The official American Idol app has been discontinued, with voting now occurring on the show's website, via text message, and on social media.
Social media voting requires commenting on the official pinned voting posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok with the contestant's name spelled correctly.
Keyla Richardson, a musician from Pensacola, Florida, has reached the Top 20 and is awaiting America's vote to determine if she will advance to the Top 14.
Lionel Richie praised Richardson's rendition of "With A Little Help From My Friends" as one of the best performances he has heard on the show.
Why this matters: Understanding the updated voting rules ensures your vote counts. Keyla Richardson's journey showcases the impact of local talent on a national stage.
The American Idol app is no more. To vote this season, fans must use the website, text, or social media. Social media voting has specific rules: comments must be on the official pinned posts, names must be spelled correctly, and each comment can only contain one name. Failure to follow these rules results in an invalid vote.
Keyla Richardson's musical journey began in Pensacola churches and led her to become a music teacher. Her emotional audition, singing “Glitter in the Air” by P!nk, earned her a golden ticket to Hollywood Week. Her rendition of “I Won’t Give Up” earned her temporary safety, landing her a spot in the Top 20. She awaits the results of America's votes to see if she makes it to the Top 14.
The Top 20 contestants include Jordan McCullough, Brooks Rosser, Kyndal Inskeep, Keyla Richardson, Ruby Rae, and others.
