The duo performed “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” by Bill Medley And Jennifer Warnes with Gumball in an attempt to save themselves in the show’s final moments, but were ultimately unsuccessful, despite none of the judges accurately guessing their identities.
“It was great, we had a great time. It’s a lot of fun and the crowd is great. It’s nice to see everyone, it’s a good time,” Studdard said, while Aiken gushed about being compared to some of the judges’ guesses like Boyz II Men and K-Ci & JoJo.
Aiken and Studdard, both 45, competed in the second season of idol, which aired in 2003. Studdard was crowned the winner, but the narrow margin of his victory – just 134,000 votes – caused controversy at the time. However, the two singers have remained friends since then. In 2023 they started a joint tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their founding idol.
