'Idol' Reveals Semi-Finalists with a New Spin
American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Randy Jackson narrowed down the competition to 24 contestants on last night's show, but with a spin—one more male contestant will be given the chance to join the semi-finalists.
Seemingly eliminated contestants Jermaine Jones, Johnny Keyser, Richie Law, and David Leathers will be given a second chance to take one more step forward towards their Idol dreams and join the rest of the pack on the musical journey.
