American Idol 10: Season Premiere
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features, Video,
American Idol kicked off its tenth season in New Jersey. And how did the show start? How else? With a montage. Because, despite all the casting changes and media back-and-forth, Idol wanted to prove that it hasn't really changed at all. If the Ford ads plastered everywhere didn't already convince you, that is.
So it began, with a fast-paced montage of news coverage following the shake-ups after Season 9. Everything was hyped to the line “Because the best … is yet to come.”
Good one . . . but that remains to be seen. After America was introduced to the new judges (“I decided to become a judge because we can actually take somebody and change their life,” Jennifer Lopez, "I took this gig because I love music," Steven Tyler and “Wow. It’s a different table. But you know what? It’s hot. Let’s go, baby,” Randy Jackson), America was given a melange of audition clips. And then a few more. Some shots of the judges. . . and a few more.
It only took nine minutes to get through the recaps, get-to-know-yours and montages and see a few actual auditions.

New American Idol Panelists Giving Contestants More Chances
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol,
“I think we work with [the contestants] a little more than…maybe you’ve seen in the past. We give them more of a chance, because we know what it’s like to be out there,” Jennifer Lopez – who was recently named to the new judging panel along with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler— explained of the current season of American Idol.
“Some of the kids are so young that I’m not sure if they can get how long it’s taken me to be successful,” Steven Tyler explained.
Randy Jackson said that Lopez and Tyler are both “still hugely successful artists performing currently, doing it. So I think a lot of these kids are watching the two of them.”
The tenth season of American Idol will begin airing in January. Get all the gossip, rumors and news - read all our American Idol 10 posts.

American Idol Announces 10th Season Judges
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
As suspected, American Idol announced on Wednesday that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are definitely on board as judges in the upcoming 10th season. Alum Randy Jackson, who has weathered every judging change without batting an eye, will be returning to the series to join them. The only surprise to the panel comes in the form of Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Record.
From their comments, one may infer that J-Lo plans to be the new “nice judge” in the same vein as Paula Abdul. “For nine years I’ve enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams,” she said. “I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I’m looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit in the many American Idol contestants I look forward to meeting this year.”
Steven Tyler, on the other hand, seems poised to become the new Simon Cowell of the panel. “If you don’t like what I say don’t get mad, get better.”

FOX Announces Upcoming American Idol Announcement
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Rumors,
In a move ripped right from the pages of Comedy Central’s production notes, FOX has broken the long silence regarding the upcoming American Idol 10 judging panel…but the network doesn’t have a lot to say.
FOX announced on Thursday that the panel is, indeed, a done deal…but they’re not going to announce the panelists until next week.
Of course, the new Idol panel has been the worst-kept secret in reality TV. For months, it’s been well-known that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are replacing Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi and Simon Cowell on the reality series. Tyler reportedly inked his deal last month. J-Lo is rumored to have at last signed her own contract (for a cool $12 million) just this week.

American Idol: Jennifer Lopez to Accept Judging Gig for $12 Million
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip,
Gossip tells us that Jennifer Lopez will be accepting a position on the American Idol judging panel for $12 million per year. Rumor says that J-Lo tried to hold out for $15 million and a movie deal, but FOX said nothing doing and held firm on their offer.
Lopez doesn’t have a lot of bargaining chips. Her last movie was not successful at the box office, and her longtime label dropped her soon after the flick bombed. We’re hearing that J-Lo has definitely accepted the Idol gig, but wants to postpone the official announcement until her new single can be released in mid-September.
