American Idol 2014 Auditions, Rumors, Spoilers: Top-31 Finalists List Reportedly Leaked [VIDEO]
Season 13 of American Idol premieres on Jan. 15 and Jan. 16, but the Top-31 contestants may have already been revealed thanks to a leak by Idol bloggers.
Blogs AmericanIdol.net and The Idol Pad claim to have knowledge of the hopefuls that will make it to the Top-31 this year. These finalists are those who received the "golden ticket" to Hollywood during the auditions and then wowed judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. enough to make it pass Hollywood Week. According to AmericanIdol.net, this season will feature a Top-31 group instead of the traditional Top-40.
In addition, this season will reportedly not feature an even number of males and females advancing past Hollywood Week. In fact, the blogs claim that there will be one more male than female.
This Top-31 list has no familiar faces from last season's semi-finalists, according to The Idol Pad. Although those who made it to the Top-11 of season 12 were reportedly eligible to try out for season 13, none of those hopefuls are seen on the Top-31 list.
It is believed that filming for the Top-31 was filmed from Dec. 14 until Dec. 22.
