On Friday night, while walking the red carpet at the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest told THR that the reality show will be cutting the results show this season. Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance have each made a similar change.
He said, “We are going to do the performance show and the results in the same show… So there won’t be a ‘Wait ’til tomorrow night.’ There won’t be a ‘Coming up, coming up, coming up.’ We are going to put it all into one format in one night. So that will be exciting.”
Seacrest noted, “[It will be] one night when we get to the final stage, the top 10, there will be one night of performances and results all in one night.”
What do you think? Do you think this change is a good idea? Will you be watching the new season of American Idol?
Is it me, or is American Idol, trying to be a Rising Star Copycat(Rising Star, is technically cancelled since it didn’t make the ABC Summer Schedule). The Rising Star, does the performance and the results same show, and American Idol is taking that, and of course mixing it up a bit so they don’t get sued and is doing a “Performance and Results on the same show. Who else agrees, then again it could just be me ranting.
ok wow some really angry people here LOL & all over American ideal LOL………….well I don’t think the show is that bad……..yes it needs some updates but I have enjoyed it since the beginning & will keep on being loyal 🙂 I love the idea of cutting it down to 1 nite…………love the show but thank god LOL………..I’m very happy with the panel….I think they are a perfect mix 🙂 but please update what songs they can sing or the music categories………….it needs to be more current for sure but said I enjoy the show 🙂
A show that no longer produces significant talent. I haven’t watched for years and I still won’t in the future.
_AMERICAN IDOL_ has outlived its usefullness. WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE. This is not the 50’s and this is NOT American Bandstand. The BUFFOONS that performad AND THEN WIN are USELESS and few see that. HOW MANY Elton Johns; EAGLES, or Rolling Stones has this DECADE PLUS OLD SHOW Produced? NONE. There are but a handfulof performers who anybody even REMOTELY remembers like Clarkson, the Barry Manilow look-alike, and the DATRY singer. OTHER THAN THAT these CLOWNS are has beens that never was… Like Dancing with The Stars and other REALITY GARBAGE SHOWS…clowns will continue to watch these CHEAPLY produced… Read more »
ARE you mad, BRO?
The RANDOM capitalization OF words seems TO indicate an IRRATIONAL anger.
As I have suggested in the past, these reality competitions’ results show are nothing but a waste of a network’s schedule. If these reality shows are going to remain on the air, then maybe they should just stay at one day a week rather than two or more.
Eventually, “The Voice” on NBC may end up getting itself cut down to one day a week.
In that I may watch the show again
Yes! I am all for this idea. Never did like having to wait that extra night.
Yes, inching closer to the ‘C’ word.
So how does that work? Guess west coast and Hawaii/Alaska votes don’t count?
They’ll be announced the following week I suspect.
