Each of the artists who advanced to the current phase of the competition has proved themselves over multiple performances. They have delivered their renditions of a range of songs while also showcasing their stage presence, confidence, and singing tones.

With different genres of songs performed in each phase, they have built a strong fan base and won the judges' hearts. However, fans are well aware that eliminations are also part of the game. No matter how hard it is, with each round, talented artists are sent home, which has never been easy.

Each elimination from such a renowned competition, where a huge number of fans are invested, breaks hearts left, right, and center. However, it is necessary to move forward with the competition, as only one can win the title and the competition.

Judges, including Carrie Underwood, have been stating since they started the elimination rounds how hard it has been for them to choose. Despite the heartbreak and sadness, they have to make hard decisions.

Looking back at the competition, what's coming in the American Idol Season 23 finale is going to be far more difficult for the viewers and the judges. While such things are happening, artists are constantly under a lot of pressure while they are not in the know of what might happen in the next round.

The top 7 artists will compete against each other to win the title and make a name for themselves. It will depend on the voting and how the judges see the artists and their performances. Despite everything, one thing is for sure: with such a talented group of artists on the ABC reality show, there will be mesmerizing performances from each of them.
