America voted -- 12 were sent home -- now, the competition for the next singing sensation begins in earnest as the Top 12 will compete to see who will become the next "American Idol."

But first, ET's KEVIN FRAZIER was at a party to celebrate the occasion with judges SIMON COWELL, RANDY JACKSON and PAULA ABDUL, as well as host RYAN SEACREST -- and the Top 12 -- held at WOLFGANG PUCK's restaurant in the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, CA!

Your "American Idol" Top 12 are AMANDA OVERMYER, BROOKE WHITE, CARLY SMITHSON, CHIKEZIE EZE, DAVID ARCHULETA, DAVID COOK, DAVID HERNANDEZ, JASON CASTRO, KRISTY LEE COOK, MICHAEL JOHNS, RAMIELE MALUBAY and SYESHA MERCADO.

The competition continues next Tuesday at 8 p.m. on FOX.
