Seemingly, the first half of the Idol finale was dedicated to Jelly Roll, who helped mentor and select the final three’s first song and later performed the much-anticipated duet with the evening’s eventual winner, who covered his song earlier in the season. But Jelly Roll was also performing in Detroit, Michigan for Post Malone‘s Big Ass Stadium Tour, where he shocked the crowd with an appearance from Eminem. How is this even possible? Is Jelly Roll a Time Lord with a Tardis traveling through space and time? It’s time for us to solve this Doctor Who-esque mystery!
How Was Jelly Roll In LA and Detroit on the Same Night?
The American Idol Season 23 was a culmination of all things shocking. Not only was Jamal Roberts’ victory a welcome surprise, Jelly Roll’s usage in the finale has made many speculate on just how things unfolded. American Idol, which began its coast-to-coast broadcast at 8:00pm EST, featured Jelly Roll during his last responsibility as artist in residence, mentoring the final three and picking a “favorite song” of theirs to sing in the first round of performances. Then, Jelly Roll performed a much-anticipated duet with Jamal Roberts, following his rendition of Jelly Roll’s “Liar” earlier this season. It was a monumental performance that may have helped catapult Jamal to become the night’s victor.
Jelly Roll Wasn’t The Only One In Two Places at Once







In addition to Jelly Roll’s dual appearances, superstar guest Patti LaBelle was notably present on the Idol finale, performing a duet with Kolbi Jordan, as well as performing as part of “The Queens Tour.” Alongside legends Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, and Stephanie Mills, the powerhouse vocalist was on tour at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Thanks to the comment section on the Instagram video, some social media sleuths spilled the tea with comments like, “She’s at her concert right now.. I feel bamboozled. My cousin sent me a video in Tennessee.”
Of the celebrity collaborations on the night, it’s difficult to say that they broke time and space like Patti and Jelly Roll, American Idol still developed an exciting finale with wall-to-wall performances. Unless there is a magical universe in which we find out that we were completely wrong and these performances were not part of the pre-recorded portions of the show, the magic of television has been revealed!
American Idol is available to stream on Hulu.
