The Top 3 finalists of 'American Idol' Season 20 have been announced, and the show's fans have some strong feelings about it. Over the course of the season, fans began rooting for some of the contestants as the potential winners such as Nicolina Bozzo, Fritz Hager, etc.

So when both Nicolina and Fritz's elimination was announced from the Top 3 lineup and instead Noah Thompson, Leah Marlene, and HunterGirl were named as the finalists, fans were anything but happy. Fans were especially triggered by Noah's entry into the singing competition's finale. Several fans took to Twitter to express their displeasure with the American voters who cast their votes for Noah and earned him a spot amongst the Top 3.
