Season 24 of American Idol is getting serious. Three finalists were eliminated on Monday night (April 6) after one singer was saved at the very end.

With live shows underway, here is who is left on America's most popular singing reality show.

  • Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie returned as judges for Season 24 of American Idol.
  • New episodes air on Monday nights at 8PM ET on ABC.
  • Jamal Roberts won Season 23 of American Idol.

This week's theme was '90s songs, as chosen by the judging panel. Contestants were able to choose their song, and the judge who suggested the most picks would get the save at the end of the episode.

All of this came after the show opened with two singers learning they'd been eliminated before performing.

There were also two strong country performances, including a solo version of a Tim McGraw and Faith Hill classic.

Who Went Home on American Idol?

Monday's (April 6) episode of American Idol was a continuation of last week's surprise non-elimination of two contestants. Some sort of voting issue prevented results from being announced then, so right at the start, two singers were sent home.

Julian Kalel and Jake Thistle were eliminated from American Idol at the beginning of the episode.

After that, singers delivered a mix of mainstream '90s pop, rock and country, including covers of "Heads Carolina, Tails California" by Hanna Harper and "It's Your Love," by Lucas Leon.

At the end, two bottom vote-getters were identified, Rae and Jesse Findling. Richie got to save one and he picked Rae.

Totaled up, these singers went home:

Julián Kalel
Jake Thistle
Jesse Findling
