American Idol Video
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 no longer a part of the show, having signed on to move to the North American version of the United Kingdom 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 articulated on her own 'Ellen' show that she would be starring as Paula's replacement, and will definitely be joining the present panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. We're 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 common, in towns such as Denver, Orlando, L. A. , Atlanta, Chicago, Arlington and Foxsborough. A number of potential idols are already starting 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. In the Chicago auditions, a few 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 working too, with one special audition having found big audiences online. The performance in question was from one General Larry Platt, a 62-year-old vet from Georgia, singing his song'Pants on the Ground'.
sadly for plenty of Idol fans, this may be the last season with Simon Cowell. Having come to the end of his contract, Cowell appears to have decided to move on from American Idol, and speculation is common as to who will replace him. Names such as Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the replacement is sure to be kept a heavily guarded secret for a while yet.
once again this year, American Idol is permitting contestants to use their own instruments during performances. This has been featuring heavily on the show for the past couple of seasons, and whilst it is not to everyone's tastes, it does add a side to the american Idol auditions that has been lacking over time.
Also this year we'll be seeing the return of 'Idol Gives Back' on American Idol. It's intended to be held in the final seven result show, and will most likely be showing videos of all the nice stuff american idol is doing to help folks globally. The date for the show is at present set as April the 21st.
The format of the show remains the same this year - the first few weeks focus on the assorted city auditions, giving back-stories to the contestants and letting us all begin to know them. The shoot for the competitors during this stage is to get their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the next phase, Hollywood. In the Hollywood auditions, the pace is stepped up and those who've made it are expected to perform to their best. 24 are selected, and these American Idol finalists move on to the show properly. 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 favourite Ryan Seacrest, presenting American Idol with his usual aptitude and unique style. Seacrest is also rumoured to be in line for Cowells role on the series ; however it's been mentioned that he favors his current presenter's position and would not like to take on the judges chair.
