Including McCormick, the other five contestants were also sent home. Host Ryan Seacrest announced the result after being thrown by the judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie.
Katy Perry, one of the judges, said, “I’m just so shaking right now; the truth is America, you guys have the votes, and if you’re not voting, you’re not using your voice. Your faves aren’t safe, so vote for who you want to see from now on.”

Who went home after revealing the top 20 list:
Poplar teen singer Iam Tongi gave an excellent performance on the show. Kate Perry talked about his performance and said, “I guess this is called the Iam Tongi Show now; what you’re giving us is transcending everything and hitting everyone in a certain spot. … Watching you become a star feels like I’m watching a Disney movie.”
Bryan also praised the Iam Tongi along with Kate. He said to Tongi as “God gave you the magic, buddy; enjoy it.”
Not only McCormick, but there is also much other content whose journey ended. Malik Heard, Dawson Wayne, Emma Busse, Elise Kristine, and PJAE failed to make their name in the last top 20.
