American Idol released the first part of the Season 9 schedule. There are some time slot changes and the Top 24 is back. I can’t believe it is almost that time again. Are you ready?
The “Hollywood Round” episodes will air Tuesday, Feb. 9; Wednesday, Feb. 10; and Tuesday, Feb. 16. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, dreams come true for 24 contestants, as Simon, Randy, Kara and Ellen announce the Top 12 male and Top 12 female semifinalists.
It will then be up to America to decide who moves forward in the competition. The first performance show featuring the Top 12 female semifinalists will air Tuesday, Feb. 23. The following night, Wednesday, Feb. 24, the Top 12 male semifinalists will perform. The results show revealing America’s first vote of the season will air Thursday, Feb. 25, when the two male and two female contestants with the fewest votes will be sent home.

@ Dr. Electro:
Carrie’s special is a repeat
That’s right, Amy. Even if I print the schedule I’m likely to lose it before January.
Also, why isn’t anyone blogging Carrie’s special on Fox?
Well, dang! Good thing I’ll have you to keep me on track – I’ll never be able to remember all those time changes.
