The American Idol season 24 'Ohana Round is a brand-new phase of the competition, which takes place in Hawaii. According to an ABC press release, the 'Ohana Round was filmed at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii. It was designed to be the ultimate focus group, narrowing down the Top 30 to the Top 20 before America's Vote.

In the 'Ohana Round, the Top 30 American Idol season 24 contestants will perform for industry tastemakers, who collectively have nearly 149 million followers. They include Kaniyia Brown & Terry McCaskill (social media personality duo), Sasha Farber (dancer and choreographer), Anthony Gargiula (artist and music creator), Loren Gray (singer and actress), Shirley Halperin (co-editor-in-chief of Rolling Stone), Cheryl Porter (singer and vocal coach phenomenon), and Kelly Sutton (country music personality and Grand Ole Opry announcer).

In addition, the contestants will sing for their peers, family members, and friends. They will then be narrowed down from the Top 30 to the Top 20, and compete for America's Vote.

American Idol season 24 has been thrilling so far, with so many phenomenal singers. It's going to be very exciting to see the Top 30 contestants make their way through Hollywood Week in order to advance to the 'Ohana Round. Lionel, Carrie, and Luke have done an extraordinary job of finding the next group of American Idol contestants. They just might've found the next superstar.

American Idol airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
