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 now not 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 change into a permanent fixture on the show.
Ellen DeGeneres announced on her very 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 already starting to stand out, with performances from Vanessa Wolfe, Mallorie Haley and Keia Johnson having hit a particular high note with the judges at the Atlanta and Boston auditions. During the Chicago auditions, one or two performers in particular stood out like Paige DeChausse, Marcus Jones, Justin Ray, Keith Semple, John Park, Angela Martin, Charity Vance and naturally, the smashing Katelyn Epperlys audition.
The Idol celebrity machine is already working too, with one special audition having found huge 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'.
sadly 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 made a decision 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 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 while it's not to everyone's tastes, it does add a facet to the 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 intended to be held during the last seven result show, and will be showing videos of all the good things American Idol is doing to help people worldwide . The date for the show is presently set as April the 21st.
The format of the show stays the same this year - the initial few weeks focus on the various city auditions, giving back-stories to the contestants and letting us all get to know them. The aim at the contestants during this stage is to get their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the subsequent phase, Hollywood. During the Hollywood auditions, the speed is stepped up and those who have made it are predicted to perform to their best. Twenty-four are selected, and these American Idol finalists move on to the show correctly. They then contend for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!
eventually, we'll again be seeing everybody's favourite Ryan Seacrest, presenting american idol with his usual aptitude and unique style. Seacrest is also rumored to be in line for Cowells role on the series ; however it has been mentioned that he likes his current presenter's position and would not like to take on the judges chair.
