American Idol Season 21 Episode 17: Release Date, Spoilers & How To Watch

The release date for episode 17 of American Idol Season 21 has arrived, and we can’t contain our excitement for the upcoming performances. In the previous episode, we sadly saw Lucy Love and Nutsa being eliminated. Now, in episode 16, we witnessed the judges facing a tough challenge as they struggled to predict who would be sent home.

The judges possess the ability to assist contestants in progressing towards the Top 7 positions, although America ultimately holds the authority to determine the winners among the Top 7. In this particular live show, the judges will actively engage in the process of selecting songs.

In this post, we will uncover the release date and streaming guide for American Idol Season 21 Episode 17, as well as provide a recap of Episode 16. So, let’s dive right in! Zachariah Smith had three song options and ultimately selected Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.” This choice was made by Lionel, who praised it as a fantastic performance.

According to Katy, the audience absolutely loved him, and he remained authentic to himself. Following him was Haven Madison, who chose Paramore’s “Only Exception.” Katy explained that she selected this song for Haven because it allowed her voice to showcase both its power and tenderness.

Luke commented on how he admires her ability to express her story through her song. According to Lionel, she possesses the indescribable “it” factor. We Ani chose Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” as her performance piece.

Lionel claimed ownership of the song, while Katy acknowledged that she surpassed their expectations by going the extra mile. Oliver Steele chose Radiohead’s “High and Dry”, and both Luke and Katy praised his exceptional singing and guitar playing skills.

Warren Peay performs the song “Colder Weather” by the Zac Brown Band, initially thinking it was chosen by Luke. However, it was actually Lionel who made the selection. Lionel confidently asserted that he had taken charge of the situation.

Katy believes that his performances will expose his true abilities. Luke considers it a clever choice of song. At first, Iam Tongi wanted to sing Extreme’s “More Than Words,” but the voice instructors convince him to go with Louis Armstrong’s “What A Wonderful World” instead. Ultimately, he settles on “What a Wonderful World.”

Luke selected a song by Iam and confidently asserted that he delivered an exceptional performance. Impressed by his talent, Katy urged him to keep playing “More Than Worlds” for her. She expressed that his music transported them to another realm and believed that his mere presence enhanced the world around them.

Marybeth Byrd performed “Wasted On You” by Morgan Wallen. Despite guessing Luke, she was chosen by Lionel to sing the song. Katy referred to her as the show’s butterfly. Luke considered it to be her shining moment.

Tyson Venegas performs Lewis Capaldi’s hit song “Somebody You Loved” and impresses Katy with his accurate prediction. Katy selects his tune, noting that this time on stage, Tyson has undergone a remarkable transformation. She confidently declares Tyson to be the real deal.

According to Luke, the competitors are mutually inspiring each other. Megan Danielle performs Vince Gill’s “Go Rest High on the Mountain” even though Luke selects the song for her, she mistakenly assumes it was chosen by Lionel.

According to Lionel, he stated that he simply believed the music was perfect for her. Lionel mentioned that she possesses the ability to deeply move people. He characterized her as an exceptionally talented narrator.

Described by Katy as a heavenly gift, Colin Stough is the final performer of the night, selecting “It’s Been Awhile” by Staind as his song. Katy was the winner of this year’s judges’ song competition, where Meganop, Haven, Warren, We Ani, Colin, I am, and Zachariah also made it to the top 7.
