American Idol fans know the show loves to throw curveballs at their contestants from time to time. But it looks like the audience got a surprise twist — and it's coming sooner than they would expect.

ABC’s official description for this new episode 5 of American Idol season 23 reads like this, “As the final auditions before Hollywood Week unfold, Idol hopefuls turn up the heat with electrifying performances that leave the judges stunned and eager for what’s to come.”

After a Samson teen sang his heart out to get that golden ticket weeks ago, he's now getting ready for a trip to Hollywood to perform in the idol arena.
