Season 21 of "American Idol" is almost coming to a close. With a shocking Top 3 announcement earlier this week, fans could not wait anymore for the Grand Finale to come!
As preparation for the new winners' arrival, "American Idol" has prepared a star-studded line-up that would be appearing on the Season 21 Grand Finale.

Among the first people announced was former "American Idol" judge Keith Urban, who will also serve as a mentor for the Top 3 finalists. Urban served as a judge on Season 12 and 15. As reported, he would also be performing on stage, too.
The three judges - Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan - were also reported to take the stage, too. Notably, Richie and Perry performed a week ago at the coronation concert of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Perry sang "Roar" and "Firework" while Richie performed "All Night Long" and "Easy," for which the latter earned criticisms on social media about his voice.
The "American Idol" Grand Finale would also be a homecoming episode because not only will the Top 12 of this season come back for a performance, but Season 2 alumni Rubben Studdard and Clay Aiken will be returning for a number.
Meanwhile, James Blunt, Jazmine Sullivan, Ellie Goulding, Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon, Jelly Roll, and Lauren Daigle, will also be there.
TLC and Pitbull are also in attendance. ACM Awards Female Artist of the Year Lainey Wilson is also making a huge song number as well as pop icon Kylie Minogue, who recently revealed that she would be releasing her new album, "Tensions."
