American Idol Audition
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 off to the american version of the UK talent show X-Factor. Her place has been taken by a number of guest judges, with one in particular that will turn 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 usual, in towns like Denver, Orlando, L. A. , 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 selected 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 fame machine is already working too, with one particular audition having found massive 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'.
unfortunately for plenty of Idol fans, this can 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 rumination is abundant 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 likely to be kept a heavily guarded secret for a while 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 an aspect to the american Idol auditions that 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 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 April the 21st.
The format of the show stays the same this year - the initial few weeks focus on the various town auditions, giving back-stories to the competitors and letting us all start to know them. The aim at the contestants during this stage is to get their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the following 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 fight for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!
eventually, 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's been mentioned that he likes his current presenter's position and wouldn't like to take on the judges chair.
