According to Reddit, Nutsa and Iam Tongi lead the way in terms of the top views on Facebook after the American Idol 2023 top 20 performances. By 5 a.m. ET on April 24, 2023, Nutsa had 291,000 views on her performance, and Iam had 212,000. Given this information, it seems likely both Nutsa and Iam will move forward into the top 12.

Some fans find Nutsa impressive, but others have had enough of the singer and hope she heads home. Colin Stough and Mariah Faith have also divided fans. Many viewers don’t believe they should make the top 12.

“Oh please let this season be different and just have Colin and Mariah be eliminated before the top 12,” a fan on Reddit wrote.

American Idol Season 21 airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
