AMERICAN Idol has faced yet another major cut as the Top 14 finalists were revealed.
Host Ryan Seacrest announced the results live Monday from American Idol's studio in Hollywood. Voters chose the first 10 of the Top 14 before the Idol judges picked the remaining four finalists.

The six contestants eliminated were Mackenzie Sol, Jennifer Jeffries, Ajii, Quintavious Johnson, Kennedy Reid, and Odell Bunton Jr.
Fans were outraged when the judges picked Jordan, Jayna, Nya, and Roman to advance over Odell, the first platinum ticket winner of the season.
"JORDAN OVER ODELL? We are fuming," one X user shared as another wrote simply, "Odell was robbed."
"This is exactly why I stopped watching #AmericanIdol. There is no way Odell should not have made it to the top 14," another viewer slammed the show.
