Tonight, American Idol voters pick the finalists for Season 24.

We’re down to a Top 5 of Hannah Harper, Keyla Richardson, Jordan McCullough, Chris Tungseth and Braden Rumfelt.

Two head home at the end of tonight’s show. The other three head home for those renown American Idol homecoming celebrations and concerts.

But first, everyone will sing twice tonight in one last attempt to convince fans they belong in next week’s finale.

Original Idol judges Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson will be on hand to mentor the Top 5. And Paula will be the guest judge for tonight’s show.
