You've probably been wondering what the rules are to this crazy AIFL competition. If you participated last year, you will notice some changes. That's because American Idol's format has changed, so we need to structure our contest differently.
The main idea is to predict correctly what will happen on the results shows of AI. You'll need to check this blog each week (probably on Sunday or Monday) to see the specific details on what you will need to predict. Be on the lookout for bonus competitions every week, a chance for you to earn some extra points.
The next four weeks will be crucial, because America will narrow the field from 36 semifinalists to the vaunted TOP TWELVE.
Each of the next three weeks, 12 semifinalists will perform, and America will vote for its favorites. Every week, the top male, the top female, and the next highest vote-getter will move on to the top 12. After the first nine are chosen, the fourth week will be a wild-card round, where three more contestants will be voted in to complete the top 12. For a full explanation of the process, click here.
So, here's your challenge for the first week, if you're interested:
1. Watch the show on Tuesday night.
2. Predict who the top three will be, and post your prediction as a comment to Tuesday night's post on this blog, which I will post immediately after the show, 8 pm Central time Tuesday. You need to post your predictions before 6 pm Central time on Wednesday.
3. Watch Wednesday's show to see how you did. You will receive 25 points for each correct guess.
Pretty simple, huh?
But wait, there's more! To make things more interesting, we're going to start our first BONUS COMPETITION right now. For an extra 25 points, guess which of the 12 contestants will sing first on the show Tuesday night. Whoever guesses correctly gets the first 25 points of the competition. If no one guesses the very first singer, points will be awarded to whomever's choice sings earliest in the show. You can only pick one singer. Post your choice as a comment to this blog post before Tuesday, 6pm Central time. Good luck!
If you want to see who is performing Tuesday night, click here. Choose one of those first 12 from group one, or you'll be wrong for sure.
If you want to do some additional research into all the semifinalists, click here. You will find photos and video clips to help you make your predictions.
Now, for your viewing enjoyment, here's a classic audition clip from a few seasons back. Leroy Wells--can you dig it?
