This week's American Idol has been nothing short of mesmerizing. The reality singing competition will see some incredible performances by the Top 23 contestants on Sunday night as they attempt to impress the judges (country superstar Luke Bryan, pop princess Katy Perry, and Oscar-winning singer/songwriter Lionel Richie). The participants will be competing against each other to win America's votes.

Monday's episode of American Idol saw the Top 20 take the stage and perform their best to earn their place in the Top 14 of the competition. Out of the 20 that were chosen, 10 contestants will be safe to enter the Top 10, and the rest will fight for their place in the competition from the danger zone. The judges will only pick four contestants out of the 10 in the danger zone.

Cameron Whitcomb was the first to enter the danger zone, and it remains to be seen if he will enter the Top 10.

From the Top 24 who showcased their talent after Hollywood Week to the competition finding Season 20's Top 20, the show has come a long way this year. As the contestants gear up for more challenges ahead, only time will tell who makes it to the top and wins the coveted title.
