This is getting exciting,Idolfriends.

He is so close it’s heartbreaking!

Thankfully, there are some big wins for contestants betting it all onAmerican Idolin the mix, too.

Here’s the next batch of singers we’ll be seeing again in Hollywood.

Some might surprise you in both good and bad ways.

So that’s fun.

Amanda Mena / 18 / Boston, Mass.

“Golden Slumbers” by The Beatles

Idolwastes zero time getting into a great audition.

Can Amanda Mena sing me this song every night?

Just kidding, then I’d be crying all the time.

Her rendition of this Beatles song is so freaking gorgeous!

There’s so much control here, and her higher register sounds strong.

It’s an easy yes the judges would like to see more from Amanda.

We’ll see how they do solo!

Hannah Everhart / 17 / Canton, Miss.

She’s naturally gifted, but the judges agree that she needs to push herself more.

She reveals much more depth to her voice and shows off a little more energy in this second song.

The judges move her forward to the next round, but tell her to come prepared to work.

Calvin Upshaw / 26 / Marks, Miss.

“Falling Out” by Calvin Richardson

Idol’s coming for your emotions tonight.

Calvin has arrived at theAmerican Idolauditions looking for a second chance in life.

Calvin wants to be a positive example for him.

It will be “the experience of a lifetime,” Lionel assures him.

She has so much power and nuance for someone with seemingly zero training.

The dynamics in this song really show off what she can do.

Luke compares it to the surprise and excitement that came from Alejandro Aranda’s audition.

“I think she’s the damn winner ofAmerican Idol, period,” he says.

He definitely brings the party he even gets Luke Bryan up and dancing.

And then down on the floor dancing.

This show has gone off the rails at this point.

The boys don’t seem to have that problem.

They want to bring the dancing to Hollywood Week.

Luke Bryan is clapping within the first line; he’s so excited.

Lionel loves how “believable” Chayce is.

He gets three “yes” votes without any hesitation.

Like Casey though, you’d never know it once she starts singing.

It was an easy listen and that’s not something they get from everyone who walks on theIdoloval.

I’m already looking forward to hearing Cassandra sing again in Hollywood.

Willie Spence / 21 / Douglas, Ga.“Diamonds” by Rihanna

Willie!

Willie had a health scare not too long ago and is working on getting himself healthier.

Since then, he’s working on other goals, too: going after a singing career.

The guy has a powerful, crystal clear voice, and he nails this Rihanna song.

Luke says that he never wanted the performance to end; he was enjoying it so much.

Lionel tells Willie that he had chills from the first note and was impressed by his phrasing choices.

He calls him “an undeniable star.”

That’s a good audition, people.

We still have several audition episodes to go, but do you see any front-runners in this bunch?
