Each week, American Idol continues to prove the country is filled with talented singers, and Sunday’s episode of the ABC series was no exception.
There were many highlights from Episode 3 (week two of Season 17), including the return of a familiar face with Season 16 contestant Laine Hardy, who accompanied family friend Ashton Gill for her audition. The night also saw judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan getting more involved in the audition process through dancing, standing, and even a showing a little bit of envy over the talent.
We’re rounding up some of the night’s best, which included a lot of country crooners, original artists, and much more. Check out the highlights below, and don’t miss round two for the week on Monday night.
