]]> American Idol is rolling with the same lineup for the upcoming 20th season of the popular singing competition show. Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie are set to return to their roles as judges, and Ryan Seacrest will continue to serve as a host.

Perry, Luke, Richie, and Seacrest joined American Idol in season 16 when the reality series was revived on ABC following a two-year break.

“The chemistry and passion Katy, Luke, Lionel, and Ryan bring is second to none,” said showrunner Megan Wolflick in a statement. “We couldn’t be more ecstatic that they are returning for this iconic 20th season in search of the freshest new talent that this nation has to offer.”

The 20th season of American Idol will air in the spring of 2022. The search for worthy contestants is set to start on August 6th through virtual auditions.

California-native Chayce Beckham was crowned the winner in season 19, which wrapped up back in May. The show was unable to return to its glory days in terms of viewership, managing to bring between 7 and 8 million viewers per episode. Still, this was enough for ABC to hand it a renewal shortly after the season finale.

The music competition, which is heading into its 3rd season on ABC (and its 18th overall) will see Seacrest at the helm with the team — including judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, and in-house mentor Bobby Bones — also back. 

“American Idol has been my home for 17 seasons and I can’t wait to return to the stage,” said Seacrest. “It’s the greatest gift to be able to play a part in discovering new talent with a franchise that has been such a relevant part of American culture for so many years.”

“Ryan has been hosting Idol since the beginning, and the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the show after 17 seasons are remarkable,” said Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment. “We can’t wait to see what’s in store as Ryan, our superstar judges and in-house mentor set out on their nationwide search for the next great music sensation.”

Seacrest will still keep his other engagements, which include his radio show On Air with Ryan Seacrest, ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan, as well as the annual live show Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.

On Wednesday, the Londoner was honored on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with his very own star.

The tribute was the 2,642nd star on the famous walkway.

The 58-year-old, who has been responsible for acts such as One Direction, Westlife, Camila Cabello, and Fifth Harmony, appeared as a judge on American Idol for 9 years, created both X Factor and America’s Got Talent.

At the start of his speech, Simon joked, “Why did this take so long?” before saying, “If anyone says fame is a bad thing, I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s the best thing in the world.”

The initial winner of American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, also spoke at the ceremony.

“He’s the best friend you can ever have,” she said from the podium, “He’s honest and supportive. Never got the mean [Simon]… I’m still waiting.”

Amongst those in attendance were One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, Idol alums Katharine McPhee and Adam Lambert, Leona Lewis, Grace Vanderwaal, and the judges from America’s Got Talent, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Mel B.

Congrats, Simon — keep shining!

]]> Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are not having any of your bad vibes!

The past American Idol winners were put head-to-head during a poll by The Tylt, over who the public believes is the “most iconic winner” of the singing competition.

Kelly won the first season back in 2002, while Carrie claimed the title during the show’s 4th season in 2005.

Since then, both women have achieved success — Kelly, by releasing 8 albums and winning 3 Grammy awards; and Carrie having 7 Grammys, as well as being named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2014.

The I Don’t Think About You singer spotted the survey, and, instead of sharpening a competitive edge, she decided to acknowledge the accomplishments which both women have achieved.

Her fellow Idol backed her up, with the What I Never Knew I Always Wanted songstress calling for publications to celebrate women’s success rather than pit them against one another. Preach!

As far as we can tell, they’re both winners.

]]> After being featured on Fox for 15 seasons, American Idol is set to return to ABC for the 2017-2018 season. Now the network has revealed that Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan will join the show’s judge panel. It was previously announced that the show will feature Katy Perry as a judge and Ryan Seacrest as a host.

American country singer Luke Bryan went on Twitter and confirmed the news via video saying: “I’m so excited and proud to announce that I will be one of the three judges on ABC’s American Idol.” He also went on to call Lionel Richie his “hero”.

Lionel Richie also shared his excitement about joining the show in his statement following the announcement.

“I am very excited to be joining Katy, Luke, and Ryan on American Idol,” Richie said. As a singer, songwriter, and producer, I feel I can bring a great deal of experience to the table. It’s going to be so much fun!”

American Idol’s host Ryan Seacrest also went on his Twitter profile and gave the fans a little glimpse of the shooting that started on Tuesday.

Created by Simon Fuller, American Idol started airing on Fox in 2002, completing its original run in 2016 with 15 seasons. Some of the winners include Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Kris Allen, Lee DeWyze and Trent Harmon. The show had a huge success, being described as “unparalleled in broadcasting history” and “the most impactful show in the history of television”. After some record-breaking numbers, the show saw a decline in ratings following the 2012–13 season which ultimately lead to American Idol being canceled by Fox in 2015. At the beginning of 2017, rumors started circling about the possible revival on NBC or Fox, before ABC stepped in and acquired the rights for the show announcing its return in 2017 – 2018 season.
