Reed Grimm in top 24
This frame is from Wednesday night's American Idol final elimination show. Reed Grimm is listening as the judges share their ideas before telling him he is one of the lucky contestant moving into the top 24.

In an emotional recap of Grimm’s journey from his audition in Pittsburg to his solo performance in Las Vegas, American Idol viewers traveled with him the whole distance Wednesday night.

The judges reminded Grimm they are looking for a singer and confidently told him he has what it takes.

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez agreed with fellow judge Randy Jackson about Grimm's considerable talent.
