Theater Round

Chorus Line

The first day of Theater Week featured the one hundred fifteen contestants from the auditions round. Divided into groups, each contestant should go on stage and sing a song a capella for the judges until they stopped them. Seventy-five contestants advanced.

Groups

The seventy-five remaining contestants were divided in groups of four or three. They had to pick a song and sing. The contestants were divided into three rooms. All the contestants in room 2 were eliminated, while contestants in rooms 1 and 3 advanced.

Solos

Forty-five made it to the final round, which required the contestants singing solo. In the end, the judges take the contestants in groups of five and tell them if they made the final thirty.

Semi-Finals

The thirty semifinalists were randomly split into different groups. Each contestant would then sing in their respective group's night. There were three separate groups and the top three contestants from each group made it to the finals.

Wild Card

Eight contestants who failed to make it to the finals were invited back to perform for another chance at a spot in the finals. Only one wildcard contestant was chosen by the public vote.
