LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' Season 22 Episode 10 is set to air on Monday, April 14 at 8 pm ET on ABC.

Each contestant had the opportunity to showcase their talent and win over the audience with their performances.

However, with only a limited number of spots available in the top 20, the competition was fierce and the stakes were high. As the votes will be tallied, the fate of each contestant will hang in the balance, leading to emotional moments as the final results were revealed.
