And then there were 10.
โAmerican Idolโ is down to the final 10 hopefuls, with two singers getting eliminated on the April 28 episode, which featured Season Three winner Fantasia serving as guest mentor.
Chรฉ, who sang Robynโs โDancing on My Own,โ and Filo, who performed the โDreamgirlsโ song โAnd I Am Telling You Iโm Not Goingโ by (among others) โAmerican Idolโ alum Jennifer Hudson, were sent packing, with both failing to secure enough votes to remain on the show.
โAmerican Idolโย airs Sunday and Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, with each episode streaming the next day on Hulu.
Hereโs a look at the final 10 singers in the competition, along with the songs they performed during the April 28 episode, as the fans now control who stays, who goes, and who remains in the hunt to become the next champion.

Nalley performed โAngel from Montgomeryโ by John Prine.
