SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: 'American Idol' Season 22 Episode 11 is set to air on Monday, April 22 at 8 pm ET on ABC.

The ABC show has recently moved its episodes to live premiere and will continue the format until the grand finale of the reality show.

The live episodes provide viewers with more opportunities to influence the competition by voting for their favorite singers to advance to the next round and eliminate the least talented aspiring singers from the competition. Besides the regular performances from the ABC show contestants, the viewers were also treated to some of the award-winning guest performers.

Two Grammy winners Tori Kelly and Jelly Roll served as the mega mentors in the previous episodes and fans could expect more iconic stars to appear in the coming episodes.
