American Idol Season 8
I have been a fan of AI since Season 1, so am excited again that Season 8 starts airing few weeks ago. This Season's format is a little bit different from previous seasons, they choose a total of Top 36 semifinalists, and divide them into 3 groups of 12 to perform every week. Each week the male, female, and the next top vote getter with the highest number of votes will make it into the top 12. The remaining 3 seats in the top 12 will be choosen by judges at the Wildcard round among those who were eliminated.
At the moment of posting, we had already seen the first 3 contestants who advanced to the final top 12, the second 3 contestants result will be out tomorrow, and I'm really hoping that my favourites will get to advance to final tomorrow, finger cross......
Anyway, here is the photos of the Top 36 semifinalists:
