The Monday, April 22 live episode of “American Idol” Season 22 proved to be the end of the road for two fan-fave singers: Jayna Elise and Roman Collins. They were the only artists in the Top 12 that failed to earn enough votes from viewers to make it into next week’s all-important Top 10. Host Ryan Seacrest delivered the unfortunate news in front of judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. The guest mentor for “Billboard #1 Hits” night was Meghan Trainor.
Throughout the competition, Jayna sang tunes like “The Climb” (Auditions round), “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” (Showstopper round), “Confident” (Top 24 round), “My All”, “All I Wanted”, “I Have Nothing” (Top 14 round) and “Diamonds” (Top 12 round). The 22-year-old performer from Washington, D.C. actually began her journey last year on “Idol,” but was eliminated prior to the Season 21 live shows. The good news is that she made it much further this time around.

“American Idol” returns to ABC on Sunday, February 18, but they’ve already released one tear-jerker of an audition featuring Gilbert, Arizona’s McKenna Breinholt. The 25-year old enters her audition telling judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, “I actually was adopted,” when asked if music runs in the family. At age 21 she sat down with her adopted parents and asked for any information they had on her birth mom. From there an emotional journey began. Watch McKenna’s audition below.
“Her name was Amy Ross Lopez,” says McKenna. “She was a musician and she had passed away.
