Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Want to keep track of your favorite contestant from Season 12 of American Idol?

You’re going to have to follow them on new Facebook and Twitter accounts.

As it has for at least the past two years, Idol has given each of the 20 semifinalists new accounts for both.

Here’s a list of the new accounts.

And, just to make it interesting, I’ve included the number of followers the contestants have on each as of 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Some of those numbers are deceivingly low. Several contestants had more followers on their old accounts, an indication that some fans haven’t made the switch yet.

Follow the links under each contestant and you’ll land on their social media pages.
