The stars come out to coronate a new Idol in a three-hour extravaganza, which ends with Ryan Seacrest announcing which of the Top 3 — Keyla Richardson, Hannah Harper, or Jordan McCullough — received the most votes from America to be named their favorite from Season 24. They’ll be mentored in the finale by Alicia Keys, who’s performing solo and with the Top 3 to mark the 25th anniversary of her debut album. She’ll be joined by an all-star roster of musical guests, including Season 2 finalist Clay Aiken, Brad Paisley, En Vogue, Jason Mraz, Lee Ann Womack, Mötley Crüe, Nelly, Tori Kelly, Gin Blossoms, Season 20’s Cameron Whitcomb, and Shinedown.
