American Idol Season 24 is heating up—and all eyes are on Rae Boyd after a dramatic save that nearly sent her home.
During last week’s intense Judges’ Song Contest, Rae landed in the bottom two alongside Jesse Findling after America’s vote. She delivered a powerful performance of “Love Will Lead You Back” (chosen by Carrie Underwood), while Jesse performed “Wonderwall” by Oasis, selected by Lionel Richie.
In a moment, Lionel—who won the Judges’ Song Contest—used his power to save Rae, sending Jesse home and giving Rae another shot in the competition.
Fans Show Up Big for Rae
Since that near-elimination, fans have been rallying hard behind Rae.
On social media, especially Instagram, support has exploded:
- “Rae all the way!”
- “Team Rae!!! Let’s go!!!”
While online hype doesn’t always guarantee votes, the energy is undeniable—and it could make all the difference as the competition tightens.
Who’s Still in the Running?
Rae is now part of a stacked Top 11, including:
Braden Rumfelt, Brooks, Chris Tungseth, Daniel Stallworth, Hannah Harper, Jordan McCullough, Keyla Richardson, Kyndal, Lucas Leon, and Philmon Lee.
Fan chatter suggests Rae, Braden, Brooks, and Hannah are among the most supported—but only official votes will decide who stays.
What to Expect on Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night
The upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night promises a massive show:
- Mentorship and performances from rock legends Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo
- The official announcement of the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees
- A teased surprise performance right at the start of the episode 👀
By the end of the night, the Top 9 will be revealed—and with no judges’ save left, two contestants will go home.
High Stakes for Rae
After her shocking brush with elimination, Rae now faces one of her toughest moments yet. Despite her standout vocals and stage presence, nothing is guaranteed in a season this competitive.
The big question: Can her fans turn their support into votes—and keep her in the game?
One thing’s certain… this episode is set to be unforgettable
