American Idol just wrapped Hollywood Week on ABC's March 25 episode, and next week's broadcasts will feature the remaining 40 artists singing for their lives at Disney's Aulani resort in Hawaii during the "Final Judgment" round, from which only 20 contestants will survive.
But after the Top 20 are determined, they will each perform with a celebrity musician/singer as well as a live band, and then American Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan will be shown determining the Top 14.
American Idol's Top 14 finalists for Season 17 are Alejandro Aranda, Alyssa Raghu, Ashley Hess, Dimitrius Graham, Eddie Island, Evelyn Cormier, Jeremiah Harmon, Laci Kaye Booth, Laine Hardy, Madison VanDenburg, Riley Thompson, Uche Ndubizu, Wade Cota, and Walker Burroughs, according to The Idol Pad.

The first group was comprised of Kate, Walker, Riley, Uche, Madison, Shawn, Ashley, Cristina, Laci Kaye, and Laine, according to The Idol Pad.
And the second group was made up of the following hopefuls: Alyssa, Eddie, Wade, Ryan, Evelyn, Logan, Raquel, Alejandro, Dimitrius, and Jeremiah.
