Just as with last week’s 10 performers, this week’s artists were granted some help from advisors Keke Palmer and Brad Paisley. Judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, Carrie Underwood have had all the power thus far in the competition, but now it’s in America’s hands.
Host Ryan Seacrest announced that, this season, there are three ways to cast your vote. Like in seasons past, viewers can submit their votes via text message and on the American Idol website.
Additionally, Seacrest revealed that the American Idol app is a thing of the past. Instead, viewers can now vote on social media. To do so, fans need to navigate to Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok, find the pinned post, and comment the first name of the artist they want to support.
Viewers at home can cast 10 votes per artist per method, which adds up to 50 possible votes for their favorite artist. Voting will be open until 6:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, March 24.
During the March 30th episode of the series, the Top 14 will be revealed amid the first live show of the season.
