Sidenote: The judges have already whittled the Top 24 down to a Top 14. And, I’m not entirely sure when the Top 14 will be revealed. ABC press materials have not been specific. In 2016, the seven singers moving on to the next round were revealed on Duets night, at the end of the episode. We’re updating the season schedule continuously! Check it out below: (Sunday April 29 is Disney Night!)
