For those who might miss the season finale, don’t worry, American Idol will be available to stream the following day on Hulu. The only downside to having to wait is the fear of having the winner revealed thanks to social media. So again, if a fan has to wait – stay off social media.
While hoping to hear his name called, Jamal Roberts recently shared a special moment with fans when he posted a picture of his daughter.
