Three Ways to Vote for Jamal Roberts on May 12, 2025
Viewers have three ways to vote on May 12, 2025. You can cast up to 10 votes for Roberts 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 Roberts is listed among the contestants and choose how many votes you want to cast for him (up to 10 votes in each place).
On the website and app, you do not have to wait until Roberts 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 as long as you click to “save” your changes before voting ends.
The third way to vote for Roberts is by texting his unique contestant number — 12 — to 21523 on your cell phone. As with the other voting options, you can cast up to 10 votes for Roberts there, too.

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.
