Fans say talent in 'American Idol' Season 17 beats previous seasons by a country mile

After auditions and three rounds of performances during Hollywood Week and a solo performance in Hawaii, the Top 40 contestants were reduced to half their number

From the Auditions, to Hollywood week, to Hawaii, the road to making it as one among the Top 20 has been a long journey for the contestants in 'American Idol' season 17. After auditions and three rounds of performances during Hollywood Week and a solo performance in Hawaii, the Top 40 contestants were reduced to half their number. Half of the contestants were sent home. Though it was a sad sight to see some fan-favorites go home in Hawaii, it just proved the competition is all set to become tougher, preparing us for more eliminations in the future.
