American Idol - Hollywood Round!

Hooray for Hollywood!

This year is structured differently than past years! We will have no group numbers. Each contestant will have a single audition. If they are selected in that audition they sail through to the final round. If not, they will get a second chance. The contestants are also allowed to use instruments in round 1, not sure about any other rounds.

This is moving so fast it's hard to keep up!

Here's who we have seen so far - Day One:
Brooke White - YES in round 1
David Hernandez - YES in round 1
Cardin McKinney - NO in round 1
Amanda Overmyer - YES in round 1
Alyssa Coco - not sure
Michael Sanfilippo - not sure

Day Two:
Josiah Leming - YES in round 1
Danny Noriega - YES in round 1
Ramielle Malubay - YES in round 1
Carly Smithson - YES in round 1
Michael Johns - YES in round 1
David Cook - YES in round 1
Robbie Carrico - YES in round 1
Syesha Mercado - NO in round 1

48 contestants got a free pass to the Final round!

Round Two coming up:
The contestants come onto the stage in groups of 10 or so and are told they must sing a capella, and then some are asked to step forward. Either the front or the back row is eliminated!

Final round:
David Archuleta - YES to Top 50
Kyle Ensley - YES to Top 50
Joey Catalano - NO to Top 50
Syesha Mercado - YES to Top 50

Tomorrow we get to meet the Top 24!
