[QUOTE="SRL, post: 244013, member: 701"] I just read that they're changing the way the top 12 are chosen. Do you think David Cook would have made it to the top 12 had this system been in place last year? He didn't seem to stand out until a few episodes once the top 24 started. I could see it helping good singers who for some reason didn't get the vote one week. Wikipedia: However, the semifinals will see the biggest change as the Wild Card round returns for the first time since [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Idol_(season_3)"][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Season 3[/COLOR][/U][/URL]. Also, there will be 36 semi-finalists picked instead of 24. They will be divided into 3 groups of 12. The groups of 12 will perform on Tuesday. At the conclusion of each results show on Wednesday, the male and female semifinalists who received the highest number of home viewers votes for their previous night's performance will instantly become a Top 12 finalist. In addition, another semifinalist that had received the next-highest number of votes after the performance episode regardless of gender will also become a finalist. In the wild card round, the next highest finishers plus other eliminated semi-finalists will return for one more chance to compete. The judges will pick the 3 performers left that they consider the best. No voting by the public will be done at this stage [/QUOTE]
