Who Are the Top 8 on American Idol
The top 8 on American Idol refers to the eight finalists who survive each round of eliminations during the live shows. Contestants are ranked by public votes, and the lowest vote-getter is eliminated each week until the winner is crowned.
How the Top 8 Are Determined
Each week, viewers vote for their favorite performances during a designated window. The results show reveals who is in the bottom and who advances. Judges may also give feedback, but the public vote ultimately decides who stays in the top 8.
