American Idol 10: Milwaukee Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Video,
Past American Idol contestant Danny Gokey showed up to please the crowd at the Milwaukee auditions, as it’s his own hometown (and he’s not that busy with music right now). The show spent a lot of time on the city and the judges (Randy Jackson isn’t familiar with Aerosmith banner hit “Sweet Emotion”) before introducing us to the first contestant of the day.
Did any of them stand out? Will one of them be the next Idol? Tuesday's was a long episode … but did it provide a big payoff?

American Idol 10: New Orleans Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
The New Orleans auditions of American Idol opened predictably -- meaning, slowly. The show celebrated the city and itself before it got around to featuring any singing. Outtakes and footage of the judges was at last followed by the episode’s first auditioner.
There were few bright spots in New Orleans, though with the kinder panel it’s easier than ever for Idol hopefuls to score that golden ticket that will take them all the way to Hollywood. We’re hearing that the Hollywood Rounds will be longer than ever before, and it’s no wonder why. But there were a few in New Orleans who may manage to become more memorable than your run-of-the-mill Idol hopeful.

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.”

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.
