Top 3 "American Idol" Contestants Greeted at Emotional Hometown Visits

Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, and Angie Miller traveled to their respective hometowns this past weekend and were greeted with open arms by their families. 

Candice Glover visited her hometown of St. Helena Island, South Carolina and was reunited with her parents and six siblings. She took part in a parade and concert. Glover sang three songs Wednesday, but her final song impressed the judges the most. The 'Idol' producers chose "Somewhere" from the musical "West Side Story" and Glover showed off her vocal range as she always does. The performance received a standing ovation from the judges.

Kree Harrison landed in her hometown of Woodville, Texas and was greeted by her sister. In her hometown package, it was mentioned that her father was killed in a plane crash and her mother was killed in a car crash. Harrison and her sister visited their childhood home. Harrison channeled her emotion when she performed the Rascal Flatts song "Here Comes Goodbye", a song chosen by the judges. Harrison told the story well and it was dubbed her best performance so far in the competition. Harrison also had a parade in honor of her and performed at a concert.

Angie Miller was greeted by her parents and brother in Beverly, Massachusetts. She visited the elementary school where she attended kindergarten and was greeted by a large crowd of people. She also participated in a parade and performed a concert. Miller also did an interview with the local television news station. The governor of Massachusetts declared May 4 as Angie Miller day. Nicki Minaj told Miller that she finally came "full circle" tonight, especially after her last performance of Emeli Sandé's song "Maybe"Miller was back on the piano, where she seems to be the most comfortable.

The top 2 will be revealed tomorrow on the results show which airs at 8 p.m. on FOX.
