American Idol’s Top 26 Performances from Hawaii
The Top 26 of American Idol Season 21 is underway, and the contestants have made their way to Hawaii to perform for viewer votes. The performances were filmed at the Disney Aulani Resort & Spa in January and will air on Sunday night’s episode on ABC at 8pm ET/PT.
The singers were divided into two groups and performed on two nights, with a celebrity mentor for each night. On night one, singer-songwriter Allen Stone mentored thirteen contestants by providing guidance on their performances.
Stone, originally from Chewelah, Washington, grew up in a religious family and was raised on gospel music as the son of a pastor. His breakthrough moment came in 2011 with his song “Unaware,” which led to his signing with Capitol Records.
Stone has released five albums since then and frequently goes on tour. He has also previously appeared on “American Idol” as both a performer and competitor.
Stone’s knowledge and experience in music served as an asset to the contestants he mentored. The performers he worked with included Elise Kristine, Oliver Steele, Matt Wilson, Kaeyra, PJAE, Zachariah Smith, Mariah Faith, Emma Bussee, Warren Peay, Nailyah Serenity, Haven Madison, and Lucy Love. All of whom were critiques by judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan.
