‘American Idol’ is officially BACK for its 17th season, and its second season since it was rebooted and moved from FOX to ABC.

The three judges actually chose which contesants will be moving on all the way until the Top 14, which came after intense auditions, followed by Hollywood Week, then the Showcase Round and Top 20. Beginning with the Top 14, the vote will be in America’s hand until just one winner is chosen! Season 17 of ‘American Idol’ premiered on March 11 and will run until May 19, which will feature a live finale that viewers will NOT want to miss.
