“American Idol” may be on a new network (ABC) but has the same host (Ryan Seacrest) and is following the same format that worked so well for 15 seasons on Fox. After five episodes devoted to the auditions, the show shifted to Hollywood where 169 hopefuls had to sing once again for the three judges: Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
The first of the Hollywood week episodes, in which the contestants sang in groups of 10 and solo, aired on March 26 and April 1. Only 50 of these contestants were given the chance to be showcased in solo performances that determined the top 24. Those Top 50 took to the stage at the Exchange club in downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 8.
The episode featuring these performances will air on April 2. If you can’t wait for the results, scroll down to see the roster of 26 men who performed, the songs they sung and their eventual...

The third night of the revival of “American Idol” on ABC promises more of the same from the show that launched the reality competition craze on TV. Follow along with our live blog as we recap the March 18 episode. Ryan Seacrest welcomes the hopeful contestants to the stage to sing for the panel of judges: pop princess Katy Perry, country superstar Luke Bryan and Oscar-winning singer/songwriter Lionel Richie.
While Seacrest oversaw the 15 seasons of “American Idol” on Fox, the three judges are new to this ABC version. Perry ignited a controversy on night 2, which aired on March 12, when she tricked a contestant into giving her what turned out to be his first kiss. Will she cause more raised eyebrows on night 3?
