When can you vote?

Fans can vote for performers beginning Sunday, April 29 at 8 p.m. ET and ending at Episode 14's last commercial break. Voting will run for three weeks, with the same schedule, and results will be revealed at the end of each episode in real time.

How many times can you vote?

Up to 10 times for each remaining contestant.
