American Idol Season 24: Meet the Top 20 Mentors Keke Palmer and Brad Paisley

American Idol has enlisted the help of two well-known mentors, Keke Palmer and Brad Paisley, for the Top 20 round filmed in Hawaii. The competition, hosted by Ryan Seacrest and judged by Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood, will feature Palmer and Paisley coaching the contestants for their upcoming performances. The special episodes shot at Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa will air on March 16 and March 23, with Season 24 airing on ABC and streaming on Hulu the following day. The mentors shared the news in a fun social media video filmed at the resort, adding a playful touch to the announcement.

Brad Paisley, a Grammy-winning country artist and Grand Ole Opry member, and Keke Palmer, a talented singer and actress with a diverse career, bring their expertise to the mentoring role on American Idol. The duo's experience and skills make them a perfect fit for guiding the contestants through this crucial round. The Top 20 performances were recorded earlier this year, and viewers can catch the episodes in March to see how the contestants fare with the guidance of Palmer and Paisley.
