LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' Season 21 viewers were treated to a surprising twist as Katy Perry announced that the Top 26 contestants will vie for 'America's Vote' in Hawaii. However, the viewers were quite confused after they noticed only 25 artists were shown on TV during the Showstoppers/Final Judgments.

During 'America's Vote' Part 1, the viewers were left stunned as their favorite contestant Paige Anne returned to the show after getting eliminated in Showstoppers. 'American Idol' judges, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, continue their hunt for the singing sensation at Aulani Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii. Alongside the judges, singer and 'American Idol' alum Allen Stone was also there to mentor the hopefuls vying for America's first open vote of the season. Some contestants have already been eliminated and others will try their luck in the next round.
