Perhaps more than the performances, the most searched about keywords during American Idol season are: “who got eliminated from idol?” “who is going home on american idol?” or “who went home on idol?”
Clearly, while millions tune to the performances, the rest of America and the world just wants to know who got sent home and who is left to compete!
Going into the finals, the cuts for the semi-final round is brutal. The top 24 performs for America’s votes and from there will only get the Top 5 guys and the Top 5 girls.
Fourteen contestants will lose their chance to become this year’s American Idol. However, the producers are putting a twist to this drama. The judges can and will pick 2 or 3 more people to go into the final round of the competition making the magic 12 or 13.
From there, one will go home each week. The top 10 lucky ones will go on tour nationwide in the Summer.
Come back here on Thursday and every Thursday thereafter to find out the results!!
