This week’s American Idol elimination results were stunning. While the Top 5 candidates gave it their utmost to go to the finals, two were eliminated in an unexpected turn of events. Despite being considered frontrunners in the competition, Fritz Hager and Nicolina Bozzo fell short of making the Top 3. Katy Perry’s surprise resonated with the crowd towards the conclusion of the show. The removal of Nicolina Bozzo was the most disappointing to viewers. The contender has shown her mettle and emerged as one of the competition’s strongest players. Her performances were memorable for a long time. One follower tweeted:
This week on American Idol, the candidates traveled to Las Vegas to continue the show’s 20th-anniversary celebrations and to commemorate the legacy of Season 4 winner and American country artist Carie Underwood. The celebrity also served as a guest adviser for the Top 5 candidates, which were Leah Marlene, Fritz Hager, Nicolina Bozzo, Noah Thompson, and HunterGirl.
Fans express their displeasure over the removal of American Idol finalist Nicolina Bozzo.
Nicolina Bozzo received the fewest votes this week, and so was removed from the competition. Fans were disappointed with the outcome and aired their displeasure on social media.

What happened on American Idol’s Episode 19?
On Sunday, May 15, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET, ABC broadcast Episode 19. Viewers were in for a night of celebration in the world’s entertainment capital, Las Vegas. The Top 5 had outstanding performances in all rounds and were coached by Grammy Award-winning artist Carie Underwood.
The synopsis for the Top 5 episode is as follows:
“The Top 5 Idol finalists fly to Las Vegas to be mentored by eight-time GRAMMY® Award-winning country music superstar and 2005 American Idol winner Carrie Underwood from Resorts World Theatre, home of her continuing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency.”
The candidates attended their mentor’s performance and were blown away by the star’s level of passion and stage presence. In the first round, they were supposed to perform covers of Carie Underwood’s popular songs. They performed great performances that astonished the celebrity herself after a lengthy session with her. Finneas, a GRAMMY and Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter and producer, debuted his new tune Naked on the Idol stage. Rita Ora and Diane Warren made a surprise visit to the program, revealing exclusive video footage of their new single Finish Line.
The judges and the crowd waited for the outcome with bated breath. While some were pleased, others were disappointed to see their favorite contenders, Fritz and Nicolina, exit the tournament. Leah Marlene, HunterGirl, and Noah Thompson are the top three contenders that will compete in the finals. Idol judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Idol icon Carrie Underwood will all sing at the American Idol finals next week. James Arthur, Sara Bareilles, Gabby Barrett, Michael Bublé, Deana Carter, Earth, Wind & Fire, Melissa Etheridge, Flo Rida, Ben Platt, Thomas Rhett, Tai Verdes, and others will also perform.
