be and doing exactly what I’m meant to be doing,” he says. “It’s been the most incredible time of my life.”
Nya might soon join them in having new music out. She revealed on Tuesday that her Top 10 song would have been “Say So” by Doja Cat.
“I still want y’all to hear how I would’ve done it soooo.. COVER COMING SOON,” she writes.
As for her time on Idol, writes Nya: “I left it all on that stage🩶. Not only am I proud, but my inner child and my future self is rejoicing in the fact I am following my dreams and making them a reality.”
