Thirty-nine talented young singers stand on the precipice of superstardom. And so does one kinda crazy chick who has only one drum stick (musical, not chicken) as well as the potential to turn American Idol bandleader Ray Chew’s job into the kind of situation that might pique renewed interest in a revival of Discovery Channel’s recently departed Dirty Jobs.
Yes indeed, tonight’s final installment of Season 12 Hollywood Week put the women through their final paces, narrowed their numbers to a lean 20, and — if the “we need a girl to win this year, Please!” intro is to be...

The end of American Idol's 12th Hollywood Week is upon us, as the girls battle it out during solo rounds. At the end of the day, 20 will be left standing to join this season's top male contestants.
Let's find out who will be moving on to Las Vegas, shall we?
Each female singer will have the option of choosing a song from the Idol song list or singing an original number for her solo audition. This is a new twist for this stage of the competition, one which doesn't seem to have been offered to the guys last week.
Angela Miller chooses option two and decides to sing an original song for the judges. She plays piano with Idol musicians backing her and it gives me chills it's so good. Angela just set the bar so incredibly high it's going to be hard for the other girls to compete with her.

Thursday night's (Feb. 14) episode of "American Idol" starts by asking if a girl can win. We don't actually think a girl can win anymore, honestly. But you don't necessarily have to win the whole thing to have success.
It's the final day of Hollywood Week. 47 women will be whittled down to 20 (and presumably, we'll see the 28 men cut down to 20 as well).
Here are the highlights:
Group One:
Angela Miller takes a risk by performing an original song. Hmm. Turns out, however, that she's pretty incredible. The judges are blown away. Keith Urban looks like he's about to cry.Also in that group are Candice Glover on "Girl on Fire" and Janelle Arthur on "I Told You So" and both are great. Who is not great is Zoanette Johnson, but that's no big surprise. She really has no business still being there. She makes up her song on the spot and it's like -- Ok.

The American Idol judges handed out golden tickets to 162 female hopefuls and tonight they descend on Hollywood. Hearts will be broken. Dreams will be crushed. Hopes will be shattered.
And that's just in the previews.
Which of the women will be left standing? Let's find out now!
We begin tonight with sudden death performances. In groups of 10, the ladies will take the stage. Some will go home immediately while others will advance to the infamous Group Rounds.
Mariah Pulice, who is recovering from anorexia, and Angela Miller are in the first group, along with Victoria Acosta, a mariachi from San Antonio. Angela proclaims that this is the year for a girl to win Idol. It's been 5 years, after all. Angela and Victoria advance while it's the end of the road for Mariah.
Country girl hopefuls Rachel Hale and Janelle Arthur end up in the same group. Nicki comments to Keith...
