Who made the Top 8 of 'American Idol'? How to watch tonight's episode for free
Share this @internewscast.com

Eight contestants remain on this season of American Idol, and the second half of this week’s doubleheader airs tonight.

Last night, the Top 10 contestants were narrowed down to the Top 8 during Ladies Night, where all performers showcased songs by legendary women in music. Tonight, the Top 8 will have the challenge of performing songs selected in secret for them by one of the three judges of Idol: Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood. Additionally, Jelly Roll will make an appearance as the “artist in residence” tonight.

At the conclusion of the evening, the Top 6 contestants will be announced, but a special judges’ save will be in effect, allowing the panel of judges to rescue one of the two eliminated singers. As a result, there will be a Top 7 proceeding into the following weekend.

Is American Idol On Tonight?

Yes! A new episode of American Idol airs tonight, May 5, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

How to Watch American Idol for Free:

The only way to view “American Idol” live without cable is by utilizing a live TV streaming service. We suggest DIRECTV, which offers a five-day free trial and includes ABC in its basic package.

fuboTV is another great free option that’s also offering great savings on the first month. After a seven-day free trial, you’ll be able to save $20 on your first month, bringing the $84.99/month price down to $64.99.

Is American Idol on Hulu?

American Idol will not stream live on Hulu, but subscribers will be able to watch new episodes of American Idol the day after they air on cable.

It’s the most cost-effective way to tune in to American Idol if you’re fine not watching it live.
