Premieres Jan 17-18, Wed & Thurs, 8pm & 10pm
(Two-part special)
Very little is being done to alter the winning composition of
American Idol. Not that we're complaining. Bad singers, we're sure,
will invade our horrified (yet delighted) sights and eardrums when
no less than SIX audition episodes arrive fresh for the toasting in
our living rooms. And honest, nasty judge Simon Cowell will raise
controversy and step on everyone's nerves with his chilly and irate
insults - again to everyone's glee.
The seven cities that the producers made a pitstop for auditions
for the sixth season since August 2006 were Los Angeles, San
Antonio, East Rutherford, Birmingham, Memphis, Minneapolis and
Seattle. Tens of thousands auditioned. According to the show's
official website, preliminary reports are out that the talent this
year will definitely not disappoint. Guest judges for the auditions
include Jewel and Olivia Newton-John.
American Idol premieres on Jan 17-18, Wed & Thurs with a daily
two-part special at 8pm & 10pm. Jan 25: 7.30pm. Jan 24 &
Feb 1: 8pm. With effect from Feb 7, the show will air every Wed and
Thurs at 10pm
