‘American Idol’: Keyla & Hannah React to Spending Mother’s Day Away From Kids
The finalists said they were away from their children while preparing for the Season 24 finale, and viewers will choose the winner by vote tonight.
On Monday, May 11, American Idol Season 24 finalists Hannah Harper and Keyla Richardson compete in the finale after spending Mother's Day away from their children to prepare for the competition.
Hannah, mother to three boys, and single mom Keyla admitted the separation was difficult, with Hannah stating, "Tonight, I'm extra emotional being away from my boys."
Celebrating the one-year anniversary of her song "String Cheese," Harper reflected on how the track, written after her third child's birth and released on Mother's Day 2025, resonates with mothers worldwide.
Viewers vote tonight as Jordan McCullough joins Harper and Richardson in the final three, while Alicia Keys serves as guest judge alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
In Pensacola, local venues including Seville Quarter and Sammy Barker host watch parties, while fans vote via AmericanIdol.com/Vote or by texting 20 for Richardson.
