The “American Idol” judges are weighing in on why they think any of the top three contenders could take the title.

Breanna Nix, a 25-year-old stay-at-home mom from Texas, is one of three singers who will compete Sunday night with a one in three chance of being named the next “American Idol.”

“American Idol” is now down to its top three contestants following a tough night of competition.

“I think Breanna could win ‘American Idol’ because she’s still really shell-shocked that she’s gotten this far,” said judge Luke Bryan. “If she were to win it, I think the level of voice and the quality of voice that she has, I mean, she just owns her moment.”

Also in the mix is John Foster, an 18-year-old college student from Louisiana.

“I believed in John Foster from the moment I saw him, heard him sing, because he’s kind of the epitome of, it’s the ‘it’ kind of factor that somebody has,” said judge Carrie Underwood. “I’m so proud of him. I think he’s just got everything in his corner. There’s something so wholesome and sweet about him that I feel like people really love and connect with.”

And then there’s Jamal Roberts, a 27-year-old P.E. teacher from Mississippi.

“When Jamal opens his mouth, he sounds like Jamal. He can sing a Disney song, he sounds like Jamal,” said judge Lionel Richie. “And that’s the characteristic that I love the most with him, because I’m on the edge of my seat going, ‘What’s he going to do now?’ That’s a great performer.”

We’ll see all three — and lots of famous guest performers — take the stage live for the big, three-hour season 23 finale of “American Idol” Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of ABC, Hulu, and this ABC station.
