American Idol 2024 Top 20 Poll Results, Predictions and Facebook Rankings

American Idol 2024 revealed the Top 14 live on Monday night, April 15. This report summarizes the results of a fan poll taken after a three-hour episode that showcased the Top 20 contestants performing for viewers’ votes. As always, six singers will be eliminated: America’s votes will determine ten advancing contestants, while the judges—Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan—will select four wildcards to complete the Top 14.

Below you’ll find the poll results, predictions based on fan voting and social engagement, favorite performance rankings, episode grades from voters, and Facebook video statistics that show which performances drew the most online attention. These metrics give a snapshot of fan sentiment and engagement following the performance episode.

Predictions

Poll participants identified Kennedy Reid, Jennifer Jeffries, Jordan Anthony, MacKenzie Sol, Quintavious, and Jayna Elise as the six contestants most likely to leave the competition. Separately, Facebook video view counts — an indicator of public reach — ranked the lowest-performing videos (from least to most views) as Ajii, Quintavious, Nya, Jordan Anthony, Jennifer Jeffries, and Jayna Elise. Although Ajii’s clip registered among the lowest views, some voters expect the judges might select him as a wildcard because of his popularity among dedicated fans.

Kennedy Reid was the top choice among poll voters to be eliminated. Some of that sentiment appears connected to controversy that circulated within online fan spaces. That discussion, however, was largely confined to the most active corners of the fandom and may not reflect the awareness or opinions of the broader TV audience.

A quick, informal set of predictions from poll respondents and observers favors the following six as the likely eliminations: Jennifer Jeffries, Jordan Anthony, Mackenzie Sol, Jayna Elise, Jack Blocker, and Quintavious. These selections combine poll rankings, social engagement, and perceived judge preferences to estimate who might not advance.
