Here are three performances from 'American Idol' season 17's Top 40 singers that blew the judges away

While we wait to see the contestants perform once again before they move on to the All-Star Duets, here are three contestants who left judges and fans amazed by their performance
UPDATED APR 5, 2019

From Hollywood week to Hawaii, the road to making it to the Top 20 has been quite a long one for the contestants who auditioned for 'American Idol' season 17. 

After auditions and three rounds of performances during Hollywood week, when the eighth episode of 'American Idol' aired, we witnessed the Top 40 contestants compete for a place in the Top 20. Half of the contestants were sent home packing and though it was a sad sight to see some fan favorites go home on Sunday, this just proves that the competition is all set to become tougher preparing us for more eliminations in the future. 

On Monday, when the ninth episode of the reality TV competition series airs, The Top 20 will each perform a solo song at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, California. While we wait to see the contestants perform once again before they move on to the All-Star Duets, here are three contestants who wowed the audience with their performance in Hawaii, on Sunday.
