The auditions portion of this season will fill the rest of January before moving on to Hollywood Week the first episode in February. From there we’ll spend two weeks in Hollywood before the Top 40 are confirmed from the spoilers.

Once the Idol Hopefuls reach Las Vegas they’ll be there for two weeks and perform while split into groups based on sex. Ten of the guys will perform that Wednesday while ten girls will perform the next night. The other half of each group will perform the following week. Each night five singers will be eliminated leaving us with the Top 20 at the end of the Las Vegas rounds.

With the Top 20 singers determined they’ll perform again based on sex with the guys going on a special Tuesday episode and the girls following that Wednesday. America’s votes will then be tallied and revealed that first Thursday in March. Beyond that we’ll hit our stride with the usual Wednesday/Thursday and performance/elimination episodes until we reach the finale in late May 2013.

We will continue to update and expand this list as the American Idol 2013 season progresses.
