The first time in the American Idol history, American Idol's first live show, was when host Ryan Seacrest announced that no elimination would occur at the end of the show due to record voter turnout. This is the first time the show has made such a significant change in its history. The decision was made due to a high volume of viewer votes during the Top 14's live performances, making it impossible to accurately tally them in time. The remaining contestants were eliminated before the live shows, with names including Ruby Rae, Madison Moon, Makiyah, Abayomi, Kutter Bradley and Genevieve Heyward.
