After five episodes of auditions, “American Idol” moved on to Hollywood Week on Sunday. March 24. This episode, and the one on Monday (March 25), chronicles the competition between the 150 contestants who earned tickets to Hollywood when they auditioned for the three judges. There, they had to sing three more times for Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, who then cut the field down to just 40. These two episodes were taped months ago and we’ve unearthed the results. Spoilers ahead
The Top 40 contenders were flown to the Disney Aulani resort in Honolulu, Hawaii at the end of January where they were competed to make the top 20. The episode featuring those make-or-break performances will air on Sunday, March 31. We know that the three judges put 11 men through to the Top 20.
And we found out that just eight of them number among the 14 artists who will sing for America’s votes on the first live show on April 14. Once the live playoffs of “American Idol” season 17 begin, you will be able to predict the outcome of each episode in our predictions center. You can already make forecasts for the outcomes on such reality TV shows as “Survivor,” plus the winners of the Academy of Country Music Awards and both the daytime and primetime Emmy Awards.
