American Idol Season 17: Top 10 Singers to Watch in Hollywood Week

Now that American Idol‘s audition rounds are (finally!) over, it’s time to look ahead to Hollywood Week, where the judges will separate the true stars from the false idols.

Well, that’s there you came in. All throughout the audition process, Team TVLine has been polling our readers to find out which singers they’re digging thus far.
