American Idol 2024: Vote for your FAVORITE Top 24 Contestants
The American Idol 2024 Top 24 will perform for YOUR VOTES for the FIRST TIME next Monday and Tuesday (April 7 & 8). The show will move out of the mainland to the Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii, which is where the Top 24 or so have performed nearly every season of the ABC era. Tori Kelly and Jelly Roll will serve as mentors.
An abbreviated Hollywood Round is over. The traditional “Hollywood Week” seemed to be only a “Hollywood Day” as two rounds–a solo and duet round–condensed into one mega “Idol Arena.” Over 100 singers competed for only 56 spots. After the judges–Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan–called each singer to the stage one by one at random to perform a song of their own choosing the panel chose the Showstoppers Top 56.

The following night, 56 singers took the stage backed by a full band in front of a studio audience to sing a song they chose. From there, the panel chose the Top 24, sometimes pitting singers ahead of each other in head to head performances to determine which singer would go through.

It’s worth noting that photos on the ABC press site depict SEVERAL singers sitting in pairs in front of the judges. Not all of them were shown in pairs singing off on TV:
