Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] American Idol Renewed for Season 3 on ABC With BIG Changes (Report)

 

I agree that you can replace judges, it's been done over and over again when it was on FOX. But Ryan needs to stay! You wouldn't just lose him you would lose
the phrases that I believe he owns, like "This is American Idol"!

Just
some rumors and speculation but I agree with some of this.
Katy Perry $25 M dump her there are other good female
singers that would take much less. . I don't think she
is all that great anyway

ABC With BIG Changes (Report)
There
is a rumor that ABC will renew American
Idol for a third season. The report comes from TheIdolPad.com, the website that
brings Idol-world accurate spoilers. The site also accurately reported American
Idol's renewal last year. Still, I'm a
little sceptical that a renewal is a done deal.

Sure,
compared to other shows on broadcast television, Idol's
numbers look pretty good. But the show is also REALLY
expensive to produce. Cast salaries for judges Lionel
Richie, Katy
Perry and Luke
Bryan in addition to host Ryan
Seacrest reportedly cost the network $60 million.
Also, ratings have decreased from an average of 1.6 in the
key demo at this point in 2018 to a 1.3 in 2019. Last year,
the ratings rose during the live coast to coast episodes
after a midseason lull. If, however, the live show ratings
crash, ABC may have second thoughts about renewal.

In any case, what @IdolSpoilers posted on Twitter may be key to
why ABC may be willing to renew: "Once again, we are
pleased to announce that ABC is renewing American
Idol. Having said that, major changes are expected to
occur." The
"major changes" most likely involves cost cutting. IF
ABC renews American
Idol and IF major changes are afoot, here are my
thoughts on what should happen:ABC's
easiest place to begin cost cutting would be talent
salaries. Katy
Perry earns a whopping $25 million salary, while
Ryan
Seacrest pulls in around $12 million. When mentor
Bobby
Bones stepped in for an ailing Ryan
this week, folks began to chatter. Would the country DJ be
taking over the Idol reins permanently? By all accounts,
Bobby's stint was a one time deal. But would ABC consider
replacing Ryan with cheaper talent. They better not! Ryan is
the face of American
Idol and should stay. He's worth every penny they pay
him. While a few online polls around the net indicated a
switch to Bobby would be no big deal,  I honestly think
firing Ryan could backfire. I suspect that folks who
initially didn't think they cared would have second
thoughts. Of course, Ryan could decide he has WAY TOO MANY
JOBS and quit. In which case, Bobby would be the obvious
replacement.The
judges are 100 percent expendable. The current
panel isn't doing a terrible job.. But the show is
overpaying Katy to a ridiculous extent. I firmly believe the
judges don't make or break a show unless they are a
complete trainwreck (see Mariah and Nicki Minaj's
unfortunate season 12 catfights). The success of the judges
is more about how the producers use them.  The trouble
I see with judges panels across all the singing shows is too
many antics and not enough singing.  It doesn't
matter who sits in those seats. If the judges are expensive?
Find new judges.Idol
auditions relied too heavily on the judges goofing
around. This was especially true in the first
couple of episodes. I understand highlighting the panel's
chemistry. And I DO believe the jovial vibe between Lionel,
Katy and Luke is genuine! However, a little goes a long way.
Additionally, singer backstories are an important aspect of
Idol and sets the show apart from The
Voice (an entertaining game show, basically). But never
allow the stories to overshadow the singing. I DO think both
the judges antics and singers' backstories overshadowed
the hopefuls talent.  Many viewers didn't even
realize how deep the current bench is (and it is REALLY
REALLY DEEP. Such a good season!) until the Hollywood
Round. And
maybe–here's a radical idea. Re-tool the
auditions by expanding the performances with more
instruments and bigger production. Maybe even hold the
auditions in front of an audience. X
Factor USA did this. The
Voice's big advantage over American
Idol are those full-blown performances featured during
the Blind Auditions. I would not suggest Idol mimic the
produced within the nth of its life Voice
auditions. It's important that the show maintain its
charming simplicity. However,  produce the auditions in
a way that fully highlights a hopeful's talent.Hollywood
Week can stay. But make it even more about how the
sausage is made–singer exhaustion, self-doubt etcetera.
American Idol is about finding an artist that can be
successful in the cutthroat music business. The judges
should ALWAYS be honest with the singers–and that goes for
every round of the competition. It also includes maintaining
the realistic audition age limit of 15-28. Sure, The
Voice boasts that their coaches are kind. But what
scenario serves an artists' future in the business
better–a judge being honest about their talent, or a coach
blowing smoke up a singer's butt in order to lure them to
their team? And how about those 40+ Voice contestants that
are usually cut early–especially the women.DITCH
DITCH DITCH the celebrity duets. They don't
really teach us much about the singers, and are the lowest
rated episodes of the season.KEEP
KEEP KEEP Live Coast to Coast finals. It's the
BEST American Idol twist ever. And it's also fun to have
American
Idol fans across the country watching and voting for
their favorites together. One
final thought. Please, ABC, if you really are
bringing American
Idol back for another season? I realize change is
inevitable, but don't make the show
unrecognizable! 04/11/2019 by mj santilli
