American Idol Audition
It's all change on American Idol for 2010, with the ninth season of the show featuring new judges and missing some regular faces. Paula Abdul isn't part of the show, having signed up to move to the North American version of the United Kingdom talent show X-Factor. Her place has been taken by a number of guest judges, with one particularly that will change into a permanent fixture on the show.

Ellen DeGeneres articulated on her very own 'Ellen' show that she would be starring as Paula's replacement, and will definitely be joining the present panel with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi. We are also going to be seeing a number of guest judges, with the likes of Kristin Chenoweth, Shania Twain, Mary J. Blige, Joe Jonas, Victoria Beckham, Neil Patrick Harris and Katy Perry!

This year's auditions have been held all over the states as common, in towns such as Denver, Orlando, L. A. , Atlanta, Chicago, Arlington and Foxsborough. A number of potential idols are already starting to stand out, with performances from Vanessa Wolfe, Mallorie Haley and Keia Johnson having hit a particular high note with the judges at the Atlanta and Boston auditions. During the Chicago auditions, some performers particularly stood out like Paige DeChausse, Marcus Jones, Justin Ray, Keith Semple, John Park, Angela Martin, Charity Vance and naturally, the amazing Katelyn Epperlys audition.

The Idol celebrity machine is working too, with one particular audition having found huge audiences on the internet. The performance in question was from one General Larry Platt, a 62-year-old veteran from Georgia, singing his song'Pants on the Ground'.

unfortunately for plenty of Idol fans, this will be the last season with Simon Cowell. Having come to the end of his contract, Cowell appears to have decided to move on from American Idol, and supposition is common as to who will replace him. Names like Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the replacement is sure to be kept a heavily guarded secret for a while yet.

once more this year, American Idol is allowing competitors to use their own instruments during performances. This has been featuring heavily on the show for the past couple of seasons, and whilst it is not to everyone's tastes, it does add a side to the North American Idol auditions which has been lacking over time.

Also this year we'll be seeing the return of 'Idol Gives Back' on American Idol. It's intended to be held in the final 7 result show, and will most likely be showing videos of all the nice stuff american idol is doing to help folks globally. The date for the show is presently set as April the 21st.

The format of the show remains the same this year - the first few weeks focus on the assorted town auditions, giving back-stories to the competitors and letting us all start to know them. The aim for the contestants during this stage is to receive their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the next phase, Hollywood. In the Hollywood auditions, the speed is stepped up and those who have made it are anticipated to perform to their best. 24 are selected, and these american idol finalists move on to the show correctly. They then contend for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!

ultimately, we'll again be seeing everyone's favourite Ryan Seacrest, presenting American Idol with his usual flair and unique style. Seacrest is also rumoured to be in line for Cowells role on the series ; however it has been mentioned that he favors his current presenter's position and would not like to take on the judges chair.
