Aloha from “American Idol”! This Sunday, the competition heats up – literally – as the Top 24 contestants trade Hollywood for the sunny shores of Hawaii. Landing at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Ko Olina, they’ll be vying for America’s votes and a coveted spot in the Top 12. But before they hit the stage, they’ll have some expert guidance.

With the added pressure of performing in paradise and impressing these music industry heavyweights, the stakes are higher than ever.
This episode marks the beginning of nationwide voting, giving viewers the power to shape the competition and decide who will continue their “Idol” journey. Expect show-stopping performances, stunning Hawaiian scenery, and, of course, the ever-present tension as the field narrows. Who will shine under the Hawaiian sun? Who will crack under the pressure?
