The contestants have 24 hours to memorize and then perform a Beatles hit song. This is one step closer to finding out who the top 24 will be! 327 began Hollywood Week, this round began with only 61.
At The Mirage, in Las Vegas, contestants frantically worked on their Beatles songs. They get to perform their songs on the stage for Cirque du Soliel The Beatles Love stage.
Slightly psychotic contestant, Ashley Sullivan, took this opportunity of being in Vegas to get married in between rehearsing. The cameraman was the witness and she chose the same place that Britney Spears was married in, ’cause that relationship really worked out well! Now she is Ashley Suraiva.
Once finished with performances and after making a few cuts (61 down to 40), the Vegas survivors had one last chance to sing for their lives before the top 24 cuts are made.
Among the 17 cut to find our top 24, was Chris Medina. America fell in love with him when we heard his story about his fiance and the car accident that has her confined to a wheelchair. Medina has stayed with her and helped her through this difficult time, the truest test of love. Jennifer Lopez broke down in tears after letting him go.
