For the first time ever on Vevo, "American Idol XIII" fans can get an exclusive sneak peak at each week's new episodes with "Idol Insider," a new weekly digital series hosted by Sam Tsui, with all-new episodes airing Mondays. "Idol Insider" will preview all of the "Idol" action to come in the week ahead. All season long, it will offer VIP access to everything from interviews with the judges, mentors and finalists to performances from former "Idols" and special guests.

This week, on Wednesday, Feb. 26 (8 p.m.), on FOX, the competition continues when the top 13 finalists perform songs that convey the message, "This is Me." On Thursday, Feb. 27 (8 p.m.), one finalist's journey will end as America's vote is revealed. Plus, vocal powerhouse and "American Idol" season 12 winner Candice Glover will be back on the "Idol" stage to perform a medley of "Cried" and "Same Kinda Man," from her debut album, "Music Speaks"; and critically acclaimed singer Jake Bugg also will perform.

Tsui has been hailed as an Internet singing sensation who was among the first musicians to establish a hugely popular music-focused channel on YouTube. To date, his videos, including covers, medleys and mash-ups, have amassed more than 500 million hits on YouTube alone. With each new release, including his 2013 debut original album, "Make It Up," he continues to expand his worldwide fan base. A recent graduate of Yale University, Tsui has been able to harness the ever-changing tools of the digital music age to independently create an internationally popular channel and brand, garnering him countless TV and magazine appearances, strong digital sales and a successful international tour in 2013. More details on Tsui can be found at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/TheSamTsui; Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SamTsuiMusic; and Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamuelTsui.
