American Idol
Cast & Crew

Matt Roush says...
Seems like old times on the Idol stage when the singing competition turns back the clock 20 years to welcome back contestants from the class of 2006 for a musical reunion. Nostalgia rules on the judging panel as well, with OG Paula Abdul visiting as a guest judge and Randy Jackson providing wisdom as a guest mentor. Among the 2006 Idol alums scheduled to appear: Season 5 Idol winner Taylor Hicks, Kellie Pickler, Bucky Covington, Paris Bennett, and Elliott Yamin, performing duets with this year’s Top 5: Chris Tungseth, Hannah Harper, Braden Rumfelt, Keyla Richardson, and Jordan McCullough. The celebration also features performances by pros from the Dancing with the Stars cast. After America votes live (including on the Disney+ livestream), the field will be narrowed to a Top 3.
