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

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

unfortunately for a lot of Idol fans, this can 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 speculation is abundant as to who will replace him. Names such as Elton John, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and George Cloony are being thrown around, but the particular replacement is likely to be kept a heavily guarded secret for a while yet.

once more this year, American Idol is permitting contestants to use their own instruments during performances. This has been featuring heavily on the show for the past couple of seasons, and whilst it isn't to everybody's tastes, it does add a side to the 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 planned to be held in the last 7 result show, and will be showing videos of all the good things American Idol is doing to help folks globally. The date for the show is at present set as April the 21st.

The format of the show stays the same this year - the initial few weeks concentrate on the diverse city auditions, giving back-stories to the competitors and letting us all start to know them. The aim at the competitors during this stage is to get their'Golden Ticket' and move on to the next phase, Hollywood. In the Hollywood auditions, the pace is stepped up and those who have made it are anticipated to perform to their best. Twenty-four are selected, and these American Idol finalists move on to the show properly. They then contend for the judges and audiences favor, facing weekly'votes' over who stays and who goes home!
