Hollywood Week on “American Idol” season 24 is complete. It’s time to move on to a new round of the competition: Ohana Week. With Hollywood Week being finished, the Top 30 on “American Idol” 2026 are heading to Hawaii for this new round. Before that takes place, we are taking a look at these hopefuls and doing some power rankings for the top 10 singers heading into Ohana Week on “American Idol” season 24.
1. Brooks Rosser
For me, it’s how humble Brooks is that puts him at the top of this list. I don’t think he thinks he deserves to be there, and is shocked to hear he is moving on. However, his performance during Hollywood Week was amazing. His voice is so unique and just does something for me. I think he will appeal to voters and make it far in the competition.
2. Julián Kalel
Luke pointed it out, but that smile from Julián when the crowd first started cheering for him. That moment was so touching and moved him up the rankings for me. He has an amazing voice, and his story is touching.
3. Philmon Lee
Was that Teddy Swims singing himself? Philmon’s voice is so strong, and he’s just so calm and cool up there on that stage. He just seems like one of those good guys you want to root for to do well in life.
4. Kyndal Inskeep
I’ll admit, the start of this song was a little rough for me. Her hand movements annoyed me too, but she’s used to playing the guitar while performing, so she probably didn’t know what to do with them. When she gets into this one, she is great. Her voice is so good, and I love her vibe.
5. Braden Rumfelt
He’s a good-looking fella, so that will get the voters on his side. He then has a really standout voice. I think he will be well-liked this season.
6. Jesse Findling
It’s all about the story on “American Idol,” and Jesse Findling has one. To go from having a stutter to an absolutely amazing voice with such control is shocking. He performed so well last night, and I think he’ll go far.
7. Sheldon Riley
I think Sheldon has an amazing voice. However, I think he has a lot of confidence issues. He was beaten down before, so in his mind, he needs that costume or mask to hide behind. Can he gain that confidence to make it farther in the competition? Let’s hope so!
8. Bella Emry
They didn’t show much of Bella’s performance during Hollywood Week, but I just love her voice. She has that cool, indie style voice. I also think she has a cool vibe and hope she makes it far.
9. Chris Tungseth
For my Power Rankings heading into Hollywood Week, I had Chris at the top of the list. For Hollywood Week, his performance lacked a little something for me. I still think he’s great, and I loved seeing him congratulate and cheer on the other singers while in the Golden Room. I’m a fan, but he’s got to step it up!
10. Chloe Lauren
I’ve been on the fence with Chloe. I think she has a great voice. She has that indie style too, and she makes it work. Her confidence has been lacking, though. Again, she seems like she doesn’t know how she made it this far. However, when they put her in the sing-off last night, something clicked. Her confidence took over, and she nailed the performance. I think with the pressure on, she could shine bright.
Who do you think are the best singers heading into Ohana Week on “American Idol” season 24?
