And now… we get a look at some of the top 24 selected by the American Idol judges, who get the news at the Kodak Theater where they performed.

Michael Lynche “Big Mike” – makes it through.

Didi Benami – sang “Angel” during her final audition. Simon says she’s not the most consistent, but she makes it through!!

Katelyn Epperly – sang “Bubbly” for her final audition. Ellen plays a fun game of delaying the news before telling her yes, she’s made it through to the final 24.

Shelby Dressel – she doesn’t make it through, though Randy Jackson says she showed a lot of growth and encouraged her to try again.

Casey James – makes the top 24.

Aaron Kelly – we’re shown his audition ups and downs before he sits before the judges for the final word: yes, he makes it through.

Lee Dewyze – made it to the final 24.

Todrick Hall – makes it!

Jessica Furney – she was rejected in season 8… and didn’t make it again. Lots of begging, but a no is no when it comes to filling those top 24 spots.

Seven of the top 24 were revealed tonight… we find out the rest tomorrow.
