Last week, for the first time in the history of the groundbreaking series, the groundbreaking talent show that saw Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson become stars hosted two Showcase episodes - so what's about to happen with the contestants and judges Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. in the American Idol season 14 episode 15?
As more and more successful talent shows appear in the US market (particularly the celebrity-filled The Voice, with coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams and Blake Shelton), the one that started it all has to make some changes to fit in as well, so what's the American Idol season 14 episode 15 going to be like?
According to Hitfix, the American Idol season 14 episode 15 will see the first episode of the Semi-Finals, after the groundbreaking Showcase Round that started last week as the contestants went through a round of solo performances from the top 48.
As Celebrity Dirty Laundry reports in the wait for the American Idol season 14 episode 15, last Thursday's saw the Judgment Day episode right after the "House of Blues" performances on Wednesday, as Jennifer, Keith and Harry joined forces to pick out the next round of the show, set to air this week.
Over the past week, there were 48 contestants left, which were ultimately cut in half for a total of 24 contestants in the semi-finals, split evenly between men and women.
Ultimately, the top 12 men that will pass on to the semi-finals this week are: Clark Beckham, Rayvon Owen, Quentin Alexander, Savion Wright, Quaasim Middleton, Trevor Douglas, Nick Fradiani, Daniel Seavey, Riley Bria, Adam Ezegeian, Michael Simeon and Mark Andrew.
As for the ladies, the remaining 12 for the American Idol season 14 episode 15 are: Tyanna Jones, Adanna Duruo, Jax Cole, Sarina-Joi Crowe, Shi Scott, Loren Lott, Shannon Berthiaume, Lovey James, Joey Cook, Alexis Gomez, Maddie Walker and Katherine Wilson.
As Jennifer Lopez herself said last week according to TV Over Mind, there were "phenomenal singers" going home over the last episode - but may the best men or women win in the American Idol season 14 episode 15!
