And then there were 10.
“American Idol” is down to the final 10 hopefuls, with two singers getting eliminated on the April 28 episode, which featured Season Three winner Fantasia serving as guest mentor.
Ché, who sang Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own,” and Filo, who performed the “Dreamgirls” song “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” by (among others) “American Idol” alum Jennifer Hudson, were sent packing, with both failing to secure enough votes to remain on the show.

“American Idol” airs Sunday and Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, with each episode streaming the next day on Hulu.
Here’s a look at the final 10 singers in the competition, along with the songs they performed during the April 28 episode, as the fans now control who stays, who goes, and who remains in the hunt to become the next champion.
Breanna Nix
She sang “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again” by Danny Gokey, who competed on the eighth season of “American Idol.”
Canaan James Hill
Hill covered “Goodness of God” by CeCe Winans.
Gabby Samone
Samone showed off her pipes on “A Song for You” by Donny Hathaway.
Jamal Roberts
Roberts showed he’s a force to be reckoned with with his take on “Heal” by Tom Odell.
John Foster
Bold choice? Maybe, but it paid off. Foster covered “American Idol” champion and current judge Carrie Underwood‘s “I Told You So,” originally from Randy Travis.
Josh King
King is hardly all by himself in the final 10, where he landed after his rendition of “All By Myself,” a classic that has been done by Eric Carmen and, more recently, Céline Dion.
Kolbi Jordan
Jordan’s take on “Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland helped propel her into the top 10.
Mattie Pruitt
Pruitt paid homage to original “American Idol” winner Kelly Clarkson by singing her hit “Because of You.”
Slater Nalley
Nalley performed “Angel from Montgomery” by John Prine.
Thunderstorm Artis
Artis went deep into the archives, choosing to cover the Animals’ classic “House of the Rising Sun.”
