Dallas' 'American Idol' Star's Hometown Video Debuts On Show

HOLLYWOOD, GA — The "American Idol" finale began Sunday night and that was the debut of Georgia finalist Caleb Lee Hutchinson's hometown video montage. Hutchinson, one of the show's final three contestants, returned home to Dallas from Hollywood Tuesday.

Once home, the City of Dallas threw a parade for Hutchinson. After the parade, "Hutch" returned the favor by throwing his hometown a little concert.

Earlier in the day, Hutch started off his brief visit back home with a 7 a.m. interview on 94.9 The Bull. At 8 a.m., he went to WSBTV, where he was interviewed and toured the station. Hutch continued his busy day with a return to South Paulding High School, where he was a student just last year. The school treated the former Spartan with a shower of red and gold during an all-out pep rally. An "American Idol" film crew followed Hutch around all day.

Monday night is the show's finale, where the world gets to see who will be crowned 2018's "American Idol."

Hutchinson will take on plucky Gabby Barrett and quirky guitarist Maddie Poppe. The finale will happen over two nights, Sunday and Monday. The show is on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.

Monday is the results show when the new American Idol will be crowned. Variety reports that other performers will include judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, along with Bebe Rexha, Nick Jonas and Mustard, Patti Labelle, Darius Rucker, Gary Clark Jr., Yolanda Adams and, of course, Kermit the Frog.

During Hutchinson's visit home, he performed the song he auditioned with, the Steeldrivers' "If it hadn't been for love."

Dallas Mayor Boyd Austin Jr. welcomed Georgia's "American Idol" star, Hutchinson, 19, home in style Tuesday night, offering him the key to the city and proclaiming May 15, 2018, officially Caleb Lee Hutchinson Day.
