American Idol is about to have some fun in the sun with its judges, host, and the Top 26 competitors as the series heads to Disney’s Aulani Resort and Spa in Hawaii.
In an exclusive first look at this upcoming portion of the season, judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie join host Ryan Seacrest to reflect on their great times at the tropical getaway. For Perry, it’s a great family opportunity as she notes in the featurette, above, “I always bring my daughter and we turn this into just the best time ever! I was in the water park this morning,” she adds. “Nobody really knows, but I’m there every morning.”

That revealing detail surprises Richie who says in disbelief, “You’re kidding me?!” Perry quickly dispels any doubts, saying, “I’m in it to win it.”
The first look also offers a glimpse at what the contestants are up to on their Hawaiian excursion. For some singers, it isn’t too far from home — fan favorite Iam Tongi hails from the state. Plus, get a glimpse at one of this week’s mentors, Allen Stone, helping out the contestants before they take the stage.
The judges and singers vying for the top spot in the competition will have fun at Aulani over the course of two episodes beginning on Sunday, April 16, and carrying on through Monday, April 17. Don’t miss the fun, check out the featurette, above, and don’t miss American Idol when it airs on ABC Sundays and Mondays.
