Using custom-built Zoom technology, contestants that sang for producers got a green light to move onto a judges audition.

This season, American Idol will air live again, but with necessary safety protocols in place.

To ensure the protection of the cast, crew and participants, the number of cities where the auditions were held were reduced, and the judges will be socially distanced.

American Idol mentor Bobby Bones told the outlet that this season, one of the biggest changes this season is that contestants get to pick their own format.

"In Hollywood Week, the judges went around into the rooms a bit more than ever before and worked with the contestants as well," Bones said.

"We had duets last year, but the big twist this year was the judges paired people up.  [This year], the judges really wanted to put people sometimes with extremely different kinds of singers, so it was a strategy."
