They're moving on to the final in "Idol"

"Idol" has reached the semifinal and in the battle for the final spots – which this year has been expanded to three – the contestants had to deliver two performances each. And it became an emotional evening where the jury favorites finally moved on.

In the first performance, the task for the participants was to pay tribute to their heroes, and in round two, it was the viewers who made the song choice.

Joel Nordenberg, who chose to pay tribute to his mom Tove with Bruno Mars' "Just the way you are", once again heard from the jury what a star he is. After the fans' choice, there were standing ovations and even more praise.

We've never had an R'n'B singer as good as you in Sweden, said Anders Bagge.

Margaux Flavet, who is the big favorite among betting companies to win this year's "Idol", sang Billie Eilish's "What was I made for", dedicated to all those who feel loneliness and exclusion. Then, not a single eye was dry – neither among the artist, the jury, the host Pär Lernström, nor the audience.

Leo Tekiel sang "Thinkin bout you" by Frank Ocean to his little brother Adam and received praise from the jury for daring to choose a difficult song.

It highlights all the spectrums in your voice, said Anders Bagge.

Even Minou Nilsson, who sang the Beatles' "Let it be" to her grandmother Carina, was praised by the jury for her smart song choice.

Bad ass-bra, the best you've done, said Peg Parnevik.

When the viewers had their say, it was Joel Nordenberg, Margaux Flavet, and Minou Nilsson who received the most votes and are therefore clear for the final next week.

This means that the "Idol" journey is over for Leo Tekiel and Robin Sohlberg.

Joel Nordenberg, 21, Stockholm.

Margaux Flavet, 16, Stockholm.

Minou Nilsson, 18, Stockholm.
