Tonight from Las Vegas, the first group of girl semifinalists performed on the stage of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles LOVE Theatre at The Mirage.

Next week on Wednesday, Feb. 27 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Feb. 28 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), another 10 semifinalists will perform each night - girls on Wednesday and guys on Thursday. Each night, the judges once again will face the tough decision of choosing which five will stay and which five will be sent home.
