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 off 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 pronounced on her own 'Ellen' show that she would be starring as Paula's replacement, and will definitely be joining the current 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 cities such as Denver, Orlando, los angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Arlington and Foxsborough. A number of potential idols are 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, one or two performers particularly 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 fame machine is working too, with one special audition having found massive audiences on the internet. The performance in query 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 will 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 rumination is abundant as to who will replace him. Names such as Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the actual replacement is sure to be kept a heavily protected secret for some time yet.
once again this year, American Idol is allowing 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's not to everyone's tastes, it does add an aspect to the North American Idol auditions which has been lacking over the years.
Also this year we'll be seeing the return of 'Idol Gives Back' on american idol. It's planned to be held during the final seven result show, and will most likely be showing videos of all the great things american idol is doing to help folks worldwide . The date for the show is at present set as Apr the 21st.
The format of the show remains the same this year - the first few weeks focus on the diverse town auditions, giving back-stories to the competitors and letting us all begin to know them. The aim at the competitors during this stage is to receive their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the next phase, Hollywood. During the Hollywood auditions, the pace is stepped up and those who have made it are predicted to perform to their best. 24 are selected, and these American Idol finalists move on to the show correctly. They then compete 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 rumoured to be in line for Cowells role on the series ; however it has been mentioned that he favors his current presenter's position and would not like to take on the judges chair.
