American Idol announced in June 2018 that the Idol bus would visit 20 cities, beginning with Orlando, Florida, and San Diego, California, on August 25. Auditions could also be submitted on the official website or on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok. [2] During the 2018 CMA Awards, three contestants who didn't enter the competition and didn't initially audition were given the chance to enter the competition. The contestants were Cameron Lenz, Natalie Spiroff, and Meghan Woods. The winner of that vote was revealed to be Meghan Woods on Good Morning America on November 16, 2018. [3] However, she was not shown in any episode.

Hollywood week

Hollywood week aired over two episodes on March 24 and 25 at the Orpheum Theatre. It featured three rounds: lines of ten, a group round, and a solo round. In the first round, each contestant sang individually, and after ten had sung, they gathered in a line. Those who impressed the judges and the producers were advanced to the next round, where the contestants performed together in groups of four or five. The contestants who passed the group rounds performed their final solos before advancing to the Showcase round.

Showcase round

The Showcase round aired on March 31, and featured the top 40 performing for the judges and a live audience at Disney's Aulani resort in Kapolei, Hawaii. The following day, the judges narrowed the number of contestants down from 40 to 20. The following is a list of the contestants who reached the top 20 and the song they performed at the Showcase.
