A is for America Idol




A is for American Idol. America Idol is the biggest reality show of all time and is one of my favorite TV shows ( behind the Office and House and maybe 24 ).
There are curretly 4 judges on American Idol;
Randy Jackson, the awesome judge who has to use the word 'dawg' every five seconds, and is producing another show called America's Best Dance Crew. He has bee with American Idol since it begun in 2002.

Simon Cowell, who has also bee with the show since seaso One, has earned the hate of all but a few of the contestants, and is known for his often very harsh, but truthful remarks about the contestants preformances.

Kara DioGuardi, who has produced many ablums, working with stars Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, and is currently working with Kris Allen last seasos winner, she debuted last season.

Ellen DeGeneres, who is the host of the world-famous show Ellen and has been brought in to replace Paula Abdul, who left the show just before the current season. She always said yes even to the worst performances, and always seemed drunk.

Ryan Seacrest has always been the host, and is just there, I've never really thought much of him.


The show works by going to many cities where hundreds of thousands of people come to audiotion to be on the show. If you can get at least three out of four yesses, you move on to the next round.

The next round is called Hollywood week, where all the people who have passed and got the golden ticket preform again with three other singers in front of all the judges. Out of the hundreds of people that make it, only twelve guys and twelve girls move on.

Next, the show really begins. They all do a performance and the viewers vote for who should move on. The person with the least amount of votes is eliminated. This goes on until there are only two people left. Then they each do three performances, often collaberating with famous artists. The person who gets the most votes wins, and gets the prize, a free record deal.
Now I'm going to talk about my top 3 American Idols ever, they are;
David Cook ( who won Season Seven ) beat out David Archuleta and became the first ever winner of American Idol that was neither a country nor pop singer, but more of a rock-and-roll one instead.
Carrie Underwood ( who won Season Four ) beat Bo Bice and thankfully won. I think Carrie's a great singer and that she and Taylor Swift should really do a duet.
Kelly Clarkson ( winner of Season One ) she was the first ever winner of American Idol and set what the standard is for most idols today, to be a young pop-star.
I hope that you agreed with my ideas if you have watched/watch this show and if you haven't I strongly recomend it, being my favorite reality TV show. Also if you ever want to see Simon again on this show you must watch season nine ( the current one ) because he ois supposidley going to leave the show after this season to judge a different singing show, X-Factor, which has been a hit in Great Britian and is going to be brought over here next fall.
