Only more than a month and a half to go before ‘American idol’ returns with its Season 10. But as the show has revamped with new judges and much more, so has the slots has changed. Fox is now ready to own the Thursday nights too, so ‘American Idol’ has been moved from Tuesday and Wednesday slots to that of Wednesday and Thursday.
Fox announced on Friday that the network will have ‘Glee’ at 8 in the night for the Tuesdays followed by ‘Raising Hope’ and ‘Mixed Signals’ a new sitcom. Also the network has revamped the ‘American Idol’ to a great extent where the hopefuls of the competition will have the opportunity to be part of a brand new music video and they have to craft some memorable visuals for it.
The age limit for the audition has been dropped to that of 15 and no longer the judges will give the final 24 contestants but dozens of singers will be introduced where fans will be voting. According to the channel both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler have taken their job very seriously and the ‘AI’ veteran has stepped up his own game in the judging panel.
This will be the first show sans Simon Cowell and Fox will face another ‘AI’ veteran Paula Abdul in the viewership. As Paula will launch her ‘Live to Dance’ on CBS on Jan 4 where hoofers will compete for $500,000 prize money and it is launching two weeks before ‘Idol’ makes its Season 10 debut. So now it remains to be seen whether ‘AI’ can garner the same viewership that it boasted of once.
