The smash reality series showcases wannabe pop stars competing for a record deal by crooning for three judges (including, most entertainingly, the acid-tongued Simon Cowell), who review a performer's talent (or lack thereof); and at-home viewers, who vote for their favorite potential star.
  • Comedy Companion Show For Idol? | Today's News: Our Take | 7/24/2008 New
    If all goes well in the world of television creation, Fox may have a potential companion show for American Idol come this March. According to Variety, Fox has greenlit the pilot for Glee, a new series from Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy. The one-hour comedy, which takes place in the Midwest, centers on the world of high school glee clubs and — in the same vein as Idol — will feature at least four well-known, popular songs per episode. "No original music is being written," says Murphy. "It's like American Idol, a form of karaoke. People like to see people singing songs they know." The show may not be as dark as some of the storylines that docs McNamara and Troy endure, but at the same rate, don't expect Hannah Montana either. Murphy assures viewers "it's not a kid show" and will have a "Fox edge" about it that will appeal to both adults and children alike. — Gina DiNunno read more
  • New Video from Idol's Chris Daughtry | The Great American Idol Blog | 7/23/2008 New
    We may be between seasons of American Idol, but that doesn't stop various alumni from cranking out new music and videos, including one of the most successful of the bunch, Chris Daughtry. Through emotive clips and captions featuring our world's troubled conditions, the rocker's new video for his single "What About Now" conveys a powerful message that even the "average Joe" can make a difference. Side note: Did anyone else have Van Halen's "Right Now" flashbacks after watching this? read more
  • VIDEO: Ryan Starr Reveals Why She Doesn't Watch Idol | The Great American Idol Blog | 7/21/2008
    Speaking to TVGuide.com at Fox's TCA press tour party, former American Idol contender Ryan Starr previewed her new reality show (well, the best that she was allowed to), and also revealed why she doesn't keep tabs on the show that made her almost-kinda-sort of famous. Plus: Did Idol fail to uncover any skeletons in Ryan's closet? read more
  • David Archuleta: Aspiring Weather Forecaster? | The Great American Idol Blog | 7/17/2008
    Earlier this week, former Idol contestant and human-kitten, David Archuleta, appeared on his Good Day Utah for an interview and wound up taking a stab at workin' it in front of the green screen for the weather report. It was a valiant effort on his part as he astutely pointed out all that "green stuff" that represents rain. Perhaps he's discovered a latent talent after all these years? read more
  • Writers Guild to Make Example of American Idol | The Great American Idol Blog | 7/11/2008
    The WGA is back in business after the long strike season, and one of its renewed goals is to push for jurisdiction over reality shows — beginning with the biggest one of them all: American Idol. Over the past three years, the WGA has been trying to expand its hold over not just scripted shows, but reality, gameshow and animation programming as well. Since those items were taken off the table during the strike, the Guild's trying to gain support the old fashion way — by holding a press conference and then bussing supporters/protestors to San Francisco to stage their own version of American Idol outside the show's real auditions at the Cow Palace. What does their "own version" of Idol mean? I'm guessing it's either hideous karaoke or their version of what the show would be like without any "writers" on board. I'm kind of hoping they have a Ryan Seacrest impersonator who just primps himself in a mirror during the whole show. Do you think the WGA has any business interfering... read more
