Celebrity mentors join the group for the semifinals
According to American Idol 2023 spoilers from IdolSpoilers on Twitter, the top 26 singers are assigned to one of two celebrity mentors. Those mentors are Noah Cyrus and Allen Stone.
Noah’s known as Miley Cyrus’ sister and Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter, but she’s paving her own way in the entertainment industry. The 23-year-old singer and actor also had her start at a young age. She voiced the main character in Ponyo in 2008 when she was just 8 years old. At just 16 years old, she had her singing debut with the single “Make Me (Cry)” featuring Labrinth. She went on to release her first album in September 2022.
Allen Stone is a self-described “hippie with a soul” from Washington, according to AllMusic. He brings soul and R&B to the mix, which will complement Cyrus’ style. He made the Top 40 of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in 2011 after he released his independently produced debut album. A tweet from IdolSpoilers notes Stone performs “Is This Love?” by Bob Marley & The Wailers while mentoring on American Idol Season 21.
