For starters, there is a new episode of American Idol airing tonight on ABC, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. And given that only 12 singers will be moving forward, voting is extremely important.

With more than enough time to cast votes, it appears that each person can vote 30 times.
To vote for your favorite singer, just head over the AmericanIdol.com/vote to support contestants like Russell or Nya.

As for the method of voting, fans can support their favorite singers by texting 21523, the website, or the app. And each method allows fans to vote up to ten times. With three ways to vote, that means a staggering 30 votes can come from a single fan.
Emmy Russell Discusses Pressure Of ‘American Idol’
During a recent episode of American Idol, Russell took a massive gamble when she decided to perform her original song “Skinny.” It was the same song that landed her a spot on American Idol during her audition. Believing it was the right song for the moment, Russell recalled feeling nervous when waiting to hear if she made it to the next round. “I was back there and I was just thinking so many good people have gone home, and so I was like, ‘Well, if that person went home, and I surely might go home.'”

With the pressure mounting, Russell admitted, “I was preparing for the no, but I knew that I’d walk away with a song that I believed in and felt like me, so I was really peaceful. That’s not normally how I feel, but I felt peaceful.”
Moving on to the next round, be sure to tune in tonight, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite artist, like Russell, as she looks to become the next American Idol.
