American Idol 2025 Top 24 POLL Results and Your Predictions
American Idol 2025 is set to reveal the Top 20 in a three-hour Easter worship-themed special on Sunday, April 20. Ahead of that reveal, here are the combined results and insights from the polls we ran after each Top 24 episode. The Top 24 performances were broadcast across two nights, and America’s vote will determine which two contestants are eliminated from each night.
We conducted polls after both nights of Top 24 performances to gauge viewer favorites and who fans predicted would be sent home. Below you’ll find the poll percentages and a brief look at what those numbers suggest for each contestant’s chances as the competition advances toward the live rounds.
Note: the Top 20 reveal episode was filmed on Wednesday, April 16. As of Friday, April 18 there were no confirmed spoilers publicly available. If spoilers surface, they will be posted separately. Please respect any designated spoiler posts and avoid sharing potential eliminations outside those threads.
UPDATE: According to reports from forum posters, Breanna Nix said in a live TikTok chat that contestants did not know who had been eliminated. Some speculate the Top 24 performances were pre-recorded for broadcast while the Top 20 announcement may still air live. Take these accounts as unconfirmed until the show clarifies.
