  • ^Note a The New Jersey audition episode was not aired due to scheduling changes.[24]

The New Jersey audition was a late addition to the schedule,[25] the audition was held although the attendance was reportedly low.[26] However, the audition episode was not shown, the first time that a scheduled audition that had taken place was not shown. Contestants known to have auditioned in New Jersey were listed as having auditioned elsewhere on the official American Idol website, for example Alex Wong who auditioned in New Jersey has San Diego listed as his audition city on the official website.[27][28]

Hollywood week

The Hollywood rounds of auditions were held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium starting December 12, 2011.[29] There were 309 contestants at the start of Hollywood Week. The contestants performed solo for the first round, and 185 survived after this round. Amongst those cut included actor comedian Jim Carrey's daughter, Jane Carrey.[30] Another contestant, Symone Black, collapsed and fell off on stage, but was eliminated during the next round. During the group round, a number of contestants became ill; some of whom collapsed in the auditorium. 98 contestants survived the group round, and proceeded on to the next solo round where they performed accompanied by a band or instrument. The contestants were then separated into four rooms, with one room of contestants being eliminated; the other rooms of contestants advanced in the competition. The remaining 70 contestants made it through to the Las Vegas round.

Vegas rounds

After the Hollywood rounds, the contestants went to Las Vegas for a challenge round where they performed traditional late 1950s song in groups with Elvis Presley "Viva, Elvis!" show as the backdrop.[31] This was then followed by a solo Sing-For-Your-Life round as in Season 10. The 42 contestants who made it thus far performed solo accompanied by an instrument at the stage for Le Rêve at the Wynn Las Vegas.

Semi-finalists

After the 42 remaining contestants sang their last solo at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel, they were called one by one to hear the final judgement. The first 14 semi-finalists were announced on the February 22 episode.[32] The other 10 contestants were announced on the February 23 episode.

At the end of the episode revealing the top twenty-four, it was announced that the judges planned to add one more male semifinalist, resulting in a top thirteen boys. The four possibilities were Jermaine Jones, Richie Law, Johnny Keyser and David Leathers Jr. After the other twelve performances on February 28, it was announced that Jermaine Jones was the thirteenth male semi-finalist.

Months later she got a second chance for season 11 and auditioned in Houston, Texas, but she was not given a lot of screen time compared to her screen time in season 10. She was only shown in the green mile round with fellow American Idol contestants, Shelby Tweten and Ariel Sprague.

Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". In Las Vegas, Schyler was cut again, which brought him to tears.

He has also said that the children motivated him to audition for American Idol. He auditioned in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with the song "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" by Laura Branigan. His audition brought Jennifer Lopez to tears, and Steven Tyler stated "I think you are really great. I think you could be the American Idol". He is the first Korean American to make the finals on American Idol.
  • Elise Testone (born July 29, 1983) is from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and is 28 years old.

He was not originally chosen for the semi-finals, but he was called back after the top 24 selection filming, making him the 25th semi-finalist and thirteenth male semi-finalist. Standing 6 feet 8 and a half inches tall, he has been dubbed on the show as "The Gentle Giant." On March 13, 2012, he was kicked off the show due to a hidden criminal past. He is the second American Idol contestant to be disqualified during the finals, after the same thing happened to Corey Clark in the second season.

Finals

In this season, maintaining the previous season's format, there are originally 12 weeks (later reduced to 11 weeks after Jermaine Jones got disqualified) of the finals and 13 finalists, with one finalist eliminated per week, with the exception of Top 12 week whereby two finalists were eliminated as Jermaine Jones was disqualified from the competition and Shannon Magrane receiving the lowest number of votes for that week. Previous season's winner Scotty McCreery recorded the Tim McGraw song "Please Remember Me" as the send-off song played when a contestant is eliminated.

On March 7, 2012, the women performed Whitney Houston songs and the men performed Stevie Wonder songs. Ryan Seacrest stated that it will be a competition between the male and female contestants. As a result, the bottom 3 of each gender, as well as the male and female contestant who received the lowest number of votes amongst their gender, were announced the next night, and the judges chose who will go home. Between Jeremy Rosado and Elise Testone, each of whom received the lowest number of votes for their respective gender groups, the judges chose to eliminate Rosado from the competition.

Controversies

Disqualification of Jermaine Jones

On March 14, the finalist Jermaine Jones was disqualified for concealing arrests and outstanding warrants.[52] Jones, however, denied that he had concealed his previous arrests, as he admitted his arrests when he signed up for Idol.[53] A police official in a New Jersey town where he was the target of two arrest warrants said that "the case wasn't big enough to merit going after him", and that for the show "to expose, embarrass and interrogate a young man without an attorney in front of 40 million viewers was an outrage".[54] Critics suggested that the show may have staged the disqualification to boost ratings.[55] When asked about speculations that producers had prior knowledge of his criminal past and that the producers were simply out to exploit him on-air, Jones replied that "I haven’t even taken my mind into that and why they did what they did, because then I’ll drive myself crazy".[56]

U.S. Nielsen ratings

The premiere was watched by 21.93 million viewers. While at the time it drew the second largest audience of any entertainment program in the television season, it was down 16 percent from the previous year's premiere, which was watched by 26.23 million viewers.[57]
