Dozens of talented artists from all walks have life have gone head-to-head in an epic battle of the ballads on this classic show. But few have come out on top. Season 21 of American Idol has come and is nearing its end!

Ultimately, it’s up to viewers to decide which unlucky artists are going home and who's still got a shot at the $250,000 grand prize.

Here’s how to vote for your favorite contestant on Season 21 of American Idol.

The Season 21 finale is rapidly approaching (it airs May 21, 2023, to be exact), and the finalists are drawing closer to the finish line. Following each episode, viewers are tasked — once again — with choosing who survives elimination.

To vote for your favorite singer, text the American Idol contestant’s designated number to 21523. (More on those designated numbers in a moment!)

You can also visit the American Idol voting site to cast your vote or use the American Idol app. You are allowed to cast up to 10 votes with each of the above methods, which means you can help your favorite singer(s) out with a total of 30 votes each time voting is open.

• Megan Danielle: Text “10” to 21523
• Iam Tongi: Text “12” to 21523
