Sunday's episode of American Idol turned out to be the end of the road for Gabby Samone and Mattie Pruitt. Their simultaneous eliminations leave just one woman still in the running to win Season 23: Breanna Nix.

Breanna Nix is a 25-year-old from Denton, Texas, who has made it to American Idol season 23's Top 7. She introduced herself to the judges' panel as a stay-at-home mom during her audition.

John Foster ended Season 23 of American Idol as runner-up behind Jamal Roberts, and he’s not looking to let the momentum slow down anytime soon. Following the Sunday, May 18, finale, the teenager already has plans for what’s next.

Tonight was the night when the search for the next singing sensation revealed the winner of American Idol for 2025 from among the Top 3 finalists: Breanna Nix, Jamal Roberts and John Foster.
