If the coaches on this season of American Idol look familiar, it’s because they are.
Season 21 of American Idol featured a blast from the past. Along with Season 1 runner-up Justin Guarini, a few other familiar faces returned to the show for Hollywood Week – including but not limited to Clay Aiken, Jordin Sparks, and David Archuleta.
Additionally, Phillip Phillips from Season 11, Catie Turner from Season 16, and Season 20’s Noah Thompson served as mentors for the Season 21 hopefuls.
As of Sunday, April 16, only 26 contestants remain in the competition, and the stakes are high. With little time left until the Season 21 finale, American Idol producers recently called in celebrity reinforcements.
Guest mentors Allen Stone and Noah Cyrus joined the cast and crew of American Idol at Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii to offer a few words of advice to the Final 26.
