Structure of auditions

Auditions for the show were held in the seven cities shown above. As reported in The Los Angeles Daily News, the 2006 process was especially difficult: the 10,000 or so contestants waited in long lines, then were herded before two young assistant producers and given roughly 15 seconds to perform one song. At that point the large majority of them were summarily rejected.[2] Los Angeles Daily News is the second largest circulating daily newspaper of Los Angeles, California. ...


Survivors of the first phase were typically seen then by Idol's executive producers, and only if surviving that cut (because they were especially good and fit what Idol was looking for, or especially bad in some novel way) were seen by Cowell, Abdul, and Jackson. The contestants then had one chance to impress the judges by singing a song of their choice a cappella. Then the judges each gave them either a "yes" or a "no" to continue to the next round. If they received a majority of yeses, the contestant would receive a "golden ticket" that qualified them for the "Hollywood Rounds". If rejected, the auditioner returned home. A cappella music is vocal music or singing without instrumental accompaniment, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. ...


Hollywood phase

The so-called "Hollywood" phase of the audition process were held over four days in mid-November 2006 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Flag Seal Nickname: City of Angels Location Location within Los Angeles County in the state of California Coordinates , Government State County California Los Angeles County Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) Geographical characteristics Area     City 1,290. ...


The first round consisted of each contestant singing one song a capella of their own choosing in front of the judges and all the other contestants of the same gender. Contestants were then told whether they were moving on or going home, in groups of six. This extended over the first two days, first females, then males.


The second round took place on the second and third day, and consisted of groups of three or four contestants choosing, rehearsing, and then performing one of nine pre-selected songs a capella. Groups were reviewed and contestents were then judged individually as to whether they were moving on or going home.


The third round took place on the fourth day, and consisted of individual contestants performing a song from a pre-selected list, accompanied by a piano and a couple of backup singers. Contestants were again informed of whether they had made the cut or not.


Cut down to 24

The final pre-audience voting cutdown took place at the Pasadena Civic Center on January 14 or 15, 2007, just before the regional audition shows began airing (although at least one contestant had been shown a tape of the show in advance). Without any further auditioning, but possibly with some audience research having taken place, the 40 remaining contestants were reduced to 24. In a process taking a whole day, contestants wait in a sitting room until one by one, they go up an elevator and take a long walk to the other end of the Center's Gold Room. Then the three judges tell them whether they have made it onto the stage show or are cut. The Pasadena Conference Center is a convention center in Pasadena, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. ...

Semi-finalists

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The semi-finals began on February 20, with the names announced on February 14. There were three shows each week for the three weeks of the semi-finals. February 20 is the 51st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... February 14 is the 45th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...


There are no format changes from season 4 and 5. The semi-finals featured the contestants (24 total) divided by gender with the 12 male singers singing on Tuesdays and the 12 female singers on Wednesdays. Each person had the chance to select a song to sing live in front of the judges. Following the show's airing, each U.S. timezone would have two hours to vote by phone or by text-messaging. On Thursday, the two of each group with the lowest amount of votes were eliminated each week until the finals.


The 24 semi-finalists, announced February 14, 2007, were: February 14 is the 45th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...
