American Idol Hollywood
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 part of the show, having signed on to move to the North 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 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 common, in cities 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 selected high note with the judges at the Atlanta and Boston auditions. During 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 of course, the wonderful Katelyn Epperlys audition.
The Idol celebrity machine is working too, with one special audition having found massive audiences on the internet. The performance in question was from one General Larry Platt, a 62-year-old vet from Georgia, singing his song'Pants on the Ground'.
unfortunately for a large amount of Idol fans, this will 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 supposition is rife as to who will replace him. Names like Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the replacement is certain to be kept a heavily protected secret for a bit yet.
once more 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 isn't to everybody's tastes, it does add a facet to the North 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 final 7 result show, and will definitely be showing videos of all the great things american idol is doing to help people globally. The date for the show is currently set as April the 21st.
The format of the show stays the same this year - the first few weeks concentrate on the various town auditions, giving back-stories to the competitors and letting us all begin to know them. The shoot for the contestants during this stage is to receive their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the subsequent phase, Hollywood. In the Hollywood auditions, the pace is stepped up and those who've made it are anticipated to perform to their best. 24 are selected, and these american idol finalists move on to the show properly. They then contend for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!
finally, we'll again be seeing everybody's favorite 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 has been mentioned that he favors his current presenter's position and wouldn't like to take on the judges chair.
