How to Vote For ‘American Idol’ 2022 Top 11 Contestants

ABC "American Idol" top 11

The top 11 contestants on ABC’s “American Idol” season 20 will be performing for votes from viewers on the first live Monday night coast-to-coast show of the season on April 25.

According to the episode description, “For the first time ever, ‘American Idol’ superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie will pick songs for each of the top 11 to perform. Without knowing which judge offered the suggestion, each contestant will select their favorite song to perform, revealing the winning judge.”

It sounds as if each of the top 11 will be given three songs to choose from, one chosen specifically for them by each of the judges. Then, they’ll pick the one they want to perform. The judge who has the most artists pick their song wins the contest.

At the end of the night, the top 11 will be narrowed down more.

With the competition heating up and narrowing down the playing field and the finale just weeks away, it’s more important than ever to vote for your favorite contestant.

How To Vote for ‘American Idol’ Top 11 Contestants

According to ABC’s website, there are multiple ways to vote. First, you can vote online at AmericanIdol.com/vote where you’ll select your favorite contestant. You must create an account in order to vote online.

Voting opens at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT each night, and it ends the same night right before the last commercial break of the episode. The contestants who are voted through will then be announced.

The second way to vote is through the ABC App. Users there use their accounts to vote for their favorite performers.

The third and final way to vote is to text the number of your favorite contestant to “21523” during the voting window.

According to the website, you can vote 10 times for each remaining contestant per voting method. If you vote all three ways, you can submit up to 30 votes for each of your favorite contestants.
