American Idol Final
It's all change on american idol for 2010, with the ninth season of the show featuring new judges and missing some regular faces. Paula Abdul is now not a part of the show, having enrolled to head to the american version of the UK talent show X-Factor. Her place has been taken by a number of guest judges, with one particularly that will turn into a permanent fixture on the show.
Ellen DeGeneres announced on her own 'Ellen' show that she would be starring as Paula's replacement, and will definitely be joining the existing panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. We are also going to be seeing a number of guest judges, with the likes of Kristin Chenoweth, Shania Twain, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas, Victoria Beckham, Neil Patrick Harris and Katy Perry!
This year's auditions have been held all over the states as usual, in cities like Denver, Orlando, LA, Atlanta, Chicago, Arlington and Foxsborough. A number of potential idols are beginning to stand out, with performances from Vanessa Wolfe, Mallorie Haley and Keia Johnson having hit a specific high note with the judges at the Atlanta and Boston auditions. During the Chicago auditions, some performers in particular stood out like Paige DeChausse, Marcus Jones, Justin Ray, Keith Semple, John Park, Angela Martin, Charity Vance and naturally, the amazing Katelyn Epperlys audition.
The Idol celebrity machine is already working too, with one special audition having found big audiences on the internet. The performance in question was from one General Larry Platt, a 62-year-old veteran from Georgia, singing his song'Pants on the Ground'.
unfortunately for plenty of Idol fans, this may be the last season with Simon Cowell. Having come to the end of his contract, Cowell seems to have decided to move on from american idol, and speculation is rife as to who will replace him. Names such as Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the particular replacement is likely to be kept a heavily guarded secret for a while yet.
once more this year, American Idol is allowing competitors to use their own instruments during performances. This has been featuring heavily on the show for the past couple of seasons, and while it's not to everybody's tastes, it does add an aspect to the american Idol auditions which has been lacking over time.
Also this year we'll be seeing the return of 'Idol Gives Back' on american idol. It's planned to be held during the last 7 result show, and will definitely be showing videos of all the nice stuff american idol is doing to help people globally. The date for the show is at present set as Apr the 21st.
The format of the show stays the same this year - the initial few weeks concentrate on the assorted town auditions, giving back-stories to the contestants and letting us all get to know them. The aim for the competitors during this stage is to get their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the following phase, Hollywood. In the Hollywood auditions, the speed is stepped up and those who have made it are anticipated to perform to their best. 24 are selected, and these american idol finalists move on to the show correctly. They then fight for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!
ultimately, we'll again be seeing everybody's favorite Ryan Seacrest, presenting American Idol with his usual panache and unique style. Seacrest is also rumored to be in line for Cowells role on the series ; however it has been mentioned that he prefers his current presenter's position and wouldn't like to take on the judges chair.
