American Idol 11 is having another Top 7 because Jessica Sanchez was saved by the judges last week. The theme for the first Top 7 was “This Decade,” but there is no news yet for the theme for this upcoming Top 7 Redux.
However, we do know that each contestant will sing two songs. This seems like an exceedingly large number of songs for a two-hour broadcast. They sometimes do 12 songs in a show for the Top 24 and have done 13 for some Top 13 shows. I’m not crazy about this idea. I would have thought they would wait until the Top 5 or 6 to have each contestant make two song choices.
This year, the song choices have been released a few hours before the performance show. I will release them here plus the theme as soon as possible. The American Idol 11 (2012) Top 7 Redux performance show is on FOX on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The show starts at 8 Eastern and lasts two hours.
