If You Were Wondering...

How the Top 10 will be determined from the 36 semi-finalists:


It's now up to America to decide who advances in the competition and moves one step closer to become the next American Idol.
The 36 hopefuls will be split into three groups of 12, and for three consecutive weeks, one group will perform each week.

The live performance shows air Tuesday, February 17 8/7c, Wednesday, February 25 8/7c and Tuesday, March 3 8/7c on FOX.

At the end of each performance show, viewers will be able to vote for their favorite contestants for at least two hours in their region.

Fans can use the branded toll-free telephone numbers until 12:00 AM ET/PT (11:00PM CT/MT), subject to time zone restrictions.
Additionally, for two hours at the end of the show in their region, AT&T Wireless subscribers can use their cell phones and text the word "Vote" to the four-digit short number representing the contestant of their choice.

Then on the weekly live results shows airing Wednesday, February 18 8/7c, Thursday, February 26 8/7c and Wednesday, March 4 8/7c, Ryan Seacrest will announce the three semi-finalists -- the top male, the top female and the next top vote-recipient -- America has chosen to move on in the competition.

On Thursday, March 5 8/7c, the special "Wild Card" episode will feature the judges' favorite remaining contestants battling it out live for a coveted spot in the next phase of the competition.

  1. Maybe I'm a little slow, but if the results are on Wednesday, why is there a Thursday episode?

  2. AI is only on Tuesday and Wednesday so far. So there is NO THURSDAY EPISODE!! There is a website that I have gone to that kind of gives you an idea of who may be in the top three!! www.dialidol.com When you go there, click on the predictions area at the top and it will give you somewhat of may be happening tonight. By the looks of it, Danny and Michael are going through and Alexis for the girls so we shall see tonight. This site is not an official site but they are pretty accurate. Once again, THEY have nothing to do with the official AI site!!!!
