American Idol” has narrowed the competition down to 14.

Following Sunday night’s episode, an Easter program that featured the top 20 “Idol” contestants performing faith-inspired songs, another six contestants saw their time on “Idol” come to an end Monday night.

The top 14 includes the season’s three platinum ticket winners — Kolbi Jordan, Canaan James Hill and Filo; 15-year-old Mattie Pruitt, the youngest contestant remaining in the competition; and Thunderstorm Artis, a singer who placed third on “The Voice” in 2020.

“Whether I win or lose, I want to also make sure that I’m helping everyone put their best foot forward,” Artis recently told the Deseret News. “I don’t want to see anyone get on stage and not do something great. I want to see them do the best they can offer.

“And if I’m not the last ‘American Idol,’ I’m going to celebrate whoever is.”
