‘American Idol’ 2023 schedule: Here’s when the top 7 are revealed

The American Idol 2023 schedule notes that fans will see the top seven whittled down from the top 10 on Monday, May 1, 2023, according to Mjsbigblog. The episode on May 1 begins at 8 p.m. ET until 10 p.m. ET.

It’s likely that the top seven format will look the same as the top 10 format. On Sunday, April 30, the top 12 singers performed, and votes voted during the show for whom they hoped to see in the top 10. Then, the top 10 will perform and hopefully get into the top seven using the same live voting system.

The episode airing on May 1, 2023, also marks the “Judges Song Contest” this season. Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan give the top 10 performers song suggestions and the singers then choose a song from those suggestions to sing in the hopes of moving forward.

The top 10 were revealed on Sunday, April 30, 2023
