Season 24 of American Idol will come to a close with a three-hour finale celebration tonight, May 11th. Jordan McCullough paused from the frenzy of the competition to share a heartfelt message to his fellow finalists, Hannah Harper and Keyla Richardson, on Mother’s Day.

“Watching you continue to chase your dreams while also carrying the weight and responsibility of motherhood is beyond inspiring. You have been given a supernatural grace to do this. The Lord trust you both so much to carry out this promise! What a gift!”
Jordan emphasized how proud he is of Hannah and Keyla for the example they have set. He added:
“Your strength doesn’t just show in the big moments but in the everyday sacrifices, the consistency, the perseverance and the love you pour into your families!”
