Here’s how it all works: Each singer will record an audition at West Hollywood nightclub Whisky a Go Go, and all three auditions will air during Sunday’s American Music Awards (ABC, 8/7c). Viewers will then be able to pick for their favorite audition at http://www.AmericanIdol.com/vote, and the winner will be revealed during the season finale of Dancing With The Stars (Nov. 25, 8 pm).

Though an exact premiere date for American Idol‘s 18th season has yet to be revealed, it’s expected to begin airing sometime in early 2020.
