Chris Medina's American Idol Audition

Everyone's talking about it, and why not? It's by far the most touching story we've seen on Idol. The guy's singing was good, but not as good as the story you're about to see above. (If you haven't seen it already.) Good man, huge heart.

American Idol Season Ten Premieres Tonight!

Everyone's been waiting for this, and I have a feeling this first episode is going to hit ratings gold thanks to all the hype. The tenth season of American Idol kicks off tonight and with it, its two new judges... Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. Can't wait to see how they do. Don't forget to tune in tonight on FOX at 8pm!

American Idol Judges on Entertainment Weekly

American Idol judges Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and host Ryan Seacrest take the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue.

Here’s what the group shared with the mag:

On their predictions for Idol’s 10th season:
Ryan: I think you’ll see some of the youngest talent we’ve ever had compete with some of the oldest talent we’ve ever had.
Jennifer: You may have the youngest winner ever.
Randy: I’m going to go out on a limb. I think a girl’s going to win the show.

On Simon Cowell no longer being with the show:
Randy: Look, it’s definitely been interesting. He’s our friend for life. I don’t know if Steven knows him much, but Jennifer definitely knows him. We’ve all hung out together. So, listen, we definitely miss him, but it’s a different kind of vibe. It’s a different kind of energy now. And I think in season 10 the show actually really needed it.

On the show only producing three superstars - Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and Chris Daughtry:
Jennifer: I don’t know that that is such a fair statement. You named three [superstars] in nine years— that’s pretty amazing, that’s 33 percent. We all know that in this business, a 1 percent chance is huge, so I think this show is doing pretty well in that arena. So with addressing that comment, what are we looking for? We’re looking for a recording artist, a pop star, someone who’s a real artist. You can tell that when they walk in, the ones that have that special thing.

New American Idol Promos

Check out these two new promo posters for the upcoming season of American Idol featuring the new judges, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler.

New American Idol Promo

It's the first look at Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez as the new judges on American Idol. The show's tenth season premieres next month on FOX. I wonder how this will do now that Simon is gone. (Bring on the X Factor!)
