TV show description:
A pop singing competition reality show that has become phenomenally popular.
Contestants (ages 16 to 29) are found via nationwide open auditions. The number of contestants is narrowed down, through subsequent single and group auditions, and are judged by record producers Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson, and singing-star Paula Abdul. They are later joined by Kara DioGuardi.
In the final weeks of the competition, the judges critique performances but only the most popular singers (determined by audience votes) stay in the competition. At the culmination of the season, the most popular singer is named “American Idol.”
The series is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

Okay this show is getting old cancel it already.
terrible! cancel it!
Cancel this crap already!!!
Seriously, I’m still watching it.. But it don’t make me get addicted to it. I was just looking forward on who’s winning..
I do like American Idol and there are not many reality things that I like. This gives talented hopefuls a shot at what they desire most in the world, a singing career, and the opportunity to hear the truth from true experts in the field of entertainment. Plus, we the audience, get to hear some amazing singers. It is a competition based on the individual’s own talent, not some arbitrary choice made by some horny man who may look good but has no soul or integrity. The Bachelor -now, that is a show that is worth replacing.
