‘American Idol’ Season 13, Episode 23: ‘Results Show’

American Idol Season 13, Episode 23:  Results Show

“American Idol” season 13, episode 23: “Results Show” premieres tonight on Fox.

In tonight’s episode, one finalist’s journey will come to an end as America’s vote is revealed. The Idol Top 8 will also be revealed and Janelle Monae will make an appearance as a guest performer.

Fox describes the show as follows:

“American Idol” is the hit Fox musical reality series. Four judges: Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson II, along with host Ryan Seacrest, search the U.S. for the next American Idol, a pop star who truly shines above all the rest. Past judges included Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Kara DioGuardi, Steven Tyler & Ellen DeGeneres. With help from the viewers, they will decide from thousands of participants who will walk away with a record deal and the fame and fortune that is sure to come along with it. It has since emerged as a hit series in its own right, propelling Fox to the top of television rankings, inspiring various merchandise, and launching the careers of many hit-stars, including Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson (season one winner) and Phillip Phillips (last season’s winner).”

“American Idol” season 13, episode 23:  “Results Show” premiers Wednesday, Mar. 26, at 8:00 p.m. on Fox.

Take a look at a highlight from last night’s episode. All eyes were on the Top 9 when they hit the stage together as a group to perform a hodge-podge of hits! Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and Fall Out Boy got some love as the Top 9 performed Clocks (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction and My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up).

 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
