American Idol 9 will launch January, 2010

American Idol will be the seventh American series I have blogged. I started watching American Idol in Season five, but it didn't end very well. I wanted to watch it again in 2008, but Big Brother's winter season came on almost at the same time. I watched season eight, in which they made a few changes to evolve the show. It seems to be ironic that two of the US's biggest shows (Idol & Survivor), were failures in the UK, whereas in the UK, their successes are Big Brother (formerly) & I'm A Celebrity, and here they are just mostly looked at as Summer fillers.

In Season eight, they gave us three new elements to the show, and now only one of them has been confirmed for returning. The first new addition was a fourth judge, that being Kara DioGuardi. She made a good edition to the show, simply because she meant business and was a fair judge, completing the objectives of her as a judge. Next, they went from a top 24 to a top 36, in which they brought back a wild card episode, and gave us a top 13, with 13 finalists.

In Season eight, they had some memorable people, including the finalists who made the final four, Alison Irahita, Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert, & Kris Allen. They were a good final four, and the ones who stood with the most potential, and they were a good final four. Also, I easily remember the disappointments, Katrina Darrell, aka Bikini Girl, who showed up to her audition in her bikini. She was very hot, except, most AI voters are women, who aren't into appeal of another woman. Also, I was very appalled over Nick Mitchell, aka Norman Gentle, who was horrifying as he got to perform.

They have also given us some more things to change the show with. First off, Paula Abdul, the judge since season one, will not be in the next season. During the auditions, the auditioned will be face to face with a special judge, one for each city hosting an audition. Lastly, after the auditions we will be given the fourth official judge, Ellen DeGeneres, whom is actually a talk show presenter, and has nothing to do with the music industry. I hope she has logic opinions, and doesn't does the job.

I have some potential for AI9, and I hope it's good. I look forward to the next season, how about you all?
