The auditions are over and now it's time for Hollywood Week, but, even before the singers unpack their bags, they learn they must compete in a surprise "Hollywood or Home" round. In this intense new round, the judges will decide if these hopefuls really are committed and talented enough to become the next singing superstar. Some of the singers will be asked to perform one more time for the judges - and for some, this will be their last performance. It's a tough decision for the judges, but even tougher for the contestants, because those who don't make the cut must head straight home.
