Other special guests include: Gary Clark Jr., Nick Jonas and Mustard, Bebe Rexha, Patti LaBelle, Yolanda Adams and Kermit The Frog. While the last performer may raise some eyebrows, it’s clear that the 2-part season finale will be an ambitious conclusion to a competition that has kept fans on their toes. Caleb Lee Hutchinson, Maddie Poppe and Gabby Barrett will go head to head on Monday, and it is clear from Rucker’s tweet that it’ll be a night to remember.
