It's the HOT 97 TV Diva and I'm here to tell you what's HOT on Fox 5! 

Auditions ended for the sixth season of AMERICAN IDOL and the judges' picked the Top 24 semifinalists. The 24 contestants are split into two groups – 12 males and 12 females – who will each perform a song of his or her choice for America. The fate of these 24 contestants – one of whom will be the next American Idol – now rests in the viewers hands. The judges have their say after every performance, but it's the viewing public that determines who will advance to the next round of the competition and who will go home. Voting via telephone and text messaging begins immediately after each performance show, and the results are announced during the following night's broadcast.

Themes such as country music, hits of the 21st century and Elvis Presley songs add spice to the performance shows, along with appearances by legendary artists like Stevie Wonder, Barry Manilow and Andrea Bocelli. These guest performers enable the contestants and audience members to experience a variety of musical styles.

Eventually the competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the American Idol title. Past winners Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Carrie Underwood and recently crowned Taylor Hicks already have risen to the top of the recording industry.

See what happens when the competition heats up, nerves rattle and contestants shine or fizzle out on the performance shows, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8pm (ET) and then tune in on Thursday nights at 9pm (ET) to see who America chooses to continue in the competition when two finalist are eliminated on the results show.
