American Idol is moving along through Season 15. On Wednesday night, the judges revealed the four people they decided to put in the Top 10. The remaining spots in the top ten will be determined by the voters. Tonight, the results of the voting will be revealed, and four contestants will be sent home. Then the final Top 10 will all perform.
According to American Idol’s Website, Kelly Clarkson will be visiting tonights show as a guest judge and performer. I am sure her appearance will bring some needed excitement to the show.
