Last night, Ryan Seacrest announced the Top Seven finalists on AMERICAN IDOL XIV - Quentin Alexander, Clark Beckham, Joey Cook, Nick Fradiani, Jax, Tyanna Jones and Rayvon Owen. Qaasim Middleton and Rayvon Owen were in the bottom two and America had the chance to save one of them with the IDOL Fan Save via Twitter. Owen received the most votes from the IDOL Fan Save and therefore continues in the competition, while Middleton, from Brooklyn, NY, was eliminated.
Also on last night's show, it was announced that the talented finalists who make it to the Top Five will join the "American Idol Live!" U.S. tour, beginning this summer. Dates and cities, including Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle,
NASHVILLE and many more, to be announced next week. Tickets will go on sale beginning Friday, April 17.
Next week, Wednesday, April 15 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the finalists will perform on an "American Classics"-themed show, which features songs selected by the viewers at home! Fans were called to action and asked to suggest "American Classics," using the Twitter hashtag #IdolClassic, creating a list of songs from which the competitors could choose.
IDOL fans now have the opportunity to save a finalist from elimination by a real-time vote using Twitter. Once host Ryan Seacrest announces the bottom two finalists and they perform, the IDOL Fan Save hashtag #Save(ContestantName) for each will appear on air, and fans across the country will have a short window (five minutes) to Tweet their Save votes (one per Twitter account). Once the IDOL Fan Save window closes, no more votes will be accepted and the real-time, immediate results will be revealed by Ryan Seacrest.
