A long wait is finally over for the nation, when the jury members of the reality based Talent Hunt show ‘American Idol’ will finally reveal the Top 24 semifinalists. The auditions which got over for the ninth season of American Idol saw the Judges’ pick their well deserved 24 Idols. The top 24 contestants consist of 12 females and 12 males, all coming from different nooks and corners of America, with the promise to deliver the most amazing and undiscovered talent with a lot of surprises along the way.

The earlier episodes of the talent hunt show saw a lot of talented singers trying to prove their mettle in front of the judges. The show saw the contestants singing their solo numbers, before the judges revealed their lucky top 24 contenders. The sensational singers enlivened the air with their numbers, although there were a lot of repeated songs, yet, each singer tried to make their songs as unique as possible.

The 24 lucky semifinalists who managed to battle their way in are: (females) Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Lacey Brown, Michelle Delamor, Katelyn epperly, Siobhan Magnu, Paige Miles, Ashley Rodriguez, Lily Scott, Katie Stevens, Haeley Vaughn and Janell Wheeler. While the male members consist of Lee Dewyze, Andrew Garcia, Tyler Grady, Todrick Hall, Casey James, Aaron Kelly, Alex Lambert, Michael Lynche, Joe Munoz John Park, Jermaine Sellers and Tim Urban.

The next episode of American Idol will have the 24 singers divided among two groups- the male and the female who will battle it out by performing the top 10 hits from the Hot 100 chart. The first night will see the ladies setting the stage on fire with their scintillating performances followed by the boys who will level it down on the next day.

So it is a matter of wait and watch, as the contenders get the show rolling, with a lot of nerve rattling moments, as tensions mount due to the competition for their first performance show. After each performance the voting lines will be open for the viewers for two hours where the American Idol fans will vote for their favorite contestants. Idol fans can also use the branded toll-free telephone numbers (1-866-IDOLS-01, -02, etc.) until 12:00 AM ET/PT (11:00 PM CT/MT), subject to time zone restrictions, and AT&T wireless subscribers can use their cell phones to vote by texting the word “VOTE” to the four-digit short number (5701, 5702, etc.) that corresponds with the contestant of their choice. The results of the viewers pick will be announced on the second day of the program, where the nation will see two girls and two guys being eliminated on the first result show of the season.
