The third and final group of 12 semifinalists from American Idol's Top 36 took to the stage and performed during last night's live broadcast of the Fox reality competition's eighth season.
American Idol determined its next three eighth-season finalists last night, with Thursday night's live results show revealing that Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert had advanced to the Top 12 finals after receiving the most home viewer votes for their performances during Wednesday night's broadcast of the season's second semifinals group.
After three weeks of open audition broadcasts and two more weeks of episodes that gave viewers a look at the competition's Hollywood Round, last night's American Idol eighth-season broadcast ended with the mega-hit Fox reality show finally revealing the identities of this season's Top 36 semifinalists.
Joesplace, the anonymous online spoiler who managed to correctly reveal the names of last year's American Idol semifinalists before they were formally announced, has now released the alleged names of this season's Top 36 semifinalists.
