American Idol Season 24 will return on Monday night for the grand finale, as the Top 3 singers take the stage for their last chance to earn America’s vote. Who will be named the winner — Hannah Harper, Jordan McCullough, or Keyla Richardson?
Who Will Win American Idol Season 24?
During the most recent episode of American Idol Season 24, the Top 5 performed two songs each for their chance to make it into the finale. At the end of the night the Top 3 was revealed. Which singer has the best shot at winning the season?
All three contestants have received praise from the judges for their talent throughout the season, but the final decision about the show’s winner is down to the viewers at home. Because of this, Hannah Harper seems most likely to win the show.
Out of the three finalists, Hannah has the largest Instagram following, at over 400,000 compared to Keyla Richardson’s 110,000 and Jordan McCullough’s 47,000. Her audition for the show has also received nearly a million views on YouTube as of this writing.
Harper went viral early in the season due to her original audition song “String Cheese,” in which she sang honestly about her experience with postpartum depression.
In Monday night’s American Idol Season 24 finale, the Top 3 finalists will perform duets with famous singers they admire. They reacted to the news of these duets in videos posted on social media earlier this week.
Hannah Harper will perform with her idol, country singer Lee Ann Womack. Keyla Richardson will reprise her performance of “Never Give Up” from earlier in the season, this time with Jason Mraz himself. As for Jordan McCullough, he’ll actually be performing with two people — former Season 24 contestant Daniel Stallworth, as well as singer-songwriter Tori Kelly.
