American Idol is a singing talent show done by 'FOX' in The States. The very successful television show seeks to find the most talented young singer in the country. It started off in America in June 2002 and hit off. The show originally was Pop Idol, in the Uk, but creator Simon Fuller brought it to America. It is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.
The show goes through three main different stages, auditions, Hollywood and preforming on the two main stages. Auditions take place in many different states throughout the whole country. Millions try out, of most which couldn't sing to save their life. People all over tune in to watch these people make a fool of themselves on national television and get critiqued by three judges, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell. The nice, sweet judge is Paula, Randy is the cool fifty fifty judge and Simon is by far the hardest to please. For his mean comments the world laughs and loves him, he has a large crowd of followers, including some maniacs who sit through hours of waiting to audition and see him. It is many peoples favourite part of the show. Another stage is Hollywood, if they are lucky enough to get through auditions they are to go to Hollywood and go through different tasks there to show off their singing. During these few days the contestants can get very stressed and lash out, and all is revealed on the camera which many find quite amusing to see. People also forget their words alot and like to blame other people for what they do wrong. Then the top 24 make it to the stage of American idol and everyone preforms solos. Now the public can vote by either ringing or txting for their favourite preformer. After twelve people are eliminated the twelve contestants left sing on the big stage which is when people start singing two songs and the competition gets really intense. The judges are still there to give feedback but the country are who decides who stays and goes.
Quite often the show turns into a popularity show rather than a singing talent show. But those who have talent and are on American Idol are exposed to different agencies who might want to sign with them, so in a way almost everyone gets somehting out of the competition. For example Chris Daughtry came sixth in American Idol but is now very successful with his band. In this way it is a show full of many oppurtunites and can give alot of people their dreams.
The winner of the whole show receives a contract with SONY and always goes very far.
