American Idol season 23 fans have taken to Instagram to reveal which of the Top 3 finalists--Breanna Nix, Jamal Roberts, or John Foster--they'll be voting for in the May 18 finale. Breanna, Jamal, and John advanced to the finale after American Idol season 23's Disney Heroes & Villains Night, during which Slater Nalley and Thunderstorm Artis' journeys came to an end. Now the Top 3 will battle it out during the live coast-to-coast finale in order to be crowned the next American Idol.

American Idol season 23 fans have taken to Instagram to reveal which of the Top 3 finalists--Breanna Nix, Jamal Roberts, or John Foster--they'll be voting for in the May 18 finale, and they've overwhelmingly chosen Jamal.

In an Instagram post promoting the American Idol season 23 finale, fans flooded the comments section with their choices for the winner, and the overwhelming majority picked Jamal. Season 21 finalist Lucy Love wrote, "Jamal!! Congratulations in advance." Another fan gushed, "Who else is excited for @officialjamalroberts to become the next American idol. Now we are voting all 3 ways and telling our family & friends. Let’s have our votes ready!!!! #teamjamal."

A fan raved, "Team Jamal. This man can sing any genre of music. Hands down." Another fan declared, "JAMAL IS THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!," while many others added "Team Jamal" as their comments. While some of American Idol's Instagram followers on the post wrote that they'll be voting for Breanna or John, the consensus was that they wanted Jamal to win.

What American Idol Fans' Instagram Comments Mean For The Finale

American Idol Fans Have To Vote For Their Favorites

Although many American Idol season 23 fans wrote that they want Jamal to win, their comments mean nothing if they don't vote. However, if these fans are representative of the larger American Idol audience, and they do actually vote, it seems that Jamal could win the competition. Of course, it's possible that Breanna and John have a lot of fans who don't use social media, but Jamal was so overwhelmingly the favorite on that American Idol Instagram post that he seems to be the frontrunner.
