With less than two hours to vote for which “American Idol” contestants will make it into the top 3 of season 23, fans of Breanna Nix will have to act fast on May 12, 2025. Voting opens coast-to-coast at 8 p.m. Eastern time and closes during the last commercial break, around 9:50 p.m. Eastern time.
If Nix makes it through, she will get to head home to Denton, Texas for celebrations, a live concert and a little time with her family and friends before competing in next week’s finale. Here’s how viewers can vote for the 25-year-old mom…
Three Ways to Vote for Breanna Nix on May 12, 2025
Viewers have three ways to vote on May 12, 2025. You can cast up to 10 votes for Nix on each platform — totaling up to 30 votes.
The first way to vote is through ABC’s website. The second way is via the “American Idol” app, either via Apple for iPhones or via Google for Androids. Both the site and app require you to sign in to vote; you can create a free account that works for both platforms or use an existing MyDisney account. On the site and the app, find where Nix is listed among the contestants and choose how many votes you want to cast for her (up to 10 votes in each place).
On the website and app, you do not have to wait until Nix performs to cast your votes. But if you change your mind as the show goes on, you can change the number of votes and who you vote for as long as you click to “save” your changes before voting ends.
The third way to vote for Nix is by texting her unique contestant number — 9 — to 21523 on your cell phone. As with the other voting options, you can cast up to 10 votes for Nix there, too.
Breanna Nix is the Last Female Contestant Left in Season 23
After Nix made it into the top 5 on May 11, she posted a photo of herself performing and thanked everyone who’s voted for her, marveling at how far she’s come since her audition.
Nix, who shares four-year-old son Emerson with her husband Austin, wrote, “I truly have no words—just deep gratitude. 😭😭 Thank you for believing in me, for supporting my dreams, and for standing by my family. To be here in the Top 5 is surreal. This has been the most unforgettable experience, and to celebrate it on Mother’s Day? Even more special. Thank you guys. 😭🙏🏼”
In another post on May 12, Nix chatted live with fans from the makeup and hair room, celebrating the “amazing” team who gets everyone ready. She exclaimed, “I’m the only frickin’ girl here today — scary!”
The May 12 show will be the second Disney-themed night in a row, so each contestant will sing two selections from the Disney catalog. They each worked with guest mentor Lin-Manuel Miranda on their selections, and he’s expected to be in-studio to cheer them on and provide feedback.
